Come on, Mr. Prez!!! The people are standing there waiting. And please talk about how this is going to cause the Hemp and CBD industry to soar!!!!!!!

Mitch, you had better be there too and take in some of the glory for our good ole State for pushing this trough.

I haven't held out anything. All my cards are on the table for all to see. I live in Kentucky. I can speak German with a Hillbilly accent. I'm half Italian and full Catholic. I was a former news anchorman for ABC-TV in Kentucky, and former Press Secretary to the Governor here. Rand Paul is my neighbor. I'm not too fond of Yankees, not the baseball team (Ha). I'm 71. I'm deep in debt and I own a shitload of CVSI, hoping it will eradicate that debt. Did I leave anything out, besides I'm highly intelligent and good looking?! :))))

CVSI . . . . LONG AND STRONG!!!

So . . . Was ist los? Bon jour?

No, I'm not forgetting. My comments came because many people on this board keep talking about how this company is ripe for picking right now and could be bought out. My questions concerned what IF they were bought out. I didn't predict they would sell. I didn't advocate that they sell. And, I personally do not WANT them to sell. At least not anytime soon!

And 'thank you' to the others on here who responded to my post. So, it appears it will be a toss-up as to whether CVSI being bought out would bring us all small fortunes or just cut us off right when the stock was beginning to soar.

Excuse my novice questions.

What happens if CVSI is bought out by a big conglomerate? We are forced to sell our stock to the new company and CVSI is dissolved?

Are we granted new shares in the new company?

No matter what happens, do us current stock holders make a killing off of this?

I base those questions on a stock I once owned that in a short time period went from $2.00 a share to over $40 a share and the company was bought out by another. Once the dust settled, I was forced to cash in my stocks (had no choice) for the price it was the day they signed the papers. It was really good for me on the short end of it, but I was very disappointed I couldn't continue to ride the future growth. I could not even buy shares in the new company. It was a private arrangement.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Great one!

If I'm not mistaken they use the Co2 method of extraction. If I'm wrong, someone correct me please.

I think we have left the $3.00's in the review mirror . . . forever!

Yes, ap17 . . . it's amazing that CVSI hasn't tanked and is just floating around in decent numbers. Staying in close parameters without falling hard.

I don't want to be a "Debbie Downer", but I want to follow up on my post from yesterday about how all the recent interest rate increases are killing the stock market. I agree that the nation's debt is a major problem, but this from "Money Morning" helps substantiate that the Feds have moved too quickly on rate hikes.

------------------------------------------------------------------
There’s a stock market crash just around the corner.

And the trigger – runaway corporate debt – is something few are talking about.


This has been brewing for years, forged from the extraordinary measures taken to dig the economy out of its last mess – the 2008 financial crisis.
And when it strikes, it will cost unprepared investors dearly. That’s why you need to start paying attention to this now.

“Corporates, not consumers or banks, will cause [the] next recession,” Michael Hartnett, Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s chief investment strategist, told clients in a note in September.

One reason you don’t hear too much about the corporate debt crisis is that it sounds dull and hard to understand (there’s some truth to that).

Another reason is that until the past year or so, historically low interest rates had kept the corporate debt crisis at bay. Low rates meant low, affordable payments – even for companies that were loaded with debt.

Years of low rates encouraged companies to use debt to finance everything from stock buybacks to huge corporate merger deals.

But that started to change when the U.S. Federal Reserve began hiking interest rates in 2015 from near-zero to 2.25%. And several more increases are expected next year.

Approximately $3.5 trillion worth of corporate debt will come due in the next three years – which means it will need to either be paid off or refinanced at higher interest rates. As more debt rolls over, the stress on companies’ balance sheets will rise.

That spells trouble for the bond markets, over-leveraged companies – and the stock market.

All I ask is for this stock to go over $5.00 today and that will help me rest easier. Just notch it up by a few cents each day . . .

