This is perhaps one of the more sincere comments from someone who has actually owned the stock at one point or another! Good job and congrats for your insights. Please be a little more specific about BW's lack of business acumen that you mentioned? There are some, here, that can not distinguish the difference between putting a product in stores -after years and millions of dollars worth of investments (by hard working people)- and then having it all pissed away for ONE person's Racing Hobby! It certainly should be a crime since there has NEVER been an accurate accounting (via audits) of how the money, over the years, has been invested (wasted)!! To be put in Walmart two years ago and now have very little to no mention of it or not being able to be found in most WMs is a testament of the blown opportunity this CEO has done with other people's money!

Hey, DS! How you been?

Good post. I agree with you. KOMA is a great product, but the management just cannot seem to get it together on making money and stopping the dilution.

I have gone by a few of the locations that are listed here:=...

msid=217093353652306739075.0004d4b27afc9e5339c65&msa=0&ll=29.916852,-89.033203&spn=39.958869,56.513672&dg=feature

...and found that the list is accurate(at least where I went in and asked for KOMA). Including Walmart stores.

Some had them un reorder and they were not on the shelves. But the Walmart managers scanned my empty can of KOMA and bar code scanner immediately told the manager how many they had in stock etc.

But there seems to be so many irons in the fire for ANY CEO. The more complex everything is, the more I get cautious. And, judging by the stock price, I am not the only one.

You have the European distributor (which BBDA owns a small percentage of), you have that Kudzu agency, the DLR Associates. I really cannot keep track of all the different ownership stakes.

IMO, that is why there are more traders and less investors in BBDA now--not to mention the billions of shares that have gone out.

I have traded BBDA over the past two years like you have, DS. But it is kind of like minimizing the risk of a surprise negative announcement that I want to keep my exposure down to a few days only.

Really too bad. Great product. Lots of media. but just cannot stop the dilution and get to net net net profitability.

Go figure.

I buy the Drink for my daughter who struggles with OCD

Good post. weber seems like a goofball party animal type, it would be fun to have a beer with him, but in the leadership and ethics department he is lacking. I totally get why people like him, but he is a con man.

Just remember that koma drink you give your daughter has more sugar then a can of Pepsi. The blue dye is banned in half the world. Might want to look into the relax shots or melatonin pills. IMO Or marleys mellow mood which is cane sugar and natural fillers .
