Hi gang, just wanted to let you know that I am checking on things on the DKAM board but its good to see my new moderators have everything in line...Thanks RILO and Old Timer!...by the way...that 23000 share buy was me yesterday @ .215c and I am accumulating as we speak. Cheers, Billy
I also like to get a feel, from time to time, all the fellow DKAM'ers that are still with us and the new guys also, so when you read this give us a "Shout Out" just to tell us you still on board with us....and all the "newbees" also! It's always great to just know you guys are still around and supporting the DKAM even if it's just by reading the board. All the Best! Cheers, Billy
Great to hear from you guys and Thank you for all the kind words. As most of you know, I have been with this board from its inception and have tried to help out as much as necessary and I will continue to offer to do so as I get any 1st hand information as it pertains to DKAM....for those that are not familiar with me I own a small Irish pub in Rhode Island and have sold the products of DKAM, so I can give you a real perspective of how the products are doing. Currently I have not posted lately on the updates as DKAM is in the process of lining up with new distributorshiips throughout the United States and no distributor has it currently in their portfolio in the Northeast Area.. Briefly, we were the leading seller of Trump Vodka in Rhode Island and it was doing rather well up until the distributorship problems ocurred, I had many new accounts selling the product and it seemed to be off and running..my customer base continues to ask for the Trump Vodka, in particular, as I have weened them off of the Grey Goose, Beledere, Ketel One, etc. I will keep everyone informed as to the progress of my situations with updates at least once a month...I currently own a large amount of shares, maybe not quite as many as RILO...lol...but none the less, I consider it my retirement money account, so I want to see our "little Diamond in the Rough" start to blossom again! I have 2 great sources of information helping me for information...RILO and Old TImer..they are here to help me as I do not post as frequently as they do...they both are very good people and will give the board a wealth of information and thought. Look forward to hearing from all of you again and lets have a positive experience here on the DKAM board. Cheers, Billy
PS..if anyone wants to Private Message me, please feel free as I will get back to you as soon as I can, you guys can also get me at wwc49@aol.com.....as I know alot of you dont care to post in the open forum format.
PPS....also remember, there are many people that read this board that are not members or do not like to post, I know because I have spoken to many, many of them, so just because only 5 or 6 people are continually posting here doesn't mean that we are alone...trust me, they are out there and they appreciate the good information offered here at this board.
Capt, things have been restored accordingly on the other board. I enjoy both of these boards and would like to keep it that way. There is good information being offered but their is no need for the bickering and it will be deleted. Cheers, Billy
Gang, lets get away from the attacks and bickering...there are many on this board that have been here a long time and do not post but enjoy the good information and thoughts... such as myself...we all know the stock is not currently doing as well as we would like but we need to keep level heads. Cheers, Billy
DKAM...just as a point of interest, I saw the Trump Bottle on 3 different occasions on the Apprentice tonight...not that it matters, but its obvious that Trump wanted that bottle in the scene for a reason....Cheers, Billy
That is one of the problems that we encountered here in the Northeast....Trump Vodka was selling well but there was no advertising to back it up and when the flavors never came, the distributorship dropped it...hopefully now that the flavors are actually produced and now being distributed, we should see one of our distributorships here pick it back up. I emailed Mr. Kenney and recieved no reply which is understandable but wanted to give him a "lowdown" on the product and how it is being recieved by the general public...from a retailer standpoint..even offered to help him promote the product throughout the Rhode Island market as little Rhody is a major test market on new items in the Beverage Industry and it is considered that if it makes it in Rhode Island, it will do well in the rest of the country.... If he has done his research, he already knows that though through his research and development resources....I too only drink the Trump Vodka and believe it is one of the best on the market and still own a large amount of shares of DKAM...if you are in contact with him, don't hesitate to give him my email address wwc49@aol.com and I would be willing to converse with him concerning the introduction of the Trump flavors and other products of DKAM...it can only help! Cheers, Billy
Hello Rilo, nice to see more conversation on the subject of beverages and DKAM in particular...if I can help you guys out...shoot me out an email...I'll continue w/ updates as I have and more "real" information as it occurs. Cheers, Billy
StockJunky....you'd be very surprised how many shares are in the hands of the readers of this board alone! Cheers, Billy
To "read this n0w", I just wanted to commend you on a good job with the "INSM Board"...I am a shareholder of INSM and a moderator on another board but wanted you to know that all the information you furnish each day is greatly appreciated by myself and I am sure all the readers of this board...there are not many posts on this board but I am sure that your readers all look forward to all the "due diligence" that you furnish each day. Thank you.
