we still have a few small time sellers. it amazes me selling on news that a pinkie is having a shareholders meeting lol
Especially one that has touted expotential growth, and has shown little to no dilution which I verfified yesterday. one that has big names in their corner not just big named vendors but big named management in the industry
stock
I think we are going to be very happy. Looks like I should be able to go to the meeting as well. This stock is wound tight good news and it will rock!
iculooking
i see you are pumping away on other boards which i have no problem with. but you are taking a couple of my posts from this board word for word. I prefer if you are going to quote me dont do it under your handle
thanks!

I specifically asked chef Jon if a pr would be issued about this shareholders meeting. He replied a proxy would be sent to all shareholders within a few days. I took this as a no regarding a PR to discuss the shareholders meeting. Whats key also in our conversation is this.
I asked how the audit was going. He said very well and I detected enthusiam from the response. I asked if the move to the otc.bb was still in the plans. He said yes no plans have changed at all! I closed in saying I will take the shareholders meeting as a time to get all my questions answered and let you now get back to work......
catani
I have thought about a buyout as well. and yes it would be too soon for my likeings as well. Although we need to see terms first. You can bet the common will get allot more than 0.06
Anyway all speculation . I expect some very good things to come here soon.
robsaia
Now is the time you put everything together that you have learned. You can buy in cheap now get a boat load of shares and if the news is good make very big money. Or miss out and pay much higher. Or the news is bad and the 0.06 stock falls to 0.04 mabe lol
You get my drift I am very happy to be locked and loaded right now. the upside potential versus downside potential..risk/versus reward syas buy strong or hold strong!
robsaia
you mention EAG. Eag is not a pinkie or even an otc.bb company for that matter. Please give me some examples of a pinkie or otc company that put together a shareholders meeting in NYC to give bad news lol...I dont think you have a one because they dont exist. Common sense tells me this will be a very positive move by the company. A pinkie company would not drag everyone to NYC for bad news lol I appreciate you trying to be more level about this news but I wouldnt compare a pinkie shareholder meeting to a major market companys shareholder meeting. This is clearly a move to get larger investors in this stock. Remember management is also very well trained in financials. Chef Joe took his last company from tens of thousands per month to 1.3m a month in revenue with 90 clients. He has a much wider market here and their goals are so much higher!
Of course i dont know whats on it but we will soon. Chef Jon said no plans have changed and the audit is going very well. I personally get no impressions of anything negative I think its a great move by the company and they are ready to talk.
This stock is going to move up soon : )
We should get mail within a week with details on the shareholders meeting. I will be taking a train into the city likley spend the day there.
You bet they have something to tell us. Its definetly better than a PR. They have answered our requests better than I dreamed of. I thanked chef Jonathan very much and will also contact chef Joe to thank him as well.
Investors will be going out of their way and at a decent expense to be at that meeting. They will be laying out their plans : )
Stock
I agree with your posts. I am very excited about this. The meeting is going to take place that was directly from chef Jonathan himself and he returned my call with this news. These guys are exceptional! They must have some good stuff to tell us wouldnt drag our butts to New York unless they have good news and are after real investors like myself
He said I would get that info in the mail as all shareholders will. He said the mailing should go out within a few days
stock
thats the impression I got. They are prepared to talk but not until the meeting. I think they are making a move to get the stronger invesotrs by having this meeting in New York. I took this as excellent news. Not too many otc and pinkie stocks give their shareholders a meeting in New York. If good news is given there we will be the first to be able to add to our positions . I will be prepared to do just that with a phone call
burntiv
sounds great to me I will definetly be there if it isnt during my already made vacation plans.
Chef Jonathan just returned my call. There will be a proxy going out in the next few days to all shareholders inviting them to a company shareholder meeting in New York City. I plan on attending if it doesnt conflict with my vacation plans. Chef Jonathan assured me all was going well with the audit and the company has made no change of plans, the move to the otc.bb is their focus.
I am telling the cryers to sell. heck if you dont like what you see now is the time to get out. the share price is still decent
myself I will wait for the gains of either tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands : )
I put a call into chef Jonathan today but he was in a meeting will try tomorrow morning if he doesnt call me back today
Just spoke to tranfer agent
As of midnight last night

excellent idea and thanks!

I wasnt able to read it asks for subscription info. Can you post a different link or copy paste?
This was found on the ihub. many similar posts like this one.
I have to agree the way the stock trades, north of 25 cents will come easily as long as the news is good which I fully expect it to be. Exactly what the level the stock can hold solidly is yet to be determined we will need to read all the financials and see a couple more Q's moving forward to get a better idea. But certainly the way the stock trades a pop well above the 20's is quite possible.
