FYI, orders from 7/2 (under free shipping,etc.) arrival this morning. Only update on new bottles, are they have a different lot #, from my last orders (which means, they are producting more and not just waiting until the last, apparent mass product order was exhausted - a good sign, IMO, they are prepared to have more product available as orders come in) and still have an expiration of 6/13.
Sorry I am out of the office the last few days, but I can share what you already know, that the markets did not like this morning unemployment numbers, (Duh, what a revelation!), and the macro markets view continues to worsen, with global economies showing weaker signals.
That being said, I was ok, with yesterday's close, holding .25+(support level), but am still not happy, with the negative reaction, to a positive SEC announcement( it confirmed Febuary's filing was 'EFFECTIVE'), & confirming Fuse's filing regarding shares, accuracy, from 5 months ago. I was of a mind, that Friday's slip, was because of the missed announcement, I mentioned last week, but maybe that still is having an effect 'until' the product is actually on an GNC shelf, although I find that a weak excuse. We will see, but patience will be rewarded.
DROP sitting at .241 (-.014, -5.49%), on slightly higher than average volume.
Everyone have a great weekend! Still happy with Fuse and will be buying more in the .34 to .36 range.

OPC, I used 'Enerjel', (the others I tried were 'invalid', 'getpowered', 'Oneup', 'getfused10'), but you can only order one at a time.
FYI, if anyone has already signed up, they will automatically send you an email, and I believe you have to order the Enerjel, although I ordered anyway, but it seems implied to order more.

scooter28, not to argue, but I do want to point out a couple of reasons for the low volume, I consider(IMO).
Volume across the markets has been low, because no one is sure if the financial stability of the world's economy, is getting closer to the cliff. Of couse I am tired and bored hearing the TV talking heads, talking doom & gloom, repeating it over and over, to scare people in the political season, as they push their choice for president. But the fact remains, Ms.Markets detests uncretainty, and the financial problems (debt/deficits) are not resolved, yet.
DROP action specific. I stated yesterday and reminded this morning, Fuse missed yesterday, and I think that has scared a few investors. Of course, you are probably also correct, others will be waiting to see the new Drops products, and confirm they are what is advertised, but yesterday missing a previously indicated announcement, to come by 3rd qtr end, did hurt/slow momentum, IMO. The good thing I want to point out though, inspite of the Fuse current miss, the PPS did not tank either, and very well could have. (Yes, I agree 'splitting hairs' by a few days/weeks, really doesn't matter in the long run, regarding the announcement/intro, and I am remaining long, in accumulation mode, btw)

infoseeker, scooter, shore, baystbully, et al. I appreciate your courage to discuss this touchy subject, and address it reasonably and respectfully.
No offense or disrespect to anyone, just adding my thoughts, and reasoning behind my efforts.
- Broad thoughts about accepting and dealing with positives & negatives related to Fuse company, DROP action;
First, they exist and I choose not to ignore the issues/concerns, but I have no need to scare anyone, by making mountains out of mole hills (I still consider this company, in basic start-up mode, and expect misses and bumps in the road). Yesterday, especially in my reply(19321) to an mdub post, I gently expressed my displeasure with Fuse's miss, of addressing the next new Drops products, which were supposed to be announced before end of 3rd qtr. In that encompasing note about other issues mdub brought up, the end of the post, discussed Fuse's miss, but only implied and I did not purposely get into, how it might negatively affect DROP action. ( BTW, I was not thrilled with the DROP action yesterday, and am pretty sure that missed announcement, had a lot to do with it. enough said )
I have been refraining from posting any strong negatives, related to Fuse, because this appears to one of the key places people catch up on the company, and follow it's progress. Being a start-up and an OTC, people will be apprehensive to begin with. Therefore, for example, I will mention 'mini-death crosses', but I do not get into depth about it's affects, because A, this is a start-up and the chart history is too short, and B, I have no need to fuel the couple of folks who thrive on negatives news and refuse to look at the whole picture, realistically.
Another part of this is, the global markets are in doom & gloom/fear mode, like it or not. Yes, I respect CaptianTripps and Aksys's opinions this is 'old news', and already priced in, but I do not agree. That pervading 'doom and gloom' atmosphere, intensifies anyone mentioning negatives related to Fuse's execution, because all everyone basically talks about, is how the financial world is falling off a cliff, any day now, and there is fear Fuse will go with it. I think that vibe, does make us sensitive, and want to naturally avoid any more negatives, since we are overloaded, so to speak. If you look at my earlier post (19239) and some of my posts from earlier this week, highlighting the macro conditions we face, what to expect and it could affect Fuse/DROP action, they were an effort to let everyone know the environment we are trading in, and to grasp what Ms. Market could react too. * Yes, I know certain folks, who live in the penny stock arena, do not agree that the overall macros matter, and I respect them all, and am NOT discounting their opinions, just sharing another view that could affect DROP action, IMO.
*** Regarding this subject, I have to ADD, the exchanges of posts have been excellent and informative, while also being very respectful of each other, and especially the highlighted posters above, have handled this in a very productive/positive way.
Thank you all, for continuing to discuss sensitive topics in such a reasoned manner, you certainly make following this board a pleasure and very informative, across the entire spectrum.

