No, that is code for "we are not in charge anymore". Daytraders take them off please so it can go much higher without you. Your shares wil gladly get bought now.

Our day.

Raw, I don't believe it's in Vegas yet. Could be wrong. I know KJ handles 11 states, that being one of them. But that is a PR all in itself you know?? That is a "Top 5". Just like it's not in the State of NY yet, only in NYC. You know you got to have a Ttini to wash down them waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaangs!!!!!!!!!

Show starts January 7. Sunday

The "Trump girls" had a blast on NYE 2007. Trump Vodka mentioned once again!

No! No all eggs in one basket. But I would sell dead money CNXT and have your cash available. That way if there is a dip on the stock you can gradually accumulate more. If something else pops up, NOT AN OTC, you have cash to trade. If you plan on holding DKAM through the year and the buyout does not happen before the end of the year, and you have traded any shares for profit during the year, you will need that cash to pay taxes. I don't want a soul selling any DKAM, or losing their shares to cover taxes on their trading. We'll deal with that later at much higher prices!

Hilary Duff party was a huge sell out.

Have we seen this before? If so, I must have been asleep that day. or just recovering! LOL

http://www.chic.tv/?v=76

No DKAM in the Yahoo 24-min video. Not to say it won't be included. At this point, we may not be a feature but should appear at some point. Catching wind now that several bill boards were obtained to coordinate with the California roll out and taping of the show. The bottle. The phrase, "Success Distilled."
Says it all.

Don't get me wrong on the trading. But coming from a highly reliable source, the "group" wanted 3 million and they got 3 million. At any time, it will do like it did today and keep doing it. Start higher and go higher. The $2.75 run was staged to set it up and now they got what they wanted. The plan is to eliminate as many daytraders as possible to gather a couple million more. They know 99% of OTC players are "flippers" and don't know a real winner when they have one. Somebody said it best that you know you have a winner when you pray for it to back up so you can buy more or get back in. The whole time somebody is making sure they get all the shares before you do. I guaranttee you also 99% of you will be carrying alot less shares over $10 than if you had just left it alone. There are too many people with too much money on top of this one to settle for anything less.

Anyone new here needs to read this. Out over the weekend and spells it out for you completely. It is VERY solid and across the board correct based on the company doing exactly what it says and based on the product releases to date. iI will also add that there are current offers on the table for this company.

You better have them by now. Float is literally gone. Only a fool would consider daytrading it as the position has been made and they are ready to move it large to the upside.

Yeah, it should have relative PR's and research DD posts from some of us.

Mike, can you do us one favor? Can you get the great due diligence posts and get them up above so newbies can learn without having to search and without us answering the same questions over and over? Please?

DKAM is their baby now. I see you've already been told. It's all being set up.

LMAO. Looking for faster return. That is what they said on FRPT. Stock was the largest percentage gainer for 2006. I love it. The payoff will come at $30.

They still keep scalping with absolutely no clue what they are doing. They should be fixed in a big way when it gaps and never looks back. Force them back in at much higher prices. Hedges are about to take control of this one.

The never ending Trumptini! The more Vodka you drink, the more they sell. The more they sell, the more the price of the stock goes higher! The higher the stock price goes, the more Trump you drink! It will never end!!!

We are all drinking for free! Have one on me!!!

LMAO

Jan 03, 2007 WILTON, CT MARKET WIRE Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd. (OTCBB: DKAM) ("Drinks Americas" or the "Company") announced today that Trump Super Premium Vodka has arrived in Chicago and is being distributed by Union Beverage throughout Illinois to restaurants, bars, hotels, lounges and accounts that sell premium spirits. Trump Super Premium Vodka was due to kick off in Chicago at the end of the month. Due to consumer inquiries and retail demand, the brand went to market as soon as product reached the warehouse. Trump Super Premium Vodka is rolling out nationally and expected to be available across the country over the next two months. Derek Holmes, Vice President General Sales Manager of Union Beverage, described how Union management was impressed by the number of phone calls from consumers and retailers that Union had received in advance of the launch of Trump Super Premium Vodka. Holmes stated, "Union Beverage believes that Trump Vodka, branded with one of the most recognizable names in the world, will be one of the most successful new product spirit launches in 2007." Patrick Kenny, CEO of Drinks Americas, stated, "Illinois is one of the top five states for vodka consumption and a huge opportunity for Trump Super Premium Vodka. We moved the introduction date up based on retailer and consumer demand. We fully expect the brand's momentum to continue in the Chicago market and know that Union will do a great job distributing the brand."

My kinda town! Go Bears and drink a bunch this month!

