You are apparently real busy....
LOL
Good afterhours ann. out folks. Enjoy!
Thanks for that. At least we got a nice, green day on UNIS today!
PWRM seems to have stablized, at least for the time being.
I can't believe people are complaining about all the PRs. Good God, most investors in most companies complain that they have no friggin' idea what is going on with the company they are invested in. Complaints like that are the norm.
Too many PRs? While some are fluffy, the main reason there are so many PRs is because this company is going through warp speed transitions. I personally cannot believe all the things Danny manages to do in a week. I think there are really 3 clones of Danny. I marvel at the guy's energy. Whatever it is, he should bottle it and sell it.
I'm thankful for any PR. Most penny investors have to deal with all kinds of garbage being hidden by the CEO. Those companies are easy to find if you can't stand Danny's regular updates.
New Bravada logo is on the Muscle Flex site. Check it out - about 1/2 down the page (not the one at the top of the page). New one is in orange font. Looks good.
Thanks for reporting an update with Ameritrade. Etrade still has not converted yet, either. I was told last Thursday it would be a couple more days.
Let us know when Ameritrade gets your shares. I'm going to call Etrade again when I get a chance to.
That's a very good find. Erin was as you'll recall hired as a regular employee last fall. She was if I recall the Creative Director or something like that - she had an official title.
I do recall it saying on the Muscle Flex site that she had attended Jefferson Community College.
So, maybe not a big loss there.
Couple things - looking more and more like Erin (the blonde) no longer works for Danny. She's not mentioned at all when Danny thanks all those who helped with the show (Amy was mentioned), she's not a "friend" on the TV Show Facebook page (Amy is), he mentioned Amy on the CC but not Erin, and Amy is in the new VATA photos that are previewed, but in place of Erin, there's the hired model.
Not a big deal, but my gut appears to have been right on this. Wonder what happened there.
Also, it was interesting to hear Danny say that the Reality Show was something he planned for 9 months now.
Thanks again to whoever sold me shares for .014 today. 'Preciate It!
Looking forward to hearing Bravo or E! picked up the show (another prediction of mine).
I'll still be 1/2 invested in this through the earnings. Either way, I'll win.
I've already learned my lesson from this: Avoid a Garza pick, and just stick to my own picks and my own DD.
Once in a while, we humans forget the fundamentals....
I've followed some Goldman stock calls - they have been awful from what I have seen. I did see a website that tracked their picks for a bit of a longitudinal study - let's put it this way - I would not touch a Goldman pick after seeing that.
As for Garza, it was a horrible prediction. He compared it to BIEL in his article, saying something to the effect that MCLN's run in the near future could make BIEL's run (from 2009) look like child's play (or words to that effect).
That prediction was months ago - he never hit his .40 short term prediction and given the stock is trading at .022, that was legendary (in a bad way) IMO.
At the time, I got away from my own investment philosophy of investing in my own picks. For that, I learned to just stay with my own predictions - something that has worked very well for me over the years.
I invested a little over $3k in this. Not life-changing, but I don't like to lose.
But, the way I look at it, if you learned a life lesson from your mistake, it's worth far more than the money you may lose on it (assuming you don't lose everything or close to it).
One good investing rule is: has your original investment thesis changed? If so, it might be time to reevaluate it.
All I can say is mine has. If I could roll back the clock to late Nov., I would not have invested in MCLN. But then again, it was a lesson I had to get reinforced - just stick with my own stock picks and avoid the "noise" (which is a nice way of putting it).

Stratey - I appreciate a contrarian point of view so long as the person backs up their bashing with specific points - which you have been doing.
I can be pretty critical at bonehead management moves.
But, in this case, those who sold off simply b/c of the name change have it wrong IMO.
I understand the concern. Name changes with pennies freak people out. Name changes often accompany monkey business.
But in this case, it's a clear 1:1 swap and the name change is actually good news. It means Danny has a bigger vision of the company - something beyond just selling imported plastic junk from China.
The old Muscle Flex was never going to hit .30 a share selling the Buddy Tablet and the pedometer.
