...the "reality" that MOST of us prefer to deal with...
...is THIS one :
...DKAM $0.09 (-$0.01 / -10.00%)...off more than 95% from its all-time high...
...unfortunately YOU and several others here are currently LIVING that reality...Duke...
...if the "New Rheingold" tastes like the "Old Rheingold"...
...I doubt that it will sell well long-term, nostalgia aside...Duke...
...tooz, it's a traditional New York brand...
...along with Ballantine and Schaefer, which all were big sellers until the '60's or '70's...
...I believe that Schaefer was once the largest-selling in the U.S...
...but, I guess time and tastes changed...
...can't imagine my father drinking some raspberry microbrew...or even Corona with lime for that matter...
...the bottom line is that the Rheingold that I was once forced to drink one Easter night in the late '70's was not a pleasant-tasting brew...
...very harsh with a strong and bitter after taste...
...my belief is that Drinks' attempt to "recapture" some of that old New York nostalgia will not be very successful...
...Rheingold is one of those "acqired tastes", which I doubt the generations below me would appreciate...
...I'll have to try one soon and report back...Duke...
...so far ahead of your self it's amazing...
...a handful of concerts and open-air parties, a small handful of bars...ALL spun off of the Kid Rock Concert series...with ALL Kid Rock fans...
...ALL Kid Rock ALL of the time!...
...how you can POSSIBLY put pen to paper and come up with those numbers is incredulous!...
...transferring Kid Rock appeal by Kid Rock fans to the general population is irresponsible...
...you are acting as if Drinks' was producing and selling an existing product, such as...let's see...hmmmmmmm!...Oh, yes!...Labatt Blue!...
...I am certain that you will look back within two years and rue those estimations just as you "should have" rued your TV numbers...
...IMO...Duke...
...Kid Rock was great tonight!...
...didn't catch his entire act...maybe the last 6-8 minutes...
...did he mention the beer?...
...Taylor Swift was a sweetheart...
...but John Rich's "Shuttin' Detroit Down" was pretty awesome...
...makes me ask : did Kid play "In Times Like These"?...Duke...
...thanks for the "buys" @ $0.102 and above...
...but I was really counting on you guys to get me to $0.12 today...
...you know, with sneak's call for an $80 buyout soon, and all...Duke...
...honestly...the "numbers" you make up...
...are improbable and embarrassing...
...KR Beer should do VERY well in its infancy...
...but your unsubstantiated anecdotes (how many is that in the past two months?) about "queries" at KR concerts, etc, etc don't fool me or anyone here that thinks objectively and independently...that your minions, salivating for news, truthful or not, buy your prevarications is not surprising...what choice do they have NOW?...at NINE POINT SIX cents?...
...by the way, this line was a beaut! : <<Only 2 out of 10 even know he has a beer>>...
...six weeks ago you were telling us how EVERYONE knew about KR Beer...youtube, concerts, KR website...
...now it's down to "2 out of 10"!!!...
...seriously, you should do a better job of recall on your past posts...TOO funny!!!...Duke...
...oh, and by the way...you picked a spectacular stock to compare DKAM with : AIG...
...it is currently caught inside a classic (and monumental) "short-squeeze"...you know....the type you guys are always claiming will occur with DKAM...of course it will never occur, however, as the shares short are minimal (of course I'm not including the tens of millions of "naked shorts")!!!...LMAOLYWB!!!...
...as we can clearly see, all of this "great news"...
...has gotten us as low as $0.08 (that's "EIGHT CENTS" on a 5-Star restaurant menu)...
...what's going to happen when some inevitable "bad news" suddenly rears its ugly head?...
...will we see "caution's" $0.05?...or worse???...
...too much wild and unfulfilled speculation on this particular board has frightened potential investors who visit here hoping to gleam some positive yet objective DD...
...in addition, some of this board leader's "minions" are beginning to get a healthy dose of reality...and it's showing...
...to sit here and pontificate that a product such as "Kid Rock Beer" is and will be a huge success and launch this company to financial success and a monumental buyout offer, is simply not realistic...
...I might even say "ridiculous"...
...PLENTY of "niche" products in ALL segments of the market have come and gone during the past 25 years...an overwhelming amount of those being merely short-term winners...remember "Billy Beer"?...
...to assume that KR Beer will not be a fad is an assumption that most of you should NOT make, IMO...Duke...
...I beg to differ!...
..."The King" NEVER guesses!!!...
..."stretches"???...maybe...Duke...
...p.s. : hope the stock's recent plunge didn't affect you as it did me, cubby...
..."Long but not strong"...Duke...
...I don't know how I'm gonna make any money...
...with you "longs" selling @ $0.082...