Remember one important thing. The Florida and California roll outs were not in the October sales at all. They happened after October 31. Both were heavy initial sales procurements and heavy holiday sales states.

Current run rate for Trump Vodka is 77848 cases. Company should have finished the year at or just above 70000 cases, or just over 52000 cases for the quarter. That makes revenues for the quarter to date over $5.5 million just in Trump Vodka. The quarter will end January 31 and be reported the third week of March. Looking for a sales update this week or next in a PR.

This board has been read 66000 times today. And DKAM is the stock going up 1500%+ in 2007. You watch it take off tomorrow. So much REAL press on DKAM and the numbers don't lie. More than enough opportunity sits right in front of you on DKAM. Don't blow it. It has already tripled and given you more than a week to get in really cheap before the company gets bought out. Shame what happened here but you control your future, not SLJB. Make the right choice. Or at least hedge your bets with a big winner in your portfolio.

Technically speaking. It should take off out the gate even without all we know. When it was $1.35, the RSI showed it had gone to severe overbought over the 90 line. Now, we are at 64 and the stock is 37% higher and the RSI is no where close to being overbought. Now you won't see it again until it crosses $3.00. The 5 and 10 have caught up. price holding. Sellers gone and fresh buy interest finds minimal resistance.

Actually, I would have hoped most people would have done the obvious. New Year's Eve parties nationwide over the weekend. Football games. So much time to spend with family and friends on the phone or in person. The stock market has got everybody's attention as it attempts to repeat the run of 1999 in 2007. Every one of you should have been telling everyone you know that this is the best candidate to go a lot higher in 2007. Every one is looking for the next big winner right now. I personally told over 200 people about the stock. I won't tell you how many they came out and said they would buy or when. My dirty little secret! Two parties I went to, the Vodka was gone before 11PM.

I don't know what more we have to say here. Soon there will be over 1000 people on this board and we'll all be laughing that we even questioned where this one was going.

Today's Phrase of the Day! "The driving force in current sales has been re-orders that have exceeded our expectations."

States as of 12/22: At the time that PR was written, Trump was ONLY in MA,CT,NH,MN,RI,VT,MD,NJ,FL,GA,CA,PA,Chicago,NewYorkCity. Since then, there have been a couple more added but highly doubtful they even have 20 states yet.

Trade2? We do know that many of the current distributors swamped the re orders as most sold out more than a month ahead of schedule. That came from talking to the company. By taking the reorders, and some have already ordered again, they took product earmarked for those states that had no product at all. That forced those that wanted product to order it online. This accounts for why the National Roll Out slated initially to be completed by the end of the year was pushed back to February.

This is important on case sales. As I posted a few days back, and most newbies missed, the 150,000 case estimate the CEO made was back in September. He DID NOT revise it in the 10Q filed two weeks ago. He is lowballing estimates to make the price that much richer on the back end.

The total case sales for 3 weeks in October was 17,965. That equals 5988 cases per week since it only was available from October 10 to October 31. At that pace, that comes out to 311,393 cases for 12 months; more than double the CEO's estimates.

There isn't a CEO in the world that would cut current growth by 50% on a brand new product, especially one as hot as this one is, that has only been selling for three weeks in four states and a couple other cities. That is how you know he low balled the numbers.

Remember, keep the price down and let them be acquired on the open market. Insiders control the price from there once the float dries up.

I sent request to Trump's producers of "Trumped" his radio show to consider an investing segment on his own Trump Vodka. I received a response back thanking me for my submission and that my suggestion will be under consideration.

Ok I understand Mike. I do find it rather ironic that HANS, DKAM, JSDA, LBIX, BUD, STZ all came from sub $1 prices to put on their cataclysmic runs to the upside. Both JSDA and HANS were 25 cents. HANS went to $400 taking out the splits. DKAM was 35 cents.

Too much coincidence not to be reality!

Mike, even I have to disagree with the JSDA comparison. Yes, the stock price going sideways for a sustained length of time and then having a meteoric rise to the upside. That part I agree with. JSDA has been going up for some time. DKAM just started. But on a technical basis, JSDA is only experiencing 14% quarterly growth. DKAM is well over 300%. JSDA has less than half the shares. Of those shares, insiders only own a fraction; like less than 2 million of 25 million. DKAM insiders own over 50% of the shares, and the float of DKAM is only 27% of the OS shares. JSDA is well over 90% of the float out in the marketplace.

Still, HANS sets the precedence. Grey Goose buyout. Absolut buyout. LBIX big rise in 2006. JSDA big rise in 2006. Consolidation everywhere.

