Good-morning traders,
Just out of curiosity, why is anyone in their right mind trading this company? For those of you who don't know, there is a "STOP" sign on this company on the OTC markets website (http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/srge/quote).
I'm not saying anyone should panic, and I'm not recommending anyone stop trading, but am wondering why anyone would risk trading it if at any moment the SEC can suspend trading it? Could someone please let me know the rationale behind trading a company with a "STOP" sign on it? If there is good rationale, I might start trading it too.
Thanks for any information in advance.

Hey Traders,
Taking a brief lunch break. In addition to the things I mentioned in my previous post, for those of you interested in investing here you should be aware that there is currently a "Yield" sign on BBDA. Supposedly the sign is supposed to come down since Brian filed the lawyer letter, but just a heads up that it is not currently down.

READ THIS BEFORE YOU INVEST
I wrote this last night but am posting it again this morning, with a few changes, for all new investors. No doubt the quick rise in share price yesterday attracted some folks. Welcome to BBDA. There are some things you should know about this company and stock. I write this because if I was thinking about investing here at this price per share I would want someone to inform me about the big ticket things to watch for regarding BBDA.
I've been, and still am, a staunch supporter of BBDA since the moment I invested. I bought in at triple zeros and so have nothing to lose when it comes to money, and nothing to gain by what I'm about to post. I've been listening to the cheerleaders speculate about the price per share rising to 3 or 4 cents, and I've heard the skeptics predict triple zeros again, but I think we'll be somewhere in the middle for a while. However, it may tank to triple zeros (it has in the past) and it may rise back to .018, but regardless, the price per share just cannot be predicted; only one thing can be predicted, and that is the price of this stock will remain unpredictable and unstable at this point.
I'm writing this post to give a word of caution/information to investors who are entering into BBDA for the first time, or are buying a huge number of shares at the current price per share. I'm as adamant a supporter of this company as any, but I would suggest approaching this stock with great sobriety at the current price per share (above .01) due to the following:
1. The float on this stock is about 2.3 billion shares. The sheer number of outstanding shares, and the sheer number of short-term investors still hanging around this stock, is going to make it hard for this stock to go anywhere significant in the near future absent major PR's. Too many people dump on bad news and sell quickly on good news. If you are able to free up money for the next 2-3 years, then this stock may be a good investment (and maybe not); if not you should think twice before investing.
2. Koma Unwind is selling in Walmart, but it is not "flying off the shelves" at Walmart. Don't take my word for it; call each and every Walmart in South Carolina for yourselves. I've called about 45 of them and the consistent message I received was that it is selling, but not very well. When I asked the customer service reps and grocery clerks who stock it why it is not selling all that well, many of them said the price is too high; many others said it is because of lack of marketing. Only 3 stores told me Koma Unwind is selling well in their store. As per message from Brian Weber, the Walmarts are doing a "reset" of Koma Unwind (meaning a "reload") before they run the commercials. This suggests that Walmart sees potential with selling Koma Unwind, but that they also realize it needs some marketing help (i.e. commercials!). This is strictly my opinion, but it seems to me that the jury is still out on whether or not Koma Unwind will stay in Walmarts. I hope Koma starts selling like hotcakes in Walmart, but at this point you should exercise some caution...it's not currently selling like hotcakes according to the customer service representatives and grocery clerks I talked to on the phone. Again, call them yourselves; call at least 30 of them to get a good sampling. Whatever you do with the stock, be careful.
3. Nearly the entire near future of BBDA hangs on Walmart; if Walmart fails then this stock price is gonna crash. There are some people who assume that because Koma Unwind is in CEFCO and other convenience stores the brand is taking off, and I would be the last to diminish Koma Unwind's presence in convenience stores. All I am saying is that the current price per share is not built on these convenience stores; the current price per share is built primarily upon Walmart and other speculations, so please don't be fooled by people who are trying to get you hyped up by taking pictures of the product in convenience stores. The product is there, but that is beside the point. The current price per share is built on the following contingencies (speculations):
a. That Koma Unwind will remain in the South Carolina Walmarts long-term, guaranteed, never to leave.
b. That Koma Unwind will expand into Walmarts in other states en masse.
c. That a share buyback will take place later on this year or early next year, somehow.
d. That a deal "10 times bigger" than Walmart will happen in Europe and Asia.
e. That this company will remain a publicly traded company and not privatize (Brian Weber has hinted that he may eventually take this company private).
These speculations may one day become reality, but please be informed that right now they are not a guaranteed reality, and are at most only a promise made but not yet fulfilled. And again, for those unaware about the permanent state of Koma Unwind in Walmart, the jury is still out. I'm not telling you to invest or uninvest, but only telling you to invest accordingly.
5. The financials of BBDA are unaudited, and the CEO, Brian Weber, for whom I have much respect, has stated they will not be audited until early next year (2013). Again, I'm not bashing BBDA, Koma, or Brian Weber, for I highly support all of them, and I'm on my 4th case of Koma Unwind (I love the stuff!). I AM telling you this so you can make a sober-minded decision about investing in this company right now at the current price (above .01). Anyone who took Accounting 101 in high school can read between the lines here...
Again, you'll be hard pressed to find a more supportive investor of this stock than myself. I've made well over $100,000 on the stock so far, but I was in at triple zeros when the risk was lower. But as I look at the current price per share and the precarious nature of Koma Unwind's future in Walmart and other places, I feel compelled to inform those who want to invest at the current price per share to be cautious. If the current price per share was between .005 and .008 I wouldn't say anything because I think that would be a more sober-minded trading price given the unsureties hanging in the air at this point.
As always, GLTA. I don't want to see investors lose their hats. We'll know a lot more in a few months; right now we don't know much at all. THis stock, then, is very risky; very little public transparency. And if you like a big risk, then ignore this entire post!
Finally, ignore the emotional appeals on this board. Lots of pumpers and hypers pushing this thing hard (a lot of them have made tons of money already and want to make more; they want to retire early) and lots of angry people who've lost a lot of money trading BBDA in the past. But there are some level-headed folks conveying information with the big picture in mind. And if you are wondering what the big picture is, go back up and read the five contingencies (speculations). Keep your eyes on these, for they are the big ticket items which will dictate major changes in the price per share at this point.
Happy Trading.
Good day to all,
As you know I've been, and still am, a staunch supporter of BBDA since the moment I invested. I bought in at triple zeros and so have nothing to lose when it comes to money, and nothing to gain by what I'm about to post. I've been listening to the cheerleaders speculate about the price per share rising to 3 or 4 cents, and I've heard the skeptics predict triple zeros again, but I think we'll be somewhere in the middle for a while. But regardles, the price per share just cannot be predicted; only one thing can be predicted, and that is the price of this stock will remain unpredictable and unstable at this point.
I'm writing this post to give a word of caution/information to investors who are entering into BBDA for the first time, or are buying a huge number of shares at the current price per share.

