Thank you
No hard evidence. That one poster on Stocktwits who seems to know what he's talking about referring Options or something, another guy I spoke to who knows about Options (I don't)... I don't know - I'm just tired of bag holding... and if it dips, I could've swung and use the extra cash aggressively elsewhere (crypto). Thoughts?
I’m confused about next wk. Tired of holding long. Not realizing some gains. Could be throwing into crypto for ex. I’m thinking of selling and assuming a dip with the warrant bs on Thursday. Maybe just my Roth shares which is about 40 per of holdings... I don’t know - thoughts?
My main concern is decision delayed til new FDA commish in power/confirmed
Got it
At least positive
Gio you able to recoup anything or down?
Same here man... around 4 at least... I hesitated though. Was gonna swing for once.
Whatever. News is good news. Maybe its disruptive, maybe we see partnerships. Fundamentals didn't change. Now we know what's possible with MRTP news... 10+

Are we there yet?
Very interesting buy-out... thank you for sharing this...
:D it can't hurt

I've tweeted stuff like: @DavidAKesslerMD, you once demonstrated your deep disappointment in the removal of a Tobacco product standard from the FDA Agenda... have the stars not now aligned to make it a reality?

...
From Harris to Becerra to others lower on the totem pole.
Let's go! 2-hour investment... raise awareness.
I created a list of 50 individuals... on Twitter... you can access it here... these folks are "health editors" and such from all the major publications... time to knock on their doors... starting with Mish's recent article...
https://twitter.com/i/lists/1353874002025050112?s=20
Good let's keep this up.
I'm putting together a friggin list of health editors of major news outlets and their Twitter handles... we need to collectively start Tweeting them... I'll be sharing a "view only" file here and on Stocktwits (a few times over) when done... I really think it's come to that. Increase visibility, leverage a global audience... should have a list of Senators and Reps there too... stay tuned.
The new vice president, Harris... Becerra... Kessler... potential FDA folks interim (Woodcock) or Sharf-whatever... all on record for supporting a mandate... we need to start knocking on their doors...
Dems don't care about tobacco States/heavily republican... have a propensity to regulate... this can happen...
I don't know. But I looked at the GameStop stock chart from March... and we should have a similar run with MRTP PLUS mandate. If it's proposed to occur before mid-year elections in 2 yrs, I don't see how it won't happen. Investor confidence would be high. Would run amok. I'm tired of lofty pps predictions too... but 20+ should not be unreasonable with both in play. Every friggin Dem in power is on record to support it... let's go/make it happen.

Bloomberg: You’re a cancer doctor by training. Your predecessor proposed removing nicotine from cigarettes as a way to get people to stop smoking. But that policy disappeared from the FDA’s agenda late in 2019. What happened?
Commissioner Hahn: I don't know what happened to it, but it was gone before my tenure started.
I have seen the scourge of combustible tobacco products and how that has affected the health of real people. I think we should be making every effort we can as a country to eliminate nicotine addiction and the use of combustible tobacco products. I realize that may not be a popular point of view.
So many pieces in place at a systems level... I don't like nonsensical drops either, but who cares tbh... big disruption more possible now than before...
Forgot about this one... were the consequences, if it went thru, going to be rough? Can't recall.
Are we still a 'play' in this space? Doesn't seem like it.
Do care
Also Dems don't care to punish Republicans tobacco states... Dems took Congress, Presidency, obviously are more about regulation than Republicans... for VLN, starts appear to have aligned
I don't think alignment was their with XXII... when did PMTA occur? He was also trying to get vapes and stuff into the market... so alternatives existed.
Wow, all coming to fruition...

Kessler was also an outspoken advocate for more regulation of nicotine and launched an FDA investigation, pitting him against the powerful tobacco industry. The FDA's investigation resulted in tobacco executives admitting nicotine's addictive qualities, and lawsuits filed by state attorneys general resulted in a landmark settlement of more than $360 billion. Nearly a decade later, a law was passed in 2009 giving the FDA the authority to regulate tobacco products.
So, Becerra, Sharfstein (likely), and Kessler... all on record for reduced nic. mandate... this is our best shot...
Got it
Part of this is thinking in terms of perception
Manufacturing consent
Moderno CEO (for whatever reason) says Covid-19 ain't going away, ever - another reason for VLN...
When was the last time pps rested at 2.80? Interesting... let's not drop.
Seems like Kessler is returning in some capacity? HUGE
One wonders if "anticipated demand" is due to a preliminary partnership with a BT company...

I like the pps we are holding... I like the recent patents... I really like the upcoming MRTP