mdub, affected by overall markets, does not mean it follows them, as they go up or down. With DROP for example, the overall markets began to tumble, starting around 4/2, the end of the six month bull run. Then 'sell in May, and go away' began. DROP, in the face of the 'sell in May...", had it's double bottom 5-7 & 5/16, and proceeded to rise until 6/20, almost every day, albeit on light volume. After 6/20, the confusion about the 6/12 date, for GNC shelf appearances, took hold. I believe, once the impression set in, that Fuse missed that date of 6/12(which I disagree with, and repeated earlier today, it was the beginning of the process for GNC to begin the ramp up to putting Enerjel on the shelves, which takes weeks to get into their systems, etc.) a drop off began, which coincided with the continuing global markets sell-off. Point being, DROP was falling for it's own negative perception, but not with the overall markets.
The two 'dead-cat bounces' (my opinion, of the markets two short lived bounces, from oversold conditions) of the markets, did not affect DROP action, much at all, since last week's 6/19 bounce, did not stop the gradual and slow drip down of DROP on light volume.
The impact of the overall markets, is about how the current fears and apprehensions, has dropped volume across the board, and drags DROP volume as well, but not necessarily, will the directions match.
Today, Fuse did not follow through on the new drops products intro, as of yet, which as, NM3209 did point out earlier, can be taken as a disappointment. Without any clarity as to why, since we were informed in previous updates from Fuse, the new Drops product lines would be soft launched, as Enerjel hitting GNC shelves process begins, and it would happen in the 3rd qtr. Today is the last day of the 3rd quarter, and investors/traders, appear to be taking this miss, negatively.
The other issue with following the markets overall vibe, is if people are in risk-off mode, that means even people who have started to follow OTCs, may not be willing to put their money in play, until uncertainty is gone. I have notice a slight change of attention given to OTCs, from normally BB players, and have shared that many times. That does not eliminate the folks who have been long term, penny stock followers, who ignore what traders of retail stocks do and feel penny stocks are different. It just means there are different players, with different mind sets, involved now. This is a relatively new trend, some of which was spurred by low cost, high yield, accepted higher risk and appears more timely than waiting for options trading triggers and expirations, with similar lower monitary outlays.
As far as the current DROP action, and the overall markets, I will be watching the close, to try to determine the impact of the announcement miss, and not the tick by tick action. Separately, the EU summit generated uptick, is based upon the same type of promises the previous 18 meetings have produced, and I am not so sure, it will hold up any better than the others, once we look under the hood.
From my stand, I accept the miss, and am not concerned about a few days/weeks, here or there, for the new Drops products, soft launch. I know other folks, might be very concerned, but perhpas they have not been following the Fuse company, with as much depth, as many have here (who also have raised important concerns along the way, and I don't see anyone here, proceeding with their eyes closed, btw). So I remain positive of Fuse Science.
Hope this helps.

Some thoughts & ideas to consider,re;DROP action, low volume, and new products coming.
In general, what was everyone talking about yesterday, just about everywhere? Obamacare ruling.
What will markets be watching today? EU Summit (19th by my count, still kicking the can, and I expect the same, without the sky falling). * Europe will still exist, in one form or another, and it will be years before they get rolling again, but it will not vanish.
What has been the general feel to the markets the last 5-10 trading days, on top of 'sell in May...' ? Apprehension, fear, and needed vacations for the weary, who need to re-charge with summer, finally here.
What happens in down markets, filled with fear and apprehension?
Low volumes, 'risk-off' during uncertainty, and IPOs get pulled back. Yes there are more affects, but just pointing out a few.
But, the key one I am focused on, is the IPOs get pulled back, so that they don't get hammered, by simply being intro'd in a 'down/bad market'. I am talking about in general, how companies decide, it is in their best interest, to wait for a stronger market, when people are willing, to put money at risk, and enjoy a successful introduction, for the risk takers.
My point being, for everyone to consider the possible thought, Fuse just might want a cleaner table to make the DROP announcements, so people will actually see/hear it. I agree somewhat, with NM3209s notion, that a miss is a miss, and some investors will move to something else, but I think that would be pretty limited, with folks following Fuse, since there really are not too many OTCs with the current track record of Fuse around, right now. On the BBs, where I live all day, it would definitely be more prevalent, but with my limited 'OTC venture market' experience, I don't get that vibe, very strongly, since it seems much harder to find legit venture stocks, but I could be wrong.
As far as Enerjel hitting the GNC shelves, my interpretation, has always been, they would start the process on June 12th, but they did not say, it would be on the shelves that day. IMO, Enerjel, hitting the shelves, over the next few weeks, meets the plan. There are several experienced posters here, who have tried to detail the behind the scenes work involved, which do fit the current timeline, and confirm the original announcement. IMO, no miss.
As far as new Drop products, it was going to be a 'soft launch', so if they say anything today, that would be fine, but I am not going to lose confidence if they hold off, for whatever internal reason, they are considering. After all, it would be 'spliting hairs', for a day or two here or there, wouldn't it?
DROP stock action. With the 'risk-off' down market vibe, dominating all markets globally, and the daily bad economic news, around the world, I personally am not worried about the action. Besides, I would rather, patiently wait for the store shelves to fill, and new products to become available.
Additionally, sometime next month, we will also get 3rd quarter results and filings, which could at best, simply show continuing Enerjel sales, under limited exposure, so far.
Hope these thoughts and ideas to consider, can calm some of the nerves a bit, my own included, until we see the next few weeks unfold.
GO FUSE!

