Norfolk,
I think Haas shot himself in the foot when he r/s'd that thing recently. Looks like it's his Canadian version of what he's got going here, and in the future may not meet with the opposition GRNH is stuck with. We'll see.
Loyal
Chuh. Mm's must be positioning themselves for some kind of run. They answered another impressive press release with a sledgehammer.
Typical.
Loyal
Cannabis Cup? Sure hope so, bro. Especially since the way it looks now we'll each soon be sittin' on the sidewalk holding a tin cup.
Loyal
joe,
Pursuant to your last two posts:
A) Yeah, . . . shortly. What a nice, politically correct word that doesn't say diddily. So I guess we all wait for the fins to arrive . . . . shortly. As in, one of these days.
B) If you going on vacation is what it takes for good numbers to arrive, by all means, head on out, bro. Move it move it move it. I'm sending you five bucks for gas money. Check's in the mail.
Loyal
Okay, Troyman, your points are well taken, and this ole boy isn't the least bit offended. I'm too old for that shit.
Having said that, I wouldn't know James Haas if I fell over him, so you have the advantage over the rest of us in knowing the man. Good for you.
Moreover, the stock market (and particularly manipulative market makers) don't mold their business around what CEO's are going to do, nor are they impressed with press releases. In fact, even checks in hand for $600,000 mean nothing to racketeering marketers. After all, anyone can hold up a nice six-figure check for all to see; but until it shows up on a balance sheet, it is meaningless, and that is why these manipulators are pinning this thing to the canvas the way they are and treating everything we read about GRNH as fluff.
As for working one's butt off, one thing's for certain: No one was working his or her tail off to get the financials out in a reasonable length of time, and that is an integral part of one's business if one wants share growth. If posting quarterly fins is too much to ask of the man, he should have kept his company as a private enterprise.
Finally, if anyone wonders about my lengthy affiliation with GRNH, it goes back to 2011 . . . . . . when it was trading in trips. Any questions?
Loyalhound
usc,
Your defense of your buddy rings a bit hollow here, bro. All some of here are saying is that Haas needs to cease playing the role of sluggard with respect to his financials.
Until he shows us his cards, all our chips on the table are being held hostage by the manipulators.
We as investors loaned James Haas our money in good faith, and we have a right to expect him to keep his end of the deal when it comes to yearly and quarterly reporting time lines.
Simply put, this is not how legitimate CEO's behave when it's showtime. Every day he delays he makes himself look that much more foolish, and also lends an air of emptiness to any defense you post for him.
It's time, bro. No, it's well past time.
Loyal
Boy. The manipulators really have a choke hold on this one, don't they? Making sure it can't go anywhere but sideways or down. You couldn't pry this loose with a jaws of life right now.
And as long as Nero out there in Anaheim keeps playing twiddle with his fiddle, - - - - - w.y.s.i.w.y.g.
Loyal
- - - Wake me up when James wakes up. Z-Z-Z-z-z-z-z
Hope y'all are enjoying the current on-screen numbers; the mm's certainly are. After all, they're creating them, as usual.
By the way, all those 'cheapies' some have been so happy to pick up from time to time? Many of them don't look so cheap now, do they? All things relative.
Now, I know I'm stepping on some true speculators' toes here, but sometimes one has to own up to the fact that mm's manipulate to create what only appear to be cheapies. In other words, shorting is usually a pre-designed sucker's game. Unfortunately, it works, and even the savvy investor can fall prey to it.
For my money, until James Haas stops doing the Nero thing, wisdom says to simply hold and let the mm's play their stupid games until the stock pops and the shorts choke on their own vomit.
Loyal
Bear,
I can pinpoint that for you.
Whenever.
Loyal
- - - And it's long since gotten old now. We're at that place where investors will proverbially sell in May and go away. James missed the mark last month. I give him fifteen yards for holding. And five more for delay of game.
usc,
You a Trojan man? If so, then James must live darn near across the street from ya. Two things:
1) At this point my head says, "I just don't know."
2) My money in the pot says you're right, and I ain't foldin'. My premise is to call James' hand, instead of seein' him raise the pot with one new wrinkle after another.
Hope you prosper here and elsewhere.
Loyal
usc,
I gotta stand with Fishyjoe on this one, bro. It's late April, and any excuse for the lateness of the fins at this juncture is lame.
Once you talk the talk you gotta walk that talk. And this ain't plantin' negative seeds in anyone, not really. We're just bitchin' that we're seeing an extended drought at a time when an early harvest should have been underway.
I'd call or write Haas myself, but at this point I wouldn't be able to discern whether he's a sincere man or just another bullshitter.
Loyal
Interesting. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. It's always next week, next month, next year. One danging carrot after another. Then another. And another. I watched that movie here last year and the year before that.
I'm long and have been for some time. As I always tell my friends, "I've got nowhere to go and the rest of my life to get there."
So, I can wait till the bovines arrive at the barn.
