SIRI HAS 2.3 BILLION OUTSTANDING SHARES AND SELLS FOR OVER $2 A SHARE IF YOU HAVE A POINT THEN MAKE IT...WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE O/S TOTAL IS. OLD NEWS YESTERDAYS NEWS...REVENUES WILL BE UP 300% YES YOU READ RIGHT 300%+ WHEN THIS Q IS RELEASED !!! AND THAT IS A 'MODEST' FIGURE, WILL COME IN HIGHER...
Have been pretty busy this week, plus my posting days on this site are pretty much over anyway..I did not call this week to get the latest total of outstanding shares..To be quite honest, I don't care what the outstanding share total is anyway..makes absolutely no difference to me whatsoever. You want to talk about O/S, SIRI has 2.8 billion outstanding and it trades for over $2 a share...Not sure what anybody is trying to prove with O/S posting, to me it's a total waste of time even talking about it. Totally non-productive...Time would be better well spent talking about potential new accounts for Phase III...Anything can happen with the pps of any stock, on any given day...Nobody who posts here, myself included, can say they know what the stock will do on Monday..everybody can guess...that's about it..Signing off for the last time here, good luck all whatever your side...I'll be on the other site...ATTD !
Everybody here knows it will succeed, even those who are not long the stock...why else would they waste so much time day after day posting here...they know the upside potential..some great performances though, I will say that, academy award worthy...ATTD !
Thanks Rustler, will be happy to break the market and get that first authorization. Biggest obstacle I am running into is getting in contact with the right people, and most importantly, getting them to return messages...lol..these category managers/buyers are multi-task specialists in the elite sense of it all..
Not going to happen at least in the near future anytime soon, our production costs are higher than Pepsi's right now. I talked with Roy about that just the other day actually specifically. Down the road when our volume increases, sure our production costs will go down. No, I do not work for ATTD or for a distributor, although using my 35+ years of industry experience and contacts, I am doing what I can to get the 'word' out there here in the midwest...currently, I am working on 3 big accounts for Phase III that cover 4 major markets..
I can tell you that Pepsi is charging retailers $27.60 a case invoice cost at store level for Muscle Milk. So look at what Muscle Milk sells for, look at what Phase III is selling for, should give you somewhat of a ball park idea regarding case costs..
I know what Walgreens is paying per case, and I know what we have quoted major accounts on a warehouse dc delivery(non dsd) per case also..which is about the same distributors pay if that helps...
lol beat...I do crunch the numbers somewhat..We're selling to distributors for less than 30 a case, in the other forum, I could let you know a little more...message me there, don't want to get into specifics here..
Untrue, distributors are getting it for less than 30 a case...I believe 400k is a little aggressive for this Q, We would be doing well to see 250-300k this time around, as an earlier post stated, only gets higher every Q from here...
Uncle Leroys pickup truck, please tell me I am reading that right...lol..sounds like Uncle Leroy needs money to buy a new truck...tell him to invest in ATTD, he'll be able to buy a whole fleet of trucks within time...ATTD !
I have personally talked with Pepsi people about Phase III, so I know for a fact they are aware of it..As projected, they are now promoting MusMilk a lot more in stores, via price cut sales..The Consumer Reports article hurt them, so they have gotten more aggressive with their pricing..I guess it is possible that they would consider Phase III, keep their current lock on this market share segment in tact so to speak..time will tell !
All the Super Bowl logo'd Bud's and Pepsi's sold in retailers this year were all aluminum come to think of it lol, and the new Bud Platinum released right before the Super Bowl is aluminum that I have seen, have not seen it available in glass in my area. I'm not a scientist, but I do believe that some byproducts of the petroleum industry are used in plastics, not saying they are used in foodservice plastics, I don't know the science, I believe the plastic bags used by retailers have a petroleum byproduct in them..higher oil prices mean higher production costs for plastics as an industry I would think...The snowball effect with this oil,higher prices at the pump aren't enough, throw in higher plastic bag prices, much higher delivery/transportation costs, all leading to higher food prices, etc etc etc..thats what we need here with Phase III, the snowball effect where the snowball it getting bigger not smaller...lol..I'm sure they are looking at this from every angle, they know the real value of what they have here, and one way or the other, they will achieve the goal in my view...when that happens is anybody's guess at this point, for me the product is too good to dismiss, I know it will sell in the midwest and nationally. It is a perfect fit right now for either Coke or the DrPepper/Snapple Group, no doubt about it..in my view, if either of them feel that Phase III can take some serious market share away from Pepsi, then Phase III is definately on the potential acquisition list for both..It is being watched to say the very least, especially by Pepsi.
