Morning All. Well, lots of chatter in here the last few days. I agree, I hate these last few bloody days, being down and not seeing the rises and hopes of a huge jump....sure I do. I hate it and I gripe to Stella and Seth all the time. But, I still think it is a waiting game right now. Things are fine, things are going like they should, stuff is in the works. Do i hate this time period right now? Yes, absolutely hate it. I want to finally see some POP, some real growth, some real news, big gains and pay offs....yes I do. But, it is what it is right now. Stick with us or sell off and be on your way. I for one and content to stay right where I am and hold on. Will i gripe about it still? Yes i will. But IMHO, things are just fine here guys. Hang tight and we shall see some news and good things shortly, i think anyway.
I told everyone to hold on......things are going very well. Still more to come, IMO. This kind of advance into a different market that still covers the TAUG line is awesome and has some amazing potential as well. Especially with so many reports clearing the e-cigs on the use and health aspect. It takes some time to get things rolling, but the revenue is there and coming in.....and will continue to do so. TAUG is right on track and is going where it should. Excellent work to Seth Shaw on his roles on this side of the TAUG house. Remain strong people, things are coming and TAUG is now stable and growing.
I just really hope everyone is ready for what is coming in the next days, weeks and months. TAUG is not down and out. Things are just warming up here. These recent PR's are actually huge bits of news if you know what's up and read, DD, etc. All good things that create an even stronger TAUG and market. Keep the faith all.....and hold on tight, it is coming sooner than you think.....much sooner.
Pilus is not forgotten.....still working and pecking away at the details. The last bit of info put out was big, it really was. I am overall more excited about the Pilus potential than the great news and steps we are seeing right now put out. Pilus technology is massive for industry, massive. The potential alone for just what they have officially put out, is huge. TAUG is on the right track and has 2 really good things going right now, and will keep going.
Well good night all. These last few days have been great and the next few weeks will be great as well. TAUG is working hard, truly are. We will not get a PR every day.....but things are happening. Keep the faith. These last two PR's are amazing accomplishments and are bigger for TAUG in the long run than most even consider. These 2 things are just the start. Keep watching......
Myself as well as Gregg and T have held for quite some time now. We have had our gripe days and our support days. That is very true. But I strongly and IMHO, whole heartedly believe more is to come, soon and some future prospects as well. Seth himself has done more for TAUG than most on here will ever realize. Coming back from the past and the Har Noy issues. That man did some bad things and set TAUG on a downward slide that somehow, in time.....Seth was able to get back up and turn TAUG around into a sustainable company again. As I have said, nothing agaisnt Stella....the managment styles are just different and hopefully she will and has realized the importance of keeping us all in the loop....we are supporting this company and the stock prices show that time and time again. I would hope we can all keep the faith and hold on, buy on the dips and wait for the company to be able to do the great things that are happening now and will continue to happen in the near future and ongoing.
Well, i think that the fire is coming. I also think that Stella has had to learn the hard way that not being as "humanizing" with her own people as well as us all has been a drastic harm to her.....and the value of TAUG. Seth has a different mentality on keeping us all abreast and sharing....she does not feel the same. Not that she is hiding things, she just doesn't feel as strongly about the open line communication and updates. Sad really, that only adds the value to TAUG as well as the shares. But, keep the faith....all is well and will continue to grow from here.
Nicely posted......this is just the start....in my opinion.....
Very nicely put and I fully agree. That would be a welcome change....back to Seth. Yes, Stella has done great....but the drive and attitude is not there like it is with Seth. Consultant....yes, not a bad thought. I'll tell her and see if I can convince her.....lol.
TJG......saw some of your recent posts. Keep that chin up....it WILL be just fine.
No problem guys. Keep your eye on it, over coffee....lol.
Evening All. Sorry for not posting lately.....been busy with work and travel as well as not wanting to post in a negative manner about TAUG (due to upset feelings about all this red and downward movement). I have and still see the potential here with Pilus and the CBD line of products...and things to come.....and in my opinion, more potential with Pilus.
I sent another e-mail earlier today and on my way home from work.....my cell rang. Surprise to me, it was Seth. We had a nice, long conversation. First, let me say that Seth has been my favorite over Stella since the change. Sorry, but true. He will speak to you as a person and not a number, feels TAUG should update and keep us all in the loop and is way more proactive than Stella, my opinion as well. We shared some frustrations, life and conversation. Very good, real conversation. The "care" that you hear in Seth's voice says it all. He has led an interesting life and has had a long road with TAUG, through the step-down and Stella step up. But, he has remained. Props to him for his dedication and support that most will never know. He has worked his azz off for TAUG.
I would like to say that I am more than ever positive about TAUG, their future and things to come.....very, very soon. This company is finally on the right road and the waiting and support.....and yes, my ugly e-mails, calls and texts to him as well as Stella have been worth it. I am in full support of TAUG with Seth and wish him, them and all of us the very best.
Hang on to your boots people......get ready and enjoy.
Eric

