AB InBev uses a bunch of lobbyists. The first lobbying firm they started using for cannabis was Splitoak in late 2021. They lobby with Splitoak (2021-present, in-house (2022-present), and with DMM (2025-present) on cannabis issues. At the end of 2024 they changed their wording in-house from: * "Differentiation beer from cannabis" to * "Differentiation of beer **from cannabis and hemp**" DMM used "cannabis and hemp" language since the start of 2025. Splitoak never changed their language to include hemp. AB InBev just filed their most recent disclosure with Splitoak though, and they updated that language for the first time since they [started with them in 2021](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/bc0155da-4da4-4c93-8884-1924b32f1113/print/). In the [most recent quarter](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/770ae44b-8e44-4487-a28c-7787804b3851/print/) they changed from: * "Differentiate beer from cannabis" * "Differentiate beer **from hemp**" No mention of cannabis at all on this one.

Series is basically over. Just lots of copium and hopium. Just looking at it from a statistical point of view. The mariners can’t hit starting pitching, at all in 80% of games. The Jays plan to toss Shane Bieber who throws a lot of off speed spin balls and then will go to mad max when Shane is done. I predict blue jays 5, mariners 1 in an easy route. Been a mariners fan since I was a little boy growing up born and raised in Seattle. The numbers don’t lie. Look at these batting averages.

We will hold you to it😀. For literally decades google and amzn have been my top holdings. Long term wise they both delivered home runs but for a long time google stock wise underperformed imo (while amzn is lagging lately) But both hold and generate $$$$, despite ongoing, never ending challenges. Notice that GOOG has not participated in the circle jerk centered around open AI, orcl and nvda in which money comes more from investors (or out of thin air somewhere in the future) instead of like GOOG where organic vertical stack of existing businesses print money, most probably more so with AI advances. Just this week, 2 cancer related advances were announced without much fanfare, while open AI is planning to sink into AI porn to scrap for money. Also Gemini 3.0 pro is to be the next release. AB testings have been shown to be quite special, in a league of its own. Anyway, let’s see if we are right in time that GOOG can survive the internet bubble and the AI bubble. Looking back, I’m kinda happy that open AI has helped to wake up google and kicked it into a higher gear, with a sense of urgency to push forward.

The only way I can think of to scale this is to hire a bunch of guys to manually input the shit for you. Crowdsource accounts and do arb between different accounts / names. You can obfuscate all your arbs if you have multiple people. Difficulty of figuring it out who is "in the group" and who isn't grows exponentially as people increase linearly due to combinations of accounts you can arb inbetween. For example - a group of 6 people may be enough to run a sophisticated arb operation on. We know bookies blacklist people / talk to each other (just like casinos) -- so you gotta be smart about it. For example - if you have 6 accounts / people, A,B,C,D,E,F. You arb between A (long) and B (short) on two different brokers. You can do the combinations AB AC AD AE AF \-- BC BD BE BF \-- CD CE CF \-- DE DF \-- Never run the arb between two accounts with the same name. This gives you 14 unique ways to run arbs while minimizing risk of getting caught. With 10 people you basically can run hundreds of arbs in different combinations. Obfuscation is one way to remain undetected.

One reason I am bullish on hemp beverages as a whole is that they are so much more efficient to produce than beer. But few brands will have the ability to scale to a national level and maintain consistency, without partnering with a major beverage producer. If a company like AB InBev or Constellation really stepped into THC beverages, they could save so much money on operations. I imagine an ideal scenario for them would be using drinking trends and tariffs as an excuse to do layoffs/consolidations. Then if they shift into hemp beverages they can still pump out the same production volume with a smaller workforce. And sell a higher margin product too. Tilray stopped producing beer at their Texas facility earlier this year. They consolidated beer production at another site, and are focusing on "unique and innovative brews" at their Texas site as part of their "project 420" initiative. I assume they will be pumping out hemp beverages from that facility to support the Texas market, which is currently getting regulated. Texas is one of Circle K's primary markets too, so it makes sense.

One of the links i provided discusses some of that. Honeywell is working to scale up technology for hemp buofuel production. Creating the infrastructure for hemp has been an ongoing process for years. Meanwhile Texas just opened one of the largest industrial hemp fiber processing plants in the world. They've also been working on that for years. Back when Bruce Linton left Canopy he started to get into the hemp infrastructure funding business. They formed a SPAC to pursue hemp supply chain, and then later other Canopy executive launched another hemp supply chain fund. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2022/03/15/2403765/0/en/rePlant-Hemp-Advisors-Opens-500-million-First-To-Market-Sustainable-Impact-Fund-For-Investment.html So yea, essentially since the last Farm Bill lots of companies and individuals have been helping to create the infrastructure to support an industrial hemp industry. And for biofuel specifically, yes they are probably wanting to get in on other biofuel subsidies. As Bruce Linton said, by the time you get to CBD you should already have made a profit off all the other parts of the plant. Just think of the margins if a company like AB InBev started selling CBD beverages. If you had a supply chain to repurpose hemp waste (like brewers already do with barley) their CBD would be essentially free, but the CBD products would demand a premium mark up at retail. Same idea for hemp THC products. Charlotte's Web was supposed to be getting into CBD beverages in late 2022. And the CFO they appointed in late 2022 came directly from working for the AB InBev subsidiary that upcycles their used barley. https://investors.charlottesweb.com/press-releases/press-release-details/2022/Charlottes-Web-Appoints-Jessica-Saxton-as-Chief-Financial-Officer/default.aspx https://evergrainingredients.com/

