I think we might get that back on Friday and then on Monday see another 2 bucks. am I too optimistic?
Don't you think the drop is due to people making tax decisions for 2014? everyone that made money on GPRO can use the realized gain on the sale and net that gain against all those stock sales that had losses to reduce the tax on their return. Normal process at year end. Nothing to be scared about.
On Friday they will be back buying before it goes through the roof due to the positives we have been hearing all month. Leading sales at Amazon, Announcement at the Bellagio etc.
1. Root Beer
2. Cream or Vanilla
3. Banana
A lot of people are mixing the existing fizz with booze. Maybe they should start selling this in kegs to bars. Replace concession stand soda with the FIZZ. All the ball parks
Know what you own
Investing for the long term. Did you see this in the Motley Fool?
It is absolutely important to understand the relative price you are paying for that business, but what isn't important is attempting to understand whether you're buying in at the "right time," as that is so often just an arbitrary imagination.
In Buffett's own words, "if you're right about the business, you'll make a lot of money," so don't bother about attempting to buy stocks based on how their stock charts have looked over the past 200 days. Instead always remember that "it's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price."
"With a wonderful business, you can figure out what will happen; you can't figure out when it will happen. You don't want to focus on when, you want to focus on what. If you're right about what, you don't have to worry about when"
So often investors are told they must attempt to time the market, and begin investing when the market is on the rise, and sell when the market is falling.
This type of technical analysis of watching stock movements and buying based on how the prices fluctuate over 200-day moving averages or other seemingly arbitrary fluctuations often receives a lot of media attention, but it has been proved to simply be no better than random chance.
Hey that Buffet guy is the one with a lot of money right.
Thank you SS. I am hoping the Fizz comes to the Midwest sooner than later so some of my Midwest models can promote it and distribute it. www.cosmomodels.org I have sent info into HQ. Anyone that can help me get in that door I would greatly appreciate. Not sure who they used at the charity race in California but we are not as strong out there as the Midwest.
Good point. maybe that was 9 mil he made this year. I saw something with a list of wrestlers of the WWE I thought it said net worth. he is the only wrestler that I know seems to do more earning outside the ring, lol so hopefully he is not brain dead
Does that ClayTrader guy ever do his speel on this stock? The WWE wrestler John Latham or Lathrop said on Bulls and Bears a couple weeks ago this would go through the roof like 50% in 6 months. John is worth 9 mil
Thank you
Did you see the inventor/owner of GPRO is the new investor on Shark Tank?
GoPro leads holiday sales of cameras on Amazon
36 minutes ago - DJNF
By Ciara Linnane, MarketWatch
Disney's Frozen dolls are best-selling toy
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- GoPro Inc.'s(GPRO) wearable equipment and accessories were the best-selling cameras on Amazon.com this holiday season, the online retailer said on Friday.
Without offering specifics on sales (GoPro or otherwise) or its own profit, Amazon unveiled the top-selling items for the holidays in a wide range of categories, from books to videos, toys and electronic equipment.
No surprise here: Merchandise related to the Disney (DIS) smash hit "Frozen" figured in a number of categories. The Frozen Princess Elsa doll was the top-selling toy, while Anna and Elsa digital watches led that category and the Frozen Karaoke set was third-biggest seller in music after "That is Christmas to Me" by Pentatonix and "1989" by Taylor Swift.
Amazon Fire TV was the best-selling streaming media box, while the Fire TV Stick was the fastest-selling Amazon device ever, the company said The top-selling movies on Amazon.com were "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Maleficent."
Amazon (AMZN) said its free shipping program Amazon Prime added a record 10 million new members during the holiday season. The company shipped items to 185 countries with customers ordering more than 10 times as many items with same-day delivery over 2013.
The company said nearly 60% of its customers used a mobile device for their holiday shopping with the trend accelerating late in the season. Cyber Monday was the company's biggest mobile shopping day, while Black Friday showed the highest growth in mobile shopping.
Shares were up almost 2% in midday trade, but are down about 23% in the year so far, while the S&P 500 has gained 13%.

