EVERYONE READ THIS PLEASE!!
Today was not a bit comical for me... and I agree BF40.
As do many others, I have quite a bit invested with BBDA, however, I did not get in when it was really low. I have it at its highs. It would be nice to buy more, now that it is at.006ish, to avg. down my pps, but I can't.
I think some of the posts today regarding Walmarts not selling it, and returning their supply might have been honest mistakes. I got to the bad sources at Walmart, and then to the good sources at Walmart.
After totally FREAKING out after reading the posts, (literally)... I put a sell price in that would have been a loss close to $3000.00. (I panicked). Then after I started the verifcation process, I canceled.
I learned today - in all kinds of ways.
First, I have no business investing money that I really can't afford to lose.
2nd - Stop listening to people on this board (can be very harmful)
3rd - Don't take the words from just anyone that answers your questions at Walmart
4th - Don't Panic ( I soon canceled my sell order on Etrade)
5th - Due Diligence - I followed thru, I could have easily accepted what the Operator/Receptionst told me (she was wrong)
I confirmed with store managers their status - (are you carrying it, and do you have plans to pull the product - they replied back favorably for BBDA
6th Go a step further.... I ended up calling the district offices for the SC Walmart - they confirmed in favor of KOMA, and found out they are still carrying it in the stores, and are not pulling it. (Even though each store, I think can do whatever)
7th Go another step, I spoke with the VP of sales at BBDA, She confirmed that they did way over ship (certain stores) too many pallets and requestsed returns for the surplus from some of the stores (or something to that nature...
So... that was my day, too bad I don't have a KOMA to unwind with. VERY Frustrating. But, a great deal has been learned.
