BTW, why would someone like Drexler or Nelson Obus buy 1M shares each if they did their homework like any huge investor would if there is a chance this thing is a house of cards and will go under. Drexler jut put down over $4M in his investment and Obus about $9M in his. These guys see $50 per share not a house of cards. Don't for Arnold, Dr. Frost and Tiger. All have significant $$$ at stake either cash like Dr. Frost or the others with their shares, reputation and considerable commissions when MSLP succeeds.
Who do you believe ? Someone who puts up millions or ihub trolls who have an ax to grind with MSLP!!
You are one of the most confusing people on the face of this earth. Most don't have a clue as to the points you are trying to make.
Wow that is a huge premium. It can only mean big things for mslp. I wonder what the vega profits looks like.
Institutional Investors , can anyone give us a name of a company that when an large shareholder(s) starts to make demands like we just had with Wynnfield their stock goes down.
I can only think that this is great news and it would not surprise me one bit if Drexler is involved as well.
This is only good stuff and the SEC and Wynnfield will keep an eye on Brad and company to make sure we are legit and the outside shareholders are being looked out for. I highly doubt that the company will be put up for auction but they will make sure they are doing things by the books.
We go up and if numbers are great for Q2 like we expect based on Brads guidance, we get over $10 quickly.
and how does one know that??
I would like to think that this is worth a buck or two on the pps over the course of the week. That is a good start. Brad probably never thought that he could lose control of his company playing in the little league otc markets. Now he has big boys watching him. I am surprise that Nelson did not do this a while ago.
Do you think these guys are in bed with our new investor Ryan Drexler in going after MSLP now? They could have done this anytime over the last 2 years. The both have approx 1M shares and equate to about 15% of the company.
This will get very interesting now as Brad is under the watchful eye of multiple big players who may stretch the bounds of decency when it comes to investing but will be in this to increase "our" shareholder value. We now have someone on our side who will keep these guys in line.
Turk, what is the May 31 waiver mean from ANB. Is that being compliant for their loan? And if so why would there be a heavy short today?
I don't think the executives will be selling anything until there is a buyout. That is their end game. Hopefully that will be at much higher prices.
Frost owns over 400K shares as well.
MSLP Major Holders:
There were 13,468,876 shares outstanding as of May 6, 2015. This quick list that I put together encompasses most of the insiders/hedge funds/endorsers that own stock totaling 6.34 million shares (47% of the outstanding shares).
Brad Pyatt - 975,000
John Price - 100,000
Andrew Lupo - 20,000
Wynnefield Capital - 1,040,000
Consac LLC - 1,000,000
Tiger Woods - Roughly 420,000
Arnold Schwarzenegger - 780,000
Cory Gregory - roughly 500,000
James Greenwell - 162,000
Richard Estalella - 370,000
Jeremy Deluca - 370,000
Various Mutual & Hedge Funds - 600,000
You speak in a way that confuses people. How does this relate to frost.
Arbitrage
DEFINITION OF 'ARBITRAGE'
The simultaneous purchase and sale of an asset in order to profit from a difference in the price. It is a trade that profits by exploiting price differences of identical or similar financial instruments, on different markets or in different forms. Arbitrage exists as a result of market inefficiencies; it provides a mechanism to ensure prices do not deviate substantially from fair value for long periods of time.

Someone posted this over on Yahoo earlier . Any thoughts??
Can someone please tell me how the Consac shares were acquired? Was this an open market purchase or a private placement. There was never any real volume during the rise from 4-7 and with an average price of the shares they own at $4.10 it looks more like a private placement. Maybe part of it was Brad's 100K share sale that happened a few days ago.
sorry this is the quote off of his profile.
"You talk in a way that creates an atmosphere were nobody wants to listen to you - by my wife "
Consac, LLC just posted a 13D . They are now the happy owners of 1M shares of MSLP.

I believe we go up from here.