Didn't want to throw out the entire chunk from Scottrade if it was already duplicated but here is more info for those who might be like me and not read all the messages on ihub when you miss a day or two or three. All sounds pretty good even the questions that come up about increase in authorized shares
FY 2015, Q1
Due to our recent Acquisition of Avanzar, we now fall under the predecessor definition under Regulation C, Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933. The simple explanation is: At the date of the acquisition, Avanzar's operations were substantially larger than Minerco's operations; therefore, in our quarterly and annual reports, we will be reporting Avanzar's historical data (pre-acquisition) and the combined entity (Minerco -- Level 5 with Avanzar) post-acquisition going forward. The transaction was classified as an acquisition or merger and not a reverse merger because Minerco was and is an / the operating company; and therefore, the transaction was not accounted for as a reverse merger. The full and complete two-year audit of Avanzar will be available next month.
To highlight and discuss the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, just filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), regarding Level 5 and its beverage business:
1. Top line revenues for Q1 FY 2015 (ending 10/31/2014) in excess of
$503,000. When compared with Minerco -- Level 5 revenues for all of FY
2014 of $12,381, this represents an increase of over 4,000%. Note:
VitaminFIZZ sales for the quarter (from late August launch through
October 31, 2014) were approximately $85,000 (including approximately
$20,000 in sales to Avanzar); however, due to the timing and mechanics of
the acquisition (predecessor accounting requirements), only VitaminFIZZ
sales occurring from October 25 -- 31, 2014 were reported on the
Quarterly Report.
2. Assets increased by 259% from $1,011,586 (as of July 31, 2014) to
$2,617,550 (as of October 31, 2014).
3. Liabilities increased from $2,115,776 to $4,918,192, mostly due to the
acquisition of Avanzar and draws from our Line of Credit. While the
quarterly report reflects the Avanzar Promissory Notes attributable to
the new company (post acquisition), the report does not reflect the fact
that all existing (pre-acquisition) Avanzar Notes are the responsibility
of the original (pre- acquisition) members of Avanzar, as per the
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement between Level 5 and Avanzar. If
Minerco -- Level 5 choose to pay or settle these pre-existing Avanzar
Notes, we will earn greater equity interest in Avanzar.
To highlight and discuss the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, just filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), regarding Avanzar and its sales and distribution business:
1. Quarter over quarter, Avanzar's gross profit margin increased. This
increase reflects an upgrade in the product portfolio to higher margin
products (namely Popcornopolis) in larger retail channels.
2. Increasing Accounts Receivable and Payables balances. Avanzar is a
distributor and a broker providing key account sales into major
chains. Avanzar takes on new brands and represents them as the broker
(sales), so they have receivables and payables with the same
manufacturer.
3. Avanzar holds a 50% stake in Island Style, which has been added to the
Level 5 pipeline of brands under development. More to follow on Island
Style in 2015.
Continuing on, below are some frequently asked questions and my short answers:
Q: Will the company need to increase the Authorized Shares and/or do a Reverse Split?
(This is the #1 question I have been asked most recently!)
A: The Convertible Promissory Notes that are past their maturity date have to be allowed to convert or an exchange has to be negotiated. The days of the company taking Convertible Notes for cash are behind us, as we have graduated to LOC(s) and more traditional financing; however, a small number of these older Notes still exist and are being dealt with in a responsible (long term growth) manner. Since we are not taking any new Convertible Notes and the existing, mature Notes are virtually paid off, we believe the current share structure is sufficient to get us to the next step in our evolution.
Q: Why acquire Avanzar? How does it benefit Minerco shareholders?
A: The acquisition of Avanzar brings multiple advantages to Level 5. The first is vertically integrating our beverage company to create another income stream allowing us 2 bites at our proverbial apple and a bite at others. Additionally, the addition of Avanzar gives us a huge advantage in the roll out of VitaminFIZZ(R) and our continuing, extensive pipeline of products. We basically have our very own pilot testing platform in one of the greatest markets in the world.
Q: Are there any updates on Vitamin Creamer(R) or The Herbal Collection(TM)?
A: Vitamin Creamer(R) and The Herbal Collection(TM) will have significant progress to report in early 2015. In line with our philosophy, we will report any updates after they happen.
Q: Where will be the next market(s) to expand VitaminFIZZ?
A: The original markets of SoCal and NYC, with a winter time focus of SoCal, are performing extremely well and beyond original expectations. The next markets (planned for Spring) will include regional expansion in the Southwest, at least 1 new major market in the South and the United Kingdom. As these markets light up, our consumers and our shareholders will be the first to know.
A side note: We will continue to responsibly expand, both geographically and in scope. With our contacts, we could very easily get all of our products into all 50 states in a matter of months, but only to see all of our products fail due to lack of support within a year. We are building a sustainable company that will, in time, launch countless brands into a global market; therefore, we will not expose our company, our brands or our shareholders to short cuts creating short term success but ending in ultimate failure.
Q: What is the significance of the relationship with Advantage Sales & Marketing (ASM)?
A: ASM is the premier retail placement broker in the English speaking world. The fact that ASM is interested in a brand that is 100 days into its launch is unprecedented. The fact that their largest competitor is the broker handling Sparkling Ice is great motivation for ASM to light up VitaminFIZZ accounts at a frantic pace. The other unique benefit provided by ASM is their in-house marketing and advertising firm, In Marketing Services.
I realize there are many other questions, and I will try to address them in future letters and company updates.
We introduced VitaminFIZZ to the world approximately 100 days ago. While we achieved staggering success in these 100 days, we still have LOTS of work to do. Over the coming weeks and months, we will be growing the reach of VitaminFIZZ and the scope of Level 5. The challenges we have in front of us are not easy ones, but none of life's worthwhile endeavors are easy. Our challenges are notable, but our opportunities are infinitely larger and greater. Our team of exceptional shareholders, world class products, remarkable partners and committed leaders will overcome these challenges while exploiting every opportunity.