Too many people dump on bad news and sell quickly on good news. If you are able to free up money for the next 2-3 years, then this stock is probably a good investment; if not, you might be spinning your wheels here.
2. Koma Unwind is selling in Walmart, but it is not "flying off the shelves" at Walmart. Don't take my word for it; call each and every Walmart in South Carolina for yourselves. I've called about 45 of them and the consistent message I received was that it is selling, but not very well.

Again, call them yourselves; call at least 30 of them to get a good sampling. Whatever you do with the stock, be careful.
3. Nearly the entire near future of BBDA hangs on Walmart; if Walmart fails then this stock price is gonna crash. It may rise again in the future, but it would stay crashed for quite a while until a new major distributor was landed. I would be remiss to speculate about Koma Unwind's future success in Walmart, but one thing we do know: if Walmart does not continue to carry Koma Unwind in South Carolina, this stock will plummet. If,however, Koma Unwind continues to be carried, and starts to "fly off the shelves" in Walmarts in SC and other states, the price per share will react accordingly. Again, for those unaware about the permanent state of Koma Unwind in Walmart, the jury is still out. I'm not telling you to invest or uninvest, but only telling you to invest accordingly.
4. If the stock price was trading at the company's current value (let's estimate high; say the current value is 4 million), then if you do the math, the current price per share value is about .0018 (4 million dollars divided by 2.3 billion shares) The current stock price, then, is built upon some pretty significant speculation. THis is not entirely unusual, but is something you should be aware of. FYI, the speculation which the current stock price is built on is the following:
a. That Koma Unwind will remain in the South Carolina Walmarts long-term, guaranteed.
b. That Koma Unwind will expand into Walmarts in other states.
c. That a share buyback will take place later on this year or early next year.
d. That a deal "10 times bigger" than Walmart will happen in Europe and Asia.
These speculations may one day become reality, but please be informed that right now they are not a guaranteed reality, and are at most only a promise made but not yet fulfilled.

