A CEO giving PPS guidance how ridiculous, in fact I doubt they even know the Word Fiduciary !

We need another A-list NYE party

When did MRIB ever have an A-list party? LOL

"I thought Margrit predicted .2 by year end? Did she mean .002? Damn language barriers."

In my opinion, no "language barrier" as she knew precisely what she was saying.

18.I asked Marani, "Realistically if you had to predict Marani's stock value at the end of 2014, what would your best guess be? Marani's response, "Conservatively, would be very surprised if it wasn't in the mid .20's at the least!!! ?

But, again, imo, it was just more of her/their BS and yet more great sounding stuff designed to PUMP THE PPS just like most of their PRs are. So if you ask yourself "Whatever happened to the pps being 'in the mid .20s at the least' by end of 2014" you should also ask yourself these questions as well:

1) "WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE BRAZIL DEAL?"

Marani Brands Approaches Launch of Natural Brand Awareness Campaign Through TV Commercials and Print Ads

TUSTIN, CA–(Marketwired – Jul 24, 2014) – Marani Brands (OTC Pink: MRIB) (PINKSHEETS: MRIB) CEO Margrit Eyraud has been collecting data from many sources to help set the foundation needed to expose the Company’s award winning ultra-premium vodka spirit. After viewing all possibilities the management team concluded that it was best to manage the process in house and select the best in each category for creating and delivery of content. The focus is to have content to market starting within 30 days building a massive campaign starting in California and expanding across the country. The brand awareness will include television 15, 30 and 60 second spot commercials, print ads, and massive events through Zodiac Brands. Up to three companies will focus on tastings at retail spirit locations, internet ads and expanding social media exposure.

And, even with the above, the FINGER OF BLAME is rarely pointed at Margrit/Marani themselves as if they shouldn't be blamed for anything. And, apparently, not even to blame for the failure of Marani 1.0 between 2008-2010!! And how many people bought into this precisely because of the above lofty PRs which have yet to be realized?!!! Incredible. Hell, not only incredible I'm now wondering if what they haven't done, but said they were, might actually be criminal!! Indeed, was I (and others), perhaps, swindled here?? :-(

[VeronicaFox]

She was a bit off-target, funny too that she said the prediction of $.20 cents was "conservative". She also told investors there would be solid revenues reported for the 1st quarter on May 15th. Those "solid" revenues were $2448 total. But she didn't stop there, she also stated she expected to be "comfortably profitable" by the end of quarter 2. That report showed us about $10,800 in revenue, $5900 in gross profit for the quarter.

The responsibility for our current pps rests squarely with MRIB's management.
