PKG, you truly are a piece of work.
I'm sure Sneaky would take exception to your archaic attempt to lump DKAM into a cookie cutter mold you have devised but he had to leave today. So, I'll take enjoyment in picking up the pieces on the crude attempt on your part to offer the "shining light" on our present situation. The company for one, is NOT responsible for the PPS being what it is. I have seen no insider sells; only buys upon buys. Any reaction to the price comes from the shareholder base at large. A majority of that is created by VERY distorted misinformation out there. Sneaky following through on what the company is doing and reiterating what the CEO has said and is doing now makes it a conspiracy of misinformation? I think not!
Trump was what it was; the most successful launch of a vodka in recent memory. So they fell short of 100000 cases because of distributor road blocks in production, glass problems, label problems, and inventory shortfall. All the growing pains of a start up. He has explained that on the conference calls. You just never listened.
Growth doesn't fall into a perfect parabola that you can put in a pipe and smoke. At the end of the day, the company was doing $1.6 million in sales in 2006. In 2008, they did $4.5 million. That is almost 200% aggregate growth. What happens in between is immaterial except that there was all the negative surrounding financing. All that did was make shareholders sell while the company got themselves out of debt and cleaned up their balance sheet. All these declining sales you speak of led to massive agreements to pave the way for exponential growth going forward.
Russia is a contract that all by itself suffered at the hands of tax stamps and pricing issues. More growing pains for a start up. Those issues have been resolved. Mr. Kenny has spoken to that. Just because he didn't notify you by telegram doesn't mean it hasn't happened. Rilo has been there a couple times and TV is everywhere. They are producing and shipping for that order.
Now we're sitting on the plain hard facts of the company doing exactly what they've press released they are doing. That leads to results that have no choice to be better than the past. Nothing you can do or say will prevent that. But we'll let everyone know what is coming. When they blow away sales, then you'll jump up and say the growth curve is like 2007 and will fail. When Dre hits the shelves; it will immediately turn to why no conference call or the explanation for not having one; or the immediate reason why Dre wasn't included in a press release talking about Israel or Kid Rock; or the declining OWR sales in 2008; or the fact that Lemonade Newman's only sold 2.5 cases in 2008 at your corner Sevum Levum.
The price per share is what it is and thanks to a host of uninformed shareholders and pipe dreamers, it represents one of the best values out there. And I will be the first to thank you for the deep pocket players that will make many pockets full on your single handed attempt to keep it there.
