I had to put a note out tonight to a few others in attendance at Maxim. Told them Merriman was in here trying to stake a big position and stealing them from retail to do it. They have no inventory and are net short the stock to get what they need. Told them it would be in their best interest to take the stock higher to get whatever shares they need cuz MERI can't go back to their client empty handed.
These guys really think they can get back all their market losses on one trade, and at 50% scratch to boot!
Hey John? Least I could do for ya buddy! I know you have the piss ant drones watching!
Coop? It depends as we've seen, who your broker is. Some people have gone in to buy with less than a minute left in the trading day and get an immediate execution. Others no. The order has to be sent with at least 90 seconds left. As long as the likes of MERI and others are going to run a program to make sure the low of the day is exposed at all times, or make sure they print the bid as the last trade, without any accountability, then the current shareholder base has no choice but to show a buy at the ask as the last trade. Unless of course, you're MERI trying to create a large position for a buyer at higher prices by stealing them from the existing shareholder base and then keeping the difference for themselves. Then they put a program on the stock that mirrors the previous trade right back into the bid, as you saw yesterday with the last trade slammed into the bid with 2 seconds left in the session. Yep, totally illegal what these MMs are doing, and have been doing to artificially depress the price for many months. But who are we to do anything about it? We're just the shareholder base that accounts for 100% of the ongoing attempt to "maximize shareholder value."

Quiet period I believe. Material news.
Great story and good work John. I also contacted our friend Carl Berg who was so good to us on REFR, to take a good hard look at this one as it is right up his alley for growth. Told him MERI had a big buyer and all sorts of worms trying to crawl through the smallest hole with the spotlight on. He loves hopping on stories like this with a couple hedges just for something fun to do.
MERI had a little stock whose upside was white as snow. Whoops! Where MERI go now. They musta heard also he is sniffing.
Look it up.

My bad. I completely forgot how the human psyche works. It's only DKAM that it doesn't work for.
Let me stand corrected. Anything that is going to happen must be verifiable in the current price or what it has done in the past.
How could I have been so stupid.
Just as a reminder. Dow was at 8490 at that moment.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=32908783
Everyone is waiting for the bottom to happen in the market that came 1400 points ago. That way they all know it is safe to go into stocks like DKAM that have nothing whatsoever to do with 30 industrials or any other facet of the indexes.
Oh wait. Only one person is waiting for the bottom. The rest are screaming they are waiting and loading the boat.
Theoretically, not a problem.
If you had Level 3 you might see a message that MERI is looking for 1.3 mil shares in inventory. Of course, they aren't telling anyone they are for a buyer. So, they have to get them from somewhere and that is stealing them. They would have stood a better chance of pulling it off had they EVER executed a trade before last week on DKAM. All hypothetical of course.
The dot com bubble of 1999 on through 2001 took this market, and particularly the Nasdaq off a cliff. So many stocks run up to ridiculous levels on nothing but air. 2002-2003 saw a couple thousand stocks under a buck that were obliterated with no hope of return. Bashers everywhere all saying they were going to zero. Nasdaq tacks on 150% gains off the reversal and the Dow moves to all time highs at 14198. Same with 1998. Same with 1987. Same with 1929. Americans have been through it so many times they know what is coming. Yet another move to all time highs will happen once the big boys steal all the shares at these discounted prices while Mom and Pop are on the sidelines. Then they'll sell them at twice the price to retail once the market has bounced 3000 points.
Some would have you believe there is no way a stock can reverse course and go higher when it is clear they were going lower during a downtrend. After all, how dare they? Market turns. Fear subsides. Growth is revisited. Growth is rewarded. History repeats yet again as the market sees the worst is behind us and we can form a floor to move higher. DKAM fits perfectly in this scenario. Anyone talking stocks down now has no choice but to be thrown into the category as those before. And that is akin to bath water at best.

