Seriously...amen.  He had no business here.  Pumping like an idiot is one thing, but replying to yourself under different aliases like that is completely immoral.

I feel like there aren't many honest, worthwhile message boards on the internet for this purpose.  No need for that cancer to ruin it..

RETURNING TO PROFITABILITY...INSIDER BUYING...MULTI-BAGGER     

TARGET: $3+ NEXT SUMMER.......ONLY 5M SHARE FLOAT..

- BLUE's NEW CEO HAS ESTABLISHED AND IS EXECUTING AN AGGRESSIVE RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM AIMED AT RETURNING THE COMPANY TO PROFITABILITY AND STEADY GROWTH:

* STAFF REDUCTIONS AIMED AT SAVING $700K/QUARTER OR 12c/SH/YR.....GUIDANCE CALLS FOR RETURN TO PROFITABILITY THIS QUARTER

* FOCUS on ANTIK DENIM, TAVERNITY SO, and YANUK FASHION JEANS

* SIGNED DEALS TO SELL ITS JEANS AT MACY's, DILLARDS, AND MANY OTHER HIGH END FASHION STORES

- RECENTLY RECEIVER ALMOST $3M FROM IRS SHORING UP ITS BALANCE SHEET

- COMPETITOR TRLG UP HUGE TODAY ON STRONG EARNINGS/HEALTH OF SECTOR

....AN INDUSTRY ANALYST WROTE THIS ABOUT BLUE TURNAROUND LAST MONTH:

?We like Glenn a lot. He has turnaround experience and he is a very bottom-line, no-nonsense kind of guy. If anyone can turn this company, he can,? said Beder.

To increase sales, Palmer has decided to focus on growing Antik Denim?Blue Holdings? largest business?in the department store channel, rather than in the brand?s customary high-end specialty store base. For spring ?08, Antik Denim will begin selling at Macy?s East and Dillard?s doors for the first time. Palmer believes the Macy?s business will reach $5 million within a year. The jeans will be priced from $158 to $198 at retail, down from the $200 to over $300 that were the former retail prices.

?The whole premium market has come down, and you need to be priced according to the market you?re retailing in,? pointed out Palmer.

While the move may alienate tastemaking specialty boutiques, Beder believes it?s a smart initiative considering Blue Holdings? financial position. ?Right now is not the time for management to overlook any potential revenue-generating opportunities,? he said.

Additionally, Palmer is refocusing Antik Denim and Taverniti So on core products and moving away from the fashion-heavy looks the brands were known for. The company is also implementing EDI replenishment systems for its core styles at department stores.

To that same end, Blue Holdings is relaunching its Yanuk brand as a non-premium denim and sportswear range for fall ?08, with retail prices ranging from $89 to $125. The company hopes to reach sales of $3 million to $4 million in the first season.

The company?s overseas sales have mirrored weakness domestically, with international sales contributing 20.9 percent of revenue in the first three quarters of 2007, versus 30 percent a year ago. To jump-start that business, the company recently signed a new three-year Canada license for Antik Denim, is in negotiations for a Japan license for Yanuk, and is close to announcing deals for Taverniti So in England, the Far East and the Middle East, according to Palmer.

To cut costs, Blue Holdings has eliminated $2.4 million in annual payroll expenses, or over 35 jobs, since Palmer joined the company. ?The cuts came from across the company. We are right-sizing; there was a lot of fat,? he noted bluntly.

The company also shuttered its nascent Life & Death brand and is reexamining its deal to launch a label with Will.i.am of the music group Black Eyed Peas. However, the company has still not decided whether or not to close its two freestanding stores in L.A. and San Francisco, as it previously announced it would.

Despite the daunting challenges facing Blue Holdings, Palmer is confident the company can regain its footing. Its top-priced Taverniti So line continues to sell well at retailers like Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, H. Lorenzo and Atrium, he noted

ABOUT BLUE:

Blue Holdings, Inc., through its subsidiaries, engages in the design, development, marketing, and distribution of fashion jeans, apparel, and accessories for women, men, and children.

alexx-

I thought you were done with this board because of all the accusations.  Just because you have a new nick doesn't mean we don't know who you are.

Nobody else has the style of picking a low float POS stock and writing a bunch of bullet points about their improving financial situation.  We know its you.

I followed one of your picks PDEX as a naive young trader.  Once you got your pump, you were gone.  I'd ask you questions (I really was a complete moron) and you'd never respond. 

So this is just to warn people, this guy is a pumper.  NTWK did work out for him though..

edit: here is the link to the PDEX thread. He congratulates himself about how he is "learning from the best" (from himself.)  This just really aggravates me and I hate to be such a weiner about it but it drives me crazy!  Play his stocks if you don't want to know when to get out and if you want to be part of some kind of scam.  pang you are a piece of trash, karma will get you.

