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.

Once consumers see how well Nicodrops works, we believe the potential demand can be overwhelming making Nicodrops a permanent fixture of the CVS inventory.''

In addition to getting the products in retail outlets, we are simultaneously initiating an aggressive marketing and advertising campaign to build product and brand name awareness.''

I'm in. Didn't expect it to drop much and bought in at .027 but I'm still happy. This this has got to be good.

Love to see WallyWorld pick it up. They carry all the other stop smoking aids so maybe......who knows?

I looked on the CVS website and they are not showing it yet as available in the stop smoking aid catagory. Hope they do regular up dates on the site. I'll keep checking and post if I find it.

Hope this stuff taste better than Nicor....tt. I chewed on them for a few months and 'bout wore out a couple of molars.

Wish I'd been on top of this when dadog first posted. Day late/dollar short, that's me.

Dakota told you that......

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.

Hot damn, in the words of the imortal C.J McCall, "We got ourselves a convoy"

I'm pumped on this one.

Dakota told you that......

P.S. Hope my son don't read this and sells the new house to get in........love ya boy.

Dakota said it right. If this product works, we are millionaires. This business model is EXTREMELY simple - distribution, advertising, production. That it! And they have 2 out of 3 (the big ads will be coming in 2005 in my opinion once the product is in the stores). That's it. They probably have close to no employees, because everything is outsourced. It's perfect. If it works, they are sitting on a goldmine.

Very nice PR.

My fav. part is:

...fully funded at this time, has little overhead...

They dont need cash anymore, no more selling shares now, the only way we can go is up unless MM start playing stupid but I think buying pressure will be too strong.

Even if next weeks are holidays and volume will be slow, I can't wait to see how it's gonna go...I'M holding this one till the big boys come back from vacation mid-january.

It may be a while to see the stuff on the shelves. IMO they have just started mass producing it, and shipping will take time too. BUT, I agree this could be REALLY big. GLTA.

Love to see WallyWorld pick it up. They carry all the other stop smoking aids so maybe......who knows?

I looked on the CVS website and they are not showing it yet as available in the stop smoking aid catagory. Hope they do regular up dates on the site. I'll keep checking and post if I find it.

Hope this stuff taste better than Nicor....tt. I chewed on them for a few months and 'bout wore out a couple of molars.

Wish I'd been on top of this when dadog first posted. Day late/dollar short, that's me.

Dakota told you that......

The Green Baron Report has uncovered that Quigley Manufucturing currently manufactures and distributes Cold-Eeze, the lozenge that claims it is “clinically proven to reduce the duration of the common cold” and that product is now selling in stores such as Costco. We are blown away by the possibilities of this relationship, and we are astounded by the profit margin of over 60% that will be generated by Nicodrops.

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!!!

Here's some old news on Quigley:

August 20, 2004
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.

ANyway, I'm not selling now.

I just dumped for a decent profit. This looks like it could take a while (needed the money for some different plays). Hopefully I can get back in before it takes off, I think we are looking at early to mid January before we see anything big with this (allows them time to get their product in circulation0 but knowing my luck they will announce a deal with wal mart or something and it will shoot up to .45 or something like that. A chance i'll have to take for now.

'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.

Any comments about the steady decline over the past couple days? Im wondering if this is was predicted as normal before the forcasted boom in January.
 
Posted by travman on :
 
Isn't that the same as this statement previously released? I don't understand what that statement regarding the "European Community" fits? Yes, they got the CANADIAN FDA approval (equivalanet to the US FDA) but what doe this have to do with any approval in the EC? It is almost like a section has been cut out.

i.e. "....received approval from the Canadian equivalent of the US FDA(1). (something missing?, possilby, they are filing an application with??) the European Community (EC) to allow the company to distribute its ...."

Here is the previously released statement: "Nicodrops, developer of the world's first drug-free, non-nicotine smoking cessation lozenge, announced recently that it has formally received approval from the Canadian Food and Drug Administration for their smoking cessation lozenge"

I hope they can advertise big. I have some shares, and hope it catches on, but who knows. There is so many ads for the competitors.
 
Posted by compound cash on :
 
Why are people saying that January is the month it will explode? Simply speaking, there will be many with the new years resolution to quit smoking. If you or someone you know is trying to quit, go buy them a pack of NICODROPS. It's 10 bucks, no sweat. If they say it doesn't work, please report it to the message board. I will do this myself. On the other hand if it does work, then they will become both a customer and promoter of the product. Please report anything of this nature back to the message board. Power to the people!! Power to the investors. Customers are the reason businesses can start, lets help out in any way!

I AM VERY INTERESTED IN THIS STOCK, NOT BECAUSE I THINK LUNG CANCER IS A PREVENTABLE EPIDEMIC, BUT BECAUSE I HAVE MY MONEY IN THIS COMPANY. I WILL TEST IT ON A FRIEND AND COMPARE IT TO OTHER MEANS. I AM ALSO ATTEMPTING TO WORK CLOSELY WITH NICODROPS. THEY HAVE MY CELL PHONE NUMBER BECAUSE I CALLED THEM WITH IDEAS ON PROMOTING NICODROPS HERE IN NYC. 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.

*************.com has again renewed faith in NCDP - I am long 300,000 shares at .027... just wish I had more money to buy now!

Nicodrops, Inc. (NCDP)

New Year’s Resolution: Quit Smoking?

CVS Pharmacies to stock Nicodrops, so who is next?

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!

funny one bundo, nice post repo. I'd like to hear more on ncdp from the board. I mean mlon and qbid have a cult following. We should do the same minus the talk about holidays, vacation, and dinner and more about news, dd, analysis, charts, updates, links, reports, things of this manor that make people wanna buy and not throw up instead.
 
Posted by Repoman75 on :
 
I agree compound. As I stated before, the damn thing is at .019 and I have absolutely no cash left to buy. I'm almost thinking about liquidating other positions that I'm waiting on to pop just to grab more. Long and strong with 300K.

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.

Posted by Repoman75 on :
 
Just e-mailed them to ask them for a comparison of their product vs CigArrest, another non-nicotine product that uses Lobelia.

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.
 


Posted by kflk235 on :
 
While I hate to be pessimistic regarding the "great potential" of this stock, there are so many questions that need to be answered before this stock can succeed. First, despite its distribution with CVS, why am I unable to find it for sale with it's other competitors online? Secondly, does it work? There has been no certifiable evidence besides "customer testimonials" to suggest this product can break away from its competitors. Green Baron can report all it wants on the "potential" of a stock, but again, much of what has been written is speculative and the 1Q of 2005 IMO will be make or break.
 
Posted by Repoman75 on :
 
I agree with you to some extent.
It is posted online on various Quit Smoking web sites, but inevitably, they all point to nicodrops .com if you wish to actually order them.

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.

nicodrps obviously would not put their company on the line to take part in any of that. INNOCENT. I cashed in 10 grand of my stock mutual funds for straight up stocks. The money is coming this week and I will put 3 grand in Nicodrops and here's why. According to Bram Solloway,Senior Analyst and Managing Director at Maxwell Capital Inc., what overides competition, market price, etc. is PEOPLE. Choose who you want to believe people, but to me this makes perfect sense. In the case of Nicodrops, the people involved iclude a dedicated CEO an experienced director of sales, an experinced manufacuring company, and others involved in an international effort. I trust my money with this combination.
 
Posted by user095263 on :
 
im not in this one, but its a slow day, so thought id offer my opinion as to why im not in...

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".

Bettingbabe, here's my argument:

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!"
 


Posted by compound cash on :
 
betting babe, you are clueless. To say that a product is not worth the price b/c of the sum of the ingredients is dumb. Why do people pay money for chocalate chip cookies when you can buy plain cookies and stick chocalate chips in them? Because it is easier. Nicodrops are easier than buying the ingredients and making your own. Poor arguement "babe."
 
Posted by jordanreed on :
 
i tend to agree. people are always looking for something new and cheaper. this is what nicodrops has to offer. besides-if you play it as a penny,then you should make some money. the price will raise with new contracts and such.
 
Posted by user095263 on :
 
actually, those that know me on the board know im not "clueless" compound cash..
but you havent been around very long so thats ok. i dont mind if you insult me. i do just fine at this 'lil trading thing without having to impress others.

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.

BB,

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?

agreed repo..
like i said, it's all in the merchandising!

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.

betting babe, i'll pump and defend as well. It's very easy to criticize a stock because there are many fronts were there can be problems. Nicodrops work, this is the only barrier to riches. Once people start quitting b/c of nicodrops, news will spread through word of mouth.

I have been checking this out and it looks promising. Let me play devils advocate for a min. I see nowhere that it works. One pr saying it does and it flies. One pr that states it does not and it will dump like no tommorow and will never climb from the grave....comments??

Can't argue with that. But isn't that true for so many stocks? If Howard Stern drops dead, buh bye SIRI. If Mario gets indicted, buh bye MLON.

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.

I sent an e-mail and received a response... not sure how to interpret it (good or bad) South Korea? Maybe they are gearing up for the Asian market??? I don't know.
My question is at the bottom:


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??


 


Posted by Repoman75 on :
 
I'm not going to recommend an entry point, because I would say now is great!

But, just remember, news releases about 2nd and 3rd distribution center are just around the corner... could push it up again.

One of the questions that keeps getting reposted is whether it works or not. St.Johns Wort has been around and used for depression for a long time. Apparently no one here has made the connection between this and Wellbutrin or Zyban (same thing) if you will. It is also indicated for depression but a few years ago was approved for nicotine withdrawal. So connect the dots please. May not have the same antidepressent effect but throw in the other 2 ingredients and you have a viable alternative to nicorette.
Btw, would like to add that its main competitor (commit) cannot be used with nicorette since a person would be risking a nicotine overdose. This can be used in addition to the nicorette patch if one is so inclined to use it in that manner. Will be in CVS next week or so and buying some to try out on the wife.

Update from Greenbaron.com if you're interested:

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.

More updates. They need to get the advertising campaign started soon...

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

ok i just got off the phone with cvs here in ny. they said they have 3 packs left. i dont know if thats all they ordered or thats all thats left after people bought them. whatever the case, i'm leaving soon to go get one. i will keep all of my fellow shareholders trying to get rich posted. call up your local cvs. you guys want a pr, then we can help cause one.
 
Posted by compound cash on :
 
I can keep you guys posted on sales because i know people at this cvs. If we work together we can put this valuable resource (internet message board) to use. Because we span all over the country and so does cvs, and probably the other two "mass merchandisers" in chris calpitto's terms, we can all see the nicodrops story unfold right now as it is hitting shelves. To me it is exciting. I'm in at . 18,.19,.20,.22,.24,27,.30...and I'm pumped

hello

called my cvs in nyc and they don't carry it. went as far as to have the pharmacist look it up.

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.

OK, I'm back, bought the last 3 packs in the . (32.50) A couple things:

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!

oh without a doubt, but I think the biggest PPS jump will occur after sales are announced though. I think when q2 sales come out then we'll see another big one. The sales have to go up immensley from just being in more places, even if each store doesn't sell much.
 
Posted by compound cash on :
 
So far, so good with the experiment guys!!
This stuff might really work!!! Day 2 results: Smoked in morning (no lozenge)
Smoked in afternoon (no lozenge)
Controlled After diner craving (lozenge)
Controlled craving 2 (another lozenge)

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.

cc,
just to set the groundwork for your test:

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,

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.

betting babe, guess you aint clueless, you're fom NYC, the best city in the world. If the CVS by me has them, they should be by you any day. I'm sending a pack to my friend in boston, hopefully once he gets hooked he'll let me know if they hit boston's cvs's yet. New York to Boston, I'm planting the Nicodrop seeds on the east coast months before this thing explodes.
 
Posted by user095263 on :
 
well, once they carry them online, theyll have hit all the stores.

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!

9.99 a pack. 20 lozenges per pack. Instructions on the back of the box say about 100 lozenges to quit. If this is true, the competition gets blown out of the water.

COMPANY NEWS AND PRESS RELEASES FROM OTHER SOURCES:

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,.

I agree. Long term we are sitting on a gold mine here. As long as they get the goddamn product out there and then start blitzing the market with advertising. They are missing the New Year's resolutions!

I'm shipping a bag to my brother in law in Florida. He wants to quit dipping, so I told him to try this! We'll see what his comments are.

Hey -
Entertaining thread here, and a very promising product! Do you think it would be worthwhile to seek out some "smoker's anonymous" type message boards or chats and drop the Nicodrop name? There's bound to be forums for that kind of thing, and they'd be a hotbed of potential consumers! I'm going to purchase some for my mother and a good friend of mine, both trying rather unsuccessfully to quit for some time.

As for the main competition, nicorette:

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."

This thing smells worse than my dumps at this point.

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.
 


Posted by kflk235 on :
 
I guess if we've learned anything about this stock....lets stop hyping it up until it does something. Again, everyone likes to reassure everyone else that everything is peaches and cream, but with what factual evidence? As the last post stated, nicodrops isn't advertising, it isn't proven to work, and it has dropped enormously since we bought into it. In an email posted from the CEO earlier this week, they don't even have a marketing or advertising plan devised yet. This should have been done well in advance for the anticipation of the New Year. I am awfully dissapointed in this company, and will be getting out as soon as I possibly can.
 
Posted by ed19363 on :
 
Normally, I would say this is a good opportunity to load up on more shares. However, this has to be an individual decision, so do the DD and hope you made the right one. IMO, I just bought more.

Yeah, I may sell my MLON just to drop my cost basis. Bottom line is, people have seen the product in CVS, so it is out there. And we haven't seen any people, even bashers, say it doesn't work yet... I agree they are not on the ball with starting the advertising, but still lots to go on with this stock.

this is a co. trying to make its way in a huge market. just the very early stages. this takes a long time. very typical of these to have spikes and then settle back down. this is slowly going to make us money if we are patient. stocks go up,then go down. hopefully,in the long run, the ups will outweigh the downs.or buy on the dips and sell at some profit.

Advanced Plant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. -OTC BB 'APPI'- Selects New President of Sales & Marketing




April 16, 2003--Advanced Plant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: APPI - News) is proud to announce that they have selected Joel Appel, best known for his work with Ultra Slim Fast, as new president of sales and marketing for APPI.
Mr. Appel brings to APPI many years of experience in sales and marketing of OTC brands. Mr. Appel began his career at Proctor & Gamble serving in the position of Territory Manager, Unit Manager and District Manager. While at Proctor & Gamble, Mr. Appel introduced Pampers Disposable Diapers and won an award for selling the most disposable diapers in the United States. During the 70's, 80's and 90's Mr. Appel was involved in sales and marketing of some very familiar brands, Oxy 5, Tums, Aqua Net and Orajel, just to name a few. During the early 80's he was Senior Executive VP at Jeffrey Martin where he served on the Board of Directors. In the late 80's Mr. Appel held the position of Senior VP of Sales with Thompson Medical where he was part of the team that introduced Ultra Slim Fast. More recently Mr. Appel held the position of Senior VP of Sales with GenDerm Health Care. While at GenDerm he helped reposition ZOSTRIX and ZOSTRIX -HP from ethically promoted and positioned products to consumer (OTC) products. The brand grew from 6 million to over 20 million dollars in sales in less than two years.

Mr. Appel said, "I'm excited about the potential APPI's patented product Lo-Chol has in the 20 billion dollar cholesterol market here in the United States". Mr. Appel further stated, "APPI has unique products which are in demand worldwide, in addition to Lo-Chol, I will be preparing a marketing plan for Sinusol".

About Lo-Chol

Lo-Chol derived from whole plants, is a patented natural formula proven in clinical studies to help tip your lipid balance (good and bad cholesterol) towards a more normal level. Clinical research shows that Lo-Chol helped test subjects lower total cholesterol up to 29%, triglycerides 45%, increased HDL (good cholesterol) 60%, and improved the ratio of HDL to LDL 46%. Lo-Chol doesn't contain extracts, instead, it utilizes the entire part of a specific plant that is processed and standardized to deliver optimum potency and nutritional benefits. Lo-Chol contains a full-spectrum of phyto-chemicals derived from natural plants, ingredients that science and medicine have identified as having excellent health properties. The cholesterol market in the U.S. is estimated to be more than 15 billion dollars annually.

About Sinusol

Sinusol, developed in concert with a leading board certified Allergy and Sinus specialist, is a unique nasal and sinus solution that pleasantly cleanses and moisturizes the nasal and sinus mucosa. Sinusol thins nasal solutions to clear stuffy and blocked allergic nasal passages as well as relieves sneezing and sinus pressure. Sinusol is the safe and natural alternative to over the counter nasal sprays and saline products that contain irritating preservatives and additives. Sinusol is a unique blend of natural essential oils that have been formulated for nasal moisturizing, cleansing and sinus irrigation. Sinusol can be used when health care providers recommend solutions for relief of stuffiness, dryness, congestion and irritated membranes of the nose, sinuses and throat. Sinusol is a physician recommended pure alternative with no preservatives such as iodine, thimersol (merthiolate), disodium edetate, phenylcarbinol, potassium sorbate, sodium silicoaluminate, or benzalkonium chloride that can further irritate mucosal surfaces.

Ok, enough is enough! I'm hungover, downright broke, mad as Hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!!!

I'm writing Nicodrop management, and CC'ing the Cervelle Group, with some of my (our) concerns. I plan on sending this early next week. All of you NCDP shareholders, read it, and tell me if any inaccuracies exist. Also let me know if there are any other questions you would like answered. Enough is enough!


Dear Nicodrops,

I am writing this e-mail on behalf of myself, a shareholder in your fledgling company, and also on behalf of other shareholders, who together hold approximately 5 million shares of your compnay's stock. We are all supporters of your product, your management team, and your company, and have faith that in the future, Nicodrops will show a great rate of return to its current shareholders. Some of us have tested the product, and do agree that so far, it does actually seem to work as advertised! We have been here since the beginning, and are willing to continue to be shareholders through thick and thin

We would just like some further insight into your marketing / distribution strategy. It appears that Nicodrops has reached a "crossroads" of sort, a defining moment in the company's growth stage. We ask these questions not as those who wish to shout the information from the top of the mountain, but merely to reassure ourselves that Nicodrops is on the path to prosperity. As you already know, this week, in terms of share price, was not reassuring! I realize that you may not be able all of these questions, but any insights you can share would go a long way in keeping your loyal shareholders confident that their investment shows promise.

1. Distribution - In December, 2004, you had mentioned during your webcast that you were attempting to have 2 more distributors market Nicodrops. Can you give any update on this development? If you cannot release the names of the retailers, can you give some clue as to where they are located? Are they regional or national retailers? Will they be receiving Nicodrops on a trial basis only? How many units do you expect to ship initially? When can we expect these announcements?