Hello Coopermun, it's good to see you are still here. I have been here also and post from time to time as people have been asking about sales and such at the bar. I am reading much of the same stuff w/ a new set of characters, unfortunately our PPS has dropped dramatically and it feels as if we are all starting all over again. I stated a few months ago that I would not buy any more shares and average down until we see better representation from management...I believe we are only now seeing that with the hiring of the new marketing firm...I too have purchased more shares in in the .20c-.25c range and feel we are seeing a definite bottoming in this area. As an update, I have sent an email to Patrick Kenney, as not only a shareholder but a retailer of his products, stating my thoughts on both but as of yet, have not heard back from him. I have read from a few of the posters that he is very accessible and easy to talk too. Anyway, it is always good to see ole timers still around, and again, for those who are still here but don't post, but read all these entertaining posts, give us a "shout out" and show your support. Cheers, Billy
StockJunky, I got rid of the big picture of Trump, as it was high time to change the IBOX up a little anyway. For those that have asked me about pictures of my place w/ the Trump bottles, I do have those pics however I am not sure as to how to post them onto the IBOX....if anyone out there in DKAM land knows the process, I would gladly send them out for posting for you guys. Just PM me or send me an email. Cheers, Billy
By the way PKG, your doing a good job moderating...it always gets harder as the stock price and market falls...stay tough and keep up the good work. Cheers, Billy
Thanks for the reply Old Timer. I am still here and hanging tough with everyone in these tough times. Cheers, Billy
Good stuff PKG, nice post! For those "PM"ing me, I am still here and those were not my shares being sold. I am going to stick around a little longer and see how this plays out. Thanks for asking and yes I will keep everyone up to date as to my sales accordingly..good or bad. Cheers and Have a great Holiday! Billy
It's good to see some old timers here still! Tomorrow should be very interesting, I am looking forward to it. It just might be that early Christmas present we are all looking for. Here's to the patience of those that have been with us from the beginning. Cheers, Billy
Hi Coach, I wish I had more information to give to you guys. As stated in my previous post a few weeks back, sales have been very consistent with my other premium vodkas, the Trump flavors have not come out as promised and/or are still being delayed for some reason, sales over all with the distributorship have been "overall ok" as quoted from my salesman for the New England area. I do not have hard numbers but am trying to get those numbers from some of my sources...This week should unfold the complete story for DKAM...I still feel that DKAM has a great future if the numbers are as thought or anywhere close what has been stated by Patrick Kenny. At the current PPS, one would think that it is currently very undervalued but unfortunately no one is willing to take that gamble until after the numbers are released. If they are, this should be the start of another great run as we saw last year. If they are not as stated or close, I am out, will take a huge loss and never look back at this company again, just as I know many others here probably will do the same. I hope Patrick Kenny is a man of his word. Good luck to all of those longs that have stuck it out this long! Cheers, Billy
Hello Gang, Thanks for asking Rilo. I am still here and have read all messages on this board religiously. Unfortunately, everything said on the stock is out there and speaks for itself. That's is why I have not posted in a few months. The company needs to step up to the plate and keeps its shareholders better informed. I know everyone likes to hear about sales at the bar, so here's the update good and bad:
Sales remain consistant for the year, however I have tried to no avail, to get promotional material from the distributor to try and stimulate the sales. It falls on deaf ears. I have asked for the flavors on numerous occasions and have been told that they were coming and were on back order...as of last month my distributorship told me they decided to discontinue the arrival of the flavors due to the slow sales of Trump Vodka. This is not a good sign as my distributorship is the largest in the Northeast region. On a good note, the distributorship told me that they will have plenty of the Trump Vodka on hand for the holidays as they have ordered 300 cases for their warehouse. Now, this doesn't sound like a big number but it is. At least in R.I., there are a select few bars and restaurants that carry Trump and the ones that do sell a decent volume...packages stores are a whole other ballgame. I know it sounds that I am down on DKAM, I am discouraged by the management and how it handles itself with the distributorships throughout the US. If no promotion, then no sales...it sits..and sits..and sits...then the retailers like myself get discouraged and discontinue their sales. I see it all the time. This is my business and I have been doing this a long time and seen it all! I bought DKAM initially at .90c and rode it to over $3.00 w/ many of you and bought all the way down to $1.00 region...I have not and will not buy any more until I see a confirmed upward momentum or bonifide numbers to substantiate the claims of the CEO. Again, I own and like the company, but things need to change. I guess we will see with this next earnings announcement. I sure hope he is a man of his word as I am selling his product. For those of you that are new to the board, I will answer all your emails and private messages as soon as I can, so keep them coming and as usual, it would be nice to hear from all of you old timers still around so the newbies feel like we are all not alone. I realize I am guilty as the rest of you, so post and at very least tell us your still around. Cheers, Billy
Earlylight, Profit is profit...well done however I truely feel it goes higher from here! Cheers, Billy
I have been following FRPT for sometime now and have seen the ups and downs on how this stock is manipulated. These contracts are only the start. The company is definitely setting up to be bought out. It's up we go from here as the selling has subsided...shorties are hating life right about now! Cheers, Billy
Shiznit...well that's a start!..lol...Cheers, Billy
General, you can go to board #504(The Question and Answer Board) that Matt has for any problems. It will answer all your questions. Cheers, Billy
General, you keep using the vulgarity in your posts you'll be deleted every time and by the way, it wasn't PKG. Please play by the rules. Cheers, Billy
RILO787....good post...I was about to reiterate just what you said...you did it for me. Cheers, Billy
I am with you StockJunky. Cheers, Billy
Good Morning Gang,
Could we keep to the subject of DKAM, I understand that their is a chance that the next product DKAM releases might be w/ the involvement of a singer/rapper in the entertainment industry but we don't need 10 posts with you guys telling us about how good rap music is or is not and I understand there is nothing to really to speak about of substance presently. I will have another update on my sales and how my distributor feels the product is selling in the near future. Cheers for now. Billy
Nice to hear from you Jonny! I knew some ole timers were still here. You'd be surprised as to how many are still with us. I'll have another update on my place in a couple days. Cheers, Billy
Swanless3, Well said and agree with you 100%. Cheers, Billy
StockJunky, I know the feeling. I am loaded to the gills also but will find a way to get some on the "Cheap" here as it is way oversold in my opinion...Cheers, Billy
PKG, Welcome aboard...I am playing catch up ball on the board and see that you are our new moderator...if you need any help, shoot me out an email, I have been here since the beginning, fortunately or unfortunately. Cheers, Billy
PS..I'll have another update for everyone next week.