DKAM goes the way of its peers and goes so much higher.

That was an estimate back in October before they even delivered 1 case. The CEO craftily left that estimate alone in the past 10Q even though we know sales could easily reach well over 300,000 cases in the first year.

6 bottles to a case. Company gets $106 or so per case.

300000 cases is $31,800,000 in revenues. 2 million cases to match Grey Goose is $212 million.

Company gets bought out for 10 times those forward sales. That is $2.2 billion.

That is around $35 per share.

It is just that simple.

Don't people read? I am appalled at the number of people that invest in a stock and then ask if they are going to be screwed like they were on two dozen other stocks. There is a host of great information that has been posted on this board. Most of that information revolves around the following: soaring sales, revived business units, enough cash to support the company indefinitely, the precedence for a buyout, the superior quality of the product, its immediate comparisons to the giants of the distilled spirits industry, the price the stock should command just from the name Trump.

All this is right there. Then somebody shows up and asks what are the chances of a reverse split? You are joking right? Since when did 60+ million shares become too few shares? And no, the company doesn't need to reverse split to get the price over $5.00 to attract institutional interest. This is one of those rare times you really do not want institutional interest. If this company is going to be acquired. Many of those shares will be acquired on the open market by the "acquirer" or a representative of the acquirer.

Yes, Mike is correct. The company is presently toying with a number of possibilities. Do they take any present offers. Do they allow the product to continue to bring in higher bids thus creating a bidding war. Do they create a shell and reverse merge into another company. Do they wait so they can command an even higher premium in buyout price. Will they get Nasdaq listing once the price is over $5.00. So much is out there to be talked about.

Hopefully you'll notice those things that are not being considered. Reverse splits, insider selling, pump and dumps, slowing sales, and anything less than a product equalling if not surpassing Grey Goose.

Man, I hate holidays! Markets are closed and school is still in session!

3 Saints? Now you see why I'm so confident as are the insiders of DKAM that their company will be bought out. By this time next year, or should I say within a year from now, Trump Vodka should be in the Top 5 Vodka Sales in the world and in the Top 2 Super Premium Vodka Sales.

What more does one need to say? Grey Goose over 2 years ago at $2.3 billion. Absolut slated to fetch $4 billion. Yes, the price is going up and people are having no trouble paying it. Billy's little place? He said they are gladly forking over $7.75 a pop. The Marakkesh in NYC is getting $9.50 a pop.

As my other post said. Trump at a measly $1 billion makes it over $14.70 a share (using 68 mil shares OS now).

I can tell you with certainty. When that bidding war starts for Absolut, the price of DKAM will double in a heartbeat. Once these potential suitors make the run, they will not want to come away empty handed.

Some obvious accumulation is going on. The volume for this stock during the summer and fall was a scant 74000 shares per day. A little more than a month ago, it rose to an average of 141000 per day; almost double. Now, for the past 12 sessions, it has risen to 491000 and for the past 30 days, it is a shade over 500000. It is obvious that a lot of people are buying and there are still a few convinced it isn't going higher. The stock is in a confirmation basing pattern right now that should see a dramatic spike at any time. Simply put, you had perhaps a million shares that sat on the stock during the summer and now that they got a triple, they haven taken their profits. Why I do not know. These are people that waited and waited. They were rewarded. Now the stock stopped running. So they sell. At the same time, there are many, many people that want it knowing the potential and they are buying their shares from them. Once it starts to go again, many people will chase it fearful they will miss another huge run. People will be more inclined to hold longer this time as a triple for them puts it in the $5-$7 range. That action alone brings even more buyers to the stock and usually the action the hedge guys want to make their action extremely profitable. Six million shares in the past 12 sessions tells me somebody has loaded in a big way and is probably still buying.

Going back to your price spike to $2.75. On that day, it only took 310000 shares to get it from $1.56 to $2.75. There was a decided lack of liquidity to the upside. Of course, if people had half a brain, the stock would be $10 right now. But, you know how it goes. Give them the chance to make a little profit and they will take it because they have no concept of making big profit.

I checked and double checked. There were a couple of newsletter alerts out on it that day. Some say Shakerz put a buy on it so all the shares he bought at $1.15 the two days prior were sold quickly over $2 for a double while everyone was still buying. There is a good chance though that a hedge was still short the stock and never covered.

Let me also say here and now, nobody takes a market order on an OTC stock. It is impossible. Limit orders only for OTC stocks. No orders outside of normal market hours except by market makers only. Cramer needs to clean up his act also. He always touts these stocks after hours and screams at everyone not to use market orders. Limit orders only. You cannot use a market order in extended hours on any exchange. C'mon Cramer!