2. CVS - In December, 2004, we all read the press release concerning Nicodrops using CVS as their first national retailer. However, to date, many of us have had trouble finding Nicodrops in many of the CVS's near our homes. Also, they are not listed on the CVS web site. After contacting CVS, we have been told by CVS representatives that CVS will only be stocking Nicodrops on a trial basis; restocking of Nicodrops will depend upon the demand of the product by CVS customers. They also mentioned that it "should" appear on their website soon, however, no date was given. Can you give any futher details on the CVS deal? Will you be stocking a majority of CVS stores with Nicodrops, or only select markets? Is it true that CVS is only stocking Nicodrops on a trial basis, and if so, can you give any assurances at this time that CVS will continue to stock Nicodrops in the future? Also, have the sugar-free lozenges been shipped to CVS retailers? We have only been able to find the sugar Nicodrops in stores near us.

3. Advertising - First, let me say that it extremely satisfying to see that you have brought Joel Appel on board to lead your Marketing team. Many of us have done our homework on Joel, and believe his past accomplishments speak for great volumes in terms of his marketing skills. In your December, 2004, press release, you had mentioned that you had hoped to capitalize on many consumers New Year's resolutions to quit smoking. Considering that the product is beginning to appear in CVS stores and is available online via your website, are you planning some massive advertising campaign to still capitalize on the New Year's consumer? In what form can we expect this advertising - television, print, radio, etc.? And when can we expect to see some type of aggressive advertising? I believe Nicorette has just invented their own lozenge, and I myself have seen their commercial at least 3 times since the New Year.

4. Financial - I believe during your webcast you stated that your company possessed very little overhead, and that you are expecting a 60% return on revenues. What is the timeframe for this expecation? When will your company share any sales figures for the product? Do you have any expectations in terms of earnings?

5. Stock price - You had also mentioned during your webcast of 12/04, that you had hoped to have your company listed on the OTCBB. What is the progress toward this goal? I know bringing aboard The Chervelle Group was a step in the right direction. However, when can we expect such a listing to occur? Are you planning any splits (reverse or forward)? Are you planning on buying back, or diluting shares in the future?

6. Product - As I stated above, many of us have purchased and used your product. We have an observation that we would like to share about the packaging of the product. On the packaging, in our opinion, there is not a bold enough statement that Nicodrops contains NO nicotine! If you read the directions, it becomes apparent. However, this, besides your cost, is perhaps your biggest selling point. We are suggesting perhaps you can redesign the packaging in the near future to emphasize this trait.

7. International - In past press releases, you mentioned that your company had received EU and Canadian approval to market Nicodrops. Is there any update as to where the company stands in terms of making its product available to other countries? Have foreign retailers been brought on board, or will they be brought on board soon? Also, you had mentioned that you were looking to enter the Asian market in the near future. Any update on entry to this market?

8. Testimonials - As I said, many of us have tested the product, and so far, feel it does work to some extent in limiting the craving for nicotine. However, besides testimonials on your website, there has not been any independent 3rd party confirmation that Nicodrops is effective. I know you did some clinical studies in South Korea, and that documentation from those studies do exist. Do you plan to release any type of information to the public concerning these studies? Also, do you plan on utilizing an independent 3rd party to verify if Nicodrops is effective?

I appreciate your time in possibly answering some of the above inquiries. Again, I am just one of many shareholders who feel you have a tremendous product on your hand, and would just like to feel confident that you and your company are taking the necessary steps in bringing the product to market.

Again, thanks for your time.

NCDP shareholder

repo, that is great! [Wink] i thank you for taking the time to write and send that in on our behalf. I dont know what kind of response we (you) will get, but at least they will know we are out here and we are aware. I agree with a super bowl add, but that costs a bundle. I am checking in my cvs stores here in indiana, have not seen any yet. again, great job on the letter.

Thanks repoman for making it known to Nicodrops that we do indeed hold a lot of shares in their company. Collectively, shareholders can be very powerful, and thus far, Nicodrops has essentially slowed down in what seems every aspect of marketing a product. I think we are all anticipating their response to your email. Thanks again.

If anyone thinks I should change the amount of shares we are representing (5 million to conservative?), let me know that too.

Nice job repo. I can't tell you how much it kills me to know I could have gotten twice the amount of NCDP stock by waiting 2 weeks. Same thing with mlon. If anyone else is feeling this way, just remind yourself what time will do to these 2 stocks.

Anybody know where I might be able to find Nicodrops in LA? CVS is more of a east coast thing, right? Have not been able to find them anywhere, looked at several places. 7-11, Saveon, Circle K, and many others. [Confused]

ARI, I bought some on the Nicodrops website using Paypal...it was relatively painless. I live in LA too and I haven't seen them yet. However, I haven't looked too hard either:)

Repo - great letter but I am not sure how long it will take them to respond. I sent them a email over a week ago asking them a advertising question and still have not heard from them.

I emailed them about 3 weeks ago, but I have received no word as well. Good luck you guys. I dumped this off for a huge loss at .02. I'm happy I didn't hold longer. Anyways, good luck guys, if something new comes PR wise I might have to jump right back on. But this time I'll know when to take my profits. Seen it hit .034 and didn't sell, what an idiot I am.

Green Baron update for those who are interested:

Nicodrops stock broke below our profile price of .017 per share yesterday to close at .013 per share, just above our Stock to Watch price of .012. Concern over the short term trading of this volatile pink sheet stock prompted us to take up a lengthy conversation with Nicodrops CEO Christopher Calpito yesterday afternoon. The Green Baron Report was able to verify once again some key facts that may be reassuring to those that purchased Nicodrops stock, and for those who are contemplating an investment.

The Nicodrops lozenge has received Binding Tariff Information (BTI) from The European Community and a Drug Identification Number (DIN) from Health Canada. The BTI number is 1704905500 and the DIN is 02245097. The BTI which was filed by way of the Netherlands gives approval to Nicodrops from The European Community (EC) to distribute its proprietary products in the following 15 countries; UK, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Italy, Green, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.

The Green Baron Report learned that manufacturing agreements with facilities in the UK and the Netherlands are in place as previously announced, and there has been nice progress moving forward. Mr. Calpito also believes that Nicodrops is the only product to be approved by Health Canada that is drug free. He stated that Canada recognizes Nicodrops as a medicinal herbal product to quit smoking.

***Nicodrops can now be ordered from the following page of the company’s website at http://www.nicodrops.ca/html/buy_nicodrops.php for as little as $14.90 for a trial size.

Although The Green Baron Report remains very positive about the Nicodrops products and potential for strong sales, please understand that national distribution and huge sales do not occur overnight. It takes time to educate people through advertising and place the product where it can be purchased. Negotiations with key retailers and advertisers are ongoing. Although we anticipate more purchase orders with major retailers in the near term, we need to exhibit some patience while terms are negotiated and the Company’s business plans are implemented.

We are also trying to confirm the precise number of shares outstanding and in the float. Based on conversations with executives and consultants with Nicodrops, we agree that this company could fetch a price of $300 to 350 million once the products have been placed in the market and conservative sales projections are met. Even with 600 to 700 million shares outstanding, that would convert to about .50 per share. At the current price of just over .01 per share, we view this as an attractive speculation.

While that Green Baron report is indeed reassuring, what can be said about the validity of their statements? I mean a green baron report 3 weeks ago suggested NCDP to be trading at .30 cents in 2005, and now despite our massive setback, went so far as to suggest .50 cents in their latest "update". It also seems they are back tracking on what they had written in other reports as to the timeframe of when NCDP was supposedly going to do well. Lastly, how does Green Baron get a lengthy conversation with NCDP, but the common shareholder can't get a response after weeks of trying??? I'm sorry if i sound pessimistic, but this stock got pumped hard, and a lot of what i hear i take with grain of salt.
 
Posted by compound cash on :
 
bottom line is this, the green baron makes many many good picks. I think that one could make a living off of that website if they wanted too. They are a big name in the otcbb community. And honestly I trust them over any random posters. In with 4 grand at about .024, holding, waiting to buy more while it's cheap. I mean how hard is it to figure out. News is coming, look what happened last time news came. For anyone that doesn't want to hold this for long, buy now and wait for that news to come out, then sell it. Me, I plan to hold and play it for all of 2005
 
Posted by gainster on :
 
This may be hard to believe but the Green Baron just creates a buzz. Think about it. If the Green Baron didn't list NCDP as their pick, would most of us have heard of it. Probably not as much as we have. IMO The Green Baron just pumps whatever stock will pay them for their services. The one thing I know is that you can't make money if your product doesn't sell. And so far I haven't seen this stuff selling anywhere, and I have 3 CVS stores within a 6 mile radius of me. Also, the Green Baron said that they should make a big bang due to People's New Years Resolutions, but seeing as they haven't been selling this stuff, in too many stores, I'm pretty sure that the quitters have already found a different product of choice. Besides the packaging on this stuff is horrible. I wouldn't buy it based solely on the way they have chosen to market it. ON top of all of that, I have seen no type of advertisement of any sort. I have how ever been seeing a Nicorette Lozenge commercial quite frequently. Here is the deal. Wal-mart Target andany other big chain can carry this, but as long as people haven't heard of it, they won't go looking for it.

I'm not trying to bash, but I try to be realistic, I bought in at .026 and watched it go to .034, but I finally sold at .02 after realizing that it might never go back up.


This is IMO of course.

quick question to gainster, when is it better to buy a stock? Before it's products hit the shelf, advertisements start, major merchandisers announced, and before it's products spread throughout europe and canada. OR, after all of this. Remember buy low, sell higher than what you bought it for. Now is the time to buy nicodrops.

I totally understand buying a good product before it gets huge, but it's not that goods of a product IMO. If you have seen the packaging you would know.
 
Posted by compound cash on :
 
gainster, i agree the packaging look like something out of a harriet carter catalouge, ""things you never know existed" . Believe me i know, i already wrote to them and told them about the impression i got in cvs. I think the gold mine is in the european sales. Here's why- they will have the "real" nicodrops with the missing herb, the one known to cure nicotine addictions. Also. http://english.people.com.cn/200401/05/eng20040105_131828.shtml

I bought them purely to check them out before buying the stock. I finally got them in the mail yesterday and I have to agree with everyone else that the packaging is a bit shoddy. The top of the paper bag it comes in wasn't even sealed properly (like someone used a glue stick to try to seal it). 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.

I saw this on another board, and is the first positive news i've heard from this stock in a long time. Looks like they might be sitting on a gold mine, but as others have posted, don't know how to make it attractive to those trying to quit.


this is the only one i will make money with. not a doubt in my mind. i am in at .029 per share. i quit smoking new years eve and have been using the drops. i used to smoke 2 packs a day at 5.30 cents a pack. ( must say friday i thought about having one but didn't. lol)the way i look at it ncdp is paying me $10.60 a day. . do they work? i have smoked for the last 35 years (damn i am old) and yes they work better then anything i have tried including zyban, patches, hypnosis, acupuncture. i have tried them all. this is the first time i do not feel suicidel or told my wife to leave lol. serious i ussually get really mean and ugly when i try to quit. others will try this the word will get out and i think it will be a very succesful company

Well I almost jumped on @ .02 but did not as I had other irons in the fire. Glad I waited as it has dropped quite a bit. Really hoping for the .01 area to buy in. I don`t see a hurry as management is slow with the news and promotion and it just takes time to bring this kind of thing to market. Not to mention this is a very saturated market space. The market overall seems to be in a after New Year slide in any event and its taking everyone down so take heart its not all related to this one stock.

What is happening with NCDP?
It is at 0.0131

When I called their Investor Relations last Month, I was Informed that, a Press release will be soon out on their Marketing and advertising Plans.

We passed First Week of Jan and no news out yet.

Any update?
 
Posted by Repoman75 on :
 
No update. I sent my loooong e-mail to them. They better take the time to read it and respond intelligently! (Not like Mario from MLON!)

I have always said that this is a long term hold. My only 3 concerns were (feel free to check previous posts to verify).

1. Does the product work?
2. Will we see the advertisement blitz?
3. Are there really no side effects??

I'm beginning to feel more comfortable about questions 1 and 3. I think if the thing did not work at all, we would hear something on the boards, even from bashers. But so far, nothing but good reviews.

Question 2 is now the pressing issue. I hope Mr. Slimfast is coming up with some grand strategy(remember, he came aboard late in the game for this product - he might be totally revamping what the CEO had planned, including distribution plans. THAT would be a good thing - he's the expert, the CEO is just a scientist.).

Again, as I said at .027, who cares if it goes up or down a penny in the short term - I don't need my money right now. Mark this post, and come see me around Thanksgiving.

I live in Kissimmee, Florida and the CVS store manager at first told me that they will not be receiving Nicodrops. Well I asked her to see if she could get them for me. She said that would be difficult because she did not have a item code.

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
 
Posted by Repoman75 on :
 
Listen, this is a no brainer winner! Read my above posts. Somebody complained about the box and packaging of the lozenges. Well think about it. The CEO just basically invented this in his basement. He probably hired some low low budget firm to package the goods to get them to CVS. But now he just hired the Slimfast guy and hired Quigley - don't you think that after Quigley and Slimfast guy gets a hold of this packaging that it will change? I wouldn't be surprised if they purposely sent CVS only a limited quantity until they got their house in order with their new compatriots.

Your saying that you actually felt a noticeable relaxing effect from one lozenge? If that is true, I would think that they really have something, but I find it hard to believe as your mind can play so many tricks on you. I personally, have tried everything to relax me, Kava Kava, Valerian root, St. John Wort, you name it, and in well of excess of the recommended dosage and never felt any calming effects. Believe me, I need calming effects!! I am a nervous wreck and wish something non-addicting could help me.

I actually felt a calming, relaxed feeling.
Maybe it's the combination of the Ginseng, St. John's Wort, and Valerian. Try it for yourself to see what you think. They must have a new package look. I think it looks fine.

Does any one have the e-mail address for the company?? Maybe everyone here holding shares should send them an e-mail twice a day. Then maybe they will put out some kind of press release.

Ok, got a lot of news NCDP shareholders:

1. Got a response from my e-mail. The Cervelle Group answered, and gave some pretty solid responses (at least it assures me it is not a scam). Although the answers were not totally forthcoming, the one good part is the listing on the OTC.BB in 6 months. Long and strong at 300K shares! You can't take em unless you pry them from my cold, dead fingers.

Here is my original e-mail:

Dear Nicodrops,

I am writing this e-mail on behalf of myself, a shareholder in your fledgling company, and also on behalf of other shareholders, who together hold approximately 5 million shares of your compnay's stock. We are all supporters of your product, your management team, and your company, and have faith that in the future, Nicodrops will show a great rate of return to its current shareholders. Some of us have tested the product, and do agree that so far, it does actually seem to work as advertised! We have been here since the beginning, and are willing to continue to be shareholders through thick and thin

We would just like some further insight into your marketing / distribution strategy. It appears that Nicodrops has reached a "crossroads" of sort, a defining moment in the company's growth stage. We ask these questions not as those who wish to shout the information from the top of the mountain, but merely to reassure ourselves that Nicodrops is on the path to prosperity. As you already know, this week, in terms of share price, was not reassuring! I realize that you may not be able all of these questions, but any insights you can share would go a long way in keeping your loyal shareholders confident that their investment shows promise.

1. Distribution - In December, 2004, you had mentioned during your webcast that you were attempting to have 2 more distributors market Nicodrops. Can you give any update on this development? If you cannot release the names of the retailers, can you give some clue as to where they are located? Are they regional or national retailers? Will they be receiving Nicodrops on a trial basis only? How many units do you expect to ship initially? When can we expect these announcements?

2. CVS - In December, 2004, we all read the press release concerning Nicodrops using CVS as their first national retailer. However, to date, many of us have had trouble finding Nicodrops in many of the CVS's near our homes. Also, they are not listed on the CVS web site. After contacting CVS, we have been told by CVS representatives that CVS will only be stocking Nicodrops on a trial basis; restocking of Nicodrops will depend upon the demand of the product by CVS customers. They also mentioned that it "should" appear on their website soon, however, no date was given. Can you give any futher details on the CVS deal? Will you be stocking a majority of CVS stores with Nicodrops, or only select markets? Is it true that CVS is only stocking Nicodrops on a trial basis, and if so, can you give any assurances at this time that CVS will continue to stock Nicodrops in the future? Also, have the sugar-free lozenges been shipped to CVS retailers? We have only been able to find the sugar Nicodrops in stores near us.

3. Advertising - First, let me say that it extremely satisfying to see that you have brought Joel Appel on board to lead your Marketing team. Many of us have done our homework on Joel, and believe his past accomplishments speak for great volumes in terms of his marketing skills. In your December, 2004, press release, you had mentioned that you had hoped to capitalize on many consumers New Year's resolutions to quit smoking. Considering that the product is beginning to appear in CVS stores and is available online via your website, are you planning some massive advertising campaign to still capitalize on the New Year's consumer? In what form can we expect this advertising - television, print, radio, etc.? And when can we expect to see some type of aggressive advertising? I believe Nicorette has just invented their own lozenge, and I myself have seen their commercial at least 3 times since the New Year.

4. Financial - I believe during your webcast you stated that your company possessed very little overhead, and that you are expecting a 60% return on revenues. What is the timeframe for this expecation? When will your company share any sales figures for the product? Do you have any expectations in terms of earnings?

5. Stock price - You had also mentioned during your webcast of 12/04, that you had hoped to have your company listed on the OTCBB. What is the progress toward this goal? I know bringing aboard The Chervelle Group was a step in the right direction. However, when can we expect such a listing to occur? Are you planning any splits (reverse or forward)? Are you planning on buying back, or diluting shares in the future?

6. Product - As I stated above, many of us have purchased and used your product. We have an observation that we would like to share about the packaging of the product. On the packaging, in our opinion, there is not a bold enough statement that Nicodrops contains NO nicotine! If you read the directions, it becomes apparent. However, this, besides your cost, is perhaps your biggest selling point. We are suggesting perhaps you can redesign the packaging in the near future to emphasize this trait.

7. International - In past press releases, you mentioned that your company had received EU and Canadian approval to market Nicodrops. Is there any update as to where the company stands in terms of making its product available to other countries? Have foreign retailers been brought on board, or will they be brought on board soon? Also, you had mentioned that you were looking to enter the Asian market in the near future. Any update on entry to this market?

8. Testimonials - As I said, many of us have tested the product, and so far, feel it does work to some extent in limiting the craving for nicotine. However, besides testimonials on your website, there has not been any independent 3rd party confirmation that Nicodrops is effective. I know you did some clinical studies in South Korea, and that documentation from those studies do exist. Do you plan to release any type of information to the public concerning these studies? Also, do you plan on utilizing an independent 3rd party to verify if Nicodrops is effective?

I appreciate your time in possibly answering some of the above inquiries. Again, I am just one of many shareholders who feel you have a tremendous product on your hand, and would just like to feel confident that you and your company are taking the necessary steps in bringing the product to market.

Again, thanks for your time.

NCDP shareholder


Here is their response:

Here is some information for you per your request.

Distribution. The company is still in negotiations with a number of retail chains some similar to CVS. Nothing is imminent as of today though. The product has begun to hit the shelves at CVS and yes it is considered a product on a trial basis there – almost every new product is. When it is available, it can be found at the cash register next to the cigarettes.