Actually nowadays, I believe it is more cost effective to use aluminum over plastic. Miller and Anheuser Busch are slowly transforming their longneck market from glass,plastic, to aluminum.. At a ball game last summer,was in the Budweiser suite, and they served aluminum longnecks... It doesn't really feel like you are holding an aluminum can with Phase III at all. It feels totally different than for example holding a can of Coke..I'm not a milk drinker at all, and I loved Phase III. I would buy the vanilla, and the most important, would rebuy it. Just strictly to make a milk shake with. Last time I did Breyer's Natural Vanilla ice cream with some Phase III Vanilla and it was incredible. Next time I'm going to add some type of fruit, banana, blueberry, strawberry, lol not sure..good stuff, people would rebuy this product in my opinion, I know I would, For a product with more nutrional/vitamin content than any of it's competitor's, and tastes better than any of the same competitor's, it's only a matter of time before Phase III has solid market share here, and will continue to grow everyday. We will be into our 5th week showing NDA Wed., operational prs have slowed during most of the same time frame it seems...really not sure if they are somehow connected, time will tell !
Seeing some support come in here last 30 min or so, either a lot of short covering, or we might even have a pr coming this afternoon...
panic sellers for a stock that trades less than half a penny ? lol give me a break already...investor selling thats where your shares came from today, if people are panicing with something valued at less than half a penny, they need not quit their day jobs and stop trading securities immediately...lol
Restocking the shelf all from sales at regular retail, very positive for ATTD and Walgreen's. Retailers love it when they are selling their goods at regular shelf price, maximizing their margins.
Regarding some pricing issues I have seen raised here in Walgreens. Retailers price zone their stores by the demographics of the area. Higher more affluent income areas will see higher prices in their local stores, whereas lower income areas would see lower prices. Currently, Walgreens has no real competition from any of it's competitors for Phase III, so they seem to be happy taking full margin right now. Once Phase III hits one of their major competitors, they will be forced to promote the product more. They will no longer be the only game in town...
People said the same exact thing when Muscle Milk came out..this segment is growing, a little more out there now than just a few gyms..Retailers compete for as much as the onestop shop market consumer as they can grab, given their size and items carried. If Walgreen's is carrying a product, history teaches us that CVS soon will as well, etc etc..Walgreen's isn't it, more will be coming..Don't underestimate the revenue potential here..Revenue has a way of making debt disappear..been that way since I traded my first security 30 years ago..and that company still trades today..
Anything is possible with a startup, especially financial. If things get rough, they might have to consider a low ball buy out, that they might already have on the table, which I believe they could have on the table right now.
Where does revenue fit in to your scheme of things, or doesn't that count...
Inactive people buy beverages every day, so do active people. Compare the nutrition/vitamin content of Phase III to MusMilk, Slim Fast,Boost, Ensure,SpecK, any of them. Phase III blows them all away. That's the number one thing people are looking for in a nutritional drink, nutritional content. Calories are secondary, and given Phase III has almost 100% of everything, compared to any of it's competitors,has real milk, and 14.5oz compared to 14oz. And the best part, Phase III tastes better than any of them...You are talking about inactivity and calories, I guess I don't see the link there. Some people religiously look at calories, others never look at them. I am ultra allergic to onions, so I am forced to read the ingredients on a lot of things I buy. But never once have I ever read the calories. I am average weight for my height, have been lucky enough to never have weight issues. When someone makes a beverage purchase, they buy it because they like the way it tastes first and foremost..And if it has more nutrional content, they will pay more to get it, regardless of the calorie content. At this point in the still young market history of this segment, the consumers will welcome anything that tastes better than what is available to them today.
I'm working on the midwest..Have sent Roy some leads, and am working on more..I lived in the Chicago area for 50 years, I know a lot of industry people there.
It is a market screaming for a product that actually tastes good to Humans. It is a market with annual sales of over 23 billion dollars and still growing. It is a market with this segment: Slim Fast, Ensure, Boost, MuscleMilk,Special K,and they all taste subpar to Phase III. Thats a fact. Not sure what the beverage industry has to do with someone on a computer, maybe you can explain that, unless they are drinking a beverage while they are online.
