Good morning fellow DUSSers. I'll say that even though it's 5:35pm out here but for most every sane person it's morning time!
GO DUSS!
There are those that are overly enthusiastic and hope that if they say enough positive things that others will join in and the PPS will suddenly go "to da moon!" I don't fault them for their enthusiasm as long as it is genuine and not just brash pumping as that can actually scare potential investors away.
Realists understand that it can take patience and you have to get in at the right time and then get out at the right time to maximize your profit with PINKs. This one though I am sitting on as its long term potential is just too enticing to pass up and I hope that you seize the opportunity to join DUSS again in the future. This isn't a quick pump and dump though so you might want to throw a little in now while the price is as low as it is. I just picked up another 53K for 0039. Sweet! Sorry just saw that while I was typing here.
DUSS has real potential and the DD displays it. There are some things still up in the air which are the big pieces that can really surge DUSS forward but even if DUSS doesn't get a US channel for its Reality Show which I highly doubt it won't, it will still be more profitable then the PPS is showing now.
Good luck and hope to see you back in the game here soon!
GO DUSS!
Negative. I haven't put anything up yet. Just watching to see what the big boys try and do first.
I agree that it's primed to run Blue but I don't see anything happening as far as a hard spike unless a strong PR comes out. Twitter and Facebook messages just aren't going to do it IMHO. We may still creep up at a slower pace in anticipation of news coming but don't see us going turbo to pennyland without hard news. Hope I'm wrong though!
I do have a strange feeling that the 1st week of November will be when the next bit of good news may come our way. I have nothing to back this up though, just intuition. Would be nice if my intuition was off though and news came before then!
GO DUSS!
Mornin' Blue. I may buy a few hundred K more today. I'll be watching closely. I don't care if I pay a little more later if momo takes DUSS today as the price will still be way less than it will be a few months from now.
GO DUSS!
I agree stushy that DUSS has SCARY written all over it when it comes to how successful it can be with the foundation that Jason and Mashiah have built. That "other" company that I refer to in my stickied post does have celebrity connections but no reality show and it went from 88 cents to $10 a share in less than 18 months and double that in another year. The reality show can act as an accelerator to this level of success due to Jason and Mashiah being in constant view of the public with what they are trying to do in their actual lives. This in and of itself can make Dussault Apparel a successful brand in a very short time. As many DUSSers here know, never underestimate the power of Reality TV.
In fact, here’s a new one:
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/gossip/2010/10/lauren-conrad-new-tv-show-teen-vogue.html
Lauren Conrad on her new MTV reality show, clothing line recently announced MTV series will follow Conrad as she embarks on building her brand and collections, but we had to wonder -- is she afraid of going back to the oft-dramatic territory of reality TV after leaving "The Hills" and its drama behind?
And another:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/18/bar-refaeli-scouted_n_1017559.html
Does TV really need another reality show about modeling? Wasn't 1,000 cycles of "America's Next Top Model" enough? Nope, says E! Our lives will not be complete without "Scouted," a reality show connected with New York modeling agency One Management, founded by Scott Lipps. One Management has famously shaped the careers of stunners such as Claudia Schiffer, Eva Herzigova and Angela Lindvall. But the New York Post reports that a newer face will be showing up to the office on "Scouted": Bar Refaeli. Those aspiring models, writes Vulture, will come from small towns, "where new talent is discovered, to burger joints and department stores where the next supermodel might just be working behind a counter," said E! programming chief Lisa Berger. Scouts will head to Richmond, Houston, San Francisco and Salt Lake City to find would-be Bar Refaelis, bringing them back to NYC to receive guidance from the one who already made it.
Seems like right now the fashion industry and its models are the hot topic in reality. Is there room for Dussault Inc? Absolutely! Simply because the storyline is more edgy and compeling and celebrities will appear in it in a regualr basis just because of their association and friendship with Jason and Mashiah.
GO DUSS!
I have to admit Odessa99 that I am not a Reality TV junkie but my wife sure as hell is. I do enjoy a few like Survivor and Big Brother due to the head games involved in the shows which goes along with what I did in the Military for over 20 years as Behavior Symptoms Analysis I find quite interesting/entertaining and have been well trained in understanding it. I do observe my wife and what see likes though. America’s Next Top Model and Project Runway are two of her favorites.
Hey I’ve got an idea! Let’s find a show that’s like a hybrid of these two. One that deals in fashion somehow and we can throw a model in there somewhere with it. It has to be edgy though. It would be a bonus if this show had a more “feel good” storyline to it as well because there are too many storylines out there where it just pits people against each other so a Reality show that pits people against the odds will give the audience more to root for!
If you come across anything like this let me know as it might have a good chance of succeeding considering how successful these other two Reality shows have become. Let me know what you find ;)
Oh yeah..and GO DUSS!
