How many throughtout the entire system?
Estimates are for well over 2 trillion shares market wide to the tune of $24 trillion.
13000 hedge funds are calculated to be worth $24 trillion collectively.
How coincidental.
Boone Pickens talks of the $700 billion spent on foreign oil to be the greatest transfer of wealth this world has ever seen.
Mr. Pickens has not been introduced to the world of naked shorting.
It also means the SEC is painfully aware of every single stock out there that is being naked shorted and for how many shares. That also means they know exactly who is doing it.
And here we are.
Hmmmmmm
Yes, it does mean something. We were right all along on the FTD's. It also means that the SEC isn't even close to accounting for the last 11 months of the same nonsense.
Way for than 33k I can assure you of that.
That is hilarious OT! Since we are in the "boredom doldrums" I thought I'd play along with you!
The secret to success comes in many forms when we talk about a particular liquor or liquor brand standing out above the others. We have mentioned numerous times even in DKAM's infancy the similarities to HANS in moving from start up to seasoned sales giant in the marketplace. The energy drink sector is becoming crowded but not as much as the liquor space.
As with most business ventures you hear of "niche market" for many players. It boils down to differentiation as the leading factor to a company rising above all the others in its space. It will be great to have all these iconic brands out there. The differentiation on the surface comes in the celebrity tying his or her name to the product. It says a fan of that celebrity wants to drink their liquor product. However, we have two bridges we have to cross with all of DKAM's products. We need to pick up as many of the current cognac and sparkling vodka drinkers out there. Not just try DRE but make DRE their liquor of choice. We also need to create new cognac and sparkling vodka drinkers that didn't know these were their beverages of choice before now. Awareness creates a want that then fulfills a need.
So we look again to HANS and its Monster Drink line. Less than 10 million in sales rises to 1 billion. Other than creating more and more points of purchase worldwide how do they grow the business? Finding what they do can move mountains with DKAM's success going forward. You have to create Monster drinkers where they didn't exist before. Learning these trends and applying them to DKAM will send sales just that much higher.
So we look to Monster sitting on a shelf in a case in a convenient store. Not much there over anything else that says "Buy me" other than the overwhelming shelf presence. Grey Goose holds the same hook on the liquor front but they go a step further with mega dollars spent on advertising. Then we have Dre's cognac and sparkling vodkas sitting on a shelf where 90% of the people walking in the door of the liquor store don't know they exist. 90% of the people who walk in the door have no idea yet their favorite drink of choice is Dre's cognac or sparkling vodkas. DKAM and Kenny AND THE DISTRIBUTORS need to bridge this gap early and with authority.
The answer is cross promotions.
Monster grabs the vodka crowd as consumers quickly find a new drink of choice is vodka and Monster. For them, any vodka will do. For us, Trump and Monster is a great play. Raspberry Trump Monster is even more appealing. So many possibilities.
Now we have a sparkling vodka that could land us an enormous wave of new drinkers. Everyone will want to try the sparkling vodka because it's a "new thing." Dre Sparkling Vodka and Monster will draw a landslide of new DKAM consumers. But it doesn't have to be just Monster. It's the hook of wildly popular being married with something not so popular.
So you have to take a look around you and see what works. If you have a perfect handle on your demographic, then you have to be ready to give them a taste of something new and different. Let me offer you a situation of how it works and will work for us. A sleepy little tourist town of maybe 2000 people has one weekend a year that draws maybe 20-30K people for an "annual event." Not too much different than several thousand of these that occur all over the country at various times of the year. I'm sitting in the middle of it right now so I can speak to what I'm witnessing. Everywhere you go in "the business district" are the black and green "M" signs for Monster. Four main bars are offering "Monster Bombs." The local distributor hooked up with Jagermeister and took the popular Jager Bomb to a new level by mixing it with 1/3 regular Monster. Even an outside serving trailer with a band on a block party serving nothing but Monster Bombs at $5 a clip. Banners, promotion, a block party, and you have instant new fans of Monster.
