So this is the reason why trading this stock is so difficult. You never know when a great growth stock is going to surprise you with news. Dr. Frost knows where this is going and it will be big. Great news on Wednesdays earnings call will send this up 2pts at least. Now the bigger questions is do we have a temporary pull back to the $10.5 area that Dr. Frost just bought in at or is it full steam ahead. My order is already in at 11 just in case they want to take it down quickly and I hope I get filled. If not, I have plenty for the run up to 20.
It is because someone wants your shares. In reality it does not matter that much as far as the manipulation goes whether it is a $12 stock or a $500 stock. Have you ever witnessed a large cap stock get pinned at the end of a monthly expiration? How does that happen? The powers that be want it there and they will make sure it happens at all costs. A $12 stock with no float will move very fast if the bid keeps dropping. It is currently happening with a favorite of mine right now, MNKD. Watch that one in the next 1-10 days. It scares the weak. They can do this with PCLN or GOOG or NFLX. It happens all the time. If you can time your sells and trade this market more power to you. I have found that I lose when I try it. I will just wait for my payday and not worry too much. As long as they have a great product to sell, great distribution, great management (Bluher), and great marketing I will just hang in through the ups and downs. Personally, my first sells will be above 21 which I can see happening in Nov or maybe Oct. Nov for the next qtr earning Oct if they release improved numbers next week.
There are members of this board who are just plain negative. Sorry, I have only been in this stock since Dr. Frost bought in and I have made some very good money. I have continued to hold because the story keeps getting better. Never have I heard so many complain about dilution, no money, bad management, can't pay bills, unstable share price, etc. This is all bull. From when I got in the company spokesman ( for the most part ) John Bluher has been spot on. He has taken control of the company and has brought on numerous pros to help run the business.
As far as dilution goes, you complain that the stock is up and down on very few shares being traded. That is with any company that only has 10.3M shares. It will be volatile until they add more shares, and they will. How else will they pay for marketing, Arnold, print ads, commercials maybe. This should be looked at as a great thing. If they can jack revenues up to $250M over the next year because of Arnold, Costco, other large retailers and Fitmiss and all the other products you would not care if they had 30M shares outstanding. What about the new energy drink with the new caffeine product in it going up against 5 hr energy. How big can that be. Wait until the FDA starts to put pressure on all the caffeine companies. It is called growth. This company can explode to the upside and be a $50 stock by this time next year. $500M in 2 years, it can happen then we have a $100 stock. That is why John Bluher and Dr. Frost is here.
Yes I am sorry that some of the old timers lost a lot of money. That is in the past. This is a new and improved MSLP and the more you spout the negative of what took place last year or 2 years ago it will hinder the readers of this board and maybe not buy your stock at higher prices.
Who cares what the consultants did. It is in the past and they only have $1.6 M more to write off. If they do $30M next qtr with much less to write down on the consultant side that all drops to the bottom line. Add in Fit Miss rev and maybe you get to $33M. This will be 15-20 by the time next quarters results are released.
We will be good for about a $1.5 - $2.5 pop tomorrow - next week. At least. This is a huge growth story with very few outstanding shares and a solid vice chair prob put in by frost as a precursor to him throwing his $$ in. Great distribution guy as well who will do a lot for them over the next 3 years.
Janey Montgomery. Finally they have a larger wall st analyst on the line.
Why do they let brad speak. The only thing he can do is read off the script. He is not a business man. They need to stop him from speaking.
As I stated during John's last call, he is the real deal and will take this stock to $20 in the short term. Brad is the mouthpiece of the company for now and will be pushed up to a non operational position within a year.
Did anyone notice the tweets on Saturday about our Super Bowl QB filming a commercial in Denver from our leader Brad.

This is getting more exciting as we go along. I wonder where the commercial will launch. TV, web, ? TV costs big money that I don't think they have. Anyway, this is a good sign.
He only has a few hundred thousand viewers, but better than nothing. Hopefully he speaks about fuse.
Damon John will be on Cramer tonight. Just an fyi. It was just on cnbc cramer promo.
