'' If they aren't able to con the future retail buyers of this stock they are done ''
What's new. According to you they've been done full time for the last 2 years.
I sincerely wonder what motivates you to post that much, IF you are not even a shareholder. If you do not have a hidden agenda motivating it, then I wonder what is wrong with you ???
As I said we are looking at a bet and the wheel is still turning (even if some thinks it doesn't.
Personally, I own shares and it's be I can eaily offer to lose with minimum pain. On the other hand, if Leon succeeds at improving the situation by getting funds (governments, issue of shares at interesting price, ...) to reduce the debt, then the return could be very interesting.
If one has shares he must accept that GRST is a risky bet and with any bet, one has to accept the risk.
If one has no shares, I wonder what can motivate him to post herein ???
Looking forward for the analysis of our infamous joker who will absolutely figure out that this is BS and just confirming that the company is dying. Let's see.
''badly needed regulation A"" offering whos shares are immediately tradable''
As you know I belive this to be a risky bet (not an investment).
The main issue in here is the weight of the debts on our balance sheet (and associated costs)
If the proceeds of regulation A offering WAS USED TO ELIMINATE MILLIONS IN DEBT, I assume that would help having a pps much higher right away.
I doubt, even if these shares were to be traded rapidly that our market value would remain based on a multiplier of about 0.25 (current one because of the debts)
By the way since we are both not in the know relative to what Leon does, why not IMAGINE that he is trying to get governmental fundings. After all Leon operates in a sector that is a governmental priority right now.
BOTTOM LINE: We both do not know what the future will bring and I FOR ONE am honest to say it (instead of forecasting certain disaster looking at the past).
''Oh gosh, was I correct again, I have quite a consistent track record here for being right.🤣😂''
If you had been just a little right over the last 2 years, the company would not exist anymore. You obviously have an hidden agenda (paid to post, accumulating shares, taking revenge ...). No sain person would work as hard as you do for no reason (by the way altruisticly helping poor naive potential shareholders is one of your best joke 🤣😂
''Curious that you would want to rehash this point''
Talking about rehashing, it is curious to read that in one of your posts. LOL!
Inexistant marketing, manufacturing issues, ... however plenty of A/S to use (dilution) for creating funding to keep doing the same as usual.
What a mess !
''something that this CEO promised that he has done''
Keep running the company, still having a real operation generating revenues, make move toward solving THE ISSUE (DEBT) making this an important risk, ...
One only sees what he want to see.
Notwithstanding what you wrote then and since, the company still operates and reports and progress seems to be made.
This being said it's a nice bet to make and no one with a head on his shoulders should look at it as if this was a blue chip.
''trading volume of only 42 million for the day.''
Means that current shareholders are not dumping and Leon hasn't yet diluted us ... whatever you alluded to in the last 2 years or so.
I agree but I just want to expose our expert and his repetitive bla bla bla now and then when I am on my pc. Whatever I or he says, we canno change anything but ourselves.
1- If saying that GRST is a high risk sub-sub-sub-penny stock is promoting it, then I did and do.
2- ''you have never been able to shown where I have been wrong''.Afte r years of negative analysises the least we can say is you have not been proven right (yet). I additionally do not have to prove you wrong, just saying regularly that this is a high risk bet means you may be right or you may be wrong. Time will tell. Till then, you know as much as we all do.
If your point is that the company and Leon are having troubles you are right and everybody knows it. One has to wonder why someone as smart as you pretend to be spends that much time trying to prove it ... even more if that someone is not even a shareholder ???????
''The problem Shawn Leon has is that he needs to continue to borrow since the shares are worthless in terms of attracting capital of converting debt.''Now they are blowing the funds of future shareholders with the debt refinancing schemes (obviously people are running into lowning them funds they most likely will never recuperate, according to you).
The problem Shawn Leon has is that he needs to continue to borrow since the shares are worthless in terms of attracting capital of converting debt. QUESTION?Who in that context will lown him money ???
Must be lonesome to be the only smart person around (LOL)
For as long as one can enjoy risking a small money (more or less $400 per million shares) GRST is a nice Bet to try considering the current staus of the company (Large debt, real revenues, market cap of + or - $1,600,000). Doesn't take a genius to figure out this to be a high risk loss/reward bet.
If you decide to get to the table, just enjoy the game and I wish you the best.
''have been correct for a couple of years'' ... Anyone can quote official reports but doing it foreseeing failure for 2 years + doesn't give you much credibility. It suggests however a ''personal animus'' of your own ???
'"just another poster giving his opinion" based on little but personal animus.' I wonder (excpt for expressing my opinion) what the said 'Animus' could be saying that (fact) ''GRST is a sub-sub-sub-penny stock on OTC of a operating and reporting company''.
''the personal guarantee of Shawn Leon's personal financial statement''' ... I wonder why someone able to do that would do it considering your ''analysises''? Desperation or personnal belief? At least he seem to put his money where his mouth is.
