Nicodrops, Inc. 'NCDP' Goes Public With The Only Drug-Free Solution To Stop Smoking
Monday September 20, 6:30 am ET
Nicodrop's Nicotine Free Product Is The Only Product In The Market With No Known Side Effects
LA MESA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 20, 2004--Nicodrops, Inc. (PINK SHEETS:NCDP - News) announces that the Company has commenced trading on the OTCBB (Pink Sheet) under Symbol (NCDP). Nicodrops is moving into the public marketplace to aggressively pursue a significant market share of the global smoking cessation market with the First Non Nicotine, Drug-Free product.
Competing products such as Nicorette and Nicoderm contain nicotine to reduce the nicotine dependency and may not be used if an individual suffers from one or more of the following: heart attack, irregular heart beat, high blood pressure, thyroid problems, stomach problems, circulation disorder, heart disease, skin disease, allergies to drugs, stroke, kidney or liver disease, stomach ulcers, insulin dependency. Nicodrops' product is the only product in the market that does not have any known side effects.
The Product
Nicodrops, Inc. has developed a unique, non-nicotine based product designed to assist people who wish to stop smoking. Unlike its competitors, the product is drug free, faster acting and is less expensive.
The line of drug free smoking cessation products has been developed through a joint effort by National Group, National Healthcare Manufacturing Group, Mr. Christopher Calpito (Nicodrops CEO) and the Jamshidi Family. The product has been in development since 1994. National Group has embarked on an extensive program to research various natural herbal products that ultimately culminated the Nicodrops product line.
"We are excited about the opportunity before us" commented Christopher Calpito, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nicodrops, Inc. "While our competitors continue to use nicotine in their products, our lozenges offer a much safer and effective alternative as well as being less expensive" concluded Calpito.
The Market
The market for the Company's products is substantial. The market is comprised essentially of anyone who smokes anywhere in the world. Currently, if a smoker decides to give up the habit, the choices are to quit by using the "cold turkey" method or use one of a number of nicotine based products, which operate on a weaning principal. Nicodrops, Inc. product line provides the market with the only drug free smoking cessation product, which acts quicker and is less expensive than the competing Nicotine based products.
The Atlanta based Center for Disease Control estimates that 70 million or 24% of the entire population of the US are smokers. This translates into a market estimated at $700 Million annually in the United States alone. Projecting this on to the Company's global target markets results in a population of approximately 250 million people with a dollar value of $2.5 Billion.
Alliances with major retailers are expected in the months ahead.

About Nicodrops, Inc.
Nicodrops, Inc. was incorporated for the purpose of bringing to market a unique, drug free line of lozenge products designed to help people who wish to stop smoking. The Company has developed its smoking cessation product over a ten-year period. With the completion of the product development, Nicodrops is now positioned to capitalize on the research and development activities by introducing their products to the market place.
Unlike its competitors, the product is drug free, acts faster and is less expensive. The product also assists those who wish to stop smoking without using the nicotine weaning process included in competing products. Introducing the drug-based products into the blood stream only heightens the risk of a heart attack if a person decides go back to smoking again. Nicodrops is a much safer and better product because it is drug-free and requires a much shorter time to show tangible results (less than 4 weeks compared to the drug based products that are 12 weeks or longer. Nicodrops lozenge is a no non-sense straightforward approach to begin a stop smoking program without using nicotine right from the onset. It will also assist smokers who cannot smoke during business hours. Nicodrops is a smoker's best ally in a smoker-unfriendly environment. It just might convert a smoker - somewhat inadvertently perhaps - into a non-smoker.

Their superior manufacturing expertise will be key for us to launch our product on a major scale.''
Calpito said Nicodrops is positioning the company for success. ``Our company is fully funded at this time, has little overhead, and we believe we can generate profit margins of 60 percent or higher since we have come out of research and development phase and are now aggressively seeking to generate revenues on behalf of our shareholders,'' according to Calpito.

