Really??
A little too much THC in your vape pen...time for the low THC
product for you
I agree...if no new products on the site tomorrow that will be "0" new products since Calkin announced "New products added every week" and it states the same when you open the website
If we get a new product listed next week it will be a "fluff" addition. A new flavor of one of the two existing products
BTW I checked just now and the CB Pills still are listed as "Out of Stock"
It will be a few weeks before any new products are added in my opinion
I hope I am wrong and we get a slew of new products added tomorrow and loaded overnight so they are available at market open
Don't get me wrong not ticked off just concerned
We all know that CCI is Calkins baby and not spending 100% of his time on GRCU
There are plenty of CEO juggling more than one company
In those companies the CEO has a right hand person running the day to day as the CEO
Is looking forward and working on deals
I would have expected that Calkin would have brought that person in by now
That is my concern there is no one running the company back at home base every day
I agree however as time goes on I am becomming more concerned and the lack of a stabilized PPS is the key reason
We do not have marketing...yet
We have limited products....current
Sales are minimal at best with our #1 product MIA for three months ...I am expecting stagnant sales numbers at best for the 3rd quarter....based on CB Oil pills Out of Stock
What concerns me the most is that Calkin is not adding an management to his staff. Normally in this timeframe a couple of key hires are made and announced. An empire is not built by one person but a team of people. The lack of quality personnel concerns me as time goes on.
Is it because Calkin wants total control? Is it because no one will work for him? Is it because the company doesn't have the funds? Those are all legit concerns. No one man can do it all
Without marketing (which should have started by now) all the great new products (yet to appear in the past two weeks)the #1 product still out of stock 3 months later will not bring in revenue
Without revenue and profits the PPS will continue to drop
Calkins billionaire friends are not investing in GRCU and it is us longs who are supporting his dream
At this rate we will no longer believe in his dream and when the massive dump of stock happens this company will become worthless
At this point it is us longs that are keeping this company alive and if just a few of us just ship (since the ship is still at port this will more likely be step off the ship) this company will be dust
Yeah these past two week have been a diaster just as Calkins promises of new products added weekly
No new products last week that I saw and no new products yet this week..if I am incorrect please correct me
I bet that new CCI classes have been added the past few weeks
Sorry longs we have been stuck in the sub pennies for many weeks and it has stabilized there. An occassional move up to .01 however after a few days the string of reds kick in and sub penny hits.
At this point I am hoping that we stabilize at .01 by the EOY.
Still not selling however I have put a bottom of .005 PPS. If it drops that low this company is gone no matter how many products are being sold.
Here we go and still no CB Oil pills available. How long has it been? 3 months since out of stock condition? That is pathetic to be out of stock of your #1 selling product for 3 months.
They are better removing the product from the website and release it if and when they secure a decent supply
Go ahead and bash me but reality is reality.
Look and you shall find
Only want the best for my fellow stakeholders
Shareholders can hype and trade all they want
True stakeholders care about the longevity of the company and can easily talk and accept where improvements need to be made
Only the best for GRCU and it's stakeholders
BTW I hold 2 mil of my 6 mil shares in my Roth IRA account which will either go bust or will provide me with a comfortable retirement
I can thank the low PPS for that
How is looking to hold 2-3 years and not predicting a PPS being misleading?
Since you want a PPS prediction for myslef I am looking for the stock to be uplisted and have a PPS $1.00 and above before I sell an shares and even then it would be to recoup my investment and let the remaining shares grow thus holding for years
Is that a clearer indication on where I stand now?
I also now hold 6 mil shares starting with my initial investment in Novemeber when they were TTDZ of 500,000 shares.
My share purchases have been as low as .0085 to as high as .021 with my current average of .012
Last week I added twice for a total of another 500,000 shares
To date I have not sold a single share when when they were as high as just under .05 which I could have easily made 2x what I had invested. Stuck with them all through the PPS decline to where they are hovering right now
Any other questions?