Same deal we have in the Northeast and have had since the inception of the product. This has been known from my posts from day 1. Cheers, Billy
ChrisJP...it's a free bottle on a case...which holds 6 bottles...average cost is approximately $26.25 a bottle for the retailer to buy it from the distributor. Cheers, Billy
ChrisJP, I calculated my cost (w/ the free bottle) to be $26.25. This has not varied from the inception of the product, so I would do your calculation accordingly. This price break has been available to liquor store owners up here also throughout all of the New England region. I was told that they wanted to price it just below the cost level of Grey Goose which is exactly what they did. Hope this helps and get back to us on your calculations? Cheers, Billy
Good dialog gang, here's my scoop on the Trump Vodka. 1st, I have purchased Trump Vodka by the case lot from day 1 and receive 1 bottle free by buying in this quantity. This is a deal that the distributor here in my area has been giving to all retailers also. I have not heard about buy 2 and get 1 free...I tend to believe that you might of misunderstood what he was saying...as far as the taste test...we have done more taste tests than you can shake a stick at and all have said the same thing...Grey Goose and Trump Vodka side by side is very hard to tell the difference...I personally know that drinking the Trump gives me a quicker "buzz", most likely due to the 5x distilled nature of the product...it truely makes one heck of a difference in the potentcy as far as I am concerned...Absolute and Skyy Vodka are premium vodkas and NOT super premium vodkas, Rilo your friend definitely knows his vodkas and is right on track...Absolute and Skyy are not even close to being in the same class as Grey Goose or Trump Vodka...however if Trump sold at the pace an Absolute Vodka sells, we would all definitely be rich owning DKAM! Anyway, keep up the good work gang, and people checking in, make sure and post and tell us your still on board w/ DKAM...any support at this time would be greatly appreciated by all the shareholders of DKAM. Cheers, Billy
Hey Gang, nice to see you guys checking in. Gives a little support to those who might have weak hands especially when there is not much to talk about on the board. Keep them coming and for those that did not read the update, please reference message #13927. Cheers, Billy
Good to hear from you I-B-N...I know for the longs its been tough...our patience will prevail. Cheers, Billy
Hello Gang,
Well it's good to see that we still have a lot of the "old timers" still here. As I have said in previous messages, during the summer, there is not much time for me to post and respond to many of the emails I have recieved concerning my sales at the bar. I remain as strong in DKAM as I did from day 1 and have not sold any of my shares to date, however I have not accumulated either as I see that we have been trading in a pattern from $1.15-$1.35 range for quite some time...I purchased many shares in the $1.20 area and truthfully am overloaded at this point. We are going to definitely know something in the next 30 days w/ the release of the numbers and the potential future earning potential...1st...for those that are not familiar w/ me, I own a small pub outside of Newport, R.I. and have been selling Trump Vodka from its inception....the sales remain constant...meaning for us, approximately 1 case per week...a case contains 6 (1) liter bottles..those of you out there might say this doesn't sound like very much but when a bar on average carries 15-20 different types of vodka, one can assume how hard the and competative the vodka industry really is. We sell 16 different vodkas alone. Our best seller is Absolute..not a premium vodka but a "call" none the less. As far as the high end premium brands we sell, Ketel One, Grey Goose and Trump are all neck and neck. I have continuously called and asked the distributor for more advertising of the product so we might get the word out better but to this point have not recieved any help. The industry is tough...the next best vodka comes down the pipeline and the distributors are offered huge incentives to sell it by the manufacturers and all others are left to sell on its own merit...unfortunately this is how the industry works...as far as Trump vodka is concerned, it truelly does sell itself, once the customer tries the product...again, I repeat, once they try it..they are hooked on the great quality of the vodka....if there is no push or marketing schemes to promote the product, it will sit on the shelf of the tavern and liquor store owner and gather dust, getting those owners disgruntled and finally telling distributors to take the product back and/or discounting the product just to get it off their shelfs unfortunately never to come back...I have promoted Trump Vodka very diligently and turned many Grey Goose and Ketel one drinkers into Trump vodka drinkers on a consistant basis..of course I am doing this with incentive being a share holder in the company but the point is we need help from the manufacturers and follow up from the distributors to get this done...so to answer your questions, YES...Trump is alive and well at my place!...I will say I have spoken to Pat Kenny's daughter on a number of occasions