Hey variant - I appreciate that response; we should be picking this stuff apart.
My take on BBDA - pre-Potencia acquisition - was it was an exceptionally profitable pk scam co. to trade. What I am comparing BBDA TODAY to is what it was just one week ago: a company with zero distribution (i'm not counting the Fla skate park, lol), zero retail, and zero revenue, run by someone who had zero background in the bev'g industry. Net: zero potential except as a PK play, which inevitably would end up at 0002 or thereabouts.
All of that changed last Thursday when Potencia acquired BBDA.
- NEW MGMT WITH PROVEN BEV’G PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT & DISTRIBUTION BACKGROUND ON BOARD
Proven what? Is it a successful product that's netting him millions? As a share holder, I would want the new CEO to be a successful entrepreneur. Thus far, he's raced cars and didn't do well, he's got a construction business and his web site is anything but professional, his VP tried to acquire Potencia which makes me wonder what the motive was for that. To date, he doesn't have a great track record but I'm hoping this new opportunity will change things.
Here is what's proven:
- Distribution channels across the U.S. currently in place
- Retail locations/shelf space currently in place
- A mgmt. team that developed the product, negotiated the distribution & retail agreements, & grew the business. In other words, a mgmt team that is demonstrably growing the business and not trying to make money by scamming investors w/ zero plans to actually execute the business plans. That's one of my main points. I mean, a Warren Buffet isn't going to suddenly take an interest in co. that's basically valued at next to nothing (BBDA at 0006) and try to grow it. But I'm THRILLED that Brian Weber and Daisy Fuentes or whatever her name is did! Shite man, they've only had the co. for less than a week at this point, but look at what they've brought: a PROVEN BACKGROUND in DEVELOPING a BEV'G PRODUCT, CLOSING DISTRIBUTION CONTRACTS, LAUNCHING THE PRODUCT in this very lucrative and growing niche in the bev'g industry.
That's what got peeps so excited about BBDA in the first place - the potential for this - when it first ran to 006. Now, here we are at 0006, with an actual product launch near-term (and not water). Do you really think we're staying here in the trip zero's? I don't! Not with real business infrastructure in place. That's what I think people are not quite catching onto yet. But I believe they will, and soon.
- KOMA'S IMMENENT RELEASE INTO EXISTANT DISTRIBUTION & RETAIL CHANNELS
Now here's a perfect example as to why BBDA's share prices haven't gone up. Since when does a company "Launch" a new product with a 2 day PR campaign and then when you go to the Bebida web site, there is no product information for it? That's a major red flag. Additionally, Ricardo Markarios is still the owner according to the contact page.
If Brian wants support from his share holders, he's got to show the world a product when he launches it.
When Koma is launched (and it is not yet, so I don't know what you're talking about) it will be through EXISTING DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS. We already know they can develop and launch a product, we already know they have distribution channels...now we get to see them do it with BBDA's KOMA. As for the other stuff, they just bought the company, which is presently valued at almost nothing, 6 days ago, lol.
- A CLEAR & IMMEDIATE PATH TO "REAL" BRAND DEVELOPMENT & REVENUE
That has yet to be shown.
To borrow a phrase from one of the ihub posters I see around...YOU ARE WRONG! (lol) There IS a path to brand dev. and revenue! It's already in place. In a sense, the hard initial work is done, in terms of getting the distribution and initial retail shelf space channels set up. What they do now is slide KOMA into the mix. This is what I mean by "path." Compared to where we [iwere, we are now MUCH MUCH closer to monetizing an actual BBDA product. With the Potencia business infrastructure already in place, 0006 is just not a sustainable pps, imho.
- STRONG EXPECTION OF MULTIPLE BUSINESS-BASED PR’S TO DRIVE BRAND & INVESTMENT INTEREST IN ADDITION TO PROBABLE COMPELLING TV EVENTS SUCH AS NASCAR, UFC/HARDY, ETC
Forget NASCAR -- from what I have read, he no longer owns or races for them. Even his web site www.brianweberracing.com has been abandoned. To date, he has quite a few business ventures but they all seem a bit sketchy. Potencia seems to be his (and his VPs) best creation which will hopefully open the doors for BBDA.
Forget NASCAR? LOL, why? Weber doesn't need to be racing the damn car to have product placement on one 'em! See the pictures of the NASCAR cars (?) with "Potencia" on them? Ok? Now, picture "KOMA" instead!
I will agree with you as soon as Brian get his priorities straight. I would have long sold my 15M shares but I do feel that something good may come out of this -- even if it is for short term.
End of day we're probably not that far apart on this then. Bottom-line: BBDA has gone to 006 and 0024 on nothing in the recent past. We now have the business infrastructure we've been screaming for for the past 6 months - to get us in the game for real. And when it happens, it's gonna happen FAST, and the peeps who flip and then want to drive the price down to 0002, will be left with their little profits, wondering if perhaps they should have held on for the massive profits that could have been theirs, if they had just looked at the obvious LEAP BBDA just made with this acquisition.
Sorry I've written so much. I got a few beers in the freezer that are in danger of exploding now, what the hell am i doing writing an essay?