Cover shorts.
and looking at it from a slightly different angle, what if they beat guidance by $10M - $20M and margins creep up to say 35%-37%. We are now wildly profitable and the stock surges. If we only have .19c to play with for the remaining 3 quarters, positive surprises should be easy to come by.
i believe the current stock price is showing this and i do not believe codie saying take your profits now and scalp this thing. I think we have a stock that will be back to double digits soon enough. maybe sept / oct timeframe
Sorry to disappoint but I am + 6 figures on mslp. If history repeats itself we go much higher from here. Take a look at the chart from mid may last year to mid october. 6 ish to 14 ish. That is where we are heading. Next stop over 9 back to the 200 day MA.
BTW, to add one more thing to my last post, don't forget that everything that is being done with the company, ie. compliance, sec closure, new board members, etc are all being completed to get onto the nasdaq. That could happen at any time as well. What is that worth. They have cleaned up the company very nicely and will continue to do that.
OK, maybe I was a year late on my prediction for $20 but it could very well happen this year.
The truth of the matter is nobody ( Longs or Shorts ) no much about what is really going on. If you believe that they are building a power house and that the past is the past you are long. If you cannot let go of the past because you lost so much money and just want to bash the company at every turn, you are very short but could be doomed.
The is too much going on that is positive with the company to short in my opinion. When you have some of the folks involved like Frost and Arnold and the new guys that have just joined, you may get knocked around but in the end the big guys will have their day. And their day will be a buyout at much higher prices. It may be in 2-3 years but I will stay put and trade around a core. $5 to $50 one day is in store for us. Trade the core and stay long. My next sell will be back near the old highs. Maybe $13.
Think about the vertical integration and then they announce partnerships with Kroeger, Target, maybe 7/11. We jump 2-3 bucks on that news alone. Codie, Deep and Learning Challenged, jump on board for the next wave up.
It is very funny that when the stock runs from 4 to 7 very rapidly you don't see any of our basher speaking up. The longs are always around for the downturns but when it runs the board go quiet.
The shorts must be a bit nervous. I guess now that I opened up my mouth I will be bashed.
Anyway, I am now up on my 3rd go round with mslp and each one very profitable. First over $50K , second time about $25K and now holding a $12K profit. Thanks for driving the price down shorts. I appreciate it.
Turk, I know you are doing great now as well. Congrats and congrats to all longs.
90% of all business will be going through Biozone and Capstone. That is the power of keeping your business in house and not outsourcing. This will translate into much higher margins going forward.
This was one of the best conf calls mslp ever had. Up .58c shows that the street is on board with the message. now they have to hit the numbers and hopefully get the -.75c they are expecting to a breakeven. Currently cash flow positive. Doing the right things to get out of the SEC investigation. I say we go much higher now.
Turk, did not read the details just yet but have read the PR. I don't think we tank tomorrow, I think we drop early a few nickles maybe then up for the day, maybe close to $5 if we are lucky.
I think they are the way back. As you said, margins going up is a great thing, confirm numbers for the year with that $17M backlog. If they can do $40M again for the quarter with that $17M backlog we are looking at a great Q2 and we are already half way through.
Lets see what they say tomorrow on the call but I suspect we have seen the bottom and it is up from here.
Also, I do not want to see Brad as the Chairman of the Board. Keep him as CEO. With 5 new independent board members we have a chance of seeing Brad taken out easier than if he chairman the board. If that was the case the board would just be puppets as they have been. Just my .02c.
What the F is this now??

The Wynnefield
Reporting Persons have recently communicated their dissatisfaction with certain corporate governance practices of the Issuer
to the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Wynnefield Reporting Persons are pleased that the
Issuer announced today that it was addressing a number of these issues – confirming its intent to separate the roles of
Chairman and CEO by December 31, 2015. The Wynnefield Reporting Persons will continue to monitor the Issuer’s progress
in achieving these objectives.
Other than as set forth
in this Item 4, the Wynnefield Reporting Persons do not have any current plans, proposals or negotiations that relate to or would
result in any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Wynnefield Reporting Persons
intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis, and to the extent permitted by law, may seek to engage in
discussions with other stockholders and/or with management and the Board of the Issuer concerning the business, operations or future
plans of the Issuer. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position, the price
levels of the shares of Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Wynnefield
Reporting Persons may, in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate
including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock, selling shares of Common Stock, engaging in short
selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Common Stock, taking any other action with respect to the
Issuer or any of its securities in any manner permitted by law or changing its intention with respect to any and all matters referred
to in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4.