In our original report, we estimated that Nicodrops could earn over $8 milllion next year in profits and $23 in sales. The Green Baron Report now believes that number can be easily attained, which translates to earnings of nearly .02 per share. At a conservative multiple of only 10 times earnings, we would expect the stock to trade at .20 per share. Remember: NCDP just announced it is fully funded, and has told us they plan to go fully reporting in the near future. We also believe store location announcements have only just started, and to be prepared for many more new store placements over the coming weeks and months. Get ready to rock on this one!!!

Quigley to buy manufacturer
The Quigley Corp. of Doylestown, Pa., signed an agreement Friday to buy the assets of JOEL Inc., an Food and Drug Administration-approved contract manufacturer of lozenges and other candy food products, for $5.1 million.
Under the terms of the deal, Quigley will pay $4.1 million in cash and $1 million in company stock for the assets that includes the land, buildings, machinery and equipment of two factories, located in Lebanon and Elizabethtown, Pa.
The deal is expected to close on Oct. 1.
JOEL has been the exclusive maker of the Quigley's Cold-Eeze lozenges for cold sufferers since the product was first launched in 1995.
Quigley is exploring whether it will continue manufacturing several other products currently being made by JOEL, including JOEL's line of organic hard candies and lozenges, under the College Farm brand.

A chance i'll have to take for now.D
'bout what I think too. Good post. I really expect it to hit the shelves in lots of places, especially WallyWorld. I'm thinking about getting a few more before the year is out. Think it might hover around these levels .025 - .03 till, like you said mid Jan or there is some great pr. Heck, a dozen boxes in every WallyWorld would put it up over a dime easy.
The green baron has some good info on it and it's one I feel pretty strong about.