and she has been very helpful with point of sale items to help promote Trump vodka and has stated that many new products concerning Trump Vodka are in the pipeline ie "The Flavors" for the vodka...and is very excited about the future of the company going forward with the many other products that DKAM will have to offer. Growing pains are there with any good company trying to get a foothold in an industry that is extremely competative and cut throat in nature. I think we have a company in DKAM that will remain strong and consistant for future endeavors, in my humble opinion, this I can say with validity cause I am experiencing it 1st hand and deal with its products and hear the feed back everyday. I will say, for the most part, I like what I am hearing. Cheers for now and I will continue to answer all the emails as best I can and get back to everyone with an email as I can..I hope this update helps. Billy
ps. It would be nice again to let everyone know you are still a shareholder, so post here and just say "Hi" and let us know you are still here and reading the posts and a share holder in DKAM!....It goes along way for the new and tired shareholders that are thinking of giving up on their dream. Cheers, Billy
Well, it's has been a while since I last gave an update. I see we have a few new posters and a few disgruntled posters. For those of you that are new to the board, I own a small pub in R.I. and have been selling Trump Vodka since the inception of the product in the Northeast back in early October. Being a bar owner, you can see how I have not had many vacations until recently and have a few small tidbits to report. 1st of all, the bar is continuing to sell Trump vodka at a brisk pace, I have averaged about a case a week of the vodka since I started carrying it. The difference now is that I am not as actively promoting it as much to see if it is selling on its own merits rather than myself self promoting it and giving everyone comp drinks to get them stimulated in it. I am proud to tell you that it has maintained and continues to sell as strong as it ever did. The only thing I see not happening on my end is the follow up advertising and POS material to continue the strong sales. I am being told that it will be arriving very soon along with a few new Trump products as well. Now back to the vaca I recently went on down in Florida. I was based out of Orlando and went to many "highend" restaurants and all carried the product including such names as The Capital Grille, etc. Each bartender I spoke too told me that the product was selling relatively well and they had no plans to discontinue the product any time soon. As far as Disney bars, in Pleasure Island, Trump was not carried. Liquor stores such as ABC carried the Trump Vodka, in all sizes , and the salesman told me in 3 different stores that it was selling OK, however I did not see any POS (Point of Sale) material in any of the stores I went too. I also went to some "off the path" liquor stores on the outskirts of Orlando and the majority of them told me that they HAD carried the Trump Vodka initially but stopped as it was priced to high and was not selling as a direct result of this. To sum things up, I felt the responses were positive however keep in mind that it is a resort area and this can skew the results possibly. As far as my place, I am located on the outskirts of Newport, R.I. , a major resort town, and still sell the product as good as any restaurant in that town. Again it reverts back , IMHO, to the management getting the adverting campaigns going! Once this is established for both the distributors and then the retailers out there, I believe we will carve a definite place in the "Competative World of Vodkas"!...at which time we will be a definite candidate for a buyout not unlike that of a Grey Goose which was sold for billions, not millions but w/ a "B"! Why? The product is that good and not because of the Trump name on the bottle! Guys, I know it has been tough to swallow recent action in this infant stock but I have not wavered and continue to hold the line as the future is bright for this company. I know, cause I am on the firing lines everyday and see the product sell and hear the comments 1st hand. I will continue with the updates in the future. Cheers, Billy
TFN, you out there? How about a chart analysis on DKAM and your thoughts? Thanks for the help. Cheers, Billy
General, if your speaking of DKAM, it needed to fill a gap in that mid $1.30's range which I believe it has...most of your good chartist have told me this and were definitely waiting there. Hence the reason for the slight volume increase today. There is a slight possibility that we might see low $1.30's to fulling fill it but I seriously doubt it, these MM's can only hold this baby back for so long and fill there pockets with those cheap shares...I think we are in for a spring board effect straight to $2.00 and then well beyond as they start the listing for the AMEX which requires a minimum $2.00 requirement. For those that have been emailing me, I will have another update in the next week or so, at which time I will have my numbers on the sales for month's end at the pub. Get your shares cheap here, as I really do not think they are going to last much longer at these prices...Cheers, Billy