DROP action will be affected by the macros, so low volume and holding the .30 closing levels today, should be taken as a positive.
Rather than repeat all the issues going on today & tomorrow, just refer to my post 19068.
On top of that, the futures right now, before the bell are Dow -95, S&P -8.9, NASD -18.9.
Numbers from Germany were poor, and Euorpean confidence fell again. Rumors about the EU Summit, have been throwing the futures all over the place, since 4AM.
China, was lower, for the 7th day in a row.
Basically the news is not getting any better, and I will not be trading until after the dust falls, and several people I spoke with, the last few days, are doing the same.
30 Minuntes to SCOTUS, oh boy!

scooter28, totally agree! Patience is the key, and although my last interaction with IR, implied something is coming soon, with all the outside negative news, consuming the world/markets (SCOTUS decision, EU Summit, end of first half, month end, etc, I detailed the other day, all coming today & tomorrow), I would not be surprised to see something announceed, into the next two weeks, or right around the 4th(my gut feel).
IR indicated soemthing would come out, but I can not imply by tomorrow, although that seemed like the hint. Here is the simple reply I received late yesterday afternoon, to a few questions I asked;

Swankp, I don't do politics (and avoid adding my personal comments), and was indicating what the two biggest issues are facing the overall markets(EU summit & SCOTUS decision), and the additonal elements that will be factored into market trading, toward the end of this week.
My macro update is about, the general sense, among strategists, traders and market makers, I interact with daily, one way or another, or follow periodically, about what bets (best guesses, pertaining to the actual decision by SCOTUS, re; obamacare / EU summit, etc.) could be on the table, after those decisions/updates, hit the wires.
Respectfully, I will not address the politically listed details in your note, (and you do appear to have put in great efforts) whether I agree, disagree, or we meet in the middle, on the many whys and wherefores, you responded with.
I responded to catblu's Marine question, because I do sometimes, in hast, respond with one of my standard sign offs, of Semper Fi, which I also generally keep out of my notes here, so as not to distract or flavor my updates/comments. Regarding the USMC, I do feel, it is clearly an honor to have served our nation, and appreciate your mention of, thank you.
Thank you for the reply, and I hope you understand why, I keep my political views private, and stay within the confines of what affects DROP action, here.
Have a great day.