Whatever your repetitive reashing of public information you posted for years, GRST is still live and kicking. Personnally, i believe that at current PPS, someone could make a small risky bet offering low loss possibility and high reward potential. All one has to do to play (or not) is notice that behng this bet there is an operationreporting duly.
Once more you repeat the same story that was suppose to terminate that affair for years according to your posts. NOTWITHSTANDING YOUR CONTINUOUS PRETENTION TO KNOW MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE, grst keeps operating and duly reporting quarter after quarter.
As i keep saying this will either succeed or fail (like any other bet). You have one chance out of 2 to finally have been right. Till then you are just another poster giving his opinion, assuming to be smarter than anyone. else.
Wealthy? No but have enough considering my age. As for lashing out at the one person you refer to, I believe he has a secret agenda motivating his agressive behavior and the effort he makes trying to destroy the stock and Leon. He pretend to act in an altruistic context but I absolutely do not believe that.
Finally relative to losing money my net cost is effectively somewhat higher than 0,0004 (cosidering my past trading up and down) but right now, per 1,000,000 shares the current value of my bet is only $ 400 or so. One doesn't have wealthy to keep this sub-sub-sub-penny stock, considering (whatever our infamous analyst says) there is some kind of asset behind it and financials are normally reported. I consider this bet to be high risk but one that's not that much worst than playing roulette in a Casino.
My advice:
- No one should bet more than he can loose without pain,
- If Leon can succeed, not many stocks do offer that high a profit potencial,
- A GRST shareholder should does sit on his bet and wait till the roulette stops
Your ''objectivity'' makes you blast Leon if he issues a lease and blast him again if he doesn't. Sund likes someone frustrated and antagonistic for a reason of is most likely based on an historic between him and Leon.
Nice post. Thanks
1- CEO incompetent: I often mentionned she is a good scientific person having developped a great offering and buying in, I did put my money where my mouth is. My point is that she understand business management as well as I do of scientific topics. The consequence is that our offering is the best kept secret in the industry.
2- Marketing is the answer to everything: No just one of the four skills a business manager should be able to manage directly or indirectly (with R&D, manufacturing and finance).
3- My credentials: 17 years with IBM (regional manager for the last 5 years) 17 years with a startup competing IBM with Japaneeses who developped an outstanding offering. I contributed to make our Canadian company grow from no revenues to $140,000,000 and ended up national vpn of the company
4- I'm now much to old to offer my services and anyhow, I'm sure there are great people better qualified than i am in the understanding of the markets we try to get to.
5- No it all: never hinted I do and could not have done what our CEO did. The fact is she doesn't understand marketing an d I do not pretend knowing what product development is.
6- Finally over the initial years I traded somehat with this stock and now own a lot of shares with a reasonable NET COST (still in the red obviously). I do not need the cash I still have at play and being an optimist, I assume someone will endup getting our CEO to understand that building a multinational company worth more or less $35M after years of effort is the closest thig to failure.
You may believe that this is ''just another meaningless statement'' and that is your opinion that you can have. At least in my case, my opinion is one of someone who still has skin in the fight.
Just another meaningless statement by an incompetent dreamer.
In your dream. I must admit I tought our stupid CEO would finally figure out how ridicule her overall management capacity has been. Here she is with another insignificant move following another disastrous quarter (what acrazy excuse she offers).
This investment I tought I had has become a bet. The bet is: Will she wakeup and look for appropriate help or will she wait till all she has to offer is a pile of patents someone may want to get? At current pps, I keep my bet (net cost after 3 years) running and hope the woman not to br suicidal.
One has to wonder why someone self assumed smart would spend that much time debating suc a stock as if it was a blue chip? The good news: Ridicule is not a mortal decease.
Our ceo is desperate and digging her financial grave. Having had such an opportunity and blowing it gradually because of her incompetence. Saw histories like that (failure with great innovative products) before but never tought this woman was that stupid as a business manager. I'm afraid the worst is to come with that stubborn person in control of the company.
If Imay, ...
Keep your shares. Unless you are financially desperate, why sell shares worth $300/million shares, the business being apparently still operating normally and reporting duly?
I think our CEO will have to contract for some more shelves space since we seem to be in the business to grow the number of shelves we can get to.
Will not be able to listen to the conference. Hope to read a summary herein later.
I hope they will not ask us to submit questions for the conference. In any case the last conferences only included questions they created by themselves.
Whatever you mean ???
How would you like getting 25 or 30 cents per share?
I do not respect our CEO's skills relative to marketing but I do respect her for both her scientific skills and intellectual capacities.
Why in the world would just sell our (her) company for $5,000,000 ??? Pet shops are worth more than that.
THE PROBLEM WE HAVE is marketing, ability to generate revenues and manufacturing costs. The value of the company is based on our products. If someone buys us, he shall have manufacturing inhouse manufacturing facilities and marketing programs to integrate us into at minimum additional cost.