CVS. I cannot give you any assurances that the product will be successful or that it will generate enough interest from CVS to continue to carry it. That remains to be seen but please give it time. The purchase orders were for product to be sent out to all of the CVS distribution centers and then the distribution centers would ship it to stores. At this time, I do not know how many stores are carrying the product but Nicodrops anticipates it will generate revenue from this agreement in the first quarter 2005.

Advertising. Nothing has been announced yet on an advertising or marketing campaign on behalf of the company but Joel is developing a marketing strategy and continues to utilize his expertise and extensive contacts to assist the company in gaining more exposure. I have not seen any information yet concerning an ad campaign or marketing program but I assure you as soon as one is finalized we will be sure to insist that the company issues it as an update to shareholders.

Financial. As you know the company is non-reporting at this time. No financials are expected to be released in the near future but I can tell you a few things. The company anticipates it will become fully reporting within the next 6 months and file for OTC BB status. Also, the company is estimating that it will generate approximately $23 million in its first full year of marketing the product to retailers, consumers etc. – that clock has begun ticking with the product entering CVS stores. I cannot comment on earnings at this date.

Stock Price. See above. Also, there are no plans of any splits or buy backs to my knowledge.

Product. Thank you for the suggestion I will be sure to pass it along to Chris Calpito. Keep in mind, the product was recently redesigned. It has been met with enthusiasm from buyers and consumers to date but I’m sure it can always be improved upon.

International. Good question. The company is definitely looking to target Europe and Asia in 2005 to go along with the U.S. Nothing is signed as of yet but distributors have been approached in Asia and negotiations are taking place. Same for Europe. There is a definite need for Nicodrops in these countries. Also, so you know, people can order the product on www.nicodrops.com – that includes people from overseas as well.

Testimonials. The company is gathering a number of testimonials right now which could be potentially used for marketing purposes. Another great question and something the company is very keen to at this time.

Thank you very much for your interest in Nicodrops. I have attached a two page profile for your review on the company. This is something we send to retail brokers and prospective investors alike. I think it may give you more information in your quest to understand the company better. I know since it is non-reporting you have a bit of a challenge on your hands but it certainly looks like you have done a tremendous job so far. I wish more investors were as thorough as you.

If you have any other questions or concerns please let me know.


Sincerely,

Dave Donlin
Cervelle Group


2. The investor information packet they sent looks pretty cool. I can't post it because it is in Adobe Acrobat, but I can try and post the text parts:

Business Scope:
Nicodrops Inc., headquartered in La Mesa, CA, has
developed the world’s first drug-free, non-nicotine product which allows smokers to give up their habit faster and at a lower cost than their major competitors without the adverse side effects of nicotine. Nicodrops is an all-natural herb lozenge which helps to calm the nervous anxiety that is brought on by nicotine addiction. The company’s lozenge products are based on patent protected proprietary technology which offers a safer alternative to all other nicotine based products in the marketplace today. Nicodrops is currently offered in two lozenge products for sale to the retail market, one being its regular lozenge, the other being a sugar free lozenge. Both lozenge products are individually wrapped and sold in packages of 20 lozenges per package. The Company also sells both individually wrapped lozenges in bulk to the international markets.
Nicodrops Herbal Formula consists of Ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Valerian, and Lobelia. Canadian
research has indicated that ginseng helps ease the withdrawal symptoms of recovering addicts. Wort is often used to improve the irritable disposition of individuals trying to break their addiction from tobacco use. Valerian is beneficial to those experiencing withdrawals from addictive substances. Lobelia is believed to mask (mimic smoking) the withdrawal symptoms of nicotine addiction without itself being addictive.Nicodrops requires a much shorter time to show tangible results (less than 4 weeks compared to thedrug 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.

Key Investor Points:

Nicodrops has EC (European
· Community) approval to distribute its
products in 15 European countries.
· Nicodrops do not require FDA approval
since the lozenge product are in the
“Dietary Supplements” category for purposes of the U.S. market.
· NCDP anticipates a profit in its first full
year of operations.
· Nicodrops anticipates first year revenues
of $23 million with after tax earnings
projected to be approximately $8 million
in the first year.
· Currently, there is only one other drugfree
product of its kind in this market which is a complicated program consisting of a multitude of products.

Management Bio's:
Dr. Srini Chary – Chairman and Director
Dr. Chary is a prominent medical doctor well known throughout Canada. In addition to his medical practice, Dr. Chary has extensive business interests throughout North America as well as other parts of the world. He will be primarily responsible for giving overall

responsibility he will also oversee all corporate
governance matters and assist the Company in
promoting its products in international markets. Dr. Chary’s other activities include overseeing the activities of companies involved in various healthcare and other businesses. He has extensive background in international marketing and finance and has been the President and CEO of a number of NASDAQ listed companies.
Christopher L. Calpito – President, CEO and

Key Industry Points:
· The world market for smoking cessation
products is $2.5 Billion annually.
· The Center for Disease Control estimates
70 million Americans are smokers (24% of
the U.S. population).
· An estimated 250 million people worldwide are smokers.

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

Repo... thanks for the information.
I just thought of a question. I bought 3 boxes the other day at CVS. The store manager mentioned that she did not know how ring up the purchase and what code to use in the system. I hope they do not get rung up under some other code and it seems as though they are not selling. Just a thought.
 
Posted by Repoman75 on :
 
Well, honestly? I think this CVS think is just a flash in the pan. If you look at the dates of when Quigley and Mr. Slimfast came on board, you can see that I think this CVS deal was not thought through.

Here's my take on it:
It's sometime in November. Quigley and Mr. Slimfast have not come on board yet. Chris has done developing his product, so now he tries (on his own) to begin marketing it. Now, Chris I'm sure is a good guy, but marketing and distribution is not his thing. So, he sets up negotiations with CVS to have Nicodrops test-trialed there (I know CVS does this throughout the year with other "test" products). Chris probably also comes up with the lame packaging (remember, he is not in Marketing!).
Then, right before the CVS deal is announced, he signs Quigley and Mr. Slimfast. Now Mr. Slimfast has just come on board when the CVS deal is announced, so he really has no say yet in the deal. But from what I'm gathering, I think Mr. Slimfast is going to not worry about the CVS deal that much - in fact, in the future, you'll see deals with retailers where Nicodrops will not be distributed on a test basis only. Again, Mr. Slimfast is the key to this operation at this point. I would expect sometime in the Spring we see the Marketing blitz, sometime in the summer we see OTC.BB listing, and then sometime next winter we get our first real sales/revenue figures.

Let Mr. Slimfast do his work... CVS is just a drop in the bucket, you'll see.

Up 15% today. Definitely have found resistance, and I believe accumulation is happening as we speak.

Mr. Slimfast will save us all once the weather warms.
 
Posted by JB99 on :
 
Make of this what you will. I am not a smoker but tried the product. Since purchasing Nicodrops I have been taking a lozenge as soon as I get home from work. My normal routine when I walk in the door is grab some junk food, and I consume these empty calories on a regular basis. It has been two days and the after work snacking frenzy has stopped. I will continue to do this for a week and see what happens. Could you imagine if Nicodrops helps to prevent over eating when you are trying to quit.
I know the mind is a powerful thing, but I would love to shed some extra weight any way I can.

This is a general question. I bought in at .0195 and ever since it dropped a little. I would like to know how to react to a upper momentum in this stock. I am new to this and am wondering, lets say it goes up to .03 would you sell to make some money and hope that it drops to buy back more or just let it ride. I don't need the money that I invested right now. Any help would be appreiciated.
 
Posted by Repoman75 on :
 
I'm riding it out until at least .20 . You'll see it that price once revenues are released, which will be after OTC listing, which is sometime this summer probably.
 
Posted by Repoman75 on :
 
This is from another board... take it as you will:

This just in..READ...

I started a new thread to post this important update because I understand that there are many of you that are interested in Nicodrops, but aren't currently reading the big thread that we have going. I did not want y'all to miss this news.

Okay -- sorry HSMer's, for the delay in getting this exciting news to y'all, but I was at work when I received the call from Mr. Calpito and didn't have time to write thoroughly about our conversation. Of course, then I had to rush to attend my son's baseball tryouts, come home and eat, assess the homework situation, high five the wife etc. etc.

So for those of you wondering about the state of ncdp, here is what I gleaned from the very nice chat I had with the CEO and Director of Nicodrops.

First, he dispelled any truth to the rumor that CVS and Nicodrops have discontinued their relationship. That is simply not true. Nicodrops is currently and actively continuing to build their relationship with CVS and work closely with the many distribution centers across the country to get their product in all of the CVS stores. Remember, to do national roll out of this magnitude takes a tremendous effort and considerable time. Plus, there was a problem with the UPC bar codes on the packaging that crippled their initial roll out effort.

I asked him about any other plans for retail locations, and he said that he has been contacted by many drug stores interested in carrying the Nicodrops product. They are also negotiating with various chains to carry the lozenges. Obviously, in addition to fielding requests to carry the product, they are aggressively pursuing outlets for the product.

This is where the conversation turned to Joel Appel, Director of Sales and Marketing for ncdp. If you’re not familiar with Joel, read about him at this link. http://biz.yahoo.com/pz/041209/69157.html He is a true heavyweight when it comes to being able to get products on shelves and to market them on a national scale. Someone with Mr. Appel's credentials is not going to take on the task of promoting a product that he does not believe in. Mr. Calpito reminded me of this important point.

Mr. Calpito also wanted me to know that he is surrounding himself with the most competent people in their respective fields to assist him and to represent Nicodrops. We discussed at length one of my philosophies (don't remember where I heard it or read it) and one that he adheres to as well -- Great Leaders Surround Themselves With Great Men. I believe Mr. Calpito is doing just that.

He also mentioned Nicodrops' strong partner in investor/public relations and financial communications, The Cervelle Group. He believes that this group will truly complement the other parts of his management team. He told me to feel free to contact them at anytime with questions about his company.

Don't forget the other super heavyweight they have when it comes to manufacturing the lozenges -- they contracted Quigley Manufacturing Inc. to handle this task. (I posted the e-mail of confirmation that I received from Quigley in the big ncdp thread.)

I asked him when we were going to get some news from the company. He said within the next several weeks, and quite possibly sooner, we will get another PR with good news. Of course, as y'all well know, he could not divulge what the news will be.

Our conversation primarily involved the company and his philosophies. It was also a "getting to know each other" exchange. He gave me his number and e-mail, so that I could contact him with any further questions or issues that I felt I wanted to discuss. He was up front and honest, and he made sure I knew he was accessible in the future.

Don't forget that this company has accomplished a great deal in a very short period of time. The hiring of Mr. Appel, the Quigley manufacturing contract, the CVS distribution deal, the Cervelle Group association, the Canadian FDA approval, and the EC (European Community) approval to distribute Nicodrops in 15 European countries. Whew!

One of the things that Mr. Calpito asked is that we remain patient and recognize that their efforts are continuous and their goals are lofty.

I really enjoyed visiting with him, and I feel reassured and as confident as ever that ncdp is heading in the right direction for the consumers and its investors as well.

Since we did not discuss pertinent details concerning the company's stock and stock-related issues, if there are questions that HSMer's have, PM me with your questions, or post them in this thread and I'll compile and relay them to Mr. Calpito for all of us.

Thanks for reading. I hope this was helpful. I'm not pumping, but I am pumped!

That info page read a little too much like the pr`s that Ken Schilling of IBZT used to release. That led nowhere but hopefull this is different. One thing I have gathered from the released info is that this will take some time to materilize. Within this year I am sure we will see a good spike in price that is way higher than we have now and I also believe a big buying opp. will also come with the price way below the current pps. It just take time for a whole operation to get going with distrubution and what not and it takes private placement or dillution to finance it. That in itself will keep downward pressure on this stock. I have not bought in yet but monitor it daily waitng for a buy in I feel confident at.

wow down to .01 now, glad i sold at .015 yesterday.

It will rebound. Long term winner here. 10x bagger at least.

Mark my post.
 
Posted by roadrunnerv8383 on :
 
if it cant take off at the beginning of the year with millions of people making new years resolutions. its downhill from here. it you are willing to wait till this december or next jan, it may payoff. but holding a penny stock through the summer is very risky. but good luck with it.
 
Posted by Repoman75 on :
 
Summer is when they will hit the OTC.BB . By Spring, you'll start seeing ads. They should have never sold their story to GreenBaron... all it did was pump it for no reason.

Now it will slow climb. You'll see.
 
Posted by ed19363 on :
 
Dont think it will take that long, if the company knows what it's doing. The market is there all year long, and if we show some profit when the financials come out, that SHOULD cause a pop in the pps. This IMO, take it for what its worth.
 
Posted by roadrunnerv8383 on :
 
i took a loss on this one. i got in at .019 and sold at .015 but, if it gets below .01 which most likely it will, i will probably get back in. what did you get in at? this thing was up to .034
 
Posted by Repoman75 on :
 
I'm in at .027 for 10K. I'm down over $5K right now. But I have had numerous discussions with the CEO and Cervelle (see my previous posts). I understand what is happening... the CVS thing was done too quickly. The CEO jumped the gun. Now they are reformulating their marketing/distribution strategy. Also, the OTC listing in the summer. And the potential revenue stream with NO debt is incredible.


By the way, look at Raging Bull's board on this.. some guy is flipping out.hahaha

I'm not sweating. I don't need the money and when this thing starts to go, it will be a runaway locomotive.
 
Posted by slyfox on :
 
I got in at .031 .020 and .013 If I noticed it go this low today I would have got more. I figure it should be over .050 in a month or two. The next PR will probably make this skyrocket and it could be any day now. I am glad to see they are taking marketing in the right direction.
 
Posted by Stealx on :
 
Just wwanted to let everybody know that earlier in the week I checked a few local CVS's and I couldnt find Nicodrops. Tonight I was in there for some other things and believe it or not right behind the cashiers head was Nicodrops. Positioned right next to all the nicorette stuff. Great positioning, made my night. So its in the Chicagoland now [Smile]
 
Posted by Repoman75 on :
 
I bought some as well in Central, New Jersey. Must be the old packaging - my wife said it look like a roach killer product. Haha. True, but the new packaging hopefully will be better once Mr. Slimfast gets his hands on it. Didn't really do much for me, but I'm not a smoker!

Gonna send it down to my brother in law in FL... he dips and he wants to see if can quit with it.

Have no fear, this stock will rise. I wish I had more money to accumulate.

stopped in to CVS here in Mn.(minneapolis). didnt have the drops but CVS is just starting out here. put in a good word. will continue to do so. people love to suck on things so this should be huge.
 
Posted by padredecinco1 on :
 
If you just give this a little time I feel certain you will be pleased with the results. As was brought out earlier, Nicodrops Inc. has taken steps that show their eagerness to really make Nicodrops more of a household name than Nicorette. Yes the packaging is a little drab but just give them a bit more time. I know that everytime I drove past a slimfast plant in Covington, TN the first thing that popped in mind was the attractive packaging and when you pull people on board from a company like that you know that that is on the minds of those of whom it needs to be. I personally don't own much of the stock, 10,000 shares, BUT I absolutely see the need to get more while it is still below .02. Get what you can and expect the best because that what you can expect.

Is there any way to insert a picture in the message field. I wanted to show you the packaging that was down here in florida? I heard a couple people say that the package is pretty poor.
 
Posted by Repoman75 on :
 
JB99 - it a blue box? It kinda looks like a roach killer product. They said they recently changed it. I ordered some online yesterday so we'll see if it is different than the ones I bought in CVS.

I think the storm is brewing on this stock... we have definitely found resistance, and I think people are beginning to take notice that they may be a major player with huge PRs in the near future.

Has anyone heard of Nicodrops NOT working for someone who wishes to quit smoking? And I don't mean lame basher posts on other boards either...
 
Posted by salemm on :
 
Currently sucking on a nicodrop... taste bad. Sold in a blue paper flat bag, 20 lozenges, 4 grams each... individually wrapped in blue twister film-type material. Directions on back. Yes, it works.... for me. Personally, it allays my need for smoking... for about 30-45 minutes.
New Minty Taste!! Yeah right!! LOL! However, I think the yucky taste is a plus... a constant reminder that this is NOT candy... but a quit-smoking device.
Good luck all smokers currently trying to quit!!

Nice one compound. Damn I wish I had another 10K to drop into this baby. I can't wait until the PR's start rolling. Here is my prediction:

1st Quarter:

-1 or 2 PR's concerning marketing ventures

2nd Quarter:
-1 PR concerning an OTC filing

4th quarter:
-1 PR - Sales revenues...

I actually like the way they taste and can honestly say that I have not had a dip (snuff) in 7 + days. The drops help take the edge of withdrawal off. I would prefer they be sugar free, though can live with it considering I'm off the tobacco. Wish I had some free cash to accumulate some their stock. Regardless, I'm tobacco free.
 
Posted by Repoman75 on :
 
The sugar free product exists, but for some reason, it's not available on their web site or CVS yet. I'll have to send them an e-mail asking about that.

Someone mentioned that not everything Joel Appel touches turns to gold. They brought up APPI.OB which sells all natural products for cholesterol, etc. What are the chances that these two companies merge at some point. It would make perfect sense. The products it markets are Lo-Chol, ACACaplets and Sinusol. Wouldn't it be possible to throw in a all natural smoking product as well?

Green Baron update expected today via e-mail.
 
Posted by Repoman75 on :
 
Here's the update from Green Baron: I agree, load the company with professionals, and give them stock options! Make them earn their pay!


On December 9, 2004, The Green Baron Report upgraded its coverage of Nicodrops from a Stock to Watch to a fully profiled stock for our storied home page. NCDP had all the makings of an under followed company and unnoticed stock with a potential blockbuster new product. The hire of a seasoned new director of sales gave us reason to raise our attention level, and within a week later NCDP hit a high that was 100% above our profile price.

An uneventful holiday season and the lack of more new product distribution contracts caused NCDP to give back much of the gains it saw in December. However, trading the past two days seems to dictate a new level of hope and interest to NCDP as the stock has rallied back to close at .018 per share, just above our original home page profile price.

The Green Baron Report has learned from sources that Nicodrops is planning to attack many new channels of distribution, and that production is increasing. It appears the Company was not originally prepared to meet the high demand from other interested stores following its announcement last month with CVS Pharmacies going into the New Year. However, we understand the Company is now ready to handle new order flow.

Although we were hopeful that Nicodrops could deliver to all interested large chain stores, we understand the challenges that come when a small company launches a fantastic new product into the marketplace. The Green Baron Report remains very optimistic in the future of Nicodrops smoking cessation lozenges, and the success of the company will be measured by how well they manage delivery of these high margin products. We have suggested that Nicodrops, Inc. needs a few more experienced professionals to join its management team so that deliveries of its products never come into question. We have been told this will not be a problem in the future.

nice...any thoughts to when it will break .03 ?
 
Posted by Repoman75 on :
 
Yeah, late Spring, early Summer to be conservative.

