I had just seen the National Register notification that mentioned that "1117-AB77 DEA Analytical Labs and Hemp." and "1117-AB83 DEA Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol Research Expansion.", which were both under the 2022 Cannabis/Cannabinoid Research Expansion Act were being "cancelled" or rather, they were withdrawing the proposed rule(s) around the act. This was all part of working towards rescheduling, making it easier for researchers, etc... But yeah, it's "nothing".... This was published yesterday. Sept. 11... it's not "FUD" unless the Federal Register is now publishing "FUD", and there wasn't really anything about it in the daily thread. I don't read MM, so I couldn't really even guess what they wrote.

The one thing I have found that could give some sort of deadline is the following: "In Sacramento, AB 564 has been moving quickly. The Assembly approved it 74 to 0 on June 2 to roll back the automatic increase in the state’s 15% cannabis excise tax, which jumped to 19% in July. The bill cleared the Senate Appropriations Committee last week and must pass the full Legislature by September 12. Governor Newsom would then have until October 12 to sign it into law, and he has already stated his intention to do so." https://ivn.us/posts/who-will-move-first-cannabis-tax-relief-newsom-or-trump-2025-09-08 Newsom and Trump have beef. Although I don't know how relevant Newsom is to Trump. And I don't know how passed days events affect the MAGA view on rescheduling. So this might be nothing again.

Maybe use it more than a single day to judge... Personally, I find that there are some tasks where GPT4/5 makes me easily 10 times faster. Today I was exploring some correlation models based on combining a few signals. Something like: prompt: take the average of A and B, take signal C, suggest a model that corrects C based on the slow and fast changing components of AB, with independent time delays (all in all, 5 fitting coefficients). I CAN do all that code myself, but I don't think any human can spit working code for the above in about 2 minutes. Add another prompt: plot me diagnostic graphs for the results: 30s done. It literally takes longer to run the code over real data than to generate the code, I can try a new model idea in 10 minutes, I can refine it by asking add or remove this factor and I get the whole code reworked to fit. Will I simply take the output and use it in something more serious? No, never, but the time I save simply testing what works or does not... Might have been conservative with the 10x.

I had a much larger comment but it wasn't letting me post for some reason. A lot of the companies you know are selling Delta 9 THC hemp now in some way. There are a few random companies I can think of too. In no particular order. Tilray, CGC, Agrify, OGI, CWEB, Glass House, Jones Soda, High Tide, VFF, Curaleaf, Trulieve, cbdMD, LFTD Partners, Lexaria Biosciences. I'm sure I missed some. Besides investing in many of those companies, I have also been against the grain a bit myself by looking for positions in alcohol companies that I know are interested in hemp beverages. Like Constellation Brands, AB InBev, Boston Beer, and Molson Coors. Also Pernod Ricard is supposedly looking for a hemp beverage acquisition, as confirmed by the founders of Brez. If they are able to shift into higher margin hemp drinks they could be a major turnaround story, as they are getting such bad press lately about people not drinking anymore. I am recently dabbling in other beverage companies that have been beaten down too, like KDP and Pepsi. Pepsi actually had a hemp seed oil Rockstar coming out back in 2022, so they are interested in hemp. I think Celsius will be one of the first mainstream brands to incorporate CBD, but that's purely a guess.

dvdmovie1

If the next thing they buy is STZ, I don't think shareholders are going to be happy. This also seems like more a Todd/Ted purchase. Agree with the others that alcohol consumption decline seems a more lasting issue. If I was going to buy anything alcohol-related, I'd rather focus on higher end liquor (REMYY, etc) in the hopes of perhaps some consolidation there. Or even world's largest tequila producer Becle (Cuervo and other brands), which has bounced lately but still remains well under where it went public in 2017. ("The United States imported $5.3 billion of tequila in 2024, according to the U.S. Distilled Spirits Council, opens new tab, up more than 14% in a year and surpassing its whiskey, gin, rum, brandy and vodka imports combined." https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/tequila-giant-becle-quadruples-profit-even-demand-dries-up-2025-07-23/) I wouldn't buy a beer company that had one lucky deal with Corona from AB then proved with major deals since that that one was just luck.

seedoilbaths

Yeah it’s from real life and online. I mean, what left leaning person is realistically going to buy AE after basically waving a flag that screams white supremacy? You time the boom (AE) vs timing the bounce back (AB). It’s pretty much the same thing. So think it through a little next time. No offense but there’s more nuance to making easy money than haha dumb conservatives are gonna spend more money.