Several market macro issues/concerns, facing stock action, and it is having an affect on DROP action/volumn, as well. Basically, when everyone is in 'risk-off' mode, it has trickled down to DROP, as well, IMO.
This week is full of events, each of which, may have a sizable impact, of the overall world markets, going forward.
SCOTUS, will be delivering a decision, on the Constitutionality of Obamacare, this Thursday. IMO, if they strike down the entire law, which we all hope for as market risk takers, that single decision, will provide a decent opportunity for a sustainable rise if U.S. markets. If they only do piece work, we might get a bounce, but it will be temporary. A partial decision, will basically be 'kicking the can, down the road', requiring more politics and in-fighting amongst our two political parties ,and delivery more uncertainty, to MS Market, and she doesn't like that.
Euro wise, this week will provide, yet another EU summit, to hopefully get their act together, in another version of trying to address their debt problems.
Calendar wise, we are at month end, and also 1/2 half end, this Friday. Normally, this time of year, is filled with window deressing, or undressing, depending on, the current trend. But, with the above two higher impact concerns, facing the markets, fund managers, are going to be very caucious. We probably will not see, a normally expected bounce today, from yesterday's red numbers, with those two items, currently hanging over the markets. Fund managers, will also have to incorporate, depending upon the headlines announced, a wait and see approach. On top of those issues, a close of the markets below the 5-week moving averages, will also throw a wet blanket, on the second half, as well. (FYI, Currently, those 5-week avgs are Dow 12,560, S&P 1324, NASD 2848, Rusell200 783.55, and the readings right now, are all below those avgs.)
As we have seen in the past, especially with the EU summits, everything is rosey, at first, until you look under the covers, and find out, the real debt problems have not been addressed. Hence, the initial bounces, of both LTROs, last year, have waned. Add to that, the Soros scare tactics of last weekend, where he is trying to push the idea, that this week's EU summit, will be the end all, rather than another 'kick the can' moment, is causing additional apprehension, as well. (BTW, I do not agree with Soros, and think this will kick the can, and keep moving the calendar, to provide more time to figure otu what they can do.)
Same goes with the SCOTUS decision, in that, unless it is a complete repeal of obamacare (which currently does not appear to be leaning that way, based upon yesterday's, split Arizona law decision), it will be subject to everyone's own interpretation, and the politizing of that decision. So Fund managers, can be expected to NOT go, 'all in', one way of the other. We probably get a limited bounce, here as well, which will subside.
Because of this week's, two main decisions, fund managers, are not even doing the typical mention of, the pending 'earnings season' coming up in the next couple of weeks.
Add these to the recent two dead-cat bounces(end of April-early May, and last week's Tuesday bounce), as I refer to them, in the mindst of LTE (lower than expected) world wide economic announcements, hitting the wires regularly since end of March, and the environment, just doesn't look very 'risk-on'.
Another event from last week, pushing the 'risk-off' atmosphere, is the 'Fed' NOT doing another QE, which do not print/dilute the dollar further, but rather, gives it strength and a viable place to put your equity profits, moving ahead. I note this, because people are now considering taking their profits from gold, and have been. Last Thursday, gold did drop below $1,590 levels, at the close, as the potential for some period of dollar strength, becomes a possible option. I am not saying to sell your Gold, but just be aware of what might affect it moving forward, since it has been on a healthy run, for some time now. Remember, no one ever went broken taking a profit, and our markets having been moving faster and faster, the last few years. So just keep an eye on it, and the possibilty of dollar strength, as the year proceeds.
I won't repeat the meetings and vibes, I shared already with last week's meetings, but the general health of the markets is in question, and apprehension is palitable.
Without adding more indepth, overall market macro issues, about what some would consider either old news (EU), or not related specifically to an OTC stock (SCOTUS decision), suffice to say, although we are no longer in very oversold conditions, we are also not in risk-on, either.
DROP action/Fuse company wise, with all the outside noise, still has not missed any projected plans, and has NOT had any negative news/announcements. Fuse, continues to fulfill, it's business commitments, and all we need to do, is remain patient and realistic, as events unfold in the next few weeks & months.
I still feel very confident, and remain in buy mode, as the stock price increases. DROP is currently .305, +.004, (+1.33%), on very light volume, in the face of a very nervous and flatish markets.
Hope this macro stuff helps you get some sleep, if you are still awake.
GO FUSE!

scooter28, this is an excellent note, and helpful in keeping a realistic and encompassing view, of the entire picture, and the real risks facing, the Fuse company. I personally, keep the issues you bring up, at the forefront, of my thinking and decision making, when increasing the share load, of how much DROP to maintain, moving forward.
Your ending of statement;
______________________________________________________________
I am surprised that many of the posts on this board do not reflect on the issue of reaching, educating, and differentiating our products to the public. I am sure Fuse has a formulated marketing plan, but what about the low budget ... what was it ... something like 8 to 10 million to cover all costs including salaries for the year? Hope they prove me wrong ! ! !
______________________________________________________________
moving forward is truly the key. Without a high percentage of success, regardless of how well they get the product out to the shelves, the main issues you mention here, are completely on point and necessary, to have a successful outcome.
I personally do see Fuse's entire progression, since last October, to now, has been relatively sound (not perfect, but clearly sound), and it provides a certain amount of confidence moving ahead. So hopefully the issues you note, will have a positive resolution, and customer acceptance will propel Fuse to where, many of us are hoping it will proceed too. Not that I can speak for anyone, but I do think many of the folks here, also have the educated and balanced view, you do, and understand the risks involved.
Excellent note, which helps me remain focused, thanks.

catblu, yes, I am very fortunate and honored, to have served, the greatest country in history, America.
jdews, good move. I did similar on 4/8.
Funny thing is, when Goldman Sachs, made their 'buy the markets' statement in the end of March, I knew the six month bull run was over, and that sort of confrimed it. The downturn happened on 4/2, and I waited until one week before tax day, since that week is always a downer, to change our approach and go into preserving capital, locking in some profits, and looking for the falloff.
Hopefully the GS 'short the market' statement yesterday, will be another turning point, since they have been terible with the timing ( although I actually believe they try to get everyone to go in one direction, close to the end of a 'move', as they go the other direction - they are heartless, btw), but truthfully the world markets, are in trouble.
We investors/traders, still face more problems, even though 'another' European meting next week (what is that about the 17th or 18th, or 50th different meeting, that is going to completely fix Europe?), to save the world economy. Today will be a prelim, held in Italy, between Merkel, and some other key decision makers, to save themselves, but I don't have a good feeling about today or next week, and will be holding off on any major moves.
____________________________________________________________
FYI - German news out, to keep in focus; German business climate/confidence was much lower than expected (fell to the lowest in more than two years in June) and continued concern over German court challenges to Euro area bailout efforts.
From a solid source I read everyday - "The Munich-based IFO institute said today its business climate index, based on a survey of 7,000 executives, dropped for a second straight month to 105.3 from 106.9 in May. That’s the lowest reading since March 2010."
_______________________________________________________________
It seems today we may get another 'dead - cat bounce', today (remember, we are still in an overbought market) but I don't plan on doing much.
What does this have to do with DROP action? Quite a bit, IMO, because with DROP stock, holding a close of .30, last night, that is a sign of strength. I still believe it set it's low back on 5/7, and considering all the turmoil in the global markets, the low volumn and holding steady is a very good sign, from my view.
I know some here, disagree, and feel the global markets have priced in all the bad news (and I truly hope they are correct, since I really do respect Aksys and CaptianTripps, opinions and research), I do have some concerns, the markets could have a washout, in the near future.
But, I am not hoping for that, just stating the obvious potential, none of us really want, but it is still there.

