Important for everyone to notice this. This article popped up a couple weeks ago. On Monday this week, Hansen's announced the deal with Coke.
It goes back to our discussion that the big boys ALWAYS know! I don't have a problem with it do you? So, whatever Kenny tells us today, you can rest assured it will be VERY tepid compared to what the whispers in the ear were.
http://www.thestreet.com/story/10438660/1/hansen-naturals-risk-tilted-to-upside.html?puc=_reuters&cm_ven=REUTERS&cm_cat=Free&cm_pla=Feed&cm_ite=Feed&puc=reuters&
That does not preclude however that he may, could, would, and should take any information in the public domain and elaborate on it, or present it in a different light.
Take for instance, the Trademarks of El Jefe or Violator in the domain for weeks. He can elaborate on the implications of those brands when introduced and who they may be applied to. Or Live Nation and what the implications of a worldwide deal will lead to as it was mentioned in the CC in August. Or even talking about where he believes the company should be trading at in price based on his industry peers or where he believes they could be bought out or would consider an offer to be bought out. These are ALL differing ways of taking the same thing out in the public for weeks and months and isolating their ramifications.
Dance around it all you want. That's what break out meetings are for. One on ones to get the grind right from the top.
I'd be more concerned about who says we're coming in for 5 million shares to take it to $5 or $10 and then wants a cut of the deal when it is consummated.
Somehow I doubt you'll ever see that in a press release nor will anyone here complain about it if they don't.
Well, except for the ones who have .27 and .28 up the day it prints .60 before lunch.
But, as we all know, he only had 30 minutes! lmao
But the real message gets across in the one on one break outs that go on all day.
Somehow Dorothy, I don't think it matters which way the wind blows. 30 minutes with what he has to say can bring just one stroke of a buy button that will take the stock to levels in a matter of seconds that 671 people couldn't even get out of the way to allow to happen over 15 months.
Nope, we're not in Kansas anymore.
Take this little tidbit to heart. On October 8, 1998, HANS hit a pull back low of .38 split reflected from it's all time low of 6 cents three years prior. It would mark the last pull back the stock would have in the recession of 1998 before it staged its "monstrous" to over $400. If you go back and look, you'll see the same kind of sideways action for quite awhile with the same kinds of volumes DKAM has been having.
In a related note, enormous distribution deal for HANS today with Coca Cola. The deals just keep coming.
I have to believe out of 1500-2000 of them tomorrow that somebody will leave with a BUY feeling in mind. And they will have already heard 1998 of their friends get told about it before they even have a chance to utter a word.
Damn mkt as you say has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with DKAM's huge financial windfall going forward nor does it have anything to do with the prospects for 8000 other companies.
It just proves once again that millions of people have their money in the wrong stocks.....again.
I have no sympathy for any of them.
I noticed a few of them aren't posting anymore. So we were right. They got dumped out of DKAM so they could hold on to the other crap going loads upon loads lower.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!
Apparently, we have a contest going.
This is stunning.
OMG!
Gave me goosebumps.
(Won't tell you what it did to Rilo!)
News: Trump Super Premium Vodka Holiday Program to Support Wounded Veterans and Their Families at Walter Reed Army Medical Center by Contributing to the Walter Reed Society Oct. 06, 2008 Business Editors/Food/Beverage Editors WILTON, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 06, 2008--Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd. (OTC BB: DKAM.OB) (Drinks Americas or the "Company) and Donald Trump announced today that a portion of the proceeds from Trump Super Premium Vodka sales from November 2008 through July 4th, 2009 will be donated to the Walter Reed Society, which provides housing and resources for returning hospitalized veterans and their families while they are recovering at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The Trump Organization and Drinks Americas will participate through fund raising efforts, a direct contribution by Drinks Americas for every bottle purchased and consumer contributions to the Walter Reed Society. Patrick Kenny said, "It is an honor to participate in assisting the Walter Reed Society with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Trump Super Premium Vodka being donated for every bottle sold between November, the Holidays and through July 4th." Donald Trump said, "I am pleased that Drinks Americas is launching a holiday program for Trump Vodka that is geared to support such a noble cause for our American Heroes. Our wounded service men and women and their families deserve our support and gratitude. When consumers purchase Trump Vodka they should also know they are in a small way participating in supporting our wounded veterans and their families." About the Walter Reed Society The Walter Reed Society was organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes in 1996 for the benefit of Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) and its educational, treatment and research activities. Through the generous support of corporate and private donors, a special fund was established in 2004 to support servicemen and women being treated at WRAMC due to service in Iraq, Afghanistan and surrounding areas. The Operation Iraqi Freedom/ Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) Support Fund is used to assist service members and/or their families when support provided through Invitational Travel Orders (ITO), does not meet the immediate need during the patient's treatment at WRAMC. Funding is approved for assistance on a case by case review of the applications and a personal meeting with a WRS representative and it is considered a grant. Hundreds of wounded warriors and their family members have received assistance from this fund. Help with travel, lodging and subsistence expenses for family members of wounded warriors who are patients at Walter Reed Army Medical Center is a frequent need. To date the Walter Reed Society has provided more than $1-million in financial aid to soldiers and their families.

