"...operating potential, but no restrictions on management actions." The above comment just about sums up the potential rewards and risks to owning shares in TCBG. KSully

no response to my candid reply to your post 2126. sorry to disappoint your accusations. i wonder what you do for a real job when you don't waste your time bitching about tcbg. i will wager $100 that this stock will hit $2 per share before your target of 70cents. if you are so sure of the futility of this stock, why not arrange an orchestrated short? you could make a fortune, but you do not have the balls to do it because your smarter sense is screaming at you to have a little more patience....this company is on the verge of something spectacular and needs investors,not daytraders....if an entrepeneur can not make it in the states, what are we all doing here...?

AC, I don't see why you and Cavalry have such a concern for Jon having control of this company. Jon started this company, his expertise is in the beverage industry. He's the one who had the vision to do what this company is trying and actually doing. I don't know if he was the actual person that invented the Rip It Sip It, does anyone know? What I'm trying to say is the whole TCBG package is his 'baby', without him we wouldn't even be talking about TCBG right now. During this developmental stage of the company I am glad that Jon has sole power of the company. He's the man with the plan. A few months ago TCBG was working on producing product for 2 companies, today it is 36 companies. Do you think he is doing a good job? Would you rather take away his control of the company and have several lesser men/women be in control who don't have Jon's vision and know how? If you think he is going to rob us blind then maybe you shouldn't invest in the stock. If he has a majority of the shares then where is his wealth? That's right its in the stock. What is his incentive then? It's to increase the value of the shares and that's what we want as well. Many micro cap companies have CEO's who own over 50% of the stock. My other favorite stock has a CEO who owns 68%. That is one of the reasons I bought it. He has vision as well and I'm glad he's the one who makes all the decisions. You want the smartest guy in control. If you had an idea and started a business would you want the bank who loaned you the money to tell you how to run your business or would you want complete control? I'll tell you another big reason that I'm happy he's in control. Let's say that in a year TCBG has a hundred retailers on board and is putting a dent in Kraft's Capri Sun revenues. They see the writing on the wall and decide to buy out TCBG to once again have a monopoly on the pouch industry. Short term it would be nice for shareholders to get a pop with the buyout but it would only be a drop in the bucket compared with the long term growth of TCBG on its own. So Jon being a majority shareholder could stop any takeover. It's funny that all you can do is post about Jon having too much control and you don't say anything about an additional 34 companies coming on board. Let's not forget who else TCBG is aligned with: BDO Seidman LLP CPA, one of the nation's largest accounting and auditing firms. Daymon Associates, Inc., the *largest* corporate brand sales and marketing organization in the USA. The Power Group operates 24 facilities in 4 countries and has been providing manufacturing outsourcing to Fortune 100 customers for over 30 years. Sweet Ripe Drinks Ltd. is the *largest* privately owned tetra manufacturing facility in North America. Cliffstar Corp., the nation's *largest* private label juice manufacturer. Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. is a food retailer with 1,168 supermarkets. Wal-mart no description is necessary. It seems that Jon is doing an excellent job to me. Mark

How much money did they make this time dumping so much paper they tanked it back to $1.25. Well now we have a whole new crowd of people stuck in tcbg at a big loss, everyone who bought in between $1.50 and $1.85 is in the hole right out of the box. Scarey part is when they release first product on the shelf news next few weeks, more will get sucked in price will rise and tcbg theme song kicks in do the dump, do the dump.... I have never seen any company where one man the ceo owns every preferred share and holds controlling interest of every shareholder vote, that last release was huge, who would sell now???? cav
