The Fed appears to be losing street cred with respect to any rate increase this year, and that will likely be problematic for the regular morning U.S. paper gold slam-downs. I'm guessing most FOMC members will be feverishly jawboning a fictitious rate hike agenda for the balance of the 2016 fiscal fantasy tour.
Paper gold slam-downs seem pretty weak this morning. The HFT's must have mopped up too many of the stop-loss sells on Monday and Tuesday. Oh well, on to the next level, then rinse and repeat.
HFT program trading must be so much fun in SDS!
Paper gold slam-down still on, but losing steam. The elites and their minions at the central banks will probably need to create a new diversion today.
Regular early morning U.S. slam down in paper gold? Check the "yes" box.
Golden Leaf Holdings Ltd. Announces Major Brand
Relaunch for GoldenXTRX Product Line and Recent Awards
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired – May 5, 2016) – Golden Leaf Holdings Ltd. ("GLH" or the "Company") (CSE:GLH), is pleased to announce the unveiling of a new name and look for its award-winning GoldenXTRX brand of premium CO2 extracted cannabis oil products. Starting in late May, the Company is expecting to introduce a revised brand name, new branding, new packaging and new products across its entire dispensary network.
GoldenXTRX will be renamed Golden as part of a rebranding objective to better align the brand’s name with its future strategy and product roadmap. The high quality and innovative cannabis oil products that GoldenXTRX has built its reputation and brand platform on remains unchanged.
“We are excited to unveil our retail brand update, including the new Golden brand name that reinforces our position as the market leader in premium cannabis oil products. As we continue to grow, we’re modernizing the outward expression of the GoldenXTRX brand so that it connects more with consumers seeking aspirational and lifestyle oriented cannabis experiences,“ announced Bliss Dake, GLH’s Chief Marketing Officer.
New Packaging and New Products
In late May, new Golden packaging will launch in dispensaries across Oregon. The new packaging features a visually arresting design with its vibrant yellow color, alluring oil splash and innovative “peek-a-boo” packaging design offering a glimpse of the product within. The new boxes will still contain the same high quality CO2 extract that GoldenXTRX is known for.
In addition to the new packaging, the Company is introducing new CO2 extract product extensions that include a quarter gram vape cartridge and Starter Set to drive trial that comes complete with a one-half gram vape cartridge, battery and USB charger. GLH will also roll out new cannabis flower products under the Golden brand including premium, handcrafted pre-roll joints and bubble hash.
Don Robinson, GLH’s Chief Executive Officer stated, “With the upcoming launch on June 2, 2016 of early “Adult Use” sales of cannabis oil and edible products through medical cannabis dispensaries, we are well poised with our brand makeover and new product launches to capture the attention of new retail consumers. It’s expected that we have a large opportunity to increase revenue and growth.”
New Tagline and Branding
To create the most differentiated brand positioning for consumers with a focus on emotional benefits, GLH is introducing a new “Bliss Vape Pen” brand platform and tagline “No Higher Bliss.” The objective is to bring more energy to the brand with a new brand identity and positioning. To drive brand awareness and demand, GLH will leverage public relations, in-store demo programs and other marketing activities.
BMF Washington Wins Dope Award
GLH’s strategic partner BMF Washington recently won the DOPE Cup 2016 Washington Award for “Best Sativa Flower – Recreational Market” with its Liberty Reach Strawberry Mango Haze. The DOPE Cup is an annual competition and industry event organized by Seattle-based DOPE Magazine that stands for “Defending Our Plant Everywhere.”

