'The Kids Nutrition market revenues were estimated at US$52 Billion in 2022 and are anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2023 to 2033, according to a recently published Persistence Market Research report. By the end of 2033, the market is expected to reach a valuation of US$94.5 billion. North America accounts for 31.6% of the kid's nutrition Ready to Drink global market.'
That means that serious reputed firms in the domain will keep going agressively after this market. We however just keep issuing PR's to current shareholders and place boxes on shelves hoping someone will notice.
Our leader obviously has no clue relative to what it takes to penetrate a market, even more if the said market is a growing lucrative market occupied by large companies already having large shares of it.
Let's hope she realiize (or have some one help her see it) that she is not qualified to play that game and convince her that the way to go is to sell our great product to rich partners or competitor ...
My hope is she knows that and she just wait for FDA approval to act, otherwise, I most likely will still reduce may position or even walk away putting my money in a more realistic company.
'Unlike you I do not have a current position in this nor am I compensated by anyone.'
If that is true then I wonder what kind of frustrating life you have. Who in his right mind would spend his days posting on a board discussing a stock he doesn' hold?
In respect for you I prefer to believe you are being paid otherwise I,m sorry for you.
If you keep refering to a split you shall endup being right ... if and when that will make sense. Otherwise you only keep making money out of that stock, posting herein (I should probably get a commission out of your gains) LOL\
There yo go again with your comparisons that do make no sense.
'You do not debate the relevant facts that I post directly from the company's print.'
Why would I ? We all know them, Nothing to debate. History is history.
As for the future all one can do is wait or quit. What's to be debated ?
This is a small bet (relative to one's means), not a serious investment in a large company. Look at it as a game and enjoy it (I say you but it cannot be since you are not playing)
'I personally do not need ANY credibility for my posts'.
Effectively and you have none either BECAUSE ALL YOU KNOW IS PAST HISTORICAL FACTS).
You sound like someone predicting the next card (out of 52) after only 30 or 35 have been out. You sound like someone who says: I know what the next card will be because I saw those that came out already. The fact of the matter is you have a chance out of 17 to be right.
The player you try to convince hope the next card will be the one that will make him win. He also have one chance out of 17.
The difference is the guy on the sideline will not win anything if his prediction is right but the player will make a lot if his card comes out.
The only important thing however is that the player should not nave over extended himslf in his bidding.
Low odds, high potential ... The rest is BS. If one doesn't like it he should just stay away from the game.
'you never take the other side of the debate'
Once more you misinterpret what you read. In the debate (???) I present both sides:
- This is a bet (not an investment (as of yet at least)
- The RISK is that Leon may fail (for whatever reason)
- The other side of the risk is that Leon may succeed (neigther you nor I know why he keeps fighting)
You, only knowing what we all know (historic information), are totally affirmative that Leon is misbehaving and has no chance to succeed.
This being said, I do not see what side of the debate I miss. I feel like sitting at the poker table hearing an observer predicting the next cards, My hand may not look good but I keep going, knowing that whatever my odds that's what I want to do. The last thing I want is someone knowing as much as I do trying to tell ne what is coming.
'This CEO has destroyed his credibility with his misinformation in my opinion.'
Your credibility is as good considering that for an eternity you forecasted a split, you alluded to dilution that wasn't for a year, ...
What is credible is that
- the company does operate and normally report (contrary to hundreds of OTC sub-penny stocks).
- the weight of the debt that has been created in the far past
- whoever owns and keeps shares right now is accepting the risk (for as much as we know, the company hasn't failed ... yet
- whoever tought there wasn't any possible success forward must have already sold.
You have been as correct in your predictions as are those holding in here BECAUSE THE LAST CARD HAVEN'T YET BEEN PLAYED.
Once more, you misinterpret what you read (as you do wit the financials) ...
I wrote ' discussing it as if it was an investment in a blue chip' (note the ' as if it was')
You answer: 'don't go there with the blue chip nonsense' (wasn't blue chip reference that made no sense but you way of discussing the GRST case AS IF IT WAS).
You add: 'Clearly there are much better bets' ... That's a matter of opinion but at least you recognize that you discuss a BET, not an INVESTMENT,
Finally, you ask: 'why would someone consider a long position for themselves' ... The simple answer is that the odds may not be great but the gain potential is great. I'm surprise an analist like you cannot fogure that out.
What I do not understand is: Why for God sake does someone believing he is smarter than most spend that much time analyzing and discussing a HOPELESS bet?
We all know why ...
Again, this is a risky bet and discussing it as if it was an investment in a blue chip says it all ... You're being paid to do it. If not, thenyou must ... (some qualifier I do not dare write herein)
Pretty sure you are right. Otherwise they are outright no life crazy people.
I always laugh when I read comments relative to sub-sub-sub-penny stocks (1 sub per 0) as if he was analysis a blue chip type of stock (LOL). Either the poster doesn't know what he is talking about or he has an hidden agenda justifying his investment in time ???
The good news is ridicule is not a mortal disease.