...what did I get myself into here, kez?...Duke...
...p.s. : I think I need a bandaid...
...I guess it's "Murphy's Law" that on the same day...
...I plunk some coin down, the "King" goes to sleep, offering us only 1500 kegs a month!...
...I was hoping for Rolling Rock, LaBatt and maybe a "Caster Semenya" line of sports drinks for people of "all" sexes!...
...it could replace "Newman's Own" and compete with the likes of Gatorade, Powerade and All Sport...
...then we could roll the brand's success into a reality show named "Caster's Castaways", where the audience would vote on the sexes of stranded contestants performing sports challenges on a desert island...
...pretty cool, eh?...
...who's in?...PK???...Duke...
...there ya go, gink...
...no troubles whatsoever...plan unfolding right on schedule...
...no need to worry about anything that's occurred in the recent past...
...hey!, close your eyes!...today never happened!!!...
...that's right, we didn't see EIGHT CENTS today, did we?...
...our eyes were closed!...
...sorry, bud...something stinks around here right now, and Mr. Market is warning us to be careful...
...I hope I get out of my trade with my shorts! (the ones I wear)...Duke...
...I'm betting we close AT or near...
...the HOD...Duke...
...most of "you" should, first and foremost, be concerned about "yourselves"...
...and what you are doing with your hard-earned coin...such as "investing" (more likely dumping your life savings) into risky "pennies"...
...hopefully you will mature and begin to do your OWN DD...instead of relying on anonymous message board posters (more commonly referred to as "Pumpers"), who DO NOT have your best interests in mind, let me assure you...
...that's a good start...then look at stocks with solid balance sheets, growing earnings and revenues, etc, etc...
...I suggest that when you see such a "poster", just as some here who consistently exaggerate the company's potential and who interpret "no comment" as "we're going to buy this brand and that brand", that you take his advice with a grain of salt...or perhaps TWO grains...
...I like kezz's and caution's takes on what is going on with this stock...
...10-Q's and 8-K's are often difficult to navigate through...
...my take is that the more difficult they are to understand, the more challenges there are ahead for the company and its shareholders...
...by the way, please don't hate me simply because I choose to look at a situation as an opportunity and so decide to attempt to take a legal advantange of same...
...I certainly don't deride you for buying much higher...Duke...
...I will begin selling @ $0.10...
...your cooperation would be greatly appreciated...
...and your legal "complicity" duly noted...Duke...
...think I'll "pull down a few" shares today...
...for a trade...Duke...
...good lord!...this is not funny!!!...
...not even CLOSE to being funny!...
...what in hell is going on???...Duke...
...how me reporting a (perhaps) unnerving, yet indubitable fact...
...somehow makes me responsible for the disclosure of it <<keep up the good work>> is beyond me...
...Ohio, do you not find this stock's action to be bewildering, if not demoralizing?...
...you are usually truthful...let's have it...Duke...
...sneak and some of the others blame it on...
...llegal "naked" short-selling...
...but most of us don't "buy" it, if you follow my drift...Duke...
...$0.10 (-$0.01 / -9.09%)...all-time low...
...this stock is sick, folks...
...something's wrong, but the impeccable and irrefutable DD here is incapable of diagnosing what it is...Duke...
...yeah, Lee...but don't leave out "Dre Cognac"...
...or is it "Dre Tequila"?...
...or, maybe "Dre's Own" Inner City Soft Drinks?...you know, the blue soda, coconut lemonade, etc...
...hey, how about a play on words : "Dre's RED Rheingold"?...
...are you following me?...D-R-E "inverted sideways" to spell R-E-D!!!...
...good gawd I think we might have a winner on our hands...
...we could market "Dre's Red Rheingold 40'S"!!!...these would supplement Kid Rock's 22's in the ghetto...
...no need to thank me...100,000 preferred shares will buy my silence...
...in addition, I understand Dre's "new" CD is almost finished...I mean started...
...hard to make this stuff up, eh, King?...Duke...
...a quite disturbing (and most unfortunate) item from today's CC...
...Mr. Kenny decided to take the "low road" once again and attempt to belittle a critic of his beloved company who has had the "audacity" to highlight the possible merits of a lawsuit brought against Drinks' by The Liquor Group...
...to single out "Brandi" Christine during the CC (where no one was there to take him to task) may have brought a "chuckle" to himself and his minions, but these actions resonate as those of a pledge to a college fraternity...
..."Here ya go, boys...look at the bimbo in the bleachers"...
...this decision was unprofessional, childish and unbecoming of ANY CEO of ANY company...