In a webcast interview available exclusively on our website at www.*************.com, the CEO of Nicodrops, Christopher Calpito, noted that there are other retailers of significant size that are expected to carry the Nicodrops products. The Green Baron Report would like to see these names surface during the Christmas season, but it is more likely to assume that the Company will wait till the New Year to reveal any new deals. January is expected to be a huge month for Nicodrops!
In discussions with brokers, consultants, and others that have a large interest in NCDP stock, The Green Baron Report feels confident that most of the selling in the stock should be over. We underestimated how many shares that some individuals and previous shell owners would have for sale on this mini-move higher in the stock. However, it appears that these sellers may be just about done, and any turn higher in the stock with a little good news could take it to prices we earlier projected based on earnings.
The New Year always brings new resolutions. We are confident that Nicodrops is diligently working to place as much product as possible on store shelves by the end of January to take advantage of those looking to quit smoking at the beginning of the year. We believe there are some blockbuster announcements still to come in Nicodrops. Please stay tuned!
Here is why I am long on the stock:
1. Simple business model: R&D (done), manufacturing (done - Quigley), distribution (partly done - CVS, maybe Walmart to follow?), and advertising (not done yet, but see #2).
2. Advertising - they just brought in as CMO the guy who marketed Slim Fast to notoriety. Also, like Stacker2 or Coldeez, I can see this product as a spot on Howard Stern - huge potential.
3. No real overhead. They outsource everything. Even if you try to buy the product directly through them, it's through paypal - no customer service, nothing.
4. CEO expected 60% return on revenues.
5. No side effects like Nicoderm or Nicorette, and does not contain Nicotine
6. Has similar name to Nicoderm / Nicorette, and is cheaper. Think about it. Guy wants to quit smoking, walks into CVS, sees 3 products that will help him quit smoking, all with "Nico" in their name - what is the average American consumer going to choose? The cheapest one, and will keep buying if it works.
7. Signed with Chevelle Group to market their stock to the investment community
8. If this stock does well, I can see GlaxoSmithKline buying them and cornering the market on Nicotine withdrawal products.
9. For you technical analysts out there, stock is near 52 week low.
There is real only three X factors at this point, and they are huge, yes:
1. Does the product work?
2. Will we see the advertisement blitz?
3. Are there really no side effects??
My only other concern is about the make up of the product for the U.S. Read below. Lobelia is not allowed in the Nicodrops for U.S. consumption, but allowed for Canadian use. Why? And is this the secret ingredient to the product??? I hope not! I hope it's not like removing ephedra from TrimSpa and marketing TrimSpa light. Without that key ingredient, Trimspa doesn't work.
Nicodrops Herbs
The origin of Ginseng dates back to about 1,500 years ago. To avoid all this confusion about ginseng, the real Ginseng was renamed "koryo Ginseng". Building herb for exhaustion and depletion of vital energy from stress and burn out. Increases capacity from stress and overall energy. Canadian research, both conclusive and preliminary has indicated that ginseng helps to ease the withdrawal symptoms of recovering drug addicts.
The plant was named after a biblical figure, "John the Baptist". It's in peak bloom on June 24th, the birthday of John the Baptist. St. John's Wort predates christianity. Wort, an old English word for plant or root. Soothing and anti-depressant properties. It is also beneficial for the respiratory and immune systems; both of which are damaged by smoking. It is often used to help improve the irritable, stressed disposition of individuals trying to break their addiction from tobacco use.
Valerian comes from the latin word "Valere", which means "to be in good health". Records of valerian's use go back to more than 1,000 years. It is especially beneficial to those experiencing withdrawal from addictive substances and nervous overstrain because it does not possess any of the after-effects produced by narcotics. Valerian is generally recognized as safe and approved for food use by the U.S.F.D.A.
Lobelia has a chemical structure and physiological effects that are similar to nicotine and is believed to mask the withdrawl symptoms of nicotine addiction without itself being addictive. Indicated in the treatment of tobacco (nicotine) addiction. Lessons the desire for nicotine, supports the nervous system and the adrenal glands, and has a cleansing and restorative action on the lungs and bronchi. Calms deeply on all levels. Mimics nicotine and helps quit smoking. (Only in Canadian formulation.)
Ginseng, Valerian and St. John's Wort (US distribution only) is a combination blend that are responsible for handling withdrawl sysmptoms from nicotine addiction. Lobelia added to Ginseng, Valerian and St. John's Wort combination is for Canadian export only. Nicodrops Company working with certified herbalist and a clinical laboratory developed a proprietary formula along with key natural flavors to harness the cause of nicotine addiction.
Accumulating.
There are 70 other products that offer the same result of quitting smoking... I wonder how NCDP is going to break away from the competition. Will it be advertising? Price? Just not sure about that yet.
Oh, and float is 450 million.
True, as I stated before, the 3 big questions are:
1. Does it work?
2. Are there really no side effects?
3. Will the advertising blitz work?
The R&D, Distribution, and Manufacturing is all set.
Zacks and Wall Street Digest Release Findings on Fraudulent Nicodrops Recommendation
Monday December 13, 4:27 pm ET
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 13, 2004--Zacks Investment Research, Inc. and one of Zacks' featured advisors, Donald H. Rowe, and Rowe's publication, The Wall Street Digest, have concluded an investigation into the fraudulent use of our respective brands for the illegal promotion of a California company, Nicodrops, Inc. (Pink Sheets:NCDP - News). It should be noted that Nicodrops management and their investment relations firm, The Cervelle Group, fully cooperated in the investigation, and we believe that they are wholly innocent in this matter.
"Essentially, what we were dealing with here is the spoofing of our widely known brand "Zacks.com Profit from the Pros" in an email by some unscrupulous party to promote the Nicodrops stock for their own personal gain." stated Stephen Reitmeister, EVP of Zacks' Internet Group. "Along with the illegal use of our brand they also falsely featured one of our newsletter experts, Donald Rowe of The Wall Street Digest. The obvious intent here was to use 2 respected names in the investment industry to give their promotion the air of respectability. Neither Donald Rowe nor Zacks.com has any form of recommendation on this stock."
The fraudulent e-mail was sent to an unknown database of investors. Zacks' network administrators have determined that the investment research firm's site security was never compromised during the incident, which took place on or about December 1, 2004. Zacks and The Wall Street Digest will pursue all legal recourse in this matter to bring the guilty parties to justice.