The Beer Institue is a lobbying organization that represents beer producers. Its board of directors are [AB InBev, Molson Coors, Constellation Brands, and Heineken](https://www.beerinstitute.org/about-us/leadership/). In addition to a few others, they've lobbied with a pretty small firm called Thorsen French Advocacy since 2011. In Q3/Q4 of last year, they added "[cannabis regulation](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/3247cadc-76c7-4aa3-9145-2f2b40c60d70/print/)" to their lobbying activities with Thorsen. They also started lobbying for the Farm Bill and "[issues related to intoxicating hemp](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/09266518-3759-4671-825b-faf27f07e732/print/)" with their in-house lobbying team. In Q1/Q2 of this year, there was no mention of cannabis/hemp with Thorsen. In Q3 of this year, the Beer Institute started lobbying for cannabis/hemp again with Thorsen. Except instead of "cannabis regulation" they used the wording "[Issues related to the regulation of Hemp.](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/cb11dc29-6404-42fa-aae0-137cc129f528/print/)". They also added in the House agriculture appropriations act, which makes sense because that's where Congress was trying to add in hemp ban language.

I believe Nvidia realizes the need, they have been pumping into Ayar Labs...... by the way Ayar Labs developed their flagship 'Supernova light source' with Sivers! They also made this announcement in December 2024- excerpt from Mark Wade, CEO of Ayar Labs said “Ayar Labs, a strategic customer of Sivers Semiconductors, intends to expand its relationship with Sivers Semiconductors through NRE and pre-purchase of products to prepare for high volume deployment of optical I/O to address bandwidth bottlenecks in AI infrastructure." .But on 29 Sep 2025, Significant new development.... POET announced collaboration with Sivers Semiconductors AB (STO: SIVE), a global supplier of advanced optical semiconductors, to develop high-performance and cost-effective External Light Source (ELS) modules tailored for Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) and next-generation AI infrastructure........ my conclusion from this is .... currently for any development of a competitive light source at the scale and cost that the industry needs. ..... requires the established benefits of POETs Optical Interposer's chip scale integration... no other alternatives available that I can foresee that can enable the widespread adoption of photonics to scale in , out, across..... etc .........and Sivers know this and has acted on it,so will others ... very quickly.... inevitable!

Haha, boy, you are really living in an alternative reality. The facts are: their idiotic and arrogant Mulvaney backlash didn’t just devastate sales — it triggered internal turmoil and financial carnage. Anheuser‑Busch laid off _hundreds of corporate employees in the summer of 2023 as Bud Light’s demand collapsed_. Top marketing executives tied to the influencer campaign were placed on leave as the company distanced itself from the decision. Meanwhile, the parent company’s market value was under siege. AB InBev’s shares _plunged by around 20 %_ from their pre‑boycott peak, erasing tens of billions in market capitalization. Its U.S. revenue _dropped 10.5 % in Q2 of 2023_, as Bud Light’s plunge dragged down the broader portfolio. In the weeks following the controversy, Bud Light’s U.S. retail sales plunged by _as much as 26 % year-over-year_, and its market share was overtaken by Modelo. What began as a single influencer tie-in spiraled into structural collapse: mass layoffs, shaken leadership, and a stock collapse. Are you seriously trying to downplay one of the most self-destructive moves in marketing history by pointing out that the global giant is still struggling to recover more than two years later? That’s basically an argument against yourself.

Hydrofarm just added [Chris Yetter](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/10/02/3160328/0/en/Hydrofarm-Announces-Changes-to-its-Board-of-Directors.html) to their board of directors. Chris Yetter runs a private equity firm called Dumont Global. They have invested in Hydrofarm for years. This firm was formed in 2018 to invest in cannabis, as a partnership between Chris Yetter and the principals from 3G Capital. 3G Capital is the major private equity firm known for their [longtime investment in AB InBev](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G_Capital). Chris Yetter is only on one other board that I know of (from Hydrofarm's press release). He is a director of Minneapolis Cider Co. since 2024, which is a company doing hemp beverages called Trail Magic. So besides AB InBev's distributors getting into hemp lately, we have 3G Capital associates starting to invest directly in hemp beverage brands.

Reasonable take: boycotts are highly effective most of the time. On the conservative side, the Bud Light boycott worked. On the liberal side, the Target boycott is working. Now the big difference is hiding the brand behind the brand. Anheuser Busch was able to market Modelo to the Bud Light haters and they were never the wiser. Target can't just slap on a new name. I would guess Disney would go more the way of AB but still not great. They can hide behind owning many media companies, but I would guess they might see a noticable drop in direct revenue like park sales. I would certainly sell if I held Disney today, but I think they're poorly managed in general so this doesn't shock me.

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.

RandomGenerator_1

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.

GeoLogic23

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.

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.

Professional_Cod6824

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.

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.

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.

Irisity AB (stock ticker: IRIS.ST) is a Swedish tech firm listed on Nasdaq Stockholm First North Growth Market, specializing in AI-powered video analytics and surveillance solutions. Their IRIS+ platform secures over 3,000 sites globally, with subsidiaries like Agent Vi (Israel, book value 300–400 MSEK, market value 100–150 MSEK), Visionists (Sweden, 10–20 MSEK), and Ultinous (Hungary, 30–40 MSEK). That’s a total book value of 340–460 MSEK (2.10–2.88 SEK/share), yet the market cap sits at just 140–210 MSEK – the stock’s undervalued due to these gems!So why the slide? The price has been dropping for months, now at 0.25 SEK, hit by dilution (36.6% last year), a shaky cash position (5–6 MSEK post-21.1 Mkr emission in April), and delayed customer payments. But here’s the twist – behind the scenes, they’ve quietly launched a joint venture in Saudi Arabia (26–27 July) tied to Vision 2030! With 529k shares traded today, something’s brewing. The drop could be Stockhorn (24% owner) positioning for a bigger stake via a new emission, or savvy small investors snapping up cheap shares.

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.

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.
