It can go either way. Reverse splits can be positive...when they are strategically done and there is not significant dilution following the reverse split. When done this way, they are great at making the pps more attractive for investors who do not buy subpenny or penny, halts a lot of the flipping for a couple ticks that always kill runs (flipping in dollar range is way less attractive to most penny traders), and limits MM manipulation. For example, MSL* was stuck in subpenny around .006 and couldn't budge because of constant flipping, MM manipulation, and had a dramatically worse issue with dilution and share structure, much worse than FITX. This was despite massive (but not profitable) revenues. They did a RS last year and post split price has continued to only rise and never fell below pre-split levels, despite them diluting further post-split (post split was little under $4 and currently floating around $9, almost hit $14 couple months ago). Smartest thing they ever did, and most of my shares there remain deep in the green thanks to the split because I loaded sub penny when arms were flailing and the "ship was sinking" as rumors of a reverse split were rampant there. The mention of reverse split on this board is only rumor and speculation at this point. There is no truth to it currently. To be honest, I'd be ok with a RS if done as I outlined, although I always prefer naturally organic upward movement in the pps without the need for a split, but sometimes you gotta bust a stock out of gutter trading territory. Based on organic movement the last week and this week, hopefully those trends will continue back up naturally. We previously were sitting at .0011 last year also, so these levels are not new, and then we popped to almost .04, so it's entirely possible to see it take off again...especially with the monumental distribution progress Bill and company have made over the last year, and the factors in the works, including entrance into the medical marijuana sector. With the right news, we all know the many medical marijuana stocks that went from triple zeros to close to a buck (some much more), without even having an actual product in the marketplace. Share structure at this point doesn't mean much in penny land. Many of the enormous spikes in stock pps have been in stocks with much larger share structures, and we all know these stocks move on momentum more often than logic and financials down in penny land...
FITX
There are no current plans for a reverse split. Not sure why some people here are misleading others to think that it is current plans. Please stick to the facts everyone...
FITX
Bill's doing a phenomenal job at growth as he has always stated was his goal. That takes dilution whether you like it or not. Not sure how that isn't evident to you, seeing that we are selling products in the biggest distribution channels now, including the Meccas of bb.com and Europa. Losing him as CEO would be detrimental to the company, and a major loss. His vision is solid and every move he's made has been for the long term goals of the company, which I feel has been carried out strategically and skillfully.
FITX
Of course you disagree. Never closed in trips. Touched .0009 once briefly, but never closed there. That's what counts, so actually, 100% wrong. You're fighting a losing battle unfortunately.
FITX
Lots of eyes on this with the promo-less continued organic push back up. This chart is screaming explosion....
FITX
Great analysis, thanks...
FITX
I'm loving this organic daily slow creep through the green back into more appropriate pps levels every day (anything subpenny is ridiculously low and way undervalued). Very nice candeling going on for the chartists...
FITX
Chart is looking beautiful. Holding for multi pennies, no thoughts of selling a share before that...

Try the banana cream Combat Powder. It'll blow your mind maaaaaan....

