I like you! No nonsense and you seem to also know what is going on with DME. If only the investing public knew how "the real money" is made. Sickening at best.
Great call on knowing the $1.25. Fledglings worried about .30. I needed a Sunday laugh!
Time to head to the island for the summer. All the groundwork is laid out. This puzzle is complete. If Kenny isn't up for the challenge then he quickly needs to remember he is the one who designed it and issued it. No more funny business. No more sloshing shares around. No more 144's and no more Shep lining his pockets while the every day guy who has the REAL vested interest in this company suffers. Time for all of us to reap the benefits of a master plan coming to fruition. Keep watching those every second ticks! LOL zzzzzzzz Some already know the exact number the stock is heading to. I'll check in from time to time. Billy and Rilo, keep up the good work and keep carrying those big fly swatters. Too many ugly insects around. Have a great summer! And if you must drink, drink responsibly. That means ONLY Trump, Aftermath, and Pacifique!
Adieu
This is going to make you smile!
DKAM: If you're counting pennies that last post translates into the following.:
The 10000 flavored vodkas go out at $106.81 a case wholesale. That is $1,068,100 for the flavored sales already sold this quarter. The Recolte 10000 cases go at roughly $150 a case because of the tax stamping. That is $1,500,000 in additional sales. Now is where it gets better. In an attempt to maintain an equal pricing market with Courvoisier, Dre's Cognac will retail at roughly $50 a bottle with wholesale case pricing coming in at about $198. The first initial sales rollout will be for 10000 cases adding another $1,980,000 in initial revenues. You'll see a PR from the CEO that he expects no less than 25000 cases to ship in the initial rollout phase during next quarter. The sparkling vodka will garner roughly the same wholesale price strategy as the Trump line, so you can expect another $1,068,100 in Dre sparkling wine sales the following quarter.
Now, add to that the follow on sales for two quarters of the Trump standard, flavors, and other business lines and you can figure a minimum of another $2,000,000 in sales. Follow on sales for the holiday season for Dre will lead to another 15-20K cases. Plus an additional Recolte 10000 case reorder will be coming through in the following quarter.
All totaled is roughly $15,056,200 in revenues upcoming through the end of 2008.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong. But a stock doing $6 million in sales in 2007 after doing $1.6 million in 2006 doesn't trade at 28 cents. And that same stock doing over $15 million in sales the following year isn't trading at 28 cents.
Oh, remember how I told you the DKAM CEO had already inked India and was about to get China? And remember how he is the one who got Seagrams into China in 4 months faster than any liquor company in history? And do you remember me telling you just how huge this Dr. Dre deal is? Well, you might not drink Cognac but it is a favorite among the "Who's Who" in Celebrityville. And guess where else they love it? China
Read this little tidbit and I think you can put the pieces of the puzzle together.
Deerfield, Ill. - August 31, 2007 – Beam Global Spirits & Wine, Inc. [Fortune Brands, Inc. (NYSE:FO)], a global leader in premium spirits and wine, and Courvoisier® Cognac, one of the world’s leading cognac brands, today announced the U.S. launch of Courvoisier® Exclusif™ Cognac. Exclusif was designed as a mixable cognac with a distinctive, mellow and fine taste, and with the revival of the cocktail culture, this product will compete with vodkas and other base spirits in cocktails. Exclusif is a super-premium cognac characterized as a modern take on the classic Courvoisier portfolio, an image that allows the brand to continue capitalizing on the current growth of the super-premium VSOP category. First introduced in Asia and then launched in the United Kingdom, Exclusif will be available nationwide in the United States beginning mid-September 2007.
“As a key player in the cognac category, we recognized the need to introduce a global super-premium marque to consumers here in the United States,” said Mary Therese Williams, brand manager, Courvoisier. “We have been fascinated by the exponential growth in super-premium VSOP cognacs, the fastest growing segment within the category. Diverse enough to be enjoyed in cocktails as well as neat, Exclusif offers today’s luxury-seeking consumers an unparalleled cognac, positioning it as a leader in the super-premium spirits category,” continued Williams.