Yes it is
I am a long and have been holding shares here for close to a year
Started with 500,000 shares and now up to over 6 million and never sold a share...
I am holding out for the dollars a share not .02-.05-.10 or .25
Being a startup company it is easier for them to take care of the small details and build
Ignoring the small details when a startup and blowing them off is being sloppy, blaming small issues on vendors is sloppy, taking responsibility and correcting them builds confidence, plus admitting a mistake instills shareholder confidence
A stakeholder holds long term, wants the company to perform and become world class vs. a shareholder who is looking for a quick gain and moving on
You can easily tell whom are the shareholders and whom are the stakeholders
I am a stakeholder
That is great and time to move forward
A company that cares about themselves takes full responsibility for everything that they do
The printers name is not on the bottle, the website creator name may or not be on the website.
I remember a segment on Shark Tank where two individuals invented this cap for cooking that kept cook's hair in some type of good shape (I may be incorrect on some details of the invention).
They sold a decent number and handed out samples of the cap. Well of course the cap was non flamable as it was being used in a kitchen enviroment however when one of the Sharks looked at the caps label it stated flamable.
When brought to their attention they claimed it was a printing error. Well they didn't get the investment because they blamed the company that printed the label and did not take responsibility.
As they were told "It is your responsibility to make sure the details are correct and take not taking responsibility made their product not investment worthly"
I guess that is the difference between us
I want Calkin to concentrate on what he is best at and leave the day to day details to someone else while you want a one man show that will be overloaded and burnt out in the near future
I want long term success and a high PPS and uplisting while you seek a short term gain such as 2 to 10 cents as you stated
So you are happy for 2 cents next few weeks?
I am looking for dollars in the future and dividends plus uplisting in the future
So who has more belief in the company and the industry that they are in?
The upcoming elections (which are in Novemeber the last time I chaecked) will have very little to do with MMJ stocks.
What will be the success of GRCU is products and revenue just like in any industry and the way the do their buisness such as products in stock, quality products, fast shipping, outstanding customer service. Promises are for short term investors (flippers) wanting the company to perform and build a first class organization is for real investors that want real returns.
I prefer the Ferrari type return vs. the Prius type returns.
And some startups must learn from their mistakes
Time to learn and correct when you are small as when you start to grow small mistakes grow into BIG $$$ losses
A small mistake on a label or website now doesn't mean much in loss sales as website visits and product sales are small however in the future when website visits could be in the thousands per day and product shipped with label mistakes in the hundreds per day will effect sales and show an unprofessionally operated company
The glasses being worn now must be clear and with large magnification to catch and correct the mistakes, wearing the rose colored glasses and shrugging your shoulders at these small mistakes could ruin a company before it gets out of the block
There is a differnce between a shareholder and a stockholder. A shareholder cares about the details and wants the company to correct little mistakes quickly and efficently while a stockholder is more worried about a short term burst in the PPS often posting a PPS that they want so they can sell. Check out those here that are ra-ra-ra I want to see XXX, post in colors and always bold and in caps so I'll be happy and sell vs those that accumulate at dips and holding long for the future.
There are so many retiree's out there that would love to join a small startup company like GRCU working maybe 3 day weeks or even 6 hours day that could add so much value and take on these daily tasks
Their experience would be of so much value and as the company grows they can train someone
I would also bet that they could also get some funding from the state to help pay a portion of their salary. Even a vet who have supply experience in the military could be hired to take on the back of the house
The people out there are endless for such a small expense and their value would be tremendous
I agree to a certain extent...the company has found it's home in the PPS for now
I look at it as the MM and flippers have lost their niche and can not make large amounts of $$$ by causing huge swings in the PPS
They are slowly moving on while those of us believe in the long term future continue to add shares at these low prices. It is a buying opportunity to accumulate. Those shares being put into the longs hands weekly reduce the available shares for the MM and flippers to play with
What is positive is that at these prices the company has not gone out to hype the stock with paid promotions (we have our share of hypesters here weekly declaring the stock will go to the moon etc.)
