Thank you sir. Looks like it's been heard by a lot of us. We're bidding hard right now :)
Here's what I found from a PR:
"Currently, BiVi Sicilian Vodka is available in New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Illinois, Nevada, Florida, and Connecticut."
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/bivi-sicilian-vodka-doubles-product-130000769.html
Then again that was a while back so the list may be getting longer by the month. The deal with Foxwood's Casino, I would assume, would be a decent bell ringer for the brand. This is in addition to other markets. Plus hoping to see confirmation of the new prosecco line along with celebrity endorsement. If you read my earlier post, I have my strong assumptions based on what I've been able to find.
Yessir. ICNB could be a monster in itself. Just need to see the sales figures and I'm hoping that backs up everything the company is doing with BiVi. Now for Bellissima, that's a whole other story because it's still pre launch and pre "Official" celebrity announcement. But I think I cracked the code lol

Yea I agree. For ICNB did you see what I posted Re: the label?
Aside from that though...Christie Brinkley?!?! Do you know who that is? lol. She's still one of the hottest models I've ever seen and she's 60!
Looks like ICNB bounced off of a very clean support level that's held since August. Just my opinion
ICNB-Last week they announced BiVi won a gold medal at the Artisan Spirits Awards. And if you check out my link, I think I found out who they will announce as being the celebrity spokesperson for their new line of Prosecco's that's launching I think this spring.

Iconic to Launch a Line of Organic Prosecco Wines With Celebrity Spokesperson
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/iconic-launch-line-organic-prosecco-123000179.html
The label looks like it's been approved and the image of it shows a line under the name that reads "Con Amore, Christie Brinkley"
https://www.ttbonline.gov/colasonline/viewColaDetails.do?action=publicFormDisplay&ttbid=16026001000055
coincidence?????
I think ICNB looks ripe for a possible continuation here. Thoughts? Thank you for your insight as well.
Check out this nugget of gold I think I just unearthed. I did some extra digging to see if I could find more info on the link I posted last week regarding them getting approval for their Prosecco label...well...I did and I think it may be revealing who the actual celebrity might be for the new line....If it's who I think it is, this could be an absolute rocket launch for the Bellissima brand.
Remember the announcement? "Iconic Brands, Inc. (OTC PINK: ICNB) will announce a line of organic Prosecco Italian sparkling wines and reveal its internationally recognized celebrity spokesperson in an exclusive article to appear in an upcoming issue of a nationally syndicated magazine."

It's the link showing the approval of the label for the Prosecco (also shown). The image of the front label showing the angelic woman has the words "Con Amore, Christie Brinkley" !!!!!!
@ZLM you know I've been long RXMD and look for companies that have real stuff. I wouldn't normally DM something like this but another stock I've been watching, ICNB, has gotten the same kind of haters that RXMD had despite that they have a real product (i've drank it before at a restaurant in Ft Lauderdale) and I've been able to see first hand what management has been working toward. Vlumes been picking up and more consistently at that. Furthermore, I think I've found out who their new celebrity spokesperson is...maybe a little bit of oversight on their part but might be a great little "rumor" that's just started to circulate:

Solid close and rounded out to a great week +20% and volume's building up
I'm hoping so. Look at the chart from the last 2 weeks. Volume significantly spiking in comparison to previous weeks/months. Despite the price, at least it seems like there is a much more active market in my opinion.
What a "textbook" bottom bounce chart. At least that's what it looks like to me.
Could this be something we hear about in a PR soon? Labeling approved for the Bellissima prosecco:

RXMD Great article: "Most Undervalued Pharmacy Stock Today?"

