Does Chester do anything besides sign the quarterly report, sell more of his shares and cash his paychecks (earned for all of his "work")?
Is MNTR's renting a room is his very nice Texas house paying for his mortgage?
the stock will move on speculation if the bill in Congress ever gets passed to legalize marijuana otherwise it's dead
Will Chester allow stockholders tohave an annual meeting?

SEC to make Chester justify his high salary?
Please read the article linked at the bottom of the post.
Would Chester have to use positive performance to justify his high salary?
Does MNTR consistently losing money justify his high salary?
Does sending $600,000 to someone somewhere for "loan insurance" justify his high salary?
(Maybe Chester will use the money from his continuing sale of MNTR stock to repay MNTR for this "interesting" business decision.)
Does taking MNTR stock from over $8.00 a share to around 5 or 6 cents a share justify his high salary?

VIDEOSCannabis: Harvesting the 600% Growth, Without Taking a Hit |
Management Today Magazine: ![]() Click to Read Full Article Portfolio & Investments |
Metro Capital, Inc. (MNTR) is a public company that invests in medical and social use cannabis companies. Mentor takes a 10% to 60% position in the family of participating companies, but leaves operating control firmly in the hands of the cannabis company founders. Because adult social use and medical marijuana opportunities often overlap, Mentor Capital also participates in the legal recreational marijuana market. However, Mentor’s preferred focus is medical, and the company seeks to facilitate the application of cannabis to cancer wasting, calming seizures and Parkinson disease, reducing ocular pressures from glaucoma, and blunting chronic pain.
Mentor’s approach and capital structure allows its shareholders to buy an additional $140 million of Mentor shares at approximately a 12.5% discount. As money is sent in to buy into the growing cannabis portfolio, the proceeds are split pro rata amongst the cannabis companies that are participating in the indirect sale in order to receive funding. As more private cannabis companies join in the consortium, the higher the MNTR share price is pushed, other things being equal. The increasing share price increases the exercise of stock options and warrants by both Mentor Capital’s 1,500 mostly accredited shareholders and the public market in general. Using this approach, Mentor can deliver a higher price to founders for a smaller slice of their business. Retaining control and receiving more cash are the two key advantages to cannabis founders working with Mentor Capital, Inc.
Only 3% of the illegal marijuana market has, at the beginning of 2014, been shifted into the legal sector. This implies a 30x potential increase in the size of the cannabis market upon the eventual realization of a federal lifting of the prohibition on cannabis, if lifted for both medical and adult social use. The 30x implied illegal to legal potential market shift may be one factor in why the market capitalization sof some public cannabis companies are in the 30x revenue (i.e. sales) range. The $1.4 Billion legal cannabis market is forecast to grow by 63% during 2014. It is important to note that this 63% annual increase in sales or even the entire 30x potential increase requires no true growth in the overall cannabis market or other growth in cannabis usage. The modeled growth is satisfied, in our understanding, by the shifting of cannabis buyers to legal sellers rather than them risking buying through any remaining illegal channels. The $50 Billion market already exists and does not need to be developed, just shifted over. Antidotal evidence in Denver indicates that illegal channels are already expressing resentment toward the decline in street sales because of the shift to legal, controlled cannabis sale.
To lead and capture a major portion of the potential 30 times increase in the legal cannabis market Mentor Capital's investing strategy is:
1) Be first with significant public money
2) Quickly roll up the best cannabis participants in a public vehicle
3) Bring a high level of character and business professionalism to the marijuana investing sector
Mentor is authorized (almost like a group IPO) to raise $140 million from the public market and is committing those funds to the cannabis companies that join in the cooperative portfolio, trading a slice (10% to 60%) of their business in exchange for public market funding. To Mentor's knowledge, Mentor Capital is the first public company to commit this level of a cash raise to the cannabis market.
In any very rapidly growing situation, companies need large amounts of capital to keep pace with the growth opportunity. It is hoped that the cannabis firms Mentor funds will have a significant advantage in absorbing a large share of the expected business expansion.
In order to apply the $140 million fully and quickly, Mentor Capital has been very aggressive in recruiting cannabis companies to secure their share of a funding portfolio. A very high price in future proceeds is offered, against the backstop of starting within a $1.4 Billion legal market and looking to expand to encompass the $50 billion already existing illegal market, all implying a 30x market growth.
The current public market multipliers are in the 30x to 80x revenues range. This, quite possibly because there is a projected near term market growth of 30 times. Almost any reasonably solid, well-financed company will do well in this sort of environment. Mentor is quite experienced in picking solid companies and even very high offers will still be much less than 30x revenues. This all gives encouragement to green light a roll up of the best available cannabis companies in each sector and region. This investment and acquisition approach may have an expectedly high return but surprisingly low business risk, in our examination.
A final plank in the Mentor Capital investment strategy is qualitative and is pushing to bring a high degree of business professionalism and transactional integrity to the marijuana public market. As a first, the CEO voluntarily placed all of his MNTR shares in escrow with a law firm. This, to address the widespread concerns that pump and dump schemes are prevalent in the medical marijuana market. Additionally, the CEO is taking the role of the non-user, designated driver in this cannabis industry involvement. Finally, following from the West Point, Harvard, General Electric formal approach to the world, all interactions are structured to be 100% business and win-win-win. In an open way all business transactions should be a win for Mentor, for cannabis founders, and the investing public.
This formal, win-win-win, all business approach is a natural one for Mentor Capital. Management hopes in this way to attract the cannabis founders of the best cannabis brands. These founders are brought together with conservative investors who are still looking for a solid business approach within this extraordinary opportunity.
Chester Billingsley is a native of Minnesota, born in 1952. He received a congressional appointment and did his undergraduate work at West Point. Later he went to graduate school at Harvard University where he received a Master’s Degree in Applied Physics with concurrent study at Harvard Business School and at MIT studying proton radiology as applied to difficult to treat cancers, in conjunction with Mass General Hospital.
Mr. Billingsley spent the major portion of his early career at General Electric in technical sectors in project, turn-around and international management positions. In 1985 he formed Tech Start, the predecessor to Mentor Capital in the heart of Silicon Valley. He has held the general manager or president position since that time.
In 1995 he took the firm public and has had lead responsibility in the Tech III Partners, Cambridge Equity Partners, and Mentor Investors I, LP financial partnerships. He has directed the successful acquisition or investment in thirty-six operating business or entities.
Mr. Billingsley is a conservative, 61 years old, non-using businessman. In August 2013, he led the surprising but science-based decision to take Mentor Capital into the medical marijuana space. The goal was to pursue an alternative approach to fighting cancer while seeing significant shareholder returns.
As a public company pioneer in the legal cannabis space, Mr. Billingsley became a founding director and officer of the board of directors of the Nevada Cannabis Industry Association in November 2013.
