Competitor ... that I am surprised has been ignored on this thread (as name is v similar and there exists a SI thread): Aqua I in Canada. On Vancouver - (makes it harder to track etc etc - but wasn't Clearly Canadian originally on that exchange) . Yahoo has quotes as aqb.v. Claims to be Nasdaq listed as AQBEF. I have yet to receive my investors package from the company. At least this company's progress shows that the market for vitamin enhanced non carbonated water is out there waiting to be supplied. Doesn't take much thought to note (a) the boom in sales of vitamins (b) boom in bottled water sales and (c) to get a better profit margin in the competitive market of bottled water ... add a few vitamins. Why I am almost thinking of picking up a few shares in the thought that the excitement here will spill over!! Any one have any knowledge? FYI I will attach here the SI thread header plus the last news release from the company: =========================== Started By: Lynndal K. Daniels Date: Jul 24 1996 1:20PM EST This is an interesting penny stock. Currently at about 85 cents(Canadian). This firm is the largest seller of bottled water in Western Canada. They have just come out with a new line of nutraceutical drinks like water with echinacia or ginseng. They just recently were approved for a test run of their products in the Wal-Mart stores in New York. If it does well there it will be distributed across the USA through Wal-Mart and other retailers. Big potential. They do exporting to Asia and India as well which will be providing substantial income. Is anybody out there following this stock or interested in it?