Video has been changed! Somebody is working on it.
Fifty Cent is missing. Whooops! C'mon! Dat was the best part with the hunnies and the production quality.
Dre and Snoop "Doc in da back sippin on yak."
Stay tuned! They will get it right and clean up the clarity.
The train runs on alcohol. Congress is inking a deal right now! lmao
But now 51. Grow baby grow!
Well, that's another story.
:)
We have gnomes and trolls hiding under the bridge as I suspected.
When I found that video, it had 20 views. Now there are 34. Yet three of us are talking about it.
Like we've said before, many, many , many are in the shadows watching everything. I won't say what I believe they are doing. The fact is they are there.
Doesn't matter how many there are. 90% of them also won't have their shares when this train leaves the station.
We going into the merchandise game.
We just brought the Success Distilled trademark forward to include:
Golf Umbrellas, Golf Shirts, Towels, Balls, Bags, etc.
I'm sure we'll be iconing the same things.
Especially since we're about to announce a golf icon?
Fifty Cent Fifty Cent Fifty Cent Fifty Cent Fifty Cent Fifty Cent Fifty Cent Fifty Cent
Damn, you many times I got to do this to get to $24 million in profit??
Fifty Cent Fifty Cent
Uggh
Good tags. Now drop in a few graphics and we have a good solid starting point.
ChampKenny is 19. I know PK has like 5 kids. Probably one of them.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You ready?
First off, I'm guessing we have Fifty Cent as El Jefe which we already have a trademark for.
Sit down and enjoy the show!
Somebody asked about media? We're just getting warmed up.
Yes, alot of media blitzing is coming. Kenny will address this more in detail and is happy to answer any qestions about the advertising. The deal with Dre is with Interscope. Interscope absorbs all the marketing costs to promote all products across their label. They hae over 30 marketing types that have attended the meetings and there is a set plan in place to market Dre right into the next icon and the next one after that.
As for Kid, a list of planned "beer parties" and concerts throughout 2009 is all I know of at this point, and he bears the cost of that out of his equity share.
As far as the Violator deal, that we'll hear more about. But when you look at all the companies it touches and what Live Nation does, that is a worldwide media machine all by itself.
No not a dumb question. There are a number of "Standards" to listing on another exchange. You can Google the Amex and Nasdaq requirements. They are clearly listed. We can argue the merits of either with a thieving Specialist on one and a host of market makers doing the same on the other. They just have more visibility and credibility. All revolving around market cap, shareholders of record, market cap, and profitability. One of the biggies is Shareholder Equity. With Paid-In Capital at $32 mil and Accumulated Deficit at $33 mil, ANY, I repeat ANY profit posted reverses this inverse correlation.
In easy speak, I recently pointed to the effects of Dre and Kid being actual profit dollars once they hit the shelves and could easily reach $24 million or more. When they reach net $4 million, or about 5 cents a share, then the Shareholder Equity minimum is reached for listing.
But that is down the road. When I don't know. But it is coming.
Boston, I also will not get caught on the exact timing of things. As an example, let's assume you were working a big deal and because of travel and commitments, you didn't land that deal until a day or two after the quarter ended. The whole world thinks you missed your quarter at $1.1 against $1.2 from just what you reported 6 weeks prior. But you know you just changed the face of the company for good.
I firmly believe we will see Dre in November about the time of the first single being released off Detox. We should see a natural progression of cognac and the sparkling lines going into Christmas and through the new year. We'll have pre sale news and we'll have initial launch numbers and follow through channel replenishing. We'll have exisitng agreements with additional orders. We'll have new agreements. Who knows, maybe another deal or two like Israel.
This one cannot at this point even begin to tell anyone what the company will do from quarter to quarter going out 3 or 4 or to the exact instant we post a penny or two or more profit and then even more the following quarter.
The point really becomes what Kenny has said all along; critical mass. Let them talk about you and smile as it is all good.
