Looks like all stores that got Nutrabars received two boxes, one regular and one fat free. How many bars are in each box? Some people said that whole boxes were bought, just wondering how many bars that would be. My Walmart at Rehoboth Beach Delaware didn't have any but it is just a regular Walmart - not a Superstore. The person I talked to worked in the pet department, three long aisles. Had supplies, beds, cat products, dog products, bird products, live fish tanks, food, treats etc. She said that the store is reorganizing the pet layout and new products are expected as others are being phased out. I didn't ask if she was the Pet Dept Manager, but it didn't really matter to me, but she seemed focused on that area alone. She was getting fish from the fish tank as I waited and other people were behind me waiting to be helped. Busy place!

Indeed, a perfect storm! I can't imagine Walmart not doing DD on AAPT to determine if they can, in fact, produce products to meet potential WM demand, be solvent enough to meet their financial obligations ( not withstanding the old IRS, Dog Contest, etc allegations that may or may not be true) or not being on the FBI most wanted posters. Why would Walmart say here is some desired shelf space in 1000 stores to see if the product sells, and not be assured they can continue to fill the space with reorders? This is a big commitment by WM and would look foolish if AAPT can't deliver more products. Can anyone imagine one of us walking into Walmart headquarters and leave with 42, followed with 39 purchase orders on a handshake and a smile? I don't think Walmart management is that inexperienced. DD would involve doing a credit report, Dun & Bradstreet report, proof of made in America products, and about a billion pieces of paper in triplicate.

Just a wild guess on my part, but perhaps it could be that the products have only been on the shelves for 72 hours.

Hey Redsox, are you still planning on attending the Pet Expo next week. Wish I was in Orlando then, but won't be there until March 10. Anxious to hear what they are saying about WM and any other big stores (Walgreens etc). Also would be good to see reaction of attendees to AAPT.

We shall see. As I have said before, the success of AAPT will be determined by how good the product is in the eyes of buyers. If their dogs love it or even like it, consumers will buy it because dogs love it, it is healthy for the dogs, and it is priced right. Walmart opens the door for discovery. The rest is how good the products are. No hype, good or bad, just pure business - if the product is good, people will buy it. I happen to believe in the product, that's why I invested. Be patient and give it a chance.

Great! Who will report next? And it's only the 13th. Three days ahead of schedule. Be nice to see 10 stores reported by Friday.

Pet Expo next week in Orlando. Redox88 said he was going. Anyone else? This would be a great opportunity to see how others view AAPT. A good chance to kick some tires, ask questions. Walmart should be on some shelves by then, and if not, ask what the status is at the Expo.

Nah! Good old pot smoking Barry won't shoot down mmj. In fact, I think his next political stops are in CO and WA. He needs to check some medical stuff for the safety of the Country.

Some key dates are ahead. Walmart has supposedly said that the AAPT product(s) will be on shelves of 1000 stores by Feb 16. The Pet Expo in Orlando is the following week. Some posters have said that they plant to attend. So I would expect that by March 1 we will see if WM is real and see how the Expo went.

Nice photos of Nutrabars being cut and wrapped. Good to finally see some photos inside the operation. Also, with the withdrawal of other pet foods, gives Nutrabars a nice takeover spot on the shelves in Walmart. I'm thinking that this first WM order is a trial to see how they sell. If successful, then more orders will follow and stock goes up. I'm cautiously optimistic. Hope King is right for $1, but will be happy to see .10 (4x for me), then on to maybe .25 (10x for me). Anything more will be greatly accepted!

Great! Looking forward to the report and pics.

Anybody planning to attend the Global Pet Expo in Orlando later this month? I think it would be a great opportunity to see first hand AAPT products and see what other retailers think of the products. Two years ago I was on vacation in the Orlando area for a month and got a chance to go see the Homebuilders Expo just because I like building products and tools. We go in March again this year. If it had worked out I would have taken a day and went to the Pet Expo. If anyone is interested, I would contact someone at AAPT to see if they can give you a ticket since I think the Homebuilders was about $275 to attend. I met a vendor on a golf course and as we talked he gave me two tix. If anyone goes, take pictures and post.