The company now has more potential than it did when it hit .049 last September.
Notice I do say 'potential'. This is a risky play, no doubt, if the show is a hit, this will hit pay dirt for those who got in around these prices.
For a trader like me, it's a dream stock - lots of updates from the company, plenty of bashers, plenty of pumpers.
The name chanage was not nefarious. It was with good intentions and it was a good business decision. When the stock is back in the .02s, does that mean the market was stupid? Well, I think it just means the name change spooked a lot of people.
Who does more damage? A director/ manager who sells or your alleged bashers? From what I've seen here, those who you think are bashers are current holders of the stock and are those who have presented some sound arguments.
Always a conspiracy theory...."they" are out to get us...seems to me like you can include insiders in that group. They have proven to sell - it's in black and white.
just my opinions
Pardon me while I pat myself on the back for buying more at .0145.
Chart showed we had to go back down to there. History will repeat itself - there will be another run...only question is when.
Those who sold to me will be angry all over again. It's not my birthday, but thanks for the gift anyway.
Anyone ever hear about how big Skymark's email list is?
Common sense here. If those insiders who sold really knew the stock would be .14 in a month, why wouldn't they have waited to sell?
And don't tell me it's b/c they needed the cash. These guys aren't so hard up that they can't wait 1-2 months.
This is dead money and russian roulette. If there is nothing positive in the earnings, you're looking at subpennies.
just my opinions (but I have been known to be right more often than not)
Noel is removing comments that call it like it is from his blog. Be careful trying to get the truth from over there if divergent opinions are being removed.
I very well in the market year after year. You think this is the only stock out there? There are other stocks that will do better than MCLN in my opinion.
your name "newbie" says it all.
And I wish I could just dump this stock...
Which I will if the price goes up a little more.
Garza at BioMedReports.com lost a ton of credibility on this one. I wouldn't pay that outfit a dime, especially after Hravilla isn't as involved with it anymore.
I've got a sell order in for 1/2 my amount at a slightly higher price. Too many other good opportunities and I've sat on this too long
Never again will I jump on a Garza stock.
just my opinions
Looks like this is going to dip below .02 for the first time since July. I can't believe anyone would continue to follow Joe Noel's stock recommendations. They are almost lethal.
I'm guessing that since the FDA recommended a PMA, they will not approve a 510k. BIEL is grasping at straws IMO. FDA would have IMO approved the 510k by now.
I think Whelan blew this.
PMAs can take up to 4 to 5 years I have heard.
I've been in BIEL since July - never shorted (I can't anyway with my online brokerages)
Just my opinions.
The CEO said in the conference call that IF sales were going extremely well, they may decide not to break from the infomercial. Go back and listen if necessary.
So, 'going dark' is just them doing what they expected to. In other words, they did not blow the barn door off with sales this week. If they did, they said they might not go dark.
This is not bad news, it just is not exceedingly good news.
This selloff doesn't seem odd to me at all as long as TSHO holds in this area.
The stock was trading for quite awhile around .70-.80. Then we had a big runup. Then a resulting selloff when people took profits.
Happens all the time with pennies. Those who bought at $1.40 on up got hurt. You don't buy at a peak. Those who bought at these levels might do well. Only time will tell.
But another stock I own did the same thing. And the CEO ran around screaming foul. Hey, in pennyland, there's spikes and selloffs.
I see it all the time. The people that scream bloody murder are those who probably bought at a peak.
I don't know much about StreetSweeper or Timmy Sykes - only heard of both of them recently. When I first went to StreetSweeper's site to check out Davis' article, I couldn't remember where I had heard of them before. Then I remembered Dean, the CEO of IMGG talked about them in his CC.
It isn't clear to me what Sykes has to do with all this. All I know about Sykes is he already got into a pizzing match with Garza over at BioMedReports - so I figure "stuff" must follow him.
Where did TSHO say sales were going well?
What would be their case? Unless they can prove that StreetSweeper blatantly lied in their article, exactly what case would any court hear? Investors sold their profits - happens every day in the markets when a stock is overbought.