...I liken this action to the decision by Mr. Kenny to attempt to embarrass and trivialize a frequent poster here who has added more to this board than ANYONE the past two years by filing for a trademark in his board I.D. (kezzek)...
...no one here (NO ONE) has brought more objective facts and reason to this board than kez...
...it might be one thing to challenge and attempt to isolate someone such as ME, who has made a living here the past two years with satire and one-liners...but to intentionally identify and attempt to ridicule and besmirch the reputations of two of the most outspoken, yet honest critics here is simply sophomoric, childish and unprofessional...
...it is difficult and stressful enough, I am sure, to run a publicly-traded company...but to allow yourself to become so easily distracted by trivia is disturbing, to say the least...
...Mr. Kenny, grow up and apologize!...
...and FOCUS on the task at hand!...Duke...
...so it appears that the "Global Beverages Asia" deal is on track...
...otherwise we would have been communicated so...
...LOL...when is this company going to communicate with YOU?...
...the SHAREHOLDERS...
...YOU who OWN the company!...Duke...
...more misinformation...
......MUCH more!!!...
...300 kegs over TWO days...
...333 total!...Duke...
...wrong again!...
...unless PK lied on the CC...Duke...
...BCInvestor...not always a fan of yours...
...but to get under PK's skin, ala the kezzek trademark, tells me something disturbing about this company's management...Duke...
...you were wrong!...
...PK stated (not a direct quote) "33 kegs to surrounding businesses near Comerica Park"...
...100 or 50 kegs to Cheli's was / is an exagerration..Duke...
..."I hope we've been candid about them"...
...yes, and thanks for the update about Global Asia Bevs!...
...LMAOLYWB!!!...Duke...
..."Good afternoon"?...
...I guess out over the Atlantic...Duke...
...10:59 a.m....last chance to load up under $1.00!!!...
...LMAOLYWB!!!...Duke...
...you are wrong, again...
...and will be PROVEN wrong, again!...
...just pray (for your financial situation) that KR Beer is not a fad...
...you unintentionally fed us some truth yesterday :
...TWO bars in the county adjoining Detroit's now serving KR Beer...in a county of 800,000 peeps (most, I believe, the "blue-collar" types you've been touting as KR Beer's "loyal customer base")...yet we've been fed dozens of salivating anecdotes (without links of course) detailing what seemed to be dozens of locales serving up thousands of KR Beers...
...how anyone can take the leap from KR Beer's apparently successful soft launch at KID ROCK CONCERTS to a multi-billion dollar product defies logic...
...if that's what you are building your castle upon, I suggest you keep a "cunning" eye out for the tide...Duke...
...now THAT is some VERY telling DD!...
...Macomb County, which is considered part of the greater Detroit metro area, and which is home to approximately 800,000 residents who work in such places as : GM, Daimler- Chrysler, Ford, General Dynamics and TRW (all employing a minimum of 1,000), and where the county demographics detail a population of 93% WHITE caucasians (and most likely some VERY hard-working All-American Beer-Drinking white caucasians)...
...now has TWO bars which sell "KR Badass Beer"!...
...not ONE...T-W-O!!!...
...that's correct!...I saw it on an ad for "Terry's Terrace", that world renowned "Casa de cerveza"!...why would "Terry" lie?...
...however, please do not disregard the other two hundred or so posts here which detail the omnipresence of KR Beer all over Michigan...
...it's the OTHER 82 counties in Michigan where the sales are "to the moon"!...Duke...
...some objective, honest AND very fair questions...
...but I side with Lee on your delivery...
...find a way to incorporate "spell check" into your writings...
...perhaps you are provided an editor for your "columns", but you leave a few question marks hanging out there with your posts...Duke...
""This company is run like a kid with A.D.D., from one product to the next never making any one a hit.IMO""...
...now THAT's funny!...Duke...
...honestly, you have to be impressed...
...by the latest Drinks' PR :...
...https://research.scottrade.com/research/stocks/news/news.asp?docKey=100-226u4902-1
...OH!, I'm sorry!...it WASN'T Drinks' release...it merely SOUNDED like a Drinks' release!...
...it was ANOTHER company's, whose PR's rabidly resemble Drinks' overachieving PR's...
...YES!, the sky's the limit!!!...
...please backup my ample DKAM holding with a "strong buy" play of 1 or 2 million shares of the NEXT big winner...LIQR!!!...
...and PLEASE don't mock my DD!!!...it's ALL here for you!!!...Duke...
...excuses are easy to find...
...it's times when you "suck it up" and take the lemons and make lemonade that winners show their true character...Duke...
...+1.00!!!...I LOVE it!!!...
...took me 4 minutes to compare the two numbers and locate the differential...
...this BAD'S for the "g"...Duke...