Hi Eric,
The fundamentals are going very well. In fact, we should have TAURIGA formulated and branded Topicanna cannabis cream manufactured this week, and our ecommerce site is targeted to be up and running in a couple of weeks. Cody Harrison had a very good presentation in Cincinnati last week on the Pilus Energy side.
We will provide an update tomorrow, simultaneous with the launch of our improved, updated corporate website (separate from the ecommerce site).
December is always tough due to tax loss selling, but appreciate you hanging in there. We believe your patience will be rewarded.
thx,
Stella

Hope you guys are doing well and had a nice holiday…..as well, continue to have a good holiday season.
As for TAUG, all seems to be at a status quo really. Not surprising for the end of year…that’s pretty typical for most companies……so I guess that is the reason for this end of year blood bath we are seeing??? I realize things take time, as you both have said numerous times and I will still continue to hold and see where we go, as I have done. I say “we” because we are all invested here and I seriously doubt any of us want to see this. Is there any other insight on why this massive show of nothing but red days is happening to us?
Take care, best wishes.
Eric
Positive looking news and we drop again.....lol, this never ceases to amaze me. Come on TAUG, get it together here. Don't even release any other news until it is something big enough to bolt us up into the multiple dollars, lol.
Exactly TJG. The more people talking and looking around.....the better. Let them all keep re-posting and sharing that info around. Great to see that stuff circulating.
Well.....I am glad we agree. Let's get back to facts and real issues....not so much negative bashing and junk. Any investor wants a company to succeed, not fail. Lately all it seems is people want to state THEIR opinion, so strongly and push it....over and over and over and over again. If anyone on here feels they are soooo right, e-mail or call Stella dn Seth and see what kind of response you get...they are very friendly and freely will e-mail and speak over the phone with you....done it dozens of times myself.
You are a very negative, argumentative, wall-off person rawman. YOU are not running this company, YOU are not invested at anywhere near the levels that these people are, YOU are not on their boards, panels, payroll or anything else. The decisions they make are what they consider to be a great path forward, a smart move, a potential path of revenue and so on. THEY are invested very heavily in this company and would not do things that cost them their own money on purpose. NONE of us or them are perfect, things don't always go as planned, things change just as quick as they happen in the stock/investing world as well as anythign related to medicine and industry. No one on that board or involved with TAUG wishes to do anything that will hurt TAUG or their profit, jobs, success. I strongly believe this decision was made in 100% good faith and things changed on them....they stepped back and moved forward with a new plan. And quite frankly, i think what they did not only saved them future money and losses, but helped TAUG gain a huge foot in the right direction of where we need this company to go.
Please, stop being so negative and flat out rude in regards to what you THINK happened.....you clearly do not know and will not know. What they did was the very best thing to do, when things change on a comapny or a plan. Did you expect them to sit there and let TAUG sink????? NO! So they stepped up, made a call and went with it. No reason to blame them for trying something that looked good on all fronts and aspects. It just so happens this time it did not pan out the exact way they hoped/expected/thought it would.
WOW.......some people, some thoughts and opinions never cease to amaze me.
Go TAUG!!!!!

Thank you for your response…..like I said to Seth, it means something to be able to hear back, get a reply……feel like you are being heard. I congratulate you guys on all the work that has been done, it really does look impressive. Fluff or not, we like to hear something…..basic updates, notices are always good. Even if on some sort of website or board.