Who is the "Board" anyway?? This is Brad's company for him to run it as he pleases. This is the issue that I struggle with. If Brad and company exec's are pig headed, why haven't they sold a single share when the stock was at $14? They were buying back shares at that level. So I ask, is Brad in this for his salary and bonus or to make $50 - $75 Million. That takes getting the product line rounded out, grow revenues , become very profitable, then sell the company for $50 - $75 per share. That is what he is doing. Short term hits, clean up the SEC BS, keep the company moving forward, and in 6 months , 12 months 2 years everything will be fine and the stock will seek it's rightful place much higher.
Hey Turk, this is obviously great news and should take a huge weight off mslp moving forward. The questions I have pertain to this statement:
The Company is also aware that the SEC staff is considering the possibility of proposing that the SEC Commissioners approve charges against certain former officers, in their individual capacity, for violations of the federal securities laws.
What does this mean to the company and the individuals. Are they going to be fines levied against them as individual that will not affect the company?
They do state that whatever the SEC is doing will not have a material affect on the company which is great news for shareholders. I think this opens the stock up for some great appreciation as long as they can get back on the profitability path.
Turk, join magchat and I will talk to you over there. search it out. has a lot to do with admp and warm.
Whatever deal they are making with the C Stores will probably be announced in a few weeks. They let the stock take the beating it did, it will recover a bit over the next week or so back to 5 - 6. Then announce who will be selling the drinks. Then pop back up to the 8 range. Right back to where we started. Then have a great Q1 (the back to normal quarter) and back to 10. Then execute on the rest of the year and over achieve the #'s. Back to 15.
I'm with you turk. 6k just under $3. Brad has to go, simple as that. No trust.
Wow on mslp. How can something this bad happen to the stock. Yes it was a horrible qtr but a 66% haircut. What is next a class action??
Pancho, I agree with everything you are saying. But..... and it is a big but. Brad has not done what he says he is going to do. Here is a list of things that are bothering me at this time.
1. Not allowing Q & A on conf call. This just tells me he does not want to have to face wall street and his investors. That is a chicken sxxx move.
2. Constantly missing guidance. He does not have a handle on his business.
3. He said at the end of the last conf call that he would provide an update in January just like he did the previous year. That never happened and then he drops a horrible quarter and blames it on some BS that 2 MSLP customers did in Q4.
4. $1M in the bank and he is giving $250K to his high school. This is an outright waste of money at this point in time.
5. Telling investors that vertical integration is going to increase margins then give guidance of the same paltry 31%-33%. That is horrible. Wrong direction.
6. No update on the SEC investigation. Sounds like there is more to hide and Brad does not want to face wall st on this.
7. Stock down over 50% right now on this great quarter. How do you explain the positive spin on the quarter that Brad put on it vs. market reaction???
Turk, buy admp. Just grab 1k shares or what ever you can afford. its gonna run.
There are soooo many experts out there telling every company how to run their business. All these experts mean nothing to mslp or any dr frost company or to mslp's core business. They are small people who are just trying to drive the price down. Buy and hold for the run. It is coming.
Do you have any proof that Dr. Frost is shorting any stock or just speculating?
Yes I agree. Go long admp, opk, cocp, mslp,hart,tik, nvax,drne
Good morning 8's. Hope to see you soon 9's.
Besides speculation, is there anything that makes you say this? Do you have anything that supports this? If not it is more than speculation. How about it is my specutlation that 7/11 will be carrying the new drink lines and that they have committed to doing $200M in this product set over the next year. Just my speculation!!
I think this show could be mslp's greatest as they get to show off their new drinks and arnold products. 20 by the end of the year.
I believe that great things are in store for mslp. Lots to look forward to. Especially the new products and manufac agreements.