The next set of PR's will deal with new retailers, the first of which will probably be before January. These will move the stock somewhat, into the .02's to stay.

Then, if we believe what they are saying, summertime we get on the OTC - blammo, this stock is .05 I'm thinking.

THEN, come late fall, next winter, we get year sales revenue... BANG - .2 - .5.

This WILL be the pick of 2005. You can bank on it.

Not sure on LVSG to be honest. I think it was a momo play... if you're in with somewhat of a profit, you may want to consider getting out.
 
Posted by JB99 on :
 
Is there anyway to find out how many units they sold last year? If Nicodrops start showing up in stores around the world it's got to increase sales tremendously.
 
Posted by Repoman75 on :
 
That's the whole thing... no figures as of yet. When they do come out, BLAM.

I think the stock is a new IPO so I doubt you'll find anything for previous years.

Posted by gainster on :
 
This is just my opinion guys but I wouldn't hold onto this one. I am not just trying to basha stock I know nothing about, as I used to own about $5500 worth. I bought in at .024 and watched it hit .034 and right back down to .019. I then had to sell at a loss. 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.

I used to own some NCDP too. Bought at .024 and watched it go up to .034 and right back down. Finally sold for a loss at .019. I'm going to bash. You guys don't have to join in but I'm a little annoyed by the company anyway.

They used to come out withy PR every week or so and then nothing for over a month now.

Gainster,
I was annoyed when I jumped in as well and there was no news (and I only have about 1/5 of what you put in). The drops were very difficult to find in the stores. This new company is trying to accomplish world wide sales and distribution. Not everyone believes slim-fast works either, but it sits on the shelves of alot of stores. Man, I hope this takes off someday!!!
 
Posted by gainster on :
 
I hope it does for your sake as well. But personally I won't be buying anymore shares.
 
Posted by gainster on :
 
Nice try Repo. I'm sure that was real hard to produce.


Now you're even doctoring posts. Your a loser.
 
Posted by stocktracker on :
 
These things take time. Long term investment in my opinion. Production takes time. Distribution takes time. Advertising takes time. My feeling is that once they distribute to a large number of retailers, then we will see some advertising. There would be no point in advertising the product, if the product has not been distributed. People would see the adverisment and go to the store only to find the store does not carry the product. Of course I could be wrong. Personally, I can ride out the dips in belief that this stock's pps is going to exceed what I bought in at.

Even if I don't make money off this stock, at least I'm no longer dipping.

I was talking to a friend the other day that I have not talked to for a while. I told him that I have been trading stocks and mentioned NCDP. He laughed and told me that his cousin and his wife both took the Nicodrops and got vionlently ill. He said they were seeking legal advice. I got rid of all of mine last week.

I have been taking 3 a day (Don't even smoke) and I feel fine! I take one when I leave for work, one when I get home from work (cuts out the munchies - lost five pounds so far) an one before bed. I think I am addicted. Sales should be great!

this used to be a good thread, but i see its going down hill too. seems everything you touch repo turns to uphevil and crisis. man just stick to the facts with ncdp and quite pissn on trees. to all others actually interested in this stock, my cvs told me they should be getting some in soon, i cant wait, like to see what it looks like.

repo and gainster, settle your differences or shut up, talk about money and stocks. For this thread talk about NCDP. The post about reducing cravings for food is very exciting. But you have to take it for what it is, a lone post on a message board. Still, it supports my theory that nicodrops helps to reduce oral fixations.
 
Posted by Repoman75 on :
 
Hey, compound, you know I'm the biggest fan of NCDP. I've done the most DD on it than anyone on Allstocks. I've bought the product, tried the product, and believe in the product.

.2 - .5 by end of 2005.

cash you are as bad as everyone else. I seen a page or two about you talking ch$t a week ago. But are you somehow exempt?
 
Posted by compound cash on :
 
yeah man, if you stick to the DD people will like you. Forget gainster, listen to the many posters, most mean well. Im in from .011 all the way to .029, this thing was making me nervous for a while, but it looks like it's recovering. News has gotta be coming this quarter, It's gotta be soon.
 
Posted by Repoman75 on :
 
Oh absolutely. Like I said before, wish I had the cash to buy in at .011. I would have been at breakeven now. But I have no worries... did you see that post about the 2 million units sold so far?? This thing is going to be a monster. Just have to get an answer on the O/S - not sure if it's 400 mil or 850 mil
 
Posted by bmarley5780 on :
 
hmm you think that the company can verify them #'s of units?
 
Posted by compound cash on :
 
No that is insider information. If they told you, then you would be able to get a good idea about how much they're worth. We're not supposed to know that. Do DD and turn it into an educated guess. Maybe they'll mention it in future reports.

Hey you've actually bought it??? I can't find it here in Colorado...where did you get it???

Central NJ at a CVS, right behind the counter.

going back in my reading...
geez! 2 million units and I can't find any...have been looking though...when daradog first started posting on it.
Where did you find it Repo...do you have to send away for it?
 
Posted by Nemesis on :
 
Repo, you have actually seen this Product in stores in the US...

This is a quote from Nicodrops Inc. Press release on 12-09-04 "Recently, Nicodrops announced it has formally received approval from the Canadian equivalent of the US FDA(1) the European Community (EC) to allow the company to distribute its proprietary products in the following 16 countries; Canada, UK, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Italy, Greece, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, and the Netherlands."

Is it just me or is the US not listed on there????
 
Posted by Lindy on :
 
Repo...I have been trying like heck to get a hold of this stuff. Daradog says it is really good!
Could I have the number of the store where you got this??
What's a CVS?
I wonder if they would ship me some.

Thanks!
 
Posted by Lindy on :
 
If you don't have the number that's cool, what city in NJ is this CVS in, and are there more then one CVS?? A national chain?

We don't have them here in Colorado.

you never heard of CVS??
I thought they were nationwide? In NY, NJ there's one on every corner.

go here and go to store locator. look up new jersey and see how many results you get. LOL.
 
Posted by JB99 on :
 
CVS had over 4100 stores nationwide, and down here in florida they purchased the Eckerd drug store chain. I saw a commercial or a ad that said they have over 5000 stores now. The store manager found 3 boxes of Nicodrops at the bottom of the valentine's day inventory box. I took all 3 boxes, now I need more. I have been taken 3 drops a day, I have no side effects what's so ever. I do not smoke. It taste like a cup of green tea with honey. It has a calming effect. This is my honest opinion. I am new to trading and not very good at it, but I like Nicodrops.

you can also order from their website.. Use GOOG to find it

Repo, Green Baron says 450 million shares outstanding and only 32 million in the float.

Nicodrops anticipates first full year revenues of $23 million. 2 million times $10.00 a unit = $20,000,000.00. That site could be correct about 2 million sold.

that would be two million trial packages... the full package is about $50

Word is getting out!!! I have been looking around at some stop smoking message boards. Here's one post:

As you all know, all the quit smoking aides contain nicotine. These products can be hazardous if children or pets get into!

Well, I've recently been informed of a drugfree way to quit (and it isn't hypnosis, cold turkey, or acupuncture) by actually using an herbal based program. The product is called NICODROPS and it has no NICOTINE! It took care of my cravings as they arose and I can attribute my success so far to this program. Please do yourself a favor, give it a try. No more worrying about kids, pets, and the such getting into those nasty patches and that disgusting gum. Oh, and save yourself money! They are way cheaper than all the competition!

If you watched the stock today, you would have seen the MM's dipping the price all day to pick up shares... PR is coming shortly
 
Posted by JB99 on :
 
I am just a beginner at trading. I bought in at .0195 I actually put in a sell today at .02 in hopes that it sold and usually it will drop back down to pick up more shares, but I cancelled it.
I noticed it has been around .02 and then drops a few points. Any suggestions, maybe just hold and hope for some news?
 
Posted by JB99 on :
 
Namoper150 - can you explain how you know it is the MM dipping the price to pick up shares. This is not a joke, totally confused.
 
Posted by blueranger on :
 
mm's
are the guys your buying the stock from.
they feed it to you to raise the price and
they also want volume. They profit this way.
They also profit on the volume from the spread.
Then they will do everything to stop the gain
and bring the price down to replinish there supply. so you will see a stock rise in the
morning and then them mm's will buy on the evening
lows. mm's have certian tricks. you can
see them buy 100 or sell 100 or 500 shares. at
the next level. They will do that a couple of
times to raise or lower price. You can also
look at the level II trades and see the mm's name
beside the trade. you become intimate with a
stock and you can tell what the mm's are doing.
I am real intimate with cnese.

jb99
.0195 to .02 is to low of a spread
your not making any money there.
also there are resistance points and
usually its difficult to cross over to the
next penny. once it crosses .02 there
is open territory for a run up. then .03
will be difficult. the biggest mistake I made
in penny land was thinking buy today sell tomorrow
sometimes you got to hold for 2 or 3 months.
the mm's love people who get in at .0195
they pull the stock down to .014 to get them to
cut and run. The guy who makes the money is
the guy who hold while the shaking is going on
before the move to the next level.
 
Posted by JB99 on :
 
Thanks Folks...
Your help is greatly appreciated!
 
Posted by blueranger on :
 
i own ncdp myself so i just went and
checked it. they way to play this is
hold your .0195 and on tomorrows low
of .013 or .014 buy 500 dollars more.
I don't know your financial situation
but buy on the daily low for the next
week or so or perhaps next month or
so. then some news will come out and
this thing will pop and you will make a
tidy bundle.
 
Posted by Namoper150 on :
 
I think it may hit .5 by year end, possibly $1
 
Posted by JB99 on :
 
I have $500 in LVSG that I can use, but others are saying this will fly soon. My first and worst trade was SIRI at the high $8 still holding that to keep from losing a hugh loss. I can here you laughing but like I said I am new.. Live and learn.
 
Posted by Namoper150 on :
 
Siri will be a $20 stock in 2 years... hold
 
Posted by Marty on :
 
Namoper150 has it correct for SIRI long term .....IMHO....you can even daytrade SIRI if you play it right...it's pretty predictable...anyway, NCDP looks like a .05 to me mid term....with sales reports of course [Wink] GLTA
 
Posted by blueranger on :
 
we all get stuck... but your
not stuck siri is a good stock and
will be great in the long haul.
the greatest trick is not selling its
difficult. just hang in there
with your ncdp. and in feb take what
ever disposable income you have and
buy on the next low. do that for the
next 2 or 3 months and then there will
be a great news release and it will spike.

Here's some updates. I e-mailed David Donlin at Cervelle. My e-mail and then his answers:


Hey Dave,

Just asking for some more information.

1. Can you tell me how many authorized shares there are and what is the current float? Also, is there any information as to the & breakdown of what insiders hold, institutions, retailers, etc.?

2. Are any of the clinical studies on the effectiveness of Nicodrops available to peruse? If not, is there any proof (besides testimonials) as of today that the product is effective?

3. Chris had mentioned in earlier press releases that a sugar free lozenge was available, however, none of us have seen the product in CVS or offered at nicodrops.com . Is the sugar free lozenge available, or merely something to be released in the near future?

4. Do you know if the auditing of the firm's financials have begun to prepare for OTCBB listing?

Thanks again, and look forward to the next big press release!


Regarding your most recent inquiry here is what I know……

I’m not sure about the authorized nor the outstanding or float. I’m guessing the authorized is somewhere upwards toward a billion but let me say this is not confirmed…I think there is a filing that can be checked in this matter. We are still trying to get a confirmation from the company on out and float. I think the out is atleast 400 million and float is atleast 100 million but please keep in mind these numbers are not definitive.

I don’t believe there any clinical studies that would be viewed as legitimate due to their nature and scope. I do know the company has been receiving a number of testimonials on the effectiveness of the product.

I will check with Chris on the sugar free lozenge…I think CVS only wanted the regular product since it is only being offered on a trial basis at this time.

The auditing of NCDPs financials have not begun yet. This process is costly and I would imagine that the company would be more inclined to generate more sales at this time giving them the flexibility they need to take the company to the next level – fully reporting and OTC BB listing.

Also, after meeting with Chris two weeks ago in California I can tell you that they are continuing to execute their business plan which includes other distribution channels and marketing prospects in Europe as well as Asia before the year is over.

Sincerely,

Dave Donlin

It is concerning that no news or advertising is being released (unless of course I'm just missing it).
 
Posted by ed19363 on :
 
Gotta relax guys and gals....it will take a minimum of 6 months for anything to really happen, IMO. Takes a lot of sales work, manufacturing, and time to make a major company.
 
Posted by Namoper150 on :
 
Don't be worried about lack of PR's... a lot of PR's usually equals fluff PR's. Read the correspondence above. They are doing their work. Let Joel Appel work... and good things will happen.

All we have to be concerned with right now is to make sure that the product works. Period. And according to all testimonials I've read, it does.
 
Posted by Namoper150 on :
 
Update... not a good one, but not unexpected. Makes sense because the Asians are big on sugar free.

Here is a follow up on the question regarding the sugar-free lozenge from Chris Calpito at NCDP…hope it helps :


Dave,

No. We only did the sugar FREE for Korea.

The sugar-free will be marketed once we have a foot
hold in the USA market place.

Namoper:

I disagree with the notion that Nicodrops will gain a foothold in the US anytime this year with the actions or lack there of-Chris and Joel are taking.
Advertising should have started alongside of distribution thru CVS such as "Nicodrops coming to a store near you" etc.etc.-I am holding but getting disgruntled and not pumping this stock anymore. If Chris and Joel think they can take on Glaxo and other big muscle pharmas-they are sadly diluted.What happended to Joel's skill and smarts in PR and advertising? Give him time right-he already screwed the pooch man-distribution without advertising is a death knoll.
 
Posted by Namoper150 on :
 
Well if you disagree, then feel free to disagree. I agree - ideally, advertising, distribution, and manufacturing should have all been together. My personal opinion - Chris is not the expert in Marketing. And he jumped the gun on the CVS deal. That's why now, we haven't heard boo. Joel is probably making sure that Quigley starts manufacturing enough for distribution to the 3 or 4 more stores that Joel is hoping to sign. And he won't start distributing again until he marketing campaign is ready. So yes, it could be months before we see a solid PR. But I have faith.

And besides, if Glaxo is threatened, they could buy out NCDP for negligible amounts of money (what's the market cap - $6 mil?), but would be a nice return for us shareholders.
 
Posted by HOOKEM HORNS on :
 
Namoper:
IMO Glaxo is not threatened at all. The pharmacist at CVS said they genrally recommend the Nicoderm patch to people trying to quit. He hadn't even heard of Nicodrops.
That is my point, Joel moving too slow with advertising-why? because they have no money.
Maybe next year. This is a very long term hold IMO.

HUGE ASS NEWS

GSK Consumer Healthcare Launches Suit to Stop Misleading Marketing of Unproven Herbal Smoking Cessation Therapy
Tuesday February 8, 3:55 pm ET
- GlaxoSmithKline Calls for End to False Promises to Smokers Looking to Quit -


PITTSBURGH, Feb. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Consumer Healthcare filed suit today in Federal district court to seek an injunction against Nicodrops, Inc., the maker of Nicodrops, for false claims relating to the safety and efficacy of its so-called smoking cessation system. There is no proof that any herbal ingredient in Nicodrops, or the Nicodrops product itself, is a safe or effective therapy for smoking cessation, yet the company is making safety and efficacy claims.(1) Nicodrops and any other products making health claims as a drug should be subject to the same, rigorous FDA review process as GSK Consumer Healthcare's nicotine replacement therapies, which are proven to help smokers quit.
GSK Consumer Healthcare has a long history in developing innovative smoking cessation products, and currently sells the broadest range of non- prescription FDA-approved methods, including NicoDerm CQ(R) patch, Nicorette(R) gum, and Commit(R) lozenge. "Quitting smoking is one of the most important steps smokers can take to improve their health, but it's very hard to do," said George Quesnelle, President, GSK Consumer Healthcare, North America. "GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare is in this business to help people quit smoking, and we've invested decades of work and considerable financial resources to ensure that our products are safe and are proven to work. Smoking is the number one preventable cause of disease and death in this country. When people are misled into using snake oil instead of products that are proven to work, they waste a critical opportunity to quit smoking and potentially save their own lives."

The complaint addresses specific and false information about GSK Consumer Healthcare's products published by Nicodrops, and seeks immediate retraction. "Unproven products making unsubstantiated claims of superiority over FDA- approved smoking cessation therapies puts smokers at risk," said Quesnelle. "We simply want Nicodrops to stop making false claims about their products and ours, and to withdraw their products from the marketplace until they can market them truthfully."

To date, GSK Consumer Healthcare's stop-smoking products have helped more than 2 million Americans stop smoking by providing lower, safe doses of nicotine to ease withdrawal from cigarettes. GSK Consumer Healthcare's nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products are clinically proven to help smokers safely manage the symptoms of nicotine dependence and withdrawal so they can quit successfully.(2) NRT helps smokers quit without exposing them to the more than 4,000 chemicals and at least 69 known or suspected carcinogens found in tobacco smoke.(3) Smokers can choose which medicinal nicotine product to use based upon their preferences and individual smoking habits, including how much they smoke. Further, smokers can choose a GSK Consumer Healthcare medication confident in the knowledge that these products have been tested in over 100 controlled clinical trials involving over 35,000 participants and found to be safe and effective in helping smokers quit.(4)

About GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare

GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare is one of the world's largest over- the-counter healthcare products companies. Its more than 30 well-known brands include the leading smoking cessation products, Nicorette and NicoDerm and Commit, as well as many medicine cabinet staples, Abreva(R), Aquafresh(R), Sensodyne(R) and Tums(R). GSK Consumer Healthcare continues to develop innovative products to help all smokers find their best support system and achieve their goal of being cigarette free.

GSK doesnt want the competition... understandable. this will probably have a neg effect on the pps. DAMN!! but if the product works--NCDP will have to back up their claims. maybe its a scare tactic
 
Posted by Namoper150 on :
 
Negative? Are you kidding me?

Think about it for a second. Glaxo is a multi-billion dollar pharm company. There are over 70+ products (gums, pills, water, drops, etc.) that claim to help smokers quit. Yet, Glaxo targets a start up PINK SHEET company with no advertising, one retailer on a trial basis, no brand awareness, no financials, nothing. Why? Other herbal remedies do exist out there, yet they target NCDP. Why? Because they really think there is a public health risk by taking Nicodrops??

C'mon folks. They are scared. Pharms always try to crush competition. They know something - either they know about another major retailer being signed, or about an ad campaign to kick off, or about current sales... they know something and are afraid.

The stock was up today, and spiked at the end of day. Why in God's name would anyone sell now??? PPS may dip, but that's it. Most shareholders will hold and wait for a response from Chris. If he can prove that Nicodrops works from independent 3rd party testimonials, AND prove that no side effects occur, we are looking at THE stock of 2005.

i will hold--youre right about that--just hope the thousands of people in this agree.why would anyone sell now? well they might sell for any number of reasons, but most likely because of this pr. when NCDP does come out with a pr to defend itself, then we will see. and a pr would be about time. i cant remember when the last one was, but i think around dec 16?