Subject: Re: What is floating around.....why people are asking what's up....
Hi Eric,
I've read through the correspondence, and I must say that my perspective is the same as Seth's. I know we are asking you (and other shareholders) to "trust us," but we really are working extremely hard to build and grow the company.
Some positive highlights:
1) We've restructured the Honeywood deal such that it is not dilutive to our shareholders, we don't carry their operating costs, and we have access to the amazing cannabis cream AND can provide cannabis cream under Tauriga's own label AND commercialize our own new, additional formulations. This is a big win, in my opinion.
2) We've already started generating revenues on our Cannabis Complements line of supplements....without any formal marketing and before we have done big manufacturing runs. Early feedback suggests that these products are truly efficacious.
3) On the Pilus side, we have completed prototypes in Cincy and have increased the capacity from research scale to 100 gallons/day. This is a great milestone, because we can ramp up very quickly by adding reactors and increasing the volume of the (prototype) reactors.
I will be providing an update to the 420i investor group later today.
I do take the feedback seriously about communicating more to shareholders, and I will make best efforts. But please understand that we can't disclose everything, and we prefer to announce significant milestones (not "fluff").
I appreciate your patience and your continued support.
Best wishes,
Stella

Gregg.....I'm good. I got a new shipment in today along with my new "huffy" bike........lol.
I basically wanted to get Seth and Stella roused up a bit and see if they would put something out.....an update letter like they did before.
Still back and forthing with Seth right now. Stella just replied and said it's early in Cali, let her get settled in and she would reply as well. I'll pass along any info that is worthy....right now it is just back and forth stuff.
E-mail Responses/Conversation from Seth, today.
Here is the chain from my initial e-mail this morning until just a few minutes ago. They always reply, one of them does. I was a bit ugly to start because I had not heard back after several e-mails, etc......lol. Attached to the e-mail were screenshots of various comments, feedback, etc....from all around the net on lack of updates, what's going on, etc. (not included here for space reasons)

Eric,
The Company has been working hard to achieve meaningful long term business initiatives that will further differentiate it from this "penny stock" and or "microcap" space.
Everyone agrees, that it is of great importance for the Company to update shareholders with respect to progress as well as other information. Nobody feels differently than you. Management just wants the words to truly mean something.
Regards
Seth.

Subject: RE: What is floating around.....why people are asking what's up....
Seth,
Thanks for the response. I do agree with most of what you say, truly do. Time? Well, that’s all we have. There has been so much going on, happening, changing, and moving since last year and that has truly impressed me, really has. That is why I have held on and will continue to do so……long term. I am not looking to catch a spike and sell off. I see potential here with the actual resources and technology you guys have and are developing. I am in industry and healthcare and see this kind of thing every day. So the potential of what you guys are working with is HUGE for industry and people as well as environment overall.
Some updates, as others have done about…..”hey, here is where we stand, here is what is going on, here is where we are” does not hurt and doesn’t constitute fluff in my eyes…..that’s good business keeping investors informed, which will draw more shareholders, value and money to the table for Tauriga. That is why I ask about that. No debt is a huge deal…..opens a lot of doors actually for funding, research, other programs and options/acquisitions and so on. But…..we need updates, information. There are rumors, talk and all the usual BS that goes around, we all know that. No surprise. But some kind of update on where Tauriga stands would help….in my opinion, not that I’m running a company here, but I chose to invest in one that I saw/see great things with.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply and give some feedback.
Eric

Mr. Clutter!
I totally understand your frustration, but understand two things:
A. Building genuine lasting value requires more than a magic wand. An extraordinary amount of work goes into building a business with revenues and growth. This includes but is not limited to: proving the merits of your products, finding genuinely interested customers, manufacturing effectively, Quality control, packgaing, shipping, fulfillment, etc.
B. There is nothing fluffy about retiring convertible debt. Its an extremely important accomplishment, and almost unheard of for a tiny company such as us.
I think Stella is doing a great job and as difficult as it is, patience is necessary. Remember building REAL fundamentals isnt easy. It requires tons of work. And your complaint about "fluff PRs" is exactly why the Company feels strongly about the necessity of disclosing only legit fundamental updates.
Hope you can relax a little. I can assure you we all share many of your frustrations, but the only way to make it better is to build a valuable company
Warmest Regards
Seth Shaw.