If our CEO decides to open up to offerings (???) she has something to offer that could be atractive to many. I just hope she would accept help negociating. I finally assume that a major in our industry would be happy to make the acquisition thru issuing shares of it own instead of throwing out cash.
The example I gave earlier is just that 'an example'. However current market conditions in our industry should make us a great acquisition target for many.
Thins being said, our stubborn CEO may very well still believe she will be a multi billion $$$ busines within the nex 2 years (objective she set 3 years ago was ($5,000,000,000 within 5 years).
Kind of interesting to see that someone as smart as you (???) does analyse a stock based on its PPS, not even mentionning once that he is discussing a stock whose total market cap is $1,500,000 or so.
P.S. ' fun to watch... next year.' ... At least you believe it will still be alive next year (LOL)
Gee, you really show objectivity and realism in your analysises. Aren't we lucky to have you play the role of a presumably serious analyst of a sub-sub-sub-penny of a company currently worth (market cap) more or less $1,500,000 ... LMHO!
Not only are you ridicule but you obviously have a secret agenda motivating such a behavior, ... at least I hope.
FOR ANYONE INTERESTED:
GRST is a company trying to pull out of an OLD financial disaster, now operating a serious business under the leadership of an apparently courageous CEO. The risk is obviously serious but the bet you make should be something you can afford to lose without pain. On the otherhand, if the company succeeds, the return should be quite interesting. One should assume our management to be assuming they can succeed otherwise, why try?
Anyone looking at that as a SERIOUS INVESTMENT analyzing it daily is at least ridicule.
Let's be realistic or just move on.
Wow! we were so much desperate to acquire more shelves ???
If only the 'Multi-Billion Dollar Markets' we get in knew we do exist in a busiseness othe than acquiring shleves !!!
The industry will have to react and ASSUMING WE GET FDA APPROVAL, how would our offering address or not this issue?
Whatever the anser, if the company doesn't have the means to inform the market, we shall keep having shelves with boxes no one can figure out what they are all about.
I agree. As for a deep pocket, there are plenty of companies that could buyout our outfit with their pocket change or unused authorised shares of theirs. Our current market cap is less than $50,000,000.
Let's take as an EXAMPLE JUST FOR FUN ... Nestlé who bought Gerber in the past would decide to go after our CEO assuming she still has enough smart to entertain a discussion with them (???)
Nestle current market cap is more than 5,000 times ours ($ 267B, shares being traded at $100). Assuming Nestlé wanted to
- get rid of a potential (??) competitor,
- boost their Gerber offerings and
- acquire our patents,
it could offer us 5,000,000 of their shares or 0.0019 addition to their current O\S).
For Nestlé shareholders adding 2 tenths of 1% of their O/S would be, to say the least, negligeable but for us it would mean 10 times our current PPS.
As for 'advertizing' this move would not necessarely mean adding advertizing budget for Berger, but just would need to add our product to their current budget.
QUESTIONS:
- Is our dreaming CEO available to negotiate with Nestlé/Gerber, following the FDA (hopefully) favourable decision?
- Is the above the best she could get?
Probably not but our dreamer as a CEO has no clue how to get out of the mess she created and up to now stobbornly kept believing that she could make it without help from some one (or many) create a successful environment. I however do not hold my breath, this type of person being frustrated to the point of not doing what has to be done, believing it would make her look bad (To her: Cannot get much worst, you already have proven you are selfish and a frustrated incompetent person related to what is needed in here)
Very happy for him but his successful background is definitely not the main consideration one should expect for such a job in that specific a market. Online marketing is ok but it has to be very extensive so mothers of young children hit such Internet advertizing messages.
I just took a few minutes (Google search) to look for how baby food producers do their marketing. I noted two sentences in particular:
1- As early as in 2015, advertising spending for baby and toddler food, infant formula, toddler milk, and one nutritional supplement brand aimed at young children totaled $77 million in all media, PRIMARILY TV and MAGAZINES
2- I also read that A HIGHER FREQUENCY OF EXPOSURE to formula and baby foods in digital media (self-reported by parents) was associated with greater odds of purchasing these product.
Primarily TV and magazie and higher frequency of exposure on digital medias. Our strategy seems to be putting the chicken before the egg and even then in a not large frequency.
I personally consider these to be critical steps to be covered even before loading shelves with a product no one ever heard about (except shareholders).
I assume our mission to fill empty shelves with boxes no one knows about. We must now be on 1,000,000 shelves (excluding Amazon) but our sales remain negligeable. What a mess ...
That is an opportunity to remind shareholders herein that GRST is not a single business man's venture. Others are behind the scene looking like people who believe that GRST may endup be a success, notwithstanding the disparaging some do relative to the company ... Hard to believe that all these people support as bad a situation as the one you enjoy defining.

GRST is a risky bet for the moment but I, as these people close to the company, believe that current situation inherited from a past you so much enjoy reminding us daily, can succeed. I may be an optimist but i believe there is a probability that this bet may turn out to have been a good one.
