wonderful recap schmelzy...not able to attend..ty.
Still think the online store is a month or so 'out there' as I can't fathom TAAT supplying the influx of orders with 102 stores, 1,000 gas stations, Crossmark mega exposure coming into the picture, reddit, WSJ, Forbes orders and who knows what else comes in that we aren't even aware of. More production capacity on a 'large scale' is required immediately IMO. Vegas can't even supply 2% of it! with no more capacity capability 'for awhile'
Setti has aces up his sleeve for immediate production and delivery on demand ...starting the day of the online store activation. Some huge entity with production capability to match just HAS to be working behind the scenes. Don't shoot me but they must be 'producing TAAT cigarettes as I type this post'. What other answer could there be? Opening the online store next week IMO would be demand/delivery suicide...and hobble this company in its' tracks before they really get started. I don't think that Crossmark wants any part of that scenario. They ABSOLUTELY KNOW that Setti has the ability to 'deliver' product once they cast the hook in the water to 100,000 stores. They know what Setti knows...that's why they signed the agreement without reservation...I'm just sayin'
Only my 2 cents....all the best TAATers
stay safe...stay well
IMO only one BIG question should remain for TAATs 6mo. birthday (or close to it)? Did they perform exceptionally well? (loss to be sure) given only a PARTIAL Q return that incurred intense essential STARTUP expenditures in every category, initiating a BOGO kickstart to fuel the rollout (1/2 revenue) and adding addition staff and experts in their field of expertise into the fold. Only a partial list without a doubt, but IMO a 'loss' should be taken by the street with a measure of understanding and utilizing 'what they know' about startup growing pains. Building a company with a disruptive product is a convoluted process without a doubt..and pretty damn expensive coming from a standing start.
IMO Q1 numbers should at the very least show that they are spending responsibly in all of the right areas essential to begin taxiing down the runway (plus a few that may be a little 'out there'..lol). Success of the rollout (acceptance, penetration and repeat users) marketing accomplishments and freebies (gas stations, convenience stores, Crossmark, trademark and foreign advancement, you tube, reddit, WSJ and Forbes) plus the 'holy grail to date the 'ONLINE STORE'.(missed a bunch of others I'm sure).
Settis/Tim's forward looking and financial guidance statements for Q2, in my mind, is the starting gun for the track meet of the first to market player to garner the upper hand in this space.
Q2 performance will either prove to be a Q of excellence or a flatline, but whatever the numbers turn out to be, it will set the stage for comparison that every other Q for the remainder of '21 and early '22 will be pitted against.
Consider throwing in wild success of the online store, US state expansions, patent award and escalating acceptance overseas (driven by 'our $$ friends') plus events we can't even anticipate at this points in the next 6mo... could be off the charts successful for Q2-3 and.4.
The street can 'sell the news' when Q1 is reported if they wish to 'roll their eyes' at the results, but they will look pretty damn foolish by the time #2 comes around.
stay safe...stay well.
Per chance.. are you somehow related to David Copperfield??
Can't speak for the group but your accomplishment in a matter of minutes demonstrates how collective minds driving decisive action are able to just slide 'apparently immoveable objects' out of ones path.. with little effort.
All it takes is the desire to 'make it happen' and the commitment to follow through by whatever means required to achieve success. Very few will go to such lengths and just live with the status quo....forever.
all the best...ty shs
A true man of action that follows through with his thoughts and beliefs.
Refreshing to say the least...'Impressive' in this case is much more appropriate.
Hope to hear more from you shs (no offense but at 71 I get finger cramps trying to type out your whole screen name...lol). Just call me hr, hr12x, 12x, or whatever you wish...will respond to all. I'm sure I've been called worse, but haven't we all?
stay safe..stay well
welcome shs..much appreciated and well thought out post about our little gem.
The reddit 'pennies from heaven' boost seemed to come out of the blue, but in my mind...TAAT/tobaf justifiably 'earned' a top spot on his WATCH LIST/ ALERT MY FOLLOWERS LIST/ BUY LIST! if he isn't already a shareholder.
Forbes is still talking about this shyte. Forbes???...get 'outa here. They won't touch anything that isn't significant enough to pick up on their radar screen after being filtered ten times. We may just be a genuine phenomenon. So insignificant that we can't be taken seriously but can silently burrow our way into the industry then come out smokin' (lol) with worldwide percentage share of the market that will open a hell of a lot of HUUUGE financial eyeballs. Naww...never happen. Setti thinks HUGE and is obviously coming out with all of the (calculated and timely) firepower he has prepared to muster.
