Tristan just got back to me about the CaliCruz Farm that Bill mentioned recently.
I asked him what was it, where was it, and what were the details.
He replied "I have no news on that"...
GO $LVVV
Maybe LVVV should offer dividends.
hahahahhaha
You mean, not always true.
Most of the time, share buybacks result in an eventual increase in the price of the remaining shares.
In LVVV's case, reducing the A/S should increase the SP.
I guess you missed the part where I said that this was just one man's opinion... LOLOL
GO $LVVV
Not true. A lot of companies have bought back shares and their share price has gone down actually this year. Look it up via Wall Street Journal.
It doesn't increase Revenue, it would increase Share Price. LOLOL
I guess I should have made that a bit more clear...
GO $LVVV
Tel me this ...
"We are making minimal revenue, and I don't see us making lots of revenue until we either scale up or Bill buys back shares,"
how does Bill spending money to buy back shares increase "revenue"?? LOLOL
I did, but they were also making tons of revenue, not profit, but revenue.
We are making minimal revenue, and I don't see us making lots of revenue until we either scale up or Bill buys back shares, and he doesn't really have the capital to do either right now.
Last year's harvest, to me, was a huge disappointment. Hell, we still don't even know any details on just what revenue we got from it.
Given Bill's total lack of transparency, I just don't see that changing with this year's harvest.
Serious investors take one look at the lack of transparency and Bill's track record, and refuse to invest in LVVV, that's why we've floundered for the last 6 years.
There's nothing solid to get the whales to commit big $, just hype and dreams...
This is all just one man's opinion, but I really don't see this going up too high given the current business model.
However, I'm in at .01, and will not sell at a loss, so anything over that would be great...
GO $LVVV
BMEL - Did you happen to watch and see how many shares the Big MJ companies had outstanding and at what PPS they were at with all the Loans and Debts and constant even to this day quarterly losses when they were building out their “empires” these past couple years???
$2.50 a share is totally unrealistic.
.25 maybe way down the road.
I'll be surprised to see .10 within the next few years.
Too many Authorized shares and Outstanding shares, too little revenue,
terrible transparency of company financials and piss poor communications...
GO $LVVV
LVVV will never hit $2.50 now. ROFLMFAO
Bill just increased the Outstanding Shares by another 14 million shares.
Thanks Bill, you're killing us...

THE CANNABIS MARKET – DISASTER OR OPPORTUNITY?
ARE WE AT THE BOTTOM?
?THE BAD AND THE GOOD
We live in times of heightened economic volatility, mainly caused by supply chain imbalances, a relic of the two-year pandemic, resulting in a high inflation rate that has risen to 8% in 2022. Accordingly, most pieces of financial assets have declined from their 2021 highs. The S&P is down more than 14%, and the NASDAQ is down 22%. Many cannabis stocks, especially those of the highly hyped and often severely overextended SPACs, have declined, several more than 50%.
In recent years, the cannabis industry has gone through an unprecedented growth (investment) phase, quickly followed by a significant drop in raw material (flower) prices. While an oversupply of products, either from legal production or illicit sales, still increased revenues for some producers, especially for the large SPACs and MSOs, profits shrunk drastically, resulting in decreasing share prices. Some states have seen a dip in sales between 4% and t 10% while still setting sales records. An increasing number of cultivators have abandoned or are not renewing their expensive licenses, overextended retailers and distributors shut down, and "For Sale" signs are going up on manufacturing facilities throughout the Country. At least four National cannabis companies have either departed California (the biggest market in the U.S.), are planning to reduce the size of their operations significantly or shut down altogether. While this has created concern in financial circles, this might also represent a unique opportunity for investors to increase their position in a renewed cannabis market, especially in California.
This weeding out of poorly managed over extended companies should lead to a financially healthier and more sustainable market sector. Companies that have a realistic and well-managed business model and structure most likely have the staying power to work through these challenging times. We see the rules and regulations (and related expenses) coming into sync with the market conditions and improving to the degree that will make the U.S. cannabis markets very profitable, especially in California, which is still the largest consumer market in the U.S.
