Incredible. every time I look at that DD packet with all the proof of Marani being sponsors to great events and getting their name out there, there is no doubt in my mind that this is real and for anyone calling it a sham i'd advise to look at how Marani is developing as a company instead of looking at the charts, pps, and past regressions.
They're trying to handle their brand in the states and are doing a great job IMO, selling liquor is a cut throat business and being carried in Costco and with plans of expansion is one of the reasons why I believe Marani will succeed in California.
Recently there has been an increase in dilution, even some claim CD's being dumped, it is up to you to decide whether the company will use these funds wisely to promote, distribute, and continue business operations, but what I can tell you is that looking at Belgian's DD packet every single thing that has been PR'd besides the international contracts, brandy, and wine, has been fulfilled.
I will admit most of us are here for those said international contracts, and Marani's response is October for Brazil and that everything is on schedule. We cannot discredit her because October IS NOT HERE yet, she has not said anything about delays on Brazil, and she MUST know that any delays with Brazil will be catastrophic.
Anything else is pure speculation and an intent to test your patience.
Most of us here know the O/S is about 150 million away from the A/S, (550 O/S, 700 A/S) the company is in a critical point where there isn't much room/money in the SS to operate their business.
This critical point is reflected in the PPS as well(chart anyone?), we are 1 1/2 months away from October. We only NEED to ship to Brazil and obtain contract revenues (50% letter of credit), expand to more stores in Costco, increase brand image through the advertisements, to truly create business momentum going forward. All of that is in NEAR future, HOLD on to your shares and KNOW what you own!!!
In regards to Dominican Republic we cannot refer back to the PR stating that Dominican Republic would ship first quarter of 2014 because it was corrected by Margrit herself on Money TV, stating that all efforts were to be focused on California as the 8th largest economy in the world (remember that one?).
IMO people are getting their memories skewed and are blinded by all the RED days, frustration, and relentless manipulation.
I'm only trying to say take a step back, manage your risk and remind yourself why you bought this ticker in the first place.
The bottom line is whether you are a trader or investor you do not like seeing the PPS regress and decline as it has thus far. I agree with that and it doesn't help investor sentiment when there are opinions being thrown around as evidence as to one's own speculative theories on what is going to happen with this company. (mine included)
My perspective is to look at the company's progression and even though that may not be tied to the PPS right now it is because we, as investors, create the market. We are in a time where the company hasn't showed the growth from a numbers stand point, but let me tell you when the fiscal report comes out(due oct. 1) it will be the first time Marani's financials will start to reflect the progress they have made so far. Remember, there is a 20,000,000 tax carry forward for future taxable income, that will come up handy one day.. soon.
Once the company shows strength financially and starts to cover costs and become profitable, the market will evaluate MRIB properly IMO that day will come for those who stick around long enough.
I'm sure everyone knows this but in the alcohol business you can't just run around cold calling and ringing doorbells asking people to buy your liquor. Nor can you simply mass market your liquor as being the cheapest and best value and expect to grow into a profitable respectable business.
In the liquor industry it takes a Brand to establish sales, MRIB must create a brand, expand distribution, market their brand, and grow their operations all at once in order to be successful, you can't focus just on one at a time.
All of this has been occurring ever since its relaunch August 2013, take a hard look back and take a good look in the not too distant future of what's to come. I see progression, back that up with financials, a great product, and you have the making of a great business.