DKAM on The Donald's radio show. We need to get him to promote the product and especially DKAM. He is constantly giving advice and teaching people how to make money.

Trump Vodka gets top billing. Scroll to the bottom and read about Trump. Only bad thing is a newcomer is likely to think Trump Vodka is being marketed by TRMP as a branded offering.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Tower_(New_York)

Here again is the list of the companies slated to be on this season of The Apprentice. One glaring marketer of their products is Ralphs:

DECEMBER 11, 2006 -

NBC will kick off another season of The Apprentice in January with some observers wondering if the Donald Trump vehicle has lost its shine. Viewership has dropped from 18.5 million viewers in May 2004 to 12.8 million in December 2005. Even more distressingly, the show last season lost 41 percent of its 18-to-49-year-old audience versus the previous year, according to MediaVest, New York.

Fortunately for NBC this hasn’t been of great concern to the show’s sponsors, and it remains a favorite product-placement vehicle among marketers. This year, not only will Dial be a first-time sponsor, but it will be the first company to sponsor two episodes of The Apprentice in a single season. This season’s sponsors will also include AdSpace Networks, Adwalker, AMC Entertainment, El Pollo Loco, GNC, The Home Depot, KB Home, Lexus, Priceline.com, Ralphs (a division of supermarket giant Kroger), Sue Bee Honey, Trina Turk and SmartMouth mouthwash.

“We never even thought about the ratings dip,” said Brian Shook, svp and general manager at Dial, Scottsdale, Az. “We were attracted by the results the show delivers.” Shook said the company didn’t intend to buy two episodes until the marketing teams for its new Soft Scrub Deep Clean Foaming Cleanser and Renuzit’s Super Odor Neutralizer each made compelling cases for using the show. “The way we looked at it was what would we have to generate in terms of sales for this to make sense,” said Shook. He said the math worked even at last season’s ratings. “The show was so successful early on that it set the ratings bar pretty high.”

Some analysts feel the show will rebound in the ratings. “The Apprentice seems to adapt very well,” said Brad Adgate, svp-research at Horizon Media, New York. “They were right to rest the show. There were two versions on last fall and none this fall.” Both the show’s producer, Mark Burnett, and Trump, agree the show took a hit in 2004 when it added The Apprentice: Martha Stewart. “Martha was a disaster,” said Trump. Burnett said the drop in viewers is just a reflection of the overall decline for all network shows. “It’s ratings at the end of last season still put it in the top 10 shows on TV,” said Burnett.

For its final episode in December 2005, the show drew a solid 12.8 million viewers with a 5.7 rating/15 share in adults 18-49, per Nielsen Media Research.

“We are surely one of the smaller companies ever to be on the show,” said Susanne Cohen, the CEO and dentist at SmartMouth, St. Louis, which has a staff of 15. “They came to us,” she said, “This was not in our plans.” Trump said SmartMouth was a last minute replacement because NBC vetoed the online poker company that had been scheduled.

Cohen said her company, like all others, paid for its placement. Also, like the others, she declined to say how much. However it happened, she’s glad to be there and agrees with Shook about the experience. “We found these guys to be great partners,” Shook said. “We’re very excited about the upcoming season.”

How do these candidates effectively market a supermarket chain?One could only hope it is through their brand new Trump Vodka offering. Or perhaps, The Donald or the candidates will draw reference to it when they are in the stores.

Ralphs Grocery Company was founded in 1873 in downtown Los Angeles by George Albert Ralphs. In the twentieth century it became a grocery pioneer, offering self-service markets with checkout stands in distributed locations. In the 1980s it created a chain of hybrid supermarket/warehouse stores called The Giant (unrelated to Northeastern chain Giant Food) which failed, but the concept returned with the company's merger with the Food 4 Less discount chain. During the mid-1990's, Ralphs expanded as it merged with many Southern California supermakets including The Boys, Alpha-Beta, Viva, and ABC Markets. Ralphs Grocery Company merged with Fred Meyer, Inc in 1997. In 1999 Fred Meyer, Inc, parent company of Ralphs, merged with The Kroger Co. The company slogan is First in California.

In 1999, Ralphs purchased about 30 Albertsons and Lucky Stores, mostly in northern California. The stores were divested as a result of the Albertsons and American Stores merger. Ralphs operated the stores until an announcement in January 2006, when they announced that all but one Ralphs in northern California would close. In August 2006, the one remaining Ralphs in northern California was given a 60 day notice of closure. Also in August 2006, Ralphs finalized plans to sell 11 (of 13 remaining) Cala-Bell Stores to Harley DeLano, who previously ran the chain. Ralphs expansion into northern California did not work out.

