WOW! What caused this to take off?
Thinking about loading up on this one. Any thoughts? Looks like a solid buy at this price.
Washington State has their "Prop-19" vote this next year. We have a 46% Vote in California that indeed is an indicator that the State of Washington could push the door open and finally shut Pandora's box of DEA and ATF agents friendly fire on innocent American vegtable farmers and patients using their products as tax paying members of a free society.
Democracy, while one for all and all for one, is still a mechanism of peer-pressure. Eventually this damn is going to burst open and break.
The only thing holding it back is the fact organized crime and law enforcement profit so much from this racket that they can't afford to give up the bone in their mouth.
Today four people were murdered in Newark, and the body count is rising because they laid off 160 police officers last month while cities like Boulder COlorado ADDED police officers to their ranks!
Governor CHristie is in Disney World riding Dumbo the Elephant, his Lieutenant GOvernor is sucking down martini's in the southern sun, and Joshua Kocses and Steve Sweeney are left here in Trenton getting the shit kicked out of us by mother nature and murdering unpoliced thugs running through the unprotected streets. The tax revenue alone New Jersey would have collected from the already on-going sale of marijuana on the grey-market alone would have been $300,000,000.00 in the past 12 months based on the DEA's estimates. That would have protected those Newark police officer's jobs and we wouldn't have just created the potential for a repeat of the "Newark Riots".
We need a change, and it has to come from the Whitehouse. Obama isn't a pussy, he's got guts, and I think he can do it with a handful of republicans supporting him, because if no one else in my party will stand up for what is right, I WILL.
And it takes 45 minutes for the EMTs, Police, and Fire to respond to a burning building with two U-Conn students calling 911 repeatedly for help, but the cops will come out with guns blazing and respond to a marijuana bust in less than four point two seconds because they get to keep part of the bounty they reposes, like the cars, homes, guns, and money they label these vegtable farmers as criminals and obscond with for their own department's profit.
Oh, shucks. Well, that too.
PAYDATE SET!!! Our brokerage accounts will have our dividends posted in the year 2025. My sources on the mother-ship tell me that's how long it takes the people running this show to sell gold and milk the cows for as much butter as they can churn.
Is this a pair of gold mines in Arizona or are we launching a mission to harvest rocks from Mars and bring them back to earth with remote control robots? Because seriously, we are going to see NASA put men, or women, or whatever San Fransisco can muster, on another planet and bring back rocks from MARS with their own hands before FFGO will post any dividend with any added value to an account in anyone's brokerage.
Jestfully I ask; how can someone be wearing shorts if they are naked? Seriously, it's truely an oxymoron in the case of CBIS. I guess, in this case the Emperor's new clothes could be made of hemp, but none the less we're alike the same; in that anyone who would short the largest agrarian cash crop in America which is the largest agricultural exporter in the world, on the eve before the dawn of the new day when we look back at Prohibition as a thing of the past, would have to be a fool.
Surfs up dude, :\, I see a set of waves off in the distance. Not big, but definately worth a ride to shore.
I like your spelling error, because I agree we meed to be the example, show compassion, and give the Prohibitionists a way out and a; "shoot"='parachute', and not fire a single shot. Somehow I have served in the Marines and the New Jersey Army National Guard, in places like Haiti and disaster areas and such alike, and by the grace of God, while I have been shot at numerous times, I have never had to fire a single shot or kill anyone. Somehow, where ever we went, and whatever we did, we found a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
In this war, a war against the ignorant brutality of the elite & elect, my whole point here, we need to do just like you said, and give them our best "chute".
