Bentley? What car brand are shareholders paying for this time? How many yatchs can Barry/Lisa waterski behind? Limitless exploitation of shareholders.
The $1,200,000 stipulated judgement may have been filed last quarter. How much new shareholder money would go to paying this judgement?
Nutrabars proven to not sell themselves. The 33 pct price cut is huge. Much bigger than established products.
Established products get rolled back at WM just enough to make WM the low cost provider of a particular product for a short period of time. The major difference with Nutrabars is it is not an established product. The price matters little to the consumer at this time. The lack of sales is not caused by the price, but the amount of awareness about Nutrabars. Advertising campaigns are needed to create awareness. This is not being done. The only advertising is the rollback stickers on the shells. Management should have advertised instead of paying bonuses.
The other problem is the Barz are not a replacement for food that will be purchased regularly. The value of the Barz is in the portability. They are great when traveling with your dog. Most people, like me, only occasionally travel with my dog. After the awareness campaign, that worked., consumers would only occasionally purchase bars. IMO, we have to accept that the bars are a small niche product and not the ubiquitous industry charger that they were touted to be.
Valid point. Unfortunately, the rollback price assures that each unit sold will be unprofitable. After offering bars at the rollback price, it will be very difficult to restore pricing to a higher price point, and the bars will never be profitable.
Your polite presentation of our disagreement is respected and appreciated.
Walmart does not rollback prices on products with good sales. Just to be clear, AAPT does not wheels.
The only two possible catalysts to move the stock upward are the resignation of the current board and a very large increase in reported sales with a high profit margin. Everyone knows that buyouts, share buy backs, and teams of business advisors are not going to lift this stock. We also have been burned too many times by new customers that do not materialize and truckloads of product that do not get shipped. The risk that the company will run out of operating capital or face a legal hurdle of great significance continues to rise as we muddle through the current rollback and coupon quagmire. Nominal sales may increase with the rollback, but those sales will probably be unprofitable as the discounting and other costs needed to generate those sales, hacks away the chance for a variable profit. Your chart may look good to you, but my crystal ball, oiji board and tarot cards say otherwise, as does the astrological formation and preachings of cable tv televangelists.
Need placements in Petstore chains like Petco more than Home Depot. Oh I forgot, can't get into Petco, because the greedy CEO is suing them for a slip and fall. That shows self-interests ahead of shareholders by far, but he is your CEO.
I think Management took bonuses before the paycut, so the paycut is meaningless. Nobody will know for sure until the audited financials.
Thank you for your agreement with my position. I, like you, want the stock to go up. The difference is, I am convinced that a PPS increase will never happen when the clowns run the circus. Shareholder activism is needed to create positive change.
Requests to stop repeating are only made when the opinion is contrary to our position. I remain steadfast that AAPT does not wheels.
Marketing budget blown on bonuses and personal expenditures. Greedy management strikes again. AAPT does not wheels.
Self-interested management. Advertising, not bonuses, creates awareness for the product. Look at the root cause of the problem. Management gave your investment dollars to themselves instead of advertising. Call the Company and tell them that was wrong and we want our money back.
Its bring your pet to Walmart time! Every pet that enters the store gets a free sample Nutrabar, plus a coupon to buy another. If your dog is not able to enter the Walmart store, you can sample the moldy nutrabar yourself, and you still get the coupon.
When margins are shrinking, why add more costs? It makes no sense, but hey its AAPT, and it makes no sense for that management to get any pay for the quality of services they provide.
3rdParty merchandisers paid with AAPT shares, but the pps decline from $0.012 to $0.0027 means that this group will get more shares or less money by selling the AAPT shares they received for the services to be provided. A 3rd party merchandiser, sends workers to retail stores to give out samples, set-up displays, clean up shelves, etc. Its kinda like the free samples at Costco, with other services.
I do not understand the instore sample thing. Does the human eat the sample, or does your dog need to enter the store to get the sample. If it is in store, why would this work at Walmart where pets are not allowed?
Excellent Post, but missing the management change request. Horrible management is the cause of the AAPT problems. I agree with everything else you said.
If stock drops below $0.0022, berSCAM and schWARTz would pay their grid note back to themselves despite the fact that employees, vendors and taxes remain unpaid, and investors have big losses on their investment. When it comes to greed, AAPT management is very consistent.
Agreed. The negativity is a result of managements collective actions. 0.0022 is next. Probably today.
Increased losses per unit guarantees unprofitability. Build it and they will come does not work. Neither does "make moldy Nutrabars and they will sell themselves". It's another stupid business plan from an incompetent management team, that never planned to really sell anything other than private placement shares.
Silly sampling is Hail Mary pass thrown a month ago. Lots of new costs on an already reduced margin. This is the most rediculous and useless PR since AAPT "goes global". How much did they pay that team of business advisors to come up with the plan to further discount rolled back prices.