I think I will buy more as the few that get scared get out. Once this suit is resolved I believe that we will have the proof needeed to boost our pps skyward. How long do these types of suits last? I just want to know how much time I have to accumulate. It is a gamble, what the court decides will determine the future of this company, and I'm feeling lucky........

GO NICO!!!!!!

Think I'll switch from Tums to Rolaids, Aquafresh to Colgate and if I can find any additional products they make, I'll stop using them too.

They certainly have done all NCDP stockholders a favor as I see it.

I just read the PR again. This is not a new issue, drug companys have been trying to get herbal remedys under the same rigerous testing that their products go through in testing by the FDA. I am going to search for other cases that have similar suits "false claims relating to the safety and efficacy of a herbal product". I suggest that others do the same. I will report back later.....

some reading......

Herbal Remedies and the Law

The original Food and Drugs Act of 1906 was, at the time, a bold step forward. It effectively abolished the patent medicine and meat-packing frauds that, thanks to sensational journalism, had been the main causes of the public pressure which led to eventual reform. The act prohibited adulterated or misbranded drugs but did not deal with the safety or efficacy of the drugs themselves. Those matters were really not addressed for a third of a century.

In the late 1930s, public opinion was again mobilized, this time by the Elixir-of-Sulfanilamide tragedy in which more than 100 persons were fatally poisoned by a newly marketed drug product.1

As a result, the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act was passed. It required that all drugs sold in this country be proven safe. This act was subsequently amended in 1962. Since the Drug Amendments of 1962 followed extensive congressional investigations of the drug industry led by Senator Estes Kefauver, they are still commonly referred to as the Kefauver-Harris Amendments. They required that all drugs marketed in the United States after 1962 be proven both safe and effective.

The procedure used since 1938 to ensure new drug safety was known as a New Drug Application. That title soon became abbreviated to NDA. Something now had to be done so that those drugs already proven safe through the NDA mechanism were also proven effective. Approximately 4,000 different drug formulations, representing about 300 different chemical entities, fell into the category of drugs actually being sold, and another 3,000 formulations were covered by NDAs but were not actively marketed.

Lacking the resources to tackle this gigantic task itself, the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) turned for help in 1962 to the Division of Medical Sciences of the National Academy of Sciences, National Research Council. They, in turn, organized a "Drug Efficacy Study," which lasted nearly seven years and finally culminated in a report to the FDA in 1969. Our interest here is largely in drugs that may be purchased without a physician's prescription, so-called over-the-counter (OTC), or nonprescription, drugs. The study covered 420 of the estimated 350,000 such products and declared that only one-quarter of the 420 examined were effective. These findings pointed out the need for a more comprehensive review of the efficacy of all OTC drugs, applying identical standards to every one. Obviously, it would be impossible to study all of the estimated one-third million products, so it was decided to examine only their 200 active ingredients.

A further obstacle needed to be overcome. Some of the older drugs had been "grandfathered" under both the 1938 act and the 1962 amendments since they were covered by the original 1906 Food and Drugs Act. How could the FDA remove these drugs from the market? Even if they were proven ineffective, they were apparently immune from the "effective" requirement established at the later dates.

The FDA reached these grandfathered drugs by what can only be described as an extremely innovative application of administrative law. 2 The agency simply declared that a drug would be considered misbranded if the manufacturer made any claims for it which were not in accord with the findings of one of seventeen panels set up in 1972 to review the efficacy of the active ingredients of all OTC drugs. In other words, a particular drug, even though exempt from proofs of safety and efficacy under existing laws, was barred from commerce if any unsubstantiated claim was made as part of the labeling that it was "good" for anything, that is, effective for the treatment of a disease state. The word label is very broadly interpreted to include not only the words printed on the container or package but also any literature accompanying it, such as a package insert.

Testing Herbal Remedies

In their search for proof of efficacy of the various OTC drugs, the seventeen panels, each of which concerned itself with a different class of therapeutic agents, had a number of potential sources of information. Neither testimonials nor market success were considered reliable criteria. This left in vitro tests (tests conducted outside the patient or any living organism) and various kinds of clinical trials (on patients) as the most acceptable methods.

Relatively simple in vitro tests may be suitable for the evaluation of a small number of certain drugs. For example, antacids can be mixed with acid to determine their neutralizing capacity. However, to prove the safety and efficacy of most therapeutic agents, pharmacological studies are necessary. They are ordinarily begun in small animals and continued with increasing complexity all the way through a series of so-called randomized, double-blind clinical trials in human beings. That simply means that some patients selected at random receive the drug while others are given a placebo; both groups are unaware of what they are taking. The results are evaluated by a physician who is also unaware of who is getting what treatment, and after statistical analysis of the data, a judgment is made of the drug's effectiveness.

Such studies, particularly the complex clinical trials, are extremely expensive. Estimates vary, but a 1990 study placed the total average cost of developing a single new chemical compound for drug use at $231 million over a period of twelve years!3 The most recent estimate for the average cost of a successful new drug application is $359 million. 4 A large part of this amount would certainly be the cost of testing the compound to establish its safety and efficacy as required in the New Drug Application.

Obviously, no company is going to make this kind of investment unless there is a reasonable expectation that it will be able to recover its costs and also show a profit. Since patent protection, now limited to a maximum of seventeen years, begins in the early stages of development of a drug, not when it is approved for marketing by the FDA, about 90 percent of the new drugs currently introduced have a remaining patent life of less than eleven years. The old "plant" drugs, some of which have been known and used for centuries, do not even qualify for this degree of protection. For this reason, the pharmaceutical industry has shown little interest in sponsoring studies on them, and the safety and efficacy of most herbal remedies remains unproven. Remember, too, that the panels did not necessarily review a drug unless requested to do so by a manufacturer or some other interested party who was then asked to provide quantities of supporting data.

Unsafe and Ineffective

In 1990, results of the FDA study of over-the-counter drugs, including many herbs, were released to the public. The results were very disappointing. Although some plant drugs such as cascara bark and senna leaves and pods were found to be safe and effective (in these cases as laxatives) and placed in category I, some 258 herbs and herbal products were not so judged. Of these, 142 were categorized as unsafe or ineffective, category II. There was insufficient evidence to evaluate the effectiveness of the other 116, and these were placed in category III.

Keep in mind that under this system, the FDA made judgments only on the basis of the evidence presented. Therefore, when it placed peppermint oil in category III, the FDA was not saying that peppermint oil was an ineffective digestive aid; it was merely noting that it had received insufficient evidence to allow peppermint oil to be designated effective. The same is true for prune concentrate and powder, which were not classified as effective laxatives even though they are universally known to be such.

The FDA has for some time maintained a list of substances "Generally Recognized as Safe," better known in the trade as the GRAS list. About 250 herbs appear on this list, primarily based on their use as food additives, that is, as flavors or spices in the culinary arts and the beverage industry. Some of them, such as ginger and licorice, are also employed for their medicinal action, but GRAS listing does not mean that the FDA has approved the herb for therapeutic purposes.

All of these circumstances have led to the situation I mentioned before in which, until recently, practically all herbal remedies have been removed from the shelves of pharmacies and from the supervision of knowledgeable pharmacists. Such remedies migrated to the health food stores where they are sold under the guise of herbs, teas, health foods, food supplements, nutritional products, etc., labeled only with the name of the product. No claim of effectiveness for any condition appears on the label of such containers nor in any leaflet or advertisement that directly accompanies the drug. Any such claim would cause the product to be declared misbranded and render it subject to confiscation. How then does the uninformed consumer learn the uses of the various herbs? Salespeople generally avoid recommendations (especially if the customer looks like a law enforcement official), since such activity could result in a charge of unlicensed practice of medicine. However, the clerks in health food stores or the catalogs of mail-order establishments will refer interested persons to a large selection of books, pamphlets, and charts that list the drugs and describe their supposed uses. Some of these information sources are quite broad in scope and are called herbals or natural-medicine books. Others limit their coverage to a single drug or therapeutic class of drugs. Still others list the various diseases or conditions that require treatment and then recommend specific remedies. In this way, current laws and regulations requiring that OTC drugs be proven safe and effective prior to marketing are circumvented.

Labeling a package only with the common name of a drug has some very serious drawbacks aside from the omitted information on utility. The popular names of plants are not only numerous but inexact. Used without a qualifying adjective, the term "snakeroot" applies to at least six different plants, including Actea pachypoda Elliott, Aristolochia serpentaria L., Asarum canadense L., Cimicifuga racemosa (L.) Nutt., Eupatorium rugosum Houtt., and Senecio aureus L. Several modifying adjectives are also used to denote these or other species. Thus we have black snakeroot, button snakeroot, Canada snakeroot, corn snakeroot, heart snakeroot, Indian snakeroot, large snakeroot, prairie snakeroot, rattle snakeroot, Sampson's snakeroot, seneca (senega or seneka) snakeroot, Texas snakeroot, Virginia snakeroot, and white snakeroot, among others. When I see any plant material labeled snakeroot, I feel like a rider for the Pony Express watching the last telegraph pole being placed in position on the California line. It is depressing!

We see packages labeled oriental ginseng, wild red American ginseng, Korean ginseng, Tienchi ginseng, Chinese ginseng, and ginseng ad infinitum and ad nauseam, often with no indication of the botanical origin of the plant material inside. We see mistletoe on an herb tea label and wonder whether it is from the European species (Viscum album L.) or the American. The latter term could refer to as many as 200 different species of the genus Phoradendron. When it comes to gotu kola (which does not contain any cola), and Fo-ti-tieng, which is not the same as fo-ti, the situation becomes dangerously confusing.

The only answer to this herbal Tower of Babel is to require that the scientific name, that is, the Latin binomial, of the plant appear on the labels of all herbs. As a matter of fact, the American Society of Pharmacognosy has recommended to the FDA that in addition to the scientific name, the label should indicate the part(s) of the plant represented, the country of origin, and a specific lot number that could be related to a voucher specimen maintained for reference purposes. That would solve the identity problem; questions concerning safety, efficacy, and potency would still remain, of course.

One unfortunate part of this whole situation is that at least some of the drugs of natural origin which must legally be sold in this manner without any indication of use are no doubt safe and do possess useful therapeutic properties. We know this from the continued widespread use of these products in countries other than the United States. The science of herbal medicine is far more advanced in Germany today than in the United States, and the laws and regulations of that country are more realistic than ours with respect to the evidence required to prove safety and efficacy of an herbal product. There a doctrine of "reasonable certainty" prevails. This means that the health authorities place considerable emphasis on reports of the experiences of general practitioners in evaluating a plant drug, and such experiences are supplemented by evidence found in the literature and supplied by manufacturers.

For several years, a special committee (Commission E) of the Bundesgesundheitsamt (Federal Department of Health) reviewed the safety and efficacy of herbs and published the results of its findings in monographic form in the Bundesanzeiger, a publication equivalent to our Federal Register. These monographs constitute some of the most up-to-date and useful information extant on the safety and efficacy of plant drugs. They are frequently cited as the findings of German health authorities in the discussions of the various herbs that constitute the remainder of this volume.

To clarify the impact of the different regulatory philosophies in Germany and the United States, let us take a brief look at a single herb, valerian. The dried rhizome and roots (underground parts) of Valeriana officinalis L. have been valued as a tranquilizing agent for more than 1,000 years. Valerian enjoyed official status in the United States for 150 years and was included in The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) from 1820 to 1942 and in The National Formulary from 1942 to 1950. It is still available in pharmacies in the form of a tincture, but a pharmaceutical manufacturer would probably drop this product rather than spend the time and money necessary to prove its safety and efficacy--after ten centuries of use. However, valerian "dietary supplement" products--teas, capsules, tablets, extracts, and the like--abound in health food stores.

In contrast to the limited availability of pharmaceutical quality valerian in this country, more than 100 different proprietary drug products containing it or its active principles are currently marketed in Germany. Research carried out there has not yet been able to establish with certainty the exact identity of the active principles responsible for its calmative and sedative properties, but German health authorities have found the drug effective. They have also noted that it is free from side effects and contraindications and have established a proper schedule for its various dosage forms. Such a gentle tranquilizer as valerian has a distinct advantage over its synthetic cousins in that its effects are not synergistic with (are not usually potentiated by) alcohol. It is indeed unfortunate that this useful drug is primarily available in the United States as a foul-smelling tincture, bitter herbal tea, or capsule instead of a more palatable legitimate drug form. And this is entirely a result of present laws and regulations governing the sale of drugs in this country.

Fortunately, Mark Blumenthal, Executive Director of the American Botanical Council in Austin, Texas, has produced an English translation of the complete Commission E monographs. For the first time, a wide American audience will have access to the regulations produced by the German health authorities.

So much for the past and present. What about the future? Fortunately, there are some hopeful signs that this extremely negative legal and regulatory situation in the field of herbal medicine will not continue indefinitely. The groundswell of consumer enthusiasm for all things natural, including herbs, sometimes referred to as the "green wave," may develop enough influence to induce needed changes. 5

I would expect a press release from NCDP, not only defending its product but ATTACKING this monster pharm in a few days, maybe next week. Also, they may go for the one-two punch and also release a PR about sales figures and/or testimonails. That would be fantastic.

Oh, and for whomever asked about Repoman75... don't worry, he is watching. [Wink]

Here is some Q&A on federal courts.....

Q: How many district courts are there?


There are 89 districts in the 50 states, which are listed with their divisions in Title 28 of the U.S. Code, Sections 81-144. District courts also exist in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. In total there are 94 U.S. district courts. Some states, such as Alaska, are composed of a single judicial district. Others, such as California, are composed of multiple judicial districts. The number of judgeships allotted to each district is set forth in Title 28 of the U.S. Code, Section 133.


Q: How do I file a civil case? Is there a charge?


A civil action is commenced by the filing of a complaint. Parties instituting a civil action in a district court are required to pay a filing fee pursuant to Title 28, U.S. Code, Section 1914. The current fee is $150. Complaints may be accompanied by an application to proceed in forma pauperis, meaning that the plaintiff is incapable of paying the filing fee.


Q: How can I check on the status of my case? Can I review case files?


Your lawyer, who likely is familiar with local court practice, is your best resource. Generally, all documents filed with a court are public records and are available through the clerk's office. By way of exception, some documents are sealed by special court order, and some documents are confidential by operation of law, such as grand jury materials and criminal files relating to juveniles.

As the keeper of court records, the fee clerk's office responds to most inquiries on the status of a case once given the specific case name or docket number. In many courts, inquiries for information and requests to examine dockets, case files, exhibits, and other records are made at the intake area in the clerk's office. Inquiries often are made by phone. There is a $15 fee for the retrieval of information that is not readily available. A fee of $ .50 a page also is assessed for providing copies of court documents.

Almost all federal courts have automated systems that allow for the search and retrieval of case-related information through personal computers at the public counters and through an internet service called PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records). Automated access to case-related information is available free of charge at the public counter in the clerk's office of most courts. The PACER service, which provides access from home or office for registered users, currently assesses a reasonable fee of $ .07 per page. Effective January 1, 2005, the PACER fee increased to $ .08 per page.


In many bankruptcy and appellate courts there also are telephone information systems, which enable callers to obtain case information through the use of a touch tone phone. These systems are provided free of charge, are available 24 hours a day, and have a toll free number for long distance service.

For more information, visit the Directory of Electronic Public Access Services

Q: When will the court reach a decision in my case?


Most cases are handled in an expeditious manner. The Speedy Trial Act of 1974 establishes standard time requirements for the timely prosecution and disposition of criminal cases in district courts. There is no similar law governing civil trial scheduling, and as a result, the scheduling of criminal cases is assigned a higher priority.

In 1990, Congress enacted legislation that directs each district court to devise and adopt a civil expense and delay reduction plan. One goal established under the legislation is for each civil case to be scheduled for trial within 18 months of filing the complaint.

Litigants should keep in mind that judges have many duties in addition to deciding cases. The average district court judge has more than 400 newly filed cases to contend with each year. In addition to trials, judges conduct sentencings, pretrial conferences, settlement conferences, motions hearings, write orders and opinions, and consider other court matters both in the courtroom and in their chambers.

There are numerous reasons for delay, many of which are outside of a court's control. Attorneys and/or litigants may be responsible. Cases may be delayed because settlement negotiations are in progress. Some courts also experience shortages in judges or available courtrooms.

I used to smoke and tried to quit while using the patch. One day I smoked on top of using the patch. I felt extremely sick and learned the hard way not to do that. I think basically I overdosed on nicotine. I believe ND has the right to warn people of the ill effects of nicotine based products.
 
Posted by ARI on :
 
WASHINGTON, July 2, 2002 -- The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has ruled that bottled water with nicotine is an unapproved drug and cannot be legally sold as a dietary supplement to help smokers kick the habit.

The FDA was responding to a petition from anti-smoking and health groups that had submitted petitions demanding teh agency take action against Nico Water, which was being promoted on the Internet as a "cure" for smoking.

FDA said that since it considered nicotine addiction a disease, Nico Water could legally be treated as an unapproved drug. It also held that Nico Water could not be sold as a dietary supplement because it contains an active ingredient -- namely, nicotine polacrilex which is approved fur use in certain drug products, including chewing gum.

"FDA's decision underscores our commitment that consumers be protected from drug products that have not undergone our rigorous review process," said Dr. Lester M. Crawford, FDA Deputy Commissioner.

A spokesman for the manufacturer of Nico Water disagreed. Ed Haisha of QT5 Inc. said that Nico Water is not a smoking-cessation product but a "smoking alternative" for use by smokers when they are unable to light up.

The petition was submitted in December of 2001, on behalf of several groups including the National Center for Tobacco-Free Kids, the American Medical Association, and the American Lung Association. The petitioners specifically requested that the FDA classify and regulate "Nicotine Water" as a drug under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), or classify and regulate this product as a food containing an unapproved food additive under the Act.

I don't see this happening to Nicodrops. Nicodrops is not including nicoteen in their losenge's. There are plenty of other losenges out there that are for cough and cold some that come to mind,Ricola and Ludens....If you rule against them it might set a precident and open the flood gates for drug companys to begin suing any company that produces an herbal remedy.

At the most, in my opinon, that will happen could be that Nicodrops might have to change their wording in advertisements or something like that.

What great publicity there will be alot of talk about Nicodrops over the next few days. I'll be looking for a fresh PR in the morning but if not we could see a falling pps, in which case I'll buy more....

GO NICO!!!!!

A part of the complaint states the following:

We simply want Nicodrops to stop making false claims about their products and ours, and to withdraw their products from the marketplace until they can market them truthfully.

I am looking at the box now and is does not state anything about other products. In fact it says discontinue if you are experiencing one or more of the following symptoms: depression, nausea, cold sweats, dizziness, or vomiting.

There is nothing on the box that compares ND to other products.

