Looks like the 2 day dead cat bounce is drying up here and buyers buying in the mid .002s maybe getting ready to unload on the mid .003s.
I am going to bring my sells to .003 and take losses for the first time.So I can put my money somewhere to make me money.
This absolute Dog Eric has not plans for any good deed for anyone.
And PPS talks volumes about that.I maybe even hit the bids with million soon and get out.Because maybe if I am out he will make it go up.lol.Knowing what a Snake he is,I am sure he will do that.
OMG-1,715,482,208 O/S COUNT, DEFINITE DILUTION HERE.
This company appears to be so shady, I have never read so much hype about a company that has been constantly struggling. After reading all the hype about winning colours stain remover, I decided to go ahead and locate the product and use it. Which brought me to the first issue that I discovered with this company which is exaggerating their progress, i.e. exaggerating about how many stores actually carry the product. How do I know? Well, I used their store locator on their website and I called 6 random Piggly Wiggly stores, asked about the product (which they had never heard of) was put on hold for 5 minutes while they searched for the winning colours item only to have them return to the phone telling me that they do not carry the product (I almost gave up but finally the 6th store I called carried it). After using it, I found the product to only partially remove some of the set-in stains but more importantly it had an unbearable odor, even after diluted (I find it hard to believe that it truly is environmentally friendly). I could not use it for more than a few minutes without feelings of nausea and headache. Let's face it, if this product was so fantastic it would not take 4 years for people to like it enough to spread the word about it and it would have taken off by now. People in Canada are not so different than the U.S. Hopefully this keeps the balance to all the people trying to convince others that this is the next new revolutionary stain remover.
Isn't it just so heart warming to read about Eric's blog addressing shareholders concerns? It's even more amazing that he continuously dodges shareholders issues with his lofty $120,000.00 salary. Looks like we are getting closer and closer to two billion shares outstanding. Can you say massive dilution?
Is it just me or does it seem very telling about the likelihood of Winning Colours having a full roleout into US national retailers anytime soon if one of their major connections, Steve Fantus, decided to pull the plug on it? I remember when everyone was raving about how Steve Fantus was going to get Winning Colours onto US national retailers shelves and in the news release he was quoted saying that Winning Colours has what it takes to get there. Looks like he changed his mind. Fascinating that Eric's blogs are stating that they are closer than ever to getting into major stores and yet Steve Fantus decides to pack it up and leave. If they really were on the brink of a major roleout wouldn't Steve Fantus have known this and stuck around for his big payday? Something doesn't smell right here. How many more major employees of this company are we going to hear about walking away?
This is a part of the blog about Steve Fantus leaving:
Steve Fantus has been associated with Winning Brands during 2010 as a Key Account Manager. His primary responsibility in this role was to present Winning Colours Stain Remover to new account prospects and maintain dialogue with the buyers of targeted retailers. Steve was performing this function on a part-time, performance based compensation model. A traditional, full-time position opportunity has emerged for Steve with a non-competitive consumer product company, completely unrelated to cleaning. He has our blessing to accept this position as a solid career move. We have thus been cooperating to ensure the orderly transfer of his prospecting activity to our team, with a new member to take over some of Steve’s former responsibilities.
Hey Solarflux2,
Bottom line is sales, why are the sales so pathetic after 4 years? Give me a break! Heard the same thing about Kind getting into a store a couple of years ago and never heard anything about it again. What makes you think this is going to be any different this time?
1,618,371,097 SHARES OUTSTANDING IS ENOUGH DILUTION TO ME FOR all of Winning Brands expenses and THEY HAVE A/S 5 billion .
Appears that the WNBD Pump and Dump has run its course and the 504 dilution may commence. I suspect the 3:59 painters will come out and try to prop this POS up again as usual.
Even dead cat bounces can make people money but usually can fall back down fairly quickly. Anybody that reads the press releases that this company puts out can see that this company appears to have many failed or delayed initiatives such as DRTV, QVC, Trackmoist, Reguard, Kind, Clean 1, Military, Orgill, ISK, Walmart, Piggly Wiggly, C-store, Mexico, Germany, China and the list goes on. And what this in itself tells me is that this company is struggling and continually tries to bite off more than it can chew, on the shareholders dime.
