Bebida Beverage Company (BBDA)

I would be leery 2 yrs ago, but now they have a product in Walmart. Different situation. Different time period.

I understand what you're saying, but you kind of just ignored my whole point. I'm not denying that they've made a quantum leap in potential success for the beverage company, IMO, they have always made an honest effort at trying to make the beverage company successful.

My beef is with the secretiveness and shady history of the public corporation behind the beverage company. I don't view the beverage company and the BBDA corporation as synonymous. I believe that there are still gross irregularities in the way the corporation is run that have pretty much nothing to do with the recent success of the beverage company. Unfortunately, people buying BBDA shares seem to feel that they are buying shares in the beverage company success and don't want to scrutinize the business in which they are actually buying shares. In fact, they are not allowed to scrutinize it, because the entire operation is virtually shielded from the public eye.

That was no freak accident. I care about the presence, not beating a dead horse 2 yrs ago. Time will tell for shareholders here. Risk vs reward.

No, it wasn't a freak accident. It was the result of hard work and dedication and perseverance by BW and his crew. I give them full credit. I am impressed and I have said it many times. Credit where credit is due.

However, the 2 year old past is not a "dead horse" when it comes to corporate accountability, because nothing at all has changed from 2 years ago. They promised share buybacks and audited fins two years and we don;t have them. They are talking about the same stuff now and we still don't have them. What's changed? You can ignore the past and choose to place your faith in the company and management based on nothing but the product being Walmart, but I can't and don't. To each his own.