As far as 100m in revenues Chef Joe himself said it would take about 5 years. The beauty of this is we will see increases every single quarter. Once again has the long term written all over it as long as we see they are growing while keeping the os in check. This looks to be a growth story quarter over quarter.
Heres the crap that iculooking is spreading around. talk about a flat out liar!

IVFH, hearing that the filings are coming out tomorrow or Thrusday, if so, it will double to triple overnight. Huge bargain here, very very VERY oversold. I laugh at some of the people dismissing this stock. Very honest management, no competitors, low OS, way oversold. Such a bargain here at .06.
robsaia
I think you do need to get moving on your dd. From what I understand the audit will be done soon. Definition of soon I cant put to a time frame. I can guess a PR is coming within weeks two possibly three. I do know for a fact once completed and things are organized ready for the SEC we will get a PR. As the days pass this news of a coming PR will circulate
I hope you continue to share any dd you get. I have found that I get an abundance of info from the boards therefore I try to share everything I get as well. Even though in the process I run into many undesirable people.
I agree about the European company that has had success. Truely using their own trucks is far more expensive and I cant believe it is ever more timely and cant be as fresh. Logistics is the game here and it appears IVFH has the right management to tackle that task. I wonder what their loss is do to refridgeration failure or truck breakdown
I read your posts on other boards your pumping the heck out of this stock and actually pumping beyond reality yet on this board all negativity...
Just imagine if in fact the audit and financials yield proof of what Chef Joe tells us in this article. All indications show it will imo . This is a time to gather your position as strong as you want it. Hold your position until the move and until all financials are read. Or buy after financials if all is well and pay so much more..thats the gamble. To me selling shares here isnt a wise option imo!
Sometimes its good to read the old news. Reminds you of why you invested. This is a great read and I firmly believe we will see the results of whats contained in this news soon. You can buy in now cheap or pay alot more later when financials and audits verify what Chef Joe speaks of here. As far as their management its quite hard to question its strength and ability imo

Read the past PR's !!!! Even EMERIL is on this.
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM-NATION

Explosive. Some have a vested interest for this not to blow up andhave caused PR's not to show on some sites. Shorts will burn here. Buy and Hold for Mega Long Term Gains.
Potential and Overview:
A chef at a four-star restaurant wants to order day-boat Alaskan Black Cod. They want it fresh and they want it fast. Here's how it works- the chef or restaurant manager contacts a local vendor, or a trusty fisherman that can provide the goods. The time between the initial order being placed, the fish caught, transported and served, the Alaskan Black Cod can be as much as a week old. Chefs make-do because they had to, and patrons make do because they don't know any better. What Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. has done through its wholly owned
subsidiary Food Innovations, Inc. is cut the distribution time to
nearly one-seventh of the current standard of perishable delivery. The company has also dramatically reduced the number of hands that touch the product, and has the ability to deliver some of the highest quality perishable items to dining establishments within 24 to 48 hours of the initial order being placed.
We eliminate middle distribution," said the company's CEO Chef Joe DiMaggio, Jr. "We have a unique three-point triangulation model that delivers quality, chef-driven perishables direct from the boat or farm to the customers within 24 to 48 hours." The three-pronged approach for the delivery of top-notch perishables reduces distribution time, dramatically extends shelf life, and provides an invaluable service to dining establishments across the country. According to DiMaggio, the company will see a significant "ramp up of growth within the next 60 to 90 days. We're looking to hit milestones where we're growing 2000 percent every quarter."
Reasons To Consider This Stock:
1.No Real Competition: The company's current product offering
represents an almost unchallenged $108 million annual revenue
opportunity within five years. Even the most high-end restaurants rely on scattered, local merchants for fresh perishables. At the most, local merchants have access to 15 percent of the perishables available to IVFH. "There is no competition for Food Innovations," DiMaggio said. "With us, (chefs/restaurant managers) have to make one call, and they can have over 500 farms and over 1800 sources of origin specific species of fish."
2.Sizable Growth Projections: Management has projected significant sequential quarterly growth, and DiMaggio said the company plans to train anywhere from 75 to 300 new salespeople per-month. "The market share is huge in this industry in the U.S. We're looking for at least a 5 percent to 7 percent share in any city we go into in the U.S."