OP is mistaken. Mortgage rates are near constant - within about 1% of inflation. The 2010's saw a risk-free rate [lower than it has been in 750 years or more](https://i.imgur.com/tqwqCTR.png)^[pdf](https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/-/media/boe/files/working-paper/2017/eight-centuries-of-the-risk-free-rate-bond-market-reversals-from-the-venetians-to-the-var-shock.pdf?la=en&hash=AB134099346A82E88844F8133AF10BE632BB010A) but it's still pretty low today.

> Modelo has taken much of the market share that Bud Light lost. You know who owns Modelo? The same people that own Bud Light. And guess what? Their revenue and profit is up. Holy motherfucking irony batman. Turns out that crowd of rednecks is still a lot smarter than you: >While both beers are owned by the same parent company outside of the United States, the Modelo brand is owned by Constellation Brands in the US and therefore is not affiliated with AB InBev.[

Being the 4th largest US brewer in the US and always being in the shadow of AB-Inbev and Coors.....you'd think they'd want to make a splash by being the first Big Alcohol company to bring in a real cannabis company to partner with.

Key factor for me, and why this is a long ride up. The law in California that says all hospitals need screening at at least 3 entrances before the end of 2027. Now Maryland USA are talking about adapting the same law, this is eventually going to spread to a lot of states in the US. Xtract are already approved for hospitals and are selling in California atm. I expect schools will be next in line for that law. And if so, then there are plenty of room for more than one competitior. So the only thing missing is scaling up production. Evolv has just borrowed 60mill for the same reason I guess. Since Xtract is cheaper and better then its competitiors, I am expecting a lot of sales under this law. I think that was the reason why they diluted the stock a few weeks back. They need money for scaling up fast. -- The law: Under AB 2975, by March 1, 2027, Cal/OSHA must adopt standards requiring hospitals to use automatic “security mechanisms, devices, or technology designed to screen and identify instruments capable of inflicting death or serious bodily injury” at three specific locations: the main public entrance, the entrance to the emergency department and at the entrance to labor and delivery if it is separate. This requirement will not apply to the ambulance entrance. The Standards Board will define a list of the security mechanisms, devices, or technologies that meet these requirements.

Don’t shift the discussion. There is no small cannabis bar/scene. Also, you can’t invest in Busch. They are wholly owned by AB InBev.

Let's review the actual actions from this timeline. * Congress removes hemp language from Appropriations Bill * Trump says they are reviewing rescheduling How is this different from the situation last year? We had the same hemp language added and then removed from appropriations, and Biden was already reviewing rescheduling. Then there are these comments: >By moving away from a piecemeal hemp crackdown and toward rescheduling cannabis, Trump can solve the **hemp loophole through unified federal THC regulation** >Politically, it’s a win on multiple fronts: it modernizes cannabis laws without full legalization, frames the move as a public safety and economic reform, and positions him—**not Congress**—as the one delivering the solution You're talking about unified federal regulation of THC, but saying that wouldn't come from Congress? **That needs to come from Congress.** I am of the opinion that it's not about Trump or Biden, but about when corporations/billionaires want changes to occur. Trump doesn't understand the difference between THCa and Delta 9 THC. Neither did Biden. Anything they do is following a plan made by others. Bringing cannabis back as a mainstream CPG product is too massive of a move to leave up to Biden/Trump alone. Just like in 2018 when SAFE was [brought up to Trump](https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomangell/2020/01/25/trump-says-marijuana-makes-people-lose-iq-points-in-secret-recording/). He dismissed it and said it was all being worked out. >“That’s the biggest problem, because none of the banks accept the money,” Parnas explained. >Trump then said that the issue is “all working out. That whole thing is working out.” >“I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing,” he added. Or like with the industrial hemp bill, which was [written by lobbyists](https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/07/jon-tester-wanted-to-soften-hemp-regulations-00095634). >....hemp lobbyists and businesses brought the original idea for the legislation to Tester’s office. An email obtained by POLITICO also shows that in February they got a word-for-word early look at the bill that the two senators would go on to introduce weeks later. I do think that (regardless of President) the act of rescheduling needs to occur in conjunction with the Farm Bill dealing with hemp products. Rescheduling and hemp regulations are completely separate actions, but the government can't have separate announcements dealing with the legalization of THC. It would be very confusing to the general public. They had seemed to be ready to deal with hemp at times during Biden's term. It really feels like they're ready to deal with hemp soon lately though. You have Texas, Florida, California, New Jersey, etc all up in the air regarding hemp laws. Texas is currently in special sessions to create hemp regulations, and have said they want to match federal regulations. You also have big tobacco and big alcohol dipping their feet in, like with OGI/BAT, AB InBev distributors selling hemp, and reports that Pernod Ricard is looking at a hemp acquisition.

