Short report GRST ...
Could that illustrate what we are seeing ???
https://otcshortreport.com/company/GRST
KRAMER BROTHERs and their multiple shell companies (which GRST has used) do wish and try to FORCE REVERSE SPLITs and BANKRUPT the companies so they don't have to cover up their NAKED short position.
I do not know about you but that sounds familiar to me, reading some posts herein ???
Be sure to listen to the following video I found, to better understand who these people are and how they do operate …
There are 3,75Billions O\S
Average day transaction volume is 13,5 million shares
A verage day transaction value is less than $7,000
Obviously no one is seriously investing in that and thos holding shares do sit on them waiting for the final outcome (loss from here on of $0,0005/Sh or gain of at least 10 times that ($0,005 for a market cap of $20,000,000 vs an annual revenue of more than $5,00,000 ... multiple of less than 4)
Considering there is a serious business reporting normally behind that stock and taking into consideration current debt, I call that a good risk for 'those interested in that sticker'.
'Looking back at the first 8 weeks of 2020 they dumped more than $1.3 billion shares at an average price of .0004.'
Wow! those interested in that ticker must be so thankful for that relevant facts. LOL
'Looking back at the first 8 weeks of 2020 they dumped more than $1.3 billion shares at an average price of .0004.'
Wow! those interested in that ticker must be so thankful for that relevant facts. LOL
'I myself have not had a position in this stock for over a year.'
As I wrote earlier then you spend a lot of time trying to destroy this stock and only 2 possible other options, You are paid to do it or you have no life.
I sold 1/3 of my shares because we are just letting competition develop new offerings and sit on our hands, waiting for FDA (12 to 18 months) without exploiting our current advantages.
You must be finaniall rewarded to continuously repeat ad nauseam the same historical facts everyone on this board must know even if it just comes from your stupid posts. The alternative would be even worst.
What you seem never to even recognize is that a growing business does exist behind the stock, Leon duly report quarter after quarter and it is obvious the stock is manipulated by someone or a team working at destroying the company.
Any shareholder herein understand the risk this stock represents, no one predict with certitude that it will endup being a great investment and very few (you in particular) pretend to know that this is a failure in the making.
Understanding the risk, i believe that Leon and friends of his may have the means to address the debt issues (recently announced governmental funding availability, private investors, ...) you keep describing like crazy, based on assumptions of yours made out of blindness relative to what is being worked on.
Any smart poster herein understands what this thing is all about and anyone thinking you even may be right predicting desasters based on historical facts is either a masochist shareholder or someone having no shares and probably no life.
I now have 3 potential reasons explaining your behavior
1- As I often suggested, for only you knows why, you are frustrated
2- You are involved with CURT KRAMER and SETH KRAMER already charged for multiple alleged violations of Federal Securities and RICO Laws.
3- You are an altruistic person spending his life trying to protect naive investors
The problem with boards like ours is that you never know who is posting and what is their motivation. That's why, one should be very carefull ...
The more I read your posts, the more I think about the following ... 'maintains its position that there is a serious, unaddressed and ongoing naked shorting problem related to its common stock. RECENT POSTING ON VARIOUS SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS have suggested that the problem is, at least in part, due to the actions of Mr. CURT KRAMER' ... an abstract of the 'New York, NY, June 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)'
It is at least a possible answer to the question I was asking for a long time relative to your motivation.
Great. Let's hope parents do find our boxes. To bad nobody takes time to make them aware.
Thanks but I would have tought, you knowing so much about the company.
Question:
Since you are obviously very familiar with the financial situation of GRST, could you tell be if the company ever did deal with the KRAMERS or any of their numerous firms (Ialmost wrote aliases)?
Looking around i found many interesting texts i felt interesting considering what we seem to be dealing with.
I wonder if that could explain somewhat the reasons our stock behave the way it does ??? I however am not sure if GRST DOES OR NOT DEAL DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY WITH THE KRAMERS AND THEIR FIRMS.