Bradley I agree. First of all it wasn't a non-shareholder who had a problem with the identity of the CEO with a Linked-In and Facebook page to verifiy the credibility, it was freaking dozens of shareholders who were screaming shinanigans because any other company has a picture and bio of the CEO on their website with FACTUAL information, not fraudulent information. When Press Releases said they were paying cash dividend on a certain pay date and no cash dividend was paid, people threw in the towel and called in the refs to blow the whistle and end the game. Ed Hayter is making no sense in his statement. Everyone in this chat room knew the SEC was asking BIHC for the information regarding their revenue sources, the legitamacy of their executive officer's identity, the Applebeese deal, the TAKK Box deal, and other issues, how could the company not have gotten one e-mail, snail mail, phone call, or notice the SEC was asking? Any CEO of a commpany who was being listed at the top of the "Top 15 most active stocks" on I-HUb that didn't know or wasn't aware, or didn't have the common sense to hire someone to be aware is as negligent as the PA system operator telling everyone in Tower II to go back to their workstations everything is ok, while a freaking plane is sticking out of the window and people are jumping off the 82nd floor on fire.....We tried to use the "Dumb Pollock" defence with Tyco and Dennis Kislowski a few years ago, it didn't work for him, how is it going to work for Chris Galo and Ed Hayter now? , you would have to be a complete fool to be the CEO of BIHC in 2008/2009/2010 and not be aware of the pending SEC suspsenion, and outright mutiny from shareholders who were lied to about a cash dividend, and a stock dividend which turned out to be nothing but a forward split with no net gain or added shareholder value.
"It is a shame that some or one disgruntled non-shareholder could or would interfere with the Company's operations by making unfounded allegations regarding our previous President to the effect that he did not exist is beyond comprehension," said Mr. Hayter.
Any guess on when we will see the NMGL shares in our accounts?
I agree, the second the Catholic church would face being forced to open it's books and let the IRS do an audit, they would not only reverse their stance on recreational and medicinal marijuana, they would also reverse the whole priests and nuns not getting married thing so their convents and rectories could be joined in Holy Matrimony, have sex like normal married people and not be sexually repressed choir boy abusers, and like their Jewish, Baptist and various other religous leaders; take part in this thing called; a "family" and joint filing of taxes like the people they preach too live in their houses each day in this nation. IT's all about money, and if profit from increased tax revenue in their community though 10% tithes in their congregations doesn't motivate them; the loss of their tax exemption for claiming "church" status will.
Amen to that. And the increase in tax revenue would also spawn research grants, which like our fight against AIDS has shown over years of research can WORK. Look at Magic JOhnson.
With the increase in tax revenue, and decrease in jailing farmers and vegtable smokers, we could be curing cancer, finding cures for disease, and all the while increasing the quality of life for both patient and family.
The only people profiting from the drug war are the cops and criminals under the strings of the politicians who all enjoy delivery service and not just at the Macanudo Club.
No one at the ATF, DEA or federal law enforcement level is filing for foodstamps, yet most of our military NCO's qualify for food stamps and WIC. This is a joke! If the numerous agencies; DEA, ATF, FBI, NSA, SD, CIA, ABC, DHS, Border Patrol, Secret Service, US Marshalls, and the "unkown black-ops" who exist "above" the; military, state and local police forces working the streets, actually were focussed on protecting and serving the population instead of regulating the perceived "morality" of their United State's use of a green non-lethal inert vegtable we may actually have found Osama Bin Laden by now.
It took our grandparents 4 years to bring Hitler and Hirohito to surrender without cell phones, jets, satalittes, nukes, lasers, helicopters, VTOL aircraft, preditor drones and modern technology. The only explanation for this is that the "drug-war" and war against "terrorism" is just too profitable for the smilely faced Career politicans, "Prince JOhns" and their "Sherriff of Notingham" lawenforcementcronies to give up.
In the end, the "prohibitioners", they are just swine, pigs, and like dogs return to their own vomit. It's a shame, we could have such a great society, with art & culture amplified by a medicine that can bring comfort and quality of life to so many.
New Jersey legalized it last year, but still a card carrying California resident and licensed patient like myself can't buy his medicine while visiting my parents in Princeton because the current administration in New Jersey (who I supported and stood by through the primary and election) is too scared and a pussy to say enough is enough to the ever dying off pre-existing status-quo of racist ethnic cleansers hell bent on ridding the town of their self perceived "Refer Madness"!
