Exactly why I refuse to sell any shares despite being up several hundred percent. That's when they turn into bashers to try to get back in. It's always good entertainment.

Another firm applies to grow marijuana
Great find! I guess this answers everyone's question of the plans for CEN Biotech!
http://blogs.windsorstar.com/2013/11/12/another-firm-applies-to-grow-marijuana/
Nov 12, 2013 - 9:00 PM EST
Last Updated: Nov 12, 2013 - 10:23 PM EST BELLE RIVER – CEN Biotech is hoping to cultivate, harvest, trim, dry and package marijuana in Lakeshore and be one of three proposed medical marijuana production facilities in Essex County.
The company declared its intentions in a letter to council as it is required to do as part of an application to Health Canada to be a licensed grower of marijuana for medical users. The proposed facility would be at Manning and North Rear roads, which is close to the OPP detachment at Manning Road and Highway 401.
In a letter to council, CEN Biotech CEO Bill Chaaban said the team putting together the application for a production facility includes lawyers, pharmacists, ex-police officers and municipal representatives.
CEN Biotech is proposing to build a 58,000-square-foot steel barn to house its operations, according to a town document.
Council was supportive of the proposal, saying the industry posed no concerns because it will be highly regulated.
“Welcome to Lakeshore,” Coun. Linda McKinlay said.
Coun. Dan Diemer said the proposed site next to the OPP detachment was perfect.
“It’s a highly regulated industry, no different than Seagram’s or Hiram Walker,” Diemer said. “We love industry of any kind.”
Mayor Tom Bain said he didn’t think the marijuana growers would post any problems for the town.
Council discussion Tuesday centered on whether the production facility qualified for agriculture zoning if it had a commercial component and how it would be assessed for tax purposes.
Coun. Charles McLean asked whether commercial zoning applied if the marijuana growers were going to process the crop on site. Steve Salmons, director of community and development services, said it would not be unlike a milling operation for grain.
“If they mill their own grain it’s value added, but they can’t take grain from anywhere else,” Salmons said. The property would be taxed at the agriculture rate, staff said.
Salmons said growing marijuana was a legitimate crop much like a greenhouse operation. Security at the facility will be tighter than what is found at a maximum security prison, he said.
Health Canada has received 248 applications nationally from companies wishing to set up licensed marijuana growing operations. The federal government, which used to grow marijuana for medical users as did medical marijuana users themselves, has changed the regulations around medical marijuana production.
The federal government is turning over medical marijuana production to the private sector in large commercial operations. Medical marijuana users will no longer be able to grow their own pot as of March 31 and the federal government is getting out of the business as of April 1.
The other two facilities are ECGreen in Oldcastle and a Leamington greenhouse, which includes London-based Fifth Avenue Para-Legal and Private Investigation Services Inc. as an investor. Fifth Avenue and its partners propose constructing a 70,000-square-foot greenhouse with security that might cost up to $1 million, said Fifth Avenue’s Garry White.

This new acquistion of BZNE combined with recent news a few days ago of the unexpected involvement/investment with Fuse Science (DROP), who has a similar technology, is a very interesting turn of events. I have a feeling that Frost and the boys might have something in the works much larger than any of us would have thought. It'll be interesting to see how these pieces all fit together...

MusclePharm to Acquire BioZone Pharmaceuticals' QuSomes(R) Technology and Manufacturing Facilities
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/musclepharm-to-acquire-biozone-pharmaceuticals-qusomesr-technology-and-manufacturing-facilities-2013-11-13?reflink=MW_news_stmp
DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - Nov 13, 2013) - MusclePharm Corporation (OTCQB: MSLP) ("MusclePharm"), a leading international, award-winning sports nutrition company, announced today it has signed a definitive asset purchase agreement with BioZone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("BioZone") to acquire substantially all of the assets of BioZone and its subsidiaries.
Under the terms of the agreement, MusclePharm, through a newly formed Nevada subsidiary, BioZone Laboratories, Inc., will acquire substantially all of the assets of BioZone and its subsidiaries including its manufacturing facility in Richmond, California; all assets associated with BioZone's QuSomes®, HyperSorb and EquaSome™ technologies; BioZone's Baker-Cummins line of products; and, the name "BioZone". In addition, BioZone will retain the right to market QuSomes® technology for a period of time. The Company will also license certain of the acquired assets to BioZone for a period of time.
BioZone's patented QuSomes® technology enhances the absorption of topical and other drugs. MusclePharm is evaluating the QuSomes® technology in connection with nutritional supplements to determine if the combination of QuSomes® and nutritional supplements will enhance the absorption and speed of delivery of several MusclePharm products.
MusclePharm's management believes that the acquisition would provide MusclePharm with additional benefits:
•A substantial opportunity to bring science, innovation and sophistication to the sport nutrition market;
•An opportunity to realize meaningful cost savings by utilizing the existing BioZone facilities in Northern California to establish a new west coast distribution center for MusclePharm products;
•An opportunity to realize meaningful cost savings by internalizing and consolidating MusclePharm's product quality control programs which are currently being outsourced; and
•An opportunity, over time, to internalize various components of manufacturing of MusclePharm products.
Commenting on the announcement, Brad Pyatt, Founder and CEO of MusclePharm, stated, "We believe that the acquisition of the BioZone assets provides MusclePharm with numerous avenues to create shareholder value. In addition to acquiring the delivery technologies and science, we will have an opportunity to improve our logistics and supply chain and take control of QC procedures. Lastly, it gives us a long-term roadmap to eventually take control of our manufacturing."
The purchase price to be paid by MusclePharm at closing is 1.2 million shares of the Company's common stock, of which 600,000 shares will be placed into escrow for a period of 9 months to cover indemnification obligations. While in escrow, the 600,000 shares shall also be subject to repurchase by MusclePharm for $10.00 per share in cash. Non-escrowed shares will be subject to a lockup agreement containing certain leak out provisions as well as permit private sales.
Closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions including the delivery of a fairness opinion to MusclePharm, regulatory filings, and shareholder approval by BioZone shareholders. Closing will occur subsequent to satisfying all closing conditions which is expected to occur prior to December 31, 2013.

