me and my wife would love to be able to afford that much, we are low income canadians. My wife has the discount and normally we would want to and would be able to buy our full allotment of 60 grams a month, but like I said I want to keep some available in case they bring back my favorite strains.
I just want to say here and now that the selection issue is about the only issue I have with them. Truth is I need their product and would love to be able to get it cheaper. That doesn't mean I will ever turn to a CC - there are none available to me anyways - BC is a long ways away.
I have been told I don't understand, and people want to tell me what Tweed customers will do. I am a Tweed customer and a Tweed investor, I know exactly what I am doing - and NOTHING would please me more than to see TWEED continue to drop in share price. Next week I am buying more TWD shares no matter what the price. Peace
the judge is going to go with precedence - there is a long list of decisions handed down that confirm the government does in fact have the authority to make laws concerning 'controlled substances'
if there is a little problem with this law they will just pass another one, you think you gonna win something? Currently HC/government is holding back Tweed on things that the 'competition' gets away with in BC - we don't care. A lot of the owners of this company are in net savings mode, and we can afford to wait for years. Our corporations don't need to mount legal challenges against the government - they are the government. Why don't you stop kidding yourself and jump in with the big boys - or do you actually believe the constant criticism you put out. I know where you are it seems pointless and even hostile that LP's are getting a chance to get in on this business - but take a look at the map of Canada and think about reality for a few minutes.
Anyways, at this point the Canadian medical market is just a bonus, a start but by no means the reason why this company is growing production capacity still, what i am really excited about is export opportunities - several US states have MMJ laws on their books, what happens when the Federal Government legalizes MMJ in states that permit it? It is only a matter of time before the Fed makes legal what a growing number of states are demanding. The people demand this all over the world - but this is one of the first publicly traded companies that is in on it - but who knows, glta
went up 11% today, and I bought twd, oh well, so far I am wrong
on our first order I told him exactly what was in the box - i told him he was a drug distributer and I was paying him - Canada Post will soon be the largest marijuana distribution ring on the planet (BC group of gangs and growers known as 'the union' being number one before) - they get it to me in a cuple business days like anything else I order online - great institution they are!
Canada Post will be stopping door to door delivery soon - big fuss about that but I agree - for our mail we go to our village PO, but for Tweed they show up to my door and have me sign for it.
It goes from a Health Canada licensed, inspected and regulated corporation direct to the federal institution known as Canada Post, directly to a customer with a signature. That is how it is done son
hey awesomesound - what dispensary you know gonna mail to rural quebec and guarantee I have no legal issues? Post Office Workers Union of Canada is actively lobbying for legalization. Ok that last part is BS
.
yeah awesomesound - maybe Tweed lied about having 3000 patients, their grams sold
maybe their oddly sequential nature of my order ID's is just another scam in order to take my money - hey, next convince me that I myself am a scam, I am just some silly stock promoter trying to make money off of chumps - you are obviously trying to stop me, you must have a really good heart - god bless you brother

my wife qualifies for their discount program
my recent slowdown in purchases has to do with them not having our favorite strains available - would buy more if i could
you can see when i started out I was making smaller orders and experimenting with different strains - now I know what I want but I can't get it - had to compromise on my last order
also - not I landed order number 14000 - when i saw that on my email I replied " order 14000, what do I win?" just as a joke - but they sent my wife a tote bag - class act, them guys - heres to future growth!
disregard the 'g's - just a copy error - they don't show how many grams I bought on that order screen, you need to look at each order
order # 21896
Order # 2159- on May 31
That's up from 21180 on May 28.
716 orders in 5 days = 143 orders per day
anyone seeing a constant rise in orders per day? it is what you would expect is a company were regularly registering loyal customers like me and my wife. Here's to future growth!
I actually agree with you - my wife is a Tweed customer, I just wrote to customer service last night about it. She likes Buddy and Leonidas - and want to order it but can't - Tweed is actually missing out in sales because of it. But I am also an investor and I think it is awesome that demand for the product is outmatching their initial grow capacity.
Here is an example just for you Bonno - I just purchased 30 grams of Bubba Kush for my wife. The order ID is #21896 for all you order counters out there - I like what you do with your arithmetic so I will help out when i can. Anyways, Bonno, I would have ordered 60 grams of Leonidas or Buddy - but that wasn't available - so I just made a small order this time, hoping for the good stuff comes soon. That is what we like to call DEMAND.