the herbal ingredients contained in nicodrops are available at any pharmacy or vitamin store, and they are cheap.. like $5 for 120 caps.
valerian root is the "calming" herb, st johns wort for "depression", lobelia for "congestion".
so why would people spend $50 for a bunch of candies that you have to eat 6+ of per DAY (ick) when you can just buy the caps for super cheap?
if the merchandising is good, and the drops arent hidden back with the other stop-smoking stuff, perhaps people will pick 'em up and not read whats in them.
but for $50, i read what im buying.
to create revenue they need to find a whole new crop of smokers-who-wanna-quit who haven't tried all the natural rememdies (these herbs have been touted for years to "calm u" when u want to quit) and who arent jaded about quitting in general, who are willing to spend yes another $50 on yet another possible "solution".
read the info on lobelia: perhaps they funded nicer studies in their favor, but in the past the feedback has been negative. http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/learning/healthguide/healthguide_content.jhtml?Category=Herb&title=Lobelia&relativePath=%2Fcontent%2Fhealthnotes%2FHerb%2FLobelia.htm
now price out the herbs that are in the nicodrops candies on that same site.
the younger generation doesnt really smoke (say, the eco-boomers) so the market will dwindle there...
older people i think have given up trying to quit.
all in all, i think the product will be a quick gimmick and make some sales if the merchandising is good at CVS but i foresee a long-term flop.
i do wish it would work tho. itd be nice to quit!
but if i saw this in cvs? id pick it up and say "junk".
~BB
1. Yes, if you price out the 3 herbs independently, I'm sure that they are cheaper. But that's like saying you can buy sugar, caramel, and carbonated water at cheaper prices, so why buy Coke? Don't you think that it's more complicated than that? You are almost comparing the product to when Peanut Butter and Jelly came in the same jar (wait, wasn't that a sucess??)
2. Perhaps you are correct about who wants to quit smoking and who doesn't... but the bottom line is, there will always be smokers, and those that want to quit.
3. Lobelia is not offered in the U.S. version of Nicodrops, perhaps because of the potential side effects. But then again, Nicodrops claims they have no side effects!
Seems to me, that if it does work, with no side effects, and it is cheaper than what is currently offered in CVS or Walgreen's, than smokers who wish to quit will buy it. I don't think you'll have a run of people saying "Wait a minute, if I mix these 3 herbs together, I'll cure myself!"
many before me questioned if the drops (which arent drops at all, but lozenges) worked. i simply offered my opinion, for what it is worth, and posted some DD on the herbs.
I've used the herbs, so i feel entitled to offer my opinion. and if i used them in the past to try to quit, i imagine a lot of people have, and will think the same thing i thought when i read the ingredients.
Repoman75, def an argument for your points. I thought of all of those, I was just exploring the other side of the coin, and there were too many questions in my mind as to what is "new" about this product, my reson for not buying in at this time.
I'm sure it'll all be new to some. I just think there are so many products out there, and so many people who have tried the "natural rememdies" conained in this product for a fraction of the price, that I don't foresee a big WOW factor to create a big boom in the smoking-cessation market.
Lobelia, otherwise known as "indian tobacco", would actually make this product more interesting to me, having not been so familiar with it, but it isnt going to be in the US version.
I'd love to be convinced otherwise. Always looking for a new play, and this could def be a great one to "trade" but noticing that others have posted that they put thousands in for long term.. made me look closer.
So, sheesh, no offense. Food for thought for those of us that like to think through all sides.
glta.

I agree with your point that other herbal remedies currently exist that do not contain Nicotine, claim to have no side effects, and are probably cheaper than say Nicorette. I e-mailed them last week asking them to outline their competetive advantages over such products (have not received a response as of yet).
My biggest fear (besides if they work or not) is the advertising aspect. Once the merchandise is on the shelves, they need to BLITZ the market with ads - TV, radio (Howard Stern would be perfect - I can hear Bababooey now doing an ad on this), print. THAT is how you differentiate yourself from similar competition.
The American public is a sucker for something newer, cheaper, simpler. If it is cheap, they'll buy it. If it works, they'll keep buying it.
The potential is just to big on this stock to pass it up.
And as a side note for you daytraders, you damn well know that when they announce Walmart or Walgreen's in the next few weeks as another distributor, it may hit .03 again. So why not load up now when it's cheap?
fyi compound cash, at least my argument is better than yours: pump it b/c you have money in it.