Subject: What is floating around.....why people are asking what's up....
Morning,
These are just a handful of the reasons we ask what’s up……people are getting tired of waiting and waiting and watching things go down, down and bleed all over the place. This makes no sense. And no updates of anything from either of you. Where is the sharing, feeding of info, giving any kind of just “hey, here is what is going on lately”. This is not new, other companies do this to keep their shareholders informed, like this company used to do, used to do.
Info, updates…..anything? It’s the market, yes……..but we are shareholders….just like you guys….except we don’t have the info you guys do, we are in the dark, we don’t get that kind of knowledge to know what is going on…..you do, not us….and we still aren’t getting anything and all we see is down slopes, nothing kicking, no profits, just some fluff PR’s about debt free and all that. Is there really nothing going on with this company or the processes and phases you say are going on?
Anything, a reply, screw you, have a great day, anything?????
Eric
Another day.....let's see where we stand.
Well....yes, running low, lol. They are the special ones for when we have bleed out days....lol.
I agree......but my stash of band-aids is running low right now....lol. Come on TAUG, let's go.
Run or something......come on now!
Ok....let's go TAUG. Let's get all that last week gossip and guessing behind us and roll into today green and strong with some growth. I'm thinking we should be hearing something shortly....let's see what we get. Several things were going on last week.....
I agree TJG, we do have to put up with it for now. I am like any others.....I am upset, irritated and frustrated with the poor growth, never keeping our ground and nothing happening. But, i know it will take time. This area is not where people want to wait, they want it to be quick.....sure, i would too. But i just dont think this one will.....it will have to be a longggggg hold before stuff really happens. We are still in testing and R&D really. They are setting up, getting ready for trials and so forth. Some of these phases may take weeks or months each. I don't like hearing that myself....i really don't. But i guess we basically have no choice except to sit around and wait....lol. If i didnt believe, I would not still be here.
This will be an overall better week. Go TAUG.
There is a lot going on with TAUG, has been. I have been one of the most vocal about getting updates and info from Stella and the crew and email them pretty regular about it.....picking, lol. I still think there are things in the works here and that the Pilus venture and technology is going well. I think what people really need to look at is the ultimate value of this technology and what it can and will do for people and business alike. This kind of venture is huge.....anything that cleans stuff up that we produce....is major. It does take time....and I like everyone else will continue to pick at them. But i do see some great potential, growth, revenue and technology......sadly, in time. But if we get the updates and news it will keep things going pretty well. Go TAUG.....
That thought has crossed my mind as well.....at least someone showing them some interest and the interest was not with owning or dealing with Doc's. I would think they (whoever) would want to see some more deatils and progress.....but then again, we are not seeing that kind of stuff, they are....the big ballers. So, maybe they are trying to get in on ground level. This is one of my points of view on it with my psot the other day talking about Stella and the crew has some other stuff in the works, sitting on some stuff. Who knows......maybe. And maybe they are just re-aligning their focus a little to what is being seen and shown as a positive and big coming thing. Again, they see the progress, updates, etc.....not us.
If you actually read this statement below and then read it again.....slowly.....you will see that "IMHO".....TAUG is not hanging up their spurs on this issue.....they are however, ensuring they have the resources available to use on other things....like the bio side, which is a much bigger cash cow and has shown the potential for what it can do and what is coming with/from it. This is NOT a bad deal.....i personally think this is a smart business move and am excited to see this. We have not lost anything here people.....we have actually gained better control of TAUG and future/other things to come........
"Tauriga's Chairman & CEO, Dr. Stella M. Sung states, "We are pleased to continue to derive the desired benefits from the impressive cannabis technology developed by Honeywood while regaining a significant amount of our equity to allocate towards the rapid expansion in the natural wellness and synthetic biology sectors."
Well this deal is a bit different. But sometimes there is no benefit....it was a last resort, only option, etc.....due to failures in the company, no income, issues with team and managment and things like that. Restructuring is always a scary concept to hear and see...but sometimes....like in this case, it benefits all involved in clear ways and I still feel there are other things happening and this is just a small part of it by Stella and the crew. Not the news i was expecting, but good none the less.
Well, yes.......the basics of profit taking come into play. Anyone with any common sense knows this. It is when people go crazy and do the mass exodus type stuff, (scared by BS news or not reading the news correctly) that causes the huge fluxes in the stock, days and weeks of red.....which irritates us that will just buy, hold and leave it alone.....which is a true long holder. As long as you get your money back, then fine and well....but this is the stock market, strategy/investment/moves are what make this whole thing go and work.
