Greg, you must agree with me that any comparison to BooKoo is a huge stretch. We can both name more than a few great beverage guys that made a killing and then went on to bomb. I agree that past success is a good indication of future success. But I aint investing my pesos in BooKoo! I will invest in OIL FUTURES!

Huntin1, can't say yet....little bird is still on the nest............

The stock is in the toilet and I would not risk a cent in BooKoo. If the stock was a penny I would consider it too much. Nothing is going to make BooKoo cool and sell nationwide it seems to have run its course.

Why are you guys so fixated on history. Like I said, its not where they have been but where they are going.
BooKoo has changed their name and their Upper management. Sure I understand that not all drinks are going to be a success but I think these guys have a great shot at making some solid gains based on the expereince they have brought in.

It is my opinion that BooKoo, out of all the recognized brands out there except maybe Bawls, has the best chance to be a real contender to the current top 3 brands in the next 5 years.
Yeah, I said it!!!!
When I say top 3 I mean of what I consider Independents, RB, Monster, RockStar, not the cooked up shoved down your throat brands such as Full Throttle, AMP, and Sobe offerings that have Huge numbers due to their "automatic" distribution points.

Oh Yeah, If you invest in Oil futures I suggest you sell short. If the democrats allow for a vote to open up off shore driliing (never mind ANWR right now) then the increase in speculation will sputter and the price will come down. (assuming the vote will allow drilling, which looks to be a lock)

I have to agree with Scum. I tried all 3 flavors and they were solid. Sure a great product doesn't always translate into success, but it is a start.

You guys are missing the point. Who is going to buy BooKoo and why? Guys are not going to walk around with a Bookoo in their hand and it does not appeal to girls... sales are way way down. You need to stop and ask yourself who is going to buy this stuff..... who is it for ?

Default come on

There are much worse names than Boo Koo out there. Deep Throat! I would not be caught dead with that one. Even Red Bull. Really it is a made name but if it was just released would the name make or break it?