Exclusif originates from some of the most exclusive districts of the cognac region, known for grapes with exotic notes. It is a blend of well-matured Grande and Petite Champagne, Fin Bois and Borderies. While Borderies cru is an exclusive region not widely used by most cognacs, the grapes found here are responsible for the complexity and lasting character of Exclusif. The additional depth and complexity allows Exclusif to retain its superior taste whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or mixed in your favorite cocktail.
Exclusif was originally launched for the Asian market, where cognac consumption and gift-giving are very popular trends. Courvoisier Master Blender Jean-Marc Olivier’s goal was to craft a super-premium cognac that would not dilute when served as a cocktail, and it was very important that the consumer be able to taste the smooth, almost sweet flavor of Exclusif. After just four years in market, Exclusif experienced exponential growth of 724% between 2003 and 2007 in its largest market, China.
In light of the phenomenal performance of Exclusif in Asia, Courvoisier tested this breakout brand with consumers in the United States, and the super-premium marque performed extremely well both against cognacs and vodkas. In a blind cocktail taste test among target consumers, this new super-premium cognac received better scores than vodka-based cocktails.* This was one of the most important results for a marque that was designed to be a mixable spirit.

Yes, correct on explosive DKAM breakout. If the Trump Vodka brand causes the stock to break out from .35 to 3.50, then it stands to reason the Dr. Dre double introduction of cognac and sparkling vodka will at least repeat the same explosive move. Especially since this time, the company won't have to take $2 million for inventory rebuild.
The .30 break is coming and where most will fail is thinking the stock will fail again at .60. Not going to happen. The timing will perfectly coincide with the first Dre introduction. The company will immediately follow that PR with advance sales numbers. Everyone will quickly start adding the 10000 flavor cases to the 10000 Recolte cases and then the 10000 Dre cases of cognac with the 10000 Dre sparkling vodka cases and they will realize this is the largest sales push the company has ever had. And only the beginning.
No different than that little HYBR or even QTWW that both went a few months back from this price area. One to $3. The other over $6. DKAM is no different because the story is identical. Especially since DKAM already did it once before. This time even higher.
That's a good find! Actually, I was thinking it was about time everyone and the market should start paying attention to yet another one of Kenny's clues.
If you look at Kenny's entire business plan, it is designed and set up for him to build a successful company and then sell it to the highest bidder before moving on to yet another successful venture.
Here it is from the prospectus. DKAM's margins running in the 42-52% range make it a #1 acquisition target:
COMPETITION
The beverage industry is highly competitive. We compete with other beverage companies, most of which have significantly more sales, significantly more resources and which have been in business for much longer than we have. We compete with national and regional beverage producers and "private label" suppliers. Some of our alcohol competitors are Diageo, Pernod Ricard, Brown-Forman, Castle Brands, Allied Bomecq and Bacardi & Company, Ltd. On the non-alcoholic front, some of our direct competitors include Cadbury Schweppes (which produces Snapple and Mystic among other brands) Camper, Boylands and Hansens. We believe it is a costly and difficult for large companies to create new brands. As a result, we believe opportunities exist for smaller companies to develop high-quality, high-margin brands, which can grow to be very attractive acquisition candidates for the larger companies.
DKAM: Gift for being here over the weekend!
This chart is an exact, even identical, set up to the Feb. 6-8 volume set and move. Even the news chain is identical, just different and better news!
Should take a little less than 2 weeks to double your money from here.
When the market remembers, history repeats, and the market does remember!
Here's our stable. I would hazard to guess Fergie, Gwen, Fitty, Busta, and Em are smiling bright today. Stay tuned.

DKAM: What you'll see over the next two years. There are alot of fledgling start ups that go through numerous growing pains. This one has had its share of good times and "perceived" not so good times. The sad part is the stock price was beaten into the ground with the not so good items being overdone.
Imagine for a moment a stock in DKAM's sector JSDA. It also has seen its share of good times and bad times. From $2.00 it ran to $33 not long ago. With 20 mil outstanding and losing 60 cents a share, it has found its way back to $2.85 presently. But when times were good and numbers were increasing, that is when the hedge funds took control and ran it up uncontrollably.
