It's all just someone's opinion, but might be what the "buzz" is about.
Can anyone else confirm or disprove what's being said here? Thanks.
Thanks, I'll check it out. But I'm surprised my post got deleted. Is expressing my opinion about how to improve a reader's enjoyment of this board off topic?
TIA
Good to have you back!
Thanks!
What's Nate's current trading symbol? I tried NATE and got NTXSF on Canada Stock watch.
Tks
Another thing that I like about this is that it's raising public awareness about the sparkling flavored water which would eventually spark interest and curiosity for other products i.e. VF. Right?
Now THOSE were VERY IMPRESSIVE!! Folks, we are in good hands. Go MINE
Today was a nice close. I filled earlier in the week at .012 and I felt very lucky about it. I needed to fill that low to round out my stake to an even number! Here's to a fun weekend and a great week next week. I'm looking forward to a steady climb in share price, but I tell you what, I sure wish we were a little more liquid. It will be nice when we're trading 5 - 10 million shares/day on a routine basis!
THANKS!!
Do you still have a link to the address? TIA, and good DD.
Now THAT was funny!
You have a great weekend too.
I initiated a transfer into my account day before yesterday. I'll be able to spend it on Tuesday. I'm planning on picking up some more here. If the price stays the same as it is now, it will be my first purchase below .02 (my ave is .022).
So for the moment, I'm kinda hoping the price dips a little more. That is, after all, the name of the game, right?
I want this one to take off just as much as anyone else, even Dr. Merlot. (Merlot happens to be the flavor of wine we like most in my house, so the Doc has good taste it at least something!) And if it happens to go up before I'm ready to pick some up, well, I'd kind of like that to happen too. So for today, I'm in a pretty rare and good position, I'm happy if it goes down, and happy if it goes up. I guess it's a little crazy how the world works sometimes!
You have a great weekend too! VTXB
Yea, I'm looking at the daily too. Between 7/3 and 7/9 we went through a correction. And the last 6 trading sessions, including today, show a steep wedge, triangle, whateveryyouwanttocallit forming, with today's action looking like a break down (but holding with support at .014). We have support at a penny, as shown by trading activity on 7/11 and 6/4.
My predict is we aren't going to see buying pressure until the filing, how much pressure we'll see I don't know. But until we do we're certain to see a slow drift down--that's just the nature of the beast. Of course this gets trumped if in the mean time we get picked up by some third party penny stock-picker site.
Tom stated in a PR that 60 days after the filing the company will enjoy "fully reporting status". Is that when the icon will disappear on the OTC site, or will it be sooner--the next day maybe?
Are you saying you've sold your position? And you're blaming the company for your decision?
I agree with everything in your post, so much so I gave you member mark #2. I got in this one at .16 on 3/14 of this year. I should have gotten out the next trading day, but you know what they say about hind sight. But now that I'm in, and now that the sp has done what it has, I'm in for the long haul.
It's proven the company has a great tasting brand, now if they could only get the right people to notice. I'm with you on having an established dist. Co. picking them up.
The office of the parent company, Vortex Tennis had its office at the beach front townhouse. The office of the new, public Vortex Brands is in an upscale, 3 story glass office building. Ste #300 28202 Cabot Rd LAGUNA NIGUEL, CA 92677-1249
Being that the owner of Vortex Tennis and CEO of Vortex Brands are the same person, my guess is Mr. Olmstead will be moving offices of both companies into the same building.
Sure it may not have been very impressive to have one's company office in one's home at first, but it sure helped to keep overhead down during the company's inception and early growth. And I'm sure the commute was pretty easy, especially living in LA. And cozy too, at a value of 1.3 mil, his home certainly does say something about his success.
I couldn't agree more, and don't forget his superb credit rating! If "debt financing" means he was able to walk into a finance company and cut a half million dollar deal without collateral, then it's pretty safe to assume that Vortex Tennis has quite a lengthy record of success.
And with that, I bid you good evening Sir. I'm going to catch up on my recordings of "24". I heard the finally was last Monday.
Hey thanks. Much appreciated. It's a bit difficult to maintain memory of everything I've read. And I'm sure that in the years near to come it will just get worse. But for now, if I could just remember where I put my keys....
So Vortex Brands has the US exclusive? Like a franchise? That would make sense, and would keep things much simpler for both companies. They would not have to have sales departments for both companies. This would mean all current US sales done through VB, which will really create some incredible value for their company and share price. Nice. I have a little more powder coming into my account on Tuesday, I was trying to figure out where to put it; here or on MIN(e). I have about 3x as many of those as I have these, and even though "those" are going through a crash at the moment and are really cheep, I think I'll be putting it over here due to the share structure.
Someone else mentioned about sales out of the country, do you know what companies are handling those?
TIA
One question I'd like to ask is: "Will the new company, Vortex Brands, be taking over all US sales? Or, with Vortex Tennis maintain existing sales and Vortex Brands simply focus on new US sales from hear on out?
My think as a shareholder is that it would be best for the share price to show as much sales as possible, thus have "Vortex Brands" handle ALL of the US sales and "Vortex Tennis" simply wholesale to "Vortex Brands."
If the majority of sales is mail order, then let the new company have it. But there might be some existing accounts with pro shops around CA that are already established with VT. Would those accounts in CA get turned over to VB?
Am I being redundant? LOL
Thoughts anyone?
My guess is "boards that push hard for slapping the ask to make the pps rise" probably have their own board members placing chunks of shares for sale on the ask.