DROP action is holding up, in spite of the current downturn, across the markets. DROP is .30 (-0.33%), on very low volumn.
DJIA -222.09(-1.73%) (Below Avg vol)
S&P 500 -26.78 (-1.98%) Below Avg vol)
NASDAQ -62.64 (-2.14%) (Below Avg vol)
Russell 2000 -18.35 (-2.34%) (Below Avg vol)
The current price action, IMO, is because everybody (traders, brokerages houses, investors) are not happy with the current overall market environment, and not really willing to go to 'risk-on'. The European news continues to deteriorate, and the news here at home this morning, was not good at all. Now the TV talking heads, are talking 'grim reaper' calls, and fear is being pushed to the forefront. Of Course this could get to the capitulation, moment the markets need to clean the system out, but it does not seem that way at the moment.
As I stated the other day, I am not selling, but I am not agressively buying any individual stocks, either. I am currently watching VXX, SDS, and a host of other ADRs and ETFs, in basket form, to scratch a few bucks, while continuing to have confidence and patience with DROP action.
There has not been any negative news, whatsoever, regarding Fuse company. Therefore, it is best to let the overall markets ride things out, and be patient as Drops products become available and Enerjel, starts hitting the shelves in a few weeks.

Nm3209, Thanks for the reply, but I am wondering if there is a target type range, Fuse is estimating per drop/dose. I agree with you, all consumables, are directly related to the individual, but bringing up the '5 hour' implication, to see if that will be part of the soft launch measures, if they have a pre-determined range.
I personally, have never had an energy drink, because of the implied risk, according to my cardiologist/common sense (since I have never really had the need), who, because I am 55, thinks it is not worth the risk, for the 'rush'. No, foruntately I have no heart issues at all, and it is cautionary.
I can also share, when I am out at the bar, I stick with the car-bombs (Guinness/whisky), while my sons, and/or any combo of friends, as they do Yager shots(Yager/redbull, etc). And yes, ending Father's day in a bar with my sons, drinking and ending with this stuff, is priceless! I wish everyone had as much good fortune/luck, to be that close with their boys/kids.
Yup, I took a tangent, but that should provide a few laughs, as we all wait for the shelf action.
Thanks again, NM3209.