You can blah blah all day about how many months out for this product or that and this icon or that. So can we. Think about it. Interscope to a deal promoting their artists. Now, if it were me and the point was to introduce iconic beverages I would have to wonder why you would tag a cognac and a line of sparkling vodkas and a champagne and a tequila to one artist? UI has a wealth of them and IMO you severely limit your audience. What if something happens to Dre? So, maybe we should be thinking about these delays in terms of "real game changers" as the term was used.
Go ahead and bring Dre on the cognac or the sparkling. Then bring in somebody like 50 Cent to take the other one THAT IS ALREADY MANUFACTURED AND READY TO GO IN THE PIPELINE. Twice the audience. Twice the buzz. Twice the implications. But it makes too much sense I suppose.
Well said. Half the battle with being in any stock is the thieving specialists, hedge funds, and market makers. Worse yet is when it trickles into the shareholder base. Bad enough when you have to wait for a move to unfold. Worse yet is having to babysit the stock and defend the very existence of your position against somebody else who owns it.
Several here just need to go ahead and sell and be done with it. Seriously. There are super MMs waiting on the bids with healthy supply just aching for that opportunity. Just make it easy for them, for all of us. Don't look back.
We climb a wall of worry every day. Yet, every day stocks go higher and this market is still sitting at highs above where it has spent 99.89% of its existence.

I will respond. Sure that is very real and could happen. I have not seen a contract. No one has that I'm aware of. Up to this point, Kenny is doing a stand up job on exactly where things stand IMO. Since we entered a recession more than a year ago, and he highlighted the shareholders with a conference call just a few days ago with the dramatic media involvement from Interscope and the icons, then you would have to believe nothing has changed. I certainly feel that way. I would tell you if anything concerned me at this point, or any point. I just wish people would realize how long it does take from concept to meetings to contracts to formulation to tasting to bottling to labeling to distribution to product on the shelves. Everyone has been complaining about the time lag. Yet they were never here until AFTER Trump hit the shelves. They've never had to sit through this and each deal keeps getting better and better.
Then I must insist that everyone treat it equally with the same respect from the other side. It isn't some shell pushing paper. There is no 200 for 1 reverse coming. There is no magical shares gonna disappear from some filing everyone missed. There is no magic meetings where the grand wizard will appear and tell everyone their diamonds will be worth billions.
This is a real company with real growth prospects and real sector related start up growing pains and real expectations of growth based upon the track record of its management and its Board of Directors.
Every time ANYONE slights that to any degree it is a direct hit against those individuals making it happen, the current shareholder base, and any potential investors.
There is nothing wrong with looking at the big picture and seeing what the potential and implications are. Anyone that slights that by drawing to the past with no due diligence whatsoever then that is in fact a direct attack against the company and everyone here who can see exactly the direction we're headed.
I'll spell it out for you again so you can tell your friends and family over the weekend just what is going on. Now follow the bouncing ball, it isn't difficult. Of course, every time we put up exactly what is going on, the bad guys who are watching, slam those bids with more shares to try to discredit and get you thinking about your account value instead of what they are doing and that is preparing to get rich.
Snapple. Enormous. Where's the next Snapple? TASR. BOOM. And the creme in HANS. Where's the next HANS? Always been, always will be. Blah blah blah on "for every HANS there's a million nots." That's all they know because they troll the OTC for a living.
So put the timing with the big picture. This is very easy to see. No smoke and mirrors. Very much common sense.
Grey Goose. Cabo Wabo. Absolut. AB. The list is intensive. Then there is Glaceau Waters. Rapper 50 Cent takes a 10% stake in Glaceau and Coke buys them for $4 billion. Poof! Instant $400 mil in Fifty's pocket. He doesn't need to work but he loves it. New album coming. He's on Interscope and Aftermath and Violator.
The market sits back and goes, "Damn, imagine if that Glaceau had been a stock company. Would have been enormous."
Now about the time that all settles out, somebody goes to Fifty and says, "Time for the next go. You want more?" He says, "Absolutely, whatever Interscope and Dre on, I'm down with it." So, it all gets rolled around and goes down easy on the pallet. Then you get trademarks for El Jefe filed, who is 50 Cent.
Now when the word started filtering that 50 is on to a new deal and this time they can make a go for the stock associated with his new deal, that's when all the crap with the shares and the stock started. About 8 months ago. They know they can take control for 6-9 months until things unfold and load a pretty large position. Sure enough, last week at Maxim, it gets mentioned again in breakout or in presentation. JP Morgan shows up. Now MERI in there trying to steal what they can. There will be more; many more of them, you can bet on it. Goldman should be floating soon. They were the ones to run HANS and JSDA. All the worms trying to crawl through one little hole. They will have to run it up to get any kind of position at all.
Once they get what they can here, they will have to buy it up to get the remaining they want. All climbing over one another. Even if this venture only goes out at $1 or $2 billion, 50 still makes big through Interscope. Now I'm figuring that the profit split goes to the artist on the 50-50 and the warrants go to the parent company, or vice versa. It makes no matter.
The point is what the point has been all along. Somebody will pay an exponentially higher price for DKAM than it is trading at now. Tiger gets $100 mil for promoting G2. Does that insure the next product he endorses will have huge sales? No, but it does lend itself to that IMPLICATION. So it goes for 50 Cent. He made huge on Glaceau. Nobody profited on any stock play. Now 50 coming with his Drinks association. The street, the hedges, the deep pockets will not let this opportunity slip away.
Anyone and everyone you know should be aware of it before it happens. Then it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. And don't waste your time posting negative crap to refute it or to bury this post so the price can be talked down. It doesn't work anymore.
This is the real deal. Trademarks are filed and references in conference calls are not made because someone has an idea they might pursue. It happens after it has happened! You can't talk your way around it. Earnings for the company don't matter. Sales will be increasing. All because 50 Cent is on with Drinks, that will be the hook that virtually forces another player to pay up large before it gets to $4 billion, which is $50 per share. They'll pay $2 billion for DKAM and feel like it was a steal.

