FYI - that is a standard disclaimer
sure ya are..WELCOME to ihub since you were just born
another GGP/VSTN/CEM/PIR scenerio? all Q's and huge runs...
Pip paid the piper
Keep trying to spin, or cover your short
B/c it's up about 30%+, profit takers... You're short just like Pip... Sorry and good luck
Pip, you will do the same LOL
what a way to steal cheap shares!
closing the gap at $4.25...
BINGO-also they are institutions and not selling into the general public. How would a couple institutions be ab;e to buy shares while NOT increasing the shares price by forcing them to buy on the open market...
whats happening right here
THINK - makes sense to slam the price the day before the weekend and the week before the settlement/trial
settlment would be shares in GOOG perhaps so not immediate $$$ for VRNG... hence needing money and the news this morning
Cheryl Shuman has some of those shares now?
Amazing what's shorts try and do
WOW you're short, that sucks for you
Whoa - the movie made a difference
Over 300 Economists Agree: It’s Time to Legalize Marijuana
Will be a hot topic to debate for election season....
Erik Altieri, NORML Communications CoordinatorApril 17, 2012
Over 300 economists have signed on to an open letter to the President, Congress, Governors, and State Legislators asking them to allow this “country to commence an open and honest debate about marijuana prohibition.” The petition states that the undersigned “believe such a debate will favor a regime in which marijuana is legal but taxed and regulated like other goods.”
Notably, three of the economists who have already signed on are Nobel Laureates. Three hundred plus additional economic scholars have already signed on, you can view the list and more details here. Full text of the petition letter is below:
We, the undersigned, call your attention to the attached report by Professor Jeffrey A. Miron, The Budgetary Implications of Marijuana Prohibition. The report shows that marijuana legalization — replacing prohibition with a system of taxation and regulation — would save $7.7 billion per year in state and federal expenditures on prohibition enforcement and produce tax revenues of at least $2.4 billion annually if marijuana were taxed like most consumer goods. If, however, marijuana were taxed similarly to alcohol or tobacco, it might generate as much as $6.2 billion annually.
The fact that marijuana prohibition has these budgetary impacts does not by itself mean prohibition is bad policy. Existing evidence, however, suggests prohibition has minimal benefits and may itself cause substantial harm.
We therefore urge the country to commence an open and honest debate about marijuana prohibition. We believe such a debate will favor a regime in which marijuana is legal but taxed and regulated like other goods. At a minimum, this debate will force advocates of current policy to show that prohibition has benefits sufficient to justify the cost to taxpayers, foregone tax revenues, and numerous ancillary consequences that result from marijuana prohibition.
The desperation smells
Soap opera = company loving it!
Emotions are high and they will stress test shareholders
Just a thought...
will churn for weeks and weeks in the low teens, then 4-6+ weeks an annoucement
everyones got a thought, theres mine!
Prolong it longer=price drifts down=people sell=more shares for them and cheaper and they can justify a lowball offer
I've done the last part, I couldn't feel my face
No joke
What could the "something else" be?
so they dont need shareholder approval/votes to complete this, this would seem that shareholders are NOT to benefit as if they had voting powers and it didnt benefit shareholders, there would huge pushback and perhaps courts involved...
so it sems since they laid the groundwork to not have shareholders have a say in this, seems something bad is on the horizon for shareholders.... no voting power, cant speak up.
thoughts?
I would think with the recent filing people would buy more but it shaved off 30% and a lot of people sold. I suspect this heads down more and if this takes another month or so... Be back to where we started...
But what I don't get is if this is good, news leaks before hand so why wasn't it up 30% as there "should" be a massive premium, no?
Also - can this be completed with shareholders holding the bag?
acum/disti took a spike to the downside,the leak happened and aparantly its not good
wow, gap to .05 on monday? glad I'm on the sidelines here
Agree - that's why I'm on the sidelines, emotions get high and when the company doesn't release anything it goes down.
The hype is flowing but if it happens it will happen on its own timeline.
Financials might not even come out, thy aren't obligated to release now that theyre on the pinks.
SHOW me something and I'll buy
save your receipt?
What's the earliest and latest fins come out?
yesterday was simply shorts covering,back down it seems
Only a scenario - worst case, as you say, would be no release on April 1st
Not sure why you picked that day outside of "fools day"
Then it will be over a year in the making
Why do that when you can just move the "event" 4-6+ months down the road and shake shares in the .06-.09 area.
4, 3, 2, 1....

uncle, will revist, ty everyone
i agree and disagree - i agree this is leaning more towards #2 but this "deal" may not be the complete glory most are expecting... as if everyone is tied together then im sure they can acquire the company for pennies on the dollar but provide the aquired higher ups a kickback or something to that effect...
not saying this is going worst case scenerio and not saying its going to be best case scenerio... its in the middle obviously but it will benefit the partaking group, not "outside" people
just my thoughts
question is....
will shareholders benefit from a sale. a sale at .05 doesnt see seems like a benefit (5Mish?)
Single digits cometh
Google had incredible consistent growth to start, wonder what rev would be here after 8 quarters of avg 60% growth
