Jack links beef jerky? That's the last sample I was handed, I've also been given redbull, rockstar at many other events. Not too sure if your logic is credible. I no longer hold here...
Too bad that was effective dec 2013....
nothing related to this current propaganda campaign your on...

Well, I did not do my research in depth as this is a non issue to me. That being said, when this moves forward if it does, I'd like to see what lab they used, how much aq and qc was done, the actual results etc. I can run anything through some tests and have numbers fall out my bottom too. Was there proper a proper calibration curve produced from their spectrometer? Was there any blinds etc. so much to discuss with you folks about the actual science behind it all, I'm not going to waste my time on it lol
However, I do wish I was still with my previous institution where I had access to a mass spectrometer to test it myself...
Guarentee that the people that the complainants didn't read the label properly and only tested 1 scoop lol. 40g of protein is pretty standard for a 2 scoop serving equalling 95 total grams or nearly 4oz of product.
That means it's 20g per scoop which is less than combat... I wouldn't be worried about this...
Sry I'm assuming your post is implying the products are not beneficial. Correct me if I am wrong.
Previously was a long/short equity analyst, and I'm guessing lost more than someone anticipated and got canned from a job... Looks like he graduated his polysci degree a mere 5 years ago... The deception continues... Dyodd lol
I think bell also comments on mp's Instagram photos lol @kingoftha? Similar comment I saw today while being a social media voyeur... " brad Selling 50% a few years etc etc..."
Lc,
Stock a and b and c you buy in jan.
In December- stock a is at 100% gain. It went from 5 to 10 per share.
Stock b was even...
Stock c was a dud, but think it may do better.
You want your profit from stock a but don't want to pay too much capital gain, so you sell your dud stock to offset the gain. You need to think people trade and cash out yearly.
Your march theory wouldn't work, because why would you sell so early in the year when you can make more, from your performing or non- performing stock. Essentially you can recover from your losses in the next 9 months, when in December it's slim odds.
Couldn't agree with you more expert,
It starts from the top. Brad needs a serious leash to show his employees and investors that he's willing to pay some dues to make his company grow
Well not that I don't care about this money, that's not what I meant. What I was trying to say was I have faith in my long term goals in regards to MSLP. I've sold and bought enough that the holdings in MSLP are strictly it's own profit. So if it doubles I'll be quite content.
As for why I believe in the company, ignoring the mgmt issues, I see the brand exploding in canada. I am not a professional athlete, nor am I a body builder. But I do take pride in my body and the work I put into it. Similar to washing a nice car and admiring it when finished. No I'm not a self indulged narcissist even though that's what it sounds like.
I'm in the gym or on the ice playing hockey every night.. And I see more and more people sporting mp shirts, shorts and supps everyday.
To support such a active lifestyle I eat every 3 hours, and to stuff chicken and rice into me every three hour isn't feasible which is why you "supplement" your diet.
A quick protein shake and I'm good to another full meal.
I've tried most brands and never stuck to one like this. I've seen their products work first hand. "Bulking" up to 230 pounds at the gym and then dropping to a cut 194 pounds with iron cuts and a strict diet and exercise plan. That's how these products work, with dedication in the gym, kitchen and having a goal. Fitness is a lifestyle, similar to being in a club. Not sure if this is relevant but whatever lol.
Just checked out mp on Facebook as well, same stuff posted as Instagram and Twitter.
I don't find the top 50 list to be an indicator of whether or not it's been a success. The fact that it's up there at some points is great. If we were basically only protein bars and not on that like is be worried. I bought a quest bar from my local sup shop after trying combat crunch and was appalled by the taste. I honestly threw it out.
And let's be serious here my position in this is minimal... I just like the products and believe mp will become one of the biggest companies in the sup industry
Go do some more ground work dd because your flippant statement "Looks like I was also wrong about the Combat Crunch launch being a big push for MP.Looks flat or worse." Has zero merit.
Tell me how flat looks to you? Peeking Into the CFOs window when looking at sales? Cause that's the only way one could provide a description of sales no one but insiders have seen.
This is speculation as no financials have been released with crunch bars included.