Briefly, the stock price action yesterday, was not disasterous, but did surprise me. First off, the support at .25 was confirmed, and it did close above .31, which is good. The 10D remains above the 50D, since the resolutuion of the mini-death cross, on 6/11, and we have 5 consecutive trading days, confirming this. Note, the last resolution, between 4/3 - 4/18 (10 trading days), was a bit short, but considering the overall markets, having been in correction mode, since 4/2, at least DROP has been on a positive trajectory, since the double bottom of 5/7 - 5/17, with yesterday, being the first strong red close(-9.28%).
My surprise with yesterday's action, comes from a lack of genuine negative news. Granted there was some typical, negative nonsense, posted after the morning opening drop, as the reasons, but as others have stated, we have heard this bs before, with the Enerjel, doesn't exist and P&D, mumbo jumbo. Rather, as some posters suggested last night, apparently the 'Tiger influence', by his actual play this weekend, drove the action around a bit in the amature hour. Even though, I would normally doubt someone's trading strategy, would be based upon every swing of his club, it certainly appears to have been part of the trading.
But, as several have mentioned, perhaps this will wash out those folks, who I would guess are 'day-trader types', which is fine by the way, who prefer that approach. I am not trying to knock anyone's trading strategy, btw, I am just admitting I am surprised by it. I actually believe folks should trade/invest in any method, that works for them. The other additional element, is the MMs moving the market around to pounce on trading executions, as griff has brought up, several times, in the past, with his expertise of the behind the scenes action.
Tidbits; sorry this may be slightly boring to some, but the last few days, I have been attending, or been in on conference calls, paying attention to the mode of strategists, traders/investors, and broker meetings. Not surprisingly, the general feel is fear, and traders are looking for the news headlines, to make quick hits, or stay away completely, until the 'sell in May' syndrom, runs it's course. I don't like those approaches, but I think it is important to know what some movers are thinking. My personal views are things are not very good, outside of Fuse, especially in Europe. I watched the LTROs, both of them, basically do about as much good as QE1, QE2, and TWIST, which did not resolve the real problem of too much spending, by the current administration. These approaches, are simply looking to kick the can down the road, and unfortunately, the road is getting very short. I understand 'don't fight the fed', and know if they decide to put in place another QE type of effort, the market will have some strength, although I am not sure it will last, or simply be a 'sell the news' event, which I doubt, btw. Then again, there are always the lingering folks, who make it clear, this is 'old news', summer is here now, and things are getting better.
I actually find it surprising, there are so many thoughts and actual meetings, at this time of year(considering normal time for vacations, etc.), and the focused, keen eye, on the 'fed'. People are nervous and are pegging this weeks meeting (today & tomorrow FOMCs) as the best time to 'do something', and avoid doing it, closer to the election. There have been rumors the last few days, from everyone, but with all the 'bad news' circulating, the odds are talking up, and favoring the 'fed' doing another QE/TWIST. But if they don't, you can count on, an overall market drop, probably pretty hard, IMO. But then again, the chorus of it's old news, and/or the 'fed' not acting is because things are getting better, will be heard.
Over night, at 5AM, I watched the ZEW german confidence index miss badly, the Spain rates stay above 7%, etc, yet the futures went red, for maybe 5 minutes, and then flipped back to green. Part of that, is the potential "fed" next version of QE, and the ECB stating, if the Spain borrowing goes above 7.5%, they will then act. So regardless if these pending quant moves, will work or not, people are continuing to ignore the ongoing LTE (less than expected) numbers, being announced around the world, on all the major economics, and are going to buy the markets, because of these quant moves.
How does this relate to DROP action? Well, my point with DROP is, market apprenhension is rampant, and I surmise, some of the early selling, during the first hour, yesterday, was people profit taking, because of the 'risk-off' trade environment. Keep in mind, nobody ever went broke, taking a profit, and the bounce to a close above .31, is very healthy, after some profit grabs.
Personally, I was not part of selling anything yesterday morning, and remain long on DROP. I think some of the excellent DD, done by both York and pesc, to verify GNC shelf availability, were priceless, and very valuable. Also, the last couple of detailed charts Aksys, has put a ton of effort into, should be kept in mind, whether you follow Fib numbers or not, since it really is excellent work, everyone can learn from. These ongoing different factors, along with all the other healthy Fuse fundamentals, and developing business plans, including their consistent executions, provide a bright future for the Fuse company/DROP action.
Additionally, my orders from 6/13, arrived on saturday 6/16. FYI, as far as ordering with all the multiple discounts, apparently, you can only use klineclassic, in addition to the enerjel, which comes up automatically, with the order page. I tried to use all 5, but they seemed to have 'fixed' that, so the best price is $15.98, as of now(yesterday).
Hope this is somehow helpful to your view.

market macros, do not look good. Spain was downgraded again last night, by Moodys, to slightly above 'junk status', following Egan's downgrade to JUNK. Overnight Spainish bonds touched 7%, and are hovering just below that number, right now, which is a high cost to borrow more money. Italy, also has surging costs, hovering below 7%, as well, which is hurting their borrowing ability, too. Add the Greek elections this Sunday, and the run on the banks that have been going on in Greece, this week, leading up to those elections, and the world wide news, is clearly negative. Rumors of doom and gloom, are all over the place. Of course there is more bad economic news, including here in America, but that is enough dark cloud talk, for now, and I am sure everyone is already aware of it, and can do without more detailing.
Personally, I would hope Aksys and Capt Tripps are correct, that all this ongoing bad news, is already baked into the cake. I am really surprised U.S. futures, are basically flat at the moment, and we will see how the 8:30Am announcements, affect the morning opening, but I hope this supports Aksys' and Capt's opinion, and they are right.
The nicest part of all this doom and gloom news, is that it is outside of, the continuing good performance/execution, of the Fuse company. I continue to have a good feeling, that no matter what the overall markets do, as long as they don't fall off the cliff, DROP stock will be a sort of safe haven, for those who 'need' to be in the markets. Regardless of this stock being an OTC, and slightly diluted, the future is fundamentally positive, based upon their execution, so far. Hope this continues, for all our pockets.
The numbers just came out, and they are worse than expected. Initial claims missed, 386K vs. 375K expected; Current acct balance missed, $137.3B, vs $130.9B; Continuing claims missed, 3278K, vs 3275K; CPI fell by .3%, which is the sharpest decline in 3 yrs, and better than the expected -.2%.
Basically, the futures hardly moved, after a slight drop into the red, they are back to slightly green. The continuing LTE (less than expected) news/economics, is probably causing more support, to the 'fed' coming to the recue, next week, with another QE. Keep in mind the old saying, "don't fight the 'fed' ".
Hope this boring stuff is somewhat helpful.
GO FUSE!