Vince, this is a company that was/is bleeding money. They do not need to be doing golf memberships. Tell me, how many contacts have they made in Colorado on the golf course that has led to business initiatives that help grow shareholder value. This luxury is reserved for companies that can prove it adds value. The old management team used the companies money for their own rewards, not shareholders. It is unthinkable that Brad would make $1.7M (est) last year while the company lost $18M on $68M in sales. Horrible. I believe that has all changed but this is what people think of them.
it is truly amazing that the put the country club memberships thru the company
Mr. Frost and 3 new investors just last week ponied up 10m . for there is any drop it will be to the 8.5 price they paid last week. That will be short lived and the stock will move higher with 2013 guidance. Skimming thru the report it seem to me our co chairman is running the show not brad. We should be good.
So pro, if great news is expected "any day" why would one of these or it looks like today all of the big investors are shorting. With 10M shares trading this smells like bad news coming like the shark tank guy backed out or the signing of a big chain fell apart. Not just your normal shorting going on. What am I missing. And if it is just your normal shorting, what turns them around without getting crushed themselves with one great news story, like a big chain signing?
Math, can someone please show me on paper how a large institutional investor would invest in a company, ie FUSE at lets say .17c then short the stock which is hard to borrow. I am a bit lost on how they do this. If they are buying shares at .17c and they want that to go up but first they short it down to say .115c. So they make .06c on that trade then run it back up. Isn't it easier to just make it go up??? They have tons of great news to go on. Why not pump it back up to the .28c level again?
Just wondering why now and when does it change back to wanting it to go up.
Thanks in advance.
Signed,
Confused as to the overall strategy.
How in the world do you believe they can grow without $$$. Yes I am fine with dilution as long as it is not excessive, is supported at a great price and has real investors in it, not flippers attached to a bunch of warrants. We now have what, 7.5M shares out. That is peanuts. With over $100M in rev and profits coming this year, this delution means nothing. The stock tomorrow will be off early then will rally back to close to $10 by the end of the day. My advise is to buy some more early in the day on the panic selling.
They also filed with nasdaq for uplisting and stated that this will help speed this along.
Just out. 706K shares at 8.50. I take this as great news. The company gets $6M.
deep, what are your thoughts on cdxc? Any interest in buying that stock. They have been around since 1999. I wonder why the growth has not been their for them. Only $9M in sales and very little cash left. $1.4M. Dr Frost is the largest holder with 16M shares.
I am just wondering why no one is really talking about the connection with Dr. Frost and ChromaDex (cdxc) wiht MSLP. They have crystalized caffeine that will allow a product that can use 1/2 the caffeine and get the same response. MSLP will be launching a new product based on this technology in a few months. Listen to the attached and move to about 5 minutes remaining in the preso. Someone posted this a few days ago. I think this could be a major reason why mslp could go sky high. We could be taking on 5 hour energy with our new "shot" type product wtih half the caffeine and all the viatmans and minerals that they said it would have. This is a game changer in my opinion. With the govt. all over energy companies like monster and red bull this is perfect timing. The connection with Dr. Frost with MSLP and CDXC is great. CDXC is only a .68c stock but Dr. Frost is the largest holder per the preso at roth.
Interesting.

I get the same thing with Schwab but in my Trade Monster account I am allowed to do it. It is broker dependent I guess.
If I read correctly this warrant deal gives the holders 17M (approx) more shares now at a price of .30c. It was a huge overhang as they have been dumping it and holding the price down. Now we see .30c as a floor and the company gets $2.6M in return. I believe it tends to clean up the books.
That was very impressive. And the best thing is that Brad took a back seat to a true professional business man. Excellent.
Anyone know who is speaking??
Ok thanks but is there a timeframe that must be adhered to with these low priced stocks / pink sheet stocks? Dec 31 , 2012 was a long time ago.
Been in the stock for about 2 months now with the Frost purchase. Just wondering what the milestones that we are waiting for in the upcoming weeks/months. I cannot find much in the way of expectations.
Are we just waiting for Q4 earnings report from last December. If so anyone know what is taking them so long to report? Anything else we should be aware of? New distribution? Manufacturing updates?
thanks in advance.

The funny thing about your statement that you wish you were in charge over the Daymond John is that he is worth hundreds of millions of $$$$ and you are posting on a message board.