Having said that, I'm still strong on James Haas' vision and his company. But as for Haas himself, he just forfeited his integrity. If your word is good, you're good. If your word's no good, neither are you. When you promise to deliver at such and such a time but don't, you're shit.
Have a nice day and prosper well, fellow investors.
Loyal
Joe,
You are correct, bro. With all his business acumen, it's hard to believe James Haas doesn't know the value of a good bean counter.
Debits on the left. Credits on the right.
This is not complicated.
Loyal
Baron,
Your arguments are generally valid to a point, but the sum total of them don't wash here. If a business person raises capital on the open market through shareholders, those 'lenders' have a right to expect the boss man post his or her balance sheet, . . . and on time, too.
I've been pro-Greengro and pro-James for years, but I don't want to hear any more lame excuses being passed off as valid reasons for not showing up when it's showtime.
This kind of slothfulness only makes James look inept as a CEO. Does anyone expect big money to flow into a company that doesn't have an accountant or two on board who can impress with on-time performance?
It's fourth and long, James. Either air it out or punt.
Loyal
Uh, James. It's mid-week.
Remember?
James? Are you there?
Hello?
Loyal
- - - Hello hello?
Norfolk,
Agree with that. However, the percentage of short interest is notably high. Would love to put the squeeze on whoever's doin' it, . . . . just for the drill. The jerks.
Loyal
Tiger,
Whoa. Didn't know the short interest on Greengro was anywhere near that high. Shorts must have more than one eye on this baby right now. Squeeze wouldn't hurt none.
Loyal
Stew,
Good common sense info, bro. Makes no sense for anyone to refute it at this point, and only a fool would sit at the intersection when the light turns green. Time to put the foot on the gas and go.
Loyal
Just remember, true investors, this is a caveat emptor market we're involved in.
Fair fins, good fins, or great fins ---- the mm's can make this stock dance to what ever tune they want to if they decide to gang up on it, especially if they have bad paper being funneled into their coffers from outside sources trying to beat down mj.
Freedom ain't free, and the free market isn't a fair market anymore.
Loyal
Clariske,
You got it. Politics thrives on power, and to gain power there are only two sources: guns and money. Ya wanna know what's going on and what's goin' down in Washington? Easy. Always follow the money trail. Always. The days of conducting business through principles is long gone. This is not complicated.
Loyal
Subjugator, in light of your post (#42021), it makes one wonder. Who is this investment group? Do you know someone there personally? Can you trust them? Even more to question is what's in this for them. Why not bypass them and talk to Haas himself?
I'd find out their angle before including them in my circle of influence. After all, despite their sales pitch, investment firms today don't lend themselves for the individual's gain. First and foremost they use the investor's money and interest for theirs.
Just watch your back, bro.
Loyal
Q: Does anyone know if many, or even any of the mj's are going to put out their fins on time? Very few, I suppose. If not, and numerous other mj's are on the move, it would make no sense to pick on Haas and his crew.
Point being, yours truly finds it irritating that mm's are permitted to decide who the winners and losers are, instead of letting the free market determine who's valid and who isn't.
Loyal
Rat,
When the financials are released, if the numbers are anywhere close to matching projected revenues in the company forecast, then this thing absolutely has to pop in a major way.
If it doesn't, but continues to be beaten down as it has been, we should see no crap-filled posts about a debunked conspiracy theory here or a p & d.
In other words, if the pps doesn't skyrocket, even the bashers will know there is some bad green paper being funneled through investment firms to promote the insidious practice of racketeering, and all for the sole purpose of keeping GRNH from being the legitimate enterprise many of us believe it to be.
Loyal
Are we looking at just a mini bump? Or is this finally it?
Loyal
Tequila, no major dilution thus far. I just hope James doesn't become so frustrated that he effects an r/s to make things look as good as they should. He did that with GLA$, as lesser affiliate he also owns, and it wasn't a good thing. Reverse splits seldom are.
Loyal
I've bought and sold a myriad of stocks over the past 20 years, but this one may go down as the most unique in my personal library.
These investment firms have finally learned how to tailor short selling as an art form and re-master the concept to a tee.
While more and more fingers are currently being pointed at James Haas as the major problem (which he is not), the fact is that the mm's have now tooled an insidious practice (shorting) to a degree that they can now float or sink any boat that sails on the OTC.
When they work together they become little more than gang rapists who of their own choosing decide who the winners and losers will be over any given short period of time.
Loyal
Pete,
Very comprehensive and timely post, bro. Everyone should salute your effort here. Nonetheless, some won't believe no matter what you say.
Loyal
- - - In fact, your #41357 post oughtta be stickied. Have I got a witness, anyone?
Not sure of how the semantics in Haas' latest p.r. will play out. Sometimes in the business world words don't mean what they normally do to us uneducated blokes.
In other words, the 'CEO' and the 'president' aren't necessarily the same person. We'll see how this plays out in the near future. For now, James Haas is still at the ship's helm. Don't touch that dial.
