when i grow up, being the simpleton that i am, I want to start a company that sells $20 million in product every 3 months...
i'd also like to know what term is used for the folks who were beat out by the aforementioned simpletons in winning one of, if not the most, prestigious award that can be won in their industry...
btw, we are in the twitter/FB age. "Bro" is here to stay. I grew up with bro being used as a noun, verb AND punctuation in every day conversation... I totally relate to their chosen method of communication...
but hey, i'm just an idiot with a gut feeling, so don't mind me...
ps. it's spelled "ridiculous"
some of us aren't in this as traders...
I know me personally, i've been buying regularly since last november.
I've been buying in a company that has definitely had it's share of troubles... but..
is also in an industry that looks more and more promising as this country becomes more and more health conscious every day...
is in an industry that is heavily tied to the fastest growing sport on the planet, a sport which has bucked the trend of the rest of the world's economic struggles... The UFC is going into China later this year and will be featuring Cung Le on that card. http://directsellingnews.com/index.php/view/growing_appetite_for_nutritional_supplements_in_china
MP is on the front lines of this MMA explosion, like it or not...
But ultimately, i'm in this because of all the pretty colors on the packaging...
lol, nah...
I highly doubt success and bankrupt are ever used in the same context other than on this forum...
BSN won supplement brand of the year from '06-'09
Optimum Nutrition took it home the last 2 years
Our soon to be bankrupt MP took it home this year
to steal a line from my favorite poster on the board: "too funny"
twitter/facebook
Muscle Pharm
Success does not come easy, and it is not done alone. Having great partners is the key to success!
Its amazing to think that less then 4 years ago Cory and I (Brad) started this company out of my garage..
MusclePharm is a perfect of example how hard work, perseverance and a greater vision can turn a dream into a reality!
I want to thank all of our loyal customers for the great support over the years in helping build MP to the #1 Supplement Brand in the industry, we could have not done it without you. GO MP NATION!
Thanks,
Brad Pyatt-CEO
he lives, back to the lab again
We got Travis Browne headlining UFC on fx5 this friday. One of the guys with the most potential that fights repping MP tags in the UFC...
and of course, the obligatory: "We goin' bankrupt!!!!!" as some of our local "experts" have predicted
i think we agree that there have been quite a few shady PR's released...
but, the 26mm shares bought back in Q2 were buried in the 10q. There wasn't any mention of that in a PR (other than the initial PR that stated they were buying back 100 mm shares)
i was merely pointing out that just because they are not CFP does not prevent them from buying shares, as evidenced in Q2.
to be fair, they were cash flow negative in Q2 and bought back 26mm
preliminary results have been PR'd before. If current/future investors use hindsight to make a decision on any prelim PR, they'd probably stay away due to how the Q1 prelim PR went over...
MSLP needs to file, ON TIME, CORRECTLY(please no more re-statements), with evidence of true fiscal responsibility for us to move in the manner we (longs) expect...
anything short of that can't be trusted, i think the current pps reflects that
the timing of those PR's bothered me as well(as did the share purchases by 2 officers), but if the result of this recent selling is that no more warrants remain outstanding; isnt that ultimately for the greatest good?
only way i've been able to justify this to myself is that releasing those PR's is a necessary evil in this form of financing in order to attempt to sustain any semblance of a stable share price

already happened, but check how many cities/fans/consumers go to these types of events...
#clever
i saved a screenshot of my buy from yesterday, which ended up being the only transaction to occur at .0059...
Kept it for symbolic purpose, as i've convinced myself that is the proverbial vertex in this V shaped recovery
looks like they've teamed up with a company by the name of BlenderBottle for their shaker cups http://musclepharm.visibli.com/share/zQb6v6 and in general have ramped up the advertising for non-supplement products
im seeing alot more twitter noise coming to/from @MPSPORTSWEAR and references from new athletes (Roy Hibbert for one, hadn't seen many basketball players repping MP)
it's pure insanity how inverse the public trajectory of Musclepharm is, when compared to the trajectory of its PPS...
wow, thank you for the breakdown...
#opportunity
MP was pretty quiet on last night's card
Nothing on mats or ring posts, just Bisping on fighters
Main event splash screen didn't have a logo at all where it's had MP on occasion
Noticed Greg Jackson's team which is usually in MP wearing MMA Elite shirts (red)
the new MMA gear would be perfect for that type of store
excellent post man...
once this hits, we'll look back and laugh at all the heartache this damn stock caused...
i initially thought the same thing, but if you read the question from the guy asking MP, it clearly states the UFC FAN EXPO and not Olympia
at least that's how I interpreted it
*fixed thx for the heads up, for some reason i lumped it into the fights this weekend
i thought they'd pulled out of next weekend's events when i first read the posts, but I'm pretty sure it was referring to the UFC fan expo earlier and not next weekend's events
heh, that must have been my 100k that filled ahead of yours then.
mine filled at .0074 on an all-or-none with a limit price of .0079, go figure
i own 2 of the beastmode shirts and theyre my favorite shirts for playing basketball or working out in general. most comfortable shirts ive got
the black/green one has been washed over 20 times at least in the 2 months ive had it and the vinyl letters/logo is completely intact (no fade either on that vinyl, just the black)
cant lie though, im sure there's the homer bias since i own the stock. but i try to be objective
i look at it as a collaboration between the UFC and MP to normalize the sport when it comes to body chem...
with TRT and other methods of obtaining peak physical condition, i'd say the UFC has a vested interest in this area
not saying this was the motivation, but it's early, and i slept at a holiday inn last night...

