No... what I was pointing out is that if one of the shareholders is so smart that he can pull off what two CEOs have not in over two years, then that knowledge would probably have some value.
People on this forum keep making statements like Adrian can just wave a magic wand and make stuff happen.
You all need to get realistic. If you want him to do something, you better realize that it probably takes money... only DNA Brands is a dormant company with no revenue and no cash reserves. So, where is that money going to come from?
I thought that Adrian had that problem somehow solved when he stated during the April 20th conference call that he would have the energy drinks back in the market "early third quarter." However, that did not happen... so obviously he did NOT solve the money problem.
To reiterate, it is NOT a problem of Adrian needing to get the damn product on the shelf in stores. Mel did an amazing job of getting the product on store shelves in 2014 and nothing happened.
The problem is where is the money going to come from to not only get the product on store shelves, but also pay for marketing and advertising to make sure everyone knows that the product is there on the shelf, ready to buy.
If there is not money there to do both, and do it very aggressively, the whole effort is just a waste of time.
So again, when someone makes a suggestion about what Adrian should do, I ask you: Where is the money to pay for that?
Maybe Adrian can get the money to pay for advertising the product if he does a share buyback. Yeah, that makes alot of sense! <extreme sarcasm intended>
I think much of what you just said has merit.
The point that I took issue with was the assertion that Adrian has been knowingly lying to us from day 1. I do not believe that
Remember that during the 4/20 conference call, Costly stated that the energy drinks would be back in production in the third quarter. Adrian immediately jumped on that by correcting Costly and stating that it would be "early 3rd quarter."
Someone does not do something like that if they do not firmly believe what they are stating as a correction of one's business partner.
I think the since 4/20, Adrian got an education.
Sure, you can say that Adrian should have gotten his education, and learned exactly what would be involved with cost, time and resources to reboot the energy drink product line BEFORE he went public with anything presented as solid.
You would be right.
It appears that in that sense, Adrian made a big mistake.
That is not the same as being an intentional liar.