However, at the corner drug store CVS next to the Yogurt Store on Nassau Street 49 yards from the smartest freaking people in the world and at Princeton/PLainsboro hospital, Walmart on Route ONe, and Craigs List WE CAN BUY THESE THINGS IN NEW JERSEY TODAY:
1) an abortion for an unborn child killed/aborted/executed and sucked up through a vacume cleaner,
2) buy a .357 shoulder fired semi-automatic assault rifle and matching high velocity hunting ammunition
3) Gallons of Jack Daniels
4) Coffee, Red Bull, Tea, Ginseng
5) Cartons of Tabacco Cigarettes
6) a Hooka with Appricot flavored tabacco
7) perc's, codien, adderal, ritalin, clonipin, valium, valerien root, Sinaid, RObotusin, NyQuil
8) Type-F Rocket Engines from Estes Rocket Corp, salt peter, gun powder, fertilizer, and gasoline/diesel fuel
9) a Rambo-Knife, sword, numb-chucks, simitar, sword, ninja throwing stars, throwing darts,
10) S&M, bondage, ball gags, dildos, pornography, anal beads, and of course transgendered sex orgies with barn yard animals and shows like South Park to teach us that a "dirty sanchez" is more than a great sub at Hoagie Heaven in Princeton, NJ
11) ritualistic guides to the occult, satanism, black magic and the black arts
12) last but not least, we can buy venomous deadly snakes, spiders, and fish, constricting snakes, and hives of deadly wasps and bees.
BUT EVEN WITH A DOCTOR'S PRESCRIPTION WE STILL CAN'T BUY AN INERT NON-LETHAL GREEN VEGTABLE THAT IS STILL PROHIBITED BY OUR GOVERNMENT DESPITE ALL THREE PAST PRESIDENTS ADMITTING TO USING THE MEDICINE AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER AND IT STILL BEING THE LARGEST CASH CROP IN THE UNITED STATES
I think we will dip under $0.15, once we're at that price, we should see the whites of the profit monkey's eyes.
Going back down to $0.135 with MM pressure and sell offs today for tax purposes on FY-11 profits from shares the company had it's 2nd nephew's brother's uncle's roomate's 3rd friend removed buy up under $0.03 last January in an off shore account, and then news will come out, then a rise to $0.50 in the next 90 days. Just my prediction for Q-1 2011. Anyone else care to guess?
I am a die hard Republican who has never crossed party lines in the past decade on a vote and I would cross parties and vote for Mary Lou Dickerson if she really means what she says and follows through with firm swift action against the true criminals; organized crime and the cops who make six digit salaries locking people up for eating an inert non-lethal vegetable that cures pain and allows people with ailments to live a quality of life that is worth living, free from persecution, fear of oppression, and extortion by the very people placed in power to protect the sanctity of freedom. The DEA and ATF needs to seriously consider who the "enemy" really is. They are the only ones escalating things to a point of guns and violence in our streets here. Where prohibition states like New Jersey laid off 160+ police officers in cities like Newark while locking up people like Burlington County man who spent a year in jail at the tax payers of New Jersey's expense for merely breaking a divorce order to not test positive for "drugs" other cities like Boulder Colorado ADDED police officers. This New Jersey man was labeled a criminal, stripped from his family, his daughter who the State was "protecting" fell into a depression and had to transfer schools out of embarrassment, all because why? The system and cops have allowed our societies the "opportunity" to turn in our neighbors, or in this case our ex-spouse for smoking pot and have their lives and everyone's life around them ruined for eternity because they were scapegoated, labeled as a criminal, and 2nd rate citizen.
Our nation is so quick to embrace the rights of women, gays, and other minorities, yet the one thing that is truly a genderless and colorless issue we have demonized as a nation to the utmost extreme; the use of the largest cash crop and efficient medicine in this nation; marijuana.
