Yeah, I know there's a thread. Just posting the news.
Billy Martin's New Poker Hand Just Got Bigger Mar 7, 2006 10:00:00 AM HOLLYWOOD, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/07/06 -- "From Wild Bill Hickok to Bret Maverick and Amarillo Slim, some of the best dressed poker players on the planet came out of the wild, wild west."
And according to Doug Newton, CEO of Billy Martin's USA, Inc. (OTC: BLYM), the 27 year old western-lifestyle brand, "We're going all in and keeping the tradition alive by offering a full house of the best looking men's and women's poker apparel and accessories on the market today.
"Good news is we've just created a joint-venture agreement with the executive producers of the feature length movie 'All In' -- starring Dominique Swain, Michael Madsen, James Russo, and Academy Award winning actor, Louis Gossett, Jr. -- to do a major cross-promotional marketing campaign that should bring in a handsome pot for all our respective concerns."
Besides Billy Martin's, Newton said "The movie's other strategic alliances are Fender Guitar and Party Poker, the billion dollar on-line gaming concern. The promotional tie-ins between all parties are not only synergistic, but could prove to be extremely beneficial."
According to executive producers Richard and Patricia Goulding, "Party Poker may be sponsoring up to 1000 players at this year's World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. With the kind of money that will be at the table, Party Poker will want their players to look like a million bucks. That's why we went to Billy Martin's to put the type of clothing together to make the Party Poker Players look and feel as rich as they may become!"
Newton said, "With poker growing today at lightening speed -- among both men and women of all ages -- the huge poker apparel market is just waiting to be tapped, and we plan on tapping it big. That's a lot of chips for Billy Martin's."

The only thing we seen from this company since the CEO big speech is advertising. He did his interview then sold off stock and we have not heard any thing positive since. Just my opinion, and i am still in for awhile longer. I thought this company had promise at one point.

In at .0005. The "All In" poker movie should be coming out this summer, but I can't find a firm date anywhere... the movie will be featuring Billy Martin's clothing, hopefully advertisement surrounding the movie will create some buzz for BLYM. I don't necessarily expect this to start moving real soon, but when it does in a few months I'm hoping it'll go gangbusters! yee haw!

Hi, just wanted to shout out again about the bargain prices for this stock right now. If you don't mind waiting a couple months potentially, I really think this will generate interest in the May-July timeframe. IMO at least a double with chance for more.