Real reason for GSK actions! My post from RB onebiteonekill
good point! Never thought of them doing this in terms of a product liability lawsuit. Was thinking more in terms of GSK running scared because of a definite alternative to what they have on the market. (Sort of what the generics have done to the brand name drugs market share over the years). Even tho this isn't a generic in any shape or form it would definitely grab a slice of the market in the first year and with quigley and joel appel working them over it could turn into a full blown collapse of their product. Next time you are in a drug store look at all the different type of cold eeze products on the shelf and measure the amount of shelf space they take up compared to when they frist came out with one product. It is amazing and this is one example of what quigley can do. Think of Ncdp in terms of several types of products including flavors, sugar free etc. and we could have the beginnings of something huge here. No wonder GSK is scared!

namoper, I still have faith in nicodrops but I think in this case the bad outwieghs the good. Sure GSK is scared, they have a monopoly on the smoking cessation market and want it to stay that way, BUT a lawsuit is no good, especially when we are dealing with herbal products like ginseng, it's just no good. On top of that, I'm just bummed with pennnies in general. They are starting to lose their appeal when you consider poor advertising, marketing, press releases, reverse splits, scam companies, rediculous o/s's, volatility to manipulation. I'm holding ncdp, but it goes against the #1 rule of pennies

True compound, but I see on other posts you also just got burned from MLON. Don't let the taste of that scam ruin your appetite! You know we have a product, people say it works without side effects, and unless the FDA moves in to regulate ALL Herbal products, we're in the clear on this one. True, legal fees are a concern, but this should turn out ok for us in the long run, better than ok actually.

Green Baron jumps on:

The Green Baron Report is encouraged to hear that Nicodrops will vigorously defend the Company and its products. Yesterday, a lawsuit was filed by GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare. In our experience, The Green Baron Report usually sees this kind of action only come when it appears there might be an impending and “real threat” to existing products that are on the market. Nicodrops feels very comfortable with its claims, and appears capable and ready to defend itself in court. Judging by the trading in NCDP today, this development has had no effect in the stock price, and quite honestly, it may get a boost due to the tremendous press coverage.

I can understand how you would be concerned but this has no merit any longer nor will it affect the company at all!

Awful quiet in here since the price dropped. BTW, NEGATIVE publicity is never good, and a there is nothing positive about a lawsuit, even if you end up winning it.

I think the next test may be if Cvs continues to keep selling the product up to injunction date. If they pull this off the shelves in next few weeks it would signal a win for Gsk. If I were Cvs I would keep selling since they are getting some free pr out of this. Someone posted on RB about Listerine having a similar suit years ago and wound up having to change a couple of words. Anyway, if they do pull it they would replace it with newer snazzier packaging (I hear they need it) minus a word or two here or there. Still think they will prevail in this imo.

Does this new regulation apply to NCDP?

New York, NY (February 14, 2005) -- Pink Sheets has implemented a new policy for issuers of newly traded securities regarding the disclosure of adequate current information to the investing public. While Pink Sheets encourages all issuers to make this information available to the public, it is only required of those companies which have securities quoted on an Unsolicited basis on the Pink Sheets and that have never been listed on an exchange or quoted on the OTCBB.

Just a post to see if anyone has any idea as to what the sales figures are for nicodrops in relation to whether the company is profitable.
 
Posted by Namoper150 on :
 
No idea. One web site posted 2 million trial units sold last month. I e-mailed them to ask where they received their numbers from, but have not gotten back a response.

We need like 15 million trial size units sold. Chris said that 60% of profits would be revenue. Therefore, $150 mil * .6 / 850 mil shares would put us at .10.

Only $62K in revenue from sales up to Dec. 31, 2004... that doesn't sound good.

Also, the old shell company owns 200 mil. shares still to dump on the market.

On a positive note, looks like 2 EU manufacturers will be starting soon...

Thanks, I'll be picking up some of those shares.
It's still a "start-up" people.

My Humble Opinion says this one will grow. I'd think about the possibilities rather than going into panic mode over this document. There are some good points as someone said the EU will be exciting.

Anyway, it's a Pinky and everyone should make their own decisions and never invest more than you can afford to loose.

Bail??? Hahaha.. why? That was sales BEFORE advertising, a major manufacturing center (in the U.S. AND the EU, a distributor agreement.

The company now has ALL that with no overhead and no real debt (1.7 mil?), 400 million shares only in the float, AND free publicity.

You guys get out... I'll see you at .2 in 2006.
 
Posted by Mike1stPE on :
 
Should we be surprised?
The disclosure statement and financials are to some degree inline with info provided by unofficial sources. For example the Green Baron on Jan 8/05 basically stated as follows - We are also trying to confirm the precise number of shares outstanding and in the float. Based on conversations with executives and consultants with Nicodrops, we agree that this company could fetch a price of $300 to 350 million once the products have been placed in the market and conservative sales projections are met. Even with 600 to 700 million shares outstanding, that would convert to about .50 per share. At the current price of just over .01 per share, we view this as an attractive speculation
Basically they were off by 200,000,000, still this leaves us with a very attractive speculation.

The financial should come as no surprise with C Calpito being duly appointed President and Director on Jun 28/04 - He basically started product delivery around Dec14/04 to CVS. Again it is not surprising the low revenue number considering year end was a couple of weeks away. The real telling will be when J Appel gears up the marketing component and with key markets on the verge of signing on, this could get very interesting.

The only concern I really have is the lawsuit and obviously the outcome, as with everything in the equity markets - time will tell.

NCDP= Product placement at CVS with no advertising and marketing plan
NCDP= Major company filing law suit and no money to hire big attorney team as needed.
NCDP= Product not tested and is hoping on testamonials alone to move the product.
NCDP= Previous shell owners and others dumping their shares for the past 4 months to get paid for what ever work or deals were struck up with Chris.

I have been buying on the dips as well, a much smaller scale of course but none the less I am still in.
Kind of disappointed in the revenues though.
 
Posted by stocktracker on :
 
No. I'm still in at this point. Started to jump ship and then realized that it's money I can afford to lose (only a couple G's). Even if the stock does tank I can honestly say that I used Nicodrops to get off the dipping. I still went through some withdrawal symptoms, but they were no where near the withdrawals if I had stopped cold turkey. Besides, I am interested to be part of the battle Chris puts up against the corporate giant Galaxo defending what I feel is an honest company.

Dear CVS Customer:

Thank you for your patience in waiting for this response. NicoDrops are not available in the CVS/pharmacy stores, however you will be able to purchase them online at www.cvs.com . We expect them to be available on our website in approximately 2 weeks.

On to bigger, better things. I contacted cvs regional. Ask about ND's how good they are and the price is right. She mentioned they will be available over the web shortly in a couple of weeks. She even said they may be in the system now but they were not. She said there has been great demand on this product and many positive things said about it.
 
Posted by stocktracker on :
 
So people will be able to order them online from CVS. People can already order them online from the Nicodrops website. I want to see the product on store shelves right next to the nicotine gum and patch products. That's where the money is.

Excellent point. I only hope if enough people order them thru cvs.com they may put them in the stores.

Reply from Walgreens - due your own DD

Thank you for taking your time to contact our Corporate Offices. We appreciate hearing from our customers and value all comments received.

We are currently in the process of negotiations with the makers of Nicodrops. It has not been released nationally yet and is only in select CVS stores. Once production reaches the point Nicodrops makes their national launch, Walgreens will be carrying the item. However, it may not be for a couple of more months.

Again, thank you for letting us know about your satisfaction. We truly appreciate your thoughtfulness

From another board. It appears NCDP is not only preparing to market Nicodrops nationwide in a multitude of chains, however, they will be lining up the testimonials... last piece of the puzzle will be advertising once the products are in the stores and the testimonials are filed:

Guys! I just got a call from Chris Calpito at Nicodrops. He asked me if you could use my testimonial and I agreed. He is sending me a marketing survey as well. He's also sending me 4 boxes of Nicodrops. I mentioned GSK and he laughed and said " ya, they're trying to crush us". he didn't seem to worried about it. I told him about the grass roots effort from members on this board and he was very appreciative. i'm still a little shocked he actually called.

Hmmm. Just received this email from a Walgreens rep:

"thank you very much for your request for the item Nicodrop. I've contacted our corporate office to see if that item will be available any time soon. My regrets that the item is not headed our way just yet. Good luck on your quest to quit smoking."

In addition, a CVS rep informed me the drops were only in stores on a trial basis but would be available online soon.

Seems Nicodrops would fair much better if and when they actually hit the store shelves.
 
Posted by ARI on :
 
The three main hurdles this company will have to overcome are as follows:

1) They must win the suit with Glaxco.

2) They must have enough capital to promote and advertise their product.

3) They must find avenues for distribution. Cvs is a great start and the rumors of Wallgreens is great, but until there are PR's released by Nicodrops these are only rumors.


While it is important, I don't think that the the question "Do they work?" is as important as getting the public to think that they do. A celebrity endorsement or something along those lines would be wonderfull.


Until those three points are adressed I will keep accumulating...GLTA....I also feel that it is important to say this is all just my opinon, so don't call me a basher I like this one....
 
Posted by Apenorm57 on :
 
I agree Ari. Watch for a PR this week to announce CVS is permanently stocking Nicodrops on their website.

I too will keep accumulating
 
Posted by kottercracks on :
 
It appears they took the 'comparison' link off their website. Share price @ .01.

I still believe they would fair much better on the store shelves. Makes me wonder why CVS put them on the shelves for a trial basis and not as a permanant product.

Some PR would be nice as well.
 
Posted by kottercracks on :
 
Some nice fat sales figures would also be nice. LOL
 
Posted by Apenorm57 on :
 
I think they will be on the store shelves of CVS, eventually, and Walgreen's is next. Yes, PR would be nice, but a domino of PR;s (lawsuit dismissed, new retailers, sales figures, new advertising campaign) will drive this up to new support levels... until then, we just wait and accumulate.

Mike,

We believe there were some things that Nicodrops needed to address to be fully compliant and not risk being at fault. The Company is rigorously defending its claims. Why do you think a giant like GSK would bother with Nicodrops UNLESS they were concerned?

We still like Nicodrops and we will try to provide an update as soon as possible.

The Green Baron staff
 
Posted by foxtrot6 on :
 
Nicodrops, Inc. (PK: NCDP)

Many of our members have inquired about this home page stock pick that we chose back in December. Nicodrops had a strong move higher following our initial coverage and from announcements from the company that included the hiring of Joel Appel, a veteran salesman in the industry, and the placement of product at CVS Pharmacies. However, a lack of follow up store placements for product and a lawsuit filed by GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare put a damper on the share price since the beginning of the year.

Nicodrops continues to vigorously defend the lawsuit that begs the question; why would a giant like GlaxoSmithKline pick on this tiny pink sheet listed company? It appears obvious to us that the entrance of this newcomer onto this huge market is considered a credible threat. We will continue to track developments with the lawsuit as they are made available.

In the meantime, there is chatter on the message boards that Nicodrops may have landed some massive contracts. Although we cannot provide confirmation of this news now, The Green Baron Report believes that NCDP stock at this price is an absolute steal and represents a perfect entry point considering the risk verses reward. Currently NCDP trades at about .01 per share, below both our Stock to Watch price of .012 per share, and our home page profile price of .017 per share. A move back up to the .03 to .05 level would be expected should Nicodrops land a major deal.

Although we were hoping that news from Nicrodrops would have come by now, we remind our members of comments that we made in our update on January 8, 2005 when we stated, “Although The Green Baron Report remains very positive about the Nicodrops products and potential for strong sales, please understand that national distribution and huge sales do not occur overnight. It takes time to educate people through advertising and place the product where it can be purchased. Negotiations with key retailers and advertisers are ongoing. Although we anticipate more purchase orders with major retailers in the near term, we need to exhibit some patience while terms are negotiated and the Company’s business plans are implemented.”

About Nicodrops

Nicodrops, Inc., headquartered in La Mesa, CA, has developed the world's first drug free, non-nicotine product which is an aid to smokers wishing to give up their habit faster and at a lower cost than their major competitors without the adverse effects of nicotine. Nicodrops is an all-natural herb lozenge which helps to calm the nervous anxiety that is brought on by nicotine addiction. The company's lozenge products are based on patent protected proprietary technology which offers a safer alternative to all other nicotine based products in the marketplace today. More information can be found at the company’s website at www.nicodrops.com.

Nicodrops traded up as much as 50% yesterday on nearly triple its 10 day volume average following our update over the weekend that it appears new store placements may not be too far off.

FYI - GB UPDATE for APRIL 03, 2005


Sunday, April 3, 2005

Two Picks as Promised

ImageXpres (PK: IMJX)

and Nicodrops (PK: NCDP)

In our report on Friday April 1, we stated that, “Due to the recent increase in membership, it was our motivation more than ever to show all our members some ways to profit in the market right away. This weekend, The Green Baron Report will focus on two stock ideas we believe will rise dramatically over the next few weeks. We suggest all members to be on alert for our weekend report that will be issued on Sunday, April 3.” For various reasons, NCDP and IMJX are the two selections we recommend our members keep a close eye on in the days ahead.

Nicodrops, Inc. (NCDP) – When trading very low priced securities, timing and your execution price is everything. The Green Baron Report has remained cautious about Nicodrops since early January because technically the stock had weakened, and fundamentally new store placements had slowed and a lawsuit has loomed over the Company. We have been waiting for a precise time that our members could average down on Nicodrops, or enter a new position that could likely show huge gains in a short period of time.

We suggest entering limit orders on this stock at about a penny a share. As of Friday’s close, NCDP was offered at .011. A break of over .015 per share should send Nicodrops much higher. There will need to be a very strong fundamental news announcement to achieve this breakout. It is difficult to pinpoint when this will occur, but we believe it will happen within the next few weeks. The last run in December sent Nicodrops to .034 per share, and we believe a move at least back to this level will be seen in April.

What we need to find out is if the product is being distributed outside the US as well. The Nicodrops being sold in the US do not contain the ingredient Lobelia where as the Nicodrops being sold in Canada contains Lobelia.

Lobelia has a chemical structure and physiological effects that are believed to reduce the craving of not smoking .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. (Only in Canadian formulation.)

Contact Walgreen's yourself... you'll find out all you want to know.

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.

Heard from a Walgreens rep.

"Please check with your local pharmacy for availability in Mid-April of
2005. This product will be available
at his time."

....this could make a little run
 
Posted by Stealx on :
 
So after reading all these walgreens posts I decided to do some research myself. Called up their corporate office in Deerfield, IL and talked to their purchaser for the related smoking field.

He confirmed Walgreens will be carrying Nicodrops nationally.

I have a feeling Nicodrops will get to about $3.00 per share by the end of next week. I have some sound data pointing to a big increase. If you have not gotten in yet you had better get in now. Don't hate the player hate the game. Win one for the Gipper. Dream the impossible dream. You gotta believe. I have a dream. Take me out to the ball game. Throw me on the floor, rock me like never before and leave me screaming for more!!! GO NCDP!!!!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!!

Don't know about $3.00 but I can see .03 by Monday close and possibly .10 by the week end.

GB UPDATE - April 10/05

Greenbaron report

Nicodrops (PK: NCDP) Rallies as Much as 65% in one week AND Announces Deal After Friday’s Close for Chainwide Distribution in Walgreens!

Wait, it’s not over – We still have next week …

In an effort to prove to our recent influx of new members and once again to our loyal long term members that we are beyond a doubt the best microcap stock picking site on the Internet, last Sunday on April 1 The Green Baron Report boldly suggested two stocks to accumulate for a move over the next two weeks, and stated “we are going on record that the timing to pick these up is perfect”. We said that although, “ImageXpres was originally chosen just last month at .10 per share …we suggest picking up the stock again or adding to positions at about .15 per share.” We also suggested “entering limit orders on (Nicodrops) at about a penny a share”.

We still have a week to go for more upward movement on these two stocks and we think there is much more to go. By the end of these two weeks, we expect to be reporting results of well over 100% returns on both stocks, maybe even 200%. We challenge anyone to find another Internet newsletter that offers its readers returns like these. Here are the impressive results so far for our 2 selections NCDP and IMJX.



Nicodrops (PK: NCDP)

Weekend Pick #2

Urgent News Release at 5:09 PM EST Friday, April 8 - Nicodrops Announces Chainwide Distribution Agreement with Walgreen Co., the Nations Largest Drugstore Chain

The Green Baron Report carefully guided our members on how to accumulate Nicodrops earlier in the week. First, we suggested entering limit orders on this stock at about a penny a share. Members had a chance to pick up Nicodrops at .0105 on Monday, and at prices between .011 and .013 for most of the week. The Green Baron Report then stated that, “We are confident that Nicodrops will soon break out, and if so, heavy volume will likely tighten spreads considerably as it has done in the past.”

Volume and price began to show improvement later in the week, and NCDP even hit .0165 on Friday morning on no news. After the market closed on Friday, Nicodrops made public what had been rumored for weeks. Nicodrops AND Walgreen Co. announced that Walgreens will carry Nicodrops chain wide in its more than 4700 stores.

The Green Baron Report expects to see NCDP stock gap up on Monday morning. Savvy traders might even be able to pick up shares cheaply before the stock flies. Now that Nicodrops has landed the largest U.S. drugstore chain in terms of sales, The Green Baron Report believes that more major store chains will soon carry the product.

We expect to see NCDP soon blow through the last high that NCDP hit last December at .034 per share. It may take a few more press releases to regain confidence in the stock, but there is no reason why NCDP should trade for less that .05 per share in our humble opinion. Once again, congratulations to all members that listened to us last weekend.

i emailed mr. calpito about my own personel experience with his product he and told him i owned his stock. he is going to use part of my testimonial with others in a national ad permotion. i think big things are in the works.i just wish there was more pr. all i have to say is go nico goooooo! lets go to the bank on this one [Big Grin]
 
Posted by Apenorm57 on :
 
I'm picking even more at this price... even if it runs again, it will drop again, and i'll pick up more, so on and so forth. We will only have new support levels at .02 and higher once sales figures are released, if those sales figures are fantastic, we could see .05 - .1 in no time.

National ad campaign starting next month. You guys ready for a wild ride??

Well this starting to sound fantastic, have to give the company guys credit where it's due. Excellent job!! Throw in a few more distributors and OTC listing and, you know the rest.

Nicodrops Announces National Advertising Campaign
via COMTEX

April 12, 2005

Aggressive Marketing Campaign Set for a Late May - Early June Kickoff

LA MESA, Calif., Apr 12, 2005 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) --

Nicodrops, Inc. (Pink Sheets:NCDP), developer of the drug-free, non-nicotine smoking alternative, herbal dietary supplement, LOZENGE(i), today announced a national advertising rollout to promote its product. The campaign is set to begin in late May/early June. The initial campaign will start with nationally known National Enquirer magazine.

"Now that we have solid distribution in place coast to coast we are ready to kickoff an aggressive marketing and advertising campaign to build product and brand name awareness," said Christopher Calpito, president and CEO of Nicodrops, Inc. "We are very confident we can ramp up revenues by adding distribution channels in combination with a strong marketing plan."

