Jimbo, I definitely await news about successfully manufactured product. I'd appreciate hearing TCBG announce when the first fully loaded truck has left the dock en route to Winn Dixie. Fat chance. Still, TCBG will get exciting in the next few weeks. I called IR about investor samples this past week and - after some grilling - they said that sample shipments are controlled by, and will be shipped from, TCBG headquarters. (IR handles the investor sample list, however.) I then called TCBG. They await the next shipment of investor samples so they can distribute them. The person who answered the phone didn't seem to have an interest in giving details, so I kept it brief and didn't press the question. As TCBG remains far less than a font of information, I know the WalMart, Winn Dixie, Kraft, and Unser connections are among the few tangibles which give this stock legitimacy to outsiders like me. The current low stock price makes sense, as it's not tough to get scared away with the lack of recent credible information. Still, the price gives good opportunity to buy, so it's tough to complain. One core item I always fall back on is that the BrainForest package is a really fun idea, and it makes the beverage look really good. I'm thirsty. I want my investor samples. Shoe.

It is frustrating to see TCBG stock price going nowhere. This is the pattern of TCBG eversince I bought over a month and half ago : - Goes DOWN when the rest of the market goes down - Goes NOWHERE when the rest of the market goes up So when will it EVER go up? This question need to be asked : - NOT with the company directly - NOT with the IR guy - NOTEVEN highly OPTIMIST PUNDITS on this thread BUT, MMs, the so called 'Market Manipulators'. What a deal ? We are simply at the MERCY of MMs whose GOAL is SHORTING, SHORTING and SHORTING... They can do it easily on OTC because we, Individual Investor losers, do not have the help of Institution Investors and as long as this continues NOBODY can STOP MMs doing what they do best i.e. SHORTING BLINDLY... I am starting to understand how MANIPULATIVE these BB stocks are. TCBG is not alone in this race. There are AETI's, BAAT's etc... For eg., Today's trading. Both DOW & NASDAQ went up over 2.5% and TCBG with the volume of 150k UNCHANGED. Is n't it ABOUT TIME that we all should take a second look at these HIGHLY MANIPULATIVE BB stocks and Do some thing about it?! Perhaps SEC should look into this matter or Is this how stocks on OTC trade?!! Just a thought... Any comments ?!!