Prohibition Fast Facts
So convinced were they that alcohol was the cause of virtually all crime that, on the eve of Prohibition (1920-1933), some towns actually sold their jails. i
During Prohibition, temperance activists hired a scholar to rewrite the Bible by removing all references to alcohol beverage. ii
The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) strongly supported Prohibition and its strict enforcement. iii
Because the temperance movement taught that alcohol was a poison, supporters insisted that school books never mention the contradictory fact that alcohol was commonly prescribed by physicians for medicinal and health purposes. iv
Prohibitionists often advocated strong measures against those who did not comply with Prohibition. One suggested that the government distribute poisoned alcohol beverages through bootleggers (sellers of illegal alcohol) and acknowledged that several hundred thousand Americans would die as a result, but thought the cost well worth the enforcement of Prohibition. Others suggested that those who drank should be:
hung by the tongue beneath an airplane and flown over the country
exiled to concentration camps in the Aleutian Islands
excluded from any and all churches
forbidden to marry
tortured
branded
whipped
sterilized
tattooed
placed in bottle-shaped cages in public squares
forced to swallow two ounces of caster oil
executed, as well as their progeny to the fourth generation. v
A major prohibitionist group, the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) taught as "scientific fact" that the majority of beer drinkers die from dropsie (edema or swelling). vi
Prohibition agents routinely broke the law themselves. They shot innocent people and regularly destroyed citizens' vehicles, homes, businesses, and other valuable property. They even illegally sank a large Canadian ship. vii
"Bathtub gin" got its name from the fact that alcohol, glycerine and juniper juice was mixed in bottles or jugs too tall to be filled with water from a sink tap so they were commonly filled under a bathtub tap. viii
The speakeasy got its name because one had to whisper a code word or name through a slot in a locked door to gain admittance. ix
Prohibition led to widespread disrespect for law. New York City alone had about thirty thousand (yes, 30,000) speakeasies. And even public leaders flaunted their disregard for the law. They included the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, who owned and operated an illegal still. x
Some desperate and unfortunate people during Prohibition falsely believed that the undrinkable alcohol in antifreeze could be made safe and drinkable by filtering it through a loaf of bread. It couldn't and many were seriously injured or killed as a result. xi
In Los Angeles, a jury that had heard a bootlegging case was itself put on trial after it drank the evidence. The jurors argued in their defense that they had simply been sampling the evidence to determine whether or not it contained alcohol, which they determined it did. However, because they consumed the evidence, the defendant charged with bootlegging had to be acquitted. xii
When the ship, Washington, was launched, a bottle of water rather than Champagne, was ceremoniously broken across its bow. xiii
Prohibition led to a boom in the cruise industry. By taking what were advertised as "cruises to nowhere," people could legally consume alcohol as soon as the ship entered international waters where they would typically cruise in circles. xiv
National Prohibition not only failed to prevent the consumption of alcohol, but led to the extensive production of dangerous unregulated and untaxed alcohol, the development of organized crime, increased violence, and massive political corruption. xv
The human body produces its own supply of alcohol naturally on a continuous basis, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Therefore, we always have alcohol in our bodies. xvi
Prohibition clearly benefited some people. Notorious bootlegger Al Capone made $60,000,000...that's sixty million dollars...per year (untaxed!) while the average industrial worker earned less than $1,000 per year. xvii
But not everyone benefited. By the time Prohibition was repealed, nearly 800 gangsters in the City of Chicago alone had been killed in bootleg-related shootings. And, of course, thousands of citizens were killed, blinded, or paralyzed as a result of drinking contaminated bootleg alcohol. xviii
The "Father of Prohibition," Congressman Andrew J. Volstead, was defeated shortly after Prohibition was imposed. xix
Repeal occurred at 4:31 p.m. on December 5, 1933, ending 13 years, 10 months, 19 days, 17 hours and 32.5 minutes of Prohibition.
"What America needs now is a drink" declared President Franklin D. Roosevelt at the end of Prohibition. xx
Although Prohibition was repealed 75 years ago, there are still hundreds of dry counties across the United States today. xxi

"Pot-Dividend"? Is it out of order to put forth the motion to declare a "Pot-Dividend" to get a share of the crop harvested this season? I mean, if that were to occur we would find more investment money than CBIS could ever imagine, we would put all the New York drug dealers selling $700.00 ounces of Sour Diesel, that any dispensarie in Colorado and California is selling for $275.00, out of business. The payoffs to the street cops to turn the other cheek and look away would be replaced with legally obtained tax revenue. The NYPD wouldn't know what to do? They would have to invent a new "crime" to oppress the masses with something like ticketing people who step out of a moving car for J-Walking or something. Maybe they can actually use those billions of dollars fighting a nonlethal vegtable to actually find OSAMA BIN F'IN LADEN! It only took our granparents four years, 1941-1945, to find Hirohito and Hitler. If the military and homeland secuirity agencies were more concerned with locking up terrorists than teenagers in a dorm room eating brownies made with a nonlethal green vegtable, maybe we wouldn't have Army National Guard soldiers with M-16 machine guns standing on every street corner. Is this America or is this becomming like Jerusalem or Tel Aviv; a police state?