Now imagine a stock at $5-$8 losing 80 cents a share with between 8 and 10 million shares outstanding. There are many of them out there! But this one particular company has all their ducks in a row with new product introductions, accelerating sales, international expansion, and suddenly it posts a profitable quarter. Oh, the hedge funds just love these kinds of stocks. Just like a JSDA, they can move it quickly to much higher levels. Especially with only 10 mil shares and maybe 3-4 mil shares in the float.
Wouldn't you be apt to play a stock posting a big company turnaround like that? I know I would. So would many people including hedge funds and even some other institutional investors.
I'm not so apt to take a second look at a company losing 8 cents a share posting a penny profit. But if it was losing 80 cents and posted a 10 cent profit, I would probably be chasing the ensuing run like everybody else.
Yes, it's all about perception. And the company I speak of is DKAM. The CEO has been approached on several occasions about reverse splitting the stock. Despite everybody having the "perception" that reverse splits are bad. In this case, it is the best thing going for this company just for the reasons I cited above plus more.
A 10 for 1 reverse drops the outstanding to 8 mil and any capital needs are accomplished by raising it to 10 mil. Perception says 8-10 mil is far better than 80 mil to 100 mil. Authorized shares go up from 10 mil to 20 mil. Nobody bats an eye at that. But authorizing 200 mil from 100 mil makes people cringe. Same exact thing in both cases.
At $7 - $10 where the company would effect a reverse (.70-$1.00), you now attract a host of institutional investors, and you make it far easier to entice further capital raising requirements if needed. It also satisifies minimum bid requirements to move to the NSC Market from OTC and the turn to profitability satisifes shareholder equity requirements. Hedge funds load up on that move.
The move also brings in a whole new credibility base to the iconic structure of the company. Icons can easily be part owners of the company and their fan base is more apt to buy in along with them.
The CEO is now realizing that his stock is worth $30 on this basis alone and once his business plan comes to fruition, it will move much higher. Heck, it was already $35 last year keeping in mind a 10 for 1 price adjustment. Then down the road like a HANS, they can split the stock 2 for 1 and so forth.
No one bats an eye anymore at a $5 stock going to $30. They look at you cockeyed when you mention a 50 cent stock going to $3.00 though.
CEO has no choice in the matter. 10 for 1 when the price gets $.80-$1.00 and then two 2 for 1 splits over the next 5 years. That's how we get our true 2000% - 3000% winner that will hold instead of falling into the well like JSDA did; and like this one did before. No! Not any more. A whole new DKAM and one going for much, much higher levels.
DKAM: With this new website up, it's easy to see where the company is heading. Of course, this is just the start. Alot of tweaking and adding to do. Also Kenny is famous for his "little hidden messages." Does it all the time in his PRs and especially in the conference calls.
Very important to note the inclusion of the section "Meet the Execs." Well here, I'll just post it and make it a little Interactive Game!

A veritable "who's-who" in the consumer world and particularly all the perfect people are in place to take DKAM from fledgling start up to explosive break out to ultimate buy out. This is their track record. This is what these guys do.
But like somebody said earlier; "We need to be concerned about 30 cents" and ignore the big picture slapping us right up side the head! LMAO Oh my, that is funny!
For future reference if you play DKAM. It's nice if you try to buy a position at the end of the day. Especially .29 and .30 as it shows the stock is ready on the charts to blow through important dma lines. But when you put your order in AFTER 3:58:30EST, the market makers will NOT fill you before the closing bell. So your order is worthless to the price as it prints AFTER the bell.
Buys right now DKAM should be VERY profitable. Awesome website coming up at any moment before Monday. Dre album release due by next weekend. CC upcoming and press releases next week. Interest will be VERY high next week.
Appreciate your candor on DKAM. Actually would prefer if the board "mother pumpers" WERE NOT on it. They will only provide a sell order that gets in the way of progress. No, the right people are buying it now and know how to buy the ask and trail to support. .30 comes soon enough.
DKAM: Important information to tuck away in your mental archives. Certain "things" that you won't find in any filings and without the benefit of this forum you wouldn't ordinarily know about. Let me give it ALL to you and perhaps someday you'll buy me a Trump Raspberry or a Dre Aftermath on the rocks!
