Hi kayakzz, I understand your concern...
If you have been in this stock since 08-09, you must have taken some pretty horrendous losses.
I hope you weren't invested in 2009 or you probably would have to hold your investment or pull out for a loss, but the truth is you would have to trust the new company and the new and more experienced management. I have done quite a lot of dd on this company, I have talked to the company as a matter fact and to a lot of investors that have been in contact with the company much longer than me, including someone that invested back in 2009. EVERYONE, EVERY SINGLE PERSON have a similar view about the company and where it currently stands. A fact is logistically is in a much better position that how it was back then (PPS was $2 at some point), in which restructuring was the reason of going dark for few years. Restructuring has been accomplished and it's finally profitable with very low operational expenses.
The problem is without any public filings that are sworn to, with criminal and civil penalties forcing honesty, how do you know the truth from a lie? Margrit says she sold 50K bottles in 2014, how can you gauge if that is true.
99% of penny stocks are the same, so what is new? Form 15s, Pink Sheet, etc. In that case, you will have to trust the company, email them, call them. They usually are pretty quick responding. Even audited companies can lie. I mean, take for instance PH#T, A#GY all the way to ENRON, World Com. So, Audited financials or sworn in docs can't always cut it. Therefore, seeing someone in a video such as Money TV, might cut it for now. I know Marani Brands haven't been the best at forecasting certain events, but in reality, they have come through 100% sooner or later. Another fact, they predicted the product being at COSTCO the second week of June, they actually were earlier by few days. The container shipment arrived 2 weeks prior of what they projected. So, what cuts it for me its seeing the product at multiple COSTCOs its a fact that the company is actually doing something... Where many penny stocks with a much larger float that have no product for sale yet have a much higher PPS.
On top of that, shouldn't the focus of the company be selling vodka. Why do they focus on Money TV and Facebook to boost shareholder interest? There is only one possible reason they would bother with that. They are either directly or indirectly selling shares. It is the only possible reason.
Well, that's 100% your own speculative opinion, it is not a fact. IMO they use Social Media because that is one of the best ways to create marketing and awareness, Ps, I mean, you forgot twitter as well.
Last financials show a very light increase of the O/S. 6.5M shares (No Big deal at all). The A/S remained 700M in which is considerable a fairly small float. Heck, they even show revenues for one week of sales.
I invest in this company because I trust my DD, thats it. If they need to sell shares within a reasonable amount in order to execute certain logistics, then let them do it. They will make me more money in the long run. I rather that, than getting into toxic financing such as ASHER, etc.
Good luck and hope this clarifies some of your concerns.