That was a very well thought out post. You differed with me politely and made some very good observations. While I know the big picture in your message is true about our debt load, I just know it is personally affecting me. My stocks . . . ALL of them . . . are so far in the hole I don't know if they will ever get out, plus 7% at the bank now is really tough on my business. I remember as a kid back in the 1950's and early 1960's, interest stayed stuck on 6% for AGES. I don't really remember it moving very much until Jimmy Carter.

Agree!!! Great post! MAGA 2020

The biggest economic force in Europe is Germany, and it was just announced they are having a major economic decline. When this happens, usually France and the rest of the surrounding countries also go into the rapid fall. If this crap keeps up, we will be facing a world wide economic crash. The rest of the world could spit and sputter and it would make no difference to us IF the Feds had not tampered with the interest rates. Bad, bad timing on their part. The interest rate on my once 3.2% Business Line of Credit will go from 6.50% to 7.00% after this rate increase. Everything else keeps going UP like utilities, insurance, health costs, etc. The average working man can't survive in this type of volatility.

Just saw on TV where the stock market is having the worst December since 1931. This is being attributed to the Feds and all their interest rate hikes. I think the President has done a great job with the economy and now the Feds are in the process of destroying the complete stock market. I hope he intervenes somehow before the next increase due later this week. Here we have a robust and rocking economy and then interest rate BS comes along and tanks it.
Shameful!!!

I could never tell!!! Your grammar is better than most people's on this board! :)))

By the way, if you don't mind I'd like to know what language it is that is your primary one. I am fascinated by similarity is languages.
Mike

You just described ME! I don't want no nutrition, I just want to feel better. Ha.

The Feds announced they are going to raise interest rates AGAIN this week!

Please, God . . . be kind to us this week. Watch over and protect our CVSI stock and my other POS stocks that are tanking!!! Amen.

Is the bill on the President's desk yet? I would think he would sign it within a day or two after getting it.

Pelosi's son is an invested board member in Freedom Leaf MJ, for whatever that's worth to this discussion. I think he is a VP.


I actually believe President Trump would not deep-six this. I think if he saw the majority of the country leaning toward legalization of MJ, I believe he would support it. While I usually don't have much love for progressives, (because they tend to want to go too far), I hope you are right about progressives pushing this forward.

Now, since I'm from Kentucky I'll make this comment. While Sen. McConnell has been a champion of the Farm Bill and Hemp plant production, I think he would vehemently be opposed to legalization of MJ. Why? Because the religious voter base here usually pushes against anything deemed immoral. A lot of votes would be at stake. We are a state of paradoxes. We are the Bourbon capital of the world, and have gambling through the race horse industry and the state run lottery. But in pockets all over this state you will see opposition to new bars,liquor outlets, strip clubs, nightclubs, even dance halls opening. Many 'local option' elections each year. I saw a liquor referendum here in the county in which I live that has been defeated for over 50 years, PASS during this past November election. So . . . things ARE slowly changing here.

I think Rand Paul would support legalization of MJ, just don't have a feel for the extent he might go for.

What the hell does THAT mean? 199 shots?

I could give a shit less about the gum, the same as you feel.

Hmmmmmm . . . I'm so sick of seeing Vandy's messages on here, that I have developed a phobia and now I can't bring myself to watch Vanderbilt play a ball game as they are often called "Vandy" for short!!!
Mike

A great observation. You would think the OTC would be structured to help small and start-up companies, especially while being so vulnerable to make it or break it years. Not make it where manipulators with no interest in a stock succeeding can tank it and maybe break the company. Wonder why no large lobbying organization hasn't approached Congress about this? Or, have they?

Yea, I am Type 2. And maybe Type 3 and 4. Ha.

I will certainly check that video out.
Thanks,
Mike

I found this to be interesting that they are going to use CBD in research on diabetes. I am diabetic and I've often wondered if it would have any effect on it. I have read that marijuana can have negative effects and increase blood sugar readings, but so far I've heard nothing about CBD for diabetes treatment.