Note: One week ago, our entire portfolio was down 63% compared to 55% by the end of October
THE REASONS
Overproduction of flower, based on hyped and unrealistic expectations (Grow it, and they will come)
Flower prices droped by a factor of 6-8 times, making it hard for mass producers of low-quality flower to generate profits
Legalization has still not improved conditions for small to mid-size manufacturers
Illicit market sales are still 6x as big as legitimate sales, driving flower prices down.
The permitting process is complicated, lengthy, and very costly
Taxation on the cultivation and retail level is too high
Accounting principles are unrealistic, not allowing general GAP business expenses to be applied.
These factors make it nearly impossible for most companies to generate profits. Decreasing share prices are the direct result. See the pain producers have been going through since January of this year, month by month.
CHANGES COMING
All of this is going to change soon enough. We are going out on a limb, something we typically do not do. We project that the monthly growth of our portfolio of 25%, as experienced from September to October, will continue at a somewhat lower rate of around 15% per month as the entire sector is recovering. That is, if the Feds make our (investment) lives just a little easier before this year is over. Based on the typical chart support and resistance levels, we may have found a bottom at the end of October. We may not consider a one-month turnaround a "trend" yet, but the famous saying "The Trend is your Friend" may apply in this case; however, small the trend at this time.
MARKET DEVELOPMENT
The cannabis sector has developed from a revolutionary new industry ready for the taking by anybody willing to try into a sophisticated and complex marketplace that requires solid business experience and a capable management team. As the industry evolves, it has become vital for brands and retailers to know their customers, how they are evolving, and what products are in high demand. Companies have identified distinct consumer archetypes based on social and demographic data analysis and consumer behaviors and purchasing habits to understand the ever-changing consumer better. The companies that can dynamically adjust to these market conditions and produce high-quality and unique products will be the winners and generate profits and a good return on investment for their investors. Interestingly, all companies in our portfolio have moved in concert and the same direction, regardless of up or down, with a few companies suffering smaller decreases in share prices than others.
THE GOOD NEWS
Medical cannabis is now legal in 37 U.S. states.
Nine additional states are most likely to pass recreational legislation.
Weed sales increased by 40% and reached $25 Billion in 2021.
Sales are expected to reach $32 Billion in 2022 and $100 Billion by 2030.
The cannabis sales tax revenue across states increased 34% from 2020, totaling more than $3,7 Billion.
The U.S. legal cannabis market is projected to more than double by 2025, reaching $41.5 billion in sales and producing a 21% compound annual growth rate ("CAGR").
Mergers and acquisitions of MSOs nearly doubled from 2020 to 2021. T.T.
The cannabis industry supports 428,059 jobs.
Ninety-one (91%) of U.S. adults are on board with marijuana legalization, with California being the leading producer and consumer. Recreational use is legal in 18 U.S. States.
48% of Republicans and 83% of Democrats favor legalizing marijuana.
Seventy-two (72%) Americans now live in a state with access to legal recreational cannabis.
50% of cannabis consumers have been consuming more cannabis since the start of the pandemic.
Note: Statistics according to Gallup, MJ Business Daily, Pew Research Center
This is an explicit confirmation that cannabis is here to stay and that the market will continue to expand with continuing legalization, reduced taxation, diminishing illicit sales, and stabilizing consumer prices.
HAVE WE REACHED THE BOTTOM?
Analyst wisdom says," It's always tricky to call the Bottom." Nevertheless, many investors always try to do just that. There are certainly enough newsletters out there telling you with absolute certainty to buy this "100-Bagger"; success is guaranteed. Success is also often "proven" by the person who "called the crash in …. and the enormous rise in ……." This person is the guarantee that you will multiply your money quickly and without risk.
