Late into Fridays close over 70,000 shares were bought at the ask. Mike, was this you?
This quarter wasnt weak. Raw had mentioned this several times that we could see a slight loss but that the next quarter is the real one to watch. Should be a monster. Does anyone around here really do any DD . Seems like most people like to whine.
VBDG Conference Call Highlights:
Retail sales up 50% over Q1.
Steam Buddy having superb sell-through. Sold out at every single cataloger that it's been in.
MyPlace selling out as soon as it hits the retail shelf including the drug store chains that normally only sell low-priced products. Were on QVC and sold out in 7 minutes. Going back on QVC Sept 1-2. Wal-mart they sell out right away too.
Our products selling the highest per square foot of any product in Staples.
Much financial cost-cutting improvements only began in 2nd half of Q2 and will be reflected more in Q3 onward.
2 more new products expected to be launched by year's end.
Still feel that they can hit $50 million in 2008 and are affirming their forecast of profitability for 2008 as a whole for any sales within that range.
-- that translates to +.07 EPS absolute minimum for the 2nd half of the year or a +.14 annual pace. If they hit the high end of guidance or $6 million over the lowend in sales, if they can achieve 50% of those extra sales going directly to the bottom line like they did this Q, that's an extra .10 EPS or +.17 EPS total for the 2nd half of the year or a +.34 EPS annual pace.
+.14 EPS annual pace:
PE of 10 = $1.40
PE of 20 = $2.80
+.34 EPS annual pace:
PE of 10 = $3.40
PE of 20 = $6.80
Lots of new products in the pipeline. Whats not to like?
I will have to break out the K-Y and rub my crystal balls for that one. Short term I dont care what it does. I will be here for a long time.True multi-bagger potential.Just give it more than one quarter to get there.
Buy on dips. Hold for the long term. Reap rewards later.
Sweet CC. Things were about as expected this go round. Hard not to be positive.
Good. Now i can get of this dang computer. See yall later.
Yes, i know the CC is at 4:30 I was curious as to when they would announce earnings.
i thought 4:30 was the CC?
What time do they report earnings?
if you want a date we would have to go in the evening because I have to work during the day. But thanks for asking.
GWman contest...pick VBDG aug 18 noon
Because of the television advertising campaigns that Vertical Branding uses to test-market its products and build brand equity in advance of a product’s retail roll-out, Ms. Duitch notes in the interview, the retail buyer “doesn’t need a crystal ball” to choose top-selling “As Seen on TV” products, because “we know what works.”She goes on to say that the rapid success of the growing category leader program has created “a more predictable revenue model for us.” http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/080804/20080804005346.html?.v=1
It wont be manipulated as bad if it goes to the AMEX
Yeah and just think if we get a surpize Q2 result of +.01 maybe Q3 will be +.08 Q4 +.12 can u say CAA-CHING
Back to school is starting soon. Maybe this is why they are sold out everywhere.
Question for the board....when a company issues a PR and at the end of the article it states.."We seek safe harbor" What does this mean or imply???
I think you are correct. I will bail and get what I can for it and come back to it after it settles down a bit. I think the news was very bad. Its a shame I couldnt have sold some earlier like you.
Since they have declared they would be profitable for 08 and the first quarter was -.05 you are looking at a minimun average of .02 per quarter.Going forward this puts VBDG at least at 1.60 given a p/e of 20.Of course its possible for this quarter to be dull and the next to be the monster quarter given that this quarter features an incomplete rollout to all the outlets.
Out of AYSI and into VBDG. Time to recoup.
VBDG 2009 = $4 a share
GNLK breakout.