So we go back to my original idea of cross promoting Dre's CD with his vodkas and cognac. Several million people are begging for his CD. DKAM and Kenny simply must put the CD with the liquor offering. Awareness comes instantly in knowing Dre has a new liquor offering to go with his music. Beyond that, we need more. We need to create MORE sparkling vodka and cognac drinkers. This is where the cross promotion from the liquors comes in. Sparkling vodka and Monster works. Cognac ABC's [Amaretto(DiSaronno), Baileys, and Dre Cognac] and Belfast Bomber's (Baileys and Cognac) work in a cross promotion with Baileys or DiSaronno and Dre's cognac. Cognac and Grand Marnier is also very popular.
Then we can take what we learned from Trump and take it a step further. We had a large amount of Trump Vodka parties with celebrities in the initial launch. But they were "elite" type parties that drew the names but not the numbers.
We have the Google hits to show the interest. We have the market that needs to be bridged to bring the 200 mil bottle per year sparkling vodka and cognac market to Dre's products. We have the audience in about every town in the country, if not Europe, and Asia. The answer for us now lies in tying it all together with management and our distributors. Interscope has those 30 marketing people all looking for the right hook. Interscope comes in and brings us the cross promotional point of purchase sales banners and posters. Kenny can hook us up with the cross promotional liquor offerings. The distributors then MUST take it to the people.
From there, the rest takes care of itself.
You ready?
***MAJOR ALERT*****
Everyone needs to read this post. If you have experienced any trouble whatsoever on DKAM getting orders filled, we need your help.
This would include the timeframe from January 2007 until August 15 of 2008. If you've entered an order that took significant time to fill or an order of size where no shares were filled or particularly an order where you had to call your broker and insist on a fill by contacting the market maker, then we need to hear from you immediately. Also, if you know of someone or yourself, who has Level 3 that has personally observed derogatory DKAM messages or market maker activity that would suggest naked shorting, you also need to contact us. If you can personally document any trade mirroring where your fill to buy saw the identical same # of shares execute instantly on the bid this also warrants you to contact us.
Please send me a private message with your e mail address so I can send you some vital information. This has to be done immediately. If you know of someone who has not been on the board here in awhile and you have contact with them away from here, please let them know of this situation.
If you have any interest in DKAM appreciating in value and feel something is not quite right here and have personally observed anything that does not seem right, then please take a few moments to contact us and we'll fill you in on the next step.
I will post some info at the bottom of the iBox above for those who will only show up when the stock hits $.50.
OK ladies. Lookie here.
August 2006. Then September. Then Oct, Nov, Dec.

I said before a stock's history means nothing about what the future will hold. Yet, stocks remember.
The timing for Dre is identical to Trump. Well, we're actually two months ahead.
Get ready.

You'll find this very interesting. Every once in awhile I like to try something new and different. We all do I believe. So I popped over to Panera Bread for lunch today. Great food. Good atmosphere. When I get in there, I'm looking up at the board, then I look down into a cooler. It's full of Jones Soda JSDA pure cane sodas. Several different flavors.
I get to the checkout and the manager is there. I guess she was short handed. Anyway, I asked her about the Jones and how it was selling. She said it was funny I should ask. They have a bunch of it and she said they might have sold two dozen in the 6 months she had been manager of the store. Strange she would just say that but perhaps she was wondering if she could get approval to put it on sale.
So, it got me to thinking. Why not check some things out further. So I tooted to the other side of the complex and into Target. I asked three different checkout girls how the Jones was selling. Two of them didn't even know what I was talking about. One said she remembered selling a couple in the past week or so.
This is a stock that went from $2 to $33 in about a month remember?
So time for gas. I popped into the busiest convenient store in my area. The manager was behind the counter. I told her I was heavily invested In HANS and was wondering how sales were going. She said with this recession and the gas prices, nothing is selling great. She said it takes up loads of space in her coolers and the novelty appears to have worn off. I told her to approximate. She said she might have sold a half dozen in a week. It's the guys that buy it to mix with their liquor of choice. Now, this is a stock that went from 50 cents to $400.