Then keep running with the current operation until we have accurate data. AB test a new method then stop the old one. Stopping it now sounds like a great way to ensure we never know even the ballpark estimates if job numbers

There's definitely some great companies in Europe beyond the handful people often mention but it does require a bit more research to find them (and some of them don't have US share classes.) I've done very well with Galderma, for example. ABB is a good robotics play and has discussed spinning off their robotics division next year. Are there a lot of good tech stocks? No, but there's other things. Plenty of good roll-ups: (Addtech, Bergman & Beving AB, Lagencrantz, Berner Industrier, Lifco, Momentum Group, etc) and investment holdcos (Investor AB, Exor, etc.)

> Generation one builds it > Generation 2 preserves it > Generation 3 blows it Here's the version that (mostly) rhymes: First generation **earns** it; Second generation **learns** (of) it; Third generation **burns** it. The Busch family (the beer guys) is another classic example, though it took another generation: AB IV didn't care about beer, didn't want to be associated with beer, just wanted to spend beer's money on fast cars and fast women.

Why Some Physicians May Prefer ORLYNVAH 1. Resistance Landscape • ORLYNVAH is the first oral penem approved in the U.S., targeting resistant pathogens like ESBL- or AmpC-producing organisms that are unaffected by amoxicillin-based therapies . • In SURE‑1, ORLYNVAH outperformed ciprofloxacin in fluoroquinolone-resistant infections (62.6% vs. 36.0%)—though in ciprofloxacin-susceptible cases, it was non‑inferior but not superior . 2. Oral Option vs. IV Therapies • For patients with multidrug-resistant pathogens who otherwise would need IV antibiotics, ORLYNVAH offers a home-based oral alternative, helping reduce hospitalization and complexity of care  . Here’s a clearer look at Corey N. Fishman, CEO of Iterum, and his track record with prior companies: ⸻ 🧠 Career Highlights Durata Therapeutics (2010–2015) • Served as CFO and COO, overseeing finance, operations, strategy, business development, international operations, and portfolio oversight. • Raised over $225 million through a successful IPO and follow-on offering. • Led Durata’s sale to Actavis plc in 2014 for approximately $675M in equity value.   Meda/MedPointe (2002–2008) • Became CFO in 2006 at MedPointe (private equity-backed), leading finance, strategy, debt restructuring, portfolio optimization, and multiple line extensions. • Oversaw the company’s eventual sale to Meda AB.  Ganic Pharmaceuticals (2008–2010) • CFO at this Warburg Pincus-backed company (details limited); served as an earlier stepping stone in his pharmaceutical finance career.   ⸻ 📌 Board Roles Illustrating Influence • Momenta Pharmaceuticals: Appointed to the board in 2016. Momenta was later acquired by Johnson & Johnson in late 2020.  • BioSpecifics Technologies: Joined the board in 2020, prior to its eventual acquisition by Endo International plc. Company Role Key Outcome Durata Therapeutics CFO / COO Raised significant capital; sold to Actavis for ~$675M MedPointe / Meda CFO Led strategic turnaround and successful M&A exit Board Roles Momenta & BioSpecifics Both companies acquired by large pharma players Iterum Therapeutics Founder & CEO Secured FDA approval for ORLYNVAH™ and preparing for commercial launch ✅ Bottom Line Corey Fishman’s track record is strong: from capital raises and successful IPOs to orchestrating M&A exits in the specialty pharma space. He has repeatedly navigated companies from financing stages through exits or acquisitions. Now at Iterum, he is executing a similar playbook—achieving FDA approval and gearing up for commercialization.