$5? $15? or $25? Which one or all 3? The beauty of information suggests the latter. With every so called 5000 "pumps" out there, a story comes along that only the true savvy investor is able to isolate. If you're new, then perhaps you don't know about CKXE or FRPT or even HANS. All found their way from penny land where they had been beaten up and then found their way to meteoric levels. Most notably of late I draw reference to HYBR. A stock losing 72 cents EPS found a low of .47 on 12/21. Exactly 5 months later on 5/21, the stock hit $6.45 and is still holding a majority of its gains.
Now, not considering a different sector, look at the pure fact it IS all about company turnarounds and earnings. This company has 1/5 the OS of DKAM and is losing 9 times the money of DKAM. As I noted yesterday, there are 103 stocks across all exchanges that are losing exactly 8 cents per share like DKAM. The average price of all those stocks is $2.81. DKAM is the cheapest stock in any exchange losing 8 cents per share. All prime arguments for this stock going higher!
Ordinarily, one could argue this point that the EPS picture is just a snapshot. That number could be on its way to dramatically lower levels and that is why the price is so depressed. But if that 8 cent EPS loss was headed to much higher EPS, you'll find several stocks trading in the $20's and $30's. DKAM falls in the latter category for several reasons.
As I detailed yesterday, two years ago Trump was being announced. Revs were lower than now. EPS was lower than now. Distribution was lower than now. Debt was 900% worse than now. Yet here we have a stock trading NOW 25% BELOW its all time low from 2 years ago. How can this be? Because the market overdid it dramatically to the downside and nobody caught it. Until now.
When Trump Vodka debuted, anticipation was high. The stock took off from that 35 cent level and ran above $3.50. Now, several things happened. The company delayed earnings by filing a 2000% INCREASE in sales. That made it soar. When they didn't follow it up the next quarter with equally impressive numbers, the price cracked. Additionally, as a recent start up, they paid about 35 of their vendors in stock. These people had been waiting two years to get their money, so they cashed in with no regard for the price maybe going much, much higher. Then the company wiped out all its debt by issuing some shares at $1.80. Those guys shorted against the number and that along with the 144's oversold the stock by a landslide. All the 144's have been gone for months. All of the short shares have been covered months ago.
The company then retained DME Capital to "increase investor awareness". In layman's terms, that means box the price in for a substantial length of time so they could accumulate a major position for their "privileged clients. To date, Graci at DME has gathered roughly 13 million shares by trading back and forth to themselves through SBSH, NITE, and UBSS. The result was many people selling because the price would never move.
In February, we saw a precursor to the move that is coming when the stock ran from .20-.60 as the Dr. Dre deal was bringing in a host of "his" friends buying. DME beat on it some more because they weren't done building their position. They are there now.
So what's different now? About 18 months ago, the CEO gave an interview where he said he was working on something that would be "Bigger Than Trump." Bigger than Trump would mean something larger than the fastest selling NEW vodka to ever hit the market. Well, this would then exclude the 10000+ cases of flavored Trump Vodka that has already been shipped this quarter making revenues up well over 100% over last quarter. It would also exclude Recolte's 50000 cases of ANNUAL product shipments they have committed to of which the first 10000 cases are being shipped now. For the penny counters, that is over $2.5 mil in revenues versus just 500K last quarter. No, it has to be something else. Little did we know it was several something else's.
The Trump porducts garnered them "one trick pony" status at best. Could that "bigger than Trump" be the Dr. Dre introduction coming this month of Aftermath and Pacifique, his signature cognac and sparkling vodka? It will be huge but that isn't it. Could it be the announcement of a major US distribution deal that is also about to be announced? Nope, that isn't it either. Perhaps it is a major distribution deal in India, the #5 consumption populus in the world which is already inked? Or perhaps a major distribution deal in China, the #2 consumer populus in the world? Doubtful it is either of those. Maybe it's at least 6 new iconic product introductions that include Kidd Rock and Playboy; complete with a new Super Premium spirit offering to rival Patron called El Jeffe and another called Topless for Playboy plus an energy drink line for Playboy? Could be but unlikely. No, the "bigger than Trump" Kenny was referring to is the company itself.
