Royal CBD site has a new look. Getting ready for a launch?
https://royal-cbd.com
Ha! You’re not that old Juice. Certs we’re back in the fraction days. They made good graduation gifts back in the buy and hold days.
The domain royalcbd-gmbh.ch used to be registered to:
Sandro Graf
Gerhardstrasse 5
CH-8003 Zürich
Switzerland
...but now looks to be a Wix site in Tel Aviv (as of 5/21/18).
The .ch indicates a domain from Switzerland (probably from the original domain registration), but there is an error message in German if you try to sign up and don't do it right. Huh?
However, there is a nugget here. On the site there is some hidden text, but IDK if it is old or new. It says:
This is the official Page of Royal CBD. We're selling CBD flowers and clones for the swiss market. Europe is coming soon!
Key words for (SEO) search are: royal cbd, cbd, premium cbd, cbd blüten, cbd schweiz, swiss cbd, bestes cbd, cbd kaufen, buy CBD, best cbd
Title page (SEO) searches are: About us | Royal CBD | Swiss Premium CBD
So, while this does seem interesting, I'm not sure VPOR is ready to get into selling buds as the above hidden text suggests. It would be nice, but that seems pretty far away from their historic past. Then again, maybe that's why Yaniv has been out of the country?
Interesting, thanks G.
Looks like that is a Swiss site, with technical questions being routed through Wix. Strange that they would make this kind of a switch on tech.
I'll do some more digging later tonight.
Looks like that article is four months old.
Agreed, they are creative. Stay on the right side of them and you should be ok.
Thanks for SoS info. I’ll see what I can dig up a bit later.
Maybe the legal issues with Dror will prevent him from continuing?
I smell more shell games.
Jorge, pencils down! Time is up.
Yeah, it was about as hostile as a firm handshake, slap on the back and a wink.
I don't think so.
Let me guess, the next PR will be a merger.
Nothing yet but maybe at COB?
Today is also the day that Dror’s response is due.
Being able to answer this should be required DD for everyone.
Who’s on first?
They were serious with the grinder last year, but that was then - not now.
No more contract discussions, distributors or trade shows. Not even a mention of Q4 grinder results or deals. No California, no Canada, no anything. Almost as if they walked away from it.
No Royal update and no crypto update either, just crickets.
Anybody talk to them recently?
As it should. This was a train wreck from the word go.
With no revenue, no Alpine, no disclosures and litigation up the bazoo, I see a few possibilities:
Ummm, well, maybe only two: it goes to zero, or the mother of all PRs.
Can't wait for the PR on these Fins. Spin doctors to the rescue? At least they can say less of a loss this year.
Yeah, it's really a shame the amount of effort Y went through to bring a very good product to market, only to see it wither away - or should I say taken away?
What do you say we pool our money and make them an offer for the EG? With this MC, shouldn't take too many of us to make that happen.
And surprise, surprise! Fins delayed on this ticker, too.

As noted, fins delayed until 4/13.

I see G cut to the chase... thanks.
Here are all the disclosures so you can follow the paper trail:
https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/RCGR/disclosure
Or that they are already far down the path with a major winery and are too distracted to respond to new opportunities? IDK, but even when the cork was over on the other ticker I was concerned about execution.
You seem to have validated that there is interest in the cork, which is good. Thank you for that insight. But there was also interest in the grinder when they brought that to market and that other ticker is a mess right now.
Great ideas for sure, but execution drives success. With so few meaningful updates it is difficult to determine their progress. When you run the numbers on the wine industry this opportunity sounds too good to be true. However, since this a licensing deal much of that execution and operational risk is deferred. Even so, deals have to be completed and things can go south in the blink of an eye. Having a full pipeline is good business, missing out on potential new customers - not so much.
Make no mistake though, Dror knows exactly what the opportunity is here. The question is to what extent does he allow the shareholders to participate?