On the mark shs with the Reddit entourage finally catching up and giving us a significant kick start. Timing couldn't be better with the Crossmark news, Setti on Facebook, immanent 'on line store' activation...and...and...and lol!!
Uplisting has most likely been on Settis' list of action points (not to be confused with achievements) that fuels the path for the companys' ultimate success.
And I agree. AFTER the online store, which I feel is #1 (may still be 1-2 months away yet in Q1) most certainly pursuing an uplist should be of the highest priority as we would, by then, have assuredly crossed over the threshold of any question impeding acceptance.
Should that process be strung out for any reason..if the patent were to be awarded by mid summer then I can't imagine the uplist not being awarded. The PPS by then in all likelihood might be/or north of.. $6-$8 usd/cad.
Trash the Malori shyte is something I'm sure anyone here would agree with and should have happened as soon as the connection became irrelevant.
Thank you again scarryhairysafari...good stuff
stay safe, stay well
beginning to move the needle now in the last hour. Would hate to be short in the morning not knowing what will be coming out of Settis' mouth tomorrow.
stay safe... stay well!
Astute prediction Al 100..being conservative will most always prevent you from putting your foot in your mouth. (lol)
stay safe...stay well
do ya think this company knows what the hell they'r doin'?
We just fell in to the honeypot....and it tastes reeeealy good.
lolololo...hahaha...tehetehe...rolfmao!!
they've had it coming for a looong..loooong time!!
wonderful stuff schmelzy...thank you for keeping us all informed.
Intense marketing and promotional expertise through a wide angle lens with powerful reach is what we have all been clambering for since the launch began. Now it's here and it's 'real'.
TAAT just keeps piling up the trophies on the junior circuit...time to begin training to win gold at the Olympics.
Another elevator drop taking out stops and stealing more cash. Gotta have ice in your veins 'AND KNOW WHAT YOU OWN' to hang in here for 15 rounds!
thank you for the kudos mauiguy2, but I wouldn't be here if it weren't for a tip from 'happyglass'.
yesterday was just a snippet of amazing things to come for TAAT. IMO the potential is limitless and after some foreplay here in '21 we will race there faster than a tesla on 'insane' mode.
shameful what happened to the pps overnight, but not to worry..the cavalry is coming. all the best to you!
my apology for the botched post. have no clue what happened other than someone or something didn't enjoy the content of what I was posting...lol. I will now continue.
Given the recent 'great news' for TAAT, this fall from grace in 24 hrs is absurd. Taking profits is normal and advisable in many cases but this is waaay more than 'some investors' taking profits.
when the dark side wants your money..THEY JUST STEAL IT... and they always have a green light to do so. disgusting!!!

Awesome insightful perspective happyglass as to how TAAT may be able to produce millions of sticks a week/day.
As a group we are now drilling down for a possible and credible answer as to how TAAT may be able to address the company's supply constraint issue. Setti may have previously 'set up and cleverly 'cloaked' a manufacturing and US statewide delivery agreement with a significant and reliable supplier that would 'service the need' for EVERY ORDER that comes in from all marketing efforts that TAAT has initiated (plus those that come in from out of the blue...lolo)...for a stipulated period of time of course.
An outside source to assist in production?...very possible as Setti knows he can't go this alone with only the LV facility.
happy..I and others here on the board Im sure appreciate your efforts to open our eyes and thoughts to 'possibilities'. For what it's worth, I'm a believer in your theory.
I assuredly do respect your opinion Al 100 but the potential numbers of demand are overwhelming in the face of what puny manufacturing capability TAAT is presently capable of. Doubling next to nothing is merely more than nothing when one has now..lets face it.. driven worldwide interest with worldwide demand that will follow...rapidly!!
I appreciate your comment Al 100 as that is exactly what I was attempting to inspire. Inspire discussion about an UNAVOIDABLE situation that the company, given its' present production capabilities, has absolutely no chance in hell of meeting the upcoming commitments. Who knows. How would TAAT be able to anticipate the huge reaction to the launch let alone have the mechanism in place that possesses the ability to produce product of this magnitude.. and warehousing stockpiles of it for shipping at the drop of a hat.
IMO..there JUST HAS TO BE something else going on behind the scenes that enables production to meet the imminent demand.