In regards to your social media inquiry;
Facebook may not have changed in your eyes, but I believe that mp uses Instagram, and Twitter more often. I don't even like them on Facebook... I don't like anyone on Facebook... I don't like Facebook. I'd say Facebook is changing. That's my opinion
Current reviews as well directly from consumers: Straight from bb.com. Funny I can't find the ones you are talking about on the first page where these are. The majority of others are 10/10 with no comments.
I honestly was not expecting much with this one either. I was doing Arnold's Blueprint at the time, and a buddy noticed the buy 1 get 1 special here at BB.com, so we jumped on it. I was really surprised by the flavor, the best penut butter cup I have tried so far (and I have been drinking whey for over 5 years). Taste: 9/10 Mixability: 10/10 Overall: 9.5/10 This stuff was really good!
Definitely one of my favorite post-workout proteins. It mixes well, even with two scoops. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the vanilla flavor; stick with peanut butter or plain chocolate.
I drink these Iron Whey shakes 2-3 times a day and they seem to really keep my body full between meals. Im a pretty active dude, so my body needs the extra protein and calories. Love the ingredients the dudes at MP put into this product.
Huge fan of Muscle Pharm and all of their products. This product has been a knock out of the park though. It has helped me put on lean mass, while avoiding putting on any extra fat.
Yes I agree, but at some point they will no longer need to dilute to finance. And even if they do, 13 million shares is chump change. Investing in a growing new company is Risky business, thats why you win big or lose big. Those who hop in when the financials are sound might appreciate 10 percent a year or whatever way the markets going...
Think about this, next year, if they put all spending on hold, no bonuses, no endorsements they just keep on selling. What will they quarterly results show? It will happen in time and some on this board will be crying even more than they were in 2012 when this was down to cents
Net sales 2013 110.9 million
Net sales for first 3 quarters of 2014 144.7 million
Have you ever heard of the saying you have to spend money to make money? Organic growth is always hard...
So in your world, how would one person claim that the product doesn't work? They would practically have to be a lab rat constantly monitoring anabolic/catabolic/metabolic rates, blood sugar levels etc. to have any defense against musclepharms claims with a fat burning product.
Shaking my head...
This statement found on MSLP's website pretty much negates any ability for those seeking legal action against their products performance. Look at the Asterisks. This is for info on the website, and am sure it applies to, or they have, a similar clause to protect their product labeling.

I'd we worried if they found a dead rat in the protein, not about some idiot wanting a pay-cheque because they took a pill to help their metabolism burn off copious amounts of mcdonalds and whoppers... Keep preaching the good news Codie
New combat crunch flavor to be launched January 1st according to CEO Brad.
I'd interpret this to be a good sign... Launch two flavors to see market interest, and if positive, add more variety. Something must positive with the crunch bars for them to be making more.
For those naysayers, I don't know how you can defend your position other than profit margins. But those will only increase with more being produced.
Thanks for the link.
However, I don't think this is a big issue. Sure there will be less screen time on shorts. But the big advertisements are on the floors of the octagon. It doesn't sound like those will be affected at all. Maybe this will save them some cash in the long run lol.
Bell,
All that I want to rebut with is diversification. Bb.com is not the be all end all. Where would you want your company to start out? On the shelves of generic retailers or specialty retailers like bb.com?
I believe it to be a strategy. Get your name out there on one of the biggest supplement retailers worldwide, then decrease reliance. The brand is becoming a staple in the supplement industry, why not try to broaden it's horizons with main stream retailers to increase shelf space to reach the general masses? It makes total sense to me.
Only time will tell... But looking at the charts, there seems to be a new high created, then it makes it's way to form a new bottom, and repeats with a rally to a new high etc...these are only my views on long term trends.
Where is this stated? I can't find any source that says that.
This stocks next two quarters will be outstanding in my mind. We will have some earnings from combat crunch and coco protein. The New Years resolutioners will be spending money on pills, powders and other products. We will have one time customers from walmart and have newly formed customers that will be repeat customers. This will only be a potential catalyst if there is no funny business from the guy in the chair giving out shares like soup in a soup kitchen.
Alright folks, so I work at a gym part time between my day job. It's unbelievable the amount of mp water bottles and tshirt are being worn. Each week it gets more crowded with mp swag.
Take what you will from that. But I'd say it's a company that's gaining traction.
I wonder what happened to Bells meeting....
Did hisfriends at costco laugh him out of the room? Must have been a riveting response since there has been so much discussion on it.
