hshl is different than ivfh. They likley have nothing to tell. revenues may be bad and they may be hitting a brick wall as far as distribution. We know IVFH business is growing and will soon get great news
OT: sorry to hear that Stock. I hope it comes through for you guess you just have to hold now. I got out a good while ago took a loss though
yes a very exciting day this action is why I love this stock lol
The ones that are watching and considering buying arent realizing its still a steal at this level. They will be the same ones that buy it much higher when the facts begin to emerge. I expect the beginning is tomorrow. Good news to come from the shareholders meeting !
The stock remains a hidden gem still..news will rock it forward
I look for the ammo tomorrow to help get it rolling : )
Happy 4th of July to all . I am off to AC to rock the 4th with Three Doors Down!

They obviously have a plan. I do think Robsaia had it nailed. Its all about competition. likely they didnt want to give up any of their hand until the time was right. After the scam the company likley felt defenseless being on the pinks. They re- grouped built their business and kept shareholders informed on a more personal basis rather than PR's. We can see that we have 5450 holders of this stock. That comes to an average of 15k per holder. Many are still holding from when the stock was 0.40 to 0.50. For the record I plan on addressing the concern over lack of PR"S to be safe. I plan on informing them ( likley they already know) how momentum and news often is important on the OTC to maintain your share price. If I do not get the time at the meeting I will hand out copies of our suggestions to Chef Jon and Chef Joe and follow with phone calls. There are many questions to be answered I want those answers first then I want to work on impressing our suggestions and concerns on them just in case it can help.

Here are a couple articles from that magazine. Chef Joe played an instrumental part in these publications. The first I have a PDF file the second has been copy pasted thanks to a poster on RB

It's amazing how many different sizes, shapes and colors mushrooms come in," said Joe Di Maggio, CEO and Founder of Food Innovations, an origin-specified specialty food distribution company based in Naples, Florida. "They can be any color-orange, blue, red and black-and shpe, from tiny smooth caps to ones that look like a lion's mane. Among chefs, these mushrooms foster so much creativity."
Creativity comes in the form of a maitake mushroom salad with asparagus and garlic shoots tossed with a truffle vinaigrette and offered at Levain restaurant in Minneapolis, or portobello, shiitake-dungeness crab egg rolls flavored with sweet onions, blue cheese and pecans and served with an asian dipping sauce at Sbicca American Bistro in Del Mar, California. How about a free-range chicken breast stuffed with foie gras, spinach and porcini "raviolis" and black truffle sauce prepared at Tapenade in La Jolla, California.
"Ten years ago mushrooms were mainly paired with meats, but now you can find them in almost anything including risotto, pasta, salads and many main dishes," says DiMaggio, "vegetarian entrees using mushrooms are especially popular. Plus people are becoming more and more sophisticated and demanding. They want more exotic items and they're challenging chefs to find them".
Consequently, many chefs are pulling out all the stops when it comes to searching out exotic mushroom varieties. To introduce these unusual fungi to customers and build on a medley of tastes and textures, many chefs will blend several specialty mushrooms together. "Our Chef's Mix- a blend of six different specialty mushrooms, some cultivated and some wild, is one of our biggest sellers", says DiMaggio.
Sometimes thiese wild varieties are blended with common white mushrooms to cut costs, but more often they are now culled from only exotic varieties, such as shiitake, crimini and oyster mushrooms.
a solid base of 0.40 to 0.50 will keep me working but I can safely relaz and wait for the bigger numbers : )
Here is a post from RB. We all know how BRVO share price responded to distribution of their product into grocery stores. IVFH has the potential to start distributing products to grocery stores, hospitals, institutions, and schools. ivFH has grown expotentially from its unique core business to date. Imagine what distribution in the the following area could bring
Article from November "Gourmet News" :
Food Innovations targets retail
Gourmet News, Nov 2004 by Wolfe, Anna
NAPLES, Fla.-Specialty food distributor Food Innovations Inc., based here, will start 2005 off by targeting upscale grocery stores with its origin-specific perishables, explained Joe DiMaggio, Jr., Food Innovations' founder, president and chief executive officer.
In July the specialty food distributor teamed up with U.S. Foodservice, a subsidiary of international food service giant Royal Ahold, for a national rollout of its origin-specific perishables to restaurants.
"We have never had a quality issue," added DiMaggio.
Upscale retailers have approached Food Innovations about the 5,000 products they represent, which include farm-raised poultry, foie gras, truffles, specialty lamb, 450 cheeses, seven origins of swordfish, and 50 types of sausages.
Crane Creek Markets, Boise, Idaho, and Brandt's Cheese Haus, Milwaukee, are a couple of Food Innovations retail clients.
"Chefs love to name the brand and region on the menu," he said. "Supermarkets are catching on." Food Innovations does not inventory the products, instead, they are shipped overnight.
good point stock I will fit that in to a suggestion I already formulated from everyones points
I agree. I was just stating that they look good. They can help if they are looking good combined with good news can help create momo. I personally am not a chart man dont play that game
The charts are once again looking good. Stockta is a good representation of that
http://www.stockta.com/cgi-bin/opinion.pl?symb=IVFH&num1=5&mode=stock
We are also close to news which will first come from the shareholders meeting and I expect the company will be doing a public pr very soon about the completed two year audit and filings with the SEC. With charts looking good and likely good news coming I expect a significant forward move soon
The stock has proven it trades well moving on small volume. Any significant buying pressure will move it forward quickly
Some bargain buying still exists now is the time imo
Burntiv
You made mention that you may be at the shareholders meeting. Are you able to attend? Once again thanks for posting the proxy.
If you are attending you can e-mail me at concertman_2001 at yahoo dot com
stock
I agree with you we are the reason the stock is moving. Our efforts in contacting the company. I am addressing this at the meeting rest assured.
Several people have not recieved their proxies. I spoke to chef Jon about this. He told me its not a problem for me I can still vote my shares at the meeting in person. The meeting isnt going to be the deadline for voting . I will stress on him the mailings are late and they need to allow ample time for everyone to get theoir votes in. Unless if a majority vote is already in and seals it I dont know.
Personally I think the company didnt calculate how much time it takes for a proxy to arrive. If you have your certs then the stock is already in your name therefore mailed directly to you. If not your broker gets the proxy and it is up to them to deliver it to you. Another shareholder called his broker today and they said they received the proxy and sent it today
stock
I know we will need pr's going forward. I was told by Chef Jon it was his plan. Why must you beat it to death..they gave us a shareholders meeting relax! smoke one and chill hehe