Loyal
Yep. Everyone else's questions, too. However, when analyzing the balance sheet, no one should be at all surprised or disappointed if Haas does the Walt Disney/Sam Walton thing: Reinvests profits into expansion.
Loyal
Whatever his many faults, James Haas appears to be a man with a vision and a conscience.
Mm's are merely a corporate entity; they have no conscience.
Don't sound to me that you do, either. So, swing on wishy-wash.
Loyal
"A corporation has no conscience." --- Henry David Thoreau
Well, another week is almost in the books, and it should come as no surprise to anyone that we're seeing more of same.
It should also occur to everyone that the CEO can put forth as many press releases as one could ever desire, but no cluster of pr's will ever make any difference of themselves.
I'm not faulting Mr. Haas here; he can't make the stock dance from the inside.
No, the mm's have effectively brought this thing to a standstill, and until Haas' inside crew roll out numbers on his balance sheet that make the eagle scream, we're a well made, well stocked boat with a dead engine, no sails, and without air or water currents to carry us anywhere.
Yet another testimony to what I've said over and over: They're called market makers; but much more often than not, they're really market breakers, wolves cloaked in sheep's clothing who make a mockery of the free enterprise system.
Loyal
Porky,
Sometime in March?
I'm looking at my calendar in March for 'sometime.'
Can't seem to locate it in any of the 31 squares. There's a bunch of Sundays, Mondays, numbers, and so on. But no 'sometime.'
Can you help me find where it's at?
Loyal
Hadn't considered that they might indeed be working with Haas in a smokey, tea-leaf smelling room somewhere, metaphorically speaking. But, yeah, it's possible.
Still, Haas would be a fool to collude with funny money. Were they to be exposed later, they would surely sing and take Haas down with them.
Then again, even smart people can let themselves be snookered by wolves in sheep's clothing if the money is right. We'll see.
After all, as I often say as a part of my mantra, . . . . . "Everybody is some kind of stupid. Everybody."
Loyal
ahab,
Your point is well taken. I chose to single out one general source, since that's who controls the big money being used to keep not only GRNH down, but all mj as well.
That is, unless pharma creates --- or has created --- mj shells they can then use as fronts to compete against valid mj companies.
Soon the mj industry will unfold as just one more cutthroat business.
Loyal
It came across unbiased wire sources on March 2nd that the legal cannibis industry is --- and will continue to be --- one of the fastest growing money making sources in the world. In conjunction with the article, Greengro was mentioned specifically.
So, despite all the political rhetoric for or against, are we so foolish to believe that the Trump administration is going to stifle such a dynamic revenue producing source? Our government thrives on and grovels for one thing and one thing only: money.
Neither The Donald nor Jeff Sessions nor the House nor the Senate nor the court system nor the medico people are going to stifle marijuana in the future. Oh, some will continue to try to roadblock it, but the mj horse has left the barn, so trying to lock it behind the door will be a waste of time.
Point being, GRNH is currently held down by a rivaling industry (pharma most likely) which funnels money to investment firms on the sly to short GRNH, because it arrogantly thinks it has the sole right to own the market of pain alleviating remedies.
It's time to end the monopoly that has a firm hold on the mindset of the political cronies in Washington and elsewhere.
Fact is, GRNH isn't stagnant because James Haas isn't doing all he needs to do. It's because antagonistic forces are being permitted to do what they're doing to hold it down.
Loyal
Re# 40839:
We don't know the why and I won't judge. Perhaps he thought doing so was better than going to a bank in order to raise capital. Maybe he even did it to pay employees for services rendered.
Whatever, I'd give the man the benefit of the doubt t.f.n.
Loyal
Mm's have successfully geared their defense to this daily three yards and a cloud of dust for months now. It's time some big shot with an arm to air it out and spread the mm defense.
Really, this three and out day after day has all but emptied the stadium.
Loyal
Fellas, there's no need to sweat Jeff Sessions or demand his departure. At present he's a big fish in open waters, but he's really more like a tarpon than a shark.
Sessions can handle the job if The Donald keeps him, and The Donald can easily handle Sessions.
Loyal
Oh, you're fully on board again. Again. Your words, not mine. That alone tells a story. Sounds like up and down in and out to me. All over the map as it were. I been with this baby since 2012 and never left. Anyone match that? I watched with glee the 2014 run.
All over the map? Nope. I'm on the mark. I don't sneak in and split in wishy washy fashion. I know what this company can do, because I saw it done while I sat right there at ringside.
Read my name, boy ---- the Loyalhound. I'm loyal. I'm a hound dog. We know how to hunt.

"Keep your words short and sweet, just in case you have to eat them." --- Andy Rooney
Now let me see if I have this straight. With all the riff raff flying around, either James Haas comes up with something we feel we can sink our teeth into and tickles our whimsical fancy, or the shorts will continue unchecked to short his company and drive it into oblivion.
Is GRNH running its own business the best way it sees fit? or are outside stealth forces determining its fate with swords, daggers, and timetables?
Such arrogance cleverly disguised as due diligence.
