A really big deal with a major pet food company involving cats and dogs replacing yeast with SRB might require a lot of money. Thus bring in the Jersey company to get more rice for Golden Ridge, Mermentau and Lake Charles are already discussed as involved.. Nothing else makes sense. But, if so, they need to PR it yesterday. Otherwise, this is scary. No matter what is going on good or bad, MATERIAL INFORMATION IS BEING WITHHELD FROM SHAREHOLDERS.
Edson crossed my mind too. I'll give them slack til They PR this.
RIBT, at the 8/11 filings they had $5,000,000 cash. The were very close to cash flow neutral. I wonder what they did not tell us at the 8/11 CC. I totally lost confidence in the management.
Hearing aids are now available over the counter at Walmart, Walgreens, CVS and Best Buy
I don't know how one would invest in this.
Summary:
Walgreens on Monday started selling hearing aids over the counter at its stores for $799 a pair.
CVS is selling over the counter devices on its website with prices ranging from $199 to $999.
Best Buy this week will also start offering 20 different over-the-counter hearing aids online with prices ranging from $200 to $3,000.
Hy-Vee, a supermarket chain, will offer four different hearing aids online and in 34 locations across Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Wisconsin this week.
The FDA issued a rule in August that allowed over-the-counter sales of hearing aids for adults ages 18 and older with mild to moderate hearing loss.

On August 11th, the future of RIBT NEVER LOOKED BETTER. I believe RIBT had 5M cash and was already shipping to a new customer. I don't know what they can come up with to save their credibility. They don't have much credibility at this terrible moment in the companies history. With what we were told on August 11th, I really don't think they told us the whole story.

RiceBran Technologies Taps Local Industry Expert to Enhance Golden Ridge Operations, Enabling Increased Focus on Value-Added Opportunities and Sustainable Profitability
https://greenstocknews.com/news/nasdaq/ribt/ricebran-taps-local-industry-expert-to-enhance-golden-ridge-operations-enabling-increased-focus-on-value-added-opportunities-and-sustainable-profitability
RiceBran Technologies (NASDAQ:RIBT) (the "Company"), a global leader in the development and manufacture of nutritional and functional ingredients derived from rice and other small and ancient grains for human food, nutraceutical, pet care and equine feed applications, announced it has formed an agreement with Gander Foods, LLC, a food industry consulting firm founded by rice industry veteran Steven Weinreb, under which Gander Foods will engage JT Ferguson, owner and operator of Cormier Rice, to provide management services to our Golden Ridge Rice Mills facility ("Golden Ridge"), enabling RiceBran to expand its focus on value-added ingredient opportunities.
Highlights of the Agreement:
Deal places sourcing, selling, and operations of Golden Ridge in hands of local expert.
RiceBran expects rapid improvement in Golden Ridge's adjusted EBITDA contribution.
Gander Foods expected to purchase RiceBran equity, aligning it with RiceBran's shareholders.
As part of the agreement, Mr. Ferguson, will oversee the day-to-day operations, for Golden Ridge. Mr. Ferguson is a third-generation rice miller of significant stature in the regional rice market. He brings an extensive network of local farmers for sourcing grain for the mill, with a proven track record of operating Cormier Rice.
"We have significantly improved operations at Golden Ridge over the past 18 months, driving an expected 30-40% increase in revenue in 2022 vs. 2021, following similar gains in 2021 vs. 2020," commented Peter Bradley, Executive Chairman of RiceBran. "This progress was the result of higher volumes, increased efficiencies, and higher milling yields. While these improvements have significantly reduced adjusted EBITDA losses for the mill, overall results have been constrained by our processes for sourcing and selling rice."
Mr. Bradley continued, "We expect rapid improvement in profitability at Golden Ridge from Mr. Ferguson's ability to implement the successful Cormier business model for grain sourcing and finished rice sales, and under Mr. Ferguson's guidance, Golden Ridge should be able to achieve further operating improvements. With these improvements, we believe there is an opportunity to expand the mill's production schedule from its current 5-days per week to 6 or 7 days per week, further increasing Golden Ridge's revenue and adjusted EBITDA."
The agreement is structured to align Gander Foods with RiceBran's shareholders. In exchange for Gander Foods' services, RiceBran will pay Gander Foods an initial one-time fee, and Gander Foods has agreed to use this payment to purchase unvested RiceBran common stock, which will vest in equal installments over three years, subject to Gander Foods' continuous service to Golden Ridge. Subsequently, Gander Foods will receive quarterly performance payments based on a percentage of Golden Ridge's positive adjusted EBITDA contribution and is expected to use these payments to purchase additional RiceBran common

New SEC filing out. Issuing restricted shares, no new money to be raised, shares to cover Ganders fee. I find little about GANDER FOODS LLC. They are a new company in 2022. I would certainly expect a PR tomorrow. This could lead to something big? Hope so.