We have seen stocks over the past 10 years have meteoric rises from the pennies on lower than expected losses, or making the moving from negative earnings to positive earnings. Many of those happened because smart players figured out that a good quarter was not the ONLY good quarter. There owuld be many more to come.
No, it doesn't matter when. The fact is we are talking about a company doing just what I talked about and the ones being rewarded on Wall Street are doing exactly the opposite.
The first thing you should realize and "your lesson" for today is that Mr. Kenny does not need to "come around" nor does he need to offer "more clarity; more explanation; more credibility."
He is a 25+ year veteran of the beverage industry. He has the likes of the founder of SoBe and the ex CEO of Bloomingdales who have put up $$$millions on that credibility alone and in the credibility of his business plan. That credibility NOW clearly displays the likes of the TWO biggest in Diageo and Constellation following HIS lead in iconic branding with Diddy and Chesney.
No, the lack of credibility comes from the starting point. As an OTC, the credibility is crap as CEOs are notorious for spinning webs of implications in how they use the English language and how they can scam shareholders. The further lack of credibility shines far greater from those people who promulgate the scam by living within the depths of the OTC looking to undercut any REAL story that comes along. It's no different than the Paparrazi who spend their days and minutes tearing down any real success in the world. 99% of their efforts all surrounding rumor and innuendo at best.
And I can't help but silently, and in grand fashion, laugh my ass off at those who attempt to do just that. And at those who "call to question" the use of "at the end of the day." There is a vision in my mind that just won't go away.
At the end of the day, every party begins. A glorious party it is. All those invited are inside having the time of their lives. A host of back alley types who haven't seen a shower in days stand outside the window steaming up the glass. Up comes three or four more who just got off shift at the toll booth and McDonalds. They come upon an argument of whether everybody's glass inside is half full or half empty. No one inside has even had a thought as to which matters. They know they have all they need to drink and if it runs out, they will get more. Yet those outside just can't wait for them to run out so they can talk about the implications of such an event.
The point is, not one of them outside has a glass to compare the process, they are dying of thirst, and even if they did have a glass or were invited to join, they wouldn't even have a "pot" for the proverbial end result.
Thanks Ore and on the prognostication front "when confronted" I would hazard there is more here and there. But also some misses.
A biggie. Called two increasing quarters in a row and that fell short $1.2 and then $1.1. The important thing is our core business has evened out nicely. Any tweeks there, and it appears there will be, will send that number higher also.
-But we got Kid.
-We got the CC PR.
-We still have Dre.
-Israel is a brand licensing agreement. Russia is a contract and both will ship largely. The toll booth brigade would want you to believe that Israel will die. On the contrary, it will lead us to more deals and to untold levels down the road.
-The insiders are not selling any shares of size until the company is bought out. This one goes a long way back.
So that's 5 for 6.
The next six I'll lay claim to are:
-The next BIG deal is Violator. I can find no, I repeat NO, contrarian information to lead us in any other direction. Especially since Kenny told us in August it was coming.
-The company is about to go profitable. I can not find any contrarian information in this regard either.
-The company will not have any further need to do any financing now that they have the Israel deal.
-The company will be announcing a share repurchase plan.
-The company's Shareholder Equity will move over $4 million and they will reach the price minimum to qualify for another exchange. They will make that move.
-The company will be bought out for an exponentially higher price than it is currently trading at.
I will add a *13th one. A majority of you will not be here then to see them all come about. And that is OK. The deep pocket boys have got to get their shares somewhere. They don't bid. They just buy as it is all at a deep discount.
That will be 12 for 13.
Put me in the game now Coach?
That is correct Coop. This is a conference for high profile, high net worth individuals, hedge funds, and institutional players looking for the next great opportunity.
Kenny is first on the list. They will have all day to chew on this thing knowing an even more detailed conference call will be the following morning that many of them will be tuning in to. At .25, these guys will have more than ample opportunity to set up whatever run on the stock they choose to when they decide to load up. Or not. Right?
I checked today and attendance for the event is expected to be between 1500-2000. I guess the number of multi gazillionaires in this market is changing by the minute.
Please don't make me babysit the amount of buying that may or may not occur on Tuesday after he presents, or during the day, or before the conference call, or even after.
It is really getting old.
Uhhhhhh no. PR was prepared by Maxim if I had to guess. It's covered by saying Universal. They are bigger than Dre, you know? Also no mention of Israel and going profitable.
Have to save something to wow them with.
Also no mention of Atlantic Records with Kid anywhere.