I also noted in the third text hereafter the following;
- 'RECENT POSTING ON VARIOUS SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS have suggested that the problem is ...' ... interesting way of supporting a strategy that we may witness sometime, dealing with small OTC microcap stocks!
Washington D.C., Nov. 25, 2013 — The SEC today charged a New York-based penny stock financier and his firms with violating the federal securities laws when they purchased billions of shares in microcap companies and failed to register them before they were re-sold to investors for sizeable profits. CURT KRAMER and his various firms agreed to …

… Plenty more texts of that kind I found thru a very simple search on Internet ...
Average dayly volume of 15,800,000 shares ( 4 out 1000 O/S) is less than $8,000 per day. That means that the stock doesn't attract new buyers but those having shares believes waiting is the smart thing to do.
Personally i give Leon the benefit of the doubt. in any case i have a lot more to win than i have to lose.
Personally, considering the attitude of our CEO, I did reduce 'somewhat my position in recent days. I will play the proceeds on something else but may come back adding if madam finally figures out she is not only operating an R&D outfit.
My concern: No marketing worth mentionning and no security relative to manufacturing.
Thanks
I (and you must also) assume Leon knows all of that description you keep posting on. I also believe that if he tought the situation was that desperate, he would just quit trying living his creditors pickup whatever they would be left with.
The fact is, whatever you predicted continuously over the last years, the creditors and Leon are still there and company keeps reporting duly.
I may be wrong (I already said it's risky) but I prefer to follow someone that KNOWS WHAT IS CURRENTLY GOING ON AND WHAT THE PLAN IS than believing someone that deducts from historical data and has no clue of what is CURRENTLY GOING ON AND WHAT THE PLAN IS.
Fact is you predicted the most negative outcome for more than one year (I wonder why since you apparently are not a shareholder) but Leon is still operating the business and lenders are still on board. Let,s see ...
In here like in politic these days, facts do not count. You're either on one side or on the other without even thinking or using your brain.
Fortunately some are independant and try to figure out where they stand and in what direction the future will go. They generally are smart enough to put history aside trying to figure out the future, understanding the risk they take.
'Data presented can be verified'
That is generally the case when one look at history !
Looking at it negatively, your scenario is logic but the other way to look at it (assuming the $5,000,000 proceed seriously reduces the debt) is:
- annual revenu : $ 5,000,000
- multiplier of 5 : $ 25,000,000 market cap
- O\S: 7,500,000,000 (3,275,000 + 4,200,000)
- pps : $ 0,0033 ... for shares acquired at $ 0,0012 Gain of 175%
You kept saying that the current market cap is because of the debt. I assume that reducing the debt could correct the situation.
This being said I know as much as you do (read" nothing) except the past.
I also know that:
- GRST is a risky pinky offering great gain potential,
- GRST is traded on a dangerous market, manipulated by some,
- GRST has reduced debts and did grow revenues,
- GRST is managed by a successful executive,
- GRST’S CEO is having significant initial success at reviving a company that was in a deep coma only months ago.
HOWEVER ONE SHALL NOT FORGET THAT:
- If our CEO fails, we will have to write off our bet/investment (hopefully not having bet the rent to start with)
BUT:
- If our CEO succeeds, we are in for quite an interesting financial gain.
As I said in a pevious post, Issuing shres to pay the debt the reverse split or reverse split then issuing shares are alternatives. The fact is that if (???) Leon can sell 4,2B new shares at $0,0012, then soon thereafter an R\S may very well be in the cards.
Starting from a market cap of less than $2,000,000 for a business generating more than $5,000,000 a year already offers quite an interesting opportunity as illustrated earlier
January 2020, December 2019, The first 8 weeks of 2020, January 16th 2020, February 2020, 2020 annual 10K issued April 2021, ...
Summary: Before the company started to create a serious busines (more or less 12-18 months ago) a lot of history was (to say the least) quite negative. Historians like any monday morning coachs are always right. However, those doing the job now do look at present, plans and projections.