mdub, excellent note.
I also want to let you know ( along with, takeachance, ulfahl, makethemoney, paythetaxes, avexed ) last night I wanted to confirm in a post 18242, I appreciate your informative posts, and benefit from them all.
I tried to quickly name several posters, so as not to ignore anyone, but of course, as I suspected, I certainly missed you and the folks named here, and it was not on purpose. And yes, I am sure am I still missing some other folks, but it is not for any negative reasons.
Thanks to all.
GO FUSE!
GLTA
Baystbully, make sure you put me on the side that definitely benefits, learns from, and appreciates, your posts.
There are several excellent posters here, as well, who look at things from different backgrounds and points of views, like Aksys, Infoseeker11, Yorkshire, Scooter28, Captiantripps, catblu(always laugh at the grandkids piggy-bank, pending break-in attacks), vera-lynn, shore18, flockastock, panther9191, rick85, UHD, and, the more recent posters balamidas, and Nm3209, to name a few (I know there are others, sorry if I missed you, no offense intended), that I enjoy, and benefit from as well.
Really, the information exchange, and DD, have done everything to reveal exactly what Fuse is doing, which benefits us all. I can not trade/invest, without knowledge and awareness, and those qualities, are al over this Fuse board.
The day I think, I know everything, I'm done.
GO FUSE!

shore18, I think you are being realistic and accurate, especially about our country's, out of control, wasteful spending. I would not say you are 'a perennial bear', though, because we all, must be aware of what can trigger, the 'house of cards', to fall at any second. Anyone completely ignoring the outside influences, IMO, is making a huge mistake.
I view your caution, as an intelligent approach, which should be incorporated in everyone's strategy, to some degree. The trick at times, is managing the events(best guess), to put ourselves, in the best position, to be successful, and make a buck, on either side of the trade.
Good observations on your part, thanks.

DROP action, held up well at, .34, considering all the bad overall world market news, which is affecting traders/investors, alike, which has been hitting the wires.
MarketWatch, posted an article at 2:59PM, picking up on my negative retail sales indications, from earlier today, and added it to thier JPMorgan article, preceding the start of 3PM market indexes waterfall. A few minutes ago, 2:42PM, they accredited Egan-Jones, with their downgrade to 'junk' status Of Spain, with a CCC+ rating.
In general, and there is more negativity in the overall markets, and they are starting to digest, the entire world may already be in recession (whether that is accurate or not, btw). This reality may finally be setting in, even though we are all tired of this old story, constantly dribbling for the last 3 years. Unfortunately, it is still dragging the atmosphere down, and can have an affect on how much 'risk on' is going to be sustained, by world markets, moving ahead. Of course, this type of dribbling negativity, could finally generate that capitulation moment, to clear the table, some time in the near future. But, who knows, and next week, is 'fed' week, with the potential QE3 rumor.
IMO, as I have stated some time ago, DROP already capitulated on 5/7, and should be insulated from an overall markets wash out, as it is re-enforced, again, by the long standing .25 support level. Back to today(enough raining already), DROP pocketing another gain of +5.92%, in the face of everything, outside of it, is a solid day. Yes, I would have preferred a close of .35, after hitting .37, but I feel fine with this closing price.
GO FUSE!
GLTA
shore18, don't get serious now, today's action, is a positive move, I agree with you. Just ribbing ya, a bit, and only in good fun. Think I will go place another order, enjoy.
GO FUSE!
GLTA
shore18, ut oh! you are back and we lost .3505. I think your dog needs another walk, or a longer ride in the car.
simon88, I am not worried, nor do I track every trade, during the day. I focus on the daily closing price, and as I said earlier, it already hit .37, and a close of .35, will be very nice, IMO.
DROP has been on a slow and steady rise, as the rest of the markets, have been in 'sell in May, and go away' syndrome. With the most recent hope, that next week, the 'fed' will intro the next QE3, is what has pushed the indexes around a little bit this week, so far, but it remains a rumor, regardless of how folks interpret the talking heads.
Keep in mind, everything outside of DROP action, is breeding fear on an hourly basis. It makes some sense that before the product, Enerjel, follows through on the Fuse plan, and hits the shelves, in the next few weeks, some folks will take quick 'day-trading' types profits. Personally, that is fine with me, but, I do not see today's action, as anything negative, at all, especially with that DJ wire article, which continues the positive news trends of Fuse company, regarding the buildout plans.
If you take a quick look at all the indexes today, they are all red. The European news, rumors of the day, are not good at all. Retail sales in the U.S., is at two year lows, and generally the mode is negative.
DROP is doing fine, and is currently sitting at .3505, since the volumn feel off the table, around noon.
GO FUSE!

