Now I don't know that this will also benefit DRGP, but when the cost for cable time goes down our profit margins should be up.
So, if I'm not mistaken, the situation described by the CEO of Telebrands should also be a benefit for DRGP. At least I hope so.

For the sake of conversation....I just read Agora Financials 5 Minute Forecast and they had this paragraph:
Last, another sign of changing consumer habits: a new bull market in infomercials.
“Since last year, when the recession started,” A.J. Khubani, CEO of Telebrands, told AOL recently “our business has tripled. Already this year, by January, we’re 20% over last year’s [sales]. We’re expecting another record year.”
It makes sense… people are desperate, looking for fix alls in an economy where everything is broken. More people are staying at home watching TV. And advertising budgets everywhere have shrunken to pennies, leaving nothing but opportunity for the next SaladShooter, Chia Pet, ShamWow, Snuggie or some other material substitute for emotional tranquility.
“We get beachfront property for trailer park prices,” Khubani said of current ad costs.
WOW!!! I didn't notice it before. Thanks Carl for drawing it to our attention. I'm guessing that's the new logo Melissa mentioned a while back as well.
Randy
Wally, I would simply show the new symbol with the cost average of the shares when you bought them.
The only numbers the IRS gets is the total amount of your selling transaction.
I'm not a CPA, but have filed lots of Schedule D's (or whichever Schedule it is ) in my life.
Randy
Hey Blockman. My .008's are looking pretty sweet at this point. I guess I should have bought more. At least I'm not too far from my cost average. A few more days like this and I'll be in the money.
Good night.
Hey Janice, I'm thinking that the increase in volume is probably shares that have been paid to promotors to promote....of course when that happens, management is most likely feeling any demand with a few of their own shares.
However, I was sort of counting on them driving the stock price higher before unload very many of their shares. As I have only 20 cent invested here (I had some free trades when I bought in)....I'm still ahead of the game... at least a little (by the time I deduct $8 for a trade. :)

Randy
That post was another "KEEPer"
Thanks.
Randy
Thanks John. You added another whole dimension to the NFL football season for me. Thanks.
Randy
Thanks Mike. Pretty good read. When you mentioned the low PE ration, my first thought that it was going to be another china BB, but this is primarily USA. I've added it to my watch list.
Randy
Just PM'd you again. RK
HI. Just PM'd you. Have a great night.
RK
Any one hear anything about thsi company. From the Looks of it the company could almost go private is Bruno G. keeps buying up the shares.
RK
Good Morning Eats and Board....
Since the stock was down on low volume yesterday, I scrounged some funds to add to my CDCH position. I took out the .008 offer and then finished my remaining order at .009, though it looks like I could have filled at .008 if I had been patient.
But now that the bid is already higher...I guess it's OK. :)
Regards,
Randy
Thanks Brent.
Who were you cheering for in the Super Bowl? I was cheering for the Cardinals. I thought it was a pretty good game.
Also, I found that importing the yahoo portfolio into Excel makes mining the data a lot easier. It's only taken me a year and month to figure this out. Funny huh?
Have a great night!!

Well, I generally post a complete contest standing as well as a summary where I mention the first 5-6 gaining stocks at the end of each month.
It would be fairly easy to incorporate these into the IBOX.
I can easily check the H.I.S. Portfolio any time...but updating it more frequently is probably more time and effort than it's worth. Things will change a lot from month to month.
Maybe next year if we get enough prizes we can even offer monthly consolation price for the biggest gainer at that point in the contest.
So far, joenatural's ACTC.PK from .03 is kicking all of our butts.
Regards,
Randy

Now if there would be a corresponding increase in self-discipline, church attendance and morality, you'd have me cheering for the current recession. :)
Randy
I think I was the moderator of this board before the Admin dropped me... but I don't know why.....nobody else was posting anyway....plus...the previous 5-6 posts were me anyway....
Maybe I was just setting it up to become moderator, but forgot to actually apply..... who knows?
One thing is pretty clear....we have a whole lot less lawsuits to settle now. That overhang being gone has to be positive.
There was a fairly active buyer rthe other day...bought up the low offers adn then grabbed what was it 10K or 20K at .22 cents.
Darn I shoujld have under cut that bid...at .20. Then I'd have more dollars to support the bid and buy back more shares at a lower price. Well, maybe I would anyway. :)
Randy
So far it looks like the stock price doesn't really care. It was actually trading lower than this before the news came out.
I suspect that was probably some people close of the company selling out before this additional information became known.
Well, it seems that the company has unraveled it's acquisition of Star Energy.
It will be interesting to see if they have another direction in mind or whether it's back to the drawing board.
Well, the stock has been sitting at a bid of .005 and an offer of .007 for the last while. I noticed that today, just before the close that the .007 offer was taken out with a 25K share buy and has now become the bid.
You never know. Is this just another speculator or could it someone that knows something. I checked for the website and the SEC.ORG for filings and nada. I guess it merely piquies my interest for tomorrow or maybe later this week.
Chances are, it is nothing....but one thing we know is that time will tell.
Regards,
Randy
Another Huge volume day on Friday. I think if they would come out with some good news this could spring board to pennyland pretty quick.
Randy
Blockman. Great story... and great timing. I guess we will have to see whether he can get 'er done next Sunday. Of any that might be skeptical you can read more about the story on Snopes.com
http://www.snopes.com/glurge/warner.asp
Although the facts are a little mis-represented, they are largely accurate and even more impressive.