Thank you for shopping at Tweed
I have been pessimistic lately with OGI, bought more TWD today - I am trading in the red, first day of my trading career I can rightfull say that - but I am loving it anyways - think my last few purchases were pure gold
ok, my last post made no sense, thought you were talking about a different ticker (OGI) because of the prices you were talking - honestly sounded like decent advice and not complete nonsense - then I realized what board I was on.
If anyone wants to sell me TWD for .40, give me a week or so while I go sell my house
I bailed out of this ticker (OGI) at .54, having made an 18% profit, rolled that into TWD weeks ago, so overall I am down about 1.3% with the prices they are now. Today I bought 214 more shares of TWD at 1.84 (market price order before the open this morning)
I want to get back into OGI eventually, really hoping I have a chance to purchase a position before the next move up - don't think it will get all the way down to .30 on this sell-off - I would be happy with starting out at the current price but I am waiting on another position to play out first.
absolutely - it really is a question between the rights of individual citizens versus the rights of the collective whole - represented by government. If the collective whole demanded the right to grow cannabis we would have it. Instead, we are dumb slaves that elect greedy politicians to write our laws - therefore we have the MMRP -
The Supreme Court will stand up for the individual Canadian when his/her rights are being infringed upon, but right now NO ONE is being arrested for growing Cannabis - it is a free for all going on - and the corporations are the only ones who will ever scale up and bring the cultivation of this miracle plant to an industrial level.
Right now in Canada we have a really messed up system, some people still in the MMAR can continue to grow, some corporations are licensed to grow, I grow too - but out of all of them I am the only one facing 6 months minimum prison sentence if I am caught - obviously that is neither fair or humain - my wife really is sick and this stuff really is expensive - but rest assured - the government will continue to rule, the corporations will continue to make money, and the guy with a sick wife will have to pay for his medicine just like everyone else.
well the Allard caase is in Federal Court now, think they are awaiting a decision. I for one am extremely optimistic that the judge on the Federal Court level will rule that the MMPR program does not count as a violation of the Candian Charter of Freedoms.
What is at issue is our basic rights as Canadians - a previous judge ruled that a person cannot be made to choose between health and freedom - a blanket prohibition to marijuana was therefore 'unconstitutional' because it infringed upon a sick person's 'right' to health (in situation where marijuana has been shown to be essential to health and well being).
So the government had to go back to the drawing board - first with MMAR - a great program hi-jacked by organized crime in Vancouver and used throughout Canada to provide legal protection for commercial grow operations. These are gang led illegal operations, but make no mistake - they are commercial.
Then, to combat the above problems the government appealed MMAR and replaced it with the MMPR. The MMPR dismantles all the gardens, whether they be for commercial use by gangs or just by a single sick person trying to make medicine.
I believe that the government has the authority to regulate, license, tax and control the distribution of life saving medicine in Canada - and that is what the government of Canada intends to do.
My grandfather takes nitroglycerin pills for his heart, imagine the unintended consequences of giving the people the right to grow their own medicine! Supreme courts are honor bound to defend the rulings of their predecessors, and when it comes right down to it in the end - growing weed takes time, patience, skill, room, electritcity, water, dirt, intelligence, etc, etc - it is a royal pain in the ass - that is why I buy from Tweed. Good luck bro
No man, there is no 'closest'. My predication leads to a binary possibility tree, either I am right or I am wrong. You disagree with me, so the same applies to your prediction.
I will admit that over a short period of time, a few days trading at the most, there may be a slight bump that put OGI's performance above TWD's for a short period - but over ANY two week period since the inception of these two companies - TWD outperforms OGI, that trend will continue, that is my prediction
I have wanted to invest for a long time, these two companies are the only two companies I have ever owned, at the price TWD is trading this morning I am just about even money on my trades. OGI is the first and only company I have ever made money on, but I am telling you again.
When everyone was excited that Denis Arsenault and Roger Rogers were buying their own shares I got really skeptical - that reaction has paid off for me big time, having sold OGI at .56 and .60, then lastly I did a little buy of OGI before I went to Jamaica, had an sell order that didn't pop while I was away so I sold that lot at the same price I bought it - .54
This is the way I see it. What if Denis agrees to buy 100,000 shares for a certain price when his buddy decides to let a batch go at around a certain price - they wait til the investor community hears the news, and then the buddy in this scenario sells a lot of his shares at the premium price caused by the 'insider buying' - that is just one of many ways that director led insider trading can lead to massive losses for investors - I will ALWAYS remember when I watched that video and saw Denis smile as he was describing it, a beautiful scam if you can pull it off. Seems Roger Rogers taught him how it is done from what I gather of his history.
this game is about information, analyzing and interpreting it, a lot of reading and a lot of google searches - you google not just the company but also the people - who have they been involved with, and what do they do - when something looks fishy you RUN!
very good - you have your prediction and I have mine - only one of us can be right - we'll see who is quoting who mid June
there are a few MMPR/MMAR 'lawsuits' - there is a privacy class action lawsuit against Health Canada - that is where a group of 'MMAR' - thats the old program -patients is suing the government for mailing out letters to every one of them and thereby disclosing to the world that these people use MMJ - that one obviously doesn't affect us.