If President Obama was half as concerned with reversing "don't ask don't tell" as he was with allowing the 100,000's of good hard working men and women who were KICKED out of the military for testing "positive" for pot to remain listed as "bad conduct criminals" maybe we would have a military made up of men and women willing to actually stand up for what they believe in instead of a bunch of puppets who all stood around for 45 minutes with a Trillion Dollar NORAD defence grid like deer in headlights while the three largest targets; the Pentagon, Tower One, and Tower Two had giant planes full of people slammed into it.
I can guarantee no one on my team would have thought it was a "flock of seagulls" or hesitated to scamble F-16's to intercept and destroy like the plane in Shanksville, PA most likely was! (take a look at any plane crash, Lockerbie Scottland for example, there are pieces of wreckage where in Shanksville there is nothing but a wheel) Those planes would never have made it into New York City Limits or the District of COlumbia. But thanks to lawmakers and people who liberally drink alcohol, divorse-marry at will, abort their own children, and smoke tobacco; we have this mess.
Agreed, we need a PR with clarification on the EX-DATE, Record-date, and Pay Date. YOu're right, New Year's Eve is a full trading day. So even then in order to be a Shareholder of Record on December 31, 2010, a person would have to purchase the stock on Decmeber 28, 2010.
NEWS OUT! HGLC traded $50.00 worth of stock today. It's like when Forrest Gump caught 5 shrimp and the old man on the Bayoo retorted to Forrest he had enough to make a Shrimp cocktail! What's the deal with HGLC? Is there anything even here?
That's what I am thinking, and thanks to the snow and blackouts on the east coast, most people didn't trade yesterday. Most brokers couldn't even get into the office. Talk about the odds. THe company should come out and say something. THey pay people to monitor this board, I am sure someone at CBIS management is getting a yellow sticky with a note saying "Joshua Kocses and other's on IHUB are asking about the dividend ex-date........"
Ex-Dividend Dates:
When Are You Entitled to Stock and Cash Dividends
Have you ever bought a stock only to find out later that you were not entitled to the next cash or stock dividend paid by the company? To determine whether you should get cash and most stock dividends, you need to look at two important dates. They are the "record date" or "date of record" and the "ex-dividend date" or "ex-date."
When a company declares a dividend, it sets a record date when you must be on the company's books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. Companies also use this date to determine who is sent proxy statements, financial reports, and other information.
Once the company sets the record date, the stock exchanges or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. fix the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date is normally set for stocks two business days before the record date. If you purchase a stock on its ex-dividend date or after, you will not receive the next dividend payment. Instead, the seller gets the dividend. If you purchase before the ex-dividend date, you get the dividend.
Here is an example:
Declaration Date Ex-Dividend Date Record Date Payable Date
7/27/2004 8/6/2004 8/10/2004 9/10/2004
On July 27, 2004, Company XYZ declares a dividend payable on September 10, 2004 to its shareholders. XYZ also announces that shareholders of record on the company's books on or before August 10, 2004 are entitled to the dividend. The stock would then go ex-dividend two business days before the record date.
In this example, the record date falls on a Tuesday. Excluding weekends and holidays, the ex-dividend is set two business days before the record date or the opening of the market – in this case on the preceding Friday. This means anyone who bought the stock on Friday or after would not get the dividend. At the same time, those who purchase before the ex-dividend date receive the dividend.
With a significant dividend, the price of a stock may move up by the dollar amount of the dividend as the ex-dividend date approaches and then fall by that amount after the ex-dividend date. A stock that has gone ex-dividend is marked with an "x" in newspapers on that day.
Sometimes a company pays a dividend in the form of stock rather than cash. The stock dividend may be additional shares in the company or in a subsidiary being spun off. The procedures for stock dividends may be different from cash dividends. The ex-dividend date is set the first business day after the stock dividend is paid (and is also after the record date).