Where they lost pace with the market in the past was no follow up to their initial sales run. Now, they are about to flood the market with a new and greatly improved company. Beginning today you'll see a new and exciting website with all sorts of star power. www.drinksamericas.com. Then you'll see the Dre releases by mid month to coordinate with his Detox album release which is expected to be the biggest selling album in history. The difference now, and going forward, is Dre is a part owner in the venture. A CC is forthcoming detailing all of this. Then you'll see more on the Recolte deal and those sales. Then the India and China agreements along with the new US distribution deal. Next will come the Kidd Rock and Playboy deals. Followed behind this will be at least 3 more Interscope Geffen icon product announcements. This will take us out for the next 12 months minimum with accelerating sales AND PROFITABILITY each quarter.
Now maybe you'll see the magnitude of the juncture the company is at. Even more laughing to note some dip shorted the stock yesterday at 27 cents. He shorted at .27. DME just accumulated 13 million shares in anticipation of a run. Laugh with me as he loses please!
On an important sidenote, liquor companies are traditionally valued at $1000-$2000 per case by their peers for buyout purposes. The Recolte deal alone guarantees DKAM 50000 cases alone in Trump Vodka sales per annum. At the low end of valuation of $1000 that puts just this small segment of their business worth $50 mil. That means it is worth 63 cents a share just on that one deal with absolutely no regard for Dre's Aftermath and Pacifique, New US distributor, India, China, Kidd Rock, Playboy, El Jeffe, Topless, US Trump sales, new Flavor sales, and at least 3 other iconic introductions. High end buyout valuation on the Recolte deal says $1.25. I think you see my point.
I couldn't imagine anyone not taking advantage of this supreme gift. I couldn't imagine having any less than 100K shares to even make it worth your while. But do what you can. The important thing is DO IT NOW and let all your friends know to do it also. There were only 83 individual people in DKAM 3 days ago and it is now 107. Imagine what will happen when all of Dre's and Kidd Rock's and Playboy's fans start buying. Easy to know because they will be buying at much, much higher prices to take it even higher.
The chart says this time, a break of .30 takes it straight to .70. Enjoy and thank you for your time. And remember, I want an Aftermath on the rocks!
DKAM: Two interesting factoids to tuck away in your mental archives.
Two years ago, Trump was just being announced. The company had loads of debt. They were only sporting between 300K -500K a quarter in sales. The low on the stock was 35 cents.
Since that time, Trump is the largest selling premium vodka release ever. The flavor sales are going nuts. Their distribution network of 2000 distributors has grown to over 6000. A major US distributor to be named. An international presence is happening where there was none before. A China distributor to be named. A Russia distributor named with a commitment of 50000 case sales annually. They have wiped off over 90% of the debt. They have increased sales. They have a 50% LOWER loss eps. They are on the verge of an iconic product explosion.
The stock is 27 cents with a low of .14. Huh? What?
You can stare all you want at the daily, but you and every one of your friends needs to be aware of what is going to happen. All you're seeing now is 5 months of people waiting for some type of oxygen. So short sighted and clueless.
Second, China is the #2 consumer market in the world. India is #5. DKAM is going after both.
The time to load is now when no one knows to load large before the news. Let everyone else chase it at significantly higher levels afterwards.
DKAM technicals are what I just posted
.27-.28 is VERY short term resistance as SBSH fights to hold it below the old 50 line at .30 and the current 100 line at .29. Rising now above the 50dma at .26 with volume is a huge BUY signal. Just be patient and even add. The last time it touched .30, it went straight to .60.
Coming up on .30. Just the start. We're a long ways off from $15. Many got started this way. It has done this before so let's just worry about $3.50 then we'll talk!
SBSH gotta be hopping mad they didn't get those 2 million filled sitting down at .15-.17. Grredy ba**ards! $1 will come very quick.
DKAM fills are not timely. SBSH thinks they rule the roost on this stock and they are about to have their lunch handed to them. If you go in with 100K, make sure to make half go at or above the ask to assure a fill and trail the bids with the other half. SBSH has been trading back and forth to themselves for months to stimulate sellers. SBSH = DME Capital. That is how they've been accumulating all the shares for their buyers.
Also on DKAM, the last spike was to .27 on Dr. Dre adding 350000 shares to his position. Been three weeks so this minimal resistance at .25-.28 is just flippers thinking it will fail it again. They have no clue that this is a completely different company now.