It's a puzzle for me and there is one missing on the floor that I'm not able to find.
Given the immense boost in exposure and a million shares of interest today, I am as concerned as ever that TAAT WILL NOT be able to satisfy all of the customers with product in a timely manner. The new 'online store' purchases, 1000 gas stations needs and the bogo requests for refills.. haven't even hit the order line yet. To say it without pulling any punches..we are f'ed if we can't deal with this and fill every f'ing order and have countless pallets staged and sitting in the wings prepared to hit the bricks on demand.
Ever want to purchase a bottle of Jack Daniels and worry about the store not having any on the shelf to feed your need'? NO..'cause they have thousands of barrels aging in anticipation of the demand. TAAT is not Jack Daniels but the analogy applies. If the supply dries up, the demand dries out!!
Call me a nervous nellie, but if the water hole is dry, who could deny that the beasts then go in search of another watering hole?...never to come back.
Feedback anyone as to how TAAT will be able to meet this enormous challenge of insatiable demand? Immense demand that would assuredly break the camels back while in the midst of a dead run to become one of the most influential and disruptive companies in the history of the market.
Help please...this concerns me more than the daily share price up or down. How do we not crash from the inability to supply product to the masses that we have created... F'ck... be careful what you wish for.
stay safe..stay well.
tryTAAT store locator site has been shut down for hours and still is as I couldn't access it just 5 min. ago. It now shows that the last update was 1/11/21 which we all know was updated on 1/29/21 with 102 stores .It's been assumed that it crashed from an influx of demand for info, but what if it was an intentional company shutdown for an update about 'Online Store' information that may be immanent? hmmm
What a bizarre last few days which continues to be so. I don't anticipate that it will stop or slow down until the shorts and detractors have run to more fertile ground and Setti exhausts his supply of depth charges..which doesn't seem likely anytime soon.
stay safe..stay sell.
I think they may have skipped a few already happy in order to arrive where they stand now in just 6 mo.(but whose looking and who cares lolol).
Talk about gaps the a chart of a stock that must be retraced to fill sooner or later.!! well maybe...
The gaps in this company's leap from where we are to where we are heading will look like dropping M&Ms (with ten feet gaps between) leading the followers to where we have been and to where we were going.
Going ..going ..gone!! Catch me now or catch me later. You had the opportunity but you froze...FAT CHANCE NOW!
stay safe...stay well 'Milady happy' and all you staunch TAATERS that hung in being drug through the mud...again and again. Kudos to all.
AWESOME!!...what else is there to say but 'this is only the start'...the first day of grabbing a nice piece of a trillion dollar industry in less time than many think. FOMO will run rampant way after the shorts have fled the coop with their pants on fire and I'm Sure Setti has more rabbits in his hat!
This may just make up for my last two major f'ups in the market....in just ONE week!! unfathomable.
stay safe...stay well TAATers
you will ALWAYS be the first one to know happy...lolol
ty again for your input happy...but who is going to roll millions of sticks each week or each day and get them out the door on time to satisfy the hoard of needy customers that want their TAAT and want it NOW before they run out?
Plenty of hemp available is critical but if you are incapable of turning it into smokeable TAATs for distribution....that ain't good.
Setti has this conundrum well in hand (IMO). If not...time to find another promising company to invest in.
Hopefully all of this positive action with the online store and who knows what else that lies ahead will temper the streets view of our first (partial) Q numbers and consider the circumstances facing a new startup.
First Q with no historical data for comparison, a partial quarter of sales beginning in Dec that included a startup bogo promo that cut the profits in half. On the upside almost NO advertising cost (I assume).
If all of the irons we have in the fire don't count for something that will send Q2 into orbit then the market can have their piece of flesh...for now!!
But by March (when we report??) and are on fire, Q1 numbers may not even be relevant and just tossed out the window as a practice round. No worries about 'sell the news'. IMO all eyes and ears (and money) will be on the forward guidance to be delivered by Setti and honchos in the conference call the next day.
As much as TAAT will be disruptive in their industry..this week has been just as disruptive in moving the company 'off dead center' unjustifiably viewed by many investors as stagnant and too conservative in the company's news reporting and progress.