Beverage industry is it's own kind of species so to speak...lol...I have seen a new beverage product sweep a market rapidly, almost 'fadlike', and I have seen the flipside. We are loyal creatures of habit to the beverages we drink. We drink Coke at our house, I would pay $3,$4 for a 12 pack of Coke, even if a 12 pack of Pepsi was $1, .50, free, I don't want it..But we will try new things, especially if we hear about it from someone else who thought it was great. We get some media support from the markets we are already in, in terms of a newspaper article, etc. the product could really take off. I would encourage anyone who already has Phase III selling in their local area to contact their local newspapers and let them know, they are always looking for great new stories to run, educating their readers about new things available in their community. Even local televised media news runs stories about new products. I have one tv station in my midwest market than runs a new item segment once a week. I know a couple people at that station who do the on air broadcasts, when Phase III hits my market, I know I can get them to run a spot on it..Look for some type of pr coming down soon regarding the new Real Deal marketing campaign announced in the NFL signing pr..
It wouldn't be very cost effective for an independently owned small store as you say, for example in Nevada. They would do well to get it at $40 a case including shipping, which would equate to about $3.33 cost per bottle. To achieve a 30% margin at everyday retail, they would have to sell it at somewhere around 4.29 or so a bottle. Even the best product in it's segment, which Phase III is, can price itself out of market share, especially given the current economy, gas prices, etc..A small business owner would do much better buying from a distributor, or even a wholesaler. Most small c-stores, gas stations, independently owned buy from wholesalers, the difference being a distributor tends to carry a certain product line segment, for example a beer distributor, they sell alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages strictly. A wholesaler sells almost everything except alcohol. Their top selling categories by far are cigarettes and candy. You can buy anything from a wholesaler ranging from a case of lettuce, to a case of Phase III if they stocked it. They are also referred to as wholesale distributors. If you have a friend who owns a small c-store business ask them to call their wholesaler and ask them to carry Phase III.
I know of at least one national chain who services their North Dakota stores from a midwest DC. We get a warehouse deal with that chain, and we're all over North Dakota. Roy has said warehouse deals are not out of the question. A national account, with in line plan o gram product placement would take the pps to .02 easily..that would be the best news we could see other than a buyout/merger offer. We start our 5th week this week showing NDA still on some sites..
We're not in all 800 Florida Walgreen's yet. We still have no announced distributor for the huge Orlando market. If we were in all 800 Walgreen's, estimating sales per store at 5 per day is high. We would love to have sales like that, but that is not going to happen at this point at everyday shelf price, and also depending on location in the store. At a sale price, 2/6 say, then your estimate of 5 per store is achievable. I checked some sales the other day in a CVS store I was at. In their inline coolers section, the shelf that had Muscle Milk in it had 5 rows on Rockstar next to it same shelf, store employee checked the sales for me, they can go back 4 weeks for any SKU in the store, unit sales by week using a handheld. The 5 rows of Rockstar had not even generated 20 sales combined, I believe there were 4 varieties. One of them had not sold one can in a month, and it was the one right next to MusMilk. Plenty of room for Phase III to be placed where it belongs, next to MusMlk..Just a matter of time before Phase III is authorized in CVS..And I know we have been talking with them...The big revenue comes from in line merchandising. 70% of all sales in any retail food or drug store come from 'off the shelf', in line, as opposed to the other 30% coming from other sources, mainly end cap displays, center aisle displays, etc...I have seen photos posted here where Phase III appeared to be merchandised in line, and other photos where it was not. These merchandising changes store to store can vary, given different square footage's of the stores. What I mean by in line is that Phase III is merchandised in the regular cooler section..Not in line would be a small cooler up front located at the end of the registers, or by the front door normally in a Walgreens or CVS...As crazy as it sounds, Phase III would sell better in the aisle where all the cooler doors are, rather than in a stand alone cooler right up front. I know this to be fact. I know there are people who post here who have bought it in a store, maybe they would share where it was being sold from in that store.
