Other than testing of the product, what part does RSHN play in the Apple Rush bevs? I have not seen any other formal agreements and maybe that is the final piece in the puzzle.

Leonard Marshall is a marquee name, though from a different generation, and his connections should be a great asset. Time will tell... Getting someoe like TD, or some newly retired players, would be helpful. I am sure the NFL will be very picky about any current players endorsing products in this industry.

Thanks for the share on that. That's a pretty huge opportunity on both fronts NFL and Veterans) and it's time people open their eyes to that reality. They hypocrisy of the NFL needs to be taken down and they have a pretty good opportunity to enhance their brand with bringing the prospects of CBD to to the forefront. Not sure that RSHN management has the connections to get that done, but wow...

Fins aren't late - not due til 3/30. If they file late (10K-NT) they have ten more business days after 3/30. I fully expect the company to file their reports at the end of March. If you don't see them then, feel free to throw up a red flag.

Since you mention the Form 10 - it makes no sense for them to file anything if they are going through the re-audit for the Form 10. If Form 10 is not ready by end of March, they will need to make a decision on reporting at that point. Until then, it makes sense for them to hold off on issuing the Annual Report with full year 2018 numbers.

I don't really care where VATE went from in Dec 2017. The question is where are they going now? Their market position has changed (new products entering) and the Farm Bill and other states legalizing has made the overall market larger. It's about execution now and we'll see what RM has been working on soon enough.

There are many companies much larger than VATE that trade on the OTC - doesn't make any of them scams. The logic on the argument is starting to fall apart.

they aren't pink - so now worries for VATE

and don't let the door hit you on the way out :)

Several weeks for both types of drinks. I would expect to see something being released before the end of the month, with all of both coffee and tea being available by end of Q2. Keep tabs on the distributors, they will be the ones letting folks know product is available. I would also expect a more comprehensive update as part of the Annual Report at end of March.

Not pink, and we'll see what the next financials have to say about any dilutive financing that remains when they come out at the end of March. Plus, the legalization of Hemp opened up the path to the banks and better financing, not to mention the credit card payments being accepted.

What do you expect from a company starting up? Good metric to watch over the next three quarters of 2019 to see the progress they make as revenue begins to increase significantly.

HighDrate or Kona Gold?

Hempseed? Dropping this kind of info deserves a little explanation. based on trading yesterday, I think someone wanted in and the MMs made that happen. No other reason to drop the price a tick other than to accommodate a large buyer. JMO and I guess we'll see how things play out. They really can't screw around much before end oF Q1 with getting another finanical report done, so the clock is ticking.

Any chance one of the flavors will be raspberry - just curious :)

Thanks for the feedback. I hope the enthusiasm turns into positive business results and share price appreciation...

You've been saying that for at least the last year and the wheels keep turning...

What is one thing you can share from the conversation with Ryan that makes you excited for the future?

Thanks in advance for attending and the pictures. Some firsthand knowledge is always the best.

They were more than three years delinquent when they started reporting last year - nice improvement and thanks for pointing that out.

CBD isn't invading the food supply, so not sure that the FDA is going to step in that hard/fast. The FDA will be forced to make some decisions here sooner rather than later for clarity. I also anticipate that positive advances in other parts of the word will drive the US to get clarity so they aren't left out of the business opportunity. I think our northern border will prove that out quickly...

Good point, but proof is in the pudding - or whatever else they are packing. It will be interesting to see what Mr. Eakle releases on or about 3/30 in regard to what you are stating.

Awfully quiet after the Illegal Burger promotional event yesterday - anyone even stop in?

It does seem a bit odd that Mr. Shibley has been so quiet since the start of the year. Must be something big in the works, or he left the building.

I have no idea, but a few things seem interesting in that they are touting Alkalinity and CBD to go with the L-Theanine. Given that Just Chill is an endorsed brand of LA Libations and the conversations PUR*A supposedly had with them in 2018, there is potential.

It may be nothing, but certainly some points that are worth some investigation...

Given the PR today from LFE*R, will be interesting to see if there are any ties to ALKM as a supply chain partner. All the talk by PUR*A about discussions with the folks at the big brand beverage may be validated or debunked soon enough.

No problems here and the marketing plan would be good. The real question is revs and how much they have coming in their first production run of the new drinks. As you mentioned, the plug into Kona's distribution is the path of least resistance and not sure how well that path has been traveled already. Some of that may be touched on in the Annual Report and we'll see how quickly they move once product is available.