At Stockwatchindex (SWI), we have never been that kind of financial newsletter. We do not give investment advice; we provide the facts and the numbers based on our in-depth research. Sometimes we go as far as providing an opinion. You must decide for yourself if the information we provide represents an excellent investment opportunity and is in sync with your investment philosophy and risk tolerance.
For this presentation, we have focused on the hot/cold/hot marijuana sector, which is the focus of a significant section in our SWI Newsletter, SWI Daily paper, and consulting work. We have been tracking the sector very closely for the past four years, have worked very closely with several cannabis companies, and have paid particular attention to the reasons why the cannabis investments during the last year have delivered a less than exciting return on investments at least until September 2022.
CONCLUSION
While we do not pretend that we are absolutely sure that this is THE BOTTOM, we let the numbers speak for themselves. Nevertheless, if we can trust chart interpretations, we may be nearly there or already on the way back up. Naturally, it is as vital as ever that you pick the right company; that criterion has not changed.

Stay Tuned - The Story Continues
Would luv to see $1+ million Net profit for Q3…. Would believe we see a minimum of $.20+ in my opinion.,,,
JDizzle - Looking forward to one day sitting down at the ranch and sipping on a fine scotch while recounting all the days of old when the PPS was under a Penny…
I would think Bill would wait until he has the revenues from the next 2 harvests and then he can invest further. Those LED lights that were mentioned cost a nice nut. They do work, but you need stabile/clean power source so as to not short they out.
Bit more to go imo.. remember he also stated they are going to start working on a large indoor grow area as well… if that comes to play, it’s gonna take a good bit, and lots of coin to build that out
If we get to $2.50 a share next year, then this will have been worth it...
Fingers crossed.
GO $LVVV
I look at it this way - After watching all the Big Boys and their outrageous share prices as they issued billions of shares to grow and become so large, it was destined for them to all come crashing down to reality. I mean some of them have had losses from the start and have continued to show losses and are trading still in the multiple of dollars. In My Opinion, If Bill can do it right and keep it economical and ergonomically as well, then I expect as a low ball share price of $2.50 a share next year at some point once the Quarterly Revenues start getting into the millions.
I feel the Q3 fins should reveal a lot of where this company is headed.
If Bill was true in saying LVVV for their 2nd quarter ended June 30, 2022 had a net profit of $183,122 then Q3 and Q4 should also be higher. It’s even mentioned here:
“Estrella River Farms, ‘Estate Grown Weedery™’ licensed products are currently being prepared for distribution through established distribution channels. Accordingly, based on our continuing expansion, we expect to recognize increased Revenue in Q3 and Q4 of 2022 and significant increases for 2023,” Hodson concludes.
Cool article. Informative. I’m tired of our SP bleeding and floating around a black hole. ERF is a good concept, but being down 70% of my investment over 5 years says it all. Investors here are like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed nonsense. If that ever changes, I will be one happy shareholder.
LVVV has been in the cannabis business for a long time. They manufactured the first CBD chew's for MJNA over 10 years ago before changing direction . Should have plenty of connections in the industry.
But, when you "white label" your products, that means that you don't sell it under your brand name.
Doesn't that mean ERF products will not be sold under the Estrella Weedery brand?
Also, Tristan has been down with the China Flu for a while now but should be back next week.
Maybe he can answer some of the questions that we've sent him.
GO $LVVV
I’m interested in this little tidbit:
“After harvest, all of their flower will be white-labeled to Phire Labs and two other big brands (undisclosed) to be turned into concentrates and pre-rolls.”
Would luv to know who the other 2 Big Brands are that are buying from ERF….

California Leaf Magazine article on Estrella Farms. LVVV
Can’t open it. What is it?
Hey bmel,
Let's give ole Winny Churchill the credit for that one. Sure sums up where things are here, though!!!
Bill is showing his true colors. Treating loyal shareholders as nothing more than peons undeserving of his time. Dismal performance and pompous attitude is a bad mix.
Livewire's business plan is an enigma wrapped in a riddle, inside a mystery.
They'll tell us their plan when they figure out what the plan is...