Most Undervalued Pharmacy Stock...great article. Thanks for sharing
Nice little run happening here.
Was wondering that myself. I got excited to see a new market maker but after seeing it in action...I really don't know what to think of LAMP lol GREAT DAY ALL THE SAME!
WOW looks like that there could be much bigger things to come. Long RXMD
Chart is starting to really look good here. I know it's been light volume but the week started with a 0002x0003 spread and today we are 0003x0004. Every tick means progress to me :). Now .....what is the company doing in 2016??? lol
I can almost taste it :)
I think potential. There's obvious dilution but when this actually sees positive trading, it tends to move up decently. Also I feel that there is a lot of announcements they still need to confirm on, mainly the new celebrity endorsement of their prosecco and we also need to see some sales numbers from the holidays. I don't think this one is like many of the other OTC's that "talk a good game"...there's just the whole small cap funding that needs to work in tandem with any kind of favorable market...just my opinion. http://bit.ly/1UOpLhD
Man we hit 04 at the open. Damn sellers get outta the way and let it run lol
I mean yea the process would have already had to have been announced and I would assume a forward split of some sort. I think the volume is there, the market risk of dillution from a higher price doesn't really exist at this point in my opinion so it would just come down to all of us longs either holding while big funds start sniffing around OR just keep adding at the same valuation but just a higher price and a higher exchange. #dreams lol
Without any kind of toxic financing in here, I agree. I think it could easily be a candidate for uplisting someday
Very cool. I think it's just a matter of time. we see some decent financials and this is a completely different discussion.
But yet in your previous posts you have adamantly stated that they haven't had any real products and that they are not a real company or they don't win real awards...the same old, how you say, "rinse and repeat" story. You can spin it negatively like you are or you can look into the company, call the company, do real DD and understand that they are just starting to hit the ground here. Look at that filing date, Sept 30...the majority of the company's progress and in turn reflected by the number of announcements, has happened AFTER that quarter ended.
As I've said in the past, I would like to see what the numbers look like at the end of the First quarter of this year to really see the tale of the tape. Continuing to harp on 6 year old pumps can easily be said for almost ANY OTC. Many of which were previously "active shells" but because they had some kind of asset, they most likely never hit "shell status".
It takes real products to make an OTC into a viable company. I could be placing my foot in my mouth come March/April but with a new product launched and the overall reach & appeal that this prosecco brand could have above and beyond BiVi, there's a reason why many of us are long on this. The price will eventually take care of itself in my opinion. Anyone who's developed something from the ground up will go through growing pains especially with people constantly beating very old and warn out dead horses..caugh caugh lol
Sparkling Wines Seen Driving World Consumption Growth to 2019
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-02-14/sparkling-wines-seen-driving-world-consumption-growth-to-2019
Sparkling wines are poised to lead growth in the global wine market from 2015 to 2019, with rose wines and premium labels also driving expansion, according to the Bordeaux-based international wine and spirits exhibition Vinexpo.
While worldwide wine consumption looks set to rise 1.4 percent over the period, sparkling wines, which account for 8 percent of the total, will advance 7.4 percent, according to an e-mailed study released this week from Vinexpo. Rose wine consumption, which accounts for 9 percent of still light wines consumed, will grow by 2.2 percent and premium still light wines are forecast to rise 12 percent, Vinexpo said.
Sparkling wine.
The prediction for renewed growth comes after global consumption of still light wine fell 1.2 percent in 2014 to 2.4 billion 9-liter cases, led by declining consumption in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, according to Vinexpo, which drew on International Wine and Spirit Research data. North America remains a growing market. Sluggish growth in world economies, combined with stricter laws against drinking and driving in many regions and broader publicity over health issues, have contributed to the decline.
“What we’ve seen in the last survey is the emergence of sparkling wine globally,” Vinexpo Chief Executive Officer Guillaume Deglise said in a telephone interview. “Mainly prosecco is driving the category. Rose wine is also quite strong.”
Deglise said demand in China is picking up again after a downturn sparked by government measures against gift-giving, with consumers now driving sales rather than corporate buyers.
“The market is recovering, but in a different way from before,” Deglise said. “It seems Chinese consumers are real consumers, which creates a lot of opportunity for exporters.”
Some good picks to start the week: http://bit.ly/20zHYkG
ICNB 6 month support holding strong AND volume picking up a lot more consistently over the last few days. Watching for technical breakout
Agreed. Seeking Alpha Contributor also agrees by the look of it from this piece I came across tonight:
Markets Are Red Again But These Safe Haven Stocks Continue To Weather The Storm