THIS IS NO JOKE, I WILL LET THE BOARD KNOW IF I AM ABLE TO MARKET AND PROMOTE NICODROPS. I'M SURE THEY WILL NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A SALARY ONCE THIS ONE SPREADS.

Plus, look at products like Trimspa, that were deemed to be unsafe, nevermind work, and they still sell.
Besides, my strategy is to hold through the distribution of the product, and through the 1st and possibly 2nd sales announcements, and rethink from there.

All we have is testimonials. A third party is
not available at this time. We do have clinical studies done in South Korea at Samsung University(2004) and their students. However, it will not be available in
the near future as it is writtn only in Korean via Dae Han Pharama Inc.(pharmaceuticals) who did represent
Nicodrops during their in-house clinical trials. I cannot guarantee that this report will be available soon or later. Sorry to be very direct, but I can only go factual circumstances and current information.
I can only suggest that our product does work!
Remember that the patch, gum and lozenge contains POLACRILEX(nicotine based ion-exchange resin) versus Nicodrops drug-free, no nicotine all herbal lozenge.
FYI... Whatever you choose, good luck!
Happy New Year, Christopher CEO Nicodrops Inc.

It looks as though this will trake some time to shake out. What do you see as a good entry point?? On the comparioson if Stern bows out sat. radio will still grow and remain. Stern is not the core product. Mario is MLON so it would tank. If the nicodrop is deemed useless it is done. It looks really good so far. It really looks like one stock prowler would lash onto and recomend. In any case I plan on buying in. How long have some of you been in this??? I see it was down near a penny not too long ago..anyone in since then??
But, just remember, news releases about 2nd and 3rd distribution center are just around the corner... could push it up again.
Nicodrops, Inc. (NCDP)
The quiet period over the last two weeks has not been kind to Nicodrops. After extremely active trading and price movement in mid December following our reports and great news from the Company, NCDP has fallen victim to the holiday lull. The Green Baron Report still expects Nicodrops to get active once again. We anticipate many more large contracts to surface in the coming months that should propel NCDP stock to higher highs.
It is now obvious to us that the float in NCDP is probably closer to 90-100 million shares. However, this does not alter our opinion that NCDP ought to be trading much higher. We believe most of the selling by the original shell owners and others is just about completed, and a bounce off or near our original profile price of .017 is likely. Once again, as mentioned in our webcast with Chris Calpito, the Company is anticipating two more large store chains to carry Nicodrops. If you wish to listen to the webcast, please go to http://www.*************.com/CEO%20Webcast.htm.
Dear Valued CVS Customer,
Thank you for contacting CVS, I apologize for the long wait for a response. I have now been informed that the Nicodrops is an AntiNicotine Herbal Lozenge and they should be in the stores right now. It is a temporary program. It is a clip strip that should be hanging from one of the shelves. It may not become a regularly carried item. It will
depend on the future sales of this product. If you call the store they can probably help you locate it or if you prefer I would be glad to call the store for you. If you forward your zip code I could attempt to contact the store closest to that zip code and help you locate this item.
Either way, thank you again for contacting us and for your continued patronage of CVS.
Sincerely,
Diane M. Parent
Customer Relations
CVS Store Support Center
10 years of R&D !!!! are you nuts
This is the pivital point!!!
BUY NICODROPS AT CVS!!!
i explained the product is new. they said to call in a week or so and talk to the manager of the store to see if they are getting a new product by that name.
~BB
1. The kid at CVS said they haven't really been selling, that is no surprise. Word is just starting to get out after New Years.
2. They said There is another order coming in tommarow or wednesday. The kid knew i wanted a bunch.
3. The way it was set up in the store was behind the counter there is all of the tobacco products. On the top shelf was all nicorrete, like 20 kinds. Nicodrops was hanging from a string on the side of the display. This is both good and bad. Good because the box looks like crap next to nicorrete. Bad because the back of the box is actually pretty convincing.
4. The lozenge is brown. (looks like crap)
It appears on the cover of box. (not good)
5. It doesn't taste very good but I can see how someone could get used to it. I've tasted ginseng and st. johns and you can definately taste them in the lozenge (bad thing) Althought the corn syrup does do a fairly good job of making them. It was in mint flavor. Overall not bad.
6. A problem I noticed was on the box does it mention that there is no nicotine, but in small letters as an "anti nicotine product" Obviously if you read the directions, you would figure that out. But this is a major distinguishing factor/ separation from competitors! i think it needs to be emphasized
7. I don't smoke cigs, i just wanted to taste for myself. I will test this product on a friend trying to quit this week.
8. Go buy nicodrops and nicodrop stocks. It will come back to you!
[This message has been edited by compound cash (edited January 03, 2005).]
E-mail your observations to the company. I did last week and received a reply back from the CEO. So in all likelihood, he is reading the e-mails right now. Never know, he may take up your suggestions (they also sounded good).
So far it looks like it is a worthy product SHORT TERM. It looks like it controls cravings. As for quitting, that'll take another month. I will keep everyone posted on the efficiency of this product.
what do you normally smoke, how much do you smoke per day, and how long have you been smoking for?
and "smoked morning".. is that smoked 1 or smoked 10 knowing you couldnt have them in the evening?
thx,
~BB

