And it's a good opinion as well. If that's the case and there was No booth presence, then you may be right. We may hear little to nothing.
Prudent move on the part of the company. Not to bolster the PPS, but simply to report any material events. The thinking here is GRCU will have one. I won't be sure or guess until we hear it from the horses mouth, but even to report on the outcome of the sponsorship and event highlights. Shareholders are due.
I've been doing a tremendous amount of research on the sector. Reading much of the articles and information being posted and harkening this MMJ movement and GRCUs attempt to lead the charge back to the advent of computers. A very new and fresh sector with a large amount of will behind it. Not only Governmental focus, but the focus of the people and voters. Above and beyond any catalyst we can have, any momentum shift for GRCU that brings it into focus, our main catalyst will be time and public opinion. I've seen a new push onto twitter and facebook, marijuana special interests, magazine and bloggers publishing strong opinions. Softening laws. Major conventions and events. Schools and curriculum. This really is just the tip of the iceberg.
There is a subtle change I'd like to see as we move forward. A shift in perception as more facts come to light for Green Cures. GRCU is nothing more then a stock ticker for something that really isn't tangible. We buy GRCU and sell it. There is nothing special about GRCU, however there may be something very special about Green Cures and Botanical Distributions. A little semantics, but when more investors start focusing on the company and stop focusing on just another sub penny ticker, with all of the pressure building, with stronger hands holding and believing in Green Cures, I think we have the ability to go on a svery pecial run. We're still at the starting line. This sector will explode. I don't say that as fact, but a very strong opinion based upon a country in the flux of monumental change. I've been it saying over and over. If we search for a few people to lead the charge, through regulation, education, products, production, quality, authenticity and sheer love and passion for the business, I really do like our chances with Green Cures. Is this the the weekend we begin to kick down the door?
Is there a stream for the ICA event? Someone from here there??
Nice. They're moving forward. Doesn't matter what we think or how impatient people get here. I like it.
Very true with the last statement, but I don't know too many other penny stock companies who are in front of big time media with this kind of attention and opportunity. I also know NO other MMJ CEOs who may be at the forefront of regulation and product distribution.
Wouldn't it be nice if Robert had a quicky with CNBC with a, "by the way, I am the CEO of Green Cures."
Lots of media. A ton of opportunity for Green Cures. I strongly believe they're booth will be making noise with the media. The, "oh and by the way, Calkin is our CEO," one liner needs to be used often this weekend.
I agree, I think it'll be a booming success for CCI and many will come away impressed with them. We can still wish for a cheap plug or two, eh. ;)
Would you do that if you knew your private company were speaking in front of a political group? If you thought you could garner more attention for CCI and you also knew that your public entity were somewhere in the backseat, would you want as many media outlets there as possible? I would. Forget the money, he's already very well off from CCI, books etc. he wants maximum exposure. Now, if he's doing it because it's weak attendance based upon the facts you dug up...... Fill in the blanks.
I actually agree with some of what your saying. However, I'm not sure what you think the benefit of Robert removing himself will bring to Green Cures. If there were a rational and logical candidate to replace him with his experience and connections perhaps there'd be equal benefit in the future. I would, however have liked to see a melding of the companies, but that looks to be off the table for now. It is still quite early in the game for this start-up. The jury is still out, but facts keep supporting the potential, if not the PPS currently.
The website is one of the little annoyances that Robo, DTL and myself gripe about on occasion. As I said a moment ago, perception is reality here and weekly means just that. Last time it was two weeks for the balm. If best laid plans are delayed I'd imagine it's fairly easy to remove the weekly advertisement when clearly we are not getting products weekly. Agreed.
I'm with you DTL. my expectations are that CCI will be the main focus, but I'm hoping that GRCU picks up some decent exposure. One of the things that concerns me will be the perception Robert leaves if this is ALL about CCI. I don't want it to validate several points that posters in here are claiming, that it is his primary focus. My thought is, it must be his primary focus if it's the vehicle which is going to drive Green Cures, but I still know that perception here is 99% reality. It's fodder and fuel for the fire. Let's hope Calkin touches on one area you've mentioned, or at the very least speaks with someone or a group of someone's about his public company and their plans. It'll be very east for him to mention Green Cures and I hope he takes the opportunity to do so.
Just for clarification. Calkin did not say get "in" or it could be perceived as giving insider information or tipping off investors. He did say get involved. That could mean anything from join the MMJ movement, to join me in NYC. What makes it seem that he is talking about Green Cures is the follow-up, "or you'll be kicking yourself later." That's the message that many here are digesting. Pivotal weekend in Green Cures development, IMO.