If you sell your stock before the ex-dividend date, you also are selling away your right to the stock dividend. Your sale includes an obligation to deliver any shares acquired as a result of the dividend to the buyer of your shares, since the seller will receive an I.O.U. or "due bill" from his or her broker for the additional shares. Thus, it is important to remember that the day you can sell your shares without being obligated to deliver the additional shares is not the first business day after the record date, but usually is the first business day after the stock dividend is paid.
If you have questions about specific dividends, you should consult with your financial advisor. You can also get information by going to your library and reading Standard and Poor's Dividend Record Binder.
I wish the company would clarify the exact ex-date, record date, and paydate in plain english. This mumbo-jumbo and relying on wikipedia for facts is silly. I trust wikipedia about as much as a group of teenage sport fishermen kids bragging about the fish they caught caught and threw back in the pond without snapping a picture first. They need to populate the little boxes in the "dividend" chart on our brokerage accounts to reflect this. It would increase sales.
Exactly, in the example the "Record Date" or the date that CBIS calls "Shareholders of Record on December 31, 2010" is THREE days AFTER (referred to as "T+3") the "EX-DATE".
YOUR EXAMPLE
Declaration Date 7/27/2004
Ex-Dividend Date 8/6/2004
Date of Record 8/10/2004
Pay-Date 9/10/2004
So if CBIS is paying the dividend to shareholders of record on December 31, 2010; that means it's trading without the dividend earned T-3 from that date, or today December 28, 2010.
Exactly, in the example the "Record Date" or the date that CBIS calls "Shareholders of Record on December 31, 2010" is THREE days AFTER (referred to as "T+3") the "EX-DATE".
YOUR EXAMPLE
Declaration Date 7/27/2004
Ex-Dividend Date 8/6/2004
Date of Record 8/10/2004
Pay-Date 9/10/2004
So if CBIS is paying the dividend to shareholders of record on December 31, 2010; that means it's trading without the dividend earned T-3 from that date, or today December 28, 2010.
Dude, read up on the terms for EX-DATE and "Shareholder of Record". If the stock is issuing a dividend to shareholders of record on a certain day; it only applies to sharedholders at T+3. That is why there is an Ex-date, shareholder of record date, and a Pay-Date. They are three different days, usually T+0, T+3, and T+30. That means a company get's NET-30 days to pay out the divi to shareholders of record on T+3.
2012 if we can get it on the ballot. If Oaksterdamn and my HUngarian Uncle George Soros who donated a million dollars can get it on the ballot again.
The whole Prop-19 vote this past fall was an indication that the next time this goes to vote it will be a landslide victory. The 46% that voted this past time will be increased exponetially by the fact that most of the people who voted against prop-19 were over 65 and will most likely die in the next decade. Thus, like the 3/5ths compromise became the 4/5ths and then 5/5ths and evenutally led to the 2008 election of Barrack Obama as the nation's president; so too will be the dealings with America's largest cash crop, Prop-19, and the complete acceptance of marijuana users in this society. It took 150 years from the start of the civil war for this nation to fully embrace freedom for people of color. It won't happen overnight, but it will happpen. Someday soon, we will be able to smoke our medicine while sitting on a park bench or walking our dog waiving to the police men as they drive by like I do every morning when I am in California as a licensed medical user.
The only people against the outright legalized use of this NONLETHAL VEGTABLE as medicine are the folks profiting from the sale of LETHAL prescription drugs, criminals and the cops. Prohibition has done nothing but raise the stakes and bring guns and violence to our streets. Alchohol and firearms are sold on every street corner in this nation and yet still, the deamonizing of marijuana users as "evil" or a threat to the "civil peace" is perpetuated by the media, the White Anglo-Saxon/Catholic alcholics and tobacco users; who have for decades used "pot" as an excuse to conduct "ethnic cleansing" of their rich suburban neighborhoods and keep the black and hispanic population of drug runners and mules at a cheap cost of labor because anyone will do anything to avoid going to jail.