HANS at .25 in 1999 comes to mind before it went to $400. But that is a little optimistic. Let's just get through $3.50 first and then we'll worry about those lofty levels and the stock buybacks and so forth.
DKAM Listen! Very important. Ramping to run. 5 MMs waiting at .25. They are phantoms. As soon as the buys start, the rest will yank. Same program SHSH ran the last time stock took off from .20 to .60.
DKAM This list I just received will show why it is about to explode. This is the gift beyond all gifts. The CEO at DME Capital says, "This is the best case for a penny stock going above $10 I have seen in a long, long time."
Hope this helps. It is coming. All of it.
Here is the current information that includes upcoming events and sales revenue figures for DKAM.
1. New website to be unveiled right before release of Dr. Dre’s new CD Detox. It will feature all of DKAM’s iconic brands. Issues with photographs for Dr. Dre and Donald Trump have been resolved. All iconic brands will be featured on the site.
2. Dr. Dre’s album Detox is expected to be the largest selling music release in history. That will come mid June. Along with that release will come his new Signature Cognac and Signature Sparkling Vodka. Only two Sparkling Vodkas are on the market and receiving rave reviews. Of these two, one will be called “Aftermath” after Dre’s own music label “Aftermath Interscope.” The other will be Pacifique. Dre will be promoting his new drink products in conjunction with his album. His two products are expected to generate $millions per order. Designer drinks are the “hottest” product in the beverage sector, and particularly in this consumer demographic.
3. The Trump Flavored Vodkas have hit the market with 10000+ cases already shipped and paid for in the first two months. They are also receiving rave reviews. The Taj Mahal alone sold 72 cases to customers in the first 4 days the product was available. You should know DKAM sold 5200 cases of its flagship Trump Super Premium product (with no flavored sales) in the past quarter.
4. The tax stamp issue with Recolte of Russia has been resolved. Those who have been paying attention know DKAM inked a deal with Recolte in Nov. 2007 for annual case sales of the flagship Trump Vodka for 50000 cases not including any flavors. The first 10000 cases of that order are shipping now for an expected $1.5 million in revenue. The annual contract will total above $7.5 million. The company did 500K in sales last quarter.

5. Distribution is the key to DKAM’s success and a billion dollar+ distribution agreement nationwide is being finalized presently to get all of DKAM’s iconic brands in more liquor stores nationwide with shelf space to rival that of Grey Goose, Absolut, and Smirnoff.
6. International distribution will be the key to accelerated sales for DKAM. The company has just inked a deal to distribute its products in India and is about to ink its largest distribution deal to date in China. DKAM CEO Kenny got Seagrams into China in record time of 4 months.
7. An iconic plate full of celebrities lining up to put their product on the market. Six new iconic products to be announced in 2008 and early 2009. The next we’ll see are from Playboy and Kidd Rock. Playboy to have its own signature liquor and energy drinks. Kidd Rock to have his own signature liquor.
8. The CEO and board have “locked up” in the neighborhood of 50,000,000 which they have no authority to sell until mid 2009 at the earliest. The current float is only 23 mil shares.
9. Market cap is $18 mil. The Dre agreement alone is valued at $25-$50 mil alone. Short shares are less than 70K. Company is losing 8 cents per share and CEO expects they will post profitability at any time. Stock is 22 cents making it the cheapest stock across all exchanges losing 8 cents per share by more than 92% on average. That translates into being undervalued by more than 1200%.
10. DME Capital was retained to increase investor awareness. They have been accumulating for some of their key clients including Dre, Kidd Rock, Playboy execs, Simmons, and Rhymes.
DKAM 1000% winner now and here's why. Please read and pay close attention. Despite the good move off the lows today there is a reason. The company has spent the past 15 months without much interest since its meteoric run from .35 to 3.56.
But underneath the drop in price lies a different story. For the past 4 months, there has been intense accumulation from .20-.50 by the likes of some key people including Dr. Dre, Kidd Rock, Busta Rhymes, Russell Simmons, Playboy execs, and others in the know. DKAM inked a deal awhile back to have DME Capital brings its host of a veritable "who's who" of clients to the stock to load up before the big run.