"The convictions set a significant precedent for the dietary supplement industry. Retailers have generally not been held liable for selling products manufactured by third-parties which contained illegal ingredients. The federal government made it clear that it will hold both retailers and manufacturers responsible for selling ingredients that violate dietary supplement regulations."
Key take home notes Codie:
-products manufactured by third parties which contained illegal ingredients
-set precedent for both retailer and manufacturer to be responsible for the selling of the ingredients.
Should I bold, underline, and use red text for everyone? That seems to be the way to hit home a point here...lol
Lol, with all the run around your doing to stop MSLP, I'd love to read your "book" to see if I can figure out what your motive is. Send me a copy since your obviously leaps and bounds ahead of me...in regards to monetary assets.
Where has your cannibalism theory gone? Maybe it's been lost due to the fact that all you do is surf bb.com looking at the top 50 products and noticed combat powder and iron whey numbers 11 and 12. How does one claim cannibalism when each product is runner up to the next?
You make valid points time to time, I'll give you that, but this one seems to be less valid as time passes. And please don't rebut with; your argument was with combat crunch, because as a seasoned investor like yourself,
You know to compare apples to apples (bars to bars and whey to wheys).
Or people are buying from other sources like costco, or other online retailers. I can personally say, I've been frequenting costco and supplement source.ca for my mp goods the past 3 months. Not bb.com
Iron whey is now in Canadian Walmart as well. 29.99 for a 1.5 pound tub of vanilla or chocolate. I was under the assumption it was only US stores.
He figured he would sell, take his profit, take the taxation even tho it's not considered long term anymore, and average down because there is going to be a MSLP apocalypse Monday.... Ha

Impressive. And yes I have invested in multiple companies that are not listed on OTC.
My question is why does his NFL career, or there lack of, matter. We all know he's not as savvy as other CEOs are. That's why this thing is stuck between 10 and 14. But the reality is, we can't do much about that. All we can do is ride the wave.
This thing will consist of boom and bust cycles, like anything else. Linear growth is non-existent. Maybe one day MSLP will obtain the proper guidance and we will all make some cake off this one.
Hey bell, you ever play in the nfl? /end conversation
Bell, have you ever bought these products? Because I have been for many years. I have a protein shake at 10, 4, and 9pm. If I can't find time to have a full meal I may eat a crunch bar. Now, the price per serving of the shake is less than the crunch, hense why, I opt to have more shakes than bars.
Now, I used to only get my combat whey from bb.com for 38 plus shipping and duties etc (I'm in canada). However, my local Costco now carries it. Now I buy it solely from costco. My point is you suggests it's cannibolization, when in reality, if someone is using the bars like I am the shakes, they would go broke fast and probably not obtain their fitness goals. They are meant for two different times and therefore should not be taking away much sales from eachother. The two times for the products being; morning, post workout and potentially prior to bed (in between large meals) and to replace a meal or as a sweet desert type of healthy snack (to fight away that craving you get daily when having a strict diet). The brackets are the products main reason to be taken or eaten.
Whey protein is an essential to any person athletic or just lifting or just trying to be healthy. They are not going to buy 36 servings per month of crunch and eat 3-4 a day. This isn't like any other companies you obviously know, because the products are not meant to be tangible and replace eachother 6 months down the road. They are a part of a meal plan or goal they have set. You can't apply mass psychology to this or your supposed crystal ball.
New 52 week high coming today... People are starting to believe in mgmt in my eyes.
No problem, sure we are all here to make our portfolios more attractive, but we are all human at the end of the day, and positive energy works wonders.
As for the k, it's not in relation to my name, just a different way to have my screen name "educator" as I'm a school science teacher, among many other things.
My names Marcus, been a long time reader and sporadic (if that) poster.
Congrats! Let's see some movement on this baby to let yours go to college. Long MSLP$
Look at carbohydrates and post recovery protein delivery, not specifically coconut water.
High intensity workouts drain your glycogen stores (which is glucose, or sugar, or carbs). Its been shown in multiple studies that eating high glycemic carbs after workouts rebuilds your muscle glycogen stores to aid in muscle recovery. High glycemic carbs being simple sugars which means they are being used immediatly. Low glycemic carbs are your pastas and sweet potatoes which are used slowly.
There are multiple academic studies... Google scholar doesn't often do the trick.
