It sounds like Mr. Pyatt should consider legally changing his name to Brad Pirate.
He has pillaged and plundered the assets of the company which belong to the shareholders.
In our opinion the Board of Directors should immediately remove him from his position as CEO.

The investor group that just poured $16 million into the company would have had access to information about the company's financial position as part of their extensive due diligence process.
They most likely would have also had an early peek at sales figures for the quarter.
Given their enthusiasm for the brand, along with their capital commitment, we see the likelihood of $CELH posting disappointing financial results for Q1 2015 as being remote.

Also, the fact that management is reinstating a conference call to discuss the quarterly results leads us to believe that they've got some good things to say.
Well, Duh !!!
After the DC Brands/Hard Nutrition fiasco what did you expect?
Not to mention the failed investment in DROP.
The company said Pyatt had been “involved in a personal bankruptcy and other failed business ventures,” in its annual report filed in 2013. “This may expose us to assertions by others that our management team may not know how to effectively run a business.”

The Wal-Mart stores located in the Metro Denver area are still selling MSLP products when we last were there a few weeks ago.
$CELH will soon have major distribution in China.

Hard to say. Something has to change here and soon. Otherwise, the company may have even greater challenges in the future.
Mr. Pyatt may wind up exiting with a golden parachute, and, if that is the case, we could see a much needed change in leadership.
Too bad Gerry David is not available. He'd be the perfect CEO to turn MSLP around.
Like we said in an earlier post, the Board of Directors is part of the problem at MSLP.

$CELH files SEC Form D Under Rule 506(b)

Purchasers of securities offered pursuant to Rule 506 receive "restricted" securities, meaning that the securities cannot be sold for at least a year without registering them.
Where do you see that Celsius is being run by a Goldman Sachs investment banker?
One of the new investors (Kimora Lee Simmons) is married to a Goldman Sachs investment banker who works in Asia.
That's quite a leap in our opinion!
"See the difference when your company is run by Goldman Sachs investment banker vs a bankruptcy filing kick returner with a fumbling problem?"
It's actually a press release for one company with some additional color around a few others. Take note of the following wording:

Very interesting article mentions both MSLP and CELH and the consumer trends that both companies are taking advantage of today.

BTW, we've noticed a lot of misinformation being posted regarding both CELH and MSLP.
It might help, for those who are interested, to perform some due diligence instead of shooting from the hip and posting erroneous information.
This is our sweet spot when it comes to research, and we just cringe when we see what some folks are saying publicly.

In case you missed it.
With a very small number of shares in the public float, shorts have had, and will likely continue to have, a hard time borrowing shares of $CELH.
Normally after a big run up in price, like the one $CELH has experienced, traders will borrow shares and short the stock.
However, in this case, it may be difficult to put selling pressure on the stock without having the ability to borrow shares and put on a short position.
This could mean that buyers will remain in control, and could run the stock even higher.

This is a game changer for energy drinks.
Here are some very good reasons why MusclePharm will not be able to compete effectively in the energy drink market.
With 7 clinical studies to substantiate their claims, and the National Advertising Division of The Better Business Bureau having signed off on the company's ability to promote and market these claims, everybody else in just an ordinary energy drink.

The richest man in Asia invests in $CELH.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Ka-shing
Carl DeSantis is not going to give away the store. He is not in this to make only a few bucks. He's got a much bigger vision for Celsius.
We are sure that the new investors had access to the financials for Q1 as part of the due diligence process.We wouldn't expect to see an announcement of a deal like this unless the Q1 numbers were very solid.
If the Q1 revenues come in above $5.5M, with a net profit of somewhere between $425,000 and $475,000, we would be very impressed.
This company is still undiscovered by many investors. Back-to back profitable quarters would surely get their attention.
Here is the way that we look at the structure of the deal announced today.
On December 31, 2014 CELH closed at 0.50 cents a share. The 50-day moving average is currently at $1.15.
In all fairness, this stock has just begun to move up recently in a rather dramatic fashion. We do not believe that it is fair to look at a single day's price (current levels) to determine the extent of how shares were priced at a discount to the new investors.
The big picture view that we are taking is that there has been a substantial reduction in overall debt levels, along with an infusion of cash equal to approximately 50% of market capitalization, based on the aforementioned 50-day moving average.
This doesn't include the effect that deploying that new cash and opening up the China market will have on future revenues.
We are certain that this deal had to be repriced a number of times along the way due to the almost quadrupling in the stock price since 2014 year-end.
Pricing shares at 0.89 cents, in our view, when the price of CELH common stock has been $1.15 over the last 50 days, works out to a fair adjustment to the average share price; providing roughly a 22% discount to the new investors.
Here is the structure of the deal announced earlier today.

Today's announcement is the first step we expected to begin the process of moving in the right direction. We applaud the Board of Directors and Mr. Frost.
However, that being said, there is still much work to be done.

If MusclePharm has to pay huge slotting fees to retailers to get shelf space, you can pretty much forget about them making any money.
Been there, done that!
It wasn't pretty.
We agree. That's why going the private-label route at Costco would make no sense. You would lose the brand identity.
