I thought I read about TPBV on this board and got in yesterday after their news. It is a beverage company with water based products with additives like oxygen, electroytes for sports drinks. They have contracts with schools in CA to provide drinks as mandated by their nutrition laws. In Japan they have a drink that sells for $5 a bottle and it is flying off the sleves. I don't know what is a good entry price. i am in and not selling until it doubles my entry. GLTA and DD-Debi

I have no clue, but I don't want to sell it appears to be going straight up. It has a 52 week high of .23 and it is only .062. THey have some good contracts that should make them money and schools are starting to yank the unhealthy snacks and drinks which would leave a huge void this could fill. GLTA-Debi

I bought at .0161 I tried to bring it up but nobody was interested. I started a thread for large sells at bid before the run. Up 68% today

Double L Thanks, Now I know where I read about it. It was a good post and sorry I never got back to let you know. So many stocks -so little time. I thought I was late to the party at .039 but I think it will run. When it pulls back it will be a good chance for anyone looking to get in. i am not sure when or how much that pull back will be.

It took for ever to get threw .025 would bounce up but not threw. I think this is a safe base. I plan on buying more at .03 if it ever goes back that low. I also plan on pulling some cash out soon. Just seems like most stocks run for 2-3 days and then fall back. Yesterday small investors started buying compared to the last week. They tend to be hard headed and will not sell so fast. I do not know who bought the huge amounts in the last week. They had a conference a few weeks ago to investors. I wonder if the overseas news came out then, and people who were present started buying. Who buys 20,000 dollars in penny stocks? mm's and the big boys. Alot of buys went threw (above 200,000 shares). They were all below ask and then the price would raise.I think most large investors buy below ask. I am hoping we run into the .07 area. Then I see it droping down (maybe .05) and building a base of smaller investors. When I look at the charts for the last 2 days. I now see buys and sells at 10k-50k range(smaller players). It could drop from here????????????????????????????????????From this .05 area I see it jumping to .07. And then boom hidden pr and up to .20 easy. If we get a pr soon it could and should jump up real good again(all bets are off) did I tell you all bets are off if we get another pr.The trick is pull cash before everybody else does and buy back before everybody. I will not get rid of all my position in the next few months. With this much money coming in I think otc and reporting should and will be done. If you have nothing to hide why not raise your share price (they think the best way to improve shareholder price is threw buying other companies) and build investor trust by putting out what is going on.

Sounds like good advice Double L - I would expect a lot of people to want to take some off the table but if it breaks though the resistance around .07 where would it go? I will definitely be buying more on the pullback and possibly holding long term. This looks really good. What else do you like? I will remember to pay attention next time you notice something good. -Debi I think I read this is the Green Baron pick on RB for whatever that is worth with a target of .10-15 in a few months. I don't know who the Green Baron is, what his track record is or when the prediction was made.

They paid green barron 2 mil. shares. It is a pump site of sorts, but they pull down some good picks. They also gave 750,000 to someone last year. The investor conference takes money or shares also. The green barron looks like a good site to me. I thought the next resistance was at .09. If it gets threw that it will move up good. I would guess the old shell ceo has 10 mil. max the green barron said this in a private e-mail. They said it would be restricted till sept. if he had some. So I would guess 20-30 mil. min is tied up for a while.I e-mailed ceo (Chris) a few times and he responded. He lead me to beleive otc was a possiblility. They might have enough money to do this now. If that happens it will jump to .20. I plan on putting a sell in at .085 for mon. Let me warn you I am a very reserved investor for penny stocks if there is money on the table I will take it. I always sell to early. The problem with this is I miss the tops. The advantage of this is I make good money with little risk. If I were to tell you about another stock it would be nsdm. Short term it will go back to .06 (20-30%). I would buy 1/2 half of what you want at present levels. Save 1/2 to ave. down if it goes to .03. In the next few months it will see .06 again. Play the 20-30 swing and some money can be made on it. Or build a base of free shares.

