That sounds like two worn out mediocre club fighters who are both on the ropes with no gas left in the tank. NPHC can get money in a private placement - not Rik's last promise to investors, but nonetheless a viable option. Frank has to pull a Rocky Balboa.
All possible, but not the stuff of investing. More like gambling.
Realizing that Cobroxin is in the hands of an undercapitalized marketing firm that has not executed well, does one have any doubt that a top flight firm with the right amount of know how and capital would be able to give Cobroxin a real shot at success?
Frank has to be as smart as then undercapitalized Red Bull was many years ago when they used unconventional methods to get Red Bull on the map by gaiining cult status. I am very familiar with that situation because I was "editor in chief aka daddy help me" of my daughter's paper on Red Bull while she was at Wharton. I recommend that Frank read up on that story and many others about products that would have never gotten off the ground had they not used unconventional advertising methods to get around the fact that they did not have the capital to succeed. I would bet that most posters here use Cobroxin because they found out about it in unconventional ways. It then developed a cult status among users. That concept has to be played up IMO.