That's also what real investors care about. Some people are so focused on sure structures when it really doesn't mean much in the development and growth stage of penny stock. They need the capital and that's how it happens. Clear and simple. Expect it. It's useless information to me and to be honest, even if there is additional dilution (which I've not seen any clear evidence for recently), why wouldn't it be expected for reasons mentioned? It's a completely different story when dilution occurs with no company progress. Clearly that is not the case here, as all capital raised has been used very strategically and effectively. The goal of dilution is to ultimately increase long-term investor value. We can clearly see that happening here as our products are swiftly moving up the bodybuilding.com ranks, distribution networks continue to expand, and the CEN Biotech project is coming to fruition. Of course flippers hate dilution because they're not in for the long term...

There's something wrong across the entire trading system. Not sure how large scale the problem is, but seems to be effecting trading of all stocks...
MSLP
Too bad people don't understand that hitting the ask will increase the pps and the worth of their shares, while hitting the bid and buying there will depreciate the pps and the worth of their shares. The money saved by buying low for a measly 1/10th of a penny cheaper is much less than the money lost through depreciation by them unknowingly pushing the pps down. I don't know what's more annoying, the bidsitters trying to get a lowball buy, or the bid backers (nervous amateurs and MMs) selling to them, both of which cause the pps to drop...
FITX
Even more confirmation of the agenda behind it. I bet the company got on it and had it removed due to falsifications.

I'm sure it was, I'd be scared if I was shorting this too. Regardless, that article disappeared, the link doesn't work anymore. I was hoping to read it for a good laugh at the desperation attempt...

Thoughts are that watching the movement of a stock and it's normal healthy up and down movements on a daily basis is a waste of your time. I'm not sure your strategy here, but if you are long on a stock, none of these short term movements should make a difference in the long term and it's much easier on your GI tract to peek in every once in awhile rather than minute to minute. What is important at this stage is the continued tangible company progress, increasing product distribution networks which will over time increase revenues, and eventually stock valuation will follow...
FITX
Thank you for the informative fact-based post rather then speculation and personal opinion. It is refreshing and much appreciated...and is great news to hear.
ECDC
Nice! In the last year these guys have been working hard and this deep penetration into the market through such a large number of distribution channels, including the mother load bodybuilding.com, is very impressive evidence of that hard work. The vision continues to unfold perfectly and strategically as Bill has predicted from day 1..
FITX
Agreed.
ECDC
I'm assuming this must be your first penny stock then, because it's a common theme down here, many are much worse. I'm not approving of any of that, just stating reality. A few posts back I had outlined the primary issues/complaints such as those issues, along with the things Kaye needs to do to right them and reverse the course.
ECDC
Just my opinion that it's a waste of time. I'm down the same amount as you guys. However, I see a board with only a lop-sided one side of the story view pertaining simply to the R+D phase of a company prior to them executing what they have built (which we are now only beginning to see), and without noting progress and positives which can equate to a turn around of the company and stock just as reckless.
ECDC
I see it as a continued indicator of growth and long-term shareholder value being built, regardless of what the SEC is looking at. Regarding the SEC investigation, I know I hold a minority view, but I personally viewed the SEC announcement as a positive PR; these guys are now legally being held accountable for their actions, and it will force them to walk the straight and narrow from here on out with close scrutiny of their actions. Who knows, at the end of all this we could see major reversals/return of some of the things we've all continued to complain about such as outrageous executive compensation and bonuses, share structure, the shady sportswear operation, etc.; maybe even share buyback or share cancellations will be forced upon the company. Who knows, but my personal feeling is that it was probably the best thing to happen for the longs. Sure, there could be short term fallout, but those short term events/movements are meaningless to me...
MSLP
I use the iPhone Vir2o app from the iTunes Store which actually works great, even smoother than the website. Not sure about the Google Play store, but it is available there somewhere per the previous PR.