ALL IN BABY!
I appreciate the information 3 The Intimidator and I agree that the vast majority of PINKies (999 out of a 1000) are there for "trading" as you say.
We ALL know the risks involved with trading here. But IMHO the only time you are actually INVESTING in a stock is if that stock pays dividends. I don't care what market you're "playing". If you buy shares for the sole purpose of selling them later for a profit that is called trading and with comes the inherent risk of the stock depreciating as well.
They call PINKs the "Speculative Trading Marketplace" for a reason and there is a lot of speculation that has to go into one's DD when you are playing PINKs. Analysis in and of itself is bred from facts and sometimes has to be mixed with speculation and assumptions to provide equations that give potential courses of action in which to take or not take. My analysis tells me that DUSS has a good chance of succeeding "speculatively speaking" of course.
In the case of DUSS, the biggest speculative piece here is the Reality show and its future affect on the success of Dussault Apparel. That speculation is also driven by whether the show gets picked up by a US channel and is broadcast in the US as this improves DUSS's chances ten-fold just by population mathematics. When looking at the DD here, I thing the chances of this happening are very good.
Not all PINKies are bad though. There are some highly reputable companies in the PINKs such as Volkswagen AG. These are the same guys that make Bentley, Bugatti and Lamborghini (for you LivinLarge 8!) as well as Volkswagens. A few others you may know are BASF SE and Bayer AG. So they are not ALL bad. There are a minute amount of diamonds in the rough that can be found that have the potential to pay big down the road and some do. These are very difficult to find and to me and my fellow DUSSers, we think we’ve found one.
I really appreciate your feedback though but I and everyone here should understand the risks that we are taking. We may not get rich on DUSS but that depends on each peep’s definition of rich. I don't need DUSS to go to a dollar to be happy here as 05 will be just fine, but I am hoping for me and the rest of my DUSS family here that it does go to a buck and more. DD along with market niche speculation gives DUSS a great chance of getting there, especially since it has been there before.
My best way to explain my position with DUSS is through the game of No Limit Texas Hold ‘em as I'm a poker player and I understand and calculate odds when playing so I understand the risk vs reward in every hand that I'm in. DUSS to me is like having pocket rockets in the Big Blind with two raises in front of me already. I have no idea what the flop, turn and river are going to bring which means I can still lose the hand in the end but the odds are largely in my favor pre-flop. You don't gamble with more than you can afford to lose. That is the same philosophy you must have when playing the PINKs. Using the poker analogy and this scenario, there is only one play for me....
I’M ALL IN BABY!
GO DUSS!
Thanks. Chat with you and all the fellow DUSSers tomorrow.
No. I actually shut down for the day. Got 200K more today and will look to get some more tomorrow. Already 10pm in Afghanistan so gotta get some sleep. Look forward to waking up to good things! Go DUSS!
41 came up while I was putting in my order. Didn't mean to drive the price back down. I may pull the rest back if it doesn't go through soon
Let's see what they do with a 450K buy at 004 to get us over a million for the day.
Time to mix things up. Watch LAFC go bye bye!
LAFC is me and you might see it go away in a few if it doesn't get filled.
Haven't bought yet. Still watching
I have all of my shares set to sell for $5 right now and that might be too low in a year!
Once in a lifetime on this one brother. Wouldn't miss it!
GO DUSS!
Thanks for the info tob999. I don't have private messaging but may look to upgrade soon. K2
No I'm not Doxen. No worries. I already have plenty of shares. If I don't add any more I will be just fine. I will get some though. You see, games just started. Almost time for me to start playing too. Down to 0037.
If they run this then I'll let it run but if they start to pull it back then I will look at coming in to play.
I've got some cash waiting in the wings right now. Want to see how the first hour or two pan out and then I will be buying half a million or so shares. Don't normally like to purchase early. Always like to wait to see what the MMs are up to first.
That's how we work together. Try to bring out as much discussion as possible for us all to iclude in improving our DD on DUSS. Of course everything I wrote is specualtion and opinion but that is part of painting a picture of which way to go with a PINKie anyway as the only way to make big money is to get into a PINKies when it is at a lower PPS.
We need both positive and negative participants alike as that helps drive the debates and conversations. I have heard the saying "if it's too good to be true than it probably is" too many times in my life, and the statement is true for the most part. There is always exceptions to rules and enigmas to the norms. I think that we have found one here!
Although these are all risks, a great man by the name of Robert F. Kennedy once said
"Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly."
GO DUSS!
That's what I'm talking about! GO DUSS!
I see your here too dadx4 and looking to get some more teqluila too. LMAO! I've been in SFIO for much longer than DUS* and I hope that SFIO gets unlocked as this could really run. It's hard to gauge what the potential of SFIO is while this lock is on and with everything that has happened in the past but the product is sound and a patent (or two) going with it gives it a great chance to succeed in the fast growing e-cig market.
