Lets try this again... (i have never been able to get a post to stick to this board, as it seems my opinions/comments are always rolling over someones feelings)
Good job Chase_rr for pointing out one huge point, that Larry has HUGE distribution relationships all across the United States...(hint:mostly on the eastern seaboard)... it is funny when the stock ran on the news of the newest pinnacle distributor who is like a mighty mite popwarner football player standing next to a pro football player in $ of total distribution like Atlas is...(they are huge, and private, so their numbers are confidential, but anyone in the beverage industry knows Atlas is connected to some other powerful beverage distributors too and are 300lb gorillas in the beverage distribution world)... Atlas isnt the only player who Larry has out there too... lets see if you all can find the rest of them... lets make this a game like the hat trick bashers are making it as they dig up any dirt on any of the leadership for this company... good job on the dirt too, it has been interesting/entertaining reading...
My opinion on the new guys is on the sideline at this time, but if the new guys in charge would really let Larry take the ball and run and support his efforts completely and give him the resources he needs, and take care of the BS on the publicity/legal/accounting side of things, then Larry could do what he does best... make drinks and sell them...(by the way, we should all know that Larry is the hero who is putting all these new beverage distributions in place, not the new guys... they are only focused on the coffee vending stuff which i am waiting to see how/when their efforts add to the bottom line of the financials) Larry has totally shut me down on telling me anything, but those of us who have been around a while can connect the dots and do the math... the only way the numbers could come in that low last quarter, is if sales stopped, product stopped being produced, sales are not being recognized, or some "other" corporate strategy is being implemented...
good luck to all who have been in the game for years now, not the rookies with the big attitudes who are now getting playing time on the message board...
lets see if this message stays on the field or i get the axe again...