I think the huge difference here was I only had to go 500 yards to find Jones in 2 locations. And of course about every minute market in the country has Monster. Hey, its great if you're selling. It sucks if you're not because you become commoditized in a big hurry.
So, we know your sales soar when your product first comes out. Then when sales taper, the price comes way down.
The numbers are the numbers and we'll be just fine.
This is a must listen! I put it up last month and nobody commented on it. Take the time while things are quiet and maybe everyone will begin to understand.
Seems awfully suspicious Chariman Cox came out with the SEC's special rule on naked shorting two days after this aired.
The bad guys don't have to listen since they wrote the story. Redundancy has no place in the market or this stock.
http://groups.google.com/group/total_truth_sciences/browse_thread/thread/aca790ad0e71d94b
Tir? Get to Rilo. Time for complete silent mode. No talk about anything that is coming. Not even PMs. If we can shake the weakest now, all the better as there is only about 50K sitting between here and .40. Of course, if you put the order in, they magically go find the shares that aren't even for sale.
The stock will do what it's supposed to do. A dead board usually gives the biggest returns.
The one thing they never counted on is that somebody ELSE has Level 3 to document their every move.
It's all coming to bare now.
Now how is it only 3 orders allowed to go through at the ask today? And how is it that 90000 shares KNEW there was 90000 shares sitting on the bids at .27 and .265 to buy. There is no apparent interest to anyone watching that any wants to buy this stock yet more than 90000 shares is sitting on the bids "just in case" somebody needs to go.
And for everyone out there, brokers don't sell margin calls at 1 minute before close. That was trader initiated.
Plus I looked and at least two instances of trade mirroring today. I like this one. 1000 buys .29 and then 1720 buys .28. Then 8 seconds later 2720 shares hits the bids at .27. Tell me how you get a locate in 8 seconds?
Naked shorting my friends. Documenting all of it. They obviously wanted those 90K covered that were hiding on the bids. Pretty neat game if you can never lose money.
NITE is going down. They forgot this company has the money to bring them down just in the wealth of its board of directors.
Well until somebody else tries it I guess I'm the only one to rely on for the failure to execute orders. I was gone today. Stopped by a buddy's place and he tried once again to send 100K limit GTC at .30. He put it in around 11:30 eastern. Not a single share all day. Second time for him. I saw it. He printed all the supporting documents and was sending his complaints this PM. Makes perfect sense now why the stock got no interest off a blizzard of worldwide press.
I guess GTC now means Good Til Cows jump over moon.
He is P**sed! He agrees with me that at this rate we could get our buyout offer for $30 and it will go to 10 cents.
This is unf***inbelievable. Yes, I am fuming.
OK so what's the deal with ARCA? We were told a month ago I think by Halcy that SBSH and ARCA were no longer exectuting trades on DKAM. I've tried routing to both several times and no go.
How do they just suddenly show up? Somebody try to queue an order to buy and see if it takes. You know it won't execute. Just route it to ARCA and see if it queues for tomorrow. Then cancel it.
This is hugely messed uo if the bad guys can use an ECN that nobody else has access to.
That would be trade mirroring. 1000 shares buys. 1000 shares hits the bid.
They use the shares that bought to short against the stock until the trade settles. The question is, do they ever cover.
Highly doubtful.
When the volume is so low, you can catch these guys committing all sorts of crimes. And they could care less when the police are no where to be found.
I got an e mail back about 4 weeks ago that said pre orders for the cognac were "mounting."
That is of course before this week. I know from Trump that when the samples arrived, the company started a blitz of the distributors once they had samples.
I would have to assume the same is happening again only on a broader scale.
History is absolutely no indicator of future events. However as the saying goes, "stocks remember."
Rather a ridiculous statement as though stocks were living, breathing things. But this stock is behaving identically to the way it did two years ago at this time. The announcements were made and some were waiting. Many got tired of waiting. Then the volume fell to virtually zero.
From there a phenomenal run.
Stocks remember. We remember. As I said before, they will come. I just hate everyone will have a chance to get the stock so darn cheap.