You won't get any argument from any of us, and there's plenty of DD for you to be able to make you're own decisions.
Reverse merger, great share structure, no dilution, established company with a patented product and established sales, will be fully reporting any day now, sales expansion plans... And they're transparent for starters.
I think everyone will find this interesting...
I've tabulated data from 31 contributors here, Between them a little over 16 million shares are held, or 33% of the float. But here's what's interesting: Only 29% (9) of those 31 have VTXB listed in their own "My Stocks." If this percentage holds true for the remaining 38 listed as holders, then this means there are really about 162 here on Ihub holding VTXB.
But, with the reporting 31, the average holding is (16,071,850 / 31) = 518,446 per holder. But multiply this by 162 and we get 84 million shares in the float which is way high. So what’s wrong?
It took me about a second to realize that on “my stocks” for VTXB, less than half of the so called holders display a custom photo, the rest are simply the Ihub default pic. Taking into consideration that last week we found out that someone with 74 accounts was padding the “most read” list, that probably the same person had some of his accounts padding the “my stocks” list as well. I think this is the case because practically every poster on this board for the last few weeks (except for achron) has had a custom photo. Taking this into consideration, and assuming the 29% holds true for the “actual” 21 accounts, then there could be about 72 actual Ihub holders, and @ the ave. per holder I calculated we can project a total Ihub holding of 37.5 million! This means it would take only 6 of the 26 accounts on VTXB “my stocks” that I didn’t use to be actual accounts for us to hold the entire float.
But whether true or not, the conclusion I'd like to offer is guys, we own the float. We own it, we know what we own and we are simply waiting. There's no question about what we think will happen. I think the miniscule selling we're seeing is mainly holders who have been around for a few years, fell out of the game, are looking into their portfolio after an absence and are apathetically "cleaning out the attic". Some folks might not even know that there has been a symbol change and might be saying to themselves, where in the heck did THESE come from? I offer this because this is how L2 and the trading activity is behaving. There just aren't any shares out there. And large spreads seem to always occur when liquidity fades away, right? I'm sure you've all seen this before.
Mr. Olmstead has already stated that regarding the first filing, "There will be nothing on it." Even though this may be true, I think the larger milestone is that the company becomes reporting. But I think that the sentiments will be split between those who are glad the report got filed (the happy traders) and those who think the data in the report sucks (the sad traders) at which point about a third of the float will again change hands. So to all you happy traders out there, get your powder ready.
I would very much enjoy hearing anyone's thoughts. VTXB
Excellent. And keep in mind I didn't just pull that number out of thin air. Several factors applied to that, one being a poster here mentioned he called the company who said they get "hundreds" of orders per week. Second, there's a web page that another poster posted a link to, the page was a company profile done by a third party which said their revs were 1-5 mil per year. The third factor is that the office address of "Vortex Tennis" was a private residence worth around 1.3 mil. And the income for that came from a private company.
Got'm. I'll put you down for 140k. VTXB
I understand your point of view, and I've gathered enough data to quench my own curiosity.
As far as the tendency of "others" to lie, here it was only one masking as many.
I agree with points 2 and especially 3. Share tally? Sure, maybe the veterans think that's just for kids, and you are not alone with your point of view. But either way you slice it, whether you disclose your position or not, I'm much more glad that your here.
I'm really anxious on sales rev. I'm estimating that by the second or third filing we'll be about $250k- $300k per month. If we get that number then I think we'll be looking pretty good over all. After that, I'm looking forward to their promotion plans, and I don't mean promotion to investors, but rather promotion and expansion for their product line. Anyone can promote a stock, give me a good PR man and I'll sell refrigerators to Eskimos. But grow a company? now that takes some real talent and hard work.
GLTU,
And for whatever it's worth, we're up to 13.2mil with 27.3% of the float. Go VTXB
Got'm, Thanks. VTXB
please update my email. russskarsten@gmail.com
Got'm Thanks.
That's a fair question. There are other yardsticks besides stock price. Yes, sales are low, and perhaps almost invisible. But given the fact that he created this brand about a year or two ago, and has obtained some recognition in a very competitive market, and now a chance at distribution in LA, then I'd say he's doing everything right. Now perhaps I'll be eating my words if he messes up the share structure, but for now, that seems to be looking good too.
Stock price obviously went up a few years ago on potential and declined obviously on lack of share holder patience. It's obvious he has a 'hit' with RWB. Now he has to make the world aware of it and at the same time stay afloat with as little overhead as possible. This doesn't happen overnight.
If he can close a national distributor to help sell and promote his product then we'll be off to the races. That's my opinion on this one. If you're looking for a quick gain then I'd suggest you just put this one on your radar and wait for news.
Back to no bid.

Short it!
Got yours too! VTXB
Got'm. Thanks. VXTB
np. Thanks for your reply. This early in the game I think the odds of being accurate are pretty high. I'm also in MINE, and Stock Scout was keeping track. He had a list up to nearly 800 folks that he'd been keeping for I don't know how long. But with a 2.5 billion issued, it got down to only 60 million left in the float. But with that many folks and so much time, many had to have dumped and just not made mention. The trading characteristics seemed to remain the same for the last half billion accumulation of shares. This stock is so thin and the AS is so low, that our chances of accuracy are much higher. But if it does get crazy, I could always ask folks to send me a screen shot, blotting out their account numbers, etc. of course. But what the heck. I totally respect your privacy, your decision, and that of everyone else. Good luck, Go VXTB