I'm glad you're still around Grizz. Was more concerned that all was OK with you with a few days off. You're a staple and rock here.
Why aren't they here anymore?
I believe there will be plenty of chances for many investors to get into Green Cures long after the conference. To think that it will go on an historic run or major push come Tuesday morning would be overstating things. Obviously news trumps all, but if we continue to sit in this waiting pattern and this weekend comes and goes with major announcements for CCI, with little tie-in to GRCU, our PPS will do little and perhaps even drop further. I have no problem with it as this is a marathon, not a sprint. Maybe a sprint for day traders to load and dump on 1/10, but for those like me who will be here for years to see if this is a one of a kind penny the reality is still that.
Let's not put the cart before the horse yet. We don't know that Robert Calkin is going to focus on GRCU tomorrow? He'd be wise to bring a modicum of exposure to it, but his main focus still may be CCI. No denying that this is a great opportunity to expose media and main stream to Green Cures, and being on the floor of the convention will be great. However, we're still far off from celebrity endorsements and television spots. The stock is under a penny and has been running down. As I said yesterday, I do believe this weekend can be pivotal in Robert Calkins dedication toward his public company. It will be very easy for him to mention it, talk about allcbd.com and his plans to bring CBD to the market. Very easy. The question is, will he do it? If not, the value of the conference will be exposure. If he does, there will be much further reaching effects for GRCU. All IMO.
That'd be nice. Wouldn't mind seeing something with dollars connected to it either. Sort of like a partnership. Hence another major project announcement from Calkin on FB . I do not think he was referring to the certification program.
The GRCU intrigue builds. Let's have Meki and Robert blow the doors off for us. Pass that along for us :)
Total, complete, absolute speculation. True, forget it. The doors blow off. Pivotal weekend. "Another huge project "is still reverberating with me. Not a far stretch with this guess.
No disagreement and this is a nice opportunity to begin that process in front of a large and attentive audience. A couple of well placed conversations will go a long way, IMO
Gut check for GRCU and Calkin this weekend. He can either further entrench himself as the head of CCI and regulation and education or start wrapping in his public company as an important component of his plans to lead the movement. Important that GRCU is a sponsor and has some serious exposure in front of the media, public and politicians, but at some point Calkin needs to begin the conversation about GRCU and it's role. I believe one will lead the other. Huge opportunity this weekend, I hope he takes it.
No argument. I've bought anywhere from .0081 through .035 and all the way back to .0076. If I had more at this time I would have hammered the sixes without hesitation. GRCU and sector run is going to happen, IMO. Thinking Calkin delivers the goods this weekend and GRCU gets some major exposure as a sponsor on the convention floor.
Support is right here. Not a drop of sweat. Not an inkling of worry. GRCU needs investors. Brick and mortar folks. Penny players are not their interest, IMO. Still thinking Calkin blows the doors off this weekend. Still thinking this surges sooner or later. Waiting patiently and worry free.
Wall Street Journal headed to take the Beta folks. Check Meki Cox' FB post. Let's hope Calkin gets a few words in about GRCU.
check Meki Cox FB page. The Wall Street Journal is sending a reporter to take the Beta Test. Important step. Exposure, exposure, exposure. No matter how small, it benefits the public entity. That's a big deal.
Perhaps because he is serious and serious and OTC are foreign concepts to each other. Look at some of the comments tonight. Those who were strong supporters no longer support or own. The fire is gone some say. It's a sinking ship others say. We're only going to find that out as time goes by. I can say this though, to those who keep screaming red flag, scam. The stuff I'm using from the company I bought it from who actually shipped it to me, then gave me a refund on shipping because it took too long the first time around, seems pretty real, I can see it, read the label, apply it or put it in my food. I can even order more if I want. Big red flag there.
Perhaps he is spreading himself thin, but neither you, nor I, or anybody else in here will know that for sure except Calkin himself. Owning a private company and leading a public one has given me a distinct perspective on leadership qualities. Once those qualities are attained, or better yet if they're inherent, a good leader will rely on others to assist with running the day-to-day operations of a business. One man, including Robert Calkin can do CCI, or GRCU by himself. He needs to trust his advisory committee and his people to run his company within the scope of the vision he lays out. To say he needs to be there every day to make sure that is happening is not correct. To say that Robert isn't laying the foundation for GRCU through his private company also may not be correct. Business as usual today can be done in many forms, and again neither you nor I know what type of communication goes on between Robert and his people at GRCU. Can it be telephonic? Sure. Email? Absolutely. Heck, it can be through text message if it gets the directive through.