If I had to guess, not one single person bought from DME. Seems odd that, as I said before, that DME was telling people the price of the stock was depressed because of a bad quarter ending Dec. 31.
I'd sure like to be a part of those conversations David is having where now he is telling his customers the price is down because of an earnings turnaround and a worldwide blizzard of news about the upcoming products.
We could sell tickets. And should. Only buying going on over at D.E.'s place.
This is how you do it. INSM hit multi year lows recently at .39. Flushed a lot of them out. Stock takes off on a tear in advance of earnings to .97. No real earth shattering news. Stock retraces. Earnings hit a loss of 4 versus 2 cents. No real reaction. Stock hits fib line and bounces. Now taking off today.
I'm not recommending it. Just pointing to the fact that nobody has any trouble getting any size order to fill and the stock with little in the way to offer anybody of late, has no problem moving higher.
But hey! Look at it this way. That is all the past. That is what has created this incredible opportunity. Knowing exactly what a stock is going to do is 100% of anything other than the past. Knowing the future as we do, how could it go lower? Even if the bad guys find some way to try and take retail out before they run it, the company will have enough of a windfall of revenues coming in to start buying the stock themselves on a buyback at these ridiculous prices.
I am not implying anything. I am stating for a fact that the price per share is the result of naked shorting. By virtue of the fact that the stock appeared twice in 2007 on the SHO already proves that naked shorting can and does occur on this stock. There have been numerous instances where trades have occurred "ex-clearing" on DKAM meaning they occur outside of the DTCC's settlement process so they won't show up on the SHO list. The majority of the naked shorting was done to drive down the price so that an actual short position could be covered. Problem is that if a hedge is short a large position on DKAM they may not show on the list of shares shorted since they don't have to file their trades or activity anywhere.
The biggest problem though is the right hand to left hand action. NITE has shares whether naked or not that they are selling to themselves on the bids and have been doing so for almost two years. Before that it was SBSH and ARCA where the bad guys were hanging out.
Find out why SBSH and ARCA pulled out and you'll probably find out more than you care to know about the past.
My contention is that somebody, and probably a hedge, wanted to or started to build a large position on DKAM and when they ran into NITE NOT filling orders or blocking the movement to the point they were suffocating the stock, they pulled out of the stock. Net result is SBSH and ARCA went with them.
When you look back on the parabolic run DKAM had in early 2007, there was little resistance to its movement higher. Now look at the past 6 months where so much more good news is on the horizon and the stock is less than 60% lower than it was then.
Just look at what has been happening. When someone comes in to buy 100K of stock and they want a fill they may take the current ask and a penny or two above the ask. In any trading situation, a trade like that will take out the current ask supply and then move to that limit price from the order with the remainder of the shares to be bought making up a new bid where the previous ask was. That does not happen here. Ever. Add to that months and months last year and this year where a trade would cross on the ask and immediately the exact same number of shares would hit the bid. That is trade mirroring and is naked shorting.
That's proof enough for me that somebody has an agenda. It will be interesting to see if they can keep it under 50 cents as the hottest stock in the beverage sector, well, basically forever.
True, But there is a basic fact germain to all stocks and especally to those that reside on the OTC.
This simple fact that ALL companies possess is that by offering stock to the public, they are accepting that they need money for some purpose. For most companies coming to market it is usually to see a business plan come to fruition whether it be globalization, product introductions and enhancements, corporate expansion, elimination of pure debt to creditors, and to fund whatever the copany sees fit to use it for.
Here is where the disconnect comes in. When a company does issue stock they are already behind the eight ball in most cases. They have something they need the money for in order to accomplish. If nothing comes of it immediately, then the short and distort players and the naysayers jump up to gladly tell the world of all their misgivings. They then mount an attack to drive the price into the ground. Then insitutions back off. Then the company might have to raise capital but their substandard pricing makes the normal channels non existent. So they then issue more shares or borrow again. When they do, the bad guys are more than happy to tell you it is the beginning of the end in the subsequent dilution. However, they are usually wrong. Just as coming to market and issuing stock lends to viability to complete a business plan, so does a secondary.