It's very evident, but only when your eyes are open to see it...
FITX
Yep, like a broken record playing the same bad song. He needs to be taken out. His illegal boxing of the pps has been suggested...
FITX
Haven't deleted 1 post boss. Feel free to check in to that. Admin tends to remove posts such as those when one poster calls another stupid. I'm thinking that may be a more likely scenario...
MSLP
7 years? I got in here 2011, so recheck your math again. And again. Started with only a small fraction of shares, couple hundred bucks to feel things out for awhile. Majority of the 37G I eventually spent here was as arms were flailng and the ship was sinking throughout subpenny pre-RS. Smartest thing I ever did based on where we are post-RS. So I'm very happy with the outcome of my purchasing. By the way, anyone that makes their buying and selling decisions based on message board rambling such as this really deserves and should expect to lose money. Learn to take a joke bud. No need to overcompensate for any sense of insecurities to the point of being offensive. I consider us all friends here, including you.
MSLP
I'll admit that I laughed out loud there...
MSLP
Nice info, thanks! Was thinking it was likely being blown way out of proportion, as everything usually is here...
MSLP
Problem is the impatient weak hands selling to them to keep their strategy going, along with the lowball bid sitters...
FITX
Great news and great end of day movement. Wow.
SKTO
This thing has been plagued with flippers for quite awhile. That's why we need to move this back to the cents. Hold long and strong boys. Don't sell the MMs your cheap shares because the cycle will only continue...
FITX
Smart man. This company will be taking a lot of the naysayers by surprise. Mark this post. Anything anywhere subpenny is a giveaway in the long run IMO...
FITX
I recall that announcement, but I remember it happening last year. We discussed it a lot at the time and it caused a spike back then. I didn't see a date on the info you posted regarding the line of credit. Are you sure you have the right dates on that?
FITX
That's what I hate about subpenny territory. The lower the pps, the higher the impatience to sell for a couple ticks lunch money, and any potential run gets stunted as a result. MM's play a huge role in holding back stocks down here too for their own flipping benefit. That's what a RS is for, and I'd be more than fine with it as long as no significant additional dilution followed. That's the only way MSL* broke out of the same subpenny rut they couldn't get out of when they were floating around .006 up until 2012 despite massive millions of revenues. PPS hasn't looked back since their RS. Having a pps in high cents or dollars scatters the low ball traders, flippers and MMs that continually kill any run. Having a high pps is much less attractive to them...
FITX
You do realize that as of most recent financials, MSL* has still not achieved cash flow positive profitable status, correct? Up to this point they have remained with much more debt than FITX. With that said, I believe that status will change soon, probably come next financials, but just sayin...
FITX
Plus their marketing guy involved in MSL*'s marketing explosion was Leonard Armenta, who is now on our FITX team. Crazy upside potential and future IMO. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of MSL* as well and have been in there since early 2011 and in their subpenny days. Current price there is partly due to a reverse split. However, post reverse split was around $4 and it has continually increased from there to current pps...
FITX
Any idea what's going on? Heard any rumors? Looks like something is brewing...
PMBS
Yeah, that would be the smartest and best thing they could do to restore faith and confidence in the company, management, and stock to start increasing stock value and pps...
FITX
Slowly but surely boys, slowly but surely. Patience should pay off nicely here in the long run as they continue to roll out their products on bodybuilding.com one by one. Having these products on bodybuilding.com, the largest online supplement distributor where the majority of people shop, is a huge step. Some people say GNC placement would be the biggest win for the company. I disagree, I see bodybuilding.com as a much bigger win. Most people that buy supplements buy them online, and research shows this. GNC placement will be cool to have when it happens, but I could take it or leave it. Everyone knows GNC is overpriced, much of that pricing comes from the fact that they have so many brick-and-mortar stores to keep up. In addition, the bodybuilding.com community and forums are huge for product movement, popularity, and recognition. GNC does not have this factor either...
FITX
Exactly. That's the problem in subpenny. People kill momentum every time flipping for a couple ticks and pocket change. If everyone had our same mindset, they'd make much more than lunch money. Very annoying...
FITX
Are you upset that the pps hasn't dropped like you expected yet? It's ok man, take a deep breath.
MSLP
Exactly. MSLP still does it at similar pricing, as do most of the supplement companies. Pricing is the same as it always has been...
FITX
I'm surprised the pps has been slowly rebounding back up despite all the arm-flailing drama. Have you ever read the forward looking statements at the end of those PRs? Virtually protects from plans going completely opposite of anything they say will happen, including past predictions of being cash flow positive prematurely. It certainly won't protect if there has truly been illegal activity, but for the most part basically says the risk of investing is all on you, no matter what changes or transpires, or what they actually do, regardless of what they say. It gives them plenty of wiggle room against most of the complaints that we've had here unfortunately. Read it here if you haven't before:

MSLP
My gut feeling is the same as you guys, that it likely is an investigation for many of the reasons that we've all consistently complained about here, and rightfully so. I'm just throwing other thoughts out too since I've not run into this situation before...
MSLP
Bluher used to work as an attorney on the SEC board, so I'm sure he's ensured things have been done through legal loopholes since he's been at MSLP the last couple years, no matter how much we hate and feel abused by many of the actions of this exec team. Prior to his arrival would be the period of time they'd be looking at I would think, if that's even what they are reviewing for in the first place. I'm still not certain this isn't all for standard uplisting protocol either, although I wouldn't be surprised if it was truly an investigative complaint they're looking at.. Regardless, I'm sure Bluher still has pull with the SEC anyway given his history of employment there...
MSLP
Awesome commercial. Would love to see that get into prime time TV at some point, in addition to the planned ESPN placement.
MSLP
Agree, nowhere near a "huge" sell, as I had said back at the time too. Regardless, who cares if they sold some shares back then. The guys have stated they do not yet take salary from FITX. Much of their compensation has been paid in shares, so they clearly deserve to cash some in. Quite frankly, I'm surprised they haven't cashed in a lot more than the small amounts they have, and I think it would be perfectly acceptable if they did. Funny how some people ignore the large buys they did prior to that. These guys still own a huge amount of shares bought and averaged much higher in the pennies. So clearly, they aren't happy with the pps either and I'm sure they don't plan on it staying here long term.
FITX
Don't hold your breath on that one...
FITX
Something's brewing with this sudden big buying volume. Last time we were floating down at these levels without any news for awhile, it blasted off from there suddenly. Hopefully this is the start of the same cycle...as long as traders don't blunt momentum as usual, selling for a couple tics for lunch money, really annoying...
FITX
Probably the same 1 tick flipping MMs and traders that have taken control of the stock movement for awhile now.
FITX
Could you please post where anyone said a SEC investigation would cause an immediate short term pps raise? Don't be ridiculous, no one is saying that, and I expect it to drop well before it raises, so you and Cody's short positions should be just fine. Read closer and look up the words long term and short term. I'm talking looong term. Do you think things would be better long term for the shareholding investors if the execs continued in their ways, or were halted, as well as possibly returning huge bonuses, share cancellations, etc. These are factors that would no doubt increase long term value down the road. No one is talking short term movements up from SEC news (although we also don't know if this is just standard uplisting protocol, which I would assume would be to some extent), and frankly I could care less how low it drops if it does short term. Common sense doesn't have to be so complicated...