There is the Allard case - that is where the former MMAR patients are saying the new rules are unconstitutional (editing this a little, I know you an american) - They are saying that ANY prohibition, regulation, licensing, etc is null and void because MMJ is medicine and they need it and can grow it. That is what the opponents to this program see as their greatest weapon - it isn't. You really need to think about the implications of giving someone the right to do something just because they need it. Farming for example, I couldn't raise pigs and chickens in some neighborhoods of Toronto, I couldn't do it inside in an apartment - but I neee some eggs and bacon now, and I got to start the coffee, what was i talking about?
wouldn't shed a tear - lower pps is far better for the buyer of stock than a high price - but I am earning a lot in comparison to my spending atm and don't plan on selling these securities for years, so I guess it depends on the situation but I love the price at the moment, a much safer bet at these prices than it was when i started buying (1.97 CAD)
OGI has lost 22% of it's value in the last month, TWD has lost 7 %.
TWD continues to outperform OGI, TWD has been doing better the entire time I have been telling you all it will.
QUOTE THIS WHEN IM WRONG
TWD will continue to outperform OGI in the future.
twd @ 1.87 ogi @ .40
damn - guess the other month when people were all excited that the directors of the company were buying shares - that was a really, really good time to sell, I remember that video of Denis Arsenault, smirking and claiming he 'couldn't call bottom, but...' - I saw it as a hustle and it is looking I was right, Im still not buying
1.89 is a really good price for a corporation that just raised over $20 million selling shares at a net price of 2.02 - over 5% discount. Not bad - anyways I really like their plans for the use of that $20 million - finishing up their Tweed Farms project and that new lab of theirs will cost an estimated $10 mil with $10 mil left to play with.
Think of that for a second though - they are using $7 million to finish up their immense greenhouse (low cost production, no lights needed), with it's own processing facility and vault - they will be able to ship to the customer straight from there - the production will DWARF organigrams planned production for years - Is Tweed building a really big Organigram for about $10 million - so why is little OGI worth over $20 mil, because it uses a non-proprietary growing method called 'organic'?
Tweed Farms production license is already bigger than Organigram's ouch, you guys must hate comparisons!
Was telling my wife last night that I am loving the low prices - a great time to buy. Should be I can buy a few hundred shares more TWD by Wednesday, so I hope it drops. If it doesn't I will be looking at OGI or BED - but with the prices where they are right now I wouldn't touch OGI yet
seems by the end of that June 22nd conference the investor community will have a lot more information about the market. The conference opens up with the latest in MMPR market statistics, I am sure the information will hit the internet either soon - looks like an interesting conference - lot of interesting issues - my favorite is the idea of getting into the US/European markets
thanks - well let me all tell you just to counteract the idiots of the world. Tweed weed is great, I love it - I love the service and the buds. I recently tried Organigram but Tweed is just better - me and my wife will be customers for years - check their menu every day, they keep changing out their selection of $9 gram strains - I think they are doing better than anyone realizes, love the price right where it is, the only way it could get better is if it drops - better prices good for net buyers
do you think the Supreme Court of Canada is going to give Canadians the 'right' to grow their own medicine in their own homes - is that what you think?
The Supreme Court is appointed by government to justify government, after the federal court sides with HC I doubt the supreme court will elect to hear the Allard appeal
courts don't make laws, and they don't rewrite rights - but if you think the Supreme Court of Canada is going to strip the government of its ability to regulate the production and sale of a controlled substance, a mind altering medicine no less - well then you simply don't know what you are talking about
if Canadians wanted free growing cannabis they could have it, they would just need to rise up against the government and demand it - demand a party that advocated it - I don't see that happening anywhere but Vancouver - no politician is talking about that (except for Jodie Emery - look what happens to that!)
I am on your side man, it is the side of freedom - in any rational society there would be no need for Tweed, Tweed is a stupid idea with stupid prices, but it is a really stupid world - good luck - peace and love
hey awesomesound - I buy from Tweed, I invest in Tweed AND I grow my own. Whatever happens me and mine got our medicine and we do our thing, we don't live in BC - so we have normal laws to break where I live.
