Hey there Kathryn! Great seeing you and kittie still hanging around. Best wishes to you both.
Don't forget 'hoping' as well.
Chit does happen kittie. haha I'm not losing any sleep over it. Luckily I sold most of what I had when it was over $1.29 then rebought on the way down like an idiot. After seeing it in stores first hand I had high hopes about it but with the news drying up along with any excitement with it. I have chalked it up to lessons learned. Still browsing for the next big thing. Until then, I am holding tight with my ARIA and TPPH. Huge drops on them from the highs so I bought in with hopes of a jump. Best of luck to you all. Best of luck we get a surprise soon with PLSB.
Well, a nickle on deck. I'm at a loss for words. I had too much faith in Pulse Beverage. Geezer can pat himself on the back. I was called a pumper but I call it being a cheerleader just like they cheer for their team to win I was cheering for Pulse to succeed. It seems it's just another one hit wonder with poor management. It's the last penny stock I own and will be the last one. I've learned too much dos and donts over the past few years. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I now own over $20,000 worth of empty promises which is entirely my fault for ever putting that much into a startup company like Pulse. Best of luck to you all.
I wonder how long you will keep wondering and hoping for something to come out of GRPR other then the obvious fact that it will never drill oil and we will never get our money back from it.....
There are 23 gushers there. At least that's what my fortune cookie said.
Please no! I wrote it all off 2 years ago lol.
The only thing affecting Grid Petroleum from producing oil is the face they don't own a drill. Except maybe the Dewalt drill in the tool box.
Anything is possible. I still don't have access to the drinks anywhere near me and I think until they get them out on the shelves at least in all Walmarts then we sit down here. Surely they are working ok something that we don't know about but they've been very silent lately.
Amen.
Hope it turns around soon John.
This post is soaked in BS. Grid Petroleum is a fake company that hasn't ever owned a drill except for a Dewalt maybe. To say it is real is nothing but a lie.
Yeah that's not good business. I'm afraid this is turning out to be yet another failed startup company. I hate to be negative but Pulse hasn't given us any reason to be positive lately. Still holding and hoping.
Indeed it has Pepe! And will. You're so right.
Definitely a lesson learned from me as well. Just like GRPR. Along with stocks of real companies that I had that went belly up like THQ & ANV. Stocks like those could make you or break you. They broke me. Check out these 2 that I'm hoping for a change. TTPH & ARIA are 2 pharmaceutical stocks that's been beaten down. Fingers crossed on them. Glty
LOL please explain how it's looking promising? Winning the lottery tonight is more promising then GRPR.
Boy I should've waited a few days. This is getting beat to death.
My order went in at $8.127 right as it bounced to $8.35 closed at $8.47. :)
You need to contact your broker and ask to write off the worthless shares of AERN. They will wipe them off as worthless. That way you at least can claim the loss on taxes.
Mine too.
Indeed atlanta1. But that haven't gotten away Scott free. I'm a firm believer in you reap what you sow. They will reap one day.
Mine too but I don't have a value showing up yet. Is that right?
I doubt any broker will sell AERN shares Pepe. Your only bet, IMO, is to do like like I did long ago and write your shares off. They aren't worth a penny. If you have a profit you've made this year on other stocks I'd write AERN off today so you could cancel out some of your profit and save on taxes. Just my opinion of course. Hope you have a happy new year Pepe.
Got lucky I guess. I was shocked when the alert beeped on my phone saying it was executed. I may wish I had waited but my luck has turned around lately so maybe this will too.
I had an order for 10K shares at .0847 and it finally filled. Sure am hoping for a better year for 2016. 2015 was horrible across the entire stock market.
That's one fire I won't try and put out if it does. haha
I sure hope so. I also hope all of you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Maybe, just maybe, 2016 will be a turning point for Pulse Beverage. I said that about 2015 so I'm not holding my breath but I do know I love their Cabana Lemonades. I'm not fond of the Pulse line and haven't had a chance to taste a Coconut water but I'm sure it's good. Best wishes to all!
Care to share your source for that info? I'd like to check it out myself.
Brian D. Corday Joins Pulse's Board And Is Appointed Executive Vice President Of Business Development
DENVER, Dec. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pulse Beverage Corporation ("Pulse") (OTCQX: PLSB), makers of Natural Cabana® Lemonades, Limeades, and Coconut Waters and PULSE® Heart & Body Health functional beverages, announced today that Brian D. Corday has joined Pulse's Board of Directors and is appointed Executive Vice President of Business Development. Mr. Corday has thirty years of experience assisting public companies in the areas of finance and business strategic planning. Mr. Corday has held executive positions at several major Wall Street firms, most recently as Chairman and President of BullBear Ventures, LLC, a private equity firm dedicated to maximizing brand value and building shareholder value through market awareness and strategic acquisitions and joint ventures.