The company is making moves and hinding it's niche. The company does need to spend a little cash however to add a quality body or two to run the day to day buisness as it adds products.
When all is in place the sales will begin and revenue coming in so the company can stand on its own. The revenue will drive the PPS and that will take another six months are so.
I agree this one has the "potential" to be a major player with the right people and management in place
We currently lack the proper "back of house" person in the company
If and when that person is hired and put in place this one has the "potential" to grow in the next two or three years
A number of us have put our money behind the long term potential of GRCU
Will take time to develop and those that weekly make claims that this is going to the moon this week, it's the greatest company in the buisness, Calkin is gods gift to the world do more harm than good
Major companies weren't built in a day, week, month or year
Be patient and you could be rewarded, I am betting on it in the meantime expect highs and lows more blunders than successes as the company builds. It is all part of the development process
Stay strong and don't invest more than you can lose
Just because Kush is not in the "drink" buisness doesn't mean they can't develop a product.
Honda was never in the aircraft industry and now they make one of the top private buisness jets in the world
It is called desire, hiring the proper person as either a direct employee or as a consultant
Happens every day of the year
The company I work for develops new products every year that are not in our expertise yet we do so by bringing on a consultant or a direct employee and the rest of us learn from them
Was Apple ever in the phone buisness? Was GM ever in the electric car buisness?
Weak point to bring up
You are incorrect...if I sell at the end of the year it would be as I stated.
Please speak for yourself and not for me.
I sense your agression and if you beleive it is a SCAM then so be it
I make my decisions on my own and I have done very well being patient
I am not a day trader, a flipper not someone that moves from one stock to another
No doubt that Manny and Chris do not run the buisness well however their is a new CEO and has made some changes to the website etc.
I agree no new products have yet to be added however as someone who makes their living in the Product Development field I know how long it takes to bring a product out and in the majority of the cases dates are not made
Thanks
I was traveling a lot this week and overall disappointed with the PPS action. Sometimes it is better to regroup then fly off the handle when things are not going well
I invest in the company not one person
A great leader leads others a poor leader is a one man show who beleives that they are the only one that can do it
Calkin should be building his team now not later, Calkin should be looking forward and what is next for the company. He should not be proof reading labels, taking customer service calls, ordering inventory, shipping product etc.
My mentor whom a reported to 15 years ago was the best boss I ever had. Why is that? Because he had 100% trust in those that reported to him. He guided us and we worked as a team. He laid down the foundation for our department and laid down yearly goals for us to meet. He was a leader and a mentor not a one man show.
He also make a statement that I will never forget "I hire people that are smarter than me in their respected positions because I can't know everything"
Anyone that believes that Calkin can be successful with GRCU just because he is he and no one else matters is living in a cave.
GRCU can only succeed with a CEO that leads and a support staff that is experiened in their fields. One man can not do it all
First off there is no need to curse. That was uncalled for no matter in what context it was used
At the end of the year Matt would have been in office about about six months which give him time for some of his work to take shape and show improvement in the company. No where did I indicate that all those products had to be available.
If I see improvement then I will continue to hold, if I don't see any I'll take the end of year loss to apply towards my gains.
Simple investment planning. It's called offsetting gains with losses if I need it. Of course if progress is made then I would be foolish to sell and let it ride further
Well said my friend
One man can not do it all
Sorry I disagree as when Calkin is in CCI mode GRCU is an afterthought, if mentioned at the end of interviews etc
CCI is his baby and GRCU is a "work in progress"
Calkin needs to turn over the day to day operations to a dedicated individual. Why does the CEO is any case need to be worried about inventory, websites, emails, phone calls, shipping, customer service?
That is the job of another individual
Let's be real how many interviews etc. has he done focused 100% on GRCU? I bet you couldn't count them on one hand
If Calkin gets someone to take those responsibilites from him I assure you that you would see a 100% turnaround in the company within 30 days.