Many stocks have put out secondarys in the past two years. Over 75% of them have gone higher. It's because the company was in trouble and now they have a new lease on life.
Not for DKAM. Nope. One of the worst I've ever seen losing over 96% of its value. That is where we know there is a definitie problem. The company did all the right things and paid the price just by existing. But the price they paid was at the hands of illegal naked shorting. It's the only way they could get it down to the price it went ot and the price it is. Companies showing triple digit aggregate growth over two years do not lose 96% of their value. They go higher. Everyone missed the part where they go higher.
I said it before, the stock hasn't even come back up to fair value given its financial make up and worth to other companies in the sector. Once it does get there, then we can begin to measure the impact of Dre and these other big deals coming. If you want to add them in now, be my guest. Where should it be? $5? $10? $15? $2? $4? 50 cents?
Nowhere should it be a market cap of $23 million. Not when a sector valuation on the company right now places the company at 90 million , or $1.12 minimum based on current sales.
Get it there, then we'll talk about it being a minimum of $5 when the sales hit $20 million.
Amazing how everyone is so quick to label any stock a pump if somebody is talking about a stock going higher. If we had many more buyers it would be going higher. We could mention it is going higher and would it not still be a pump? Right? Drawing reference to any stock for any reason is a pump in any regard. If we had analyst coverage and they made comments about the stock would it not be a pump? If you made positive comments about anything in life would it not be a pump?
The key is not the pump part. The key is the dump. If the stock moves and someone sells for the sheer fact it did move, then whoever mentioned the stock is the one dumping in everyone's eyes. And here is the laughable part. If somebody mentioned it and then doesn't mention it again the way 500 other people insist they should mention it and in the same way, then that person dumped!
Not one single person that filed a 144 in 2007 posted on a single message board. Not one.
It is growing tiresome even defending anything about this company. Apparently the only thing that speaks volumes is the price. Price pumps itself.
Next thing you know if the company releases 15000 cases of pre orders and the stock goes higher some schmoe will jump up and say it is being pumped and dumped.
The world we live in. Ain't it grand?
I'll tell you exactly why it is here.
First it is OTC, it is a start up, and it is losing money. Same thing happened with HANS. A majority of the credibility is lost because it resides in the "Wild West" of investing according to the SEC. There is a predominant belief among the investing world because of more than a few horror stories, that the entire OTC is comprised of pump and dump scams. There are just too many companies out there just creating shares and lumping them onto unsuspecting investors.
There is also the widespread belief that those companies on the OTC, for whatever reason, that have found themselves there BUT have a price above 15 cents or so, have something credible to offer the market.
Still, the major problem you fight is that of arrogance. They actually teach people working for market makers to hate any OTC stock with a passion. In other words, their opinion is any company on the OTC is fundamentally corrupt and is a scam. Therefore, they actually believe they have every right to break any law going with short and distort campaigns or by naked shorting to drive them out of existence. Their personal favorite is the right hand to left hand. Sell shares to themselves on the bid enticing sellers to follow them. Day after day you can rob a company of a majority of its market cap as happened here.
Usually you can escape the depths of the OTC dungeon if two well funded hedges show up to left hand to right hand the stock higher. Trade back and forth to each other to stair step the stock to untold levels. They obviously pick up loads of retail players along the way. Of course, you run the risk that should they choose to leave, then there is nothing to support the price and back down it comes. HANS, CKXE, FRPT, and so many others escaped this fate wildly. But they did so by getting the price high enough to move to another exchange all of them. The hedges used to run OTC stocks about all the time. That stopped over 2 years ago when the market makers just started naked shorting wildly against them.
There are a number of other variables that keep the price down. A lot of fresh money stays away because it was $3.58 and went to 14 cents. Other people stay away because HANS got killed to new 52 week lows. Still others because JSDA went to $33 and then back to $2. These are the people you like to throw out with the bath water. Seriously, they have no business even having access to a buy and sell button. They literally believe that if a stock goes up and then comes down, it used its one and only chance. It can never go higher ever again. If anybody talks about it, they are immediately labeled pumper because everyone feels they are trapped at dramatically higher prices and are trying to dump their shares. Doesn't matter what the news is. They aren't touching it. These are of course the same people who will do one of two things. They will short it if it takes off. Others will buy it once it hits $3.59. Duh.