"Putting the finishing touches on"
Loosely translated, that is putting references to yak and sparkling vodka in the lyrics and on the CD jackets.
You didn't think they'd miss that opportunity did you?
"Pass the Courvoisier?"
Heck no! "Spak and Yak please!"
You hit the nail Coop. Throwing caution to the wind. That nasty foamy substance left behind in the water when the perfect storm hits. I think it's a perfect metaphor for exactly what it is. But that would make it reality.
And on a totally related note:
http://www.ehow.com/how_2269452_intimidate-tollbooth-workers.html
It is Ore. And to prove they are in Detroit and it is happening, mark this post.
You will be hearing all about new references to
"The Three Headed Monster."
More big picture for those paying attention. For the rest, recess is over. Back to detention.
Drinks has the trademarks for Violator and El Jefe. That leads straight to 50 Cent. Kenny even told us back in August. Eminem, 50 Cent, and Dre all in Detroit right now putting the finishing touches on their "triple threat" for Universal and Aftermath.
Now, in case you've been under a log, which we know for some is a vacation in paradise, then you'd know 50 cent held a 10% interest in Glaceau Waters that Coke bought for $4 billion. Poof! Instant $400 mil in 50's pocket. Now, that isn't chump change. Yet, here he comes signing with Drinks on an even bigger project. Why? because there is more money to be made.
Now, listen carefully boys and girls. NOBODY had a chane to get in on Glaceau because it was private. What you think is gonna happen when 50 announces his next business venture?
They will come from everywhere. If you can't get that then you really need to go away.

"I will use whatever means necessary or unnecessary to trip you up" to quote a favorite line. Aside from all the dribble about this number or that number the big picture has to resonate. You can sit here all you want and whine about product on the shelves or profit going forward or any other crap you can come up with to load the board away from what's really going on. I mean, for pete's sake, it's a freakin 20 cent stock and blah blah blah blah about whatever. What I see is a company that is about to unleash a number of products on the market that will change the face of the company for good. I see a company that goes and participates in a Growth Conference and within days the likes of JP Morgan and Merriman Curran Ford show up as market makers on the stock. These aren't slack players. This is the real deal. Never executed a trade on DKAM now suddenly they are here. Oh, I suppose since the company had the audacity to tell their story at Maxim that makes them a short candidate when only 301 shares are short. Hardly, reality check for several of you. Nope, they want in and just like most of you, not willing to pay up to get them. Oh no no! They will do whatever they can to steal shares from retail. Since another player has been loading large, they won't be able to get theirs. All that is left is retail. They will break the rules. They will do whatever, in this case, is unnecessary. That's how it works. That's how it has always worked.
Who knows if MERI will stay visible or go back into hiding. No matter. They will send it when they do in a tag team effort. Big picture. Products. Sales. Media. Buzz. Finally the connection between these products and Drinks. And these guys will help that along nicely. Yes, they are watching. They can't afford not to. And yes, they do play OTC. Oh do they ever.
By the way. MCF was at Maxim last week. Their office just around the corner. Merriman on the board of Leading Brands. Ralph McRae and Kenny good friends for years. Look it up and put it together. Oh wait, that involves proactive research and DD. Nevermind.

