Nijad, okay, this time I'll answer you (well, what can I do, you called me friend... that's said tongue in cheek, I'm not that niave! But your post was not as bashing as previous ones.)
One thing that puts me off is your "absolute" statements. For instance, "none of these reports have come to life!" The context of your statement indicates you're saying they have never followed through on anything. They have. They launched in many areas, including Spokane, Washington. (not Seattle yet, though that may happen in a few months). They said they'd do these things, and they did. They've also failed to materialize some things. They say they are to blame, because they let out too much info, and then competitors better positioned jumped in. I'm glad they understand this.
I consider Say Yes a risk. But they do exist, they are not just paper. They have product, they have it in stores, and they have management which I believe can do the job. I hope I don't lose money on it, but I might.
Also, they have really cooled down the info freeway approach, and I'm personally glad of this. They say they will give out less "in advance" informaton, and wait until the event has come to pass or is about to do so. Days or hours, instead of weeks in advance. Hence, as per my comment above, they won't be letting the competition in on things before they've got signed contracts.
Note that on a weak market, MILK, as someone else pointed out, has still stayed in its trading range, low end. Many stocks have gone below their support levels.
I strongly suggest that if you're not in the stock, you may want to stay out of it. If in, maybe you should get out? This is up to you; but if you don't believe in a company, then maybe you should find one you do believe in? There are thousands of companies to choose from. Or, maybe you'd be better off out of the markets? I don't know, honest, this is just friendly chatter. (with the assumption you are sincere.) Just my humble opinion/suggestion.
Also, it would be nice if you checked on things you aren't clear on. People ask questions and others answer, but I'm not sure you believe the answers coming from the rest of us (?). So it would be better if you found out for yourself. In any case, its best not to call the dairies involved; call Say Yes and ask what stores are carrying the product, then call one store to verify they have it there. Most dairies are not set up to deal with the public, they sell wholesale to retail stores.
Wishing you the best,