This is also worth repeating. On top of the CEO paying himself $120,000.00 salary for a company that only made around $500k last year it tells me the CEO is greedy and for those few newbies who may be wondering what some of the reasons are for the long slow drop in share price it may have something to do with the inconsistancies loyals have been discovering about this company such as the stores that were listed on the store locator that were not actually carrying their products, you can try calling some of them for yourself. Also possibly losing WALMART seems like it turned a lot of investors off and I find it incredibly misleading to see that the WNBD I-Box on here still has "320 CANADIAN WALMARTS" under the heading "IT'S ON THE SHELF" <----mods , when I thought 1. Winning Colours never really was in all of the Walmarts there and 2. That the Walmarts that did carry the product supposedly clearanced out all of the Winning Colours and no longer have any of it on the shelf, have not placed any new reorders, and that their relationship with Winning Brands is up in the air waiting on further negotiations according to this memo below and again mentioned in one of the last CEO CC. How many other Canadian national retailers only carry it in a small percentage of their stores but have all of them listed on the store locator? In my opinion, this WALMART debacle with all the other failed or delayed follow-throughs has shaken the shareholders confidence to the point of giving up on this company that so far has only been pulling in dismal sales and high deficits. And ask yourself as you read through the long lists of initiatives that are on their corporate website, what the heck ever happened to those plans? Why did they let go of/ or did the Walmart VP at Winning Brands leave recently?

Hello Moderator Team -
Walmart Canada originally placed Winning Colours into approximately half of their stores on a trial basis. That trial period continued to be extended because Winning Colours demonstrated improving turnover on a period-over-period basis, and in almost all participating stores – from a standing start. In other words, we went from zero to eventually having thousands of Walmart shoppers purchasing Winning Colours at this banner, and asking for it by name. All the trend lines are positive. The buyer who was originally in charge indicated the desire to expand Winning Colours into all stores because of these positive leading indicators. A new buyer is now in charge, and has proposed new rules for the listing, including price adjustments and operational concessions. If we agree to these, it would prevent us from being even-handed with other Canadian national retailers (because the proposed concessions would not be sustainable across all accounts) and thus create a downward spiral. My position is that I would rather withdraw from a single account than undermine an established and accepted pricing/operational protocol that is satisfactory to everyone else. Accordingly, a meeting date has been established for later in July at which these issues of principle will be discussed in the context of a formal review. It would not be in anyone’s interest if a single buyer were to set policy for this brand for North America. I must therefore accept the possibility that conditions will emerge that will not be considered mutually beneficial. There has been no material development at this time that requires a News Release. I am merely confirming for the record that Winning Brands has a portfolio of retail partners, large and small, and has a commitment to its future success across many categories of trade with partners who are able to accept a common understanding of our mutual needs. This, as a matter of policy, requires the ability to charge fair prices, operate to viable conditions and retain sufficient authority over one’s own brand that the company is never overly reliant upon a single account. The measure of the value and wellbeing of a company is not only in what is says yes to, but also in what it is prepared to say no to.
You are also correct in stating that the “paint section” is just one of several in which we have a natural home (such as the Cleaning Department, Automotive Department, Pet Supplies, etc.) These departments are managed by professionals with their own specific business plans, within a larger context of factors at work within the retailer (and any large retailer) as a whole.
Bottom line: Still a dynamic situation that contains the seeds of change, but is not formalized to us (or by us) in writing, one way or another, at the present.

Before you dump any money into this, I suggest you read some of my own experiences with this company and its product. This post will hopefully balance out some of the hype that you may have read on here. First of all, I would suggest getting some Winning Colours Stain Remover and trying it, if you haven't already. After trying it, ask yourself, will this really catch on and become a household name? And wouldn't this have caught on in Canada after several years of being in Canadian retailers? Of course everyones experiences may vary, but I personally found this product inferior to other stain removers in the sense that cleaning stains was average to below average on fresh stains and below average on set-in stains and the strong pungant odor would turn many off. Most people would choose a common brand that they have known, used, and trust over an unknown brand. Now many will argue that it's unique and versatile because it also removes paint, they will say that it removes paint from clothes or carpet but I would argue most people I know wear their grubby clothes that they don't care about getting paint on, and they use drop cloths to protect their carpet. At first glance I was impressed with their high store count but when I began calling the stores listed on the store locator and learning that many of those stores did not actually carry the product, I became very suspicious of this company's dealings and lost some trust in the CEO. If one takes the time to read the press releases on their website you could easily find many initiatives that sounded very promising as if they were about to become an international sensation but appears now that months or years later these initiatives failed to execute, got delayed, or were unsuccessful and not brought up again. Keep in mind that there is almost 1.6 billion shares outstanding and the company clearly states that they will need to continue to raise money to keep this company going. The last thing I'd like to add is that there total sales last year was very dismal around $500k but the CEO (Eric) has no problem paying himself $120,000.00 while shareholders are watching their stock drop and continue to be deluded.