This is who MERI is you saw at the end of day manipulating the price:
http://www.mcfco.com./Research/Consumer.php
All I can say Halcy is that part we can't address here without showing our hand especially since the guys behind this watch every post we put up. All I can say is, "More than you can imagine."
You should have seen the 30K buy on the ask that the algorithmic program immediately threw into the bid to create a new low of day naked short style.
That is your manipulation program running at its finest to drive your shares into their accounts.
MERI is Mercantile Investment Services that showed up to help. Probably somebody from Maxim last week.
Actually, Merriman Curran Ford is also showing as MERI. I know they were at Maxim last week for sure.

Even worse is the $2150 burning a hole in this guy's pocket at .215 as a new low of day. And show the shares no less. If he needs out that bad, just take the slew of bidders waiting at .21 and .20. Oh wait, that is the group waiting to run it, so all part of the manipulation program.
Market new highs right now. Now how do you suppose that happened?
Perfect getting back in XL at 8.50 for the next leg. Just drawing to the boredom factor for most.

My take on it Coop is that "the party" that has been accumulating for 8 months knows that management has 55%. They know they aren't selling. They know the company will undoubtedly get bought out. They know DKAM is being shopped and will be shopped. They know a large number of retail traders grabbed or are grabbing large positions. So naturally all that is left is the miniscule daily volume they create by holding the stock in check for months. That is the only way they can get the large position THEY want and to assure that when it does take off they will be able to control the entire move over 1-2 years. Much like they did with HANS and JSDA. In other words, the shares out there will be hard to come by and lend to an even greater exponential move higher.
Market high of day to be broken shortly. On our way back to 9200. See you there. Not today but before you know it. Dow is -87 when I made this post.

400 point market bounce. Like I said market bottom is in. Wedging up perfectly. Mom and Pop on the sidelines as was expected. The entire takedown was all about the FTDs before the new plan is uncovered totally making it illegal to naked short. Jail time now. Mom and Pop waiting til the election is over. Big boys loading the boat on the market so they can dump their shares on retail after they start buying again in November. Chicken Little still out there painting gloom and doom on the masses. We have to remember Chicken Little just got slammed in the head. 7882.51 safe for many years to come. As soon as the idiots start screaming 5000, that is your buy signal and that came Friday. You missed it. Looks like I'll be eating fried chicken tonight.
Asking questions is one thing. However this board is a place for sharing information whether it be good or bad. The problem is that far too many people who have never done a bit of DD are constantly asking questions they can get the answers to by doing some research and picking up the phone. The board IS NOT the place to get or make investment decisions nor is it the place to draw into question everyone else's work theyv'e done when the poster has done none.
I have put up post after post detailing the new trademarks Drinks has. The deal with Violator just from the trademark. Not just one Kid beer, but three of them just from the trademark filings. These are things that lead us to know IN ADVANCE what is coming and what will lead to higher sales. And what does it result in? A token hey that's great from a poster or two.
Instead we find ourselves talking incessantly about the questions I won't answer or the sales from the past year or two. That is ridicuolous. Kenny already said he should not have thrown out the 100K figure for the Trump cases if he had any idea the delays on many fronts he would run in to. So this time he was very emphatic on the CC making sure everyone knew his numbers showing 300% growth were conservative and we could see much more.
As far as the costs and the bottom line and all that junk, go back and listen to the CCs and read the transcripts. He said our continual emphasis on SG&A drawdown will lead to us running even leaner and meaner. They expect that number to continue to decline. Yet, people insist on using past financials and keeping that number static.
I am sick and tired of doing everybody's homework for them and then being called to task for it. Time to just be a moderator and do the things behind the scenes that will make this stock soar hopefully without these quote unquote "others" in the stock.
Market Maker Guideline #17: Show the "actual" shares on the bid that are in the book, instead of the required 5000, to signal to the other market makers you plan to take the stock higher. This will be deemed "the signal." In most cases, we will use ARCA to display our intentions.
Market Maker Guideline #18: Show your shares on the bid price outside of the required 5000 to entice retail to sell positions of size into your bid right before you take the stock price much higher. They are sheep as you may already know.

