Very much agree with you Pete, my investment is long term. However XXII is a (clever) minnow endeavoring to swim with BIG sharks; not sure XXII could defend itself for long if the sharks decide to feast before we grow.

Based on Van's excellent DD, I'm not overly concerned here but just a little cautious about the identity/intent of the Short.
Having been emotionally shredded a couple of times by Short Conspirators using SA,MW and others to spread fear and lies, I guess my antennae are erect (ref NQ, IOC, in particular).

The Wolf may have been caught a long time ago but the pack (of which he was not even a minor Alpha) still roams free.

Hmmm, the important question is about what the Short's real intentions might be. Shorting to make a profit is one thing (not that I condone this, especially if lies about the company start to surface to support the short strategy).
However, if the Short's intention is to kill the company, that is something else. Maybe it's an attempt to delay the listing while something else happens?
Anyway, forewarned is forearmed for us and Ciggy.
I'm not knocking anybody for making a dollar but if shorts can't borrow, they can't game legitimate investors, IMHO.

Good response from Steve. Thanks Van

Hi Nick, I agree with Pete overall.
What I can add is that subscribers get way more DD and other info than what you see on this board. The DD and other info gives us subscribers confidence to invest meaningful amounts rather than punting peanuts. Everybody has differing resources and differing risk profiles, but we are talking about longer term investing here, not day trading.
Yes, you know of the Big 3 right now but you won't know about the next one, or the one after that until well after the subscribers are already set at lower levels.
BTW, you still have the opportunity to buy any or all of the Big 3 cheap today, they have a long way to go (in the opinion of Van and his merry bunch of subs). Just go for it but you will feel a lot better if you know everything that we subs know.
On the strength of being a subscriber I am up more than 60% despite being currently deep underwater on one of them.
From time to time we have all wasted money on dud newsletters, tip sheets, etc. It's part of the learning curve and naturally we become wary. But it's also how you recognize a diamond when you find one.
Your call whether you do or you don't, doesn't effect the rest of us one way or the other unless you are a whale. Good luck.

Agree with your sentiments Pete. Of course we now have sooo much global information that the challenge is in sorting the wheat from the chaff and to not be drawn into the clutches of the scamsters. Fortunately we have arrived here and are able to enjoy solid research provided by Van and the HTFBS team.
There are probably a number of other high quality boards but they seem to be few and far between. Just glad to be here. Cheers

Yes, Aussies do tend to enjoy life but we are becoming a very mixed bunch these days. Hopefully our happy ways will have a great influence on the newer arrivals and not the other way round.

I have posted previously but not for a while. I'm a subscriber and very appreciative of Van's work and of the various contributors here. I'm invested in all 3 having discovered this board via SHU. Very happy so far although I'd like Steve to get a wriggle on.

From an Aussie point of view, we are very disconcerted at the games that shorts are apparently allowed to play with listed US stocks. Allowed is maybe the wrong word, "get away with" is maybe more appropriate. Not saying that there are no games played here but the sheer scale and audacity of the short conspirators in the US is flabbergasting. Makes it hard being a "straight" investor when a market gets grossly manipulated under the guise of "price discovery".

Would do the proxy but not received a notice yet. Then again I am "down under"

I wish to add my thanks and congrats to Van for a good in depth update. New website working well for me since upgrading subscription.

Will be great to see SPHIF listed properly. I'm based in Australia and use IB. Couldn't even buy SPHIF through them so used the Toronto exchange for ANY.V where the volume is a lot bigger: 158k today versus 35k for SPHIF. Go figure.

Thanks Van and all

Does anybody know any more about the Sabby overhang in XXII?
Low volume today but still a down day at around the same levels.

FWIW, reminds me of IOC in the very early days when one of the founding investors got the irates with the other and continually sold the stock down. Didn't make any sense then except for some sort of revenge motive. Anyway he finally exhausted his holding selling for < $1 and today the stock is $65 and headed much higher in the opinion of most (except the shorts).

NTX had a good move and seems to have a good story. Will be interested in Van's opinion on this one.