The public needs revenue. The government only needs enough for what's useful to the public. When it's being dumped on stuff that isn't, that taxation is crap. Misspending and poor utilization is not good government. Neither is pulling wealth from the wrong section of the population. The biggest problem is that second part. Tariffs are THE absolute worst method for public well being. Here's a breakdown of US wealth and application of tariffs upon that wealth. You decide if it's the correct approach. This is based on Trump's $9 Trillion tariff dollar target. Now the US has $160 trillion dollars of wealth. It's super easy to get $9 trillion if you want it. You just don't try to get it the literally stupidest way possible, aka tax the hell out of the poor...which is what Trump is doing. [https://scontent-msp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/516751295\_24763295266606036\_4270644916555710257\_n.jpg?\_nc\_cat=104&ccb=1-7&\_nc\_sid=127cfc&\_nc\_ohc=gwvX03agGPgQ7kNvwFGmVZT&\_nc\_oc=AdndOwuT6mQBhNvyvK8xrup\_RcUz7Ef3K6KSSZsIyeR6Hq3jm2ZvGPWPA1PHNXzrUKg&\_nc\_zt=23&\_nc\_ht=scontent-msp1-1.xx&\_nc\_gid=5-nqwyL8S1a34OurXcrKng&oh=00\_AfTac7O-iBC6OPvhif1jOGFb\_UhJHjhsLCSvDPfLXZIh1w&oe=688C4AB1](https://scontent-msp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/516751295_24763295266606036_4270644916555710257_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=127cfc&_nc_ohc=gwvX03agGPgQ7kNvwFGmVZT&_nc_oc=AdndOwuT6mQBhNvyvK8xrup_RcUz7Ef3K6KSSZsIyeR6Hq3jm2ZvGPWPA1PHNXzrUKg&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-msp1-1.xx&_nc_gid=5-nqwyL8S1a34OurXcrKng&oh=00_AfTac7O-iBC6OPvhif1jOGFb_UhJHjhsLCSvDPfLXZIh1w&oe=688C4AB1) This is also why the rich LOVE tariffs. It's not a tax on assets. It's not a tax on income. It's a tax on purchases, and person to person, the purchases of the broad spectrum of goods is roughly equal, poor or rich, your burden is roughly 1:1. And if you think the rich do spend more on common goods like milk, cereal, coffee, toasters, toothpicks, whatever, then multiply their burden by 10, by 100, by 1000, it literally doesn't even matter to them if they buy 1000x the goods of the poor. The percent burden is still nothing. If you don't tax assets, if you don't tax income, YOU DON'T TAX THE RICH. And when you tax sales and goods, YOU TAX THE POOR. That's the game. That's why the rich push so hard for flatter income tax and to eliminate the "death tax" which only affects anyone with more than $400m dollars. That's none of us, but it's one tool that actually works well at redistributing wealth. You have all these tax systems the rich are trying to swindle their way out from so the only place tax can come from is the poor through things like sales tax and tariffs. And the poor get exceptionally poor, broke, destitute. The masses can no longer move the industrial complex that is consumerism. Company revenue crashes. Companies fail and disappear forever. The economy crashes. And it all happens because the opulently rich don't want to give up even a tiny spec of their immense wealth. And that wealth is IMMENSE. The game is complacency and ignorance. Tariffs aren't good. Trumps abuse of them aren't good. Income tax is great. It's one of the best tax methods we have. But media have pushed exceptionally hard to get you to believe that "evil" income tax is stealing from you. No, it's the only tax that actually scales, and it should scale harder and heavily burden the exceptionally wealthy. Instead...we have Trump and tariffs, and bankrupting half this nation. If you think that's you doing your part, no, it's not. That's you being gullible. Look, I LOVE getting taxed...when it's the right tax. I happily pay taxes to have the roads in great shape, schools paid for, have social programs in place for those in need, and everything else good taxes offer. I HATE getting taxed the wrong way that unfairly burdens me and everyone else. Tariffs are the worst of the worst, and EVERYONE should be pissed off. There has never been a higher tax placed on you or I in our entire lives than what Trump is doing right now. Never before have you been asked to pay so much and the rich to pay so little of that burden. And if you think that's somehow good, I don't know if I can help you.

My University has a set of alumni that founded a brewery which was then sold to a cannabis company. This is in Texas, so they make both cannabis drinks and normal alcholic beverages. This brewery is pretty much in close proximity to an Anheuser-Busch Bud brewery + another brewery bought by the company. I believe AB is actively researching/testing out THC drinks since they partner with Tilray anyway.