Minerco Resources Chairman & CEO Issues Letter to Shareholders Regarding Q1 of FY 2015

Minerco Resources Chairman & CEO Issues Letter to Shareholders Regarding Q1 of FY 2015
HOUSTON, Dec. 22, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Minerco Resources, Inc. (OTC:MINE), the parent company of Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc. a specialty beverage company which develops, produces, markets and distributes a diversified portfolio of forward-thinking, good-for-you consumer brands issued a letter to its shareholders from Chairman & CEO, V. Scott Vanis today. The letter follows:
Dear Shareholders,
We had a very busy, productive and exciting Q1 of FY 2015. We launched the hottest new "good for you" product, VitaminFIZZ(R), in Southern California (SoCal) and New York City (NYC), acquired our SoCal distributor, Avanzar Sales and Distribution (Avanzar), and realized substantial financial gains highlighted by over $503,000 in top line revenues.
We all have to remember (as I often forget) that we are only 100 days into the VitaminFIZZ launch. According to our expert beverage partners and advisors, what we have accomplished in 100 days is nothing short of impressive. So take a minute to pat ourselves on the back, but now back to work. We are barely getting started!
VitaminFIZZ Highlights
As of last week, VitaminFIZZ(R) was available in more than 825 locations in SoCal and NYC. By the end of the current quarter, ending January 31, 2015, more major chain placements will be added to this already impressive list. See the VitaminFIZZ store locator for details. In preparation for the addition of these new key accounts, the majority of VitaminFIZZ new label inventory has been purchased by Avanzar in SoCal.
Other key events for VitaminFIZZ include the planned Spring, 2015 expansion into the United Kingdom (UK) and the addition of Advantage Sales and Marketing (ASM) to the impressive list of VitaminFIZZ partners.
Avanzar Highlights
Avanzar has been very productive in the last 90 days as well. In addition to rapidly expanding the VitaminFIZZ locations, including over 200 Walgreens and a few more additional major chain placements, Avanzar has greatly enhanced its portfolio of products (including Popcornopolis, Fruzinga and many others). Just as important is the fact that Avanzar has increased its footprint in SoCal, and Avanzar has greatly expanded its sales and brokerage business to successfully include large key account chains in its territory. This geographic and brokerage accounts expansion will continue and is essential to the execution of our business model.
You don't think the last ten minutes these flippers will have a field day?
I am new to this stock. When the insider bought half a million at 3 cents a share in November why didn't this sky rocket?
Is this the same Thomas Parker from Parker Drilling?
Where is everyone. Looks like a good time to buy. Why is it so quite here. Insider buyer in November. One bought earlier this year at over a dollar.
A lot of times an entire industry is affected by events (states legalizing for example) so all the stocks are equally affected but not so in penny stocks cause we are still sifting thru the scam stocks. I try to find out which stocks in an industry I can sort scam from investible by asking questions on the board from participants to share what they know so we all don't get scammed and we all invest in the right pennies to make money. hope that makes sense I know that was long winded
that was in Scottrade why is it false? what is the real news please?
Should these types of sales at ERBB be true of most MJ companies?

Buffett likes trains does he know about this one?
Stock Ninja or someone, can you tell me again what the 911 code is? I am still new here and I know there is a code of numbers we should be looking for that the MMs use etc. Can you help refresh my memory on these codes. Thank you
thank you. Looks like his investment company has three other partners, he sits on four or five Boards. A lot of Audit committee stuff which should mean he is ethical and knows business. I am a SOX and internal auditor and used to report to audit committees. they usually don't want to be at risk so they keep an eye on the financials and operations. I only have 100,000 shares here but this stock is looking good to possibly get deeper in the water. Plus I like LA and Vegas. lol

I think they still show the revenues and say "unaudited" financials until they are audited I would think they would want to be pretty accurate so as to not have a large "audited" figure later that was greatly different. That would scare people away. Also should show revenues of the acquired company Avanzar or is that an investment? I forget what the percent was. And when the herbal stuff comes out shouldn't it be Vitabuzz? That should also be discussed in the management section should nt it. a lot of good things this puppy should be a grown dog by next year.

(VIICQ ) Vision Industries Announces Request to Prototype 32 Tyrano(TM) TrucksFriday 11/28/2014 10:41 AM ET - Dow Jones News
LONG BEACH, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 28, 2014 / Vision Industries (OTC: VIICQ) received an official request from a Canadian Energy Solutions Company to prototype 32 Tyrano(TM) trucks at a remote mining site in Northern Canada. The mining site has a massive wind turbine facility which can produce hydrogen through an electrolyzer. With the capability to produce on-site hydrogen, the mining company hopes to eliminate the need for shipping large quantities of diesel fuel (to the remote site) before onset of winter. During the winter season, the shipping lanes are usually frozen.
Think about it. What is the liquor company that Vanis is on the Board of? How is that product distributed? I think these guys are lining up several streams of revenue not just Fizz. Business rule now a days is to have more than one revenue stream and these guys are not only doing that but they are also cutting down their supply chain costs. (Delivery, interest.........)