When was the chill by TD? I bought 20,000 at .10 about 3 months ago thru TD. Now that its up to .16 why would they place a chill now?

Exactly! Many companies use prison labor and pay cents or dollars per hour. Companies make out, state prison systems make out, prisoners make out. Prisoners get to keep whatever they make and if you are out of circulation for a few years, you can pocket a few thousand when you walk. It's a win-win-win arrangement. So why not a training experience for a University?

Good post. You are among friends! As with any stock, especially penny stocks, there is a risk. Overall, a penny stock is greater risk with greater gains. With all that said, I am long on AAPT and think the Walmart agreement is real and will help gain exposure. Great potential!

Great way to align with Walmart on the homepage. Someone did a nice job of linking Nutrabars and Walmart. What product wouldn't want to be linked with the world's largest retailer!

When and where is the Global Pet Expo? Hey, I think AAPT is trying hard to get exposure. The TV exposure on Hallmark, the UCLA pet thing, apparently Walmart, and now the Global Pet Expo. You need exposure and then if the product is any good, the results will be there!

Been looking but can't find anything. If you know something share the news.

Walmart? Is everyone just wishful thinking about big W or is there some real news? Great day regardless. Up 63% with volume of 18,000,000. Would like to see it get back to say .025, then up from there!

What do you know? Its evident we don't know, and you seem confident that you know something, so share the news, good or bad. Will AAPT rebound with some big orders, or will it continue to tank more? Is this a guess on your part or some "inside" information that you know of?

I think Barry and Lisa should go on Shark Tank. We need Mr Wonderful or Mark Cuban to get involved!

Thanks for some clarity. Made the most sense in the last 48 hrs. Don't know any details at all, but if the products get in a large distribution like Petco, Walmart etc, we should be fine. If products are halted or aren't picked up by large companies, then we will loose a big opportunity.

Not trying to pick on you highstakes, but have not seen Pawitzers in Marshall's, Home Goods or TJMax here in Delaware. Just reporting that nothing here yet.

Wait...what?....don't leave us hanging....

Here's an AAPT phone number. 913 951 4990. Get AAPT into German markets. Good luck.

Where was the stock one month and one year ago? If your calculations are correct, that is a fantastic run. I've in about 4 months but don't recall it being in the .012 range and have no idea what it was a year ago.

Up 22.3% to .0269 from .022. Nice start to 2013!

Wall Street Cheat Sheet just published that 11 analysts have lowered their target for Apple, resulting in the average of 48 analysts to have a PT of $740 which is $225 or 44% higher than it is today.

Thanks for the pics. Helps establish credibility to those who doubt as well as reinforces those of us who believe!

My recent post was supposed to be a new post and wasn't a response to Conrade. Sorry about that!

How much is OK? As we sit here waiting for 2013, how much do you want the AAPT share price to be 12 months from now?
Of course, we all want it to be as high as possible. As King keeps saying, $1 is his target. We all wish that he is right...but as much as I would like him to be right, what really would you be satisfied with? How about .06? Seems small, but what other stock will give you 100%. Maybe .12, that would be 200% or a 4 bagger from today's price. I know many are still under what they originally paid, and some wish it was back at .07 that it was earlier this year, but for the most part, gains of 100%, 200% are pretty rare. I wish for the most like everyone else, but don't be disappointed with smaller gains in the 2x, 4x, range. Personally, if it hits .12, I'm a happy camper, anything higher will be icing on the cake. I think it will take some time for AAPT to achieve the success we would like to see because new products and gaining entry into any established and competitive market takes time. Have a Happy New Year and if you set your goals realistic, you won't be disappointed.

