The slotting fees are confidential and so please share how you know slotting fees, profit margins, how many products are replenished in what amounts, what products are discontinued, and anything else you can share.
That sounds like inside information. How in the world would you know that fine detail? Things that make you go hum.
The shorts are definitely on this with Clay and the videos. Just when things were great.
3000 CVS' that wanted a dog product just for a slotting fee? Lol.
CVS 3000 Stores Xing Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Do you mean these additional points of "lack of execution":
1. Brent reduced Coco Libre cost of goods by 30%
2. Finished the year at 31.7% gross margin and already at the lower end of
2018 projections of 35% gross margin with the reduction in Coco Libre
cost of goods.
3. Re-engineering Bucha and increasing gross margin to 34% from 16%
while tripling sales since Bucha was brought on board?
4. Selling 10 cases a month of the new Marley Mate to 7 Eleven stores
which is 3 times the sales of energy drinks in said stores?
5. Creating four new divisions in the company: Food Service,
International, E-Commerce and Health Science while developing a
relationship with dot foods to get access to every pharmacy and
hospital in the country?
6. Added 60,000 new points of distribution in the September-November
period?
Sounds like "lack of execution" is part of the fake news crew at CNN.
Interesting to see that Vanguard Group has increased their position as of the last reporting period and has over 600k shares in NBEV:

Substantial info at this CC. See you at $7 plus some time this year.
Look Coke has a laxative version of Coke! Now that's the jumping the shark version of Coke products. Unhinged always talks about dog water, well this one has it way beat! Coke may market the drink as a pre-colonostomy drink lmao https://www.wsj.com/articles/things-go-better-with-coke-laxative-edition-1515354223
It's so silly of NBEV to try to help people, build good will, and get positive publicity. What a foreign concept!
No sarcasm here. Brent Willis is making a positive contribution to a very real problem. There is nothing negative about donating money to a good cause because that's how a company builds good will and great publicity. I don't care about ecigs, that's the past and the market is about moving forward. Brent Willis isn't stuck in the past, he's progressively moving forward and getting this company noticed. It's laughable to compare this company to an Ecig company as it's totally off base and obtuse.
Loading up additional shares at the bottom. Iceman from Twitter alerted the daily low set up on the chart and that brought lots of new eyes on this company. Patience is key as the stock price turns upward.
Nestle may need to buy another water company i.e. NBEV to get around nasty drought conditions in California. Aspen Pure is a gold mine. Hey Nestle, pay up now or pay up later!

I wouldn't be surprised if Aspen Pure Probiotic Water gets in Costco and Sam's Club. Costco is selling lots of pro-biotics and a PB water hasn't been introduced yet. Now is the time to strike especially with 40% plus margins built in.
Drinking products with probiotics is a much more efficient delivery system than eating and may help reduce depression. Aspen Pure Pro-biotic water and Bucha is on the cutting edge of delivery with tasty and refreshing formulations:

I think this stock has a big run in 2018. It's the Apple of robotics and will be recognized for it. Prediction, .38 sometime in the first half of the new year.
Brent Willis is not a part of a "conspiracy" to destroy shareholder value. Lmao. The guy is turning around a company in the beverage industry which is in his wheel house. He's opening up new markets for the re-engineered products, the new products, and he has assembled an entire team of professionals to accomplish the marketing of said products. The legacy products, didn't have the support of a competent team. So, let's make it easier to understand, past results aren't a guarantee of future results. The legacy products aren't the same products that are being marketed now. It's very simple and effective. By the way, this is due diligence, and forward looking instead of grasping in the dark past that somehow destroyed someone's psyche.
Brent Willis is a multimillionaire, is only being paid $90k a year, has fixed the share structure to eliminate warrants and made a clean cap structure. I'm afraid you lack evidence of malfeasance. In fact, if that is malfeasance, I would prefer much more of it.
So the objective fact that Willis has reduced COG's in a disciplined, swift manner, dramatically improved operations, new products, enhanced products, and better for you products than the competition, visa-vis no corn syrup, artificial colors/flavors, is a bad thing to you? Run4cover, please read the book I suggested. Such a shame that there is so much blind hate for Willis. He graduated from West Point, one of the premiere institutions in this country, that must be the source of the jealousy.
Ok, was in Aruba, and I think I saw Bob?
Willis is working up to 20 hour days righting the NBEV ship and creating a very good environment for the employees with potential of a nice payoff in stock appreciation. Willis himself is taking a reasonable salary, I think around $90k, for this obvious labor of love. His passion, and very positive results are ticking off his detractors for some odd reason. Willis obviously has the upper hand over them and will over deliver.
Terry must have had the wool pulled over his eyes? No way would someone that talented work for NBEV? I'm sure my good friend on the other side of the aisle would say that he was fed the made up "dog water". (all tongue in cheek lol).
I don't think changing Coco Libre from a concentrate to 100 coco water, or reducing the cog of the product 30% is "snake oil"; it's objective fact. Willis has a dream team of beverage employees working for the company that are changing the fortunes of all involved: employees and stockholders. Remember when you told us you were shorting at .40 and the stock blasted over $7? You got hurt bad but we warned you as we banked huge. Remember, son, that when the price is low, you cover and switch to long. Better do it soon. The paper trading is a great idea and I'm glad you are banking with that very safe strategy. Now before I forget, here is a book you need to read to help you understand business strategies. If you need more suggestions, let me know. I'm always glad to help you:

Seriously, I don't think you understand what Willis is doing. He's taking a Yugo and turning it into a Mustang in terms of improving the products, strategies etc. Do you understand now? Ok good luck paper trading.
Let's review the term re-engineering. Here's a book you should order:
http://www.springer.com/us/book/9781447140160
It will put the process in very simple terms so that you will understand. Remember, the definition of insanity is thinking/doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I suspect your thinking process is mixed up and can't differentiate the old legacy products and marketing mix vs how NBEV has changed the variables in it's marketing mix and production/cost structure. Brent Willis graduated from West Point and graduated with an MBA from the University of Chicago. He is employing advanced business skills to successfully change the strategic direction and sales results of his product and marketing mix. Legacy products and their strategic management and marketing were at bear skin and stone knives level before Brent Willis joined the company as the CEO.
Obviously, the re-engineering of beclomethosone, was too complicated an analogy to present. That's my fault for overestimating an adversary.
Son, you haven't done your homework. Distributors didn't know who NBEV was, or their products. That's not the case anymore as there is a new team in place. The legacy products, prior re-engineering, were mismanaged. Brent Willis has just recently reduced the cost of goods sold by 30% on CL, and he is putting out new products with CL and the source coco water. You seem to be making the novice mistake of thinking that a product can't be re-engineered and made to the consumer's tastes and preferences. Son, it's called the marketing concept! Coco Libre has been significantly improved in the consumer's eyes by becoming 100% coco water and not concentrate. Reorder rates improve when product quality increases, the distribution is enhanced, the product marketing is better. You don't really understand this company. They have hired an entire marketing team that wasn't in place with the legacy products. This is a sharp team and a hard working team. It's apparent that wasn't the case before Brent Willis took the role of CEO. Replenishment rates have only one way to go and that is up with this stellar team in place.
No, taking brands, re-engineering them and delivering results. I take it that you don't understand Bucha has 300% growth internationally? Oh, and the 9 month shelf life provides a huge competitive advantage. No, these products are the new and enhanced versions of their predecessors. Have you ever studied business and companies that re-engineer products to great success? Here's an example, go look it up and learn: beclomethasone was a generic product and one that was losing prescriptions dues to new products coming out in the marketplace with perceived great efficacy, less side effects etc, but 3M took beclomethasone, invented a new delivery system, HFA and put out a product called QVAR. Initially, providers balked at the idea of using old beclomethosone for many reasons, but patients had great results utilizing said new product. Now QVAR is a nice money maker. Son, that's what Brent Willis is doing for these so called dog products you refer too. Now watch NBEV products soar as the market discovers some of the re-engineered products and the new products with superior formulations e.g. PediaAde.
Interesting that Brent Willis named his daughter Coco. He has a daily reminder of his product as well lol. I suspect big things for the Coco Libre brand in 2018.
NBEV is a progressive company with a social mission to improve the lives of many around the world with natural, organic drinks. There is no malice in re-engineering brands that need improvement? Why would anyone look negatively upon upgrading older brands with exciting new entries? Let me share with you a new enhancement, Cocoa Libre sparkling water with new fruit flavors. Son, instead of making coconut waters with flavors in them, they moved up to the carbonated water category to compete against FIZZ and their abysmal, tasteless seltzer waters. A nice new area to steal share from the pretty cans but bland seltzers.
Then, NBEV takes their source of coco water and uses it as the base for new, super hit to come, PediaAde. Stop looking at the world from a flat earth perspective and open your point of view to the new, polished NBEV world of Brent Willis.
The timeline indicates a settlement is going to occur. This won't be an overhang for long:

NBEV presenting at the prestigious ICR Conference January 8:

NBEV's water business is growing 30% annually for the past 5 years! An article from last year.
https://www.denverpost.com/2015/01/02/western-water-miners-turn-on-the-taps-for-fine-bottled-agua/
Aspen Pure has been bottling water from an aquifer beneath the San Luis Valley in Alamosa for 12 years. The company’s 15 Alamosa employees also bottle for private labels, which make up the largest segment of the bottled water market.
Aspen Pure, which is owned by New Age Beverage, has logged 30 percent annual growth for the past five years, vice president of sales Rob Curtis said.
The key to battling Nestle’s Pure Life and Arrowhead, PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani is to find a niche, Curtis said. Aspen Pure’s bottle is larger — 24 ounces — and fits in a bike’s water bottle cage and car cupholders. Aspen Pure water is sold at Denver International Airport and at Whole Foods stores in Colorado and neighboring states.
“It’s always a struggle to work against those guys with the deep, deep pockets. We try to keep a local appeal,” Curtis said. “It’s a growing, competitive market. It seems like these days, everyone wants to start a bottled water company. You see people pop up, and they are gone in a year.”
Shhh...don't confuse Ignatius J. Reilly with the facts!!!!
NBEV is mainstreaming the consumption of kom bucha by making it palatable. That's the point. The competition has big disgusting looking globs in it with the taste of spoiled vinegar. No, you do the research pal. NBEV is using pure cane sugar and not very much of it as a 16 ounce bottle of Bucha has 94 calories. So you get the probiotics, with a reasonable amount of cane sugar, not artifical sweeteners with a great fruity taste. Now, the other kom buchas will remain niche small time players, and have a limited market as Bucha corners the market. People are discovering the superior taste along with the healthy benefits. The clerk at my supermarket tells me people are buying Bucha because of the superior taste. Do some research Russ.
NBEV using probiotics in its products. Very beneficial for gi tract even on antibiotics:

New Age Beverages Corporation CEO Brent Willis making a difference
https://www.inc.com/joel-comm/9-executives-making-a-difference.html
There are so many moments lately when it feels like the world is torn: there are natural disasters, political crises, major human rights violations, and more. Businesses and banks are in the news for being corrupt and leaders are accused of horrible actions against employees. Despite all this, there are many leaders who are doing good for the world and growing their companies in ways that are commendable and inspiring. Here are 9 individuals who have devoted their business and their brands to changing the world. These innovators serve as an inspiration and model for how all business can give and make a difference. It's time to measure profits differently and consider people and the planet just as much as the bottom line.
7. Brent Willis
CEO of New Age Beverage Corporation based in Denver, CO, Brent Willis not only seeks to bring all-natural and organic healthy beverages to consumers, but he literally puts his money where his mouth is in living out this commitment. Among the beverage offerings in the New Age product line which include teas, energy drinks, coconut waters and more is the WATERisLIFE.com brand pH balanced water, of which 100% of the profits from sales are donated directly to end the world water crisis. The bottles clearly states, "You hydrate, we donate."
Just bought 3 cases of Xing: Pomegranate, Blueberry, and Mango for 9.99 a case & free shipping. Always wanted to try them.
I ordered a 12 pack with free shipping from NBEV. Bucha is great stuff and it makes me feel good. Too bad Mr. Negativity can't drop his anger from his previous failed investments. NBEV products are being re-engineered and not the crap that they bought on the very cheap by the way. Bucha has huge competitive advantages vs the competition since it's 9 months shelf stable and doesn't require refrigeration. The Coco Libre is no longer a concentrate but sourced from Vietnam 100% coco water with new carbonated flavors too. Fizz is going to lose some share when these new CL carbonated waters come out. PediaAde is a huge improvement on its competition. Marley Mate is a re-engineered product that tastes much smoother and delicious vs the competition. Building a business takes time and remember this was a .19 stock for a long time. Now that Willis is here, it's going way up. In fact, I would strongly recommend buying this stock now as it's way undervalued and near its lows. Remember, buy low...the old adage???????