These things are usually done for the right reasons.
And DKAM gets the FIRST presenting slot in their sector. Before anybody spends any money.

Aggregate growth for DKAM is now 756%.
Sales were $1.6 million in 2006. Sales to mid of 2009 at $12.1 million.
But only going to be this low for awhile.
Dre and Kidd Rock sales will blow these numbers out of the water.
That is $1.4 million more a year in sales. That just jumped our sales base to $12.1 million from $4.5 million.
Just think, the first order of Dre or Kidd that goes out, just completed a triple in sales.
Just a reminder. Sales were $1.6 million in 2006.
No beverage company is growing this quickly.
Israeli deal gives Drinks $75 million.
Just needed to see it in print again.
One of how many was it? 7 or 8 of them?
If you don't see a PR today detailing the exact time and details of the conference call, then I'll leave for good.
If it does pop up, AND Kenny addresses on the conference call that there will be no further capital raise of any kind for the company because of the Israeli deal, then you will leave for good.
Pretty fair odds wouldn't you say? I only need one unknown event to say adios. You need two.
Start packing your backpack and take out the coloring books. You won't need them anymore.
Whoops! We just made $21 million.
The company recently secured a master distributor dealer agreement in Israel expected to result in $75 million over the next 15 years.
That's $5 million a year instead of $3.6 million.
Our sales just exploded more than 100% since we are producing for that order now.
And definitely going profitable.
Right in HEDGE FUND USA. Beat. Beat. Tick. Tick.

If you guys rub the bottle real fast you might just get your wish! If anything, you'll at least get to stare at a scantily clad genie for awhile whose wish is your every command.
Beats staring at a scantily clad asking price whose wish is that you sit on the bid and stare at everyone else buying when it takes off.
And also well said! I guess this is where that "Moderator" tag comes in handy. Should we go right to Round 2 or skip all that and zoom straight to Arbitration?
At least the cause continues to be worth fighting for.
:)
Awesome Caution. Perfectly said.
Thank you for the dramatic dissertation on the merits of "free" Level 2 quotes. I am very surprised you haven't popped up to tell us about the trade that crossed at .026 back on July 2nd. While it was busted within an hour, I just know it needs to be plugged into a program you're using to track old news.
By the way. "All the selling" is old news. Once the trade crosses; ancient history. Yet there just happened to be loads of ample $$$$ there once again waiting to gobble it up. I'm on Ameritrade now and for the life of me, I can't find the button that says, "Sell now dipstick so the stock can run higher without you."
Must be yet another glitch.
There are penny stocks out there that are trading at 0.024 $ with a Net Income of 0.012 per share and a Qtrly. Growth of 13000% but still no movement.
That would be a P/E of 2.
Name them please and for the purposes of this exercise and to find the root of the mojo accounting, I nor any of the moderators will consider it off-topic.
I say "them" since you did pluralize it with "stocks."
Glad to see you chose this way to share your excitement at Drinks getting in front of 1000+ deep pocket investors who are attending this conference while there is a $700 bil "end of the world" vote going on.
Life goes on and I'll wait up for my list.
I believe I can see why the CC is delayed. Obviously so all these 1000+ Buy Side investors can hear the story that we already know.
Would be a shame if some of them have been the ones sitting on the bids grabbing all those shares.
http://www.maximgrp.com/growthconf/companies.php
Great news! We got rid of one or maybe two people today with maybe 120000 shares that could stand in the way of any dramatic move higher. They don't get to enjoy it. They can now breathe a sigh of relief like all those others in the past few days and even weeks that did the same thing knowing the stock will perform to its full potential without them in it.
They can each join hands and go participate in the overall market meltdown that we as a recession proof stock fuel's our cause to go higher. If that doesn't work, then maybe hug a tree or better yet, figure out who has been waiting to gobble up all those shares that were so gladly accepted at such a cheap price.
Maybe they sold because the Dre products haven't come yet. Or maybe because Kenny said we'd have a conference call in 10 days and it has been 14 days and still no call. Or my personal favorite. The company just announced news that assures their complete 100% viability for many years to come and assures that the company will not need any further financing of any kind. Where most stocks would go up well over 100% or more, this one got nothing. In fact, it backed up.
Here's a thought. Oil has dropped almost $55 a barrel. But gas has only dropped about 50 cents a gallon. It should be at least 50 cents more cheaper everywhere. I say you should stay at home, don't work, don't go anywhere until it gets to the price YOU think it should be at.
Then life will be complete. Right?