3.End-to-End Solution: Rather than dealing with several middle-men to have their perishables delivered, chefs and restaurateurs can have the most exclusive, origin specific perishables delivered to them with just one phone call. "We eliminate all of that middle distribution," DiMaggio said. "We're taking (fish) 24 hours off the boat, and we get
the top 1 percent of that catch. The fish then goes into a Fed Ex box, and the next day it's right in the restaurant."
4.Sound Management: "This is a chef-to-chef driven company,"
DiMaggio said. From European Master Chef DiMaggio, himself, who had taken Freshnex.com from a $16k per-month company to $1.4 million per-month with only 90 active accounts, to the company's COO, Chef Z. Zackary Ziakas, who has been a chef for 12 years, and worked for Fed Ex for 14 years, the company's top-brass are all schooled in culinary arts, logistics and finances. "Every single service person we have is a certified chef," DiMaggio said. "I consider everyone in our company top-brass when it comes to our management team."
5.Piggy-Back Profitability: By partnering with major broad liners such as US Foodservice( http://www.usfoodservice.com ), which recently selected IVFH as a subcontractor to handle over 3,000 perishable products, IVFH benefits by utilizing their partners' sales force, and has the ability to tap into their partners' client base, ensuring exponential growth from each individual partner that the company aligns themselves with.
6.Chef-Driven Company: The high-end restaurant and food services
industry is as close-knit a community as there could be. Chefs from competing restaurants, and other dining establishments have an unsaid relationship with each other. The underlying commonality between them is good food. Word of mouth goes a long way. And with the influential connections in the food industry that the upper-management team at IVFH has, a general consensus among top-notch chefs that IVFH offers the best possible solution is imminent
Conclusion:
Food is big business. There aren't too many publicly traded players out there who cater to the niche that IVFH has developed its business model around. The company's management team has decades of experience both in
and out of the kitchen, and the company has notable relationships with US Foodservice, FedEx, Airborne Express, Pilot Airfreight, several major airlines and a wide network of distributors. The company's sales and gross margin projections are worth noting, as is its projected exponential quarter-over-quarter growth. Competition for the company is scant, and management is committed to growing the company to become the standard for the delivery of truly "fresh" food to restaurants and dining establishments throughout the country.
Once again during this news vacuum and low volume days the mm appear to be holding this up. Letting sellers sell in the low to mid 5's yet buying over 0.06. One small buy jumped it up big this has been going on for the last week or so. mm knows whatever shares it has will be sold for much higher in the near future.
I just dont see anyone getting much better prices than what has been offered.Certainly no large amount cheaper. mm will keep them before selling them cheap to someone
Hal
No question the real story unfolds in the filings. We may get a glimpse into those filings very soon now. With the audit coming to a close soon the company will give us a pr. Hopefully they tell us enough that sends the stock to its next level while we await the filings.
Once again I trust my instincts that I have in people because they have made me a great deal of money consistently throughout my business career. I see no exceptions regarding my impressions of IVFH management. These guys are much too bright then to go through all this effort to become reporting if the news is bad ,
We will move up and I bet the MM knows it. They have been holding this stock up recently. Small buys and it has went up. They certainly held it at 0.06 when they could have easily dropped it lower. I dont see the mm giving any real cheap shares away here
robsaia
you sound more and more like an investor with very little on the line yet hoping to add at cheap prices lol
I wish you luck generally speaking but hope you dont get to buy any cheaper than recent prices : )
Personally I dont think anyone will get a large position with a basis any cheaper than current levels..at best..buyers are there my friend they will take them before your 3.5 cent order unless mabe its a flash oneday and you have a 10k order in :)
all in my opinion
Just tired of hearing the same ones cry never any optimism no dd just tears.
no.. no more pr's ever you better sell quick!
doesnt appear to be many sellers left...in the fives anyway. MM raised the ask kept the bid low. Selling here when audit news is on the horizon is a big mistake imo and leaves me wondering why in the heck did they buy in the first place. That little momo crowd we had has to be about all gone as well as the uniformed buyers, stock is now back in the hands of the serious investors I assume. If noone sells they will move it up later this week. I want to see if the bid hits sixes and sevens if some sell. mm may have to test higher ground now to get some action
If Chef Joe and company truely do have some great news coming our way I would think they would talk within their inner circle. If thats the case I expect this stock to hold up just fine while things develop such as completion of the audit and sec filings
Just a hope but its reasonable. I am sure the word leaks out to some if good stuff is coming
I realize this, my comment was regarding the rest of the posts he gave us regarding management and aditionally what my dd has shown about them. As far as management I am quite happy with whom we have
those who hope to buy in much cheaper just may miss the boat : )
burntinv
points well taken though. We certainly have an excellent management team. One that has been assembled looking for the greater success. Which can be achieved by building a unique, and massive food distributution network. While the share price isnt on their minds from day to day you can bet a higher share price is part of their plan. Millions of dollars are potential for the management if successful. Auditing their books for two years and moving to the otc.bb is their first step in achieving a successful stock. imo they have strong enough financials to make that move be worth its effort and cost.