As for investing - no worries bro, it is a gamble - win some and lose some - I wouldn't put down anything I wasn't prepared to lose, TBH it is a more exciting way of saving money that I will have to pay in taxes and/or invest into my RRSP - tax laws essentially reward investment/savings, so even if I were to go down 10% it is still better than if I were to keep it as cash in my house, and way better than buying some stupid shit I don't need.
but the question i got is, why do you care? are you interested in a short position? - you can make all sorts of bets in this casino, do you play with the big boys or are you just a loser somewhere with an internet connection and a grow op to take care of - so you water your plants half the day and spend the rest trolling? If you are then we are probably not that different from each other brother, just my grow op is really small and I run a legit business for a living
you a guy cheering for the big guys to fail, and i get that - if it were up to me we would all be free. Tweed would fail if I could get what I wanted - but I have real money to invest so I try to look more at what will actually happen as opposed to what i want to see happen - peace and love
anyone who hates on Licensed Producers of Medical Marijuana simply because they try to grow medicine, they have what you would call a conflict of interest.
They wanted the government to allow people to grow medicine, and the government does allow people to grow medicine - only the right kind of people is all. They only let people grow medicine for commercial purposes when they have financial backing, when they can provide security, documentation and safeguards- audited accounting, they only let people grow cannabis for commercial purposes if they have enough money to buy a really big, expensive vault to hold all the medicine.
Obviously if you are not one of these people you may feel left out, that is because you are left out - sorry bout that
when will we get a financial report on Jan 1st - March 31st ?
First full quarter of production and distribution with an open client registration. We already have the grams sold. What about revenues, margins, expenses, and inventories?
The quarter ended about 60 days ago, don't they need to release unaudited financial results, or do they get 120 days because this quarter is also the end of the year? not sure how that works, can someone ask Tweed?
ok, well I will stick to my plan, wait and see - but I told you from the start - it was all about book value - when the valuations make sense again I will get back on board this ship - it is certainly taking water, but it is not sinking yet
although I just looked at things - right now I think the most attractively priced canadian LP is Mettrum - it is about 1.5 P/B compared with OGI's 2.8 - but at these prices it is a tough call
seems like the entire industry is going through a slump, they are all quietly building up their production capacities and registering their patients - eventually the financials will start telling the story, anyways I am really glad I didn't own OGI for the last few weeks!
for sure, they make the OGRMF ticker for the retail trader, to make it easy, algorithms do the currency exchange arbitrage i am sure, they do it all very, very efficiently - compare the two tickers on google finance - OGRMF and OGI - look at a 3 month or 6 month graph and you see they move in lockstep with eachother, but there is a cost to OGRMF, it lags slightly over a long period of time
https://www.google.com/finance?chdnp=1&chdd=1&chds=1&chdv=1&chvs=maximized&chdeh=0&chfdeh=0&chdet=1432843200000&chddm=49657&chls=IntervalBasedLine&cmpto=OTCMKTS:OGRMF&cmptdms=0&q=CVE:OGI&ntsp=0&ei=CkZnVdH6Bo3EjAG3yIKgAQ
this is why I really want to start investing in banks - they are like Casinos, it is all a big game
i looked into the difference between the two tickers the other day - it turns out that the otcmrk ticker is just a place holder - there is a proxy owner of your shares that own OGI for you. They are in Canada - but they can issue placeholders to be traded on the OTC - thats where your securities come from - generally speaking there will be a lot less volume on the OTC market than for the OGI ticker, and whenever there is a significant price difference between the two tickers someone will initiate arbitrage trades, eventually bringing the two prices in line with each other
so you have proxy ownership of OGI shares, you own a share that represents the value of an OGI share, but that comes at a cost that erodes the overall performance of the otcmrk shares in relation to OGI - the banks that print this proxy paper takes a cut from every trade, they never lose when they buy or sell (destroy or create) the proxy paper to represent OGI, but they take a commission of course.
you can compare the two tickers on Google Finance - OGI and OGRMF - any graph longer than 3 months will show you exactly what I mean, they move in lockstep, but over a longer period of time OGRMF lags slightly behind OGI
quote:
In fact, investors should note that all MMPR licensed companies have growing operating expenses and very limited revenues. (NEED A RANGE HERE)
Yeah, about that range - Tweed will post revenues of over $1.1 million very shortly (thats for their first quarter 2015), just recently they did a bought deal of $20 million cash, so that plus whatever they had before would count as their 'very limited resources.