Everyone must find its own approach but living in the past is generally non constructive, even maybe destructive.
Finally, those continuously rehashing past negatives are generally frustrated individuals only able to criticize those trying to build or create somthing looking ahaed.
Will the market move this beyond .0012 with the Q3, 10K filings?
Probably not, unless recent announcment result on something leading to general improvment of the current state of the young business (realistically more or less 12 months old)
We shall see.
Was that written with your positive hat on?
'It is none the less dilutive to shareholders' Do you mean that my hypothesis (dilution and debt clearing) is not a good strategy? After all you keep saying that market cap is justified by the waight of the debt.
'But if they were going to do that would it not have made more sense before they took on more debt' ... I would have tought that a person as smart as you would know that Leon had to create the business before doing that ???
'As for the revenue number, it comes with very high expenses so the business is throwing off very little cash.' ... I wonder, would not getting rid of debt reduce expenses and having less or no debt could allow for finacing expasion and increasing revenues (without necessarely increasing Fixed costs.
'As for the revenue number, it comes with very high expenses so the business is throwing off very little cash.' ... As if all that was achived over the last 18 months (licences, facility, reputation, ... was worthless ??? I'm sure you do not believe that (LOL)
Finally, I must say that you did not put on a positive hat at all.
'Moms will ALWAYS opt for the healthier alternative.'
That's why I keep asking why we do not tell them about our offerings ... actual and to come?
'offering of common shares at twice the current market?'
you however know the current market , 0005 is that low because of the debt ... or maybe you forgot?
SO WHAT, IN ANY CASE, ACCORDING TO YOUR ANALYSISES THEY WILL NEVER SEE AGAIN THE COLOR OF THEIR MONEY ... LOL
Put your positive hat on for once and tell me what is wrong here after (assuming Leon and friends of his have $ 5,000,000 to bet,buying 4,167,000,000 new shares at $0,0012, so the company can immediately get rid of $5,000,000 worth of debt.
What then could the pps be for a 'DEBT FREE' grst generating an annual revenue of $5,000,000 already ?
- annual revenu : $ 5,000,000
- multiplier of 5 : $ 25,000,000 market cap
- O\S: 7,500,000,000 (3,275,000 + 4,200,000)
- pps : $ 0,0033 ... for shares acquired at $ 0,0012 Gain of 175%
Thereafter, the company could R/S and borrow to expand further.
Discussing R/S AFTER the move instead of BEFORE, the news of today may lead to the scenario I did outline earlier. The issue making our market cap less than our revenues is the DEBT (Our expert certainly would agree with that) ... Therefore going back to my post # 42639, maybe (just maybe) Leon is starting a process I did imagine for fun earlier ... Who knows?
TODAY'S NEWS : Ethema Health Corporation is offering up to 4,166,666,666 shares (“Shares”) of its common stock, par value of $0. We expect that the fixed initial public offering price per share of Common Stock will be 0.0012 per share.
PREVIOUS POST OF MINE (pual Post #42639)
Let’s have fun,
Having time to spare, I imagined a business plan of action Leon could sell to real investors, interested in the opportunity offered by the market we are in.
Note that:
- Our business now has a great reputation in the market we operate into
- we are in the wrong manipulated pinky market,
- we are crippled with debts
- we have a great start-up-type of revenues
- The market we are in offers an unlimited potential for growth.
PLAN OF ACTION
1- At current pps (.0005) we should do a reverse split of 10,000:1 bringning
- our PPS at $5
- our # of O\S down to 375,000
- keeping our MC at less than $2,000,000
- for a company having a going annual revenue rate of at least $5,000,000 per year.
2 - Then Leon should get us listed on NASD as soon as possible.
3 - Thereafter he issues 10,000,000 new shares at $5,00 generating a $50,000,000 cash asset.
4 - Then use that money to eliminate all our debts and more.
