(OTCBB:KRED) Digs Down Deeper"},"content":{"rendered":"<p> Just a few days ago, KonaRed Corp. (OTCBB:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=KRED\">KRED<\/a>) posed the question- when would it begin the fall. Now, after wiping out half the stock price, there is the question of when it would be a turn for a rebounce. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=KRED\">KRED<\/a> slid down another 16% on Monday, reaching $0.75, on $1.65 million selling volumes. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/KRED0402.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"KRED0402.png\" title=\"KRED0402.png\" width=\"400\" height=\"178\" \/> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=KRED\">KRED<\/a>, not to be confused with larger Hawaiian brewers, is a Nevada incorporated entity, and only Hawaiian in name. The islands are known for having no bottling facilities of their own, thus it is natural that most local-sounding drinks would be exported elsewhere.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/WTER0402.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"WTER0402.png\" title=\"WTER0402.png\" width=\"350\" height=\"156\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the whole, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=KRED\">KRED<\/a> remains a company with a longer-term potential in a constantly growing and rather active industry. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=KRED\">KRED<\/a> secured financing and claimed to expand its distribution network- but the real engine behind the recent growth was a pump campaign combining paper mailers, emails, a landing page and PR extras. All of this lasted until the abrupt ending, when a SeekingAlpha article put an end to the party and send the shares spiraling down with criticism.<\/p>\n<p>Before securing $1 million in a private placement, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=KRED\">KRED<\/a> showed large deficits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Zero cash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>$3,968 total liabilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Zero revenues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>$27K loss for 2012<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While there was talk of rising distribution and potential gains of the novelty drinks, we have not seen the bottom-line, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=KRED\">KRED<\/a> looks like a company just starting. There are limited Amazon.com sales, and the reviews do not look artificially-placed, but all of this is far from adequate to prop up even the corrected market cap of $53 million.<\/p>\n<p>Still, when the dust of the share dumping has settled, many previous pumps recover to achieve short-term gains, based on a bargain price. But in the case of downward pressure so strong, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=KRED\">KRED<\/a> should not be inspiring too big expectations. The ticker recalls the story of The Alkaline Water Co, Inc. (OTCBB:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=WTER\">WTER<\/a>), which also rose with promises of robust distribution of a novelty alkaline water. But once the pumping efforts dwindled, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=WTER\">WTER<\/a> deflated without any support, now leaning toward the 20-cent levels, down 80% from the promotional peak.<\/p>\n<p>The one still holding out is Fresh Healthy Vending International, Inc. (OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=VEND\">VEND<\/a>), which made its glossy brochure campaign in two phases. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=VEND\">VEND<\/a> just started to teeter when the new publicity created a fresh wave of buying and lifted the shares to $4.12- again with the question of when the next inevitable fallout would come.<\/p>\n<p>All three companies mentioned will tout the benefits of healthy novel products- but proving those benefits through a bottom-line and a non-volatile stock is a whole different story. While <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=KRED\">KRED<\/a> may be offering what looks like bargain opportunities, this stock is heavily promoted and as such almost certainly headed for rock-bottom, and a dead-cat bounce at best, so choose your investment accordingly and do your own due diligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just a few days ago, KonaRed Corp.
