Furthermore, your assertion that Asians do not have sufficient clean water to survive is nonsense. Can you perhaps cite some evidence to support your claim Do you remember this DAvid R, did I not cite some evidence, your welcome.https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=2950713 You misconstrued my message. I certainly would not assert that there is no market for bottled water. I never drink tap water. We are talking about from whence Asia will buy its water. THere are plenty of clean sources of water in Asia (the point I was making in my post). You were WRONG weren't you? Does anybody have any figures on the approximate Asian water import estimates over the next few years, and the likely suppliers of this water? I gave them didn't I, or did you see my USDA link?And certainluy there is no status associated with RMIL that would compel anybody to pay a premium. Look at the CHART, which one would you pay more for?No, I said RMIL did not have premium product identity such as Evian. A good marketer could market San Jose muni water (the most disgusting stuff I have ever seen) as premium water successfully. WRONG, not without FACTS and a chart comparing their water to more advertised brands, which water was superior in the CHART I provided, here let me refresh you, since you think I am lying Brand..........Calcium........Magnesium........Sodium......Intake Ratio RMCW..........42.................23.....................13............ (.547) Naya.............38..................20..................... 6..............(.526) Evian.............78..................24......................5..............(.208) Perrier............145.................4......................14.............(.027)Message 2873902 How can a MARKETER do THAT with MUNI WATER friend? NOW ANSWER, who has the better water here? Looking at the available info, RMIL does not look like a contender in a "survival of the fittest" environment. Why NOT? Who has the best product? RMIL, could, assuming they have sufficiently deep pockets, market their water any way they want. Last time I checked, RMIL's pockets were pretty shallow. Even $10M is a paltry sum if one wanted to compete with Perrier and Evian. Did you know which one was better, public awareness is growing from this very BOARD itself, people will tell others, microsoft beat IBM with a much smaller budget too, but you are BRAINWASHED!BTW: the market is not that knowledgable about water purity. I think Perrier is quite rank myself. I prefer Calistoga, or S. Peligrino for bottled mineral water. But that is changing, I bet MANY have been educated here, you have, and as standards INCREASE in the WATER industry it will ONLY STRENGTHEN RMIL from the fakes and the marketers that sell the MUNI water as you claim. Read this quote, it was from a very wise individual who claimed there is ALOT of unsubstantiated claims out here, I am glad I could back mine up, are your feet still in your throat?Oh wait, I forgot. THis is the RMIL thread where unsubstantiated nonsense is the rule of the day. It is unfortunate that few on this thread can tell the difference between facts, and unsubstantiated heresay. You Grow up buddy. As ZBest demosntrated, time will topple the best schemes. And it will topple the best efforts of the MM's to get out of thier short position too.