Are you including Apple stores, because the store at Christiana Mall in Delaware had minis as of three days ago. Also about 1:30 PM there was a line out the door buying iPhones in an iPhone sales only line. The store was packed as usual with about 300 customers packed around tables and about 50 Apple sales techies running around. After we left we went to the fairly newly opened Windows store that had about 10 customers and about 10 sales techies. Looked at their tablet and it looked good but as I have posted before, Apple has the following and even if there is better technology, the majority of customers who really aren't techies want an Apple product if nothing more than its accepted and is part of the FUD factor that I posted about a few days ago, meaning the perception is you can't go wrong with Apple because everybody has one. I am long on Apple because I still see growth to $700 - $800 in 2013.

Heard yesterday on CNBC that Apple expected earnings for 2013 are in the $50+ range. With a P/E of 14, that puts price at $700+. Also reported that iphone holds 53% market in US with Android at 40 something. Combine with China outlook and Apple TV in 2013, everything points to $700 or better in 2013.

FUD - In my earlier post explaining FUD, I didn't mention that FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) can be used either positively or negatively. In Hatie's post, it sounds like FUDers are trying to put fear, uncertainly and doubt about Apple's ability and future sales and stock price to drive down the price. Sounds like shorts trying to make a buck. My IBM analogy was about putting fear in people's minds if they didn't buy IBM, because IBM was the gold standard among mainframes and why take a risk on a young company who may not be around like IBM has been. In this example, FUD would be negative - buy IBM or you will be sorry.

FUD could also be used positively to convince people to buy Apple, because, after all, everyone has an iPad or iPhone so don't be left out with a different brand.

I am a fan of Apple and like kadox recently posted, 47 analysts have the AAPL mean price target pegged at $760, so some people ( not all, because some have legitimate concerns about better products out there) want to put FUD factors out there to scare people to sell off and lower the stock price. So, in this case, I think the FUDers are placing doubts about Apple implying it has seen better days so sell off. And, of course, as the stock price declines, shorts stand to make a buck!

FUD - Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. This was a big slogan in the IBM days of the 70s and 80s when big blue ruled the mainframe market. When you looked at competitors of IBM, the FUD factor came up. What will your upper management say if you go with someone else other than IBM. IBM was the gorilla in the room. It was the safe bet. So IBM liked to use FEAR of failure ( and your career) if the competitor went down or somehow failed and you didn't pick IBM ( that may also go down occasionally, but at least you picked IBM which was considered the king of computers). UNCERTAINTY that you know what IBM has stood for for many years, and you never know what the competitor will do. IBM will be here forever ( which it still is) and many competitors have bit the dust, so uncertainty vs certainty. Plant DOUBT in minds that a competitor MAY not deliver or support, where IBM will stand behind you.

This is a long winded answer, but I have worked in the computer world in that time frame and understand the FUD factor. BTW, IBM was great to work with. Great products and great support, and you paid for it because they were always a higher price tag. But the bottom line is, what CEO wants to skimp on computer technology or failure and risk down time that may cost far more than IBMs higher cost was.

I think the person who used FUD was implying a similar thought that was implied to IBM. In other words, the safest bet is Apple, even if others may have better technology (and some certainly do), but people love to have an iPhone or iPad.

.0315 Nice start!

Great posts to steelhead and maxxm. These are the type of posts that actually have some intelligent comments. Everyone needs to read both posts today. AAPT is doing the right marketing things and will be successful. Patience my friends!

Pics look great. Things are looking good, but we all still need to be patient. I'm happy with slow but steady growth. A journey takes one step at a time. Go AAPT!

I trade but don't really understand all of the details with stocks. How do you know there is 202,000 shares before .035?
Is there something that I can subscribe to that can tell me that or is this an educated guess on your part. I own 1 m shares ofAAPT because it looks like it is positioned well to increase, and I bought at .024 so I am satisfied but just want to learn more about the technical side of stock trading. If you can pass along some info, I'd appreciate it.

Report yesterday said 50 of 51 analysts have Apple as a buy or hold. There was only one downgrade in price target, went from $900 to $800. Not exactly a bad price target!