Calpito said the company plans on targeting its marketing in late May and will continue after that with follow up ads for Back to School as well as a year-end New Year's Resolution campaign. All three campaigns will include a toll-free number to order the product. The ad will state "available at Walgreens" which carries Nicodrops in all 4,700 plus stores.

"Our goal with this marketing campaign is twofold - to sell Nicodrops and to help heighten awareness of our drug-free, non-nicotine smoking alternative product," said Joel Appel, Director of Marketing and Sales for Nicodrops. "We will ramp up the number of publications as we continue with our Back to School marketing program and year-end program. The campaign is geared toward increasing market share."

Kudos to Joel Appel. Great move bringing him on board to do the advertising. This one is on the way UP !!!!
 
Posted by Apenorm57 on :
 
We shall all be making a lot of money come the end of this year. Hold strong longs... this is going to be a great ride.
 
Posted by Stealx on :
 
Lets be realistic guys.... National Enquirer ??? Are you serious ?
 
Posted by ed19363 on :
 
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.

You do have a point, but at the same time do you really "believe" things you see in the Enquirer... psychologically you will be skeptical on the products advertised in there too.
 
Posted by ed19363 on :
 
Stealx, good point, but the power of advertising has to be offset by the cost of said advertising.
Beside, this is just a start. A low-end magazine has a greater chance of having smokers reading it IMO. Either way, we are getting nothing but good news, and NCDP should take off, especially if we get an announcement of the lawsuit being dropped. Personally, I dont think they have a leg to stand on, and it should be dismissed shortly.
 
Posted by Mike1stPE on :
 
HBO, CBS, and Kraft are three companies that advertised in the National Enquirer. Looks like pretty good company to me. Remember other publications will be in the works according to the PR.
 
Posted by clbgroove on :
 
They have not reported any earnings whatsoever!!!
They dont have any real over head because they have contracted Quigley to do the manufacturing. What overhead could they possibly have????
This is going to be a very, very cash cow rich company if these things actually work and the public jumps on the band wagon. People will try ANYTHING new if its presented right. Look at Stinger Systems that competed with TASER.... one day its .30 and 2 months later it hit $44 being a pink sheet stock.... and it hung out there for a while...any body that didnt get out at that was INSANE.
This one should do some good numbers if it gets off the ground!!!

I really do believe in this and I added up more this week. My opinion is that the only thing that will send this through the roof is some $$$(sales,etc) We need to know the revenue and what not because with CVS and Walgreens we have the distribution and the stock is stable, so its proof that its gonna take some financials to really ignite this.

GB UPDATE - APRIL24/05
Nicodrops, Inc. (NCDP)

Three weeks ago we called Nicodrops a trade. Now, The Green Baron Report is calling Nicodrops an investment. That’s right. Current owners of NCDP stock can all breathe a sigh of relief because The Green Baron Report is now going on record to say that we think NCDP is about ready to take off for good. NCDP can now be purchased at about .012 to .013 per share, the same price or less than it was trading prior to its announcement to supply product chain wide to Walgreens. WHAT A STEAL!

Members can expect us to follow Nicodrops very closely over the next several months. We would suggest members to snap up shares as low as possible ahead of what we think will be a huge move higher. Everyone has been concerned over a pending lawsuit filed by giant GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Heathcare, but we believe that continued interest from CVS and Walgreens proves it is unlikely their complaints have any merit. We also believe Nicodrops has made the necessary changes and alterations to packaging and product claims to move forward as a legitimate product.

Veteran industry salesman Joel Appel is still the front pitchman for the Nicodrops products. An industry trade show held over the weekend in Florida is expected to render new deals and store placements in the near future. The Green Baron Report believes NCDP will finally gain firm traction built off support at these levels, and begin a climb that will finally eclipse our old high level of .034 per share within 30 days. Mark your calendars!

Will be interesting to see if this little promo from Green Baron drives the price up
 
Posted by Mike1stPE on :
 
Hopefully it will build a stronger base around 0.015 to 0.018.
 
Posted by Northerlights#5 on :
 
Nice volume today; investors are loading up expecting NCDP to run over the next couple of weeks, due to Nicodrops now being sold in Walgreens and advertising coming in the next month.

GB UPDATE - APRIL 26/05

Nicodrops, Inc. (PK: NCDP)

NCDP closed up 12.5% on nearly 11 million shares today. We hope that our members are taking our suggestion that now is once again the time to accumulate. Judging by the increased volume today, and slight increase in price, this is likely what is happening. We believe within a few weeks our members will be thanking us in droves.

The industry trade show that we mentioned in our report on Sunday is the annual meeting for the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) and will be held from April 30 – May 4, 2005 at The Breakers, Palm Beach, Florida. The official website at http://meetings.nacds.org/conferences/nacds_main.cfm?page_id=3772 explains that this is the industry’s most influential, strategically-oriented event of the year with more than 2,200 business leaders from Drug, Food and Mass Merchandising companies and their supplier counterparts.

The Green Baron Report is currently in talks with Mr. Joel Appel to conduct a new exclusive Green Baron webcast interview. Mr. Appel maintains his position as Director of Sales and Marketing for Nicodrops, and we believe an update from him is vital at this stage of development for the Company. We are hoping to conduct the interview after his visit to the NACDS event. It was the addition of Mr. Appel that originally caused The Green Baron Report to elevate coverage of Nicodrops back in December from a Stock to Watch to a fully profiled stock for our home page. Mr. Appel was selected not only for his reputation in the industry for putting Slim-Fast on the map but his vast knowledge of product placement and advertising to maximize all markets.

At this point, we find it particularly fitting to remind our members of Mr. Appel’s experience. He began his career at Proctor & Gamble serving in the position of Territory Manager, Unit Manager and District Manager. While at Proctor & Gamble, Mr. Appel introduced Pampers Disposable Diapers and won an award for selling the most disposable diapers in the United States. During the 70's, 80's and 90's Mr. Appel was involved in sales and marketing of some very familiar brands, Oxy 5, Tums, Aqua Net and Orajel, just to name a few. During the early 80's he was Senior Executive VP at Jeffrey Martin where he served on the Board of Directors. In the late 80's, Mr. Appel held the position of Senior VP of Sales with Thompson Medical where he was part of the team that introduced Ultra Slim-Fast. More recently Mr. Appel held the position of Senior VP of Sales with GenDerm Health Care. While at GenDerm he helped reposition ZOSTRIX and ZOSTRIX-HP from ethically promoted and positioned products to consumer (OTC) products. The brand grew from 6 million to over 20 million dollars in sales in less than two years.

3rd day in a row of High Volume, over 10 million shares Mon, Tue, Wed; this stock is about to take off.
 
Posted by bond006 on :
 
well the green baron is correct mr appel is one of the top in his field he will get the product going with all his connections and this is one of the biggest product shows for nico drops kind of merchandise there should be some very good pr's come out after may 4th. also don't forget how repressed this stock has been. with all the negative problems it has had to over come. and at this point it has. this in mho is a great time to buy may and june will be real barn burners with this one. i my self am picking up all i can at these prices. go nico go
 
Posted by Northerlights#5 on :
 
This trade show in Florida will bring hundreds if not thousands of retail stores from across North America to one building; and NCDP will have their product set up for display. Many new retailers will have a chance to see Nicodrops for the first time, at a really good price, only $5 wholesale, Nicoderm is $25 wholesale.

-The Product (Nicodrops \ Christopher Calpito)

-Manufacturing (Quigley)
-Distribution (Walgreens, CVS, etc.)
-Advertising (National Enquirer, etc.)

Looks like a formula for success = $$

I decided to stop by Walgreens in Mission, Texas and picked up some nicodrops to see if they can help me quit my chewing tobacco habit. I'll let you guys know how it's going in like a week or so. I have no position in this stock whatsoever so you'll get my honest opinion. I've already tried one just to see how they taste, and I must say, the taste is not too bad, it's actually kind of good. I've been chewing tobacco ever since my senior year in high school. I'm currently 32 years old. If it works, I plan on picking up a largwe position of NCDP, if not, well at least I tried.

BTW...you guys know how the american population reacts to trends right>>>even if these things dont work and it's a hoax it will be way to late for them to get my money back from them because I def will not be sitting around waiting for it to fall after it skyrockets like so many new stocks have done in the past.
All you have to do in todays society is tell them it works and 9 months later they say "hey, we think they lied to us,I didnt quit smoking yet so they must not work" lol
They may not have the willpower to quit smoking but I can assure you I will have more than enough will power to make it down to the bank and cash my Scottrade check!!!!!!!!!

This is the perfect time to get in if your a long, it is still under 2 cents and has only room to grow. If you are a day or swing trader, this is till a good buy, maybe not tomorrow, but over the next couple of weeks when a PR breaks, NCDP will have a nice bounce.

gsk law suit is just about done

Anyone interested in reading the actual complaint filed by GSK against NCDP can do so at www.texpalm.com.

IMO, there is nearly no chance that GSK can prevail with this complaint. The original complaint had four counts. GSK had to amend and refile dropping count III (commercial disparagement) and count IV (fraud).

The compalint is more rhetoric then anything else

NCDP has pulled back to solid support at about .012 per share. We absolutely love this price level for accumulation. The Green Baron Report has been right on the money with our suggestions on when to buy NCDP. We anticipate sideways movement for a little longer, but a huge move up could occur at any time.

Mr. Joel Appel was very pleased by his visit to the annual National Association of Chain Drug Store (NACDS) convention last weekend. The Green Baron Report is planning several exclusive webcast interviews with Mr. Appel over the coming months so that members can keep better tabs on the progress of Nicodrops onto the market. We hope to have the first webcast available sometime next week, and we will be sure to notify our members as soon as we have a firm date. The future is looking bright!

Joel Appel, Director of Marketing for NCDP-
Mr. Appel began his career with Proctor & Gamble as Territory Salesman, Unit Manager and District Manager. While at Proctor & Gamble, Mr. Appel introduced Pampers Disposable Diapers and won The Golden Diaper Award. During the 70's and early 80's Mr. Appel was involved with the sales and marketing of some very familiar brands, OXY 5, TUMS and Orajel, just to name a few. In the mid 80's Mr. Appel held the position of Senior Vice President of Sales with Thompson Medical Company where he was responsible for introducing Ultra Slim Fast, which ultimately grew to be close to a billion dollar brand. More recently Mr. Appel held the position of Senior Vice President of Sales with GenDerm Health Care. While at GenDerm Mr. Appel repositioned ZOSTRIX and ZOSTRIX -HP from ethically promoted and positioned products to consumer (OTC) products. In addition, Mr. Appel leveraged the success behind ZOSTRIX to launch PENTRAX and OCCLUSAL-HP from ethical brands to successful OTC brands.

johnnyR, Nicødrops are $9.99 for a box of 20. The next cheapest item in the rack is $22.99, if shoppers had the choice to try a pack of Nicødrops for 9.99 or a pack of Nicoderm for $39, they will probably try the 9.99 first.

They are selling on the website for 60.00 per hundred when you include shipping. That may be a really old number and the lozengez may be different. 30 day supply for 60.00.

The reason I ask is the price of cigarettes themselves. At 25.00/carton that is over .10 per cig and someone smoking a pack or two a day would spend quite a bit. This would be 2 dollars per day if you used the recommended amounts, less if just when you have a craving you want to stop. If you cut your smoking in half or quit completely it would be worth it financially.

One of their customer references said they used them to knock the edge off during long periods when smoking was impossible like long flights. People in factories go 3 or more hours between smoke breaks.

I think this could develop a following if it just helps take the edge off.

Since it is cheaper than the other products it will create competition so don't look for the price to stay that far apart.


800 million shares at 20 million profit would raise us considerably. Say .025 X 20 pe would raise us to .50.

Sounds like a good gamble to me.

johnnyR, The $60 price that you are referring to is for 5 boxes plus shipping. Each Nicødrop is 50 cents. They last for 2-4 hours depending on how addicted you are to nicotine. You can check out CVS.com they have Nicødrops selling for $9.99.

JohnnyR,

Smokers don’t have to want to quit or cut back on smoking to want to buy Nicodrops. Nicodrops are a smoking alternative, which means when a smoker is on a plane, at work, a movie, or any other places where you can’t smoke; they will need something to take the edge off. Smokers can suck on a Nicodrop during a movie and smoke a cig right after without having to worry about any side effects.

Greenbaron update

Nicodrops, Inc. (PK: NCDP)

The Green Baron Report has been expecting Nicodrops to make another nice move higher in the near term, but the stock has failed to maintain momentum and the lack of supportive news has not helped. NCDP took a slight move down to just about a penny per share when it was learned that Nicodrops increased its authorized shares from one billion to two billion.

We have been told that the increase in authorized has been done to put the Company in a position to make at least one acquisition that will compliment its existing line of Nicodrops products. There are currently about 860 million shares issued and outstanding that Nicodrops is nearing its ceiling of one billion authorized shares.

The Green Baron Report is not at liberty to discuss developments in the GlaxoSmithKline lawsuit or update its progress with sales of Nicodrops. However, we remain confident that the Company is doing everything in its power to build a successful operation and move forward for the benefit of its shareholders. We still believe NCDP stock at this level is a great value, and we hope to be able to provide significantly more substantial and concrete news in our next update.

Nicodrops, Inc. (PK: NCDP)

Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!

About a month ago, The Green Baron Report admits it prematurely thought Nicodrops was ready for a strong, sustained move north. Although we have repeatedly stated that we think accumulation of NCDP at or just above a penny per share is ideal, a move much higher was expected by now. The Company has not delivered any news lately that we can sink our teeth in to.

As we approach the coming annual Indy 500 over the Memorial Day Weekend, the race cars are not the only fast movers we expect to see. All indications point that Nicodrops is nearing a major advertising campaign that will signal a new stage for the Company. There are many developments that are long overdue, and The Green Baron Report believes we are finally nearing the green flag.

We believe members not currently in NCDP should look for a position while the stock is trading below .015 per share. At yesterday’s close, NCDP shares could still be purchased for only .012 per share. The Green Baron Report anticipates that we will have a lengthy interview with Mr. Joel Appel available some time next week. Although the interview has not been taped, we believe the content will be sure to excite those interested. We think the sustained move up in NCDP we have been anticipating is finally about to start. Stay tuned!

NCDP has changed the main ingredients in Nicødrops!

Eleuthero, St. John's Wort & Valerian, No more Ginseng.
http://www.nicodrops.com/nicodrops_formula.php

Eleuthero belongs to the Araliaceae family and is a distant relative of Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng). Also known commonly as touch-me-not and devil’s shrub, eleuthero has been most frequently nicknamed Siberian ginseng in this country. Eleuthero is native to the Taiga region of the Far East (southeastern part of Russia, northern China, Korea, and Japan). The root and the rhizomes (underground stem) are used medicinally.

I don’t know if the change in ingredients is going to do anything positive for this company. There are a lot of people who don’t understand herbal products. And they may look at this as a bad thing.
 
Posted by Northerlights#5 on :
 
Curb Kid, have you tried Nicodrops, what is there to understand, it is a lozenge you suck on when you can't have a cig. Nicodrops are not sold in the herbal section; they are sold right next to Smoke Away and NicoDerm for 1/3 the price.

The Green Baron Report-
Nicodrops (PK: NCDP)

A national advertising campaign announced back on Tuesday, April 12 is ready to begin. At press time, we did not have the exact papers and dates that the ads will run, but we are told that they will begin this week. The Green Baron Report will try to provide another update within days that has more precise details.

The dismissal of the lawsuit filed by GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare announced last week was welcome news. Although NCDP stock has had somewhat of a muted upside response, we are hoping that perhaps further store placements and orders for product will garner more confidence from investors. We still plan to interview Mr. Joel Appel of the Company very soon, and we think his enthusiasm over the future of Nicodrops will carry a great deal of weight. At this point, we think Nicodrops remains a great buy on any weakness.
 
Posted by corndo on :
 
I went to Walgreens and found them on the shelves. They took up only five percent of the space that all the other smoking cessation products utilized!! [Smile] Thankfully, I believe this will change once national advertising gets underway.
Thing about the National Enquirer: it's not cheap to advertise in the NE. I hope that that the dismissed lawsuit hasn't dampened there financial ability to aggressively advertise. Any one know about advertising on the national level?
Also: has anyone heard about the golden ring of supply: a Wal-Mart distribution contract?
This would be HUGE.

Nicodrops Announces Second Order With Walgreen Co.
Wednesday June 1, 9:00 am ET

Been smoking 45 yrs and have tried everything on the market. Started
using Nicodrops yesterday. To me it seems to reduce the craving as
much as anything else on the market and it calms the nerves. No bad
taste and throat discomfort like the nicotine gum. Nice minty herbal taste.
No nicotine side effects. But it's like all the rest of the treatments. It
want stop you from smoking without some will power and I have not
reached that point yet. If this product don't sell it will be for lack of PR.
Not pumping. My honest opinion and I do own shares.

Nicodrops Announces Further Plans For National Advertising Campaign
June 07, 2005 09:15:15 (ET)

LA MESA, Calif., Jun 7, 2005 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- Nicodrops, Inc. (Pink Sheets:NCDP), developer of the drug-free, non-nicotine smoking alternative, herbal dietary supplement, LOZENGE(i), today announced it is adding two more national magazines to its advertising efforts building awareness for its product. The national magazines with circulation over 1.5 million readers each, First For Women and Woman's World, will feature ads for Nicodrops in upcoming issues set to hit newsstands in mid-to late June. The ad in The National Enquirer is expected to hit shortly as well. Each of the ads will include a toll-free number to order the product. The ad will state "available at Walgreens," which carries Nicodrops in all 4,700-plus stores.

"Our marketing efforts are designed to generate revenues so we can expand into other markets throughout the world and build a respectable market share for our product," said Christopher Calpito, president and CEO of Nicodrops, Inc. "We see print advertising as an excellent vehicle for establishing ourselves with specific groups of consumers. All three of these publications fit that bill."

Woman's World was established in 1981 as a weekly woman's service and entertainment magazine. It has a current circulation of about 1.5 million readers mainly focused on today's active woman. In addition, First For Women has a circulation of more than 1.5 million readers as well and is designed for today's busy, multidimensional woman regarding her real-life needs, concerns and interests as she seeks to balance home, family and career without neglecting her own needs.

"Both First For Women and Woman's World magazines have sizable readerships who are very loyal to the brands advertised in each of them so we are expecting to capitalize on that fact," said Joel Appel, Director of Marketing and Sales for Nicodrops, Inc. "We believe the print advertising we have secured will be very cost effective for us giving us substantial value when it comes to our return on investment. Nicodrops is certainly interested in other publications and opportunities for broadcast ads as well."