Our picture becomes
- 10,375,000 O/S.
- no more debt,
- a well-established operation,
- a MC based on a multiplier of 11 would be the most conservative one can expect for our great current operation.
- Our justified MC then would become: revenues of $5,000,000 X 11 = $55,000,000
- That MC divided by 10,375,000 shares = PPS of $5.30/share
BOTTOM LINE READS: No debt, solid operation to grow from, acceptable PPS/MC.
NEXT STEP: EXPANSION:
Then Leon could go to the bank:
- borrow $10,000,000
- add it to whatever was left from the selling of new shares and
- invest it all in a new facility allowing for major revenue growth.
Hypothetic … but who knows what Leon has in mind?
'They had a bit more than $2 millions in revenue for the first 6 months of the year' ...
Once again you look at the past and conclude from that, blindly assuming that past will repeat itself forever.
I personally could also use the past to project ahead, blindly assuming the past will just repeat itself forever ... and conclude that the company will keep growing at a rate of 22% per half:
Q3 + Q4 FY21: $ 1775 (100%)
Q1 + Q2 FY22: $ 2,161 (+ 22%)
Then second half 22 would read $2,636 and the following half $ 3,216 for a $ 5,852 revenue for the next 4 quarters.
Only one issue with both these crazy analysis: We both do not know what we talk about because Leon did not let us know why he keeps working at it and how he plans to succeed.
Sometime trying to look smart makes us look stupid.
Personally, I do not have a clue what Leon will be able to do ... or not, how successful he will be ... or not and I therefore have 2 choices:
1- Sell my shares, walk away and shut up
2- Keep my shares and wait to see what will happen.
Up to now, I see progress is being made and I wait to see how Leon will solve our issue (debt) ... or not. Till then I give him the benefit of the doubt and accept the risk I take.
Thank ... This explains why they do not advertize and confirm my concern that the company will have issues with delivering products in the future ... unless they address the manufacturing issue seriously.
Assuming the last quarter generated revenues of (2,400 X 1,25) $3,000,000 and that the next 3 quarters will show growth of 25%/quarter (3,750,000, 4,650,000, 6,000,000 and 7,500,000) our annual revenue would be about $ 22,000,000.
ASSUMING NO FURTHER DILUTION (115,000,000 O/S) ... and a multiplier of 8 (no debt), our justified pps would be $1,50 or so instead of our current $ 0,75.
I therefore suggest that the market doesn't believe that such a growth (25%/quarter) of revenue can be achieved if our management keeps doing the same thing between now and mid 2023.
Assuming a revenue rate of $8,000,000/year and a multiplier of only 5, this stock is worth more than 1 penny/share.
I'm positive that Leon understands very well what is the issue (debt) he must resolve and I have no doubt he already works toward a resolution.
The question should not be 'what' he must do but 'when' he will do it.
For the moment, serious shareholders (I wonder how many we are) do stay put and do wait, keeping their shares (except for a few very small traders generating avg dayly activity worth more or less $8,000/day).
Let's hope that Leon does his thing as early as possible but I believe, it's a matter of time before current serious shareholders are rewarded. I assume we are about 400 owing on average 10,000,000 shares each.
For as long as our CEO believes she is running an R&D operation and think that Marketing is putting boxes on shelves full of boxes of all kind, we will remain frustrated.
For as long as she keeps dreaming of a great future without understanding that she just cannot for customers to find our boxes by accident, frustration will remain the name of the game.
Large and/or institutional investors will not touch this stock, considering that if she waits long enough, Else's potential market will be taken up by better mange companies, even if their products are less great than ours.
What a pitty ...