From the looks of that spike up just now, I'd say they'd better call someone in early.
Where's the usual paper gold morning slam-down? Is someone asleep at the CB hegemony wheel?
Claude Generates Adjusted Net Earnings of $9.1
Million in Q1
http://www.clauderesources.com/files/doc_news/Claude-Generates-Adjusted-Net-Earnings-of-91-Million-in-Q1.pdf
Hopefully, the Q1 earnings announcement tomorrow morning will be so positive the paper dumpers will at least have to break a sweat.
I don't know why it's so hard to remember the elites know what's coming long before us plebs. Apparently, the word went out from the PTB to dump paper gold with a vengeance. It's amazing how many times it has worked. Fundamentals are totally meaningless on such days.
Anyone have any idea what that opening slam down was about? Kudos to my brokerage (TD Ameritrade) for scooping up shares at the low even though I had my buy price point set 10 cents higher.
Early Recreational Sales of Extracts and Edibles to Commence June 2, 2016 in Oregon
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired – May 2, 2016) – Golden Leaf Holdings Ltd. ("GLH" or the "Company") (CSE:GLH), is pleased to announce that the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), Oregon Department of Revenue and the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) have announced that commencing June 2, 2016, medical dispensaries that are already participating in the early start program, will also be allowed to sell single serving low dose edibles, single receptacles of extract, and topicals to retail consumers.
Currently only flowers are authorized for retail sales to recreational customers in 339 medical dispensaries via the OHA early start program. This change allows for the addition of extracts and edibles to the earlier “Adult Use” sales of cannabis products through the Oregon Medical Marijuana Dispensary Program (OMMDP). The OHA will publish a revised set of temporary administrative rules later this week that will outline the regulatory compliance details.
Once these rules are enacted, Golden Leaf Holdings will be able to sell GoldenXTRX brand CO2 cannabis oil products, Proper brand BHO cannabis oil products and other cannabis based extracts and edibles to adult users.
The long awaited announcement is a welcomed development by the Oregon Cannabis Industry and represents a significant expansion of the retail cannabis market. As when early flowers sales commenced, GLH expects to see another sizable increase in overall cannabis sales. At the time of this announcement, the OLCC also stated that they are on track to roll out the formal recreational, “Adult Use” program in October. This will replace the early start program.
Don Robinson CEO stated, “This is absolutely fantastic news for GLH. It will allow us to service a significant portion of the retail market, that, to date, has been left out of the early sales program. We have the opportunity to increase revenue and resume our growth. The environment is finally starting to settle now that we have greater regulatory clarity.”

Till they pry it from my cold dead hand.
Apparently, AVCVF is trading again.
Newmont beats 1Q profit forecasts
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/04/20/the-associated-press-newmont-beats-1q-profit-forecasts.html
I will probably vote no simply because small shareholders rarely get to know much about the real facts and figures underlying such deals and probably can't affect the outcome anyway. I would guess the major holders have already signed off on the deal, but if not, we should hear something soon. Our near-term fate is more likely tied to the price of gold than the success or failure of this deal.
This may the main culprit for all the selling.

Too bad it wasn't ever really possible to buy at the premarket ask.
Apparently, it was just a head fake.
The ask has dropped to .98 and was as low as .85 in the last 30 minutes. Anyone know if something material has happened or just an amazing BTD opportunity?
It would be nice to hear something from AVCVF concerning the LOI.
"The LOI provides American Vanadium with the exclusive right to enter into a share purchase agreement (“SPA”) on or before February 29, 2016"
March 1st and still no trading in AVCVF.

Here's why AVCVF is halted. I have no idea what to think about it given the disaster this company has been for the last 12 months.

Apparently, AVCVF is halted for some reason. Hopefully, this will be addressed soon, but it doesn't look good at this point.
550,000 shares think you're right today.
Given the time of year, it's more likely someone needed to balance gains on other stocks with a loss on this albatross for tax purposes. I'm just amazed there are that many shares still in the float.

Eleven shares at $15 on 11/11/15 after the eleven on 11/3/15 at 15.0001 I wonder if market makers are just bouncing these 11 shares back and forth for some reason.
Eleven shares at 15.0001 on 11/3/15. I wonder how the calculate .0001 on 11 shares?
I commend your enthusiasm, but I think the referenced trading was nothing more than someone giving up or possibly facing a margin call since the implied value based on the split adjusted price should be well above $200 per share. On the other hand, I still have a few shares myself, so I'm hoping you're right about pending good news.
It looks like someone capitulated yesterday. 466 shares at 17-19.

One is tempted to say it's time to get together as a group of certified creditors and demand some answers to such questions, but I suspect we will simply continue to wait in abject nescience for more crumbs from our ever evolving overlords.
A few trading days of a continually rising share price would get more investor attention than all the recent news releases combined, but as a shareholder I do want to believe they're building a real business, as opposed to a pump and dump shell. However, future growth will require new capital which will be hard to raise if the principals don't appear to believe in the future of the business, as evidenced by their lack of support for a higher share price. Our biggest company detractor here on the ESFS board gains more credibility with each passing day under .02, which based on the news releases is unwarranted, unless......
Management needs to step up and support the share price with share buybacks if for no other reason than to discredit our favorite basher here. All the biggest companies in the U.S. have been doing this for years to support higher share prices - even borrowing the cash to do so. There is no good excuse for not executing this simple maneuver. None, unless.........
One share, one freaking share, at $25 yesterday. Epic!