You have been posting that exact same sentinment about WNBD potential for several years now. Seems to always be just about to take off now.LOL
Enjoy your thanksgiving and I will have my Wisk , Tide with Stain Lift technology, or shout handy incase any of the cranberry sauce gets on the guests or my floor. They would head for the door if they smelled the Wining Colours stain remover and I doubt it would get the job done.
Did this stock just bounce because this company rocks or is it because a few technical traders and momo's players briefly popped in because they see a continually dropping stock with bounce potential and are looking for a quick flip? Is this pathetic volume indicative of a solid move, I dont think so. House of cards usually end up falling at some time. Most of these past WNBD pops have ended after a few days and its already been a few. But hey, thats just my opinion.
Okay here are some of my new fresh thoughts for you. It appears the little WNBD annual pump and dump dead cat bounce run that started a few days ago has run its course and the few posters that have been methodically spamming the boards to get this to move have had little effect. Now please pass me that gravy.
Misleading shareholders in any way and diluting their stock into the ground is very much the company's fault. How many initiatves did they put out a press release on that made it sound like this company was going to take off that completely ended up flopping or stalling out. DRTV, Army, Military, C-store, ISK, Trackmoist, Piggly Wiggly, Canada Walmart, Smart Wet Cleaning, Mexico, N Korea, Germany, China, India and the list goes on. Have you really even tried the product? Their "lead" product, I cant believe that there are too many people that actually believe this product really is eco-friendly and that it actually works on very many stains. It doesnt take a genious to bring a bottle home and find out it that it wont take out set in stains very well and that the order is very unpleasant.
Here is your hard working dedicated Winning Colours money making machine team -minus of course their National Sales Manager Patricia Miles that has since left the company.
For those few newbies who may be wondering what some of the reasons are for the long slow drop in share price it may have something to do with the inconsistancies loyals have been discovering about this company such as the stores that were listed on the store locator that were not actually carrying their products, you can try calling some of them for yourself.

WNBD is like a Volcano ready for explosion.Once we break the .0045
we will be moving in the .005 and .006 areas Imo.Then .01 within two months range Imo.
Whatever you say TAKI..But I doubt it even with all the hype on the other message boards from a few new buyers the last few days and a few loyals propping this up , the dilution and bored day-traders will bring this back to where it belongs.
O/S count MORE THAN DOUBLED in a few years from around 750M TO 1.6 BILLION NOW give us a break. Another double and you will be at 3.2 BILLION shares.
These runs are getting weaker and weaker and I wouldn't be surprised to see the stock head back down tomorow. We have seen these little pops before that fizzle out and go lower after a few days and this is the 3rd day of the "big run". Good luck to the newbies here. Some learn the hard way. Congrats to those that bought in the .002s and are unloading them now.
What makes you think most of the selling is done when they have a fresh 504 to sell more shares for needed funds?

Cool your jets there Provencial, they are only in 3, that's right, only 3 Lowe's stores in the U.S., and it took a long time to get into those three stores. Their revenue was less than $120k this quarter (you can see Financials for the exact number). In my opinion, this current movement in the price per share is just a classic pump and dump and people snatching up shares in the .002s will be dumping on the people buying in the .004s.
Whatever you say,
since early 2008, the last time it had a massive run
Good grief!
With all those supposed stores (btw they misrepresent numbers and they count national retailer stores that they aren't even in) then why were sales only around a pathetic $500k for all last year? That tells me all I need to know about how poorly this sells there after several years.