I AM telling you this so you can make a sober-minded decision about investing in this company right now at the current price (above .01).
These may all happen, but it has not yet been proven these will happen. Again, this is purely for your information so you can make a wise investment choice.
Again, you'll be hard pressed to find a more supportive investor of this stock than myself. I've made well over $100,000 on the stock so far. But as I look at the current price per share and the precarious nature of Koma Unwind's future in Walmart and other places, I feel compelled to inform those who want to invest at the current price per share to be cautious.

Taking a lunch break now, and noticed the share price up. Hope you guys who just bought in know what you're doing...be aware that the currently high price is not supported by volume. Just don't want you guys buying up shares while it's high when it may correct itself in the next week due to absence of major news.
I cannot open the document; do you mind posting it? And what does it mean? Is this good news or bad news for the company right now? Thanks for your response.
Continued to head down? Are you kidding me? Do your charts go back any farther than 2 days? Take a look at a 3-month chart or a 6-month chart! Seriously...please answer this question: "Are you unaware of where this stock has come from in the past 3 months? And if you are aware, how can you predict it is going to head down?" (simple answer: you can't predict it, so please stop predicting it!) Your post is propaganda, not fact. No one can see in the future what this stock price will be.
For what it's worth, between my family and friends I can vouch for about 100 million shares which are going to be held onto long term. Some investors may come and go, but the majority are holding for big news.
If you are wondering about the share price and where it will go, no one really knows, but keep a couple things in mind:
1. There is huge news planned to be announced in the coming month(s) about Walmart expansion into 150 more stores (suggesting North Carolina as per email to me from Brian Weber), the European/Asia deal with according to the CEO is 10 times bigger than the Walmart news, the T.V. commercial to air in South Carolina, and the buyback which he stated he is going to do NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT COSTS HIM (he acknowledged it will cost him a lot!).
2. The vast majority of people are holding onto their shares. Take a look at the volume of shares traded most recently when the price went down a little. Keep the big picture in mind folks: if only 50 million shares are traded in a day, that means 2.15 billion shares were held onto by those going long! Even if 100 million shares are traded in a day's time, there are still 2.1 billion shares being held onto. This should help you avoid panic selling and getting thrown off-guard by all the negative press on IHUB. If 600 million shares are traded in a day then that is something to take notice of!

Roll on BBDA!
I just bought $30,000 worth of shares today and am going to buy some more tomorrow...so I am greatly confused by your claims that this stock is "chilled." I bought shares today just like I've bought my previous 20 million shares in months past...there is no difference between buying today and buying 10 months ago as far as I can tell. What do you mean when you say the stock is chilled? Because if by "chilled" you simply mean fewer shares are traded, then you should stop using the word "chilled." Fewer shares are being traded because everyone is hanging onto their shares until big news hits and beyond. That's not a chill; that's good investing, commonly called patience.
There are no plans for a reverse split. There are only plans for a share buyback. Where has anyone from BBDA said a reverse split would take place?
I posted the website address at the beginning of the post.
Brian is nearly always out of town in meetings and promotions for the product, so it would be no surprise that he might dictate over the phone to the web administrator what he wants written. Brian is not always around a computer, nor does he keep track of the stock price...he's out working so you have to be patient with him.
Go BBDA!
FYI: Very Good & Breaking News Today, August 23, from Brian Weber, CEO of BeBevCo