The back of the house at GRCU is out to lunch, there is no one running the ship. I good GM is well worth the investment sooner than later
I am in 100% total agreement here
My shares are with GRCU and not CCI and I expect the CEO to eat sleep and dream GRCU
Calkin is juggling too many hats and in the end I hate to say that us longs could suffer from this
I have called for Calkin to hire a GM to run the day to day operations of the company and he take a leadership role so he can work his deals
The devil is in the details and the company is suffering from the small details being ignored such as poor customer service, product not in stock ie CB Oil pills, mispelling on labels, late shipments, little to no response to emails and phone calls etc.
Granted Calkin took over a new venture however he has been in office for 6 months now and these issues should have been taken care of by now
To build an empire you have to put the right people in place to take care of day to day buisness while the head man can look to the future
Everyone familiar with contracts know that vendors are not allowed to divulge details, product development, product releases etc directly to anyone other than their customer.
It is in violation of any contract between customer and vendor
On the other hand why would he confirm nor deny when contracts haven't yet been signed or being revised?
If and when the time comes that the deal is done it will be announced. Why would he confirm it to one individual versus all the shareholders at the same time?
There are lawyers involved and the back and forth of the details and lawyers can hold these things up for months.
I have no proof that those two products will be released as you have no proof that the products will not be released
You make claims that Matt is a liar and he has been in office for only a few months working on reversing the wrongs of prior management
It is impossible for someone to take the reins of a company and in a couple of months turn the company around
I am giving him till the end of the year to see what happens which is a reasonable amount of time to see what he does with the company
I would not hesitate to say that over 95% of all public (as well as private) companies have missed deadlines not once, not twice but three times or more
Moot point that prior or current management has missed deadlines...it happens with virtually every company
Have people made millions on trading ANAS? I am sure MM have and that is it.
Remember any director of a public company must report all their trades both buys and sells. No one has published any reports submitted that these trades have taken place.
Now can it happen and they don't report them? Yes however in the end they will be caught and fined or jailed. Until that happens it is pure speculation on anyone's part. Remember the laws of the U.S. state that you are innocent under proven guilty. Anyone with evidence must report them to the proper authorities.
Who me?
I am still here...
A company does not have to have a product out to be considered to be part of a market segment.
It can have product(s) in development to be a part of a segment
Happens all the time when a company wishes to enter a market segment announcing that they are being part of a segment as they are developing product
Case in point before Apple sold IPhones they put out the message that they were going to enter the cell phone buisness...happens all the time
When a drug company wants to enter a new market segment for a new drug they announce that they are entering the market to gather interest...happens all the time
When GM wanted to enter the electric car market they made an announcement years ahead of having a model to sell...happens all the time
ANAS is not a SCAM with proven products being sold
Not just my opinion but also fact
If the MMJ is heating up and ANAS is not part of the MMJ sector then why even bring it up here?
Good job.. starting an investment portfolio will do you good in the long run
Word of advice is invest more than $10 at a time so you don't get rocked with broker fees
Either way welcome to the LTNC shareholder family and hold long and strong...add shares when you can afford to
OK filled by hand currently?
What is the big deal?
As volume increases then an automated system can be used. I see no issue with it
When you have a prescription filled at any pharmacy at least 95% are filled by hand
I am not saying that what ANAS sells are the same products than a pharmacy however the situation is the same. Volume dictates automation.
focamine is available for sale and can be purchased via Amazon
You are correct that they are not selling direct currently and changing their buisness model putting sale in the hands of distributors and dealers
What is wrong with that? Does Coke sell to the general public direct? What about GM? Ford? and on and on
They all use a distribution channel or dealer network which is exactly what Matt is working on and doing. Maybe it will be successful and maybe not. If it doesn't I am sure that they will sell direct again
Matt is trying a different buisness model
WOW a SCAM?
A company that has multiple offices, opening more, generating revenue and employing people is a SCAM
Again putting people to work and calling the company a SCAM
Again putting people who want to work to work and not collecting food stamps, welfare, etc.
Fake?
Products are being sold hardly a fake company
