200,000,000+ in 37 mins. w 80% BUYS!!!! This is a MOAB!!!!
The MM's are def keeping this down. This volume represents a month of buying for most others stocks and there are many companies that have seen 3-4,000 per cent increases with volume like this but for some reason, because its not spread out over 30 days instead of 30 mins, the MM's play games to keep it down.
Look out above - Once its released, it will skyrocket. .10 is def within reach this week if MM's play it straight. LET HER RUN!!!!!! .10 TODAY!!!!! $1.00 BY FRIDAY!!!!!! REMEMBER MSTR?
Whoever it is that is keeping the price down even after over 25 million shares were purchased at .0004 is going to be introduced to the Fraud Division of the SEC.
I am not sure if, at the end of the day, it is the transfer agent or the MM, or the CEO but screen shots from L2 showing the constant buy activity and the repeated reset of the amount of shares needed to move the price to .0005 are being sent.
In the end, this may be the shortest stint of a CEO in OTC history. Trump would love to deport another crook from a foreign country back to where they came from and the screen shots from today's robust activity with nothing to show for it except a 41% decline may be just what the Pres needs to send a message to the rest of the OTC world that it really is going to be America First and we are not going to tolerate ss anymore.
WE ARE BEING LED BY SOME VERY SMART PEOPLE - ONE WHO GRADUATED FROM THIS FINE INSTITUTION . . .
Founded in 1908, The Daniels College of Business is the top-ranked business college at the University of Denver, one of the country’s premier private universities and the oldest university in the Rocky Mountain West.
SO, WHO BETTER THAN SOMEONE WITH FINANCIAL EXPERIENCE TO DRIVE THE COMPANY -ESPECIALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS THIS:

These prices are direct to businesses for direct consumption. If the customer were a distributor, they would earn up to 50% discount off these prices depending on the quantity.
Another good point. There is a whole world outside of iHub players who need to know what is happening with the V Group (vgid).
I have submitted this draft of an A.N.D. website to Larry for his review.
http://www.theperformancecenter.com/AND
All of the content in the site has come from PR's, VGID Financial statements and CC's. The good news is the content is current and accurate.
It is an amazing story and the timing on selling healthy nutritional drinks and CBD infused drinks is perfect!!!
There is also the fact there is a CEO who knows how to take companies public A.N.D. is willing to help others take their companies public. This is definitely going to help increase shareholder value.
AGREED! Here is one of the marketing pieces we use in CO to generate sales.
http://www.theperformancecenter.com/AND/images/VGID_AND_PROMO_BLANK2.pdf
We promote a healthy website http://www.ehealth.cafe to promote living healthy active lifestyles and we are offering companies a chance to have this site customized for their employees and customers if they order at least $15,000 worth of A.N.D. or Roadkill product.
That would be 215 cases of 20 count A.N.D. @ 3.49 per 20 oz bottle or 260 cases of 24 count RoadKill @ 2.49 per 12 oz bottle. It could be more product if any discounts are applied.
It is obvious no one is selling. The big question is "Why does the market maker who is setting the stock share price keep lowering the price???????" Looks like collusion or manipulation. Does anyone know if there is any monitoring of stock price manipulation by the SEC or FINRA in the OTC??? I heard Trump wants to drain the swamp. This may be a good place to start.
Not sure where you went to school to take Stocks 101, but it sounds like you may want to rethink your TRADING strategy.
THE FACT IS you wouldn't even be here texting and trading if it weren't for the outstanding PRODUCTS VGID is producing.
FYI, the investment money that this company is generating by selling stocks is meant to pay for the bottles to transport the PRODUCT, the labor to make the PRODUCT, the vans to deliver the PRODUCT and the labels that convey what is in the PRODUCT so the next time you want to pretend to be Gordon Gekko and spout out movie quotes, you may want to at least do your research because as Gordon Gekko says, “ THE MOST VALUABLE COMMODITY I KNOW OF IS INFORMATION” . Then, at least you would know it is PRODUCTS like A.N.D. , RoadKill and now "PUMP FITNESS" that make this company worth investing in the first place.
But thanks for letting the world know what kind of person you . . . one who wants to rob from the petty cash of a young up and coming company by flipping instead of letting the investment take hold and grow which is the only way a company like this has a chance to become a world -wide manufacturer of healthy nutritional drinks and continue to develop new PRODUCTS designed to help others live healthy and active lifestyles.
Actually, it takes more than just pumpers for a stock to be successful in the long run. It takes a good product or service which is what makes VGID such a good company, both in the short and long term.
Did you know if a person drinks an 8 oz glass of orange juice every day, it is like consuming 17 pounds of sugar a year.
A.N.D. (VGID) and its line of antioxidant nutritional drinks are a better alternative to stay hydrated as they contain 50% less sugar and contain other valuable vitamins like B3, B4, B5, and B12 and may even help some avoid diabetes.

It would seem now is a great time to introduce senior management at Chipolte to the idea of growing their own vegetables with the Urban Barns cubic barn system. Having Urban Barns set up 10 or so remote cubic barns in 10 major areas around the country would help eliminate some of the high risk Chipolte is currently exposed to with their current system of securing vegetables.