I will certainly ask the company to respond to that Debbie scam in a way that robsaia mentioned. Its near the top of my long list. I agree they have something to say. Its going to be a good last part of the year for IVFH imo. I will be here wed night to post about the meeting. If you dont hear from me I am selling in the morning lol JK
just last week the shareholders meeting had you saying its way better than a PR. Best news you heard in a long time. Now your stuck on a PR issue. Dont know what to make of you stock. Unless the stock is going up big you fill the board with mm manipulation or some other negative crap..getting old again! imo
yeah yeah and tnog is a whopping nickle please!! Its a pump and dump IVFH wont be that kind of stock thank heavens..The comparrison between the two makes me laugh..sorry
robsaia
i agree 100%. The lack of pr's is not an imediate problem. Lets focus on the shareholders meeting. That speaks volumes in pinkie/OTC land
I am excited!

he doesnt have any shares to sell he sold them all at 0.029 . Its funny how when some sell too soon their poor decision drives them to make a fool of themselves, lie and try to manipulate a stock. His effectiveness is 0 lol
stock
you really dont know what the company plans are as of yet. You made your point we need pr's moving forward. But beating the subject creates negativity. The company has a plan they may have been quiet for very good reason such as competition. They are giving us a shareholders meeting so chill. I expect them to start talking publicly soon first they will talk with the shareholders which I find this much better . They are making a big step in developing shareholder confidence and doing things right. I look for many good things to come in the short term
i agree I may read his suggestion of a PR about the debbie scam just as he wrote it if I get the chance
stock
I will make this one of my top suggestions and will continue to persue the subject moving forward
robsai
Good idea about how to now approach the Debbie phone scam. I will add this to the upper part of my questions/suggestions list
catani
I am too. I also felt there was a plan. Its a very strong management team I feel comfortable with them making decisions.
Once again this issue of pr's was brought up to chef Jon previously and he told me it was is plan to do ample pr's
iculooking
first of all reading financials will answer most of your questions. But i have composed some questions that will give us most of these answers. I am very interested in US Foodservice and Harvest Pak.
Secondly noone clears a company of wrong doing in a scam when they were not under investigation to begin with. the sec made a pr stating how they uncovered the scam who the culprits were and the sentences. I dont think there is much more to say about the company other than they were a victim.
ok stock Its on my agenda!
yes i know this stock. The company was not ready to begin to move this stock and promote their company. I am sure they have their reasons. Chef Jon apologized for this and said he will now talk. He also told me he plans on keeping us properly updated. I will hold him to that promise and will certainly discuss this issue at some point soon. If time allows at the meeting I will fit it in if not I will do it in a follow up phone call.
Thanks
point well taken stock about falling from very high levels since the scam. But the recovery is underway and we made good strides on no news at all. The only info is what we ourselves brought to the boards from the company. I think the recovery is about to pick up steam. The company will talk next week. If the news is good as I expect it to be and am led to believe we will recover nicely
stock
I certainly will make them aware of your concerns about pr's. Likley not at this meeting. I will spend my question time finding things out about the company. This is more an issue as time moves forward. I wouldnt compare a tnog to ivfh in any manner though. I hope we never trade the wat tnog does its a traders stock period. Ivfh will be an investors stock
Stock
I am not sure how many questions I personally will be able to ask But certainly I will try to get all the important info. Let me know what you need to know
iculooking
exactly!
stock if you dont trust it will hold gains you should start selling. personally I trust it will hold its gains likley in stages. Again if you dont then take your profit when the taking is good..just a suggestion you seem to be quite a loose cannon
Heck The fluctuation hasnt bothered me at all and the next move up isnt going to bother me either : )
iculooking
Chef Jon is in charge of that. He has already told me he plans on doing a good job keeping investors informed. The timing of a PR currently will be the companys decision . I will of course impress this issue upon them as very important moving forward and very important to maintain gains.
Currently I am interested most in what our total debt is , how we wil pay off our debt. Reveunes/profits and forward guidance.
I agree and I think the buyers are baiting the sellers in last couple days on a very small scale though. I look for the buying to now pick up!
I disagree stock. The stock came from sub penny not all that long agon. It has experienced 300 to 400% gains . I expect the next leg up to start very soon mabe tomorrow certainly next week into the following week. We will move up and base higher soon!
Chef Jon told me today that at the meeting my questions will be answered. He apologized for not answering them all in the past but was unable to at that time. He told me bring all questions to the shareholders meeting. I will book a train tonight and will certainly be there