With a MC of only ~2.5mm, and some percentage allocated towards crypto, I’m curious why there hasn’t been any discussion of the possibility of an EG buyout. With such a great product and all of the activity in the MJ space these days surely somebody would be interested at this valuation.
EGs now $70 on Dror's site, ezgrinder.com
Really, which ones? The 24hr one west of the Wynn didn’t even know what an EG was a couple of weeks ago.
All hail the mighty Pump!
Yes, I see where the chart takes us back to 3. I’m hoping we don’t have enough time to get there before fins, but I have concerns with fins anyway.
I don’t recall the last event they pitched the grinder at, and it looks like they skipped the recent ASD show in Vegas. Ugh.
Hope you’re wrong, but I wouldn’t be surprised. I still have some dry powder should it happen.
Yeah, I’m still here. Averaged down a bunch today. Moth to the flame, I guess.
Desert Cart is a UAE biz. Nice find SP! Price converts to about $80 US.
Reasonable grinder numbers, a decent forward looking view and a typical sector multiple would bring a pps that most here would be happy with.
Current hype around crypto, in relation to this ticker, just isn’t cutting it.
Yaniv needs to focus on an image improvement strategy and PRs that actually improve pps Without that, a reasonable multiple just won’t happen. I don’t have voting rights but my holding is significant and would be noticed should I decide to move on. The grinder is such a well designed product I would hate to leave it, but execution is key and my target criteria is fast approaching.
Wow, those Ts and Cs are really disappointing.
Yeah, we all have our dreams, eh?
Never hurts to ask!
And please include a mention of awesome Dec sales, v2 of the grinder and happy distribution channels that are reordering 10k units at a time. Maybe even a Euro or down under update?
Yes, the devil is in the details. Lots of shares with high conversion rates lurking. Absolutely need to dig into the details of the elephant in the room.
PPS movement here is all hype so far, ahead of the coming dilution. Buyer beware.
Think of it this way. If half the value of VPOR was due to grinder sales and the other half was due to cork sales, then splitting the company would mean your investment's value was also split up (in half).
Issuing shares in the cork keeps you "whole" between the two tickers. Of course, that is only the initial valuation and they will each soon trade their own way.
With them just off-loading the debt to another ticker and a decent about of sales in Nov, I'm curious about your thoughts about what would drive a R/S at this time?
Cleaning up the balance sheet seems to be a step in the right direction for this ticker.
The crypto hype will continue until the A/S is blown up and the new shares are issued. Disappointed holders will drop their shares, adding to the downward pressure. Those in the know will act on this as a buying opportunity. Then, a cork deal will be announced or hinted at and a new run will begin.
Sprinkled in will be disclosures about legal settlements that are being resolved by share issuance. New products and initiates may come up and will be funded with new shares issued as collateral. Rinse, repeat.
However, if a reasonable cork deal can be had, things will get very interesting.
If RCGR stays away from the weed sector, it may allow for debt obligations to be obtained from reputable sources and Guido can go pound sand.
If you believe the cork is real and a deal will happen, then moving the debt here makes a ton of sense for both tickers. The grinder will have been released from an unserviceable debt obligation and will be able to make a real go of it on its own.
A cork deal for even a few pennies per bottle will quickly remove ALL of the debt here. Do the math on 10% of the annual distribution of just one California winery.
- Insert rant here -
All in all, both tickers moving into crypto is a major disappointment for me. It highlights the opportunistic nature of questionable actions. No previous expertise had ever been mentioned in this area. I understand expertise can be purchased/obtained, but that doesn't seem to be the MO here. Personally, I would like to see formal separation of crypto activities into stand alone businesses and be staffed accordingly. - End rant -
Do you recall the reference to Richard Goulding, and how he is/was involved with VPOR?
Randall Goulding submitted the CO registration and was once convicted of money laundering.
David Goulding was also charged; his brother.
Dr. Richard Goulding is the CEO of POTN. Is this the same Richard you have reference to?
Three brothers?
Thanks SP! I got the last 4 @ 15. What a steal!
