Well Josh, since you are not convinced my suggestion to you is to email Scott yourself. As for me, I am convinced that the float is 12.3mil. Good luck to you!
Josh, you are correct that International Equities Group owns 15mil shares. Its up on CVSL's website. Its called transperancy. You left out part of what is in that report though.
"IEG has been retained by CVSL to perform various consulting services, which include the oversight (preparation and issuance of this research report)."
CVSL is certainly not going to pay a firm $4mil in shares JUST for a reasearch report. That would be just foolish!
Why is it bad that Scott USED to work for them? What are you implying? If I used too work for a company and still had a good relationship with them and felt they were the best at what they do I would suggest them to my new empoloyer too! What's wrong with that? Guess I don't know where you are going with that.
IEG is an insitutional investment firm specialising in the European and Asian markets.
Don't you think CVSL would want some return on their investment in this company before they are allowed to just dump their shares?
And, don't you think IEG would rather sell their shares at over a dollar rather than selling between $.25 and $.30?
Go CVSL!!
Thanks Tut! That quite a compliment coming from the DD master!
Go CVSL!
CVSL Float: 12.3mm!!
I emailed Scott Pumper this morning. We no longer need to speculate! Here is his reply:
Bryan,
There are approximately 12.3mm shares that are unrestricted and not subject to lockups now. Thank you for contacting us directly and not depending on speculation from stock forums. If there is anything us we can help you with please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Best Regards,
Scott Pumper
Thank you dancingblonde! Hopefully we get news on our newest acquisition soon. 2 more before the end of this year and 1 each quarter next year!!
Go CVSL!!!!
I'm ready - Let's go MNVN!
Did you get some of those 17's like you wanted? Now, can we move up!?
Hey dancingblonde, been here since the guidewire days and as you said I plan on holding for much longer. Definitely broke the "don't fall in love with a stock" rule! LOL! Just wish I had more shares!
Go CVSL
ICNB - Patience will pay! "Please stand by".
Go CVSL! This should be well into dollars by now with all the good news happening! We never really had a huge volume day. Can you imagine what would happen if we did!? People have tried to find negatives about this company to no avail!
Ahhh, only a half hour into trading and there is already the doom and gloom! Lol! I don't hear the fat lady singing yet! Go MNVN!
Wow! Excellent DD as usual Tut. You continue to deliver! Go CVSL!
I agree! Why does it seem that the real companies with real potential revenue don't run more than the pos that are out there? Not that it needs to run. A slow steady increase in pps is fine with me.
REVO
SLIO - Looks like it may be a GOOD crap shoot though! 6.7mil vs 284k 10 day avg - 52 week high $.134. Not overplayed by ihub. Float looks good at 88mil - unless that has changed.
SLIO 6.7mil vs 284k 10 day avg. 52 wk .001-.134. OTCQB. Shares o/s 288mil, float 88mil. Up 50% now.

Research Report Issued On CVSL Inc. Cites ""Significant Growth Opportunities""
Jul 9, 2013 15:51:00 (ET)
DALLAS, July 9, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- A report on CVSL Inc. (stock symbol:CVSL) issued today by analysts at International Equities Group (IEG) says that CVSL's strategy of acquiring direct selling companies offers "significant growth opportunities."
"This is an innovative concept for the direct selling industry, offering several benefits such as access to shared resources, highly experienced leadership and diversification on multiple levels," states the report, which was authored by IEG's equity research department analysts Vitalie Eremia, CFA and Mihai Onceanu.
The report calls CVSL's strategy "unique," and cites as its strengths several factors, including "the vast operating experience" of CVSL's executive team, including its many years of experience in direct selling and its patented, proprietary methods of marketing analysis.
"The direct selling industry has long been a powerful economic sector, and it may be ripe for a significant innovation. CVSL believes it can provide that innovation which would change the industry," notes the report.
"Most direct selling companies are privately held," states the report. "As a publicly-traded company, CVSL gives founders and owners of such companies an opportunity to own shares, thus monetizing at least some of their ownership while remaining as active leaders in their companies. CVSL also allows the opportunity for independent sales representatives to earn shares through sales performance, which gives them an added wealth building stake in the success of their company. Employees, also, can have the special motivation of earning stock options. These factors give CVSL companies an interesting competitive advantage."
The report calls CVSL's chairman, John Rochon, a "visionary" and notes that he has long been a leader in the direct selling industry. "In view of Mr. Rochon's history of innovation in using the power of the Internet in direct selling, it is logical that now his strategy for innovation in direct selling with CVSL would include the use of "consumer cloud" connections via Internet, e-commerce, social media and mobile technologies to open new avenues for commerce and new connections within this sector," the report notes.
Commenting on the release of today's report, Mr. Rochon said he is gratified that CVSL is earning attention in the investment community.
"We're confident that our strategy is a good one. Today's report by the IEG analysts is another indication that people both inside and outside direct selling are hearing our story and liking what they hear. As the IEG report says, ours is a long-term growth strategy. We believe we can have a big impact on micro-enterprise over the coming years. The more people who learn what we are doing, the more our momentum increases."

