The company went public after a reverse merger in September 2014 and just a few short months later, the stock found itself on the receiving end of a massive multi-million dollar paid promotion.<\/p>\n<p>It must be said that the pump for <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=KRED\">KRED<\/a><\/strong> was among the more long-lasting campaigns we&#8217;ve seen which means that the people who timed their entry and exit points well were faced with some healthy profit opportunities. A pump is a pump, however, and, as the more experienced among you probably know, these sort of campaigns, no matter how strong, tend to cause quite a lot of damage. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=KRED\">KRED<\/a><\/strong> could serve as a classic case in point. Sure, the crash wasn&#8217;t as violent as the one experienced by other promoted stocks, but the ticker still dropped from over $1 per share to just $0.06 in a matter of less than a year. <\/p>\n<p>Then, however, at the end of February, a light at the end of the tunnel appeared. A few press releases and a promising-looking revenue figure in the 2014 10-K meant that people were once again ready to trust the stock with their money.<\/p>\n<p>The pumpers tried to wreak havoc with the price at the end of last month, but even that wasn&#8217;t enough to put investors off completely. People knew that the Q2 report is coming and they were expecting some good-looking figures from it.<\/p>\n<p>The report in question came out after the closing bell on Friday and you don&#8217;t really need to open it to see that the figures in it failed to meet investors&#8217; expectations. All you need to do is take a look at the stock performance from yesterday. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=KRED\">KRED<\/a><\/strong> lost more than 17% of its value in a matter of just six and a half hours and it closed the day at less than $0.10 per share for the first time in over five months.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what made investors&#8217; upset:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>cash: $169,390<\/li>\n<li>current assets: $810,751<\/li>\n<li>current liabilities: $845,753<\/li>\n<li>quarterly revenues: $173,622<\/li>\n<li>quarterly net loss: $1,134,964<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We&#8217;ve seen worse financial statements in Pennyland, but investors were expecting more from <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=KRED\">KRED<\/a><\/strong>. They were expecting a more solid cash position and a more stable working capital surplus. What they weren&#8217;t expecting is a <strong>59% revenue drop on a year-over-year basis<\/strong>. Q2 sales were also<strong> 27% down<\/strong> from the ones logged during the first three months of the year.<\/p>\n<p>In light of this, people&#8217;s anger is somewhat understandable, but can <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=KRED\">KRED<\/a><\/strong> finally make amends?<\/p>\n<p>Well, according to the management team, the drop in sales was caused by a decrease in marketing activities which, in turn, stems from capital restraints. Apparently, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=KRED\">KRED<\/a><\/strong> believe that these restraints will be gone soon because they say that they expect more marketing expenses during the second half of the year.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this, they announced earlier today that a certain Kyle Redfield is joining the company as a President and Chief Operating Officer. Apparently, Mr. Redfield has extensive experience in the industry and he has helped many beverage companies get to their feet in the past.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s good news, and judging by early trading today, the market is reacting to it. About twenty minutes after the opening bell, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=KRED\">KRED<\/a><\/strong> is sitting at $0.106 or about 6.5% in the green. But does this mean that you should skip on the due diligence?<\/p>\n<p>Not in the least.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Konared Corp (OTCMKTS:KRED)&#8217;s shareholders are no stranger to disappointment.
