I really like the description of the DD process undertaken, screening, site visits, meetings, tasting, and ultimately, taking the action of buying 5% of the company. That's a recommendation!!
Thanks JGL!
Born, thanks. IVFH as a quality company is attracting smart small cap investors.
Thanks, then it's a new development to see that someone is interested in paying the premium. I suspect this will become a more frequent occurrence.
yes, I'm wondering about the same thing. never seen it before either..2500 now 7500
Nice indeed...a smart microcap investor and a demonstration of confidence in IVFH!
I've been here since the days it went from a few cents to .18 (pre-split). At that time company wasn't anywhere near what it has become today in terms of cleaning things up and monthly increases in sales, revenue growth, i.e. great fundamentals. IMO the stock price has been deeply undervalued and remains great value here (.018 pre-split) with a long way to go..
Amazing!! We certainly will sooner than later! zoom zoom.. :)
Thanks Geodan and JustGoLong for yesterdays information. I liked the news and movement enough to add to my holdings, yesterday and today, for the first time in over a year. Looking forward to dollar land and seeing this company get the recognition and valuation that it has deserved.
Thank You, Geodan. I thought so. Yes, I found it very difficult to understand and there was a lot of potential dilution. So, with this news, it simplifies things for investors and removes a significant obstacle. No wonder these shares are now climbing so nicely. Another question, if I may: I saw a lot of different entities had loans to IVFH. Are they All done with this loan, or is a Major one that is now paid off?
Months and months have gone by with nothing, now this. This is GREAT! Was this the main obstacle? If so, could someone explain for me why.
Yes. Nice morning surprise!!
With all due respect, you raise an important positive, hopeful perspective for consideration. I can't help but ask questions for the board, not specifically yourself with a differing viewpoint: If the company has done so well why are my shares basically worthless and why doesn't it trade. There is no real volume. We have all be waiting on this company for many, many months and I'm sure I'm not alone in losing patience. You say it's 2014-16 before some kind of explosion? I recall similar prophecies being made many times over the past few years. With all these investor presentations, I don't see the resulting true buying interest? I wonder with a new PR company, why was it so hard to find the quarterly news, and I find it hard to understand how this new PR company couldn't release anything since MAY to generate interest? The hiring of a new PR company was another hope turned disappointment. My speculation, which I hope is wrong, is that I think they are intentionally keeping it a well kept secret. For some reason many posters here don't ask questions about what is going on here. Been duped before and learned my lesson. Sorry, I've waited many years for Sam to get his ducks in a row and I noticed myself, and completely agree with the other poster's observation, to a significant discrepancy between Sam's words and his actions. It would be remedied if he'd actually communicate with his shareholders and follow through with his words of increasing shareholder value.
Deja Vu...quarter upon quarter..waiting and then with good news yet again, it's released like a footnote, at the end of the week or like this, hardly noticed. The most obvious for me was releasing good news at the Friday before a long weekend. What company that cares about its shareholders and the stock prices does that?! Methinks there's a reason for this and it's not good for my shares! I wish Dickmo was wrong, but..
It sure seems like there is no desire to see an increase in share price. Why don't others seem to wonder and question things like releasing great news on the Friday before a long weekend (some time back), Useless PR, Promises to promote to institutional investors, etc. So, the company I invested in all these years with my hard earned monies is actually trying to keep its own share price down??, i.e., working against its shareholders. Is this legal? I would just be happy if I could get out with break even at this point. I had hopes of much more here. Only I could end up investing in a company that wants to screw its shareholders!! Unbelievable!!
I'm almost reluctant to ask but I think you may be onto something. What are the signs you see of their taking the company private? And, if it is that the company is moving to option 1, what happens to the shares we've held onto all this time? Also, what typically happens to the share price in these scenarios?
This company really hasn't shown any attempt at increasing shareholder value. What an absolute disappointment! They talk a good game, but don't follow through with anything. A company that has record growth, month over month, acquisitions, etc.. I don't understand what is really going on here.
Thank you Dickmo for explaining this. I didn't want to hear this -- I knew I would not like it but after today I think you might be onto something here..I am not happy and have lost patience with this guy Sam and this company's managmement.
A couple more questions please: What are the benefits of privatizing vs the benefits of just naturally raising the share price through solid growth and share price increases? Is it better for the company CEO and directors and insiders to privatize than to see their share price increase as the majority of others do? If I understand you correctly, they sit down and determine whatever price they want us to sell our shares at. We have no say?? This, despite the fact that many of us have held onto these shares for years and years and were led to believe, had put our faith into the company that they were increasing revenues monthly and things were turning around and that maybe in fact contraary to statments they didn't care about their shareholders (as in todays' PR even). In determining the price they can stiff their shareholders as much as they like?? What is the standard of "fair" in these cases?? Do we have any protections and rights to ensure we get at least a decent price if this were to happen?
Thanks for your help. And if any others have info on this please feel free to share.
Exactly Dickmo. Closed tomorrow! Unreal isn't it? It makes me wonder if he actually wants the price to be dirt cheap contrary to his public statements to the contrary. Would you mind sharing what you mean by taking a company private and what the implications would be for shareholders like us. I'd really like to know but am also afraid to know..thanks for all you realistic contributions.