GO $LVVV
All I can say is, I plan on waiting it out.
Email - “It’s November 2nd where are the products? They were supposed to be out in September”
Response - “We understand. Things are well under way and expect news coming.
Thank you,”
That was on the 2nd. I email he about it yesterday but still no answer. LVVV
I've emailed Tristan twice for more info on CaliCruz Farms,
so far, nothing but crickets chirping...
Must be a plan within a plan within still another plan.
GO $LVVV
Shhhhhhhhhh... LVVV
Marking the 10th anniversary since Colorado voters approved marijuana legalization at the ballot, Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) announced on Thursday that he will soon be filing a congressional bill to set the country up for federal cannabis reform.
Specifically, the Preparing Regulators Effectively for a Post-Prohibition Adult-Use Regulated Environment Act (PREPARE) Act would direct the attorney general to create a commission charged with making recommendations on a regulatory system for marijuana that models what’s currently in place for alcohol.
The measure is identical to a House companion bill that Reps. Dave Joyce (R-OH), Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Brian Mast (R-FL) filed in April. Hickenlooper’s staff told Marijuana Moment that the Senate version will be formally introduced when the chamber returns from recess in mid-November.
The senator sees the commission that would be created by the legislation as similar to a task force he empaneled when he was Colorado’s governor to steer implementation of legalization at the state level.

CaliCruz Farms More BS from LVVV CEO Bill Hodson
I didn't mention CaliCruz Farms cause it's the first I've heard of them. Could it be what the issued shares were for?
I’m excited to see them too. Expecting to see more profits. Should be out in a couple weeks. My question is where are the products on Kushagram that were supposed to be up in September? LVVV
Let’s GO BILL!!! BRING HOME THAT GOLD!!!!
I for one am extremely looking forward to reading and seeing the Q3 results which should start to show the revenue potential. Q4 should then increase even further because of the current harvests taking place!!!
Funny how not one person mentioned anything about CaliCruz Farms.
Very interesting:
“This includes developing and licensing high-quality organic cannabinoid-based products and services and creating the high-quality "Estrella Grown Weedery" brand via its subsidiary/affiliate companies Estrella Ranch Partners, Estrella River Farms, Makana Ola, and CaliCruz Farms.”
62 million shares at .004 lmfao . Dude. Billy fu$king Hodson everybody. Rent isn’t cutting it to pay the bills apparently. Buy LVVV shares, contribute to Bills money pit. Your return on investment won’t be fulfilled, but you can be here bitching about him for the next 5 years!!!
100. dollars a pound makes for some killer profit margins with the grow pounds sell grams frame work. ,223 cents a gram.
Livewire tms Estrella Weedery Is The World tms First Estate-Grown Weedery A Sustainable Cannabis Farm and Destination Focused On Premium Organic-Style Specialty Cannabis Products
8:16 AM ET 11/2/22 | Dow Jones
Livewireâ tms Estrella Weedery Is The Worldâ tms First Estate-Grown Weedery â " A Sustainable Cannabis Farm and Destination Focused On Premium Organic-Style Specialty Cannabis Products
November 02, 2022 -- (LiveWire Ergogenics, Inc.) --
(NewsDirect)
Livewire Ergogenics Inc. trading at the OTC Marketplace under (OTCMKTS: LVVV) is a company focused on acquiring, managing, leasing, and licensing special-purpose real estate properties and operations conducive to producing high-quality, handcrafted, and organically grown specialty cannabis products for medical and recreational adult-use in California.
The company s main operations are in Paso Robles, California, including the recently acquired Estrella Ranch nestled among hundreds of world-renowned vineyards and Makana Ola Farms In Humboldt, California. The company says the Estrella Ranch property is the home to the world s first Estate Grown Weedery , following the well-established vineyard business model, eventually developing it into a cannabis tourist destination in California.