I personally think that if the PR is done correctly and they do not dilute the stock and the product is all they say it is, we could be sitting on a nice profit. Magazines are the first step and if and when they turn a substancial profit then the big step to National TV would bring this company over the top big time. PR in worldwide magazines would be another big step since the smoking problem is far more severe in other parts of the world. Just think how many smokers there are in the world and how many want to quit. Nicodrops is a lot less expensive and safer than the nicotine lozengens. I think this will be a slow rising stock and be willing to be in it for the long haul. JMHO

greenbaron update

Nicodrops (PK: NCDP)

PR issued on Tuesday, June 7: Nicodrops Announces Further Plans For National Advertising Campaign

One of these days Nicodrops might actually make a press release that the whole world doesn’t know about before it finally hits the tape. Shareholders remain concerned that a recent increase in the authorized shares outstanding will come back to haunt the offer side of the stock forever. We share the concern and have demanded the Company to go on record and further explain its motives for the increase, its plans for product distribution, and a general update concerning all the issues.

The Green Baron Report is actively trying to arrange a webcast with the company. We are hopeful that we will finally be able to complete a thorough question and answer session very soon. The shareholders deserve some answers and we are doing everything in our power to get them for you. The Green Baron Report really likes the potential of Nicodrops, but the Company needs to add structure to its management. We are confident in the abilities of Mr. Joel Appel, and we hope that the Company will grant him the office of CEO and set him free to make Nicodrops a success.

The news coming from Nicodrops over the past several weeks has been solid. The follow through with ad placements in the press release from Tuesday is confirmation that the Company is legitimately trying to spread the word about Nicodrops throughout the country. The Green Baron Report will continue to monitor NCDP closely, and we will notify all members as soon as we have more information regarding a webcast.

B: Nicodrops Featured in Upcoming In-Store Sales Circular From Walgreens Circular to Promote Nicodrops Product in More Than 4,700 Walgreen Locations Coast to Coast ( PRIMEZONE )

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


LA MESA, Calif., Jun 10, 2005 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- Nicodrops, Inc. (Pink
Sheets:NCDP), developer of the drug-free, non-nicotine smoking alternative,
herbal dietary supplement, LOZENGE(i), today announced it will be featured in an
upcoming in-store sales circular from Walgreens. The in-store sales circular is
a weekly promotional piece specifically promoting a number of the better selling
products sold at the more than 4,700 Walgreens locations. Nicodrops will be
featured in June 12-18 circular at Walgreens. Nicodrops is currently retailing
at Walgreens for $9.99. In addition, the Nicodrops ad scheduled to appear in The
National Enquirer can be found in the June 20th, 2005 issue on sale NOW and can
be seen on page 21.

"Our relationship with the good folks at Walgreens continues to blossom with us
being featured as one of the products in their weekly in-store promotional piece
for customers," said Christopher Calpito, president and CEO of Nicodrops, Inc.
"We are intent on creating in-store traffic at all Walgreens locations and know
that will benefit our sales of Nicodrops even further."

Calpito said the company is continuing to look at ways to promote the benefit of
Nicodrops through a variety of advertising channels. Walgreens has already
scheduled another Nicodrops circular for the back to school period (Early
September) in which they will advertise Nicodrops at a reduced price.

Nicodrops (PK: NCDP)

Yesterday, The Green Baron Report was able to finally secure an interview with Nicodrops National Sales Director Mr. Joel Appel. The webcast will be made available at some point next week, and we will do our best to address concerns that the shareholders have expressed to us as well as get a solid update about how well Nicodrops are selling right now.

In conversations yesterday with company representatives, The Green Baron Report communicated its thoughts and concerns openly. In short, we feel that Nicodrops is once again headed in the right direction and we are hoping that our suggestions will be implemented. We were wrong to suggest that Joel Appel should take over as CEO at this time, as current founder and CEO Chris Calpito is more than capable of handling his post. We just thought Mr. Appel’s veteran experience in the industry would lend more power to the product at trade shows and presentations if he were given this title.

Nicodrops will be included in the Walgreens circular ad this weekend. Be on watch to see Nicodrops advertised at the nation’s largest drugstore chain.

Sure enough, Nicodrops is being advertised. Now the fun part. Anyone who has fought addiction knows what that means. When the grip of addiction lets you go, it can be a pretty scary thing. Just popped a Nicodrop. Starting to feel the pains of withdrawls take affect. You know, getting angry, edgy, pissed off. Bring it on.

Well I tried one, ran to Walgreens and got some. Good news is, it is surrounded by all the high dollar nicotine gums patches and what not.

Nicodrops really stands out at 9.99 where the others are 20 dollars and more. One was 65 bucks ouch.. I would rather try something at 9.99 vs 20 to 65..

The bad news they don't taste all that great. I would say on a scale of 1 to 10 I would give it a 5.

I have never used nicotine gum or anything so not sure how it compares.
 
Posted by kottercracks on :
 
I thought they taste pretty good. I still had withdrawls when I stopped using Skoal. The drops definitely helped. The thing I don't like about the nicorette is that your still using nicotine....and so your still hooked on nicotine.
 
Posted by Northerlights#5 on :
 
Runamuck have you tried any of the other anti-nicotine products. Nicodrops are by far the best tasting. At first I thought they were a little weird tasting but now I like the taste. But we all know it is not the taste that is the real key here, it is if they really work. I have many friends who use them in the situations when they can’t smoke and 1 friend who quit smoking using Nicodrops.

Other Updates and Alerts

Nicodrops, Inc. (NCDP)

Webcast Alert: Interview with Director of Sales Joel Appel will be Available on Tuesday, June 21

The sideways trading on Nicodrops at just above a penny despite positive press releases is disconcerting to say the least. Our frustrations have been made apparent through several recent updates. As promised in our update last week, we were finally able to complete an interview with National Sales Director Mr. Joel Appel and will make it available early next week. We are encouraged that Mr. Appel has made himself available to give investors an update on Nicodrops.

The Green Baron Report has successfully predicted strong moves up in Nicodrops stock several times, but the rallies have typically been short spikes and never as high as we had hoped. We still maintain that Nicodrops has the potential to be a huge seller in the retail market and has only begun to be noticed in the public. Nicodrops provides a very cost effective, drug free non nicotine product which helps reduce the stress associated with not smoking. A national advertising campaign that involves ads in The National Enquirer and Women’s World are still expected shortly.

We suggest that members who currently hold positions in Nicodrops to carefully listen to the webcast that will be made available on Tuesday. We hope our interview will provide a clearer picture of what to expect from the Company. The stock itself has not closed higher on volume of at least 10 million shares traded in one day so we remain cautious over booking new positions in NCDP even at these prices.

Why? There has already been sufficient good news to make this PPS rise, but instead it has fallen. Unless this is being diluted or shorted, what is holding the PPS down? We already have stores carrying the product, sales are happening, there has to be a profit here somewhere, albeit a small one.
So what's the holdup?

The webcast didn't mention anything we didn't already know (imo). There was no mention of the 1,000,000,000 added shares in this webcast either (unless i missed it). Seems diluted. Staring to think it may be a bunch of BS.

Why? There has already been sufficient good news to make this PPS rise, but instead it has fallen. Unless this is being diluted or shorted, what is holding the PPS down? We already have stores carrying the product, sales are happening, there has to be a profit here somewhere, albeit a small one.
So what's the holdup?

consumer confidence? or lack thereof?

Many people have said it works. That's why I cant understand why the price is going down. They have to be selling a lot of these things if you read the PRs that have come out.
There is nothing but good news, but the price keeps dropping. IMO, either somebody is shorting it or there are more shares being dumped on the market (dilution).

walgreens seems to be happy with them. Joel Appel in his webcast said "price will take care of itself" when they get major distributors besides walgreens on board. He is meeting with CVS in july regards their being distributors. He says it depends on walgreens sales (which have already placed a second order btw). More magazine ads coming soon and looking to bring europeans on board etc. Imo, think they need to start announcing some sales/revenues soon and get off the pk sheets to reverse course here.

One thing to keep in mind guys...this thing held for 2-3 months above current price through 1.lawsuit 2.R/S talks 3.no real news 4.no idea of numbers Etc.

I seen the ad in Walgreens and if they are running them in a circular they must have done very well in the inital trial phase.
I will be avg down a little in next couple days to get down to rock bottom pricing and not worried if it takes till jan 06 but as i have said, all ya gotta do is get out in the market and get some talk and they have the biggest boys on the block yelling out thier name!!

Does anyone have the email address to reach Nicodrop's head office? I tried to contact them by email through their website but it didn't work. I wanted to inform the CEO that on July 1, 2005 the entire California state prison industry has banned smoking for all inmates and guards(about 100,000 smokers). This is a great opportunity for Nicodrops to sell their much needed product in the jails since Nicotine gum is banned because it can be used to jam locks. Also I wanted to suggest they sell nicodrops as an antistress lozage that could be found in the vitamin section of the store. With this approach they could also sell their product to nonsmokers. Also, some European countries are starting a national antismoking campaign and nicodrops could be sold overseas too. These are all great opportunities that Nicodrops can't afford to miss out on. Could Someone please forward this message to the CEO. I will continue to try and reach him. We need something tangible to drive up this stock price. Thanks.

I've asked Shopper's Drug Mart and Wal-mart to carry it, let's see what happens...the more requests the better so I am asking at least once a week...hehe...

kingSu great job contacting retailers and requesting they carry Nicodrops. That’s great you have contacted Shopper's Drug Mart and Wal-mart, I have contacted over a hundred retailers requesting they carry Nicodrops. There is a post on the RB NCDP thread that has emails for all the top retailers in North America.

NCDP retailer email list-

Many NCDP shareholders on the RB threat have emailed many retailers over the last 2 weeks.

What's the secret herb? Guesses?

And why is it banned in the US?
 
Posted by kottercracks on :
 
not sure they make this version anymore....but i believe they used to make a version with the herb Lobelia in it. Not sure why they can't sell it in the US.

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 formulaton.)

No response from the company yet concerning new nicodrops sales or new contracts since I emailed them and also mailed them a letter on 7/6/05. Does anyone have any information on this company's sales or their total debt. I don't think I can handle another CMKX. But at least this company has a product for sale in the stores.
 
Posted by Northerlights#5 on :
 
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 could be wrong, but wasn't chris in the airline business and that's how he came up with the idea for nicodrops.....to help the air travelers curb their craving for a smoke while flying.....seems the airlines would be the first place they would market.......heck, sell them to the airline company's and they could pass them out to passengers during flight....you know....after they serve the mid flight lunch......

passenger: "ahhh that was a good lunch....darn, i wish i had a smoke, but there is no smoking on the plane.."

flight attendent: "would you like an all natural nicodrop sir/mam.."

passenger: (sucking on the drop)..."..ahhh thank you...mmmmm....much better...." ;-)

TalonSin-

NCDP makes 60% profit on every wholesale box of Nicodrops they sell; the wholesale price is $5.

60% of $5 is $3.

Walgreens has had two 50,000 box orders for a total of 100,000 boxes.

100,000 boxes times $3 = $300,000.

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?

The quote below is from a NCDP PR from December 12, 2004; do you notice the part about a 60% or higher profit margin.
Link- http://biz.yahoo.com/pz/041216/69715.html

“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,”

NCDP charges $5 wholesale for 1 box of Nicodrops, you can contact Walgreens and ask them but I don’t think you will get a reply.

u do the math....
 
Posted by Northerlights#5 on :
 
weallwantogetrich I did the math and it looks good!!!

In April NCDP had over $250,000 in sales, which was all from just one Walgreens order. Walgreens has already placed a second order which puts the NCDP Walgreens account at $500,000 in sales for 2005. At 60% profit margin that is $300,000 from just 2 Walgreens orders. This company only has room to grow and there are many more retailers out there that would place orders the same size or bigger then Walgreens, we just have to wait until NCDP starts to meet with them later this year and the beginning of 2006.

Most retailers only reconsider there anti-smoking inventory once or twice a year. They have a set date and every year on that date they look at all the new anti-smoking products and meet with wholesalers and manufactures. When NCDP contacts a company like Rite-Aid they set up a meeting but the meeting is on Rite-Aid’s terms; Rite-Aid looks at there calendar and sets up the meeting, the only problem is that meeting might not be for 6 months. Retailers don’t meet at random with wholesalers; they follow there calendar and stick with it.

The ad campaign begins this week in Ladies Home Journal, Woman’s World & The National Enquirer. Then the week of the 26th NCDP is also running an ad in In-Touch magazine. The first of the three ads in USA Today are scheduled to run August 29th, then September 5th & 12th. The third issue of USA Today’s coupon ad will coincide with an in-store Walgreens circular offering Nicodrops at a reduced price.

If you listen to the Appel’s interview he talks about NCDP running ads during the back to school period and he addressed other issues about NCDP like how they plan to add another product to there line by 2006. Appel also talks about how he plans to meet with more retailers in the upcoming months and that Chris is strongly pursuing overseas distribution.

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.

Long line at the check out?j/k

NCDP has a good product, as soon as you go into Wallgreens you see the product.I mean, wow, how many stores do they have? I've noticed they try to put there locations in the highest traffic areas.At least in the cities I've been.I think it'll come... eventually.Volume's starting to pick up too I think.

Nice upticks this morning but the gap between bid and ask is bad...hard to get volume like that.

The Nicødrops ad in The National Enquirer is on 62 on the left hand side, it has the $2 mail in rebate, across the top it states “A SMOKING ALTERNATIVE” and they have a picture of the box instead of the man and lady. The new ad is way better then the old ad that ran in The National Enquirer back in June. The ad is next to an article about Wayne Newton owing $1.8 million in back taxes.

The Nicødrops ad in Ladies Home Journal is totally different then any of the NCDP ads in the past, it is on page 95. Ladies Home Journal has a page called “Fabulous Fall Finds, Start the season off right with…” There are 6 products that share the page, Nicodrops is the first product out of the 6, it has a picture of the box and a short description of Nicødrops.

I picked up the newest edition of In Touch magazine, dated Sept. 5, with the title “JEN’S WARNING TO ANGELINA”. The Nicødrops ad is on page 95 on the right hand side, it looks the same as that ad that ran in the National Inquirer except they moved some of the stuff around, but all the words and pictures are the same, it also has the $2 mail-in rebate.

Page 94 and 95 are “Best of the Week”, which is the upcoming TV, CD and Movies for this week. They talk about the New Show “Prison Break”, New to DVD “Monster-In-Law”, New to CD “KanYeWest”, New Movie “The Transporter 2”, What to Watch this week on TV, and then there is the Nicødrops ad.

I picked up today’s edition of USA Today, the Nicødrops ad is on page A8 and takes up 1/4 of the page. The ad is in black and white, has a picture of the box, the $2 mail-in rebate & a description of Nicødrops. Page A8 is World News with the top story “Constitution draft fails to satisfy all”. The ad is 5.5” wide by 10” tall and the picture of the Nicodrops box is 4”x4”. I was not expecting the ad to be this big or in the front with all the top news stories. NCDP put the stock symbol at the bottom of the ad and the phone number to The Cervelle Group along with NCPD’s website.
 
Posted by cronic1342 on :
 
On the front page of USA Today on the right hand side they have the top stores of the day and where you can find them. The first story they list is the “Iraqi charter awaits vote” news story witch is on page A8 directly above the Nicødrops ad. Any readers who are interested in the Iraq Constitution would turn to page A8 and see the Nicødrops ad.

I wonder why GSK did not waste any money or time suing Nicobrevin or NicoBlock, both have the word Nico and do not contain any nicotine and claim to help smokers quit. I bet when GSK did there test on the competitors these two products just did not match up to there product, but then when Nicodrops hit the market GSK got worried and sued them over there name and claims. The only reason GSK would waste there money and time is if Nicodrops worked better then there product, does anyone come to the same conclusion.

I cannot believe the pps has held this steady for this long with all the sells!

I have T&S's up everyday and cant remember the last time I seen a buy. I'm wanting to load up but obviously i want to do it at much much cheaper prices to get my avg down. This is just flat out a long term play that I dont even think is there and one day it will pay off or go away!

I agree wholeheartedly. However, it seems that it is time for the company to tell us what is happening, not only with new contracts, but sales and profit figures so far. No news is definitely not good news. NCDP has been silent except for the advertisements, it is time for them to tell us if the ads are doing any good. We can only assume sales are up, but IMO the company has to TELL us that, and bring us up to speed on what is happening. Otherwise, the pps will NEVER move, either way.

NCDP had the wrong date for their second Nicodrops ad in USA TODAY, the ad is running in the September 6th issue instead of the 5th. USA TODAY had a special Monday/Weekend Hurricane edition; it was not there usual format for the Monday edition of the paper so I think they moved NCDP to Tuesday.

The Nicodrops ad is on page 13A on the bottom right had side. It is the same ad that ran in last weeks USA TODAY.

not low enough!!!! This is one to buy when everyone is sleeping like now but I'm waiting A LITTLE longer before i avg down.Come to pappa!!

ed19363 why do you think the ad would move the PPS, the ad is supposed to move product, not the stock price.
 
Posted by ed19363 on :
 
I dont think the ad will move the price.
But some info on new contracts, sales to this point, updated plans, that might move it.
So what is the holdup? We havent had a meaningful PR in a long time. We're overdue.

The Nicodrops USA TODAY ad is on page 2B; section B is the Money/Business section of the paper. It is the same ad that ran in the last 2 USA TODAY’S.

This is one of my worst stocks. I have given it a long time to take off and still no ignition. Guess this would be the time to load up ,more to bring cost down

if your trying to quit smoking and are thinking about trying nicodrops, you may want to do yourself a favor and buy a big bag of peppermints instead (jmho)

Does anyone have contact with the company to find out why the sudden stop of the PRs?? Seems that this thing would move if there were any news about sales or new contracts. It also seems that they have completely forgotten the stockholders.

looks like joel apple couldn't even save this one
 
Posted by kottercracks on :
 
seems chris and joel have given up on this one.........you would think they could at least put out a PR as a courtesy to the stockholders

Glad i found this bulletin board. I am currently using Nicodrops to stop smoking (2 1/2 weeks, so far so good). My sister found out about Nicodrops through the local Walgreens circular and bought me a box. Being a part time investor, I then decided to find out whether Nicodrops were being sold on the public stock market and came across this bulletin board. Read through some of the posts and looked up the stock symbol NCDP. I was unable to find any financial sales and profit sheets on the company however, I am keeping an eye on it. It's a good product, but from the sound of the people on this board, the stock has yet to live up to it's potential.

By the way, lots of good posts and very good research done on this NCDP thread.

good point 'potential investor'
 
Posted by kottercracks on :
 
Yes, but u have to admit some kind of news from NCDP would be nice.
 
Posted by kottercracks on :
 
at least to let share holders know they have not given up

I have been in email contact with Chris; he is working hard and selling Nicodrops. The big deals with retailers are not going to come until the last couple months of 2005 and the first 6 months of 2006. Potential_Investor and others have only said good things about NCDP’s Product Nicodrops and that is what counts over the long haul. We are all down but the company has not released any meaningful PR’s since April so I am not worried, if NCDP was putting out PR’s and the price was still down here I would get worried. We have not heard anything about the Asian, European & Canadian markers, and when we start to get a steady stream of PR’s the stock will rebound strongly.