I don't get this CEO anymore. This is really nice report (I think) and will most likely be forgotten by Monday. Why is it coming out now? Is that intentional?? As Dickmo suggests, is this to set up taking it private? As a novice investor what would that mean to someone whose held this frustrating company for years and years and seen lots of lip service to the shareholders if it goes private? As you say, as a shareholder for years and lots of money in this, I have to say I am pretty worn out by this frequent pattern of indifference behaviour towards shareholders. The PR says they will do something about the stock price...well, as they say 'the proof of the pudding is in the tasting.'
Rest assured...RS will be followed by a major promo blitz...yeah..zzzzz
LOL. yeah 'soon', eh?
Well Said!! I have lost faith in his words of shareholder buy backs, promo's, looking out for his shareholders..increasing shareholder value...blah blah blah..
yep. all stuckholders in the dark.
flaflyersfan,
I never read the commandments below your posts before. Very true! I wonder if you would post your thoughts on the pro forma? Your opinion would be appreciated. If others have any thoughts on what it means, please feel free. thanks.
Yes, hopefully. That is becoming thinner as the days and weeks pass.. I'm wondering if he'd really care if shareholders were showing up with pitchforks..
I averaged down over time and thought Sam was shareholder friendly. This has been eye opening. I agree, it seems like it's for Sam and Co. instead. I hope to get out one of these days at least break even though it may be years away. The wait has been too long for some kind of information/news already with Sam and his company and this RS has done nothing good that I can see so far.
Give it a rest. The board has learned what your true colours are. Find another board to moderate for your personal gains.
LOL. He knew about the RS yet still was mod on the board never saying anything. Sells out last week and now offers his advice to us. Trying to rustle up cheaper shares? Very telling.,,
condescension to patient longs. gotta say it wasn't great seeing this new mod arrival. unreal! IVFH will be fine in time.
I bet some of his happy and upbeat-ness comes from seeing how his and his associates' patience and hard work has started to be better reflected in the share price of his stock, and the market seeing the potential ahead.
Fantastic. Thank you Born. I found those monthly updates very helpful in deciding on adding more at that time. I am certain that they helped me to hold on through those later periods of quiet as well. Psychologically, I believe they are very good for investors, esp. when they keep growing. I like the sound of working on something. I would like to believe we are in for some pleasant surprises.
Zoom
yes it is. thanks for reposting Born.
I think you are quite right. They have been expanding their revenue streams over the years. They hit the right source and your prediction becomes more likely. That's the kind of positive change JGL alluded to. By the way, I enjoy reading your posts and their focus on the facts that make truly make this a GEM. Today's action was not so bad. Looks like some of us took advantage to add to our positions.
That's incredible. 6 months or a year ago I would have laughed at such a preposterous notion. But with the growing monthly sales, revenues, cash, daily volume, increasing awareness, and pps action, positive changes,that does look very possible!
Thank you very much!! I really appreciate your posts. It does. And it feels even better that I averaged down and kept buying in all those years. Fully Loaded now at this price and newcomers should be aware that this has really only just begun; they are getting in really early here. I agree with WOWZA, getting lots below .02 is fantastic. Much more green is in store, and yes, .15 is keeping it conservative. What is your prediction for about one year from now JGL?
Hurray! Long awaited return to my break even today!! .014. Celebrating with a scotch. I wonder how many other IVFH veterans are out there. I first watched my shares rise then fall and remain in oblivian for ages, all but dead for years. Then Sam came. Things slowly showed a little life. Then the monthly updates which really helped as I bought because of them lowering my average from .08. In the past couple years things looked good but the stock never went anywhere. Still bought more in bits. Now with the latest financials and todays weirdness, and Mr. WOW (Great to have you join us!!), and Born, JGL, GEO, etc, I have bought more every day since. It took ages to reach my break even and when it did today it blasted through it with ease. This GEM has been finally been discovered!!! I expect much more of this right through .05 and beyond to .15. btw. I'd like to see the monthly sales updates again.
cheers, (esp. to other patient longs),
zoom
yes. that makes it exceptional.
We are on the same page. Held onto this a long time..it has a long ways to go from here.
IVFH is ALIVE & KICKING! Thank you Mr. Wowza for bringing others to the facts of this company and its incredible potential. I have wondered for a long while how come this little gem did not get noticed..now finally it has been discovered for all it has going for it. As you said, it's a safe investment, esp. for a penny.
Cheers!

I think we have expected this to 'move' for awhile. Each time it has stalled somehow. Looking at the recent numbers, as was pointed out, the market cap is incredibly low and with 40% of it as cash I'm convinced we're about to run....hard! Our little gem, IVFH, is finally getting discovered.
And thanks for the qaulity work you do on this board, Dana.
cheers!
JustGoLong,
Thank you. It does.
I told myself as I bought more shares that this company would eventually turn things around, and then those shares would someday turn really green. It's getting there and I will celebrate. Let's hope it is soon.
By the way, thanks for doing a superb job with the board.