Good advice. My portfolio is up 56.91% YTD. Would have been more, but made a few mistakes along the way. One was holding on Envitec Biogas from 30 to 40 EUR per share only to sell it for 31. Missed opportunity. But at least I was up, while US stocks were crashing. So started April from base of zero YTD. Then purchased some large caps like AMD. Elf, El, Meta. As you know - boring base. But good returns. Lost something on others. Lost time and energy while buying and seliing ELTP. Wasted oppurtinity, because I did not sell fast enough and bought fast enough. Now about 200 $ red on this, but still holding 7k shares of this. OTC stocks that have some profit and pipeline in the same time. Not bad. Now bought some shares of OPEN at 0.54. Bought 6k shares at 0.735, sold 2/3 at 1.1 ( I know stupid) and sold rest at 1.65. So got some profit, could be more, but I have soft hands. - stupid stop loss. Anyway. Yesterday bought IXHL for 5% of portfolio and sold 80% of it after itvreached 30% gain for the day. Could have done better, but I have soft hands again.. My next high conviction plays - ACOG, Mdai, VAPE. I have already big position in ACOG - 20% of portfolio. 5% is in VAPE. Mdai no position yet, but will be. All other in boring companies like ADOBE, AMD, Evolution AB and again Envitec biogas - now better price. So let see, where it brings me!

Definitely not as high risk as the stocks you mention but I kind of like Evolution Gaming AB ticker $evo. Its a swedish company that creates games for casino's which casino-sites can then use and is also a market leader in that aspect. Right now regulation let online casino's flourish, especially in Europe. Asia, the US and south america is already following. Evolution AB is currently being sold at 14x profits while being a growth company. Short-term risks were hackers in Asia and ring-fencing in Europa which means Evolution's games are not avaiable for grey-market parties anymore. This means that 2025 will be a year of stagnancy to low-single digit growth compared to 2024. The company and analysts expect double digit growth from 2026 and onwards again. The main advantage of this tactic is less regulatory risk. The company itself buys stocks (roughly 3% on the current valuation) and pays out 50% of its profit in dividends yearly. (Roughly 3,5% on the current valuation) Overall I think its a very good stock pick that isn't all that known and could get you higher than average results for a medium risk.

Strong no from me. Outokumpu district is definitely out of play now (there is a golf course on top of the deposit now! Who's going to rip up a golf course? That will just create way too much news if they try to permit a mine). And Hammaslahti can't make money in the current price environment even if the plant was free, e.g. repurposing the Pyhäsalmi facility. If it doesn't work on paper, no way is it working in real life. Grades are just too low. Geology is against that one. New mining code in Finland also introduces significant development risk. Its never yet been used to successfully permit a mine. Unfortunately these assets are worth nothing and unfortunately that company price ain't going up. Loads of better options on LSE so I doubt there will be much volume flowing to MET1. Better Fenno explorers to invest in would be Rupert Resources, Viscaria Gruv AB, Mandalay Gold, Firefox...

Just a random thought from GTI discussions below. GTI probably thinks that THCa flower will be going away soon. Otherwise they would've included their Dogwalkers pre-roll brand in their hemp licensing deal with Agrify. The only thing GTI lobbies for is [cannabis-related provisions in the Farm Bill](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/e33359dc-40ac-4cba-9cd9-f45171061d57/print/), so I would hope they have good grasp on what to expect from it. The lobbying firm they are using is a major one that also lobbies for Altria, AB InBev, Monsanto, and DoorDash (among many others). They are the [second largest lobbying firm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akin_Gump_Strauss_Hauer_%26_Feld) in the country according to wikipedia, with a major presence in Texas.

Trudeau said it best, is that Canada cannot afford the tariffs unless “We become the US 51st state. Trump has been repeating that line ever since, look what happened to dim light Trudeau? Canada buys very little but depends on our buying their products which already has a VAT when do buy. We should ban travel to Fl where Canadians spend a ton of money on AB&B each year, nonsense that they can’t afford to buy from us. The same Canadians buyout all our US produced bourbon as soon as they arrive here, that OK since they self medicate on this. But please stop putting towels on chairs at the pool early morning to reserve them for 10 people who play bingo many hours later? We should have a pool tax for Canadians!