FACT is, currently GRST is a bet one accept, considering low odds and large gain potential. Anyone looking at it differently currently should get rid of his shares if it involves any significant money (relative to the player's situation).
One has to wonder why someone (not shareholder) pretending to be bright and well informed spends hours every single day debating the state of a company having a total capitalization of more or less $2,000,000. He definitely be a no life frustrated person unless he is paid to do whatever it is he does.
To whoever care ... GRST is a normal company with large debt accumulated in the past. Leon must believe he can save this business but he doesn't yet know if he will or not succeed.
Anyone pretending to know what the outcome will be is full of it. Betting on the outcome of the GRST venture is currently the same as betting on a baseball game result at the start of the 7th inning of the game. ANYONE MAY BE RIGHT BUT HE ALSO MAY BE WRONG. Past performance (good and bad) is more or less relevant. All it gives someone is a way to estimate his odds, not a way to KNOW what the outcome of the ongoing game will be.
Owning or buying shares on GRST right now in a risky bet and pretending how it will end is stupid.
If someone wants to INVEST GRST is not really the place to do it with money one cannot afford to lose. If someone wants to play a risky bet with money he can afford to lose, GRST is a very interesting bet, considering the upward potential if Leon succeeds.
It's that simple.
You've predicted disaster for over 3 years and up to now you've been wrong all the way.
My prediction is that either Leon will succeed or he will not that is 100% certain.
Your prediction keeps saying we will lose whatever money we have in this stock. That prediction has more or les 50% chance to materialize.
Leon had its ups and downs (3 years ago there wasn't a business to report on now there is one) and both you and I can say whatever we want, the fact is we do not yet know why he keeps working at it and report duly every quarter.
Stop pretending you are smarter than any of us or you know anything more than us all (we can read financials also). As for your altruism aimed at protecting naive shareholders let us see how smart you could be by recognizing this is first class BS.
Everyone in here knows you have hidden motive and your credibility is non existant.
Just say the thruth relative to your real motivation and (with pitty) stop making a fool of yourself.
'to offer to the debate other than personal complaint?'
I do not complain, I just OFFER to set the record straight without assuming that I know more than others and draw conclusions out of historic facts. Both you and I must know that this is a risky but potetially profitable bet and we both know that our CEO behaves as someone serious as to saving this company. I for one admit it's risky and do not try to convince other shareholders that the situation is desparate and that they should sell. My only complaint is relative to messages based on history from someone (presumably not shareholder) not having a clue what is going on behind the scene daily.
For whoever ... I do not pay to be on this board therefore cannot directly answer private messages. I howeve thank those feeding me opinions, ideas or informations privately.
Thanks. Retired and back home from a 6 months tour in USA, I have time to play his game, i.e. Quote him then interpret whatever he writes as pleases me ... who cares if i'm right or not?
Quotimg you again: 'The question I have is what plan did they present ... What was offered as security ... LOOK TO ME LIKE ...'
Once more you admit not knowing and all you do is share an opinion of your based on historic data.
The question I have is what motivates you so you spend that much time herein rehashing the same historic data everyone knows about. LOKS TO ME LIKE you have an hidden agenda and you are paid to cripple this company (stock)..
'My track record is much better as you know.'
Except for dilution (none for months notwithstading your previsions) or R/S that never happenned ... among many other thing you said were coming that never came.
I must however congratulate you for your talent in reading statements discussing the past. You should be an historian.
'dead money for the foreseeable future' ... future we do not know what it will be ... you included (whatever you pretend).
all information that is available about the company is not current at any moment.
That's my point. You do not know what the current (less than 1.5 to 4 months) information is. All tou and we know what WAS the situation not wht it IS.
All we know is histric information as officially reported and the fact it is reported tells me that the company is still live and kicking.
I assume (but do not KNOW) Leon works at pilling out the company of its debt and he will either succeed or fail. Till then, for as long as there is life (the company reports) there can be hope. One has to be stupid to believes he knows, till Leon tells us where we stand or plan to become and, even then, we will need to know what the debt situation will be or Leon will stop operarating the company and report regularly.
Till the, this remains a bet with odds in the 50-50 range, whatever it was in the past.
For more than one year. I had a carrer (management and executive) with 2 multinationals living out of marketing. The one that had by far the best product is not in the market anymore and the other one (we really had a less performant product) really succeeded and did remain a leader in its market.
Apart from the quality of product,, THE DIFFERENCE was the way the successful one invested time and money in marketing the other one (personnel was made of fantastic enginneers) failed miserably assuming the market would endup figuring out how much better their product was.
I during my carreer witnessed many example of such experiences.
By the way, I've reduce my position in BABYF over the last 18 month. I believe that if and when the company receives its FDA approval, our pps will grow overnight and come back down rapidly thereafter if our scientific leader keeps having no respect for marketing, blinded by her belief that product is THE CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR out of many (research, product, finance, marketing, manufacturing, ...)
Such a someone should at least not be lisyen to (as in this case). Obviously no one on this board really believes he knows more than any or more likely cares about his continuous repetitions of historic data.
Anyone still in this stock cannot care less what this 'expert' says (LOL.