For the record . . .
This issue of whether e-coli is an act of terrorism is still being investigated but if there is price manipulation going on with this company that filed an application with a federal agency, this may become a matter of National Security.
The day the company submitted their application to the FDA is the day this issue became a matter of National Security. In the matter of aiding and abetting terrorism, if anyone knowingly uses public information to secure financial gains while in the process, hinders the country's ability to fight against an act of terror, they will be found guilty of aiding and abetting a terrorist act.
Clearly, GBSN has a product that can test and identify the deadly bacteria e-coli in a fast and precise manner. Now, if anyone is found tampering with a company's ability to bring to market a solution to fight against a terrorist act, and in this case, fight against a outbreak of a deadly bacteria, if the outbreak is found to be an act of terrorism, those parties may be found guilty of aiding and abetting in an act or terrorism.
At this time, the investigation is ongoing but if the government finds the e-coli spread was in fact an act of terrorism, those who have gained financially from the price manipulation will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and if you read the Homeland Security Act, you will know, these crimes are much more serious then simply price fixing or stock price manipulation. Good Luck to all.
If there is price manipulation going on by market makers and the Justice Dept finds out the recent e-coli spread is an act of terrorism, those involved with the price manipulation could be found guilty for aiding and abetting terrorism. Maybe there is justice in the world.
50% Increase in Sales Year-over-Year through 3 quarters
3rd Q Sales = $400,000 vs 260,000 in 3rd Q of 2014
Has A.N.D. in 13 7-11's in CA
Increased total distributors by 9 in 3rd Q
Donating a portion of proceeds to Wounded Warriors to help Vets
Launching Hammered Zebra Beer Brand
Launching new nutritional product
Launching new chain of hair salons
I LIKE TOAST! Whole Wheat please! and can I have a bottle of A.N.D. Outrageous Orange to go with it!!! Have you seen what's in this stuff?
Company sales are up 50% year over year
It's pretty clear what's next . . . the lifeline of any company is their ability to make sales and manage cash flow. This company is no different.
Buzzy fielded some basic questions that cleared the air on these key issues.
1) "Will distributors buy A.N.D. for their distributorships? Company sales are up 50% year over year and Q3 2015 Sales were $400,000, up $140,000 more than in Q3 2014.
2.) Will the company do the right thing and manage the cash in a way that benefits the company and the stockholders?
Due to the rapid growth, there is a need for some cash in the near term to pay for expansion and growth - the cost for more product, empty cans, sales people, delivery vans, and dedicated 54 AND/Roadkill coolers for strategic placement in larger retail outlets.
The return of investment for VGID was stated at 12-15%. This bodes well going forward as it looks for more traditional means of financing. He stated he will manage the business in an effective way and stay away from any future toxic debt. VGID has very little debt with a huge upside for more sales.
He is trying to get the report for the 3rd quarter posted in the next 24 hours.
There are several new opportunities such as managing a new product launch for a large distributor, develop distributors in various parts of the country, and launch the spin-off, Fernhill Beverage Company which will handle distributing RoadKill.
In the case of Larry "Buzzy" Twombly, do I believe we have a guy who has been there before and is capable of doing it again? Absolutely. The CC was clear, concise and right on point with where VGID is as of the end of the 3rd quarter and where it is headed.
I am excited that Larry is out their everyday building the future of V Group. The sales numbers from A.N.D. product & RoadKill product line sales say this is a successful product launch. Good reason to believe the launch of the beer products and their wellness products that contain exotic herbs and minerals will also be a success.
Mr. Twombly has been an innovator in the beverage industry since 1995 successfully developing and launching Buzzy's Coffee. Mr. Twombly grew Buzzy's Coffee into a $2,000,000.00 a year brand at which point Mr. Twombly sold the brand to a venture capital group. Mr. Twombly went on to advise and assist in the development and launch of some of the most successful brands in the industry such as Vitamin Water, Fuze, SoBe, No Fear Energy, and many others.
Mr. Twombly, along with his team has developed relationships with some of the most influential distributors in the Country. Mr. Twombly's reach spans from East Coast to West Coast. "The beverage industry isn't just what I do, it's who I am". - Larry Twombly
V Group, Inc., the proud creators of "and", develop innovative, quality driven beverages. V Group is dedicated to providing the very best in cutting edge beverages creating the next evolution in the beverage market. So Drink, Enjoy, "and" Thrive.
All of this is IMO
The call was recorded and will be available online for any interested parties. Next?
It is amazing how some companies just don't get it.
All of these people who invested in your company yesterday are also consumers and may be visitors to Latitude 360 locations some day (or not?). Not all were day traders just looking to flip, were they?????
These new investors are the ones who get to decide if they want to visit your locations and then tell others to visit and who knows, maybe some day, they even become a 360 franchise owner.
I realize it is merely speculation on my part but really? A 25% decrease in stock price for no apparent reason after a huge buy in day? You may want to tell your TA or whoever sets your stock price that if they think they are outsmarting the investor by jacking around the price (-25% for no apparent reason) just to create fear and panic selling just so they can make a few extra bucks, then they should also know they are just pissing off these 1,000's of new future 360 customers. How do you grow a business if that is the result of your actions???
