Advocet, not sure what the issue is. This is a great letter from Brad/Frost. Very professional. It looks like they blew away last quarter to get to $110M. Providing guidance to $150M for this year which will probably end up being a layup for them. Remember promise a lot and deliver even more. I would not be surprised if they end up doing $170M. New products coming out very soon. Uplift still which is blah blah blah. Profitability this year at .20-.22c per share which has them making about $3M which they will probably beat. See above about promise a lot and deliver even more.
I see this as very positive. We will see how the market reacts to this over the next week or two. It might pull back today but who knows. This is all good.
DS, what is on page 3 that we should be noticing? Thanks.
I agree with most of what you said. The Biozone manufacturing piece will make them profitable first and then expand the lines as new products come along. Getting to profits will make the pps explode.
Thanks for the quick search on this. I just looked at the CytoSports web site and it is very clear as to the direction of MP. These guys are clearly their main competitor and are modeling after them, right up to the FitMiss product line. If they are doing $200M with there current product lineup then the sky's the limit for MP. We are just getting started with our distribution and we have much bigger names involved. If $500M is the starting point for Cyto then we can go much larger. We can be at $150M at the end of 2014. Lets say we get to a run rate in Q4 $50M, that could put us into the $250M-$300M for 2015. $300 x 2.5= $750M buyout. Where does that put the pps?? I would say $60-$80.
I can dream.
Anyone know how much cytosports does in rev last year? Probably tough to get that info being private.
BTW, I wasn't insinuating that you had any hidden msgs. I just did not understand what you were saying. Now I do. Thanks.
How about the big 33K share print at 9.05 at the close.
LC, just wondering what this msg actually meant. Significance of 10.50 and the pass the shares and lets go comment. I guess that means hand out the options already at the cheap prices, but why 10.50?
thanks
Also, not to throw water on the party over the last couple of days, but have we all forgotten about cory's filing. Has he been the one selling of late? Still no release about that either.
So here were are waiting for guidance that will take us up to the next level. Since I am such a horrible trader, I beleive that the way to go with this one is to just hold 75% of the shares I have for the buyout in 1-3 years. If they can get the rev up to 200M in 2 years that would be a $500M buyout. Today we are at approx $100M market cap and a $9 pps. $500M buyout would put us at a $45pps. We also need profits to go along with the $200M but this is clearly in sight. The question is, who will be buying?? Anything over $200M in rev with good bottom line margins and the price gets over 50 quickly. Buyout could be much larger with whatever the plan is for BZNE, MSLP, etc.
So in this prearranged trade, the questions I have is who is selling at 9.10 and for what reason if this is going to have a major pop. MM's collecting shares for this buyer and everytime he gets one at the price the buyer has an open order I guess.
Any thoughts as to how this works? I'm just guessing.
It certainly could be with this stock. But I hold promise that since both Frost and Arnold are 5% guys and they have not sold yet, we are in for a huge uptick. These guys don't play for a few point to make there few million. They want 10's of mil.
Do you feel like this is truly dumping? Their is no pump so it cannot be a P & D. I would like to think it is just the swing traders getting out with the profit that they want and this is going into stronger hands. Like MSLP buy backs. When the guidance hits, we go up rapidly and stay there if it is great like we are expecting. If there is a hint of shady behavior, we go up then come back down.
Wow, finally getting some action. If only there was some real volume. Not sure who will be doing all the buying in the upcoming days, weeks, months to get this up to $20 but there is a nice pattern starting leading up to the guidance which could pop it a few dollars. With only 11M shares outstanding this will run fast if we get the uplift, great guidance, buybacks, etc.
It also seems that the bid is now supporting this with a bit of volume but nothing spectacular.
Anyone here have an exit plan that they want to share?? Does anyone on this board have their trading shares and their hold for buyout shares or is everything up for trading? Just wondering.
Anyone care to take a shot at this potential. Lets say we did do $500K in the last quarter of real rev. Lets also say that we are just getting going and some of this marketing catches. Not out of control sale of products but lets say they can do $500K for Q1 , $1.0M for Q2, $2.5M Q3, and $3M for Q4. Total for the year of $7M. Where is our stock price if this happens???
How about this one.

You can't make this stuff up.
If the pps hits $12 you add as long as they say what they will do, and do what they said. If they give their guidance in Jan as expected and there is a runup to 12 you hold. Look to see over the next couple of days, weeks, months to hold them accountable for their actions. If you see that they are becoming credible, you add. If not, take your profits on half and monitor. I suspect that a run to $12 will happen before CYQ1 is over, maybe sooner. If they continue to hit the guidance then $15 might be in play by end of Q1. If we continue to ramp and get listed on Nasdaq we can go to $20 pretty quick. That would be an indication that all the BS is over. If we hit $154M in rev or greater like sandoti predicts and can get some profits out of it, watch out for $30 by end of year if not sooner. If we come out with new distribution that can get us to say $160M - $175M, the sky is the limit. It can all happen with some of our new partners guiding us.
Thanks. If they can get to profitability this year instead of next this will get to $30+ quickly.
Is there anyway to post the report or put a link out. I would love to see it. I missed the original report. Thanks.