I have been trading stocks for 40 years, and I have NEVER seen average volume go from like 250,000 shares traded daily to less than 10,000 in a short period of time. I suspect someone is going to get very rich, and it won't be shorts since the most you can get is a "double your money"

I agree with the 5G possibility but maybe COVID so called vaccines as well.
I follow the Minneapolis papers obituaries. It started in the early 2000's when my dad died and my mother was 1/2 blind and could not read. I looked in the Obits for her friends. As time went on I started seeing my friends too. Any way... I saw the 2 week average before and during the COVID so called pandemic, the 2 week average was usually about 360. I wish I had kept track written down. But, it stayed about the same until like 6 weeks ago as it jumped to 450 for the two week average. Yes, it varied during COVID too, like around major holidays it was less and after more, few funerals around holidays.
Last week it was 450
This week 461, looking now tonight 472, tomorrows might have more. But I count Wednesday.
If this keeps going, that is scary. 25% and growing compounded each year and yikes.
I feel it could be COVID vaccines or 5G or a combination or both. In late July, in my condo with 36 units 3 residents had COVID(so their Dr's said) and all 3 had the 2 shots and 2 or 3 boosters. 1 had a booster 1 week earlier and I saw his black and blue tennis ball sized mark on his are 2 days after booster 3. Nobody else had it, and this building has many who have not had boosters. I am going to keep track weekly, hope this is a blip, but it has hung around here for 6+ weeks now.
gfp, where do you live? It would be fun to see how you local obits fair weekly. Numbers here get skewed upward on weekends. They might count 3 Sundays in the 2 week average or such. I always use Wednesday or my number.

Beyond Meat suspends COO following arrest
Some stories one could not make up
https://www.fooddive.com/news/beyond-meat-suspends-coo-doug-ramsey-arrest/632332/
The plant-based meat company said Senior Vice President of Manufacturing Operations Jonathan Nelson will perform the job in the interim.
Beyond Meat suspended Chief Operating Officer Doug Ramsey after his arrest on charges related to what police say was a road rage-inspired physical altercation after a University of Arkansas football game on Saturday.
According to reporting from local TV news station KNWA, Ramsey was charged with terroristic threatening and third-degree battery. A police report cited by the television station said Ramsey punched through the back windshield of another vehicle that inched in front of his vehicle while exiting the parking garage, making contact with his passenger-side tire. The report said the other driver got out of his vehicle and Ramsey pulled him close, punching his body and biting his nose, ripping flesh off the tip. The victim and witnesses said they heard Ramsey “threaten to kill” the driver.
Ramsey was booked into the jail in Washington County, Arkansas, and has a court appearance scheduled on Oct. 19.
In its statement, Beyond Meat gave no dates or conditions about Ramsey’s suspension, but said Senior Vice President of Manufacturing Operations Jonathan Nelson will oversee operations activities in the interim.
Ramsey joined Beyond Meat in December, following a 30-year career at meat giant Tyson. He served in a wide variety of positions at the meat company, including as head of retail poultry operations and president of McDonald’s business. At the time of his hire, he was seen as an experienced operator who could help Beyond Meat come through a rough period, as sales of plant-based meat were beginning to slow and the high growth rate the company had seen was quickly moderating.
Since Ramsey came aboard, there have been few improvements in Beyond Meat’s finances and business outlook. Growth has not returned to its previous levels. In March, the company released a new plant-based jerky product through its joint venture with PepsiCo, but the equipment and internal work necessary for a brand new type of product at a massive distribution scale led to an immediate net loss of more than $100 million. As the company tried to focus on growth in the face of the current inflationary climate, it laid off about 4% of its workforce in efforts to keep internal costs down.
Nelson, who has been with Beyond Meat for a year and five months, served as interim chief operating officer for seven months last year, prior to Ramsey’s hiring. He previously spent nine years at SunOpta, serving as vice president of plant-based food and beverage operations, and before that in manufacturing and operations roles for paper packaging maker Pactiv Evergreen.

Both sides of every issue exaggerate. Time tells who was right. Remember all the awful 5G stories when it first came out. 5G is everywhere now and no negative stories floating around. Politically on either side "I don't believe anything I hear and only half of what I see", don't remember whose quote I just used. EV's have turned into sort of a political issue.
Hertz will order up to 175,000 EVs from General Motors, including BrightDrop vans
https://techcrunch.com/2022/09/20/hertz-will-order-up-to-175000-evs-from-general-motors-including-brightdrop-vans/
Eco-conscious vehicle renters can soon expect to see EVs from GM brands Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and even commercial delivery unit BrightDrop at Hertz rental locations.
The car rental giant said Tuesday it plans to order up to 175,000 electric vehicles from General Motors over the next five years, with first deliveries of Chevy Bolt EVs and EUVs expected to begin in the first quarter of 2023. Given GM’s extensive upcoming electric vehicle lineup, everything from compact cars to SUVs to pickup trucks to luxury vehicles will be available for rent through Hertz by 2027. Notably, GM’s new commercial EV unit BrightDrop will make its Zevo 600 van available to Hertz.
The GM order is the latest in a string of deals aimed at boosting Hertz’s EV portfolio.
Hertz has previously signed deals with Polestar and Tesla to order up to 65,000 and 100,000 EVs, respectively, in service of its goal to have 25% of its fleet be electric by the end of 2024. The scale of this deal is much larger and an indicator of GM’s production plans.
Historically, automakers haven’t flaunted purchase agreements with daily rental fleets since the cars, trucks and SUVs are typically sold at a discount. However, the market has treated other recent EV fleet deals differently perhaps because it’s considered a bullish sign for electric vehicles. The Tesla-Hertz partnership, for instance, was received positively by investors.
Shares of GM are down 5.77% to $39. Hertz shares dropped 2.76% to $17.98.
“Our work with Hertz is a huge step forward for emissions reduction and EV adoption that will help create thousands of new EV customers for GM,” said GM chair and CEO Mary Barra in a statement. “With the vehicle choice, technology and driving range we’re delivering, I’m confident that each rental experience will further increase purchase consideration for our products and drive growth for our company.”
After initial deliveries of Chevy Bolts next year, GM deliveries to Hertz are expected to increase rapidly alongside GM’s production increases between 2023 and 2025, when GM’s Ultium Cells battery cell plants in Ohio, Tennessee and Michigan are expected to open. GM has said it is planning for an annual production capacity of 1 million EVs in North America by 2025.