Intrum AB, europes biggest debtcollector. Has ironically been in trouble because of too much debt. They are now switching to a capital-light model, and are soon done reconstructing the company (1 month away). The goal is to hit a debtratio of 3.5 in 2028 and then reroll their RCF and obligations, which I think is no problem. Price has been going up strongly the last couple of months (~ 2.5 USD to ~ 5 USD) but in the longterm, and if they hit their debtratio target, they are worth somewhere inbetween 20 - 30 USD. At 5+ years I would think of a price between 40 USD - 60 USD.

It does, it's just this does not usually happen because the board will not let this happen. Another issue is the AB stock issue. So that for many company (like google) you won't even be able to change the board even you buy the majority of the shares. But when the founder died, the special voting power cannot be inherited, and will be transferred into common shares. Then you're able to control the board

There's Berkshire in the US and more companies in Europe (Exor, Investor AB, Kinnevik, etc) Large companies in the US do make small investments but they are tiny and don't move the needle for the company at all - or they are done as part of maintaining customer relationships. People see headlines, don't do the research as to the extent of the holding (and think it's validation of the company when that's not necessarily the case) and that's how people get stuck in something like WRD down 70%.

One could argue that if 2 companies have similar structural inefficiencies in the business units they contain…merging them lets you combine the similar parts of each into a larger whole which theoretically achieves efficiency through scale. Then, as step 2 you can spin out the (combined) inefficient business units into an independent company thats better equipped to survive on its own. So it’s AB + AB = AABB (with some trimming of fat) Then you split AABB into AA and BB. All that said…more often than not the above voodoo math is being forced by execs, bankers, and consultants who all get their fees and bonuses just for doing the deal. And they’ll point to a success story as the template, whether it directly applies or not.

Evolution AB - It's gotten so cheap I always think it can't go lower

Here's the economic: A good example would be the Walgreens store on N. Michigan Ave. in Chicago. The store sells a number of beer brands but they don't purchase from AB or MolsonCoors. That six-pack of Michelob Ultra was purchased from AB by Walgreens, they bought it from Lakeshore Beverage because they are the exclusive AB wholesaler for that zip code in Cook County. Walgreens also bought the Modelo (Crown Imports) six-pack which was warehoused in a Golden Eagle warehouse and delivered on a Golden Eagle vehicle. Modelo is imported by a federally & state licensed importer (Constellation) who purchased the product from the producer in Mexico and provided the logistics, paid the taxes & customs fees, then sold it to Golden Eagle, who is the licensed Modelo wholesaler in Chicagoland. The Coors Light six-pack was sold to Walgreens by Chicago Beverage System (Reyes) and so was the Dogfish Head (Boston Beer) and Rodenbach (SFB Imports). So the store maybe gets two or three beer distributor deliveries a week. Full disclosure: Reyes also does McDonalds logistics and is a Coca-Cola Bottler so it's only a matter of time until soft drinks and alcohol consolidate. But Pepsi shit the bed on Blue Cloud so that's likely out. Beer & wine wholesalers could likely fill the void for distribution, but even they don't consolidate well. Beer is a case and keg business. Wine & spirits is a bottle business. Cannabis is a small vehicle, small warehouse business where relative humidity and age are the enemies of terpenes, much the same way that light and heat effect beer. It's not that they don't want your product. They don't want your delivery. They don't want your salesperson and they certainly don't want your billing mistake. Consolidation at the wholesale tier in alcohol was driven by Kroger and Walmart and brewers want fewer, but bigger customers to deliver value through reduced admin. SGWS perfected this. But they were smart enough to keep most principals of the distributors they acquired around because they were heavily invested in state & local legislatures in order to protect the three-tier system and more importantly, franchise laws.