Just put through another Enerjel Order, # 11248.
GO FUSE!
GLTA
Baystbully, you might actually save more money, because so far, she has not called me back, to cancel any of my non-multiple orders. No emails either, to cancel my orders.
I was just on the phone with her(11:41Am) 'verifying' my first order (credit card #, was the excuse), to see if she would say, anything about the multiple codes, but she didn't at the time.
Of course, you just might be first to call, since you had the lower order number too. If she calls to cancel, I will post it asap.
Thanks again, Baystbully.
Go FUSE!
GLTA
shore18, I'm with Baystbully, get out for another walk, you are costing us 2 cents!!! We are all the way down to .35 :)
Don't jinx anything by waking up anybody, either. Let sleeping dogs lie. :)
Have a great day, and enjoy your walk, hurry up, get out of the house! (strickly for laughs!)
GO FUSE
GLTA
Baystbully, FYI, my 3rd order is up to #11244.
Thanks again, you sharing is clearly causing Enerjel purchases, and that will be nice to see in the next quarterly.
Great Job Bay!!!
GO FUSE
GLTA
Baystbully, Thanks for the info, but the getfused10, is from end of January, beginning of Feburary time frame( not sure of exact date, sorry), that I have been using since order # 10527.
Also, even when I tried more than one bottle, on any of the discounts, one at a time, it replied, 'invalid discount'. Just an FYI, about the multiples, when I just tried it.
I still think even at $7.99, they are making a profit, since they did have that short term, 'buy one, bet one free', although I could be wrong.
Lastly, since I can order multiple times, I am just shipping some directly to my friends. Just put in another order, and it is already at #11232, 3 higher than my order from just a few minutes ago (#11229).
Thanks Baystbully.
GO FUSE!
GLTA
Baystbully, I put the order through, added the getfused10 discount, to the ones you shared, and paid $7.99, total, including shipping(# 11229).
FYI, don't know if you were able to order, all at once, but I was not, and was limited to one bottle, at a time.
It is still well worth the price, and I will probably put through a few more later. There might be a glitch in their system, but they won't hear it from me. :)
Either way, I am sure they are profiting nicely, and I have no problem ordering more, directly from them.
BTW, DROP at .3699, on average volumn, right now. I would be happy to see it hit .37, and close above .35.
More boring tech stuff later, but big thanks Baystbully!
GO FUSE!

Baystbully, thank you, I will give it a go, right now.
Appreciate the excellent posts!
Here is today's news, from DJ wire.
Fuse Science Sets New Standard of Transdermal Delivery with Groundbreaking Scientific ResultsLast update: 6/13/2012 10:00:00
AMMIAMI LAKES, Fla., June 13, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
Fuse Science Inc. (otcqb:DROP), () is pleased to announce the results of a study that begins to indicate the significant capabilities that reside in their proprietary technology. A third-party study, which is being released today at , reveals unique and differentiated, transdermal delivery capabilities that the Company believes has the potential to significantly improve drug delivery and minimize side effects.
The results of the study center around four basic principles that matter to everyone when it comes to nutrition, energy and pharmaceutical delivery options:
Speed - Fuse Science is the first to report the ability to deliver caffeine through the epidermis in less than 3 minutes in an In Vitro study.
This opens the door for a wide variety of acute delivery options transdermally, which will significantly improve medical treatment options. Imagine the transformation of the $2 billion dollar internal analgesic category from a pill that takes 30 minutes to an hour to help provide relief vs. a roll-on with "Powered By Fuse(TM)" technology that begins to work in less than 3 minutes.
Variability - The study indicates that our proprietary delivery technology can influence the amount of medications and nutrients delivered through the skin at varying rates. This will allow for pediatric and adult dosing, as well as the ability to introduce a wide variety of new treatment applications designed to improve medical care, health and beauty and anti-aging therapies.
Duration - The study reports the superior progressive delivery of caffeine that has not peaked at 2 hours vs current published data of oral consumption which peaks at 45-60 minutes and thereafter falls off. We believe that this sets the stage for Fuse Science to deliver therapeutic levels of medications and nutrients over longer periods of time, creating better health outcomes.
Functionality - Fuse Science delivery technology can take products that are currently in patch form like nicotine, birth control and lidocaine, as a few examples of many, and turn them into simple transdermal roll-ons that deliver the same or better results without the constraints and draw backs of wearing a patch.
"We believe that proof of concept demonstrated by the study will be a key enabler in our global licensing efforts, and it further documents superior capabilities that reside within our technology," said Jeanne Hebert, Vice President of Marketing & Clinical Research. "It is our objective to leverage our technology, which we believe extends well beyond these initial findings, to redefine the standard of performance in many multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical and nutritional categories and improve the lives of people around the world."
"Needless to say, we are very pleased with the results of this initial study," said Brian Tuffin, CEO of Fuse Science Inc. "We have been very deliberate and calculated with every action we've taken as a company and this study provides the first of several significant steps we're taking to fully commercialize our proprietary delivery technology. We anticipate announcing in the coming days and weeks, more successes in this area which began with the licensing of some of our transdermal technology to Mission Athletecare early this year."