The company has inked this Universal Interscope branding label that will be unveiled in the next few days with the most highly anticipated album release of all time with Dr. Dre's Detox. But unlike the Trump Vodka release that saw the stock increase 1000% on his release, this drink release will be even stronger as Dre will be promoting his new signature Cognac and Sparkling Vodka along with his album promotion and concerts. His new Sparkling Vodka will be called Aftermath which DKAM just trademarked to go along with Dre's record label called Aftermath Interscope. Check the USPTO, all their new brands are there being recently filed.
The company has gone silent over the past few weeks in anticipation of a huge media blitz. Dre's album release will come with his new Cognac release then immediately followed by his Sparkling Vodka promotion. The company will also be unveiling a whole new website in the next few days where his products can be ordered like any other distributor right off the website. Right behind that will come new signature products from Kidd Rock and a highly anticipated liquor and energy drink line from Playboy. Along with this will be another 4 iconic introductions in 2008 and early 2009.
Distribution is the key to huge sales and the company is realigning its nationwide sales network with a new billion dollar distribution agreement. That announcement will come shortly. Aside from that comes International Sales where they have inked a deal to sell in India and are in the process of finalizing an enormous distribution agreement in China. The CEO of DKAM is the man responsible for putting Seagrams into China faster than any other liquor company in history. None of this you have seen yet but has been casually referred to in company CC's and phone calls.
From the technical side, the company is quickly selling its new Trump Flavored Vodkas and sales this quarter are already more than 100% over last quarter. This introduction phase of all these new products will assure a continuation of sales increases going forward for at least several quarters.
The company is losing 8 cents a share and the CEO is convinced this will be the time the company finally goes profitable. You could be a bump on a log and know that for one, a company losing 8 cents a share isn't 20 cents, and you could be in your grave and still have sense enough to realize a 20 cent stock that posts a profit and has this kind of news goes ballistic to the upside.
The chart shows the stock washed out on the accumulation. All sorts of bid support with no real resistance anywhere. You might see some at 70 cents and then again around 1.65 and 3.00. From there, the sky is the limit.
An additional bit of important info. The CEO and board own over 50 mil of the shares and they are locked down until the spring of next year. So, they cannot do any selling. And they certainly would never sell here. You can rest assured they will find a way to get those shares out at more than 10 times this price and the above is the way they will do it. Of course, with this set up they will probably get bought out before they ever have a chance to even file.
Enjoy! You won't get another chance like this one. It started today and if you think you can just sit on the bids and get some cheap shares, you'll be wrong. What difference anyway? If it's going back over $3, you can load with confidence all the shares you want up until then at any price.
Nope, 1000 cases is a container. Ask anybody in the biz. Good weekend all. Looks like these two new products Pacifique and Client number 9 will be big winners for us.
"Five containers arrived in NY last Friday the 21st. We will have the first shipment to the distributors within a week to 10 days tops. As far as a second shipment, I'm still waiting to hear back."
That's the voicemail I had.
On Celebtiry Apprentice right now. Showed them unloading the cases of Trump Vodka for the charity gala.
I consider myself savvy at reading charts. Done real well for myself on many. This chart set up is classic. In fact, if you can get the stock to print .39 today, there is every reason to believe that high from a couple weeks ago at or around .60 will be taken out to give way to higher prices. It is the same chart you see on so many where a stock is trying to break out when the market gets very weak. SUddenly you see a stock just walking right on through previous highs when everybody else was expecting it to go set new lows. Remember, .39 is crucial here. I'll have to pick up some more today to help the cause!
Thank you Coach. Actually new to these boards. Got tired of Yahoo and all the slugs that hang out on those boards. Looks like a small group here. If this starts to go I'm sure we'll have a party atmosphere like anywhere else.
I bought last week when I found out Trump Vodka going to be featured on Celebrity Apprentice. Speculation now that the winner of CA on Thursday will be toasting his favorite flavor of TV as the product arrived in NY last Friday. However, I'm banking on a full episode this fall for the full line of vodka products or Dr. Dre's new cognac or sparkling vodka. Can't help what you hear in the business that's for sure!