In this instance, we can respectfully agree to disagree about Robert Calkin stepping aside from GRCU. He has barely scratched the surface and has paved very little with this company in its infancy. Calkin has not demonstrated any lack of passion in his overall objectives, either through his public speaking engagements or media comments. He doesn't come across as a man who is remotely finished with Green Cures. I guess we will find out come June 15, 2015.
He hasn't listed himself as the CEO of GRCU on his facebook page since he took the position. Nor should he advertise himself as the CEO of a publicly traded company on a public forum where he can then be bombarded by questions and useless spam in his PMs. That opinion was one of the most absurd I've seen in quite some time.
I think I've softened my view on the Hemperor bit. I left that to the pie in the sky to the moon crew who left the room. If he can keep it down and just stay away from the self-inflicted wounds, the criteria you pointed out May do the rest for us. Like Muskie said early, I either succeed with it or they bury me in the same cemetery with the rest who go down.
I am keeping count lazer. If only for my own edification. It's nice to know who the brick and mortar GRCU holders are. You're on my list.
The subtle hints are killing me Apostle.
I do have some bad news and some good news for many here. After chatting with several privately and reading into PRs and statements made to me by Robert Calkin through FB as well as Romeo Cruz through emails, I've come to some conclusions.
Robert Calkin does not care about us. Not one iota. He is not concerning himself with impatient individuals who are disgruntled, upset, angry or want something from him and GRCU without giving something back. Herein lies the good news for some of us. MADD can attest to this and so can Apostle. Robert Calkin wants investors. He wants people who are willing to give him something. He wants and needs patience from people and understanding that what he's undertaken is a multi-pronged task. He needs investors to give him the time and trust him and themselves in knowing what they own based on their own research. He doesn't need day folks and I don't think he really concerns himself with that aspect of the OTC. It's certainly an aspect we have to concern ourselves with because here is where GRCU finds itself.....for now.
I've read the FB post a few times already and I think Calkin is speaking to investors therein. He is excited beyond New York because of his experience and because he knows, beyond every single person in here, what is really coming within this sector. He is telling investors subtly that he is at the doorstep and he needs people to get involved. He practically blurts it out. "Kick yourself later." And maybe you don't get involved with GRCU and maybe you think another ticker is a better opportunity, and that's fine. The fact of the matter though, is the facts keep piling up for our company.
Over the last couple of trading sessions we have seen some of our own move to other tickers. It's certainly not a large stretch to think that it effected GRCUs PPS when people in here are selling large chunks of their shares. I say good luck to them wherever they go and however they decide to spend their money. It's not going to sway me from being the type of investor that Robert Calkin needs. He needs nuts and bolts people to create the foundation for him while he is busy kicking the door open for this sector.
So it starts with CCI. His private company. He is spending a great deal of his time with it and it is upsetting some. That is bad news for those people. Others find major fault and red flags with it. For investors in GRCU that is great news. Regulation, education, accountability, authenticity through testing, then full blown product lines. Not the cart before the horse. It seems that part of Roberts grand plan is to allow his successful private firm to lead the way, while he paves the wave for his public entity. Why mention anything now? With so much pending, with political influences in play, with this environment ripe for Calkin and any other tickers CEO who is smart enough to keep whispering, just roll out the plan in a step-by-step manner following every legal and political standard. Think about it. It just makes good logical sense.
Bottom line is GRCU is where it is and it is going to prevail or not on its merits with the help of CCI, it's present mainstreaming and the help of some solid investors to boot. I like our chances. Good news for some.
Long GRCU
Could the super huge project be with Stanley? We are going to find out in a few days.
Wow 2.5 million. Nice!!! GRCU
So do I. That was a classic CEO trick we use. Read between the lines. I agree with you.
I don't think it's the certification program. That's mentioned already. He specifically says another super huge project. CCI? GRCU? A combination. I'm definitely intrigued.
We still get the residuals, either way. Regulation and education from CCI and products from GRCU. Exposure is key. We need Calkin to speak about GRCU, or at least mention us as part of the equation. I think he will.
Absolutely. Read between the lines. Get involved now. Translation for me. Buy more GRCU and lock it tight.