Just my thoughts....  it's easy for someone start posting here, he only needs different email accounts.  But one thing is true, he get a lot of negative feedback very quickly.   So I think someone who gets -10 is not going to contribute in a positive way to the forum.  That person should be banned.... Again, just my thoughts.

You are UNBELIEVABLE.

Nobody buys your BS.  This is so aggravating.  I hope no sorry sap falls for your crap. 

You are the SCUM OF THE EARTH.  Get off of this board.  Instead of doing this you should just get some brass knuckles and go rob old ladies.  Equally dispicable.

1 YEAR TARGET: $10++

New CEO Glen Palmer presented at ICR Xchange last week. He reiterated that the company has met its 4Q guidance of break even to a small profit. This compares to a 40c/share loss the year ago quarter. 4Q earnings will be reported in mid February. He recently forecasted 1Q 2008 revenues of up to $8.5M and significantly higher profits that in 4Q 2007.

In only 6 months on the job and he's successfully implemented his initial 5-point plan to return the company to profitability and to sustainable revenues growth.

Here is the link for BLUE's presentation:

http://www.corporate-ir.net/ireye/confLobby.zhtml?ticker=BLUE&item_id=1732877

Mr. Palmer joined the company 6 months ago. He came to BLUE from Rafaella Apparell, a division of the huge Cerberus group. As you maight know Cerberus now owns Chrysler, GMAC and many other blue chip companies.

Mr. Palmer wasted no time cutting costs, reducing inventory, improving manufacturing efficiencies, finding more floor space for its products domestically and internationally.

To cut costs, Blue Holdings has eliminated $2.4 million in annual payroll expenses, or over 35 jobs, since CEO Palmer joined the company.

Mr. Palmer decided to focus on its most profitable brands: Antik Denim, Yanuk, Tavernity So, and Faith Connexion.

To increase sales, Mr. Palmer has decided to focus on growing Antik Denim—Blue Holdings' largest business—in the department store channel. Macy's and other major high end department stores now carry this brand.

Mr. Palmer decided to relaunch its Yanuk brand as a non-premium denim and sportswear range for fall '08, with retail prices ranging from $89 to $125. At one time Yanuk used to bring $20M/year in revenues.

For spring '08, Antik Denim will begin selling at Macy's East and Dillard's doors for the first time. Mr. Palmer believes the Macy's business will reach $5 million within a year.

Its top-priced Taverniti So line continues to sell well at retailers like Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, H. Lorenzo and Atrium

Mr. Palmer is also jump-starting its international presence . The company announced last week that it recently signed a new three-year Canada license for Antik Denim, and another huge deal in Japan for Yanuk. He is also close to announcing deals for Taverniti So in England, the Far East and the Middle East.

I believe that by the end of 2008 BLUE will reach about $12M revenues per quarter. With margins in excess of 50% and a lean and mean cost structure BLUE can net 8 - 10c/share/quarter.

With only 4M shares on the float BLUE will easily be a double digit stock in a year.

Competitor TRLG went from 50c 2 years ago to over $20 early this month. TRLG confirmed this week what CEO Palmer sees..... that despite an apparent recession, high-end jeans are selling strongly worldwide

BLUE high-end blue jeans and accessories are favotites of well known celebrities like Paris Hilton, Jessica Simson, Angeline Jolie, Jennifer Lopez, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Anniston, Brad Pitt, Geroge Clooney, Tom Brady, David Beckam and his wife posh...and many others. Because of this, BLUE's jeans and high fashion wears receives favorable and unsolicited press by most fashion magazines in the world.

The largest shareholder, founder and former CEO Paul Guez, owns over 80% of the company's 26.2 outstanding shares. he recently showed his committment to the company by converting $2.6M of his own money into stock to shore up the balance sheet. He continues to buy in the open market. Any shares he sells are in private arrangements mostly to close relatives.

ABOUT BLUE:


Blue Holdings, Inc., (Nasdaq: BLUE) directly and through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Antik Denim, LLC and Taverniti So Jeans, LLC, designs, develops, manufactures, markets, distributes and sells high-end fashion jeans, apparel, and accessories under the "Antik Denim," "Yanuk," "Taverniti So Jeans," and "Faith" brands both in the United States and internationally.

Keep an eye on BLUE $0.7. 4Q 2007 earnings in a few days. The company will present at an investors' conference next week. I think they will have a good story to tell. CEO Glen Palmer is the best in the sector. I see $1.2+ next week
