Stock Email: Exciting Weekend! Sent June 13th

Hello All - hope you all had as much fun as I did watching your stocks this week... As the weekend is upon us, I wanted to send out an update on a few things. ARTI, BBDA and the launch of the Million Dollar March!

First off, ARTI - very happy with the last week or so for all of you that remain holding ARTI, or those of you just getting into this stock. It definitely looks like the time is now for the run in which we've all been expecting.

Having dropped to a low of .0020 on 06/05, ARTI closed out the week at a solid .0054 today, a gain of 170%! The most interesting thing to me, the news and happenings for ARTI get better and better. If you have been following ARTI, you already know, today, Saturday June 13th is ARTI's "Sizzling Summer Saturday" art extravaganza at the Company's 52,000 square foot Expo Center in Dallas, Texas. The event will take place from 11 am to 5 pm CST and will feature numerous artists as well as a live appearance by Sir Earl Toon, one of the original members of the pop group "Kool and the Gang." For a full version of this press release, click here: http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Artfest-International-Inc-1000575.html

I would fully expect a PR come Monday morning from ARTI announcing the success of this event, and look for this one to continue to rise. It is my belief that this is a "mini" ARTI run as the announcement of the Charity Sports Distributor is also due any day. My projection following that release is a peak in the .02 - .05 range.

Next up, BBDA - LOTS and LOTS going on with BBDA this weekend! This stock still remains a long term hold for me, however, the company is making lots of moves to get themselves both on store shelves and out in the public eye...

As you know, I ordered a 4-pack of Potencia last week. My son saw the Piranha Water in the fridge this afternoon, and after just allowing me to take a swig, proceeded to finish of the bottle and pose for a couple pictures... I think he wants next in line for a BBDA sponsorship deal!

Other pics were also posted today on the ihub board (not of my son) and can be viewed at: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=38678752

In other BBDA news, the "About Us" page of the http://bebidabeverages.com website was updated today, to remove ties of the old ownership which had previously been posted on http://bebidabeverages.com/about.html...

BBDA also has a VERY busy weekend ahead. On Monday, BBDA announced that they had renewed the contract of MMA fighter Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy (http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Bebida-Beverage-Company-1000753.html). Hardy will be fighting on June 13th in UFC 99 which is available on PPV. It should also be available on the internet on http://www.channelsurfing.net/ The PPV event airs at 3pm and 10pm EST, so try checking out that site sometime around then.
On Tuesday BBDA announced that a last minute sponsorship opportunity presented itself to BBDA to sponsor the #02 truck with driver Andy Ponstein for the upcoming Michigan Camping World Truck Series race (http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Bebida-Beverage-Company-1001365.html). Ponstein came in 29th in practice 1 timing and 30th in practice 2 timing today. Qualifying takes place today (Sat June 13th) at 9:30 am, and the race begins at 2pm EST and can be seen live on Speed TV!
Also today, BBDA will be present at NYC's 116th Street Festival, getting product infront of more than 1 Million visitors (http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&cb=1244868403&article=37664787&symbol=NO%5EBBDA). BBDA will have 6 sampling/selling booths spread throughout the hispanic-dominated 28 city blocks! Potencia and Piranha logos will adorn over 60,000 flyers, posters and advertisements for the event along with a 15-foot banner on a main stage set for performers...
BBDA sponsored NASCAR driver Dillon Oliver (and his car) will be included in the event, and Oliver will be signing autographs. A NASCAR car in a NYC Festival will surely create a crowd for Brian Weber and BBDA. I fully expect a press release early next week announcing the success of this event as well as the results from Ponstein in the Michigan 200 and Dan Hardy in UFC 99.
This will be followed next week by BBDA and Dillon Oliver in the Milwaukee Mile June 19th. This time he will make his second career start in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series behind the wheel of the Corrie Stott Racing Chevy Silverado. "After a fantastic 5th place finish in last month's ASA event it was an easy decision for Potencia & Piranha Water to back another event where Dillon can continue his career path toward the NASCAR Sprint Cup series," says Bebida CEO Brian Weber.

Lastly, the Million Dollar March (MDM) goes live this week! The team will begin looking at selections for our first play which will be announced prior to the market opening on June 29th. Any stocks that you wish for the team to look into for that week need to be posted on the message board (http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=15517) before midnight on Sunday (June 14th) as the initial stocks to watch list will be posted at that time. Feel free to include any links or DD that you have currently done on those stocks as this will help the team to make a more informed decision.
If you have yet to visit the board, please take a minute to do so, and while on ihub, please click "Add to Favorites" which is located right above the message board and also Sign up for 'Million Dollar March ' E-Mail List. Eventually, all MDM correspondence will go directly through that email list as many investors not on this list are planning to participate.
Hope you all have a great weekend! I will send out the regular stock picks email sometime Sunday evening and will include any updates on the many events going on for the two stocks above...
Happy Trading!