Setti is probably sitting in his office today smoking a TAAT and saying' how do you like me now'??....lol go TAAT go! the Christmas tree just lit GREEN. (love the smell of burnin' rubber..smells like money).
extremely comprehensive and accurate piece schmelzy...and getting out there in the techno flow of information will reap countless rewards for TAAT...very well put together, nice job!!
ty for the link..now we can follow those that will follow lol.
the phone calls between the top brass at PM have surly burnt up the lines this weekend.
Would give anything to be 'a fly on the wall' in their board room in the morning with a mic/recorder stuck to the underside of the table.
I hope I get more than 2 hrs sleep tonight. Germany opens at 2AM in Colorado. Already have the coffee pot timer set, heart pills next to the night stand and called in late for work tomorrow.
Think I'm ready...bring it on!
wonderful year this month...lol schmelzy. how about a wonderful year THIS WEEK? ty for going to 'lengths' to get the word out.
Please keep us informed on the 'likes' situation. A poster on Stock House said that he posted some TAAT information and a link to their website on wallstreetbets and got 2000 views in the first hour.
I'd say the word is getting out!!
I say once again...HOW THE HELL IS TAAT GOING TO SATISFY THE DEMAND that's obviously right in their backyard NOW..as I type!!!
Consider:
102 stores selling
60% re-order rate
positive youtube testimonials piling up
1000 gas stations
10,000 gas pumps advertising constantly for 2 months
38 states filled with bogo users (that most likely want and NEED MORE TAAT)
imminent online store opening soon (feb? mar?)
Keith Gill with TAAT at the top of his list (watch list? invested already?)
WALL STREET JOURNAL article touting TAAT. (how huge is THAT!)
and that is only a partial list that is in play, on the surface.
Trying to wrap my head around this as demand outstripping supply by who knows how many 'fold', would most likely be the death knell for any retail company.
I've thrown a thought out there about PM production capabilities possibly being in the mix somehow.
Would love to hear any other thoughts and ideas, because once the online store goes live 'the shit is going to hit the fan for orders' and we better be able to service ALL of our customers...promptly!!! thanks
stay safe...stay well

who knows what the cad/us markets will be at the open in the morning. Could be 30% less but wgas...we are finally on our way. The shorts that are left are getting nervous, the Reddit crowd has been alerted about TAAT by their CEO and FOMO will have finally hit the nail biting sideline sitters.
tehetehe...this week should a free for all barn burner!! GL TAATers

astute information RGT.. but for the near term?? News travels fast when BIG money is to be had. Slow on the trigger in the old west and you got a bullet in the forehead. Now if you are lucky, slow on the 'buy button' and you may only miss out on tens of thousands of $$$.
Mondays' open will have most investors in TAAT gulping for air with sweaty palms. Anyone with a weak heart?...take your pills as directed to prepare.
Next week should be a barn burner, especially if the shorts begin running for the exits as the FOMO and reddit crowd begins rushing in. Too much to rationally process for me after being shackled for months. This could be the jail break that we have anticipated, salivated over and been frustrated by slow progress (lack of information) of a 6mo. old company....ONLY 6 friggin' months OLD!! and look where we are now!!
No more whining. TAAT mgmt obviously has a firm grip on the reigns. Grab a seat, make some popcorn, smoke a TAAT, drink a beer...and enjoy the show. This one promises to be up for at least 15 Academy Awards...and will win all of them!!
stay safe...stay well
think 500k to a million shares traded Mon is absurd?? hmmm.. The pump job on the WSJ will create amazing traction for TAATs pps near term. But imagine the e-commerce, numbers from 1000 gas stations (today for starters), patent approval, uplist and other gems that we can't even imagine piling on the visibility, accolades and big money eyeballs that could take this thing almost anywhere..
HOW THE HELL are they going to process enough product to even service 10% of the impending demand. I won't second guess Setti though. He knows doubling production is only 'peeing in the ocean'. He has something else in the works to keep up with what's coming.
This expansion timeline just went into orbit (of compression that is) and I don't believe that he hasn't anticipated it. IMO he has a rabbit in the hat that is coming out soon. Could PM be in the game behind the scenes with their production capabilities to make sure we don't step on our dick??... for a nice cut of the action of course!! Not sure that PM and Setti are enemies preventing them from having already 'made a deal'. (at least in principle).
How else could we produce millions of sticks a week (or day??..lol)...worldwide!

excuse me while I change my pants..I just made a puddle on the floor under my computer!!
Thank You rigdowntex....biiiig news!!
here is a link to the facebook tweet for those that couldn't access the WSJ