TLDR: don’t buy pot stocks because federal legalization will destroy the existing industry and it won’t spare a soul. US Pot stocks have been over pumped since day 1. Anyone who knows anything about heavily regulated CPG (beer, wine, spirits, cigarettes) knows Cannabis will undoubtedly be regulated like alcohol (not because it’s like alcohol, because it’s an intoxicant) which is unlike any other industry. First, alcohol is a three-tier industry, which means entities must pick a lane. TTB licenses producers and wholesalers and before you can be granted a production or wholesale distribution license, every member of your entity (owners, officers, & board) must be approved prior to the entity being licensed. The Federal Alcohol Administration Act of 1934 prohibits “interlocking directorates” meaning market participants are limited to one entity. You can’t be part of a “control group” of more than one entity, including retail. The same provisions are included in Chapter 56 of the Internal Revenue Code proposed in all four of the federal cannabis legalization bills. Federal tax is “Ad Valorem” (price of first sale) and collected before the product leaves the “bonded area” (a secure, insured area of the warehouse) and can only be sold to a federally & state licensed wholesaler outside the “control group”. So there goes vertical integration. Additionally, alcohol has unique “Trade Practice Rules” unlike any other industry which prohibit: Exclusive Outlet, Consignment Sales, Tied-house, (and the big one) Commercial Bribery. These provisions create “a level playing field” between large and small producers according to TTB. So any and all of the CPG strategies & tactics are prohibited. Retailers are completely independent and cannot enter into contracts with producers or wholesalers. So no slotting fees for shelf space, no marketing agreements for pricing like soft drinks, no buy-downs like cigarettes; producers big & small have access to retailers shelves regardless of how big are small they are. That’s why you have a craft beer industry. Otherwise, big alcohol would simply push them out. Big tobacco is a huge threat to cannabis. The big two have the 200k + independent retailers contractually obligated to put whatever they decide directly behind the register at every gas station in US. They “buy down” the price with rebates to retailers and wholesalers sell every brand unlike alcohol which has exclusive wholesalers and territories with 18 states having franchise laws protecting wholesalers investment in big alcohol brands. Bottom line: the cannabis industry is small now and publicly traded companies will get even smaller. Stop setting your money on fire buying their stocks. Now, if you ever see a publicly traded cannabis wholesaler, buy that. The capacity constraints are much, much lower than production and retail. Research Reyes Brothers and Southern Glazers Wine & Spirits but you won’t find financials. They’re private companies few have ever heard of, but those families are worth billions. Even a (relatively) small AB wholesaler can get $39 to $42 per case in M&A. So why break up the existing cannabis industry? Well, because the exact tactics that vertically integrated multi-state operators (MSO’s) are using to grow were employed by whiskey producers pre-prohibition. Consolidation, tax evasion, and price compression caused a gallon of milk, a dozen eggs or a bottle of whiskey to be about the same price according to Daniel Okrent who wrote the comprehensive prohibition narrative “Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Probibition”. Okrent goes on to explain that states (not the federal government) pushed for the the three-tier system and a good number of existing wholesalers were licensed in 1933. The FAAA of 1934 followed the states lead and purposefully segregated the industry through regulation. Why regulate cannabis the same way? Simple: inexpensive intoxicants create social problems. Alcohol regulations exist to keep the price of alcohol from getting too low. Cigarettes to some extent too. Almost every state has “state minimum markup” or “post and hold” provisions for both because large retailers could use alcohol, cigarettes or cannabis as a loss leader and drive small & independent retailers out with price. Final thought: stand alone cannabis dispensaries aren’t a thing. If hemp showed retailers anything (and they now have the data) cannabis is a great deal for existing big box retailers and supermarkets. Assuming each of the three tiers split the final sale price equally, producers would sell it to wholesalers at 33.3% of the final sale price. So a $1,000 pound at retail earns the producer a third, the wholesaler marks it up a third, so $666 wholesale equals $1k retail. Existing cannabis retail marks up cannabis 100% (like most retail) so a $1k pound costs $500 wholesale. Now the retailer can only sell cannabis, so no alcohol, cigarettes, lottery, fuel, pharmaceuticals, etc. and retail margins get cut and licenses get added, particularly to retailers all already having been issued state permits to sell the aforementioned regulated goods, how do they compete? How’s Rite Aid doing? How about Walgreens? They can’t be competitive with all of those licenses as a brick & mortar retailer. How will cannabis dispensaries? Sorry you set your money on fire.

Antibiotics are given according to guidelines that are made using scientific research.  They are 95% correct and thats why some people slip through cracks. If you give AB to everybody without proper simptoms you end up making ab resistant microorganisms, some patients unneceseary get serious, even letal sideffects. Its double edge sword how much we risk patient and how much we risk AB resistance, AB serious side effects etc.its not that simple. There is no simple solution.