12-8-2008 8-K Numbers revised upward@!!!!!
they expect an additional 200,000 high end mp3 players to be shippped in calendar 2009.
http://yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com/DisplayFiling.aspx?dcn=0001019687-08-005380
On December 8, 2008, we entered into an Addendum to the (above) Agreement (the “Addendum”) with DSG International, PLC (“DSG”), which terms are referenced above.
The Addendum modifies the original Agreement as follows:
During the first 12 month period, we agreed to supply, and DSG agreed to purchase, 500,000 (five hundred thousand) high-spec MP3 Players, thereby increasing the initial contract amount by 200,000 high-spec MP3 Players per year.
¨
Units are to be delivered in four tranches of 125,000 units each, rather than 75,000 units each, to the DSG’s main distribution warehouse.
¨
During the first 12 month period of the agreement, we anticipate that we may generate up to $18,931,850 (USD) in gross revenues, as opposed to $12,535,050 as per the original agreement, resulting in an increase in revenues of $6,396,800 in the first 12 months of the agreement.
¨
In the event that we exercise our option for an additional 12 month period, in the second year, we may generate gross revenue of $18,931,850 USD, as opposed to $12,535,050 under the (above) Agreement, which would, subject to the foregoing, generate an increase in revenues of $6,396,800 in the second year of the Agreement.
¨
Pursuant to the terms of the Addendum, the total number of MP3 Players to be sold to DSG throughout the term of the Agreement (including the option period) shall be 1,400,000 (one million four hundred thousand) MP3 Players, as opposed to 1 million MP3 Players as set forth in the (above) Agreement.
¨
Under these conditions we anticipate that we may generate revenues from the sale of 1,400,000 MP3 Players (over a 24 month term pursuant to the Addendum) which may be as high as $37,863,700 (USD). Based upon the foregoing, we may achieve an increase of $12,793,600 in revenues over the initial Agreement.
While we believe that the Agreement with DSG and the Promotional Program hold significant opportunities for us, if general economic conditions weaken further (including, but not limited to, current recessionary conditions), our projections may not be realized. All of our revenue projections are “forward-looking” statements and are subject to the risks and uncertainties described below.
11/10/2008 8-K SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE....
http://yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com/displayfilinginfo.aspx?FilingID=6241332-1160-9619&type=sect&dcn=0001019687-08-004934
On November 10, 2008, the Company executed an Agreement (the “Agreement”) with DSG International, PLC. (“DSG”), one of Europe’s largest retailers of electrical goods, to offer a music content promotional program for the sale of co-branded MP3 Players with Pure Play Music, Ltd. (PPM or Pure Play) to be titled “The Great Digital Music Download”. A summary of key provisions of the Agreement follows;
The Sale of Co-Branded MP3 Players
Under the terms of the Agreement DSG shall purchase from Pure Play 500,000 co-branded MP3 Players, pre-loaded with 60 different music tracks pre-selected by Pure Play ,on the following terms:
¨
The term of the agreement shall be for 12 months. PPM has the option to renew for an additional 12 months for the sale of an additional 500,000 MP3 Players on the same terms and conditions;
¨
During the first 12 month period, PPM shall supply, and DSG shall Purchase, 200,000 (two hundred thousand) low-spec MP3 Players . Unit. Units shall be delivered in four tranches of 50,000 units each to the Buyer’s main distribution warehouse.
¨
During the first 12 month period, PPM shall supply, and DSG shall Purchase, 300,000 (three hundred thousand) high-spec MP3 Players .. Units will be delivered in four tranches of 75,000 units each to the Buyer’s main distribution warehouse.
¨
During the first 12 month period of the agreement PPM shall realize gross revenue of $12,535,050 USD.
¨
Upon PPM exercising its option for an additional 12 month period PPM shall realize additional revenues of $12,535,050, bringing PPM’s total gross revenues for the sale of 1 million MP3 Players pursuant to this agreement to $25,070,100 USD.
¨
Payment for each tranche will be paid within 30 days of delivery.
As I understand the plan is they have acquired the rights to market unsigned music talent. I seems that they will be meeting a real market need and function.
In order to exploit this talent and their music they have been signing licensing agreements with some pretty big names in the music business. They have signed a number of mega million dollar contracts with retailers and MP3 manufacturers who will sell their MP3 players loaded with dozens adn possibly hundreds of songs of these unsigned talent.
Just check out the recent 8-k filings and from the sounds of it the future ones as well.
Regards,
Randy
Information from the latest filings:
As of 8/31/08 Shares Outstanding: 59,342,701 shares
Not too many peeps on this one. A friend of mine has called me acouple times about some pretty major events coming down the pipe.
I read through a few of the 8-k filings and if even 1/2 of what they say comes about we have the potential for a huge win.
Not to my knowledge. Why would you think so?

Good info guyguy. Thanks for updating the board on your enlarged display at Cabelas. I live about 25 miles from a Cabelas. Next time I go past it I will stop buy and check if they're carrying.
Randy
09, as this is you first post....welcome to the board.
In what town and state did you find Bell Buckle's products in a Wal-Mart. We had thought the Walmart test market was in Dallas, Texas region. If you've found it somewhere else it could be a good sign.

Boy, that cat story was scary (but funny).