I think VATE is doing just fine and the buying opportunity right now has been a pleasant surprise. I'd love to load more, but can't tie up too much right now without some more proof those cans/bottles are going to be delivered by March 1.

Let's have a conversation about what VATE has failed at come the end of March.

- Q4 numbers will be revealed
- THey should have released both drinks by then
- Annual Report will include business commentaty for Q1 and plan for next few months

What's another six weeks in the grand scheme of things?

Q2 is the time frame to keep an eye on - reorders from first distributors and potential expansion. There could be a small lull while they are ironing out the kinks with the increase in distribution, but the timing may not allow it. If they can manage it, the time to sign a bunch of new distributors would be late March/early April to fill their pipeline after they get through a first round of re-orders. Good problems to have...

Any reason they are not promoting the 2019 Arnold Festival this year? Only two weeks away and no mention of it so far... Seems like a perfect follow up to the Illegal Burger events and a chance to get the rebranded product in front of their primary audience.

If anyone has any insight, please post.

Financials are not due until 3/30/19. The company may choose to release ahead of that, but there is no obligation for them before 3/30. Keep in mind the Form 10 activities for uplist play into this, so both events will likley come together.

Financials are going to tell who is winning and Q1 numebrs may be the best gauge. I must admit I expected to see a larger launch of the rebranded EverX, but it is still early and they will be kicking things off this week. Shibley has been very quiet since the start of the year, so tough to say what is happening. Their push past the $1M dollar in revs was a big deal, so we'll see what happens as Q1 gets closed out.

Do you really think the FDA is going to stand in the way of the CBD movement? I think the push to legalization nationalwide is going to surprise a lot of people and there are too many folks behind the Hemp movement to slow this down. The FDA may put in some regulation and testing/certification requirements, but they won't ban CBD from consumption. That's the beauty of mainstream acceptance in other countries where big money is involved. The US capitalist movement won't be left out.

Why? The company is in way better position than they have been in the last year - why would the share price drop in half now?

I would expect it some time the week of March 25th.

The quarterly numbers for Q4 and Q1 should be awesome and that will really reinforce the announcements being made. It would be pretty cool to see some sort of large event announced for early Q2 (April/May) to keep the momentum rolling. The real sign of success will be when the orders continue to ramp after the first re-order as that is the sign that people are buying after the first try. Excinting times ahead and hopefully the distribution line-up keeps expanding at this pace throughout the year.

At this point, tempering expectations based on experience would be wise. Surprises to the positive make things far more palatable...

You'll get updates by 3/30 for sure. My guess is there will be some news once either new product starts shipping. As mentioned earlier, pay attention to whose posting here as you have someone actively selling VATE products...

Q4 numbers are included as part of the annual report and those reports are due 90 days following end of the quarter. The company is not obligated to report those numbers until 3/30, so it's at their discretion as to when they actually publish the numbers. The yahoo date is simply a placehloder assuming ~45 days after a quarter close, which is meaningless at this point as it is end of reporting year. Since POTN is also trying to correctly submit a Form 10, they need audited numbers to get that done, which really points to these numbers coming out closer to 3/30. As an aside, they can also file a request to report late that allows them an additional 10 calendar days to get the report out.

Just the facts folks and it's really up to the company to release early if they choose. Form 10 and Annual Report require audited numbers, so they both fill the same purpose and will likely get both when they do come out.

Just a guess, but some time between end of this week and end of march. It will be 90 days next week since the last fins came out (11/19) and I would expect the 10k for 2016 to be out around that time frame. Pretty good chance they can get some 2017 numbers (Q1) out by end of Q1 as well. No guarantees, but they need to get something out before end of March to validate progress on getting current for the SEC.

take a deep breath folks and have a little patience. We are fortunate to have an active distributor posting info about when product will be available, so use that to your benefit. THere should be plenty revealed by end of Q1, along with an annual report. That's seven weeks, which may feel like an eternity for flippers/traders, but is nothing in the actual long term view of VATE.

Assuming they will try to piggyback on the KGKG distribution relationships, things look pretty good for VATE, so they need to get the product out and make sure it's done right. Numbers (distributors and sales) will drive the share price following the release. There is a lot of blue sky after 0.15 and we'll see where the stock goes based on progressive sales (or lack thereof) and other deals that could materialize throughout the year.

June 2018 - just looked up past press releases on OTCMarkets...

Keep rockin' it. You probably have some manageable expansion opportunities to Madison and Fox Cities/GB that could make you a very strong regional player. I'd probably be calling you about that driver/sales job if I was in the MKE area...

GLTA - the Annual Report and Q1 numbers are going to open some people's eyes.