Mr. Corday stated, "I am very excited to join the seasoned beverage veterans of Pulse, a leader in the natural beverage category. The broad-based growing acceptance and solid footing Pulse's brands have received domestically and internationally added with the extensive distribution network Pulse has built; led me to believe Pulse can become a dominant player in the natural beverage category both domestically and internationally. At BullBear we strived to find the 'Next Big Thing' left undiscovered in particular growth markets and I believe Pulse is the Next Big Thing in its category and could reward current and future shareholders. I look forward to being one of the Pulse leaders and working alongside the great management team assembled at Pulse."
Robert E. Yates, commented, "We are pleased to have attracted such a seasoned business executive as Brian Corday. His vast experience will greatly assist us in taking a big step forward to achieving our goals of increasing the value of our brands and our value to our shareholders."
Happy belated Thanksgiving to you and all my friends here as well Kathryn! Great to hear from you as always! Maybe we should ask Santa for a sleigh full of Cabanas and CW! Haha
Agreed 1000% FV! Well said!
You know, I'm disappointed in Pulse's numbers. They keep adding distributors but the numbers don't show an increase. It doesn't matter if you've got every major distributor in the world, if you're not getting shelves in stores stocked then you're not getting product to the consumers! We still don't have it anywhere near where I live. Im not selling but I dang sure ain't buying anymore until I see some positive results. That may mean I buy more at .20, .30 or higher but that's fine. I'm not adding at the current levels. Just my 2 cents.
Pulse Secures Distribution In The States Of Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma And South Dakota Through Mahaska Bottling Company

DENVER, Nov. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pulse Beverage Corporation ("Pulse") (OTCQX: PLSB), makers of Natural Cabana® Lemonades, Limeades, and Coconut Waters and PULSE® Heart & Body Health functional beverages, announced today that it has secured distribution of all Natural Cabana® products through Mahaska Bottling Company, a major beverage brand bottler/distributor based in Iowa. Mahaska's distribution territory covers 157 counties in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and South Dakota, a territory having more than 4 million consumers.
Robert E. Yates, CEO of Pulse, stated, "We are extremely pleased to expand our distribution system through an established, well respected, major beverage brand bottler/distributor. Mahaska will deliver our brands to many new retailers within its large geographic area to include chain stores that we could not previously deliver to making our brands available to more than 4 million additional consumers."
Q3 report out..
Business Highlights - Third Quarter 2015 to Date:
During Q3-2015 Pulse's net loss, after adjustments for depreciation and amortization and one-time charges decreased by 46% to $289,000 (Q3-2014 - $540,000). This decrease was mainly due to a reduction in general and administration expenses.
During Q3-2015 net sales were down $44,000 or 4.2% over Q3-2014. Net sales for all products were $993,000 (Q3-2014 - $1,037,000). Net sales were down due to the switch-over to Pulse's new coconut water which was widely taste-tested and paneled and the consensus of opinion was that it better suits the palette of North American coconut water consumers. The majority of Pulse's existing distributors, and new retail chains secured based on this new coconut water, delayed ordering until Pulse receives this product due in before the end of November. Additionally, the remainder of new accounts secured during Q3-2015 will not order product until early in 2016 so as to kick off new displays in cold sections leading up to the warmer months. Pulse expects net sales to increase as it expands its markets internationally into Mexico, China and Canada.
Overall Pulse has rationalized its overhead to align its expenses to a new strategic way of conducting its business utilizing more warehouse direct distribution and utilizing strong international distributors that distribute, market and promote Pulse's brands in their territories. This reduces the amount of overhead Pulse requires to operate its business estimated to lead to positive cash flow more quickly. Many changes are reflected in Q3-2015 and the remainder will be reflected in Q4-2015.
Beverage companies are often compared on a contribution to fixed expense basis which includes gross profit less variables such as advertising, samples and displays and freight-out. This line item is not GAAP and therefore it is not disclosed separately in our financial statements. During YTD-2015, as a percentage of net sales, contribution to fixed expense increased by 1.6% to 19.8% (YTD-2014 – 18.2%).
Pulse's working capital has remained healthy at $1 million bolstered by an equity injection of $1 million earlier this year. Additionally, on November 6, 2015, Pulse closed on a $3,500,000 senior secured revolving line of credit facility ("Credit Facility"). Under the terms of the agreement, TCA Global Credit Master Fund, L.P. ("Lender") has committed to lend a total of $3,500,000. The initial tranche of $650,000 was funded on November 6, 2015. Following the initial tranche, Pulse must meet specific requirements to gain access to an additional $250,000 being held in escrow and must meet specific monthly collateral requirements to further draw upon the Credit Facility. The initial tranche matures November 6, 2016. The Credit Facility is secured by a senior secured interest in all of Pulse's assets. In connection with the Credit Facility, Pulse was obligated to pay a $150,000 facility fee. As security for this fee Pulse issued 3,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to the Lender who has the right to sell enough shares to recover its fee. Any excess shares not sold will be returned to Pulse for cancellation. Pulse has the right to buy-back these shares by paying $150,000 to the Lender on or before May 6, 2016. Robert E. Yates, CEO of Pulse, stated, "We are delighted to have this revolving Credit Facility to fund our growth plans in 2016."
