Hey Steel, did you go to LA or are going to? sorry but I've been away and was wondering about your visit to Brav ....
Pandora, we might hear something about Elite on the conf call ... that and uplisting are absolutely KEY in my book ..... Go Brav
Steel, could please ask about the Bravada Elite status? I've been calling but didn't get a straight answer. IMO, this is important to me as I see Bravada consolidating the business in two main venues: Dollar Fashion (tops, jeggings, leggings, swimwear, etc)and High-end Activewear (Vata, Bia Brasil, etc).
If we want to compete with the big boys (Lulu, Add, Nk, UA)in the athletica business is obvious that we need our own branded products - no other way around it. Otherwise, Brav focus is on retail, which comes in a different category - not saying this is bad IMO, but it is definitely different and I would really like to know for future share holding plans.
Thanks in advance!!
Next week we'll start the countdown to Q2 fins ... should get very interesting if we get them before EOM with a stable OS!!
With today's PR, IMO, seems like DA is getting his act together with his shareholders ... And why not have some fun $$$ while getting back to the pennies - where it all started!!
Someone who has been here long enough ....
AS / OS Anyone???
There are new outfits at onlyleegings called "Be Happy" .... that might lift the feeling around here .... or Not?
oh well, there is always beer, or more like tequila in this case ....
True; I missed that. It normally takes 2 weeks after posting to get the letter. Seems like it is taking longer this time. Might be related to the new internal accounting practice - but what do I know. Thanks!
Does anyone has any idea why Bravada is "Yield - Limited Information" in OTC? The financials are there; what's missing??
AS/OS anyone?
Totally agree Lev; I'm still holding my initial count and been growing my participation. I did not considered this company as a Pinky, and that is exactly my problem. DA has proved to be learning how to build a business; I honeslty thought he already knew what he was talking about. Yes, he's learning fast and correcting mistakes; and yes, Brav is in a much better position than before. But for us LONGS, it meant to see the PPS tank to the ground slowly but surely thorugh more than a year now. Its been very hard for me to wait for the bottom and then see growth from there - we don't even know where that is. It would be a lot easier to swallow if we had a reasonable OS - compared to our entry level; but we are far from where we started - much heavier ship to lift. Don't want to lose money though; it just requires very thick skin if you been here this long. I insist, a great starting point for new investors, and those who played this right in the ups and downs.
Thanks for the reply Lev.
We said exactly the same thing a few years ago "we most probably will never see .01s again!!"
WE ARE IN THE .001s
Overpromise did hurt, late fins sicken, dilution at .00s killed.
IMO this will required much more than a good Q to rise. Its a confidence issue, not a financial/revenue problem. Getting to this point (revenue) in 1 year is a great thing, but again, in my case, I feel totally screwed by the plans presented and the execution delivered. Then two late fins in a row; and then to really fk me up, a massive increase in AS, and more dilution in 00s. At this point, it takes 10 million shares to fund the company with a mere $20K (+/-) .... WAIT AND GROW WHAT YOU HAVE, BE ON TIME, SHOW US SOME CONSIDERATION, INCREASE THE PPS, AND THEN, FUND FOR EXPANSION PLANS.
Sorry guys, I'm so tired of this BS.
I like to Booty Shapewear in OnlyLeggings.com jajajaja site looking good!
Hey LunaT, I enjoyed your post; but of course, it is a personal POV. If I may, let me give a different perspective. Bravada is selling active wear, I normally try my wear in the store and then buy. After that, knowing how they fit, I go ahead and hit the website for later purchases. I also buy through websites directly and after a few rounds (returns) I know what fits. So, the combination of stores and webs seems ideal to me.
IMO, DA has been experimenting with our money/investment for a few years now; that I hate as I'm in red but was my decision when buying shares. The good news (to me) is that we have a business plan established, that started a year ago (or so) and its been growing. We're close to profit considering a trend and the fins from last Q. The downside is what's been needed to get there (dilution); so to end this post, I believe Brav is at a great start point for new investors. At least I sincerely wish I got in today and not almost 3 years ago. I would be in the 10M group if that was the case. So I wait and keep positive about my initial estimate as long as we're growing revenue - keeping the freaking float under control.
Hey Danny - in case you read this. One thing is to change business strategy, which I supported even if it cost us money, but one very different is to change your business values. You made it really clear back then when Muscle Flex, that dilution was the one thing you were going to look very careful into to protect the shareholders. It was written in your website as part of your values; when the AS was 300M.
You didn't even considered letting us know what the plan is; just pulled MILLIONS AND MILLIONS into it, just like any other careless egocentric Pinky CEO. IMO you'll just get traders and flippers to surround BRAV. Sophisticated Investors? sure, specially while you run this company with no regard for anything but your obsession for success. You want to do this alone, fine, be my guest.
My fault for trusting you - I missed so many opportunities to flip this thing but decided to hold and support the share value with some other long-Brav holders - while you, AND ONLY YOU, dilute BRAV to the ground.
Can anyone tell me if I can even report a loss on this thing?????
Or not even that.... what a joke!!
Me too,just keep the AS/OS as is and we'll make some $$$$$ sooner than we expect ......
