NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - 07/01/10) - Billy Martin's, the western lifestyle retail boutique, and subsidiary of Real American Brands, Inc. (Pinksheets:RLAB - News) is pondering expansion in China that could bring cowboy boots and authentic American-made western apparel, belts and buckles to the far East. "In the current fiscal year, we see good prospects for positioning Billy Martin's to serve the Chinese market through a network of mini-Billy Martin boutiques, 500 to 1000 sq. feet, which will be franchised to local Chinese partners," said Doug Newton, CEO of RLAB who founded the western brand, along with former NY Yankee manager, Billy Martin in 1978. "Our first test markets will likely be in the mainland coastal cities of Wenzhou, Dalian and Shanghai. We plan to take a prudent, steady approach to rolling out in China, and our pace of expansion obviously will depend on the degree to which our western lifestyle goods are embraced by the younger generation of Chinese consumers who have the money and motivation to wear our wares. We are carefully watching the experience of other real American brands doing business in China now." Heading up the company's Asia-Pacific Rim drive will be Joseph Gimiano, a 25 year veteran of the company's New York boutique. "In over 2 decades of observing customer reaction to Billy Martin's goods, especially by tourists and visitors from Asia-Pacific Rim in the last 5 years, we believe there is an enduring appeal of authentic American-made western wear that extends across the globe," Gimiano said. Real American Brands, Inc., the non-reporting public company (RLAB) owns 100% of the licensing and franchising rights of Billy Martin's and its registered US trademarks. The company is headquartered at Trump Plaza in New York City, a market where the boutique has operated without interruption for the last 31 years (www.billymartin.com). About Real American Brands

Good evcening all, RLAB!! Heres another great company I came across this afternoon by word of mouth. I checked out this company today and did a bunch of dd on it. This one has an awesome looking chart and has been on an uptrend since the begining of march on little news too. Heres a link to the chart http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=RLA...d=p31491686640
I think this one is going to explode in the am now that this news is out. There is really no strong resistance holding us back and we could really be trading at new highs on this one. The MAC D line is about to cross the signal and the RSI line is bullish and half way to power at 60.80 two strong indicators that the stock is going to fly. This is an awesome time to take a position in this one before the run begins. Good luck to you all and happy trading

RLAB came with news on friday mornig after the market opened. This company is doing an awesome job keeping us investors informed of what is exactly happeing with the company. The company has a great reputation and is focused on growing and will not let anything stop it from happening. After reading the news the company has gained my respect. Looking at the charts we have an A sending triangle which is a very powerful set up! Stock is bullish and is showing a little resistace at .0155 and .018 but i belive we can break throgh those and be trading at .022 or higher. I think we are also going to see some high volume this week and as we all know volume proceeds price. This is the prefet time to get in on this one for some real nice gains. Here is the latest news
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - 07/09/10) - Real American Brands, Inc., a non-reporting public company (Pinksheets:RLAB - News) disclosed today that it believes a significant number of its free-trading shares were sold short in the marketplace on Friday, July 2nd.
According to Doug Newton, CEO of RLAB, "we are in the process of gaining proof that the day's high volume of 9 million shares was the result of aggressive short-selling which not only depressed RLAB's stock price, but gives the appearance that a large number of shares were dumped into the market following the company's release of news of July 1st and 2nd."
Newton said "one early report indicates several million shares were shorted that day while the facts are that I know of no single shareholder, or company or group of shareholders who sold anywhere near this amount of stock on July 2nd; moreover, there has been no issuance of new stock above our current level of 165 million shares.
"Short selling -- to the degree that it continues to go unchecked-- can have a devastating impact on a company's image, credibility and prospects for growth and prosperity", said Newton, "and all NASD broker dealers must be called to task to report total "short" positions in all customer and proprietary firm accounts in all publicly traded equity securities, especially following the release of public news from smaller Pink Sheets companies like Real American Brands, Inc."
To quell rumors of a major stock promotion push, Newton said in the last 2+ years, the company has had no discussions or made any agreements with individuals or firms to promote RLAB. "In fact, the company has turned down offers of cash in exchange for issuances of free stock, because we are committed to holding RLAB's share base at a level between below 200 million shares."
Newton said he believes the company's growing stable of intellectual property assets and 31 year track record with the Billy Martin's brand should command a market value of a minimum of $20 million dollars. "At a maximum level of 200 million shares, this would suggest a share price of 10 cents per share, or ten times our present one penny price."
Newton said he will use all of his authority as CEO to further investigate the short selling of RLAB stock, and publicly report to shareholders the results of same with within next two weeks