Assuming that to be true (not being paid) both promoting and bashing people are talking thru their hat (litteral translation).
FACT IS ... This is a stock (bet) relative to a company operating normally (for as much as anyone knows) and reporting regularly (quaterly). It however is a risky bet or investment one will either lose or greatly profit from.
Anyone pretending to know more than that is either a liar or someone having finacial compensation to bash it all the time.
For the moment we KNOW HISTORIC INFORMATION (you included), we DO NOT KNOW what management currently does or work toward (you included) because, except for normal reporting, Leon doesn't say much (at least he is not BSing like many in the environment we PLAY in.
'He has been pretty accurate so far.' ... LOL ... Easy to be accurate when you keep quoting historic facts issued by the company.
LOL ... Since you're probably paid by post you make, may be you should pay me a % cause I give you opportunities to post
'he just doesn't reveal what he is really doing to shareholders' ... At least we agree on that.
That explains why your continuous bashing is so ridiculous
'information directly from the company's print' ... subjective interpretation of these company supplied historical data negatively only demonstrate a hidden motivation of a anonymous poster motivated by either frustration or financial compensation.
You would not even recognize a challenge if anyone decided to spend time giving one.
One thing you do right is to repeat ad nauseam official historical data for whatever reason you will keep secret.
The thing you do wrong is to predict disaster, having no clue relative to what the actual situation is.
What you pretend to be due diligence is outright bashing no one really cares about.
Of 2 things one:
Leon has a plan and needs time to execute it making us (almost all) very happy or he does not or fail trying to execute it and we lose our bet.
If he succeed, bashers will fade away silently, shorts (if any) will be in trouble and we run to the bank
If he fails, bashers will start saying how smart they were but no one will be here to read their posts.
I for one believes Leon is working a plan (that's why he keeps the business running and behaves responsibly, regularly reporting. This being said I also know (but not believe) that this may be a loss in the making. That's why I never over commited myself.
The woman has no clue what managing the company should be. She thinks that addind selves here and there will bring success. To bad she cannot accept to remain what she apparently is good at ... Scientific and product development expert. One must wonder if she will ever admit she needs help before she kills her baby (food) producks
pretentious is what comes to mind
When someone for whatever unidentified reason try to make others believes he knows more than he does. This type of anonymous poster is as bad as one claiming that this stock will make shareholders rich not even understanding what the state of affair is ... or not.
Only bashers and/or promoters pretend to know (some however are paid to do it)
Takes guts or even worst ... to say that someone herein complains. I never saw anyone complaining, bitching, bad mouthing, disparaging and BSing as much as you do making unfunded projection out of historic data and no knowledge of what did happen (or not) behind the scene over the last 3 to 5,5 last months.
My complaint if you want is that someone playing the expert and being anonymous keeps working at (God knows for what or who) destroying a stock.
I at least have the honesty to admit that there is risk in here to lose it all (let's be careful) or make it big.
This being said, one has to be naive to think your continuous posting is base on an altruistic concern for others.
My concern is not that 'the company's footprint' isn't their, it's that the market is not aware of what this box really contains whenever walking thru the store or looking at fliers.
No significant advertizing and no serious marketing.
Our CEO is presently happy and proud relative to current pps and, assuming final positive approval by FDA and serious investments in marketing, I even doubt we could respond to the potential demand if it becomes significant.
years ago, the CEO dreamed of becoming a serious player in this huge market but obviously did not understand that only having a great product is what makes company fail or be bought when situation becomes desperate. Full of example out there.
The whole picture here is fozy because of the debt. No one (but Leon ... maybe) knows how this issue will be resolve (if ever ???) ... not even our expert analyzer.
Taking that issue out (theoricaly), assuming a year revenue of $8,000,000 or so, and accepting a realistic multiplier of ... let's say 10, with current O/S of less than 4,000,000,000, our pps would be at least $ 0,02.
If the debt is (parttly) mostly eliminated by issuing 4,000,000,000 or so new shares at $0,012 then our pps miraculously become at least $0.01 assuming no additional revenue growth.
This being said, the above is just as significant as analysises done by someone wanting us to believe him without more justification than the above (LOL).
The fact is: Either Leon can resolve the debt issue somehow or he cannot. If he cannot, then why does he keep running the business an duly report quaterly ???
Bottom line, not being Leon, I consider this to be a fun risk (for anyone not over committed).
'I will take that appraisal any day over those who have promoted this stock for years' ... LOL
I try to teach my kids and grand kids not to excuse their errors by saying : 'yes but see what others are doing'. I try to make them accept to just accept they did the wrong thing whatever others did.
I however know that adults cannot accept that because of their selfishness or worst hidden agendas.
Where you have been wrong ??? You wrote it yourself: ' they haven't split the stock yet or have diluted for over a year now'.
For the moment I give up with you. All you can do is rehash the same historic story not having a clue relative to why (notwithstading your months and months of non materialized predictions) Leon keeps operating and reporting quaterly.
Enjoy your game and I hope you are paid enough considering the time you spend disparaging this stock.