Single use clothes is a thing but fast fashion (in the context of what Chinese companies do) is an entirely different thing. Their fast fashion is about selling small batches of clothes via online stores (temu etc) to A, B test what sell then rapidly (on the time scale of days if not hours) mass produce what sells well, and very quickly moving to sell what they produce often advertising and getting sales before the clothes are even in production. As its about rapidly iterating and scaling clothes production up and down to meet demand without over producing goods that don't sell. Now to get to this rapid iteration the clothes are often of low quality (but isn't always the case as this is mostly for cheaper brands) and is the result of the memes of you order something online from temu and the final product looks nothing like what you where advertised as if your in the A B testing batch the original product likely didn't exist in any form when you ordered it and if you bought an item that doesn't get mass produced the quality is going to be extremely low as the companies doesn't care about your purchase. In theory this could massively decrease clothes waste as its generally reported something like 40% of clothes produced never gets sold and goes get tossed, with this being significant higher for western fast fashion brands, such that the Chinese model of this rapid iteration matching production to sales, could massively reduce overall waste. But the core issue that theses companies can get away with their clothes not lasting long is the consumers who buy theses clothes don't care as they will likely only wear theses products a few times anyway (if at all), with it estimated that over 50% of clothes people own almost never get worn with this being heavily dominated and skewed by those who buy fast fashion. Such that even if the clothes doesn't last a long time this practice of Chineses AB testing and rapid iteration and very little materials going to the goods is likely as environmentally friendly we could get this industry without massively changing consumer habits, which is the core problem and we all have that person in our lives lets be honest.

Saw another article on Yahoo Finance that was about AB Volvo laying off employees in the US, then saying things like "The truck-manuacturer said this...", then they insert a chart of the stock price and the chart is Volvo Cars. Not even the same company, and hasn't been since the 90s. People writing articles about companies for a living should know that. But my guess is it is either some sort of ignorance, or it is a mistake that some AI has made that they use and don't fact-check.

>I think there will be an AB-Inbev of cannabis that isn't already a Big Tobacco or Big Alcohol company. Question is, who will it be? Will most likely be the companies that own brands that people want to buy. It will also be the ones that can scale the most efficiently to supply the masses with products that are consistent in experience. It will be extremely capital intensive to redistribute grow-ops and scale up growing everything yourself. Companies today have an advantage of getting people exposure to their brands/products. The ROI will be much higher to sell your brand/genetics to small growers across the country than to build it all out yourself. Example using Stiiizy, a well known private company Stiiizy enters into a partnership with a small grower (ABC) in California. ABC pays a licensing fee, grows the product and slaps a Stiiizy label on it. Stiiizy spends money in sales and marketing to keep demand for product high so the grower has an easy time getting into stores. Rinse and repeat per state as often as you can. You can scale this way a lot quicker than building new more efficient grow ops in friendlier climates. And its a lot cheaper than acquiring and integrating companies that fit what you are looking for

Across both exits, Fishman generated approximately $1.5 billion in total deal value. He has stated they are looking for a "strategic transaction" for Iterum as well. While we don't know for sure what happens to $ITRM many investors are expecting a similar outcome from the management team. Near term, this likely rallies to $2-3 range ahead of any material news on an acquisition, partnership or private equity deal. Analyst price targets are around $10/share fwiw. As always do you own research and due diligence.

No this is Volvo trucks (AB). Volvo Cara is partly owned by Geely.

So you saw a guy just slinging slogans left and right, constantly circling back to trying to tie Carney to being Trudeau? The man also wants to infringe on the rights of Canadians the same way Trump is down south with his stupid "three strikes you're out" policy. He fear mongered completely trying to make it seem like we have a revolving door of murderers on the loose in Canada. He doesn't give a shit about the fentanyl crisis, the inaction from his MPs has shown that. His refusal to have reporters on his campaign is a red flag, he has that looming thing of not having security clearance, something which even Jagmeet has. Why doesn't he have it? Shouldn't our leadership hopefuls BE in the know on important information? What's he afraid of? Also, his MPs have failed to show up for my local candidates forum to answer questions regarding the election. They take a lot of the constituents in their stronghold for granted and only show up when they need it. The Liberal candidate came to this in rural AB, what reason do the CPC have for skipping it?

They were forced to wear badges sewn onto their clothes. Armbands were generally used by government, armed forces, party members and other nazi related groups. Here’s a good overview for armbands: https://www.germandaggers.com/Gallery/AB.php And here’s a good essay on the triangle badges used for ‘undesirables’: https://designobserver.com/the-nazi-triangle/ Also: https://www.thepinktriangle.com/history/symbol.html

Well, China's Geely has a stake in Volvo AB, so maga can easily spin this into something.