The test is on a friend
Normally smokes 1-10 a day
4 year smoker
Usually marlboro lights
"smoked morning" is 1 cig.
He doesn't know when he'll be given the nicodrop, this eliminates any abnormal behavior.
[This message has been edited by compound cash (edited January 04, 2005).]
try this for incentive (tho it still doesnt get me to quit):
1 pack per day @ 8.25 per pack = $3000 per year.
that's 167,000 shares of this stock. LOL
can you tell me the price of the drops, and how many were in each pack? i like getting the details.
thx!

New York to Boston, I'm planting the Nicodrop seeds on the east coast months before this thing explodes.
20 Million Smokers Resolve to Quit in 2005...Again
New Research Shows Individualized Web-Based Support Program Can Boost Chances of Success by Nearly 30 Percent
PITTSBURGH, PA, Jan. 04, 2005 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Nearly half of America's smoking population -- more than 20 million people -- say they want to quit smoking in 2005...again, according to a new survey. What's new? This year, smokers trying to quit will be able to take advantage of an individualized Web-based support system that has been clinically proven to increase the chances of smoking cessation success.
For most smokers, 2005 won't be the first year they've tried to quit. The survey of more than 2,000 Americans found that 82 percent of smokers have tried to quit at least once, and one out of five smokers (20 percent) have tried to quit five or more times.
Smokers rate worries about the psychological and behavioral challenges of quitting as high as the physical challenges, like withdrawal symptoms. Nearly equal numbers of smokers worry about fading willpower (72 percent) and finding themselves around people and in places or situations where they'd be tempted to smoke (71 percent), as about cigarette cravings (75 percent) and irritability (73 percent). By providing smokers with individualized tools, tips and information,.

Nicodrops looks good compared to ALL of the others.
How does nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) work?
"NRT works by replacing the nicotine obtained from cigarettes with nicotine delivered by the patch, gum, lozenge or inhaler.
Some smokers confuse symptoms of withdrawal from tobacco with the side effects of NRT. They may become tense, agitated, depressed, have disturbed sleep or crave cigarettes when using NRT. These can be symptoms of nicotine withdrawal."

But I am long and strong with almost 300K shares. Next PR will drive us up to .03 ... we basically have to wait until the 1st sales release. They said that they have practically NO overhead, so any kind of decent sales should push this thing. Plus you have the Canadian, EU, and soon to be Asian Markets. Plus, we haven't see ANY advertising yet - the dude from Slimfast better be brainstorming right now.
It sucks to see your life savings cut in 1/2 (I'm in at .027), but this is the 1 stock I will illustrate patience with. Right now, my main concern is that it works - I would love to see some type of 3rd party review, not just testimonials.