Already an active cannabis-producing property, the company is turning Estrella Ranch into multiple revenue-stream properties while preserving its natural splendor and prioritizing environmentally conscious cultivation and business practices every step of the way, leaving behind the smallest possible carbon footprint possible.Handcrafted Organic Cannabis Specialty Products May Help Keep Profit Margins High
With its initial pilotharvest completed last October, Livewire took the first step toward establishing the Estrella Weedery brand. The harvest was carried out by Livewires affiliate company, Estrella River Farms which operates the cultivation on the Estrella property.
ERF is using state-of-the-art techniques to develop a sustainable, organic farm for growing a variety of premium cannabis specialty products. The tractorless cultivation process uses less water, less fertilizer, and no toxic pesticides. The result is high-potency, premium cannabis that takes considerably less water than comparable cultivation processes to produce.
To stay competitive with bigger California producers likeLowell Farms Inc. (OTCQX: LOWLF) or Glass House Brands (OTCQX: GLASF), LiveWires Estrella River Farms is focused on cultivating organic-style specialty products with higher profit margins. By focusing on quality instead of quantity (grow by the pound - sell by the gram), the company hopes to avoid the high cost and low return of mass-produced cannabis.
As the trend toward widespread legalization continues with 52% of Americans living in areas with marijuana legalized in some form, the cost of cannabis has dropped in the United States, sinking to itslowest price in over three years in June. In Canada, nationwide legalization was followed by a 13% drop in price in the first year. Since then, retail prices across categories have continued to dip as more producers entered the space still having to compete with larger illicit sales for market share. While that drop will likely level out, companies with tight margins are going to have a hard time staying competitive without differentiating their products in distinctive ways.
For Livewire, that differentiation comes from quality specialty products, environmentally conscious production, and operating with significantly lower production costs to keep profit margins high.
In addition to its business-to-business sales, the company intends to get its premium Estrella Weedery branded product onto every dispensary shelf in California either as a specialty product under its own brand or as a licensed private-label product under third-party brands. Livewire has also partnered with home-delivery services Kushagram and Green Eagle to deliver its cannabis products directly to consumers.Applying The Tried And True Vineyard Model To Cannabis Cultivation Is Expected Generate Additional Revenue
The ultimate vision at Estrella Ranch is simple: Sell its high-quality specialty products B to B and Direct to Consumers. Ultimately, create an idyllic wellness retreat complete with scenic vistas and currently over 130,000 square feet of sustainably cultivated cannabis, multiple offices, secure storage buildings, and large living quarters. When the project is finished, Livewire hopes to have roughly six (6) acres of outdoor growing area, and 22,000 square feet of indoor cultivation, all while carefully preserving the natural, open landscape of rolling hills and well-watered ranchland.Livewires Plan Is to Generate Multiple Revenue Streams From One Low-Cost Operation
Livewire chose the Estrella Ranch location, in part, for the ideal micro-climate that makes organic, sun-grown outdoor cannabis cultivation possible. In less ideal climates, cultivators typically opt for indoor production to increase yield and compensate for poor weather or lack of sun.
But growing indoors means spending more on energy, facility maintenance, and other expenses that bring median average production costs up to$472 per pound. At Estrella, Livewire says production costs average under $100 per pound for its organic-style outdoor cultivation.
The company states that the lower production cost paired with its plan to eventually generate revenue from the property via a first-of-its-kind cannabis wellness retreat and both direct-to-consumer and business-to-business sales of the cannabis it grows creates the potential for a wide margin and substantial growth potential.
Livewire Ergogenics Inc. focuses on acquiring, managing, and licensing well-qualified cannabis real estate locations to establish fully compliant and permitted facilities to produce cannabis-based products and establish relationships for the statewide distribution of these products in California. This includes developing and licensing high-quality organic cannabinoid-based products and services and creating the high-quality "Estrella Grown Weedery" brand via its subsidiary/affiliate companies Estrella Ranch Partners, Estrella River Farms, Makana Ola, and CaliCruz Farms. LiveWire Ergogenics does not produce, sell, or distribute products that violate the United States Controlled Substances Act.