So your scenario is this. Start up with great Trump news. Stock pops. Stock gets kicked to new all time lows. Trump sells huge for revenues. Stock runs 900% to new all time highs. Company has to back that up. Comes in light next quarter. Two hedge funds that helped the run bail out. Stock comes down. Contractors and those paid in shares see price dwindling. They dump their 144's to get their money. Company does financing to eliminate debt. Company has new lease for at least the next two years. Doesn't matter. Any OTC that does financing is open season to be naked shorted. Stock sets new all time lows as a result. Stock runs hard for a triple off the lows. Fresh new retail players in the stock. Kicks them out on more naked shorting. Stock triples again on Dre news. Hedge goes belly up and has to dump. Now stock controlled by street play that watches pennies. This allows NITE and UBSS to control most of the action.
You need orders to go through. You have to find somebody willing to go in with 300-500K in one trade to move the stock above resistance which the ONLY resistance is NITE. The short shares you see are nil. It's the ones shorted ex clearing you don't see. If you can get that order to fill, then the rest takes care of itself. If they don't fill, and it is the right player, they will create so much flack that NITE will be forced to back off because they will be forcibly removed from the stock.
The move is simple. Somebody with $$$ makes it go. Advance sales news fuels the run. Worldwide sales news fuels the run. Hedges or analysts or both fuel the run. Then the biggie, posting a penny profit says the nakeds and the market makers were wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then people show up from everywhere. Then you get analysts. Then the price goes over $2 or $3. Then the equity kicks above the minimum. Then the hedges hold your price while you get a listing on a higher exchange. Then even more buy with a fury because they MUST own it. Then ALL the people who dissed you and ignored you when it was .30 will be selling other stocks to own DKAM at $5. Why? LMAO!!!! Because it was 30 cents and went to $5. That means it MUST be going much much higher.
The psychology of the misguided and unfortunate brain stems out there. They really do need help.
The only thing that sucks about it is the ones who show up to do it will make $$$millions instantly. They will take 80% of the people here out with only 20% of the move being realized.
Not me. I'm selling with PK on the buyout. He told several people awhile back not to even get worried about these prices. "Stick with me and the plan and you will be able to retire on DKAM."
I'm going with what the CEO knows rather than some manipulating market maker or some other stock in this sector or some 30 cent price.
He knows. He is smarter than most of you realize. And I know he is smarter than some idioso sitting in the third chair from the left at NITE that needs to break laws and commit felonies just to hold this thing back.
Enough to fill the pipeline both US and in Europe.
Since we don't have that PR yet, nobody knows. When you see the PR, it will be sizable.
Pretty simple math.
Does the number even matter? Seriously it doesn't. Any orders are revenues the company has never had before. If it is some, then it can easily be a parabolic growth curve going forward. If it is immense then you run the risk of that curve lessening at the front end before a growth metric is even defined.
Who defines "some", "immense", or "sizable"??
Nobody can on this stock since there are no analysts on the stock. And even then I question their interpretation of any of those variables other than to suit their own needs.
So we're right back to where we were before. Any orders are growing revenue for the company. For a stock sitting at all time lows and the lowest level of any stock losing 8 cents a share across all markets by over 70%, these are questions nobody should have to entertain.
But for you, the numbers are exactly 100% more than they had last quarter and a year ago for Dre's products.
Work from there.
Quite simple. It's pay for performance now. Most of you know how it works. When a company has great news they put it out to any number of players. There is no Reg FD any more. The company lets a certain market maker or hedge know the advance case orders for cognac and vodka. So they come in and load up to move it in advance of the news. They know they win because they will control the bid and ask. They run an algorithm right over the top of NITE and squash them. Most retail will jump up and sell their shares becuase they've waited so long for any movement. You know, "Whew! I better sell above this .50 cuz it could be 6 months again before it gets here." Mr. Hedge just gobbles them up and the retail player stare in disbelief as the stock keep going and going. The company gladly gives up the news because they know it is maximizing shareholder value on the move higher.