Tauriga Sciences Inc. Restructures Honeywood Transaction and Establishes Licensing and Supply Agreement[url][/url][tag]insert-text-here[/tag]
Tauriga Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB:TAUG) or ("Tauriga" or "the Company"), a diversified life sciences company with interests in the natural wellness sector and in developing a proprietary synthetic biology platform technology, today announced the restructuring of its acquisition of Honeywood LLC ("Honeywood") into a License and Supply Agreement which provides Tauriga access to the Doc Green's topical cannabis cream and future products. Importantly, this restructuring also results in the full redemption of the common stock shares that were a significant portion of the Honeywood consideration under the merger transaction, which would have provided Honeywood with 15.4% of Tauriga's non-diluted shares of common stock outstanding at the time of closing, an additional 2.6% of our common stock shares to one of Honeywood's financial advisors, as well as the opportunity for the Honeywood principals to collectively earn up to an additional aggregate equal to 10% of Tauriga's common stock outstanding (utilizing the same initial Closing Date). The restructured transaction is significantly less dilutive to Tauriga shareholders because it provides that none of the 18% total common stock consideration and the up to 10% of additional common stock in the form of earn-out shares be issued to Honeywood's principals.
In addition, pursuant to the new License and Supply Agreement, Honeywood, as an independent entity, has agreed to provide Tauriga with its products, and Tauriga Sciences will also own unique formulations it has developed while working with Honeywood. Tauriga will continue to work with Honeywood LLC and Doc Green's Healing Collective to formulate and develop other effective topical formulations.
Tauriga's Chairman & CEO, Dr. Stella M. Sung states, "We are pleased to continue to derive the desired benefits from the impressive cannabis technology developed by Honeywood while regaining a significant amount of our equity to allocate towards the rapid expansion in the natural wellness and synthetic biology sectors."
Tauriga's Chief Medical Officer, Lawrence May, M.D. added, "This agreement is consistent with Tauriga's vision of using known beneficial natural products and ingredients to help people and, in turn, generate shareholder value."
Tauriga's natural wellness business also includes "Cannabis Complements," a line of non-cannabis containing dietary supplements which was launched this summer. These dietary supplements will target cannabis-related effects, such as anxiety, memory and cognitive function, and appetite control. These supplements do not contain cannabis and can be sold nationwide to further build the Tauriga brand, especially in the 23 states where medicinal marijuana is legal.
I agree with TJG and Gregg about the Q4 dynamics going on here. We had nothing to offer for Q3, there was no revenue to speak of and other news and events had happened in Q2 or end of Q3.....so that did not help us in anyway there. Plus, with all the various advances and steps taken in this quarter, there should be some actual good stats and numbers this time. I still think there is something brewing here that Stella and the crew are holding and sitting on for right now.....hopefully that will be released with the reports or very shortly after. As always, I will remain a long on this and I still think others should too. I also feel that the ones who backed out and sold to "take some profits" will regret those moves.
Let's see how today shapes up......something brewing???? Lots of positive stuff out there and imo, i would expect something soon with the previous releases and the estimate of time frames and all. Let's cross our fingers and see what Stella and the crew have going on. Long TAUG, forever and a day. lol
What a day this has been so far.....
Yes, all of that is very well true. I would like to say I agree about nothing popping or doing until Dec/Jan.....but who really knows with TAUG and the way other investors are acting right now. I still some great potential here with what is going on and as always, it is never really over night when we would like it to be. I still think this steady decline is crazy, but with all the sell-offs....it is really no surprise. But we need some green, long and steady.....growth.
TJG, we have both been long on TAUG and been on here for a while. We both have praised and told people this will not be some billion dollar over night gain. But, the moneky wrenches you refer to have been pretty steady these last few months.....i think we are at the bulldozer point now....not wrenches. Heck, id settle for a monkey wrench now....lol. Just really is irritating to see the steady decline....over months now really. We can't seem to get a leg up, a foot up or even a toe up right now.
I agree. Unless Stella has something up her sleeve.....never know really. I am just amazed at how this stock has performed. There is potential meat to this company, hence why i have been long on this for a very long time. But, the bad part is just continually seeing this steady drop, drop, selling, selling, selling, and the drop from it.....every single day. That is really surprising how we have had nothing but red, nothing but decline. This is the stock market, you never know of course, how things will work, news will go or not go, people will sell or buy, who knows.....we are truly guessing. Just really getting irritating to continually see a STEADY drop and nothing else. Let's see what happens today.
