My friendsaid that there were 8 well established companies selling 'power bars' for athetic pets at the show. BIG companies......Like Nutro, etc. Companies with established distribution and reps.
One of my buddies was at the Global Pet Expo in Orlando FL last week repping his company and I asked him to see if AAPT was there. They were, in booth #1984. He saw the whole group there huddled around a table. They didnt seem too friendly, especialy the older blond lady thats on has her photo on the website. He did talk to one of the guys that must be their sales guy because he said he was affable and smooth talking. My friend said that they had no pet food on display. He said that their sales guy told him that they no longer sell pet food but that they do doggy energy bars. They had some sort of liquid supplement ( I forgot the name and what it was, sorry) on display. He's in that field and he said that it is something that is incredibly cheap to make and doesnt work all too well and that there is a lot competition in that field. He didnt recognise any of them from prior shows so he wasnt sure if any of them had any classical animal nutrition background as that fied is very small.
ZOMBIE STOCK ticking.
If anyone has the address of the new Santa Monica office. It would be no trouble for me to swing by at take a photo to see if its not a vacant lot or a trailer.
that is quite a long line on that carrot.
Extremely OT: Anyone remember CSHD and Rufus Paul Harris????
I just recieved in the mail an announcement that the FBI, USPS and the Georgia B.I and the USDJ are procecuiting him and the top officers. I was named as a victim.........I hope they nail them to the wall.
It is a rather interesting letter with a return envelope with questions on how this stock effected me.........Going to be fun watching this unfold. Im sure some of you got the same letter.
too funny
YEP! talked to the FL buyer......Just what I suspected....
I'm at a food trade show right now on the east coast and I am going to talk to the main Food Lion buyer about AAPT in a few minutes and I am going to see how things are working out......

nope sorry, not even....just because I raise questions doesnt mean im shorting.......youra funny guy.
no you dont,,,,,,,you really have no idea...
come on dive baby DIVE!!!! please go back to .60 cents!
Wow, I read their "so-called" financials last night. The top dogs (try to)pay themselves $212K/yr but since they dont have enough income from the lack of incoming sales and out going costs. They have to sell stock to cover their income. So, those that bought stock. You paid them to cover their income gap.....nice. I dont know of anyone in the animal food biz that makes that kind of salary. The only ones that do work for Conagra or Purina. definetly not on the same level.
Thier whole business plan is crap. They need to focus on the small pet stores. Then they won't have to apy $180K in slotting fees because pet stores dont do that.
They need to get hooked up with a sales group like Mello sales and go that route. It would be cheaper and more profitable. ALso, cutting 100K off their salaries would be prudent also.
Does anyone know who their animal nutritionist is?
I just re-did my figures. To attend a show like SuperZoo and to factor in all of the added costs your looking at $3500-$4200. But if they are in 20,000 stores that should be a drop in the bucket for this company.
Actually attending a trade show is quite cheap.
10'x10'Booth, hotel, food, plane ride costs about $2,500.00
I am attending one right now for the food,supplement industry. SuperZOO is even a little bit cheaper. Ive been to that one.
You dont need a massive 40'x40' booth.
As big and bigger companies than Foodlion attend that show.
Also, trade shows are perfect places to get word out to online vendors and pet store chains. For real growth in the animal biz you need to look at all revenue streams. See, you need to court the distributors (Necessary evil) as most pet store owners will not order directly because they dont have the time to deal with individual companies. Its typical to have a 300% growth in sales right after attending these pet shows.
WHy didn't these guys exhibit at SuperZOO last week in Vegas? Thats the biggest B2B pet products show on the west coast. Or GLobal Pet Expo in Orlando which is the largest B2B in America.
I just checked and they never exhibit. In the pet products industry its mandatory to exhibit since all of the big retailers go there to look for new products and conduct deals.
im waiting. i dont think the crap has hit the fan yet.
I am hoping ggp drops to single dollar range.Because I know that it will spring back
CANA got a mention in a WSJ online article.

wow, im surprised as the rebound so far. A bit longer lasting than your standard dead cat bounce....I hope it lasts/
Don't everyone trade at once now.
perhaps I am being too kind.....but thats me. Mr. Kind.
5 bucks? try 1 or under tomorrow.
Nope, if you have an android phone. you will see the beta program under music in the android marketplace. I downloaded it yesterday. Its very buggy.
ssssssssssssssssssssss....thats the sound of the air escaping from the LEXG balloon.
I downloaded the app to my phone......Boy, its really buggy, It crashes nearly everytime I open it. It feels like Google hired some Microsoft programmers for this thing.
This balloon is losing it's air.
Ultrasonic Cavitation is just a fancy way of saying FART.....
......My mom is so proud of me.....
Could this play be dying out? When ever I see a intraday chart like this it shows me that people are trying to get out faster and that not enough new people or flippers are at the other end of the equation....discuss amoungst yourselves
Like a rock.
really? eighty cents? typo? or shorter?
It's not the 1st stock nor will it be thelast one that i have missed.
I missed the boat on this one....damn! could a MM please a pull a bear raid and pull this down to .07........thanks
wow,,,so why did this stock explode?
thats a good front page....tout its successes....good for them.
Are we rich yet?
Its called trading....when a email blast touting a stock goes off in a tasty sector such asthis. Those that tout,,,,,,GET OUT!...now everyone else is ,,,it is a FRIDAY..
The big sell is on......good time to flip tomorrow