Stock
"They are moving to OTCBB for reason and if their business sucks they would have given up the idea of going agressive and waste months of time on SEC and responds to idiots like us who contine to send emails and expect reply . "
lol... "responds to idiots like us" Certainly admirable on their part!
Have a great weekend all I am off to Atlantic City. Guess I just cant get my fill of gambling haha
One point on the OS. I dont expect it to stay at this level none of these stocks do. We know there is a note outstanding, relatively small) and they likley will issue shares to key people and mabe key accounts. It doesnt appear there have been many shares issued for reasons of operating cash so thats good. As long as the growth supports it we will be fine. We dont need to buy expensive companies just align with the right partners and products. Growth should be organic moving forward if management operates and grows this in a most efficient manner
robsaia i see the point you were making and its a good one. We must stick to the facts as they have been presented make assumptions and predictions based on those facts and certainly in our own individual opinions. Since there is always plenty left to the unknown in penny, pinkie, and OTC land/ actually in the major markets as well. Only difference here is the gains and loses are much more radical!
good luck to all My goal from here on in is to stay away from conflict (getting better at it but that Italian temper takes a big effort to temper), support this company as long as it deserves supporting, and hope like hell as is well lol..
Rember it will be a bumpy road times filled with doubt and uncertainty. In those times if the reasons you bought are still there and nothing has changed then you hang tight. Those times are also the best times to average down if your position is not already complete. Certainly if you are on the outside those times make great entry points
There will be surprises I just hope they are good ones!
This post strikes me as a bit funny. Any company on the pinks or otc can change management or have their os increase. And there are no guarantees with any of them that it will be a good long term investment so I really dont understand your post. This can be said about every single one in this arena!
Basically this is gambling land and will always remain as such. Any stock under 0,10 and higher has many uncertainties. You take in the info that is presented, you do your dd to the fullest extent and you lay your money down where you think you have the best shot.
I have layed my money down on IVFH for many reasons that have been discusses over and over . I trust the audit is being completed and wont be too much longer. why? Because chef Joe said " it took a bit longer than we expected" A bit longer ok not alot longer. I also expect the reason they are going through this grueling process is because they are indeed experiencing "expotential growth" with "very little competition" all quotes from chef Joe. The company will make the move to the otc.bb and will work on recovering their stock price. They will do this in a time frame that they set and that meets their plan not ours
Additionally we are all aware of chef Joes reputation and his staff are educated top chefs chefs certainly heavy hitters. I assume I covered 5 good reasons here and noone can take away the risks associated with a penny stock and nowhere can you find the potential to make hundreds of thousands of dollars on a stock with relatively small investment other than penny land.
The best time to buy is when others sell. The best time to buy is when fear is in the air again. I already bought close to 1.3m shares so I cant buy anymore. I do think patient buying is the right move at least for a couple to few weeks. No guarantees there either the company could release news Monday.
Once again I doubt anyone will be able to get a large position here with a basis much under 0,05 if they have not begun. the stock will move in either direction on low buying or selling until this train gets rollin imo
ok ok i sent a second e-mail. Lets see what happens
I am doing all I can to get a pr other than bring a bat down there and force them : )
I sent chef Joe another e-mail and will call Chef Jon next week
lol ok i will ask him the last two questions. From the PR it appears he sees the company as one that can go from being small (still in developmental stages) to a giant food distributor. If they are successful I am sure the stock involved is what makes it attractive. Likley the relatively low increase in OS versus growth was due to shares issued to Chef Jon, the chefs, and big clients perhaps.
PS. The fighting stops for me here I just lose it when i see the word manipulation in every post. words that we are going down. Heck I am working hard to bring new investors, suggest ones in higher average down, this talk i see here is counter productive but again last on it for me let him say manipulation 100 times. Actually it appears the MM is doing an ok job so far..but we will see. My common sense tells me while they will shake out all the shares they can they also wont want to give too many away in the 2 to 4 cent range. again we will see. I once again stress I am in long i rather see my paper worth 259k then 50k but it is just paper. I honestly wasnt all that excited when we were moving near ten cents because I knew i was in long and those gains arent real until i sell