Thanks again Double L, I also have NSDM and bought around .03 and sold most at the higher part of the recent run and just about all at under .06 when it started dropping. I also trade my nieces and friends accounts and they have some NSDM too. Same scenario. My trading style is usually slightly more agressive than yours. I try to ride to the top and get out after the crest on the way down. Sometimes it is great and sometimes I stay too long at the party and get stuck. I have tried to keep some shares always when I sell so I don't miss the stocks that keep going and/or buy back in at the top. Also I find if I keep a stock in my account even a small amount I get to know how it trades over time and can get a feel for what is going on and where it is going. GLTY and hope all your trades are green.-Debi

Took forever to execute. I changed my limit order 4 X to not get stuck with a too high price. Finally got filled for .072. I think that will be a good price. If it dips I will buy more. People spend a lot of money on beverages and this type is particularly popular. I think it will be very big.-Debi

Double L-I saw that dip and I was tempted but I had my morning buy and some previous and was a coward. It recovered so quickly and seems pretty stable after such huge gains I would buy the dip next time. Great move-I think we will see all kinds of sales PR's and new territories and products. This could be great.
Kahruzer-The pink stocks don't have a bid or ask showing but if you go to nqb. Com with no space between that is the pink sheet site and you can get a delayed quote. I use a program that shows the last sale and can guess a fill price. Hope is works well for you.-Debi

I am setting day buys real low hoping I catch a shake or it drops alot. I think traders will sell if we do not get news again. I think .04 is a very safe bet for now. I could get left with my pants down but I will not lose money. I still like the company alot.

I think .20 is a good target. Have you tried VIVO? That is what got me interested in this company in the first place. It is a product worth trying and worth investing in long term, in my view.
You can get it at Albertson's in the drug department - it's a unique bottled water. Research clustered water to find out what it is all about. I am not surprised that Japan and Europe are both going nuts over it.
Also, the hopeful switch to OTCBB should make a nice push to the price?

I am back in latest news is they have a lawyer to go to otc. Great news a friend is going to do a onsite for me. I sold at .06 last run and bought back at .04-.05. I will hold to .10 on the new shares. It could take some time.

Yes, I think the OTC listing will be one of many things that takes the pps much higher.
Anyone here who's interested in Tropical, I have created a web site that is a collection of DD links about the company, since their own site is still under development and gives very little information to potential investors. If anyone here runs across any links that might be good to add, please let me know. The addy is www abouttropical com.

Longfellow how deep are you in it. I first bought in sept. I think it is odd greenbarron did not post anything new and vntb got a fresh spin. I just bought back in bought at .015- .025 and sold at .06. I thought it was odd chris will not return e-mails now. Before christmas he returned 3-4 e-mails to me. Now nothing. I am holding till .10 on current holdings. I did some dd awhile back and everything looked good. A few things to consider. They gave greenbarron 2 mil. shares. Ex-ceo could have 10 mil. restriced till sept. I found where they gave someone else 750,000. They could have put out alot of shares to different pump sites like green barron. The wallstreet reporter gig cost shares or cash. Just a few things that concern me. I am not a basher just thought I would let you know some of the dd I found. I do like they idea about otc. I told ceo that alone would raise share price .05. Now they need to do it. I thing I had a old topic you might look at on this site.

I looked at the site nice. I first told glassman about tpbv a while back and he was making fun of their site (the old one) You should talk to chris about making on for them. I think green barron made the one they have now. Looks good.

_____________________________________________ I haven't tried VIVO I don't think but I did try clustered water and used to drink the oxygen infused waters when I was playing competitive tennis. I hurt my shoulder so now I am a computer chair potato. I see this and VNTB making big moves this summer. I paid .06 for my shares and will be buying some when there is not so much red in my portfolio. This is red for me right now but one of the ones I am not concerned about. They are definitely making progress and if they do trade on the OTC they will be huge. I know I like to look at SEC filings and know the current share count. If they are reporting and current, making progress in sales and market share, this can only go way up. IMO-DD-GLTA-Debi

Double L, I first bought back in December, I think, around the .011 level. I'm long on this stock, I have patience and if they continue to execute as they have been, I think we'll be seeing a very nice, steady, ongoing rise in the pps. Which is what I look for in a stock. I gave up trading after taking a bath back in 2000, I'm purely an investor now, focusing on the long view rather than short-term fluctuations.

I just got a bit more at .046, I doubt we're going to stay at these levels much longer, especially with the meeting they had this past weekend. Word is getting out. Time to finish loading up!