We're just starting out here, Phase III just getting it's feet wet, we haven't even been around the block yet..I will personally be gearing some efforts with contacts I have throughout the midwest in both the retail segment, and distributors I know, just on my own, regarding Phase III. I would encourage any long holder to write a letter to their local supermarket/drug store corporate office, requesting they begin to carry Phase III in their stores. If anything at all, it will force them to look at the product, even if it's only online, that they probably never heard of. Coke and Pepsi have both at one time or another have introduced new products in the marketplace, that have failed. Pepsi just released Pepsi Next, lower sugar product, just last week. We'll see how long it stays around. Just like with Phase III, if they buy it once, will they buy it again. Got to have repeat sales, a loyal following if you will, otherwise just say it's the bottom of the 9th, 2 out, 3/2 count, and Nolan Ryan is pitching to you...lol we all know who wins that game :)
Mudd, I don't pay to be a member here on IHub, so cannot message you back..Yes, I am still holding shares, I have posted here in the past, I plan on selling my shares either to Coke, or the DrPepperGroup whenever that happens, and eventually it will happen imo. I have also posted here that I take more money with me when I go to Vegas, than I have invested in ATTD. The pps at this point in the game means nothing to me at all. Operations will continue, and debt will be paid. I would be very concerned if operations were ceasing, but they are not. I talked with Roy just the other day. I thought it was very positive. We still have the best product in it's segment on the market right now, second to none. That hasn't changed, therefore long term, the price per share here will be a direct reflection of the success or failure of Phase III in the marketplace, it's just that simple..People can talk about chills, more auth. shares, reverse splits, etc etc etc all they want...In the beverage industry, the product and the consumer determine the utlimate destiny. I'm a long term investor here, I'm not a day trader. While, obviously I would like to see the pps going the other direction right now, we have not even started seeing any kind of pps increase due to revenue increase from the financials...stay tuned,that's coming..what got us up to the .004-.005 range was the Florida Walgreen's press release..for me, my years of experience in the beverage industry tell me this product will sell, consumers nationally will accept it and award it with a nice market share. I have posted here many times, and still stand by it, the consumer will have the final say whether or not Phase III is here to stay or not.
Please post the locations of these Walgreen's selling for 4.99..this needs to be verified and addressed...thanks..
What part of South Florida are these Walgreen's located ?
What part of Florida was the Walgreens at ? You walk in any Walgreens in the country, and I guarantee you there is a clerk working there who doesn't know every product that is carried in their store. So that is not surprising the clerk never heard of it, especially since it is a brand new product in the marketplace. The product is getting 5 star reviews on Amazon. I have tried MusMilk and Phase III, and I felt the opposite of you. I thought it was great, and I'm a Coke Drinker. I also tried Phase III Vanilla in a blender with some Breyers Nat Vanilla, and it was the best vanilla shake I ever had..I haven't seen one review where somebody said Muscle Milk(which contains no real milk)tasted better than Phase III. Phase III has way more nutrition/vitamin content than MusMlk, Boost, Ensure, Slim Fast,Kellogg's SpecK Shakes,compare the content on them all, I already have, Phase III beats them all, and is the only one that contains real milk. To me, that sounds like a very special product. If I didn't feel it was, I would of sold my shares a long time ago..I have been in the industry since 1970, I have seen many, many products come and go over the years. It really comes down to consumer acceptance/repeat sales. Anybody will try something once, as you did, you say you wouldn't buy it again. That's your personal preference. But based on the majority feeling I have seen so far, including my own personal view on how it tasted to me, my 40+ years of food and beverage industry experience, I believe consumers will accept Phase III, and it will develop it's own following, if you will. That process has already begun. A lot of differences of opinion on this board, as you said, you are in your DD stage, best of luck...
I got you're back Raaz..the pps has dropped, and for now anyway, the day trader shorts are winning...but the battle has only begun...we won't be down here forever..positive things are coming..it's just bothersome not to see more posts about Phase III from either side, afterall, if it wasn't for Phase III, none of us would be here being entertained on IHub...lol.., Phase III is bringing in the revenue, the consumer, not anybody who posts here, myself included, not anybody else at all, only the consumer will have the final say whether or not Phase III will pass or fail in the marketplace..nobody else..yesterdays pr guarantees future operations, gigantic for a startup in the beverage industry that is already gaining market share. It's a positive thing when you know a startup company you have an investment in is doing something that guarantees continued operations. The worry should start when they are going in the other direction and ceasing operations. Big difference...We have a market to capture here, and we will succeed. We have the product that can get it done...ATTD !