I agree my ole' friend. I think I'm the only remaining long who hasn't turned against ECDC (despite probably being down more money than all of them combined), and I still have full faith. Don't get me wrong, like I said I believe Kay and his companies will successfully succeed. I think he has worked very hard to build what he has since I first invested in ECDC in early 2011. In a true business sense, in terms of typical business, I think his progress has been swift for what has been accomplished. The main point of my last post was that he needs to find a way to bring back shareholder value for current shareholders in order to gain trust of future investors. I outlined the factors and issues that need to be addressed for that to successfully happen, in order for ECDC to once again look favorable in the eyes of potential investors. He needs to realize that there are many investors like myself who invested in the company, not the stock. I just hope his future moves will benefit not only future investors from this point onwards, but most importantly bring redemption to the investors who funded his company and growth up to this point. That will truly be his most strategic move to regain the confidence of the investing community for the future of the company. I hope he can do it and understands the importance of doing so.

I'm not referring to any OTC short report. Regardless, that would be even additional evidence than what was posted regarding shorting at that time. I just feel bad for you because you're not going to take advantage of a great and solid company and run based purely on misconceptions and misunderstandings of the necessary evil called dilution in a penny stock development and growth phase. Doesn't affect me either way, but I'll send you a postcard from the beach when all is said and done...:)

This is very impressive daily steadily movement up on the charts since products have only been available on bodybuilding.com for a few weeks now. It is very telling of where the company is heading. Solid products, rapidly gaining popularity and a user base are what will move us there. That's outside of the whole CEN Biotech company arm. FITX is a win-win situation for longs IMO. Flippers and MMs will unfortunately continue to do their thing along the way up, but it's the long term prize I keep my eye on. Just a matter of time, not if, and I'll hold every last share as long as it takes. With my luck, the time I would decide to flip some shares, I'd probably end up giving away some I bought at .001 and then it pops and never returns back down. I'm not interested in taking that risk. The risk of flipping my shares and then not having them for when this does run up to more appropriate valuation is not worth the bigger reward of where we're heading...

Yeah, I love the AminoPlex. Have tried 4 flavors so far and just reloaded a couple canisters couple weeks ago. Haven't tried Alpha drive yet, but did also try the HyperInfusion and Metabolic Xtreme, both of which were great. Hoping those will come to bb.com soon too.

They do carry alpha drive on bb.com. It was released there a couple weeks ago.

This interview is actually a great listen. I didn't realize this had to do with StudentConnect implementation in CA. Looks like the older PR regarding StudentConnect in CA (Napa) is coming to fruition, as is also occurring in other states including GA, SC, and LA. I must say that this is the most positive movement and momentum with the StudentConnect technology that we have seen to date. This type of progress in such bureaucracy such as the education system is very impressive actually, and does not happen quickly. I applaud Kaye and the company for this tremendous objective progress that has been made.
I still have great hope for the future of the company and the products they have built, as they are clearly making progress with capital raised which will hopefully turn into revenue and cutting debt. I have still never sold any of my shares and I don't plan to because I think there's plenty of life yet to be revived in the stock and in the company, as long as Kaye plays his cards right.
However, as we can see, the stock remains in limbo at the lowest level it can drop to after a huge reverse split without even a bid despite massive shares being traded/dumped daily, presumably from toxic financing. No one is going to even think about investing in this company until Kaye begins to prove that current investors can still benefit from their investment in this company and makes a comeback for them. In order to attract new investors, he needs to show more respect to current investors who have lost a huge amount of money (including me). He needs to stop assuming that everyone who has invested in the company did so only for trading and short-term profits rather than in the company itself. This is absolutely false for many of us. He needs to show respect and honor his word by increasing shareholder value (but not by another reverse split), increasing revenue, decreasing debt, decreasing overinflated salary and bonuses (current amounts reflect poor character and business ethics given the cash flow company status), stopping dilution, and proceeding with share buyback or cancellation and eliminating much of the share structure (not by reverse split). Until these things happen, the stock is stuck and will remain so, no matter how good the news is.
He needs to put a stop to this excess dumping daily to no bid and stop relying so much on toxic financing because it has killed the stock, and continues to do so on a daily basis. He needs to avoid yet another reverse split. If he does another reverse split, there will be absolutely no recovery possible for current shareholders who helped him build this company to where it's at. Those shareholders would haunt this company and stock forever if that was the case, and they would continue to aggressively try to scare anyone away from the company, and rightfully so. He needs to especially look out for those early investors. Regaining value for those investors and showing respect will build confidence for future investors to get involved.
I don't see Kaye or the company as a scam. I see them as a company who has had great ideas which are just coming out of development and growth phases, as we can see with the recent student connect implementation in multiple states. I think this is only the beginning of a great and positive adoption of the technology moving forwards. However, to move forwards with attracting additional investors in the company, Kaye needs to reconcile with current investors who have funded the company and sustained great losses as a result. He needs to regain their shareholder value and not decrease it further.

It works, I just clicked on the link within the article and it plays fine. Must be a plugin issue on your computer...
