8's - You've referred to yourself as a former NHL player, please don't tell me "Buzzy" is your friend and the anger you have right now is directed towards his situation with the company.

8's..that sounds more like you. If we react to the prognostications on both hyped ends of the spectrum all we get is more garbage. As you've stated before this is a slow, long term deal. Most realize this but this too is pennyland and the majority of folks either don't know or don't care how real businesses are made. If you look back on your last few posts you'll understand where my statement came from. good luck to you.

Yep. That's my gripe with HFBG.

If it realistically tried to live up to its promises in the fluff PRs but failed, I'd have no problem losing money. Most pinkies are unsuccessful. That's par for the course.

But the deception, outright lies and misdirections are what piss me off.

When are we ever going to see an updated website? It's not that difficult. Just basic things.

Why is there a need for a commercial when, if seen, potential customers would Google the product and come across the mess that is the current HFBG website? Look at all the defunct products shown on the website! Why are they still there?

The pointless PRs, like the one from yesterday, could be posted on the website rather than using investors' money for fluff.

Just simple things. No business owner is THAT inept. Even Ross. Which makes one believe it is a scam.

Agreed. The company for the past year, has published their anticipated hopes/progress. For what ever reason (and there could be hundreds, legitimate and not legit) events to fruition has not happened to the extent as published (anticipated hopes/progress PR's).

The chasm we face now is do we wait and see if they can build the foundation, build on the foundation and grow to a substantial player in the industry. While there is evidence that support this as non-event potential, the product is good. Whether the business plan (laid out marketing studies, potential sales based on consumer response, local, then regional testing to validate the data, and then growth to national) was well thought out with forward movement based on consumer indicators or just "it'll go", I hesitate to make such a judgement. Although, again, evidence shows agressiveness in distribution has exceeded funding / planned funding from sales to assist in forward growth.

All said and done, it is a wait and see if the "plan" can be salvaged / rerouted onto the road to success.

Management has to be smarter than they have shown to be.