No, in order to be a "shareholder of record" on December 31, 2010 you would have to purchase the stock 3 days prior to that date. The deal isn't "closed" until T+3 so that means today is the last trading day for a trade to resolve in 2010.
I bought my shares on Friday just to be sure.
Why is this still under a dime? If today is the "ex-date" for shareholders to be of record on December 31, 2010 shouldn't we see a run up to at least 1/10th of the proposed divi value? I mean this is supposed to cough out a buck a share, why are we trading at $0.10 cents. It's like the ship hasn't even left the harbor and we're supposed to be catching a whale at close of business Thursday night at 4pm.
Is there any way the company can give a discount on it's products to shareholders? I mean I would rather have a crop-dividend than a share dividend. Just send me an gram of Sour-Diesel per $100.00 of stock and call it a 10% "crop dividend". IF CBIS does that, then I think we will attract some serious invetors, the kind with duffle bags of cash in their basements.
Some people just can't get a joke. Guys come on...really, like butterflys are an efficient way to fly. I mean if you had to get from China to North America how would you like to go?
I bet this stock is going to soar really soon. It's too quiet, and the market is ripe for picking new investors with fresh cash from the Christmas tree. I bet management will be issuing a Press Release for a new round of various things and such. Should be interesting. Gold at $1,400.00 and holding.
When are we going to get our $0.0025 cash dividend?
Are we ever going to get our dividend? Will this stock ever trade again?
Merry Christmas to all!
When are we FFGO shareholders going to get our NMGL shares?
New Jersey will follow or the veterans here will revolt and get Snooky and The Situation to ease their opinions about what is and isn't Moral on the Jersey SHore. We can bring down tourism dollars 30% on their WASP towns by bringing in Brooklyn to Cape May and LBI. Don't ever underestimate the power of Marines to take back the beach. The only problem is the fact that once the Vets in New Jersey are added to the list, the drug dealers who have been making so much money off of selling crappy dirt weed to them for Beaster's KB prices will be out of a job. No longer will they be able to extort thousands of dollars a year for a lousy product that sometimes take four or five packs to work. Instead, practical nonlethal drugs will be made available to men and women who in the past were liberally fed lithium, adderal, valium, clonopin, Ritalin, codeine, percs morphine, and other drugs; let alone lobotomized and thrown in a padded cell pissing their pants all day keeping the VA doctors employed and occasionally being wheeled out for congressman's photops at the VA hospital or American Legion post. No instead, warriors returning home can find comfort in the one drug that works and is nonlethal. A drug that allows the user to remain in a good state of control. It's taking too long, but at least this is a good start. The republicans think with their wallets. And even the New York DEA agents carrying 40 caliber loaded weapons while drinking their fourth glass of scotch in a bar in Princeton agree; marijuana is the safest drug anyone of us would want to use, and the only people profiting from prohibition of it are the cops and robbers. The Veterans who were willing to die for this land and the freedom to live in it without fear of unlawful intrusion by their civilian government may finally have a chance to live in a truly free country that respects their choice like a woman's right to kill her unborn child (without the father's knowledge), drink scotch and carry a loaded side arm into a bar; like the DEA agents I offered to smoke bowl with were doing last week shaking in their pants because once this drug is made available to people, they will be out of crime to fight and people to prey on and label as criminals from a nonlethal vegtable.
I did read it, just trying to make sence of it, refresh my memory. Why is the PPS at $0.06 if this thing is spiting out a $1.00 a share match on our money in seven days?
Dude, did someone crank the ballistics to eleven on this puppy? WHat the hoot nanny huckle buck is all the bull pucky mucky going on up in here? I mean the PPS went from $0.015 to $0.005 with the bid/ask remaining at $0.006/$0.008
Can someone explain the time line of events concerning this dividend? I mean in plain simple terms, it's kind of confusing; but what I see is that for $60.00 + a commission someone can buy 1,000 shares of this stock. So with this "slice" the owner will get another $60.00 worth of stock + the option to buy $60.00 worth for $30.00 90 days from the launch of the new stocks cusip. Is that right?
So when will we get our new Class A shares and when can we trade them?
What will these new Class-A shares trading do to the Class-B shares?
We need some news then, attending a conference isn't news. Launching a product and creating earnings is news.