1.2M Mkt Cap with a conservative revenue projection (of my own - based on DA comments))of 600K for 2011 (based on: Q1:65, Q2:120, Q3:200, Q4:250). Summer is comming (Q3), then Christmas (Q4). Who in their right mind is selling at $.0023???? I say this because I just got another 400K at .0022 and .0023 .... WOW, I can't figure this out
ALL IMO!!
According to Alexa.com web traffic in the last 3 months has increased 1700% at onlylegings.com and 270% at Bravadawomen.com .....
What pump? IMO and correct me if I'm wrong, but with the projected Q2 rev (90-125K) this could be a $450K rev for 2011 (and being conservative) so with a 20 time OS ratio this should be trading at around 10M mkt cap = around 2.5 cents .... talking about cheapies!
ALL IMO
From Bravada website:
Grand Opening Celebration Coming in April !!
The Grand Opening Party for the BRAVADA Melrose store has been reschedule to early April 2011 as a number of key guests could not attend a March 10 celebration. BRAVADA will be providing additional information with regards to its opening celebration but in the meanwhile, come on down and visit the Melrose store and see some of the great new women's activewear and fashion sport apparel at the BRAVADA Women's Athletica Melrose store!!
I called the store a couple of weeks ago asking about the private label. They told me that they were available at the store only, and that this new line wouldn't be available in the website until they receive a big shipment; which according to the lady on the phone could happen in 2-4 weeks. That was 2 weeks ago.
I've been doing some research; I identified three "Brazilian" brands Bravada is carrying, not sure what other brands we carry: Bia Brazil, Gloss Army, and Vata Brasil. I have no idea who will be providing the private label for Bravada; still, these brands carry some fancy stuff. IMO any of these would be great options!!. I guess we will eventually find out.
You can take a look at some of their stuff in: www.bodybybrazil.com
www.sandiegofit.com
www.glossarmy.com (Bravada appears as a place to buy)
www.vivaosol.com (similar concept store in CA as Bravada)
Why would Brav submit the Notification in the first place?; have not done this before. After all, is a Pink Sheet isn't it? is it only to maintain the "pink sheet current" status?
Would like to know that....
Good reminder for Bravadians ..."sooner or later earnings make or break an investment in equities. What the stock price does today, tomorrow, or next week is only a distraction". (Peter Lynch - One Up on Wall Street)
There are several pictures of the new store inside at BravadaLtd.com
Rob's out - I'm out - freaking waste of time this board has become
To the usual longs, thanks for everything, I still look forward for that reunion in the future. My bests
Agree, too much hype for the content - and I'm upset about this, BUT, this might be played in a sequence of announcements - where the jumpers move-on and the keepers ride the lift ... IMO of course ... I guess we should've known better
LOL... amazing how people were expecting a sudden lottery win hahaha this is a new company growing and indeed; this is a huge for future growth. Financial around the corner, then the new store opening with Elite line ... good luck to you in some other super pinky hahaha
Gee Beachguy, I considered you the yang of the ying, but you are loosing your touch - how many banks are gone? so we should not invest in any? come on!! you know is about the offering and Bravada is offering a different approach, which I can't find in the malls today; at least not in this area (southern california).... or please tell me who is to take a look .....
Those were vaild points 4 months ago!!! are you guys really reading what's going on??? we've been in BUSINESS for 6+ months and the revenues have been growing since ... the question was if the business strategy was in the right direction .... it has been about the results .... who's not seeeing that!!
Hey Savy, you are so tired huh? How about the revenues from the 1st store/webpage from the 4thQ, how about the better-than-expected revenues from January 2011, how about that compared to the hopes and dreams of KK back then? ... mmmmm now a second store about to open and a planned superstore mmmm yep, I'm tired jajajaja
If you are a long, we're looking for the .20 investment from grassroots (remember?)... we've been through ALL kinds of news but this time, having finally a true direction and strong baseline, should be what we've been waiting for.
I've been paid off with what this company has become!!!
Check this out...

You can't achieve a functional site like Bravada with the ordering, inventory, and logistics systems with a rookie ... been there, done that. This type of webs are expensive and complicated so having our CEO with those skills alone is of HUGE value ... not sure why we can't see that!
Only Leggings website looks a lot better today ... its now organized in styles ... much easier to navigate. I looked at plenty of online stores with leggings and ours is the one with most offerings .... great job DA
Yin Yang Lion
I mean, we are going into January with record sales from Q4 and a 2nd store announcement.... these 2-3s are my Santa Claus present!!!
I'm not filled yet ... need a few more, come on naysayers sell sell
Don't care while loading cheapies ... congratulations are still applicable :)
Have you tried the LookBook in the website? you can make it full screen and looks super cool ... look like one of those apple apps ...
This time I agree. I'm no stranger with buyouts. It is not the time; far from it. Have 20 profitable stores and growing and it might be a candidate. There is no technology/patents being developed; this is a brand in the making - based on active clothing look and feel. With huge potential as it is building in a hot market with a smart guy doing so.
We'll see, Mel B's job is to deliver the looks portion of the business. The exposure will only serve the purpose if the product delivers also in the feel. And it seems to be the case as the main product is already established (Vata). There are new lines in the making - I'm sure they are no stranger to the intended use, but it needs to be offered before making any conclusions.
I'm a long; I'm expecting great results as Danny is proven to know this business. But it is not just about talent; the brand needs to stick and at first stance it is; but I believe it is still early to make that assessment as this is a NEW company.
Cheers everyone
2.2mm here