In comparison OGI does 81k revenue for the entire year and recently got approved for a $5 million dollar debt financing (terms never disclosed)
damn, I just realized that Tweed's last sale of stock, they raised about as much money as Organigram's current market value - we are going to see a reset of valuations soon, wait and see, wait and see
it's getting dirty, market value keeps dropping, at least I didn't take the ride down with a OGI position, wish I could get off the sidelines, come on financial report, we need some good news!
going down in Canada, your order should fill - down to .42 CAD, don't know what that is in US but it is pretty damn low!! Wait and see, wait and see
not much volume this morning
I said I would give you guys an honest review of OGI when I got it in, so here it is - keep in mind I really would like you guys to sell OGI out in the near future but I am going to be honest here. I will compare to TWD.
Pros - the smell. OGI has stated that organic growing leads to higher terpine levels. When i opened the jar of AK - 47 a very pleasant, natural smell came rushing out. Compared to Tweed I would have to admit that it smells better, but I have yet to do a side by side, strain to strain comparison. I would not be surprised if eventually they could prove in a lab that their growing system makes better smelling buds
The bud is decent, just what you would expect. It was processed and packaged correctly. We didn't find the Puff-it vaporizer but there was a grinder and a cookbook, both my wife appreciated. Tweed sold us a superior Arizer vaporizer at a highly discounted price anyways so we can't complain.
The prices are a little higher than Tweeds, Organigram had no full bud product under $7 a gram, but we qualify for the low income pricing so it came out to just over $5 a gram, we can get our favorite cheap strains from Tweed for just under $5 a gram, but price is a huge concern for us.
Packaging - Organigram looked a little amateur compared to Tweed's packaging, but it is obviously less expensive packaging - margins are everything
Overall - I am glad they are an option, it was nice to try another brand, if I had to choose of recommend one brand over the other I would go with Tweed ATM - they are just further ahead in development. That being said, the more I think about this company the more I wish I had some of it's stock, especially now, this company is worth only $22 million CAD on the market last I checked and they just delivered me good buds
I must admit - I would LOVE to START building a position at these prices, but I have nothing ATM - good luck to you, but I sure do hope it stays down just another week or two.
Anyways I feel, starting from these prices, that TWD will outperform OGI in the near future, if I am right I will be able to buy OGI at a relatively cheaper price in the future regardless of whether it goes up or down, if I am wrong than I would have missed out on the greater returns I could achieve if I would sell my TWD to buy OGI right now.
Holding on to a position is just as much of a gamble as selling it
Only time will tell.
OGI - .43
TWD - 1.93
JohnCM - why do you delete all you own 'Bottom calls' - lol - you hold on to stock OGI stock when it is at .50? WHY? Why accept losing money, that is stupid - anyone listening to you this morning would have lost 14% of their capital in a DAY!!!! Good luck buddy
If TWD had a similar day it would have been trading at 1.70, that won't happen, it's at the perfect price, just under what it is worth - perfect time to buy.
Only 'HOLD" when the stock is undervalued - don't hold when it is dropping hard John, you will lose all your money
I don't like to hold on to stocks long term, I like holding on to them only during the times that their values increase, if I am wrong I bet more - so far this strategy is working out really well - thanks
yeah, well anyone holding Organigram 'long term' has seen their capital swirling round and round the toilet hole for months now - I make money with trades
I sold out of OGI last at .54 having made a total 18% return - I put it all on Tweed and so far have lost about 2% of what I have now while OGI lost nearly 20%
Don't lie to yourself - you are losing money while I am not, I could buy up the stock I sold to some sucka a few weeks ago for pennies on the dollar now, but i don't because these price fluctuations matter a lot, and I am not ready to make my move yet - will let you all know when I do
yeah, keep bringing down your target and eventually you will be right about something John. I am on the sidelines until Tweed moves, AND IT WILL - all I got to say is I am not surprised that OGI it continues to drop, and if you read my messages for the last 3 weeks you would know I sold out all of it at .54, had a little loss on my TWD buys since then but no where near as bad as holding on to OGI.
Hold at .50? Why, when it drops to .45 that is a whopping 10% - who the hell thinks that is acceptable? - last week I has a buy order in at .45, now I am glad I put that cash on TWD at 1.91 -
anyways - I am for real about what I do, when I buy AND when I get out. Made 18% on the last OGI jump, but now I am all in on TWD!
I almost feel bad I have been so damn right about the direction this stock is taking - I see a long line of .45 multi-thousand dollar sell orders, now the bid has dropped to .44 and there are still thousands of shares for sale at .45!!! Damn, hold on there GoodBuddy, OUCH!