We are not impressed and I predict a poor stock market reaction to this sorry excuse for news from the highly touted "big walmart" meeting. Expect the next pr to be either "AAPT pays consumers to buy Pawtizer because they can't sell it" or "team of business advisors proposes sale of non moldy bars to increase product quality"
I hope management takes another 50 pct pay cut for this inane blunder. No, make that a 100 pct cut. Better yet, a 200 pct paycut.
The $300k bonus on $20k in sales dropped aapt stock more than the internet commentary on the same subject. The management's failure to deliver promised results on a consistent basis contributed more to the decline in AAPT stock than the comments posted about their failures. Nobody makes buy or sell decisions based on message boards. When thing go well, the AAPT pstock wil go up and there will be more positive comments than negative comments. When things go poorly, the opposite will occur. Internet comments are the effect, not the cause. If you want AAPT to go up, bash the management into making money for shareholders instead of making money for themselves. I know the two clowns are too selfish and greedy to do that, but you can push them in that direction.
Now, to explore your paid basher theory further, what companies hire paid bashers and how much do they pay per post? If those questions can be answered, try to calculate the profit made from those services. Better yet, explain how they make any money from stock bashing a sub penny stock like AAPT. Yesterday, a little over 1 million shares traded. Total trade volume in dollars was less than $3,000. If a broker got a 3pct commission on every share, the gross would be $90. I estimate more than 50 negative posts yesterday. If your theory is correct, that is less than $2 per bash. No one would work for that little. An AAPT employee may only collect that much in wages in a month, but that is only because the clowns gave the money to star queens instead of funding payroll.
Lisa/AAPT has nothing to say
Bagholders and followers of done stock's like AAPT is essentially the same thing. The bagholder doesn't know that he is the bagholder until he gets caught holding the bag. Investors do not know they are in a done stock until the stock is done. I hope this answers your question about why so many follow this done stock. AAPT is done and AAPT does not wheels.
90% decline since this prediction was made. The prediction was also made when the PPS was above $0.02. NO CREDIBILITY
No sales of AAPT until $10.00 per share. LOL LOL LOL
Advances as in CONSIGNMENT of inventory. Not much to brag about, especially in a small chain of 15 stores. No one has stated how many stores have the product either. It could be just one.
AAPT does not tell the truth. Calling will result in more lies.
Here is a quote from an AAPT supporter per post 67974:
AAPT stock will skyrocket when clowns are removed totally as management. I guarantee it! I will also re-invest to make it happen and encourage everyone else I know to invest when it happens.
No company can do well when the the one and the same BOD and management represent their personal interest and not the shareholder interest.
10 years of incompetence. They did rethink their startegy in 2010 and 2011 and this is the result. They also rethinked their strategy in 2006, 2007 2008 and 2009. I know a lot of people think the past is irrelevant and only the future matters, but come on, the same two clowns keep making mistake after mistake after mistake, all with other peoples money.
ITS TOXIC FINANCING TIME! PP investors will not invest given todays price action. The Company will be not have enough cash to operate and sales and margins are too low to contribute to operations. Barry & lisa will of course get their salary and personal expense account, but the necessary operations will be crippled. A reverse split could not save them. Before they even attempt a reverse, the Company will be non salvageable. Bonnie and Clyde robbed too many investor banks, now there are no more investor banks to rob.
AAPT getting pummeled today. $0.001 hit. Ouch!
This AAPT stock stinks. Several showers needed to get the smell of this bad investment off of you. Be careful that the stock drops to $0.001 and stays there or goes lower.
Criminals Schwartz/Bershan stole investor money and lied to the public. Shareholder anger should be directed at them.
AAPT management was stupid to use product reseller. Every dollar made by reseller is money left on the table. The reseller chosen is. terrible. He has offended many AAPT investors, given false and misleading information and used retarded slogans like "AAPT wheels". The reseller has been hurting the company. AAPT should get rid of him.
AAPT's business is selling shares. Every other public and private company is in the business of selling goods and services. Those that realize the true nature of AAPT will not be the final bagholders.
Not dark, you are seeing the light finally. Glad to have you on the side of justice and integrity.
Correct: Screenshot 4/16, Bombing 4/15. Incompetence is the mildest reason this screw up occurred.
AAPT mocked BostonBombing victims to promote NutraBars. The story that retarded Joel did not hear about the bombing until the next day is total spin-doctor hogwash, to put it ligthly.
10 months ago. You said forget the past. Besides, Barry said everything was untrue and meritless, so no need to worry about that letter. AAPT does not wheels, did not wheels and never will wheels.
NutraBoom: BostonBombing: Insensitive and immature to post bomb related ads on AAPT's facebook page the day of the Boston bombing. Joel in marketing is a true idiot!
"Lierum" great post. You're finally understanding the clown managers keep running this circus into the ground. I am impressed that you can admit your mistake about the $2.1 million prepaid being an asset, when it really was just 164 million shares of dilution. I still do not understand why you remain unwilling to sell. Please explain?
Barron's article: Naked ShortSelling denounced by "crackpots, devotees of penny stocks, and troubled companies eager to divert attention from their failings. In other words, sightings of it often turn out to be bunk."