The bottom is in. We're just in the process of confirming it.
And Drinks has nothing to do with this market, so you should be buying all you can.
Bid .225 Ask .27 Proof in and of itself the ONLY two things standing between this stock being double are the orders that come in at or after the open. That would be one, the party intent on keeping it here to get as many as possible before they make it fly. Second, those getting out because it hasn't flown.
Always the way! Big money creates the future. Retail reacts to the past.

Thank you Ore. FINALLY! Somebody gets it. But, you had it all along. :)
If you knew 100% without fail, without a shadow of a doubt, no ifs ands or buts, no consequence, no eloquence, that the price was going to go to $1.20, wouldn't you want to load every possible share you could get your hands on? Some would even go so far as to jerry rig the system and force the hand of the retail shareholder for about 8 months. You know, do it for as long as possible and send in a few clowns on every message forum available to talk negatively about the stock. Anything to trip the hand of the retail player to dump the shares into their coffers.
Then beyond the $1.20 it falls to the market for valuations. But by then the hedges and instys take over.
Ever wonder why Kenny spent so much time talking those per case valuations on the CC? He is always full of clues. He is being shopped for sure. That is his way of telling you so. His way of also telling you that the run is coming and he knows what these guys are up to. These guys? LMAO!

Nope numbers never do lie. But there is also a time when "analysis paralysis" kicks in. That time has long since passed.
Today is October 15. Let's say today the CEO comes out and announces sales will grow by $15 million over the next 6-12 months. Current sales are $4.5 million. That is more than a 300% increase in sales over the next year. Pretty freakin impressive since 99% of the beverage companies out there are struggling to sneak out 5%-10% growth metrics for their business.
Last week, our CEO announced that sales would grow by $15 million over the next 12-18 months. The CEO cannot control the exact date the products will arrive, all the media, all the surrounding parameters, how the distributor re orders will fall, all those external factors.
Now, on exactly October 15, 2009, the CEO announces they have achieved exactly 300% growth in sales. In each case, the CEO did exactly as promised. The results are the same. THE NUMBERS ARE THE NUMBERS.
Yet, we have people posting crap about 12-18 months and it really not being 300% when you go out 1 1/2 years. If we were in the 6-12 month timeframe, there would be many who would be screaming that the sales are not coming in as expected and the CEO has fed us a line of crap again, which he has never done once.
The same holds true for sales. THE NUMBERS ARE THE NUMBERS. In 2006, the company did $1.6 million in sales. In the two subsequent years, they did $6.0 and $4.5 million in sales. That is $10.5 million in sales for the two years. That is a combined 556% increase in sales over 2006. That is an AVERAGE of $5.25 million in sales each year. That is a 228% average increase in sales per year. That is a 68% increase in sales per year in the aggregate. That is a loss per share from 16 cents to 8 cents. That is a payment of 90% of outstanding debt.
Once again, those with limited capacity in many regards, much less what is in plain print because THE NUMBERS ARE THE NUMBERS, would want you to believe sales are declining; it is all smoke and mirrors; it is a clever con job. They insist on drawing you to the $6.0 mil dropping to $4.5 mil as a sign the company is failing. Yet, they say nothing about the $4.5 mil in sales from last year tracking currently to the same number for this year. They say nothing about that current number increasing dramatically on last week's call. Nope, it is all about the past.
Then it gets better. Then others come in and say that no matter what they sell, they will lose money. All previous quarters have been losses with increasing sales, so it will remain that way.
THE NUMBERS ARE THE NUMBERS. A growth in sales of $15 million as promised. Will they be higher? Probably. But in the near term, you can expect this. The growth spurt going forward will come at an average of 44% margins. The company is tracking an SG&A drawdown to $1.1 mil per quarter. On $10 mil in sales, $4.4 mil will be gross profit. Their remaining costs $4.4 mil. Depending where the Olifant annual payment falls adds another $400K to their costs. So, somewhere between $800K-$1 mil in additional sales takes them to break even to cover that payment. That is how I derived the figure a month ago. That is how the CEO derived the figure for the CC last week.
On the $9 mil beyond that break even number, the margin relationship drops to 38% because it picks up the non alcoholic. It is NOT declining margins. It isn't a sell signal. IT IS PRODUCT MIX. No additional costs to take out. Gross Profit is Net Profit on additional sales above the break even. That is $3.42 mil in Net Profit. That is 4 cents per share.
Now, you can spend the next 6-12 months arguing the fact that the numbers didn't fall right this quarter compared to last, or this quarter's growth surge won't be sustainable going forward and will repeat 2006, or the fact that 4 cents in profit does not a $20 stock make! You see, the real truth is no matter what the company does, there will be that host of front porch sofa squatters that will talk down the numbers any way they can. That is all they know. Their limited capacity with such things predecates it if not demands it.
The fact is, they are doing what they said they would. The exponential growth is what they said it would be. The company is undervalued in a peer relationship in its industry. Their per case valuation for a buyout is undervalued by 80% currently. When these numbers hit, it will be undervalued by more than 95% of its industry per case valuation.
Why? Because THE NUMBERS ARE THE NUMBERS.
On this exact same scenario, Cramer two years ago touted REDF on 1 cent in profit. He took it from $6 to $33. Sure, it came back down. Beside the point. On this identical scenario, JSDA went from 18 cents to $33. Sure, it came back down. Beside the point.
Nothing more to say here. The rest is analysis paralysis. No hype. No pump. No dog and pony show. From start up to dramatic losses to increasing sales to no debt to global expansion to declining losses to break even to profit to more expansion to shareholder equity to a higher exchange listing to analyst coverage to sshare buyback to buyout.
Why? Because THE NUMBERS ARE THE NUMBERS.

