Today's record revenue announcement should of been great news to us. It has little impact because the management won't answer our questions. Do they even have an investor relations person?

Bulldog2, your statement below could not be further from the mark. They will report in the neighborhood of $20 million in revenue for full year 2011. With a gross margin percentage of 34% (which has been the approximate GM runrate for the past few quarters, there would be about $6.8 million of gross profit this year. That would leave about $560k per month available for expenses other than direct product costs. The last I had heard, MP had about 14-15 employees. Even if they have doubled that employee count, there's should be no need to spend more than $560k per month on 'daily expenses'. The big money they have been spending is on endorsements, promotion, and marketing. All to grow the brand and sales volume. From what I can tell, the spending has done exactly what it was intended to do.

Let's face it, most of the dilution is NOT coming from planned expansion

Well turn my "Sirius" radio down. I agree with odessa. A company like muscle pharm should not have earnings now or in the near(12-24months)future. Earnings would be an indication of slowing growth at this point.MSLP should be growing revenue and at the same time be suffering a "relative" declining loss to the revenue growth. These "relative" losses are paid for thru dilution. You muscle pharm cheerleaders are probably patting yourselves on the back saying that is what they are doing. The problem is the stock price. It has crashed and burned even with sequential revenue growth. This causes these "relative" losses to
deplete a company of its most precious currency its shares. MSLP just sold 42 million shares for 375k. That is .00892 cents a share. Even at
.025 they would have raised about a million.