http://seekingalpha.com/instablog/10425141-small-cap-reporter/4696636-markets-red-safe-haven-stocks-continue-weather-storm
Agreed. Still without any toxic debt holders, there's really no reason that this couldn't jump...just my two cents but it seems pretty simple...no heavy hands holding it back, how could it stay down here if we catch a run? Meanwhile, the company REALLY needs to give us some updates.
Don't forget, if you've been paying attention to futures markets, we may be due for a bullish open market-wide so it could be yet another catalyst for a strong open.
Some info on ICNB and the potential as written via an opinion report on the industry and company:
The Craft Attracting Millennials Is More Than You Think & Investors Are Taking Interest; Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE:STZ), Brown-Forman Corporation (NYSE:BF.B), Diageo plc (ADR) (NYSE:DEO), Iconic Brands Inc (OTCMKTS:ICNB)
For decades, the vodka industry has tried to work extremely hard to make itself a successful portion of the much larger alcohol industry, and they have done just that; in the last few years, vodka sales have been taking up an increasing portion of the alcohol industry. Albeit consumers are changing their preferences, many still prefer vodka when it comes to consuming alcohol. For instance, in the United States, all of the top ten vodka brands saw revenue growth of two percent in 2014. Vodka is definitely growing and an area to consider, but first, you need to know about ‘the craft,’ and millennials.
Part of those consumer preferences that I mentioned and are changing include an inclination towards craft liquor, but what is craft liquor? Well, when someone is farming heirloom grain near their distillery, buying grain neutral spirits from a commodity vendor, and pushing it through a charcoal filter, the product will be called “handcrafted vodka.” Because this is an increasing trend, smaller brands have been profiting by labeling themselves “premium drinks.”
This increase of interest in craft vodka has helped the industry develop; it turns out that these products have been much more trendy among millennials, who have continued to keep the vodka market successful and to increase the attention that craft drinks are seeing. Bloomberg Business reports that American millennials are transferring their attention to smaller craft brands while the larger vodka producers are fighting to maintain control of the market. According to market analyst Rabobank, the spirits market is more focused on craft than ever before, with distillers growing at double-digit rates.
It is not just the brand, though, that is contributing to this trend. Smaller producers are coming out victorious when it comes to being innovative with their designs and marketing. For instance, BiVi, a new brand, has been commended for its unique handcrafted Sicilian vodka, which received a celebrity endorsement from A Bronx Tale’s Chazz Palminteri. The innovation can also be seen through its distinct bottle design with grappa bottle packaging. BiVi is sold under Iconic Brands Inc (OTCMKTS:ICNB) and is in a position to draw considerable attention from millennials and vodka enthusiasts.
All in all, craft spirits have been increasingly successful and of great benefit to smaller brands that produce vodka. Now, the other side contributing to the success of the market is the consumer. The usual buyers for vodka are millennials just turning 21. Millennials consumers are those aged from 21-34, and they are the largest consumer portion of the vodka market. They will also be consumers of the future, companies predict. As previously mentioned, these consumers are buying smaller vodka companies rather than larger companies.
The Spirits Business notes that this month, a large portion of millennials will not “spend their money on mass-market alcoholic beverages.” But the question is, why is there so much of an affinity towards smaller companies rather than the large players in the market? Well here are some reasons that experts have come up with: a desire for exclusivity and a liking for information. Small spirits are naturally exclusive and for millennials who are searching for just that, the newer spirit companies are very attractive. Another quality that millennials hold is that they like to know where their products come from; this is evident through their preference of organic food markets such as Whole Foods. Because craft spirits and premium drinks are becoming more popular, the market as a whole is as well.
So, in closing, why are these trends so specific to millennials? Well, it turns out that they are consistently organizing their beliefs and are driven by legitimacy, discovery, sharing and belonging. To the average millennial, feeling like one’s own person is crucial, and they enjoy having the choice of which spirits brand they are going to have next. What this contributes to most is the confidence of a millennial. Spirits could help them express their preferences and have fun at the same time. In the end, thanks to trending craft developments and the particular preferences of millennials, small vodka companies are developing significantly and may be worth an investment not only from individual investors but the larger “big box” distributors & brands as well.

Evening Pete. ICNB bottom chart, volume picking up, and some larger bids firming from 0008 through 0011 Thursday/Friday. I think it may have finally found a market. So many weeks of spiratic or possibly inflated market value but now we're starting to see a more consistent trading pattern here.
Fantastic analysis on RXMD. Conservative is the key word here. Anyone have actual numbers for the pharmacy industry on the real multiplier? I would be interested to find out and compare using real industry figures.