Sometime you pick the right time to decide something. Placed a bunch for grab yesterday and they went rapidly at the ask i tought i would have to wait a lot to get LOL
I hope they advise chineese customers that we are now there and what our offering is all about.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ELSE NUTRITION HOLDINGS INC. (BABY) (BABYF) (0YL.F) (“Else” or the “Company”), announces that it launched its flagship Chinese store on Tmall Global on September 29 and is now selling Else Nutrition Toddler Formula and Baby Cereal products directly to Chinese consumers through the store. The opening of the Chinese market is the third market for Else in its international expansion. This is the second new market for Else this year, following the company entering Canada in June.
“Selling our innovative, plant-based, clean pediatric nutrition products in China is a key milestone in the company’s strategic plan to become a player in the global infant nutrition market. Following our recent growth in North America, we are on track for expansion globally. We are very excited to help fulfill the increasing demand in China for a dairy & soy-free pediatric nutrition alternative, and provide China’s youngest generation with nutritionally balanced, whole plant, clean, dairy and soy-free alternatives, especially considering the very high rate of lactose intolerance in China of about 22.4%, the additional suspected lactose intolerant population of about 25%, and the proportion of infants and toddlers under 2 years who claim to experience allergic symptoms is as high as 40.9% (3.7 million infants/toddlers).
“Another indicator of the need for plant-based alternatives is Chinese consumers’ rising awareness of health and sustainability which has led to the increasing consumption of plant-based milk, especially among Gen Z and Gen Y consumers. The average annual growth rate of the Chinese plant-based milk industry is expected to remain above 20% in the next few years, and the market size is expected to reach 300 billion Yuan ($56.65 billion CDN) by 2025,” said Hamutal Yitzhak, the CEO and Co-Founder of Else.
The global infant formula market in 2021 accounted for approximately $77 billion. The market is expected to grow and reach around $110 billion by 2026. China will remain the market leader with about 40% of the global market share. China’s infant formula market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8%, from $30 Billion in 2021 to $40 Billion by 2025. Else chose to partner with Baozun, the largest e-commerce service provider in the market, to ensure the most effective penetration. The flagship store is already open on Tmall, and WeChat, JD and Douyin stores are scheduled to open during the quarter to increase reach and consumer awareness.
“The partnership with Baozun, with their experience and status as a ‘six-star’ partner to Tmall, was a strategic choice for Else. One that we are confident will lead the way to a strong market entrance and continued growth in China,” added Hamutal Yitzhak, CEO, and Co-Founder of Else Nutrition. “We look forward to many milestones in the Chinese market including our upcoming store launch on WeChat, with its 1.25 billion active users.”

Was busy and honestly did not expect much out of that call. This being said what I read now confirms what I tought.
I still believe this could become a great investment but decided to reduce my short term (12+ months probably) position by 33% (getting as good a price as I can within the next few weeks.
Investing the proceeds somewhere else, I shall think about buying back in more or less a year from now.
To me (at least) our CEO operates an R&D operation and is obviously an incompetent business management person. That's why institutional investors do stay away from this stock till changes justify getting involved somewhat.
Thanks a lot.
Personally (some may not agree,) I suggest that
- our CEO is totally commited to the products (great) but she also believe that the way to go is just let the market find us instead of telling consumers directly what we are all about.
- The company is financially in great shape (no debt) but 17 million cash is quite small and we therefore may be diluted some more, in a more or less close horizon ... unless revenues start growing SIGNIFICANTLY.
- I see that FDA approval is as far as 18+ months away. I expected a shorter time before now and then? Tha also reinforce my belief that focussing on generating revenues out of our current offerings is critical.
In the next couple of week Else will have been a public company for 3 full years (became listed on US OTC markets in Dec 2019). Else began sales in the U.S. in September 2020 (more than 2 years ago) then established 'shelves all over the world thereafter. The company however only records sales (annual projection next 4 quarters) of more or less CDN $15 to 20 millions (assuming quaterly growth of sales to be 25%). Current market cap is less than CDN $80 millions and with current pps we may soon get delisted from tsx.
As per the last line of your report, our CEO claims the company to ' being overwhelmed by demand'' ... I hope not, otherwise we have an undefined issue out there.