I felt the outside of the packaging was decent and might prompt me to pick it up if I was in the store, but it pales next to the other quit-smoking competition. The lozenges themselves are allright though the white wrappers make them look like someone made them in their garage. Anyway, I am not saying that these won't sell, but I hope they listen to the criticism and upgrade the packaging. I am going to give them to my smoker buddy to try out. I will report back.

Well she just called me and told me she was going through the valentine's day inventory and at the bottom of one of the boxes was three boxes of Nicodrops.
I just picked up all three boxes. The box itself
is eye catching and right under the Nicodrops logo is says "Anti Nicotine Herbal Lozenge"
I do not smoke but tried one anyway. It had a good taste and was wrapped in a silver wrapper.
It did seem to have a calming effect. I gave one to my brother (a non-smoker) and he said the same thing. The ultimate test will be to have my wife try them, she is a smoker. She will try them tomorrow.
The effect is relaxing. I wonder if they should try to capture stressed out people's business as well. I think if you put this next to the other stop smoking items it will have a great chance for success.
Nicodrops .... Long and strong

Believe me, I need calming effects!! I am a nervous wreck and wish something non-addicting could help me.

During the time in which it was going down I called and emailed the company on several occasions with no response. I then called CVS to make sure they had it, inorder to make sure it wasn't just some scam. I called my local store and then 3 others within a 10 mile radius of my home. None! They had not even heard of it. So they recommended I call their 800 #. They too told me that they had no idea what I was talking about.
Now, you'd think if this product was as hot as they say, the store that was supposed to sell it would atleast know what it is. But that isn't always the case.
So it seems that the only sure fire way to get it is through their online order form or by calling them.
As for whether it works, well that can be debated. I've heard several different results. From those who own shares in the company I've heard it is wonderful. But from those who have used it, and have not been owners, I've been told it doesn't work at all.
Hmmmmm........
That's understandable though. If I owned stock in it still I'd probably say it works too. Anyhooo.
The one thing I know about business is supply and demand. Well, it seems there is short supply without much demand. So what would that tell you. It's probably not all that the stock holders have been cracking it up to be.
On top of all of this it is still a pink. Need I say more.
Anyway, that is just my honest opinion. Buy if you want but take what I just said into consideration.

If you want to try the product, order it from NCDP's web site.

I'm in to... at .27. Big deal, let this thing go up a penny or down a penny. Just wait until the other 2 distributors are named, it should give us enough of a cushion to relax... then, if the sales are good, this thing most likely will get swallowed up by Glaxo (why not? they can corner the market). Either way, we all retire millionaires in 2 years.

Back over .01 again. I wouldn't worry about subpenny land... the only people selling right now are the shell holders probably.
Wait until May... good things coming. Like I said, just hibernate for now.

Canadian stores probably in late summer, early Fall. Also, 2 European manufacturing agreements this year sometime. Then Asia next year.
And this isn't the explosion, just the trend reversal.

Stealx, the Enquirer is national, and has more readers than you might believe. You cannot expect them to start with GQ. Enquirer ad rates are reasonable compared with others when you consider nationwide coverage.

Sounds like they are definitely moving forward. Unfortunately, I have gone back to dipping (Skoal). However, I am going to pick up another box of Nicodrops this weekend and give it another try. You know, see if they really do ease the craving. Of course, I am going to mix in exercise as well.

Originally posted by Northerlights#5:
NCDP has zero debt and Walgreens has had two orders at 50,000 boxes per orders for a total of 100,000. NCDP makes $3 profit per wholesale box sold, so just from the first 2 Walgreens orders NCDP has $300,000 profits.

I should have worded my question a little better. What I meant to ask was how do you know that each case nets NCDP 60% profit?
Thanks

The first ad of NCDP’s ad blitz is already on the shelves; Woman’s World has the ad running in its August 16th issue which is already on shelves. The ad is on page 47 on the right hand side. They changed the ad a little bit from the ads that ran back in June; in red across the top of the ad it states “A SMOKING ALTERNATIVE”, below that they have the “Nicødrops” logo, everything else in the ad is the same as the old ads.

ed19363, the adverting campaign is not meant to move the stock price but instead move product, the more Nicodrops NCDP sells now the better the stock will do down the line.