Pulse introduced Natural Cabana® Lemonade in 2012 and since then has added limeades and coconut waters to the brand in 2014 and developed a multi-national comprehensive distribution system through more than 150 distributors in 47 States, Canada, China and Mexico. Pulse currently distributes its brands through Sysco, The Sygma Network, Core-Mark, Snyder's-Lance, United Natural Foods Inc. ("UNFI") and distributors for Anheuser Busch, Miller Coors, Pepsi, RC/7-Up and Cadbury Schweppes amongst others. Some of the more notable regional and national grocery and convenience chain stores are: Albertsons/Safeway, Walmart, Kroger/Fred Meyer, Kmart, Circle K, Walgreens, Wegmans, 7-Eleven, Whole Foods, H-E-B, Hy-Vee Supermarket, Save Mart Supermarkets, Hannaford, Food City, Raley's Supermarkets, Price Chopper Supermarkets and WinCo Foods.
In September Pulse began shipping Natural Cabana Lemonade/Limeade to China through its distributor, Nantong King Food Co. ("Nantong King"), a member of the Beijing Rosa International Trading Company, based out of Nantong City, 50 miles north of the Port of Shanghai. Nantong King received its first container of product and it has cleared all customs and logistics and is now being made available for sale through wholesale, retail and on-line outlets. Tom Wang, President of the Beijing Rosa group, said, "Natural Cabana® Lemonade/Limeade are fantastic tasting and will be quite unique in China. The wealthier Chinese consumers often look to Western products, especially after recent food and product safety scares in China. We will market the Natural Cabana® drinks to this market segment. We received our first container of 1,500 cases which has allowed us to development the market." Nantong King has ordered two more containers for shipment this month. Mr. Yates said, "We have been selective in choosing a partner for the Chinese market and we are confident and excited to have Nantong King as our partner to rollout our products in China. One of our original investors has been instrumental in securing this deal and will be our 'Man on the Ground' in China to ensure everything goes smoothly for both parties."
Nantong King has recently ordered a container of PULSE® Heart & Body Health functional beverages to meet the needs of the Chinese health food consumers who are paying more attention than ever to their health and they look to Western products. Pulse's product development and quality control team is in the process of working out the labeling logistics in China and will begin to build this product for shipment in early 2016.
Pulse's Mexico distributor recently received its first order of 15,000 cases of Pulse's new Natural Cabana® Coconut Water which sale will be recorded this month. Pulse negotiated a contract for lower product and shipping costs. Pulse's distributor will initially distribute Natural Cabana® Coconut Water to more than 3,000 stores in Mexico including: Soriana, H-E-B, 7-Eleven, Calimax, Circulo K, Dax, Smart & Final, and Farmacia Roma.
Pulse continues its plan to produce Natural Cabana® Lemonade/Limeade (known as "Limonada") for the Mexico market in a 16oz glass bottle format. A number of major Mexican supermarkets have agreed to order this product in the first quarter of 2016.
Pulse's flagship product, PULSE® Heart & Body Health functional beverage, is available for mass distribution through UNFI which also carries Natural Cabana® Lemonades/Limeades and Coconut Water. Natural Grocers will be purchasing Coconut Water for 110 stores through UNFI.
Pulse has Walmart store manager approval status across the country to sell Natural Cabana® Lemonade/Limeade. The Pulse team has set more than 180 Walmart stores to date. Walmart corporate has approved Natural Cabana® Lemonade/Limeade to be placed into a 500 store set during the first quarter 2016 and is negotiating with Walmart for three of its clusters of stores which potentially represent more than 1,000 additional stores.
Pulse is in the process of setting an additional 1,000 retail stores in the cold box sections with many more in process or pending. They are all taking on one or both of Natural Cabana® Lemonades/Limeades and new Coconut Water.
Bob Yates, Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased with the overwhelming success of our new coconut water; orders are backed up awaiting its arrival into the US later this month. We have achieved significant operational progress during the first nine months of 2015 to date. We have spent almost 4 years in establishing our domestic, Canada, Mexico and China distribution systems and have secured product listings at some of the top regional and national retail stores. We believe this and the highlights discussed above will lead to a breakout 2016 and profitability in the first half of 2016. With the progress we are making, we are confident in the delivery and execution of our growth and marketing strategies and look forward to communicating more progress on this with our shareholders during 2016."
I'd wait for the report to come out. If it's not good, you could sell for a loss and probably buy back in after the 31 day waiting period at around the same price that you sold for. Just a thought. I'm holding.

Sure would be great if that happens. It could mean big profits for anyone buying in where we are now. Glty
Hey old friend! Good to see ya again. My Etrade acct. shows I now have 459 shares of ANVGW and my old 8k shares of ANVGQ are listed as 019CNT997 which I'm assuming is the death of ANVGQ symbol Neither show any value as I guess it's transitioning?
I can't find anything on the new symbol ANVGW but I sure hope something develops from it. I'm not a pro like most on here so forgive my ignorance in the matter. lol
I think everyone here is upside down with this one unless they just bought in before today. GLTY
