A few things:
Obee and JT, you guys just simply have to drop the Coffee Boost talk. Coffee Boost is not coming back. It was a nice idea but it turned out that VFizz was the much more successful brand and they decided to focus all their energy on that. I agree with their decision.
The other thing you guys still don't understand is the "giants in the shadows" giving up their stake. You really have to stop thinking that they just saw something they didn't like and decided to sell. THAT'S NOT HOW IT HAPPENED! This is how it most likely went down: Vanis intentionally sabotaged his own company to FORCE the "giants" to restructure their ownership. After all, Vanis is the CEO and MInerco owned the majority stake. That allowed Vanis to call the shots. He intentionally halted expansion of Vitamin Fizz and delayed the game changer account. We have proof of this because during that period, Vitamin Fizz was not in as many stores and the game changer obviously never happened. By sabotaging the company in that way, the owners had no choice but restructure in order for Vanis to not run Fizz completely into the ground. It was a ballsy move by Vanis. It took a lot of courage. But was it the right decision? Only time will tell... So please get it out of your head that the "giants" simply up and sold. That's just not what happened. And by the way they still get that 10% of future net profits which isn't a bad deal if VF makes it big. They will be getting a lot of free money for no work!
I do agree with you guys on Vanis being deceptive. He had us loyal MINErs believing all summer that the game changer was almost here. Yet all along he was halting progress of Fizz and the game changer. Like all of us, I was adding as many shares as I could over the summer based on the hype of the game changer. Only to be hit with a R/S and then be told weeks later that all along Vanis was actually ramping down expansion, not ramping up. That really did not sit well with me because Vanis did not play fair. He cost me a lot of money.
But as I said, 100% ownership going forward is beautiful and I've taken advantage of the low pps. As long as Vanis can deliver on his promises soon, all will be forgiven. I think the worst is completely behind us now. MINE on!