Big tobacco isn't going to just sit by and let this happen eityher. They may be talking about developing other nicotine deliery devices but with the strong consumer feedback on ecigs about the comfort of the device BECAUSE it acts and feels like a REAL cigarette will keep ecigs ahead of any other nicontie delivery gimmick big tobacco tries to market,
SFIO beign the only vaporless ecig puts it in a class of its own too so this defintely has potential but this needs to get unlocked so investors can help fuel SFIO's potenital. GLTA!
SFIO!
Thanks woody2436. I am retired now and on the sidelines now as a contractor but still supporting our brave troops out here as they continue to get the job done. Comfort is what you make of it. After 21 years in and multiple deployement dating back to Desert Shield/Desert Storm I have learned to "Embrace the Suck" and make the best of any situation. The bad part about being here is the time away from my beautiful wife, kids and now grandkids but I will be getting a lot more time at home soon. GLTY and all DUSSers!
Funny you say that risk on as that just what I do and have for for the last 23 years. Some say that Military Intelligence is an oxymoron and I do find that quite funny and use it myself at times but we have some pretty sharp people over here doing some great work. I am just on the support side now after retiring 2 years ago. PINKies are my amusement here but DUSS has become much more than that as this could be one of those once in a lifetime stocks. Thanks for the support and GO DUSS!
I reposted my post minus the paragraph tob999 so you can sticky it. I don't subscribe to the PR so I couldn;t send this message that way. K2
I have been following DUSS for a while now from out here in Afghanistan and mostly just read iHUB as it provides me some amusement of which there is not a lot of here. I’m just putting in my two cents worth over everything that I have observed from afar and how DUSS looks from my side. These are just observations and opinions so please just take them as such.
I feel quite lucky to have “stumbled” upon this stock and have loaded up pretty well in the gamble that DUSS will succeed. Now don’t go after me now because I said this as this is a PINK and they are all gambles, some just give way better odds and those odds are determined by us and how good our own DD is. I’m not saying DUSS WILL succeed because I am not a professional prognosticator. I do however have a lot of confidence in DUSS though and I think this stock has more looooooong term potential than any I have seen in quite a while. The DD is almost scary as to how good this stock can be if you take into consideration other speculative measures. Our best comparison to look at which a few DUSSers have pointed out in the past is another premium clothing line we will just call “TR”. I won’t use the name here but anyone that knows anything here can figure out who I am talking about. Let’s revisit this comparison for “possible” future growth by DUSS:
TR is a premium clothing line. Dussault Apparel was just an ultra premium line but now has premium line products as well.
TR- established in December of 2002. In the winter of 2002, they debut their denim products from their Los Angeles base. The flagship store is located in Manhattan Beach, California, and was their first retail store, opening in late 2005. Their jeans can cost between $172 and $363, with the majority ranging between $250–$300 USD. TR went public in 2003. 1 August 2003 their stock sold for 88 Cents a share. In February of 2005 their stock went over $10 a share. This took about 18 months to accomplish. 11 Months later they broke $20 a share. Broke $30 a share in September 2008 before the economic downturn hit them as well and they fell to a little over $8 a share by March of 2009. Friday they closed at over $31 a share.
DUSS-Jason also had his store in the LA area a few years ago when he was selling his ultra high-end clothing line. Then the economic downturn hit (check out the big three boards in 2008/09 and see how far it actually tanked if you haven’t done so already) and Jason and Mashiah had to close their doors and headed back to the great white north (hello my Canadian neighbors!). Just bad timing in my book for what Jason was producing and trying to sell at the time of the downturn in the economy. Jason re-analyzed his position and figured out that he needed to make adjustments to his apparel line in order to be successful in continuing to pursue his dream. Please welcome the Deuce brand of clothing apparel. If you look back up to the TR prices above, you might see a cost comparison between the two lines. One is successful already and the other has the potential to become a huge competitor.
TR-is now recognized for T-shirts, western-styled shirts, sweatshirts and sweatpants all containing the western vintage feel. Just a few years ago the company started licensing the brand out to branch into new products such as footwear, headwear, handbags, swimwear, eyewear, and fragrance.
DUSS-already producing most of these products with sunglasses coming out in November and Mashiah carrying her Open Sundaes line under DUSS.
TR- They have around 900 branded boutiques and specialty stores in 50 countries on six continents. TR can also be purchased from such high-end department stores as Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Dillard's, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Macy's. Their stock has increased 55% since 2007 (that includes the crash to 8 bucks a share in 08).