Happens all the time. Google the biggest out there on the "pay for performance" plan. Stephen Cohen SAC Partners. Find the Google article where he admits in print that he pays all the time for news in advance so he can control the market.
Just Google Stephen Cohen Business Week
Here's a start:
http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/03_29/b3842001_mz001.htm
Correct. 100 shares and a 22% spread. Absolutely not a bit of resistance in the scheme of things to .40. In fact, this morning it was less than 200K to .40. That is what NITE doesn't want you to know.
Another move up is coming.
UBS back to their old tricks of hitting the bid with less than 1000 shares and then jumping slightly in front of it.
Same deal at .14 to .40 and .20 to .60 and even at .21 to our recent .35.
Another thing I find highly strange. With this BOD and their stature, why are they not talking DKAM everywhere they go? These 700 shareholders can't encompass everyone they know. Why no buying from the folks they know and talk to? All they have to say is,
"You know I'm on the BOD of Drinks Americas. Did you see all the worldwide press we're getting? No? Pretty impressive stuff. You ought to take a close look. Our CEO even says the stock price is severely undervalued and he is a veteran of the beverage industry for many years. Most CEOs don't comment on stock price. This one does because HE knows what's coming. I'd buy a lot more if I could but I'm prohibited from doing so. Gonna be a great run."
That's it. One minute of their time.
Any one of us can do the same thing. This isn't rocket science. Well, I take that back. Algorithms and weight shift and displacement ratios and flow percentages and retracement parabolas.
I guess it is. The science of the duh factor if anything else.
It's every day it seems
All it takes is a few buyers. We get worldwide press and people look at each other sideways. At least from our perspective.
I still contend people are trying to buy blocks and NITE is not letting them execute.
A block is 50000 or above in this case.
With the implications involved, $15K is nothing. $50K is a good start for an entry postion at 150K shares. Nope nothing.
This should be a dream trade and the trades are not executing.
It was two years ago this week I started accumulating shares in DKAM. Kinda tough when it wanted to trade goose eggs. The company was losing 12 cents a share, had a load of debt, and Trump was just an announcement. It was sitting on revs less than 2 million. As for the price? between 50 and 60 cents.
Now they are on 4.5 mil in revs. That of course expected to rise. 90% of the debt is wiped out. The EPS loss has dropped to 8 cents. 40% year over year growth, the largest in the beverage sector. Over 1 millon Google hits for one product.
And the stock is 50% of its value then.
Naked shorting is one thing and seems the way of many that believe it is OK since the company they are attacking is less than two years away......from going away for good.
Well, we're still here.
How much longer before somebody figures it out? This could be the mass hypnosis hedge play of the year. Just one steps up and they can walk it anywhere they wish.
No that's how they do it. MMs take it down to clear bids and that gets retail to put up sells on the ask like these schleps on ETRD and HDSN that want .3070 and .30 because it was just .26. Then they come in and buy up all sellers to gain more shares that wouldn't have been there otherwise.
MMs need shares. Get your bids up. News must be close. Now 22% spread.
****Special Information****
I have been advised to make sure everyone realizes a couple of things that are very important.
The Company issued a press release on August 4th that detailed their most recent earnings ending April 30. Coupled with that, were statements regarding items of corporate significance.
With respect to those items, the company stated the following:
The Company has completed the development, formulation, packaging and branding for the first spirits products arising out of its joint venture with Universal’s Interscope Geffen A&M Records. It is anticipated that the first of these products, a premium cognac through the Company’s venture with music icon Dr. Dre and his Aftermath Beverage Company, will be introduced to the market within the next sixty days.
Here the company announces a name for the equity arrangement derived from its relationship with Dr. Dre. It is called Aftermath Beverage Company. The company then tells you that it anticipates the first product to be introduced from this arrangement will be a premium cognac. The company also tells you that the cognac product in the bottle is all set to sell.