It was said before that the deals with these new icons are "equity relationships." Do you even know what that means? Each of the icons forms their own "business." In this case, Aftermath Beverage Company for Dre; American Bad Ass Beer Company for Kid. They have no distribution capabilities. They carry no product. They generate no sales of product. They are in name only for the purposes of forming an equity relationship with DA.
All costs associated with manufacturing and distribution, including any SG&A and overhead are born by DA. All costs associated with marketing and media are born by the parent in each case whether it is UI or Kid himself.
DA will then back out all costs associated with putting product on the shelf. That will bring them to a "Net Equity Split" number which is a line item of net profit to be split 50-50.
While UI or Kid or others may have marketing and media costs associated with their particular icon, it does not affect DA's side of the equation. Those entities concede to the fact it is a "cost of doing business" that gives their artist, or the same, more visibility and leads to many more album sales.
As a tradeoff to this part of the deal, and to sustain longevity in the nature of the relationship, each individual contract has warrants, like bonuses or royalties, at $1.20 or so, that kick in once those prices are reached. DA gets the cash infusion without dilution, and the other side gets rewarded for their commitment to the overall success of the relationship.
Now you know why our particular party is loading large down here as they know those warrants will be kicking in. And why not control the price if you know at a minimum you will be making 5 times your money. In our case, they know they will be making alot more. Because when it hits $1.20 it will be on far more momentum from the other news that is out there for the company.
The really nice thing is now knowing who is behind this intense accumulation process that on the surface appears like nobody cares. Why the goofy price action. What their plans are and for when. It is so easy when you control the action. The only thing that can change it is if somebody shows up and decides they want to play also. And that just adds to it. All of them will be wrong. So many will be crying they didn't load the boat or got caught napping playing other stuff. All I can do is laugh because the outcome is so vivid. It should be, it has already happened before!
Ore? You asked me for one great play last Friday I believe. I told you it was XL. We grabbed the $3.60-$3.80's on Wed. Over $6 Friday. $12.90 today. Hope that worked for you. On its way to that $21 book value minimum from the way it looks.
Make that $13.29. Freight train.