The stock had a huge run and people took profits. Unless they can prove that StreetSweeper was lying or out to short this stock by writing a scathing article, they don't have a case that any US court would hear.
On StreetSweeper's site, I see lots of articles ripping companies. If they got sued every time they did, they wouldn't be in business.
I read that StreetSweeper said bad things about IMGG, too. So what? IMGG didn't like it either, but they said in a conference call there was nothing you can do about it. Translation - they didn't lie apparantly.
Sounds like people are looking for a scapegoat to me.
I don't disagree that this stock might run back to previous highs. And I don't disagree that this might be a good time to top up.
But sooner or later, Danny will have to produce strong earnings if we will get rich off this.
It will eventually all come down to earnings. It does with every company.
I own the stock. I'm not negative spinning anything.
If you don't understand what Wall Street really wants in a stock and how they value companies, get some good books on the subject.
It ALL comes down to earnings estimates. Period, end of story. Cupcake parties don't cut it.
The stock was way overpriced at $1.60 - it's that simple. They have not even reported sales figures and won't for some time.
I'm not trashing TSHO - just saying it really was too easy for shorts to take money from those who bought at $1.50 upwards.
Pennies don't just keep shooting up day after day. There is something called gravity on this planet.
Ya, it's been healthy if you sold out at $1.60 and bought back in at .80 perhaps. Other than that, you can't say it's healthy. This is not consolidation - it has been cut in 1/2 in a few trading days.
Probably hit near a bottom now. Memo to Timmy Boy: move on to your next stock now.
Do you even know how many Squeegee sales would be necessary to support a $2 share price for TSHO at this time?
"It should be $2 right now??"
Someone please call in a math tutor. Unreal.
You keep mentioning the KK launch party. You've got to be kidding if you think that is going to drive this stock. The market already knows KK is involved with the fitness line.
If Danny announces next month that a decent network picked up the reality show and the stock doesn't move at all toward the upside, then we could be looking at a disappointing share price for quite a while.
Danny pulled out all his guns with the promotional stock services...and that drove the stock for a brief week or two. But now the market wants to see a strong balance sheet - i.e. earnings.
In the end, all that matters is earnings.
I might top up a little, but it won't be much.
Also, you keep posting that the "sold out" message on some of the VATA items prove the items are selling well. But Danny said in his CC that "sold out" means the manufacturer is sold out of that item! That per se doesn't prove the Muscle Flex VATA is selling all of them out. There are other distributors for VATA.
Don't hold your breath.
I saw a catfight between BioMedReports.com and Timothy Sykes play out a few weeks ago, with BioMedReports' Garza threatening legal action against Timmy.
I don't know much about Sykes, but the dude does apparently raise some hackles all over the place.
I don't know about anyone else, but almost all the pennies I own are getting beaten up pretty good the last couple days.
People can argue back and forth what the eventual stock price will or won't be. That's all speculation - and it is with EVERY company.
But, what is screaming the loudest is TSHO's and Skymark's lack of response to StreetSweeper's article.
What exactly are you claiming StreetSweeper is lying about? Because the article is pretty compelling.
Seems to me if Davis was blatantly wrong about anything in print, the opposing party would challenge her. Why wouldn't you if you were them and she was printing falsehoods?
Etrade update on UNIS -- they told me today they expect it will just be another couple days before our old UNIFF shares are finally available as UNIS shares. They said the foreign agent still had not delivered them UNIS shares.
Your post is LOL. $40?
Looks like Street Sweeper has a lot of "stuff" on the Skymark / TSHO relationship.
I was always skeptical of Skymark. If TSHO had not released its product, I would be out.
I'm doing buying any more of this. Should have listened to my gut on this one. I sold my shares at a profit a few weeks back then bought some back again.
Thankfully I'm not in too deep with this one.
This lawsuit is terribe news - the worst stock to be in IMO is a litigation stock - I speak from experience. The courts tie up litigation in some cases for years.
If I was at break even I would bail, but I'm stuck in this at a .10 break even.
just my opinions.
