Addressing this to a couple of people: Peter, great post. If there is one element of this stock missing here it is obviously the financials. I too have received the fax on demand info., and upon reading it over I called the co. direct and had no problem getting through and having my questions answered. It is as of late that they are outsourcing all investor relations inquires because of recent demand for info. The questions that you have asked are all extremely valid and should be addressed via the conference which is being arranged apparently for next week. I would like to counter some of your concerns by first stating that over half of stocks trading on the OTC trade well beyond penny levels without an incling of financial data at the ready for investors to ponder over. Common practice and apparently readily accepted (which is generally why I stay away from these things). So in effect, TCBG could very well approach previous highs without reporting a thing. I, on the other hand would prefer it if they did and have this trade at slightly higher levels seen today, rather than see it at 8 without reports given. Earl stated previously that filing will take place somewhere in the next 90 days and I am waiting for confirmation on this. You said you expect some red ink here, but that is generally hard to say considering for one, we don't know what all really came out of that lawsuit with Kraft other than the fact that TCBG won and has exclusive rights to market in the same realm as Kraft/Capri-Sun. Sponsoring a Indy car is big money, and I have a family member who has invested a great deal of his personal interest in automobile racing, and he says that in sponsoring a vehicle, the co. is required to release all financials to the owner/team, and then has to undergo a fairly extensive interviewing process. Now considering TCBG inked a two-year deal with the Cheever team says something doesn't it? Contrary to popular belief in automobile racing, someone with a pile of money doesn't just walk up to a owner/team and slap his or her name on the car. The owner/team has to be guaranteed that the co. will be around for a while and is completely legitimate. Now where did they come up with the money for this which I'm assuming is anywhere in the area of 1 to 5 million is the question that again needs answering. They obviously have working capital. With respect to margins, TCBG's is pretty good, better than Krafts. Someone stated them before so scroll back a hundred or so posts. It came from a very credible poster who did a lot of DD to dig it up - Earl or Gambler, not sure. The important thing to remember here is that this co. has patented technology that is in great demand judging by the deals they have signed recently. Now to Shoot1st... You have a very bad vendetta against Big Dog as does Tim (the force is not with me) Luke. Why? I don't care. You all seem to share similar day trading styles it seems, so when you say Tim is merely warning us of the pump and dump scenario and keeping the newbies aware of the tactics of Dog, don't all you day traders share the exact same virtues. Buy into a stock, start pumping, and as volume increases and price sores, dump. I personally didn't like it when Dog came aboard, but as I stated before, it doesn't matter in the long run. Personally, the effect that he normally has on a stock when he enters it and starts pumping already took place with TCBG a week and half ago. Notice how it peaked at $1.50, and before it hit that level he started pumping it like hell. It then began to trade downward for consecutive days. That's over with. And we don't really here from him anymore. I don't dislike Dog as much as you do, and I finding I'm liking him even more given that he's changed his style of trading recently. But in the end, who really gives a sheet. I find it hard to believe that you're investing so much of your time bickering with him. Makes me kinda question your sanity a little. Have you ever re-read your own bio? As for Jimbo being a member of his party, I find it hard to believe. I respect Jimbo a great deal and found his posting on the MIDL thread a great source of info., along with of course Ga Bard. So your concern along with Tim's is highly, highly questionable considering you're just as likely to pump and dump as Dog is. TCBG'S climb is nowhere near finished (years are ahead of this) and were likely to see 2+ tomorrow.

Peter: I was pleased to see your post, and the intelligent inquiry you are attempting into this company. There is an evident heavy promotion of the company. However, many of the details, such as you describe, are missing. Hopefully, answers will be forthcoming. Steve

But I would like to know if >financially they can execute. Pete, Nice Reality check! I like this kind of questioning a lot. Don't see enough of it. There has been mention of 'unit costs' in recent TCBG posts, but I doubt that the 'WalMart factor' was known when those numbers were concocted. Sorry, I can't help much with answers. Not many financial details out there right now, as far as I can tell. The current price reflects this. This is still a risky stock, but all 'available' pointers seem to be facing the right direction. I'm very comfy with the risk/potential, though I hope TCBG prices level off until more news or facts hit, or it may become due for a correction. It's a bummer there wasn't TCBG thread started until last month. We could have read about all the reasons it dropped from $8 to $0.63. Shoe.

Peter, You ask excellent questions. Questions brokers will be asking when the stock is at 3-5 dollar IMO. This is a start up company who has just kicked it in high gear. A conference call will address most of your questions next week and some have already been answered in the thread. TCBG website is at www.stockprofiles.com. Try Scott at 1-888-338-3367. Scott is the investor relations and consulting firm representative. When I bought this stock at under 1 dollar one of the the first questions I asked myself was, "will institutional and brokers be buying?" I say yes. Good luck, Earl
