Marani Brands Inc. (MRIB)

[misanthrope]

Don't see what news the company could have that would drive up shares in an appreciable manner. Last week's run-up appears to have been tied to the ABC License activation (true, a critical piece of the long-term viability puzzle). Now the PPS is floundering as folks (intelligently) take profits and maybe flip back in.

I have 100K shares still held, but the real question remains - who is going to buy Marani? Brand has virtually zero name recognition (BTW bashers, the quality of the product is not an issue - this is good stuff by all accounts). No recognition means nobody is asking for it - nobody asking for it means it sits on shelves IF it ever gets shelf space at all. Now, those things can be overcome with a plan - but there doesn not appear to be a solid one in place (NO Money TV doesn't help, NO the A-List 'party' is not a long term strategy, NO having distribution does not mean anyone will buy the product OR that distributors will place it).

Longs - I do get that there is potential due to the quality of the product, but seriously - continuing to repost old news, or continuing to tell everyone 'you will be chasing when news comes JUST AROUND THE CORNER - that kind of hype actually serves more to lower the PPS than raise it....just saying.

I am keeping my shares for now - but without a strategy, I won't hold them too much longer.