DUSS-???? We don’t know how this is going to go yet and this is where the speculation comes in, but if TR can do what they accomplished then it's possible that DUSS can at least be 25-50% as successful. I'll settle for that but I am rooting for DUSS to become THE STYLE and with all of the potential upside, I feel my odds of winning big here are better than most bets I’ve made in life. In fact, I optimistically expect this bet (investment for those that prefer this word) will become the best I’ve ever made when it is all said and done. Anything can happen but 2012 looks to be huge for DUSS.
Am I predicting that DUSS will have the same fast upswing/growth as this “other” company did? No. Am I opining that DUSS could have the same success long term that TR has had? Absolutely! Why? REALITY TV AND CELEBRITY CONNECTIONS TO THE BRAND! The power of Reality TV in the US market cannot be underestimated. If this hits the US market it will definitely be huge for the brand as sales will skyrocket. If sales increase so will profits which will be reflected in their Qs and the PPS will rise with further growing interest. TR has had celebrity connections from the beginning but not a Reality TV show which acts as free publicity for the brand.
Will Dussault Inc Reality TV make it to the US? Reality TV is the “in thing” now as it is much less expensive to the producers and marketing of products to pay for the show can be scripted right into the show making it even more profitable. Considering how far they are trying to take Reality with some of the ridiculous shows that are out there now (I’m not pro or anti Reality) Dussault Inc has a very good storyline and fits into some of the more popular Reality show genre out there right now, plus it already has star power behind it (celebrity friends and business partners) so I would personally be blindsided if it isn’t at least tried in the US. I wouldn't be surprised if the US started off with the 2nd season and not the first since that storyline is more current. Just conjecture though.
Where I don’t agree fully with some here is with these Tweets and FB statements and the belief that these should/will have some instant affects on the DUSS stock. It’s not that these are bad in any way (good news is always good) but we need some serious investors with cash and I don’t think we will find them following Mashiah and Jason on their Twitter accounts. You will attract them with PRs through investment channels where people with money are looking for the next big thing. I think that FB and these tweets are helping us to better put together a picture of where DUSS is right now and what our investment future looks like with DUSS but I really don’t expect to see any spikes or runs in DUSS because Jason or Mashiah tweet some news. If the news is big enough, I would expect that they will put it in a PR as any serious CEO would do. I love seeing the info on iHUB though as it helps my personal DD moving forward but I just don’t see a whale seeing a tweet and going nuts buying a gazillion DUSS shares. It may affect smaller investors like me though to maybe throw a few grand in so it could end up having a more cumulative effect on PPS long term.
Mashiah’s site is delayed once again, however if it does actually launch in 14 days then it would make sense because it will be during the Vancouver Fashion Week. Maybe she will actually open her site at the Fashion Show as a display? Just more interesting speculation.
I am very PRO DUSS, and am excited about the possibilities here. I normally flip PINKies but there are a few that I see as better fitted for long term potential and DUSS definitely fits that bill. Being “Long” is subjective as well. A couple of months in a PINK can be considered long to some. But for me, if DUSS is successful, I expect to own shares for possibly years. It really depends on how it evolves. To each his (or her) own.
Don’t expect me to “slap that ask” though as that isn’t going to happen with me. I will continue to purchase shares at the lowest price I can and not waste my money “slapping an ask” that an MM is going to take back down 2 seconds later. When everything comes together at the right time, DUSS will run on its own merit. Let’s just try to concentrate on DUSS and stay away from the 5th grade playground jabs at each other. Keep it real ya’ll! GLTA! GO DUSS!!!
Thanks dadx4. I am a civilain out here now as I retired from service in 2009. I see your iHUB name and I think it's funny when I could actually change mine to Grampsx4! My first and last name start with K hence and I normally go by K2 but KDEUCE is more fitting for this stock anyway. GO DUSS!
Got me another 405K and already locked it up for sale at over a buck so they're not playing with any of my shares.
Count me in
Once purchased though all shares need to be locked up in a sell order of a higher amount so the MMs cannot use those shares to trade back and forth so if you purchased more then lock them up. All mine are locked at a $1 +
Greetings from Afghanistan DUSSers! Today (tonight for me) should be an awesome bounce. Consolidated tightly now.
Ditto to u as well!
So your in HFBG too huh? I'm spending more time over at DU** right now but still watching the board and sitting on my shares here as well.
Just an FYI as well GEM. I got your PM yesterday but do not have PM myself so I wasn't ignoring you. Everything is good out here in AF. TGIF for DUSS!
Good one GEM! I'll keep working it out here. Thanks. K2
I am putting the word out but unsure of who has jumped on board yet. Getting it out there though!
Close of trading comes a little too late for me but I am watching at least through lunch and then I just go to sleep to wake up and see what power hour did to the stock.
Mine are all set over a buck so they ain't playing with mine!