With respect to the production and supply of the Aftermath Cognac, the Company has entered into a letter of intent for the production, supply and European distribution of the cognac with Abecassis Cognac, a producer of premium cognacs. Completion of this agreement will not only give the Company access to a superior and necessary inventory of fine cognac, but calls for the Aftermath Beverage Company brands to be distributed by Abecassis in the European countries in which it is now doing business.
Here the company tells you that the production, supply, and European distribution of the premium cognac is housed presently under a letter of intent. The company has not released a contract to handle these aspects of bringing the premium cognac to market. The company also tells you that, upon completion, Abecassis will distribute the Aftermath Beverage Company brands in the countries where Abecassis is doing business in Europe. That distribution agreement has not been released yet.
Following the introduction of the Aftermath Cognac, the Company’s joint venture with Interscope/Dre/Aftermath will introduce a unique new line of 80-proof flavored and unflavored sparkling vodkas. The Company, having completed any necessary formulations, bottle and label design, marketing plans, and regulatory approvals, expects that this new line of products will begin to be shipped to distributors within the next sixty days. These products are to be introduced in coordination with the launch of Dr. Dre’s long-awaited “Detox” album, and will be supported by a fully integrated marketing program with the performer and his record company.
Now here the company tells you that once the cognac is introduced, the Dre/Aftermath agreement calls for a line of flavored and unflavored sparkling vodkas to be introduced. The company also tells you that those vodkas are complete and ready to send to market.
The important items of note are that the cognac as yet HAS NOT been named. If you look, the company says "a cognac" and "a premium cognac." When they announce the name of Dre's equity company as Aftermath Beverage Company, the company then takes on a possessive nature. "Aftermath agreement" refers to the new company Aftermath's agreement. "Aftermath cognac" is a cognac housed under that agreement. To wit, the line of flavored and unflavored vodkas have not as of yet been named by the company under this same Aftermath agreement. If the cognac were called Aftermath Cognac, the press release would have stated it was being called Aftermath Cognac. If the sparkling vodkas were called Topless, it would have said Topless. Neither of these things occurred.
Yes, we do have these two names trademarked. But as I said, there appears to be something important in NOT misinterpreting the naming of the products which has not happened yet.
I am also advised to take note that; Out of three paragraphs in an earnings call a literal world wide blizzard of press in every US city and internationally has been unleashed and will continue.
This by itself is more important than the names of the products could ever be.
OK, you got to check this out.
I have seen this twice before from these guys. They come out and feature one of their pink P&D's. You've all seen them.
Then they always list like 4 or 5 other stocks to keep an eye on because of news or big upside moves or both.
Here's the key. They put the wrong closing price. I've seen it twice before on DKAM and several others.
The next day the price always closes there! Maybe some kind of signal.
Of course, it is up and I would prefer it just go ahead and break .40 now as the charts are screaming a double from here.
Let's hope this time they are wrong.
The one thing I have seen them do over and over is they cite XYZ as having broken out to a new 52 week high. You look at the stock and the next day it goes and gets those new highs where it wan't even close the day before.
I think these guys send signals on these reports to each other.

Well, I asked Kenny if Dre changed things up and we missed something. He said he is simply swamped beyond belief and cannot respond to every errant press release out there.
That tells me The Liquor Group messed something up. I believe we are still Aftermath on the cognac.
"Dr. Dre Chronic Tonic" get u Crunk.
I like where this is going!
Just as smooth as the elixir itself!
Awesome find Putt! We know Dre is the ultimate perfectionist. He could have seen all the press last week and decided it made more sense to go with the name that got him such acclaim in the 90's.
Now this way ALL those media guys have to re release more news! The name of the vodka AND the name change of the cognac.
Still checking to make sure this is what we go to market with.
Since PR out over the weekend, nobody has picked up on it but us.
Brilliant PR! By design. Introduce the name of the vodka. Now we do our job. Send it to all those links I posted over the weekend announcing the name of the vodkas. Now these guys ALL learn about the company at the same time.
Those who go to the website, learn there is a stock, and off we go.