That is probably the toughest question to answer. First, most people never hold a stock until it hits what they expect it to hit. Second, obviously $2.75 as it then retreated to $1.68. This stock is following the pattern of so many before it. It put on a major run and now it is in a major accumulation mode before the next run higher. Large money players usually want to see that a stock can move easily in the market before they take a large stake and control the action from there. They will control a large majority of the action on both sides of the liquidity line up and try to get the average person to move on to go play something else. All the while they are accumulating a few million shares. Then they will take it higher with such ease it will make you question how it took so long to get going and why it wasn't doing anything for days and days. As I said in an earlier post, a lot of people will try to get people to sell because they think it is like 500 other OTC stocks they've played. Given this market and the way this company is playing it out, growth will really be rewarded. Top line growth especially. As long as revenues are surging, it won't matter what the profit is. Yep, you heard me correctly. There are no less than 35 companies watching this quarter and the next three quarters as they implement a full Nationwide roll out and then implement an International roll out. Some of those watching are in the business. Some have successful spirits offerings already. Others are eyeing their entry into the Super Premium Celebrity category. That alone makes Trump a $billion dollar baby as this category of Vodka is slated to be above $10billion within 10 years. Any potential suitor will immediately think they can do it better and will have the company backing to effectively market the product and get it in front of every consumer possible. Grey Goose gets sold for $2.3 billion. The Trump name in this business is worth at least $1 billion, or anywhere from 5-12 times sales. The longer they wait, the more the price will go up for a buyout. It's just that simple. You have to remember that companies get bought out not only for their potential, but rather for the amount of money they are costing other companies in lost revenues and market share. Grey Goose is currently doing 2.2 million cases per year. All these factors alone suggest that other Premium and Super Premium drinkers are quickly converting, and brand new SP drinkers are coming on board because of the Trump name. You are witnessing first hand one of the primary factors of this sector of the spirits industry growing at 1000% over the next 10 years. At a $billion, this factors the company out to around $16 a share. If they get into a bidding war like so many others before, somebody may realize in today's dollars that Trump Vodka is worth more than Grey Goose. Once DKAM starts earning profits here shortly, they will undoubtedly start buying stock back down the road. That greatly enhances their PPS on a valuation basis. That is where you could easily see DKAM at $34 a share to match Grey Goose. Don't ever forget though, this company has many other products that a potential suitor would be buying also and could effectively market in a much bigger way. Stock gets bought back and the price goes even higher. The question becomes a matter of time. HANS as the first and leader in its sector took roughly 10 years to realize its full potential. Grey Goose as the first and leader in its sector took nearly 6 years. Since The Donald is as strong as he is, I would expect it to take 3 years for all DKAM products and roll outs in this category to be realized. We still have the flavored Trump offerings to come. There is no way to tell how far it will go or where people will sell. What I hope you do realize is that the company is worth a lot more than $125 mil at its current valuation. Once everybody else realizes that also the stock will begin to run very easily. The only thing you'll have to decide is whether to hold with the insiders for a buyout, or whether you cannot stand having all that money and not spending it right now.

Our New Year's Weekend numbers should be solid. I asked an industry professional in this sector to give me some idea of what to expect from this weekend on Trump sales based on various new releases in the past that came up on this important holiday. He came back to me with what I would consider good numbers and keeps us right on track for beating the CEO's conservative estimates. He said you should see a total number of Trump drinks, or shots consumed roughly around 2 million. However, you could expect around 70% of the bottles purchased would not be completely consumed. On a drink basis, that would factor out to 100000 bottles, or 16667 cases. On a per state basis, that would be 757 cases per state, or 4545 bottles per state assuming the product is now fully in 22 states. He said it would be difficult to get exact on the exact number of bottles as he has no numbers of individual drink sales to compare to package store bottle sales. But the median number he gave me from 15000-20000 total case sales was 16667. He also added that being new and with the Trump name, there was another variable in those bottles that were purchased for Christmas gifts that would show up at new Year's Eve parties. I personally think they did 20000 cases+ for this week of Christmas to New Year's given the buzz around the product. He agreed that was very likely. After all, there are 3000 distributors in the NYC Metropolitan area alone.

Thing is, the 50 cent+ OTC stocks tend to be the most viable and have the best track record of sustained growth and share price increases. Evidenced in FRPT from 60 cents to $18 and CKXE from 50 cents to $28.