Disaster
Before the warrant holders were stuck at .21c per bgrass. now they are stuck at .275. which is bgrass. how often can you be wrong besides the .80c that you bought into last year and now mad at the world.
Now i know why you say disaster all the time.
Your trading is a disaster. I have been here about 1 month and have already made about $4K in my pocket and have another $6K that I can take off at .26c. timing is everything.
The only disaster on this here is bgrass. The stock has not seen this level for about 8 months. Bgrass is a short making pennies to keep his boiler room happy. We will be at .50c before the end of March.
Don't confuse profit with revenues. They are a long ways away on the profit side. Anyone know what the company is modeling as it relates to profit. I do believe that they can grow to $150M in say 2 years but what will they drop to the bottom line on that number. Can they make .25c per share. That would be a $50M profit on $150M rev. That would be 40 PE or $10 per share. Cut the earnings in half and use 200M shares outstanding. That would still be a $5 stock price. I will take it.
Give the kid a break he is new to investing. He will figure it out but the basic math is as follows:
If:
DROP has 200,000,000 shares and the do a 20 for 1 reverse split they would then hae 10M shares. If the price was .20c when that happens it would be $4 per share post split.
If you have 10K shares when the split happens you would then have 500 shares. 10,000 / 20 = 500. Your value of the shares pre split would be 10K x .20c = $2,000. and post split would be 500 shares x $4 = $2,000. the same value. I hope this helps.
As a shareholder from only since Dr. Frost's participation and in at $6 per share (avg) on 5k shares I am excited about the future. First and foremost I have been following Dr. Frost for about 15 years. Living in SFL you get to see more of the local news of the man. He is the real deal and he is huge. If he bought his shares at $4 and I bought mine at $6 I am very cool with that. He is in this to make his shares $40. I will follow him everytime. The things that I took away from the recent shareholders letter that were of interest to me are the following:
All of us at MusclePharm believe that our market capitalization today is not a valid reflection of our Company's current underlying fundamentals.
In 2012, we spent considerable time cleaning up the Company's balance sheet and raising other capital to support our growth.
Now, in the first quarter of 2013, after our registered direct offering, we believe we have positioned the Company to continue growing with the proper type of capital structure that will allow us to focus on profitability.
We are now debt free. We expect to use the remaining proceeds from the offering to launch new products, seek to expand internationally, and seek to increase our U.S. sales force.
The reverse split was a necessary step for us to seek a listing on a stock exchange. We expect we will have such a listing this summer after we post our 2013 first quarter results.
We project we will increase our gross revenues in 2013 to over $100 million.
We recently renegotiated our terms with our manufacturers and have refined our distribution model, and as a result, we should experience better sales margins. On top of this, we have reviewed our operating costs and are cutting several non- essential expenses.
but all of us here at MusclePharm have the goal of reaching $500 million in annual sales -- but only at a profitable level.
So with this said, I am happy to be a new investor and very happy that I did not have to put up with all the BS that the old investors had to put up with. With a new management team that has only been on board for a year or less and has built much larger companies, I feel we are in great hands. Brad is not running the day to day. He is a figure head and this company is being run by the likes of Bluher, Davis , DeLuca and Gregory. With Frost involved this will only go up. It will be painful since this is a low float stock and you will see it run up 2 bucks only to come back 1.5 then up 3 then down 4. But it will be in an uptrend so don't sell. In 2 years when they can get sales to 200-300M level the stock price will be at that $40 level. No one will complain about how lame Brad appeared in the Red Chip video. He has no business skills at all and he managed to build a $78M company. He now has experienced leaders throughout and Mr. Frosts money to help along the way.
or buy the rumor sell the news.
Now one other thought to consider here. Is this a buy the rumor sell on the news day or we just crank higher right from the opening bell. With such a low float this will get manipulated. Keep some cash free for the dips that may come.
Question for the board. If Dr. Frost put in $2.9M and has the right to purchase 2 shares for $8 isn't this a $4 stock price? Just trying to figure out the math. I am long so please do not attack. I think that this validates what MSLP is doing and the stock should fly if they can hit the $75M mark for 2012 and show a run rate of $125-$150M in rev for this year. All doable.