"Our team works so hard to develop truly innovative products that are unlike any in the industry, so for us to win in this category is especially gratifying," said Colleen Walters, president and chief spice curator at Your Inspiration At Home.
It was announced on May 8 that Your Inspiration At Home had signed a letter of intent to become part of publicly-traded CVSL Inc. [stock symbol: CVSL].

Man! Wish I had some extra cash to pick up some more!
I'm with you ID! Go CVSL!
I did. But, only a small amount for fear that I might miss the REAL run. I'm still learning. I'm a small potato compared to a lot on this board. Out of all the stocks in my portfolio this is the only one that I have recommended to my friends and co-workers.
I must admit, this is my first cc that I was interested in listening to. I think it was all good! I'm with dancingblonde - I will be toasting each and every one of you, one at a time!! Been holding for 2 years now and it has been a wonderful ride and will continue to be one!Go CVSL!!!!
Go REAC!
So, let me get this straight, we have a QB fully reporting stock, approx 56m float, a lot of big IHub players, Flex Nation (all good calls), the great gals that are all over the great ones (GEM, Elly, Cjstosksup and more), we have DeximusMaximus (look at his DD on ICN#) and)you only have 2 bashers/shorters and this was at .273 9/12! Where is this going? I'm thinking way up! Don't know too much - I'm new at this. Have had to learn the hard way that you can’t trust hardly anyone on IHub.
Of course my dumbass put in a low bid at 9am this and decided not to brak my rule not to chase and I'm not in so I get to watch everybody make money but, thats my luck!
The fundamentals aren’t really that bad – the majority shareholder (the CEO) is carrying much of the debt.
These are their plans:
Currently while their are other real estate directories and portals on the internet only a select few feature real estate agents on a semi-exclusive basis. We believe this approach will be attractive to real estate professionals in each locale.
We will also have the technology to focus on online media, particularly video. We will provide an online National Real Estate Video Listings Network that will include rich media content including weekly and monthly shows by region which can be sold to sponsors and to affiliates by territory.
We want to position our company as the first of its kind National Real Estate Listings Video Channel. We will operate the most definitive online video network for real estate.
Real Estate Contacts, Inc. will offer affiliate territories for local publishing of online real estate video channels in many areas, where our affiliate partner can own their own video channel, manage the publishing and display hundreds of video properties in a true television format through one simple tool giving real estate professionals exposure for their properties in less time and for less money.
The RealEstateContacts.com portal website also features local mortgage brokers, lenders, real estate appraisers and real estate attorneys that want more traffic and exposure to their website for potential new clients. By featuring local mortgage brokers, appraisers and real estate attorneys our website allows the consumer to have access to any financial, legal or appraisals questions and can receive all the information they need quickly in their geographical area. The driving of internet traffic is the key to any online marketing company. We intend to build our advertising campaign around all internet related marketing concepts, such as search engine optimization, pay per clicks advertising, banner advertising, email marketing, and linking up to other real estate portals and directories.
Our goal is to connect real estate professionals with consumers who are interested in buying or selling a home. We currently are aligned with over 2000 real estate offices and agents covering all 50 states.
We plan to grow revenues in the next 12 months by undertaking the following steps:
Devote greater resources to marketing and selling our services such as developing and creating a more productive advertising sales division within our company by the hiring of advertising sales account executives.
Focus to expand our network of advertisers and real estate professionals by increasing our online presence to include various marketing channels such as the major search engines, Google, Yahoo and Bing.
Expand our company ’ s public relations by creating more brand awareness on the internet. An example would be to focus on other social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
Develop other marketing programs to efficiently increase our brand awareness such as email campaigns, newsletters, linking our website to other real estate business websites, real estate portals and directories.
We intend to continue, maintain and aggressively pursue to build our advertising campaign around all internet related marketing concepts, such as search engine optimization, pay per click advertising, banner advertising and social media networks.
Focus on driving more internet traffic and unique visitors to our website by using these search engine marketing techniques.
We plan to advertise on internet search engines and other websites, and supplement this advertising with other media to help manage and geographically target consumer traffic and lead volume.
We plan to increase our online Search Engine Marketing to create more unique users. Measuring unique users is important to us because our advertising revenues depend in part on our ability to enable our consumers to connect with real estate professionals. We define a unique user as a user who visits our website at least once during a calendar month, as measured by our analytical tools.
The number of real estate subscribers (advertiser) on our website is an important driver of revenue growth because each subscriber pays us a yearly fee to participate in the advertising of their services.
Build, develop, market and hire national sales account advertising executives and create additional revenues by offering real estate professionals for a yearly advertising fee the opportunity to have their own real estate video channel on the internet.