This isn't rocket science folks..The share price longterm here will reflect the success or failure of Phase III in the marketplace. That is a fact..Canfields, a local family owned beverage company out of Chicago, back in the 80's produced a Diet Chocolate Fudge drink. The Chicago Tribune had a big article about it in their paper. The product sold out everywhere in one day. Retailers were reordering hundreds of cases for each store, Canfields could not produce the product fast enough to meet the demand. Either you believe in the revenue potential here of Phase III, or you don't. There is no right or wrong answer at this point, it's all opinion here. Time will answer that question. If you don't, then either sell or don't buy, if you do, then stick around, future operations are now guaranteed with debt being payed through the increase in shares..It's when future operations are not guaranteed, that's when concerns should be raised...What percentage of the American public has no clue what Phase III even is ? Never heard of it ? 90% + ? We're just getting started, the best is yet to come, for those patient enough to wait..There is an old expression, he who laughs last, laughs best..I'll reserve my LOL's and LMAO's for another time..Potential annual revenue here at it's fullest potential can easily reach 500M++. The product is just that superior to anything in the marketplace right now.
It has been posted here many times, this is a long term investment,the exception being a buyout, which I still believe will happen in the future. Certainly nobody who posts here, no matter what your position, believes that 7 employees are going to take a product national. Not going to happen. You just don't call Walgreens, CVS, etc on the phone and say we have a great product and we want to sell it in your stores. It's not that easy, or that inexpensive. It takes a lot of time, effort and money to make that happen. Product presentations, demonstrations, test markets, major retailers don't make authorization decisions at the end of a one hour meeting. This whole process takes time, and more than 7 employees. Travel expenses, fuel expenses, etc..Given the maximum productivity that 7 people can produce, ATTD's 7 have far exceeded any type of expectations at this point with the position they have already developed in the marketplace. Because that's what this is all about, this is where the money is coming from. It's all about Phase III. Talk about chills, reverse splits,increase in the authorized, etc etc etc...what it comes down to is the product, and the revenue potential it has longterm. The share price longterm will reflect the market success or failure of Phase III. I would be curious to hear about anyone who has Phase III in their area have seen any 2/$5 sales. With the Consumer Reports article on MusMilk, this beverage segment is screaming for quality, and at the same or better price point. Phase III has both. A major chain will not be carrying some Ensure 6 pack items in the Diet/Nutriiton section anymore. Retailers will not keep products on the shelf that are not turning. They will replace them with something they believe will turn. Why didn't the consumer buy these products, because the taste is horrible. Phase III taste is second to none in this market segment right now. What does that equate to in terms of annual revenue? Take Muscle Milks annual sales estimate at 300M, currently Pepsi is selling MusMilk to retailers at a cost of a little over $27 a case. Do the math, 300M divided by $27...that is well in excess of 10 million cases a year, more like 12M, they are selling right now, and Phase III is a superior product in every way possible. With the cross marketing potential here, that Roy has talked about, Phase III could easily sell 15-20M cases probably more a year at it's fullest potential. If the numbers are there for Walgreens, they would give serious consideration to permanent placement in the diet/nutrition section for Phase III, and would be handled as a warehouse delivery direct to the regional DC's, rather than DSD. Do not underestimate the market share/revenue dollars available in that segment. We lack money and people right now. Start ups, especially in the beverage industry, require more capital than most can imagine, doing business in the beverage industry doesn't come cheap..That's why the market share is so essential, that's the payback..Sirius XM Radio had annual revenue last year of 3M, with an outstanding share total of 3.8B...stock closed yesterday at $2.26 a share..SIRI is living proof that a stock like ATTD can win in this market. Of course, these are all my opinions..GLTA ATTD

until a 3m sell came in @ 45 shortly thereafter...lol...looks like we are still under internal
It's still showing on Google Finance, still showing on Scotty under Cyclical Beverage/Non alcoholic...probably other sites also...
Couldn't agree more, great post, starting our 4th week now showing NDA...ATTD !
It's not this group of few that are holding us back, it's the MM's..Not one trader or small faction if you will here is bigger than ATTD or has any market control...Maybe some ego's are, that's about it..substancial news will come, financials will show dramatic revenue increases, maybe even more than anyone realizes. I'll stick around..The amount of money I have in this compared to the number of shares I control means nothing to me really..I bring more money with me when I go to Vegas than I have in this stock...It's more entertainment to me at this point...lol..and some of the posts I have read here are very entertaining..I'll reserve comment on this site and their TOS, they already know how I feel about that...ATTD !!