sky's falling fellas...
carry on
keep it up bud. You provide the fuel that we, the faithful, require at this time.
the funniest thing about this stock is the number of hangers-on it retains after they've allegedly sold. It even attracts bitterness from those who've apparently made hundreds of thousands of $$$ trading the stock...
too funny

On the 10k (2011) in mentioned that according to studies performed in '07 the Sports Beverage industry was somewhere in the area of $24 billion annual, compared to less than $3b for supplements.
With the introduction of Amino-1, is this not an attempt at penetrating that market?
Bryce Harper has been on a tear lately after slumping after the all-star break
Remember, the Nationals have the best record in baseball and will be a spotlight team in October when only the playoff teams remain
With very few teenagers ever being involved in post-season play, it could be interview/exposure central. The networks eat that stuff up because it's easy programming
They've picked some amazing talent in a variety of sports, and while some have been flops lately (Ocho, Rampage); they both at the time of signing had HUGE followings that had to have helped MP get to where it is now
I use the Ameritrade Mobile App for Android and L2 works perfectly, not sure how it translates to ios though...

I have big hopes for this one, seems like a product with high turnover...
any input from the supplement pros in here?
i did as well, not much but i added 50k @ .0106 right before the close yesterday.
bought 100k right before the Q @ .0129 last week, still positive...
if this shit's goin' down, im goin down with it
I was able to do this on my etrade account yesterday.
quick transfer takes a day to pull from my bank over to the brokerage, but etrade makes those funds available to me immediately and I was able to buy yesterday without a problem.
They don't call it express funding, but it sounds like a similar mechanism
does anyone know where i can find the total volume for the 3 months apr-jun 2012?
i have both black and grey beast mode shirts and wear them anytime i'm going to play bball or anywhere that i figure potential customers may recognize the logo.
in fact, this weekend i wore them for my flights to and from and made sure to walk around the airport with a #beast like strut...
only wish they'd bring back the fight shorts, never got a chance to scoop a pair of those
TDA does not allow trading of MSLP due to DTC Chill.
Until it is lifted, you can try Scottrade, Etrade. Fidelity might work too, but i don't have an account with them to verify.
Regarding the negativity on this message board, the more negative it gets, the better i feel about my investment.
not selling anything till at least .14 (fully diluted) or RS equivalent...
so what if all these discounted shares being issued was a necessary part of a move to in-house manufacturing?
is that a fair possibility?
I always try to look at both sides of everything, and the directors of this company have definitely pulled shady sht throughout the time i've been in the stock. in hindsight, i applaud cory and bluher for not buying shares in the 2's when they knew they were dropping the hammer shortly after...
BUT...
the brand... the frickin brand stuck, and my gut tells me it's here for good.
I'm a positive person to a fault, and so the way I reason with the most recent filings is that sometimes you have to take a step back to take two steps forward. Hopefully q2 filing is that proverbial first step in the right direction...
i averaged UP yesterday and bought another 100k @ .0129
almost immediately the ask went to .0145 for what seemed like the balance of the day
but I like the optimism, we need more of that around here
There's another promotion that has potential, which is Strikeforce (Mainly women's division, men's has been purged of almost all star power)
MP has had center mat(almost covers the whole ring) at strikeforce events for at least the last 3-4 cards.
Ronda Roussey seems to be pretty marketable person, and has already proven she can carry a main card. Hopefully women's MMA takes off in Strikeforce and MP continues with their promo campaign in that area.
The other thing is, Frank Mir is going to fight Daniel Cormier under the Strikeforce banner. Mir has a good following and will bring in additional viewers.
FOX card is this weekend, headlined by the Shogun vs Vera fight as well as Machida vs Bader...
Next weekend (8/11) is the Edgar vs Henderson rematch in Denver, this is also when the MP/Rashad Evans/UFC promo is supposed to happen.
Also have FOX 5 in October with Travis Browne (MP) as the headliner fighting Bigfoot...
any of these would be a welcomed comin' out party...