I don't know. 87 catches almost 1,300 yards and 11 TD's. That does not sound too bad to me. Seems like a good guy to have on the team. He fits in perfect with Payton trowing the ball to 5 guys a game.
Anyone notice the interview on sports center with Eric Decker from the Broncos. He had on the big green MusclePharm MP on his shirt sleve.
Who is RenRen??
BTW, I think I mentioned this to JLTG a few days ago. If not just an fyi. MNKD is breaking out big time. .50c yesterday and now 1.10 today. This is huge and could be a $30-$50 stock. The ceo who is a self made billionaire predicted that their inhaled insulin drug will be the biggest selling drug of all time. Looking for FDA approval in April but something is driving this now. Maybe partnership before approval. This is the 3rd time going before the FDA for this and it looks like a slam dunk now.
Remember, the 1.2M shares is really on 600K. MSLP has the right to buy back 600K shares at $10 so with MSLP at $25 it is only 25 x 600K.
Biozone 8K is out with the merger details.
Someone help me with the math on this but here is what I think the potential is for Fuse with a lot of help from Frost/Opk, Macular and MSLP.
1. We have products on the market with major distributors as our partner. Walgreens.
2. We have major athletes on board. The best of the best.
3. We have major help from seasoned management who has turned around other struggling companies in the past. Ie. Frost with MSLP.
4. MSLP will hit 20-30 this year, then the sky is the limit.
5. What would drop do if over the next 2 years we are on a $50M runrate and then year 4 we are up to over a $100M in rev. MSLP did it.
6. So with 4M shares outstanding after the reverse split and fully diluted lets say we are now selling $25M? $50M? $75M? $100M? What is the stock price then.
This can happen and it may not take 4 years to get there. We have distribution. We have marketing. We lack $$$ to execute. My cost is at .10c for 500K shares. I believe I can get back to even by mid year or sooner and making money (lots of it) by end of the year and into the future.
Thoughts please.
JLTG, are they just trying to get it lower for the moment or something else. Looks like it wants to hang in and go higher. The trading in the stock is bizarre at best on any day.
I appreciate your insight. I have been guilty in the past of not pulling the sell trigger quick enough in the past. I have made huge amounts only to give it all back and then some of a few key positions. Got greedy. MNKD was one of those just recently. I seem to be able to pick a winner but I typically do not sell properly on a few. I go with the theory that if you have great management, great products at the right price you should do well. To me mslp has most of this but not great mgt. I am counting a lot on the Dr. Frost relationship to get them straight. Thus my large investment. I do have sells in for half my shares between $13-$15. Then make a decision on the rest as it goes. To me it could get there very quickly with the right news.
JLTG, want to pick your brain a bit.
I have a substantial holding in mslp, 8K at a cost around 9.5 I also have a new position in bzne of 30k shares at a new cost of .60 I have already taken a profit of $5K on bzne and about $30K of mslp several months ago.
I have not played a lot of penny stocks and just wonder exactly how you trade/play them. I am really not counting mslp as a penny but many still do here so I will add it in. What is your strategy for getting in and exiting. Is it after a certain profit, say 30% take 50% off and let the rest ride with a stop in place. Or is there some other magic that you use.
BTW, take a look at mnkd. It will have its day and it will be huge when it does.
So if everything you say comes true ( which I doubt ) where does that leave the contracts with the athletes? What happens to Tiger, Big Papi, Murray, etc. I would think that this would be very valuable to MSLP going forward.
So here is my prediction. You will see $10 before the end of January and you codie will stop posting out of embarrassment when it hits $12 before the end of Q1 or sooner.
MSLP names Pondel Wilkinson as Investor Relations Counsel. We go back to 10+ very fast.
Tont, how come there have been about 30 people on this board asking what you are doing here but you never answer them. How come? What is your motive for being here?
some big trades out there this morning. 776K on the bid. One trade for 550K already in the books.
Yes but if Dr. Frost is in charge of BZNE / Cocrystals and now a huge influencer of mslp he would want mslp to go up in value to help fund the new company (BZNE and CoCrys). They should be looking at selling their shares at $20 not $8. That is typical Dr. Frost. Just look at the recent opk sale of srne for a 900% profit.
Stupid question here. If a lot of us think that the news in Jan will be positive and many think we are undervalued why would there be this massive selling. Why isn't there a massive hold on the shares? Why would brad and whomever want to sell. Please help me with this thinking as it is very strange concept to me. If they are driving the shares down to pick it up at a lower level from weak hands then so be it. But selling by wynnfield or whoever they are, or brad does not make much sense to me. That is if we think this is a 14 stock in the next 6 months.
Arnold could positioned to ring the bell at the nasdaq uplifting if and when that takes place.
Arnie is a 5% guys. He will have to file when he sells.
tell me , have you ever seen merck do a buyout of a stock that is .025c or any other Fortune 500 company. That is a real long shot. We should just hope that they can get this back to .10c to get me back to even.
The only one to make an announcement that about share repurchases is the CEO. Not the CFO, not Cory, not a new hire. It is the CEO's responsibility. I would be more worried if it wasn't done this way.