Some stains that haven't come out for me after drying on clothes: chocolate, juice, wine, mustard, nail polish and several unknown stains.
Aren't you failing to mention all the stores that has since dropped WC and the initiatives that fell to the waste side?
I have read the same exact statements from people at .014, .01, .009, .008, .007, .006, .005, .004 etc, and it appears that the same few people are buying up and propping up the price at the end of each day here. So in the end the sales numbers tomorrow will speak for itself and all the fluffy warm feel good blogs by CEO (ERIC) wont matter.
Drew ,
Thanks for the PM. Hint: try Winning Colours on stains that have dried to see what I was referring to. Not everyone catches or has time to wash a stain out immediately. I found it did a poor job on these dried stains. I would not recommend this product to someone else and don't think a lot of others would either and suspect that that may be the reason this hasn't caught on.
GOOD JOB TAKI KEEP PAYING ERIC HIS $120,000.00 SALARY. YUP-I WONT BE SURPRISED TO SEE MANY DUMP ON THE NEWBIES COMING INTO THIS. MAYBE YOU CAN JUST WAIT AND HOPE TO GET THE .000S WITH THE 504 SELLING AND TAX LOSS SELLERS.
TAKI- YOU CAN THANK THE CRAPPY WINNING BRANDS TEAM AND THE CRAPPY PRODUCT FOR THE CRAPPY SHARE PRICE. AFTER BEING AROUND FOR SEVERAL YEARS IN CANADA THE CRAPPY SALES SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
1,618,371,097 SHARES OUTSTANDING IS ENOUGH DILUTION TO ME FOR all of Winning Brands expenses and THEY HAVE A/S 5 billion .
Bottom line is that it either is considered non-toxic or it isn't and if it was not non-toxic at that time it should never has been represented as such in a press release. Period. Could you provide any proof that it is non-toxic? This is more about being honest than anything else.
Drew,
This CEO (Eric) sure is an honest fellow. It doesn't take long to do a little digging and find where the CEO could be misrepresenting and misleading people. After you raised some good questions about the eco friendly qualities of this product, I quickly found some statements that were made that bring CEO (Eric's) character into question.
These specific statements may or may not be true; but if they are not true and are an attempt to mislead or misrepresent the product's qualities to shareholders, it should be reviewed by an investigator for misrepresentation, along with the misleading claims of the actual store count in public press releases.
He states right here in this public news release that Winning Colours is non-toxic. So either it was really non-toxic at one time, he was lying, the standards in 2006 were significantly lower and didn't require specific safety labeling, or in their efforts to improve the effectiveness of the product in recent years the new improved formula was actually made less safe and therefore now prevents the use of a non-toxic label. Of course this is just my observation and opinion. By the way, whatever happened to their China Export? Or, was that bogus, too?
Winning Colours is a non-toxic solvent and cleaner that is being noticed in North American markets for its unique balance of performance and earth friendliness.
Again you guys make it sound like there's this huge market for people who get paint on their clothing and are out lining up to buy a paint remover; but most people I know put on their grubby clothes to paint and don't care about ever cleaning them up afterwards. And to protect their carpet and walls, they use drop cloths and tape. By the way, acrylic paint which is a much more commonly used paint often cleans up with just soap and water.
So what's your point? Didn't CEO(Eric) try and get the city clean up crews to buy WCSR over a year ago? We haven't heard much about that again. Didn't he try and get the military to buy it? How about Nascar? Orgil? ISK? Walmart? ABC's Extreme Makeover? Piggly Wiggly? National DRTV Audience? Doesn't the hype ever get old? If the product worked as well as it claims, common sense would say that it would have caught on by now and not need this much life support. The problem is is that it doesn't live up to all of its claims and that it's not the world's most versatile cleaner and still leaves many different set in stains on things even after repeated use following the directions.
Hey Drew,
Did you happen to see the 3 new Winning Colours videos that were posted briefly on here Thursday showing that the product did not live up to all of its claims? It really put people into a tizzy.
Holly Molly! All hear this! Major operations about to commence on those 3 stores. How many more different blogs can Eric write about for those 3 Lowes stores? High alert they are commencing training- blow the horns -sound the alarms! Its too bad paint season is over in Ohio. It was well worth the long wait to get into three test stores.