Message from the CEO 23 August 2012
by ADMIN on AUGUST 23, 2012
The Company isn’t selling any more stock. So, the markets are on their own; this is a speculative market. I can’t change that. We will be doing audits when we get to that point; probably be by the end of the year at the same time we decided how and how much to start our buy back.
As far as Blogs & IHUB: I have said it a hundred times; if the investors we have use these forums for their DD, I can’t change that. We have an open door policy when it comes to investor visitors. We are growing faster and faster every day. I will not engage in a battle with those who hide behind a veil of secrecy, nor will I spend our resources trying to fight them. They are a band of organized criminals, and it is the FEDs job to regulate.
As far as distributors, we have had and always will have those who come, and those who go. Most of them haven’t even been announced. Mainly because too many times, annoying unproductive calls from claimed shareholders have caused us irreparable harm and it has been costly in some cases.
I can tell you this: There has never been an announced distributor that didn’t have a trial distribution, exclusive contract, partnership or some level of commitment to us at some level.
I can also tell you, I deal with senior level people that sometimes take months to get these deals implemented (this is often the case). Heck, with Walgreens its taken years, but we do have our vendor number.
In the first year and a half, we had to beat down doors on the distribution; but now they are beating ours down. This is why I have no time to discuss this at length…
As far as DLR, it has been public info forever. DLR owns all the marks, DLR is a private company with 30% of its equity owned by Bebida Beverage. IT MAKES $1.00 per year and has licensed all the products, including the long established and profitable Potencia Brands to Bebida Beverage. (I could easily have kept it separate). EVERY contract is with Bebida Beverage Company; including manufacturing, raw materials, production, distribution, shipping, marketing, etc.
Bebida Beverage Co owns 100% equity of BeBevCo Holdings, which owns our facility & transportation (trucks)…
ALTHOUGH not complete, Bebida Beverage Co Euro- ASIA will be a Slovak Co… (private, not public) It will be 30% owned by USA Bebida Beverage Co. That entity will buy all of the drinks for the planet from Bebida Beverage co USA. These two entities will basically split the margin; USA will get profit for production and shipping (about 50% profit). BeBevCo EA will get about 50% for marketing and brand management throughout the continent.
In closing, I am the only CEO speaking at Global Beverage Conferences about the rapidly expanding category of relaxation drinks. We are the first and only relaxation drink chosen by Walmart. We have grown over 100% in Q-3 over Q-2…
The stock like the ocean will settle; if it goes down it’s a buyer’s opportunity, if it goes up it’s a seller’s opportunity. I guess it really comes down to where somebody wants to be… I believe I have proven that we won’t be outworked, we cleaned up an enormous mess of this company and we have the best product in the world. I don’t have the luxury or the desire to get out… We are on a path to hundreds of millions of dollars in business and that’s where I’m looking.

So far this is about the most encouraging day of trading I have seen in a while. The price is very consistent and people are not trading in massive volumes. This is very good news for BBDA. Strong support at these levels.
Well, for you and any other conspiracy theorists, if you need the truth, that 21 million bid at .0045 was me. I already had 19.9 million shares but decided that at .0045 it would be a good idea to pick up another 20 million. So I waited until it was at rock bottom then put in my bid beginning at about .0045. I didn't get all my shares at that price; the millions of shares I bought averaged about .006 until all my money was spent. Needless to say life is grand; I own even more shares, and I'm holding my new found stash of shares long, as usual. Go BBDA!
Isn't that interesting; I respectfully disagree. My wife and I, deciding to do our own DD, just got off the phone with 16 Walmarts in SC, called randomly, and they said the stuff is selling.
There is no dilution here! If you're going to throw out random comments to scare people, then go away. Those of us who are heavily invested for the long term are just plain tired of hearing all the negative rhetoric...please find a hobby other than bashing a stock that for some reason you want to go thru the floor: woodworking, playing with kids, riding bike, reading...anything.
Business as usual with BeBevCo: I love it! They're getting so much product out there it will be impossible to stop this thing. I, for one, am greatly encouraged by the consistent, week by week, hard work of the BeBevCo staff. They deserve our support; they certainly have mine:

Profit takers took profits today. That's good and right. A new base was formed. Tomorrow we start afresh with a new base. The Euro-Asia deal is soon to be announced and, as Brian said, the buyback of shares is going to happen later this year. This product is hitting the shelves everywhere and in my own local context retailers are starting to ask for Koma to roll-out to their stores. All indications are that this product is a great long-term investment. If you're staying long, relax. Tomorrow should be a great day of purchasing, IMO, by those comfortable with the new base.
Thank you much.
Can anyone please let me know where to find the Q2 financials online? I have no idea where to find them and would like to view them. Thanks in advance for your help.
Can anyone tell me where I can find the Q2 financial reports? Are they available online yet? If so, where? Thanks in advance for any help.
Hey George,
I understand what you are saying, and I don't disagree with you at all. The reason I'm not going to sell a single share before January 10, 2013 (and might not even sell any then), is because I'd have to pay 30% on capital gains; this is also the reason flipping the stock during intraday trading appears unwise to me: if you sell high and buy low you may have more shares, but you also have "realized" taxable gain. The payoff isn't worth it.
Also, for those of us who are long-term investors we don't really care what the PPS does in one month, or even one week, let alone in one day. We're looking years down the road, not days or weeks. The small fluctuations simply don't matter much to a long-term investor. I think the difference between you and others on this board is one of perspective: your perspective is fundamentally different than mine is: I don't care what the charts say short term, but only what the company direction is long-term.
Thanks for the information. You may be right. I respectfully disagree with you at this point and think you're wrong, but since none of us can see into the future, and only hingsight is 20-20, all we have here is a difference of opinions.
But regardless of who is right, and only time will tell, how many times do you have to repeat the same thing over and over? We heard you the first time; if we want to hear your opinion again we can re-read your initial post. Do you have anything to say which you have not already said?
LOLaughs! My wife knows where its at. She also knows that though it may go through the roof, it may also tank. It's completely out of our hands. Money can't save us, or deliver us from the grave on the Last Day, so though it may be useful for some things, it is of very little use for ultimate things of eternal significance. I'm only allowed 3 posts a day, so can't respond after this post. Talk with you next week. Good night.
I suppose its a bit odd, but since I don't plan to sell any shares in the next year there is no reason for me to check it more often. With my wife, 4 young children, and about 60hours of work a week, I don't have much time to check it out. Besides, I'd probably have a stomach ulcer by now if I checked it any more often :)! All I know is I LOVE Koma Unwind; the stuff tastes great and works even better! Been through multiple cases.
In at about .0006 with 19 million shares; never flipped; holding long; buying another million tomorrow. Usually check the stock once a week on Friday night...needless to say I've been very surprised the past few Friday nights!
Well said! I don't think this truth can be conveyed too strongly...Investor Hub participants are just a fraction of the spenders. The big spenders are outside the IHUB conversation, and are slowly holding a greater percentage of BBDA shares. At this point flippers may gain 1 or 2 million shares on a good flip, but what is that compared to the hundreds of millions of shares long-term, outside investors are purchasing and not letting go of? Nothing in comparison...
You are exactly right when you say a lot of people not associated with IHUB are pouring in money daily. I can personally account for over 100 million shares of BBDA currently owned by people (myself, my family, and my friends) who have never heard of IHUB, and people who are holding their shares long-term beyond the buyback. I never heard of Investor Hub until 3 weeks ago, and finally became a member last night. Also, "pump-and-dump" and "unloading" language no longer scares me...there are far too many of us who own a substantial amount of shares and are holding them for the long haul. The pumpers and dumpers may have a few hundred million or so shares to manipulate, but BBDA's price is no longer drastically affected by them. There just aren't, at this point, enough shares owned by pumpers and dumpers to drastically affect the PPS; a huge amount of shares are owned by people interested in Brian Weber, Koma Unwind, and the long-term future of the company. This is greatly encouraging.
Not quite, but close: 34 years old with 19.2 million shares. Do you have any words of wisdom for a newbie who emptied his savings (~$12,000) to purchase 19 million shares at .0006 earlier this year? I plan to sell 1 million shares if PPS hits .055, and maybe another 1 million shares if PPS hits .1. Beyond that I plan to hold onto the rest until after the buyback occurs as I'm interested in this company for the long haul (at least 2-5 years). I plan to purchase another 1 million shares this week Friday, no matter the price.