I'll never understand the fickleness of the Hemp/CBD/MJ markets. ALL 5 of my stocks have tanked this morning, dropping WAY down! It's like they work in tandem with someone controlling them like pulling strings on a puppet. I SO wanted to wake up this morning and see real nice progress after passing of the FB. Looks like if I'm going to make any money I'll be picking up aluminum cans on the side of the road to sell for recycle.

That stands to reason. Thanks for another angle on this subject.

I sort of thought that too. I'm tapped out and can't put anymore in this stock.

But I also thought there would be a lot of 'lurkers' out there just waiting to dive in when things looked super good. People like me who are borderline amateur investors who study the stocks closely, and with all the news EVERYWHERE now about hemp and CBD oil there would be MANY people on the sidelines waiting to jump in on good news. To me, TODAY was the day to do it.

Thanks for your comment.
Mike

With the FB going to the House today for sure passage, and the possibility of uplisting, this stock was and is primed to skyrocket. But I'm baffled. With all this to look forward to, why didn't people or entities buy a shitload of this TODAY while the price is relatively down? To me, today was the time to make the big buying moves. This stock should have jumped today to over $6.50. I'm just dumbfounded by such little spark in it. Just doesn't make sense. Why wait until a few days from now to buy when it could be approaching $10 per share?

BEST COMMENT OF THE YEAR! My sides are splitting . . . mainly because you are so RIGHT!

ap . . . I ALWAYS enjoy reading your posts! They lift my spirits and my confidence in CVSI. Plus, your opinions are right on the money. (No pun intended!)
Mike

I'm glad SOMEBODY does! Ha! All my wife and 3 kids say to me is "Give me more money!" :)))

Wishful thinking here . . . IF this passage of the FB does what I think it will do, we will do more than pass thru the resistance. We should be seeing $8.00 by close Friday.

So . . . MY US Senator personally pushed this bill through to include what's going to happen to hemp.

Since I seem to be the only one on this board from this great Commonwealth . . . I think I should be lauded some way on this board. After all, I PERSONALLY sat with him and told him why this should pass and worked day and night helping him draft the bill. Well . . . I need to revise that just a tad. I DID send him a message a couple of times, and one time I was in the same auditorium with him. Do I still get any accolades? :))))
Mike

Anyone know who the 13 were that voted against it? I want to remember who they are.

When I have things like that to crop up I eat a while 1 pound can of cooked Delmonico Spinach leaves. I know it sounds crazy but for ME I have found it digests super easy and it seems to coat my SB and sort of heals it. In two days I'm back to normal. May not work for you. May even cause some extra bathroom trips. However, it still might be worth a try. And it HAS to be Delmonico brand. You don't want the other brands because they spinach is too rough. Delmonico spinach is tender and 'smooth'. I hope you are not laughing at me. My doctor did!
Mike

This IS sickening! I feel so bad for you.

I started investing in GE back in 1966. It never performed well through all those years. Well, not for me. I would sell it for a tiny profit and wait a couple of years and buy it again. Same ole thing. Stayed stagnant. And right when I thought it was up enough to sell, I wanted to wait one or more two days waiting for it to go up another notch and then . . . boom! It would have a drastic drop. I got tired of that yo-yo and sold off sometime in the 1980's and got the hell away from it.

Just stick some more money into CVSI when it's on a low and then wait a few months and cash out for a few thousand in gains. Better than nothing.

Well, I might have to give that a try AFTER it becomes legal here. I tried to smoke a cigarette when I was 16 and nearly choked to death. Turned green and wanted to vomit. I just wasn't cut out for smoking. I guess I'm a big pussy! Ha.

Thanks for that good info. IF I ever can get my hands on the right stuff I'll know to take it slow and easy!
Mike

Me too. I figuredd right here on the eve of the Farm Bill passing, people would want to load up now before it hits; making today's price go to at least $5.85 to $6.50.