You may also want to start coordinating the release of PR's the day after a huge influx of new investors to keep the momentum going the next day. It would have been so easy to release something, anything of substance this morning. How about a review of your weekly sales at your largest location or announce LATX just recorded a $120,000 in revenue at its XYZ location during the past week. Anything to let the people know this train is now back on track and headed in the right direction.
As is the case for most successful companies that make it out of sub pennies, it is because of a commitment to slow and steady increases or decreases coordinated with a commitment to regular PR's of all of the exciting things that are happening at their company.ie. New Locations, New Events, New Products, New Services, Revenues, Celebrity sightings, Traffic Counts, New Items on a menu, etc. Come on . . . give us something.
I get that share price volatility works in certain industries (tech, energy, pharma) but this is a consumer-based business. There are better business models that work instead of simply jacking down your stock price (20-25%) and pissing off all of your new investors.
Remember, at one point, these people believed in the vision of your company. Failure is not an option. These investors deserve the best. These are the people who will go out and share the story and tell others about the great (or not so great) experience they had with LATX, both as a consumer and as an investor.
Setting your stock price and having someone invest is just like getting a new customer into the doors of one of your locations. And we all know how much you spend on marketing to try and accomplish that! Would you instantly raise prices 25% as soon as they sat down and looked at the menu? Of course not so why do it here. Slow and steady gets you to a buck a share.
My advice: May want to rethink your business plan if the only way to make money is to suddenly drop share price by 20-25% for no apparent reason.
On the other hand, seeing the share price drop steadily for the past 11 months from $1.46 in Jan 2015 to where it is now (.0034) says volumes of the current state of affairs. Sounds like it may be time for new management at the top. Clearly, LATX is a great concept but it takes execution.
For example, where is the shopping cart to buy apparel, collector glasses, tickets to events and sign up for bus driven tours to various sporting events in the cities where you have locations. Where are the sponsorships for various sports teams and tourney and why isn't it being promoted when a location starts playing host for a major event in their respective cities? Where is the promotion of all of the craft beers available at LATX. This last subject is RED HOT right now and LATX needs to be a leader, not a follower with whatever comes down the pike as a new and refreshing idea.
There are many ways to increase revenues. One just needs to think outside the box and come up with a better plan than Screw the Shareholder! How about Hotel partnerships, transportation services, mini trade shows, etc, etc.
So, in case any one in LATX mgt is listening, maybe you can chime in and explain how the share price got to be this low in the first place? You are heading into the busy season. The share price should be moving up daily. Dave and Buster's ($46) or Brunswick ($55) are both at or near year to date highs.
Come on MGT, let's get it together and start driving shareholder value up. In the end, it will be the next 100,000 shareholders who will be the ones who will help make this company the success it was intended to be. Can any one say $1 per share? $10 per share? $25 per share? It is possible but it takes everyone working together . . . both management and shareholders, consumers and suppliers, employees and friends and family.
Just sayin' . . . imho

Letter to the CEO of MJMJ
The good news is the Bud & Breakfast part of this publicly traded company seems to be doing just fine - Now its time to fix the rest of the company. If the CEO would be so kind, he could start by addressing this list of questions shareholders would like to know the answer to.
- Where & When is the new location for the 4th BUD & Breakfast going to be announced?
- What are the results from our MJMJ investments to help fund efforts with Bud Farmers, marijuana growers and other farming entities through our wholly owned subsidiary Capital Growth Corporation?
- What you have been doing with the Shareholder money??? Dilution? Salaries? Expenses? Please explain . . .
- How is the Tiny Home deal working out?
- How is the vape pen deal working out with Pax?
- How are the spa services doing in generating revenue for the company?
- How is the Canna camp deal coming along? Location? Reservations? Opening Day?
- How are the negotiations with a major health care provider to use Bud & Breakfast rooms for patients and research?
- How are things going with our industry partners:
- Greenstar Excursions, Puff, Pass & Paint, Colorado Pot Guide
- Colorado Cannabis Tours, Primal Therapeutics
- What is your timeline for your next project? Do you even have a next project?
- Who is going to manage the Washington State and Oregon territories? Do you have a forecast as to how soon properties will begin opening in these 2 new markets?
- Who is developing the shopping cart for a better presentation of MJMJ retail products?
- How is that franchise agreement coming along with that chain of hotels? No luck convincing Red Roof Inn to become Red Bud Inn for a 15% royalty fee? Ah too bad. We could have left the bud light on for you.
And the $3 million dollar question is:
Do you really want to continue as CEO of The Mary Jane Group, a publicly traded company with interests in running Bed & Breakfast facilities under the Bud & Breakfast name. And according to eTrade in the MJMJ company description, it reads: The MaryJane Group, Inc. is engaged in providing lodging, events, spa services and brand merchandising concentrated in the cannabis industry. The Company's subsidiaries are engaged in providing financing to assist Colorado marijuana growers, providing cannabis-friendly lodging and services, such as information and entertainment to consumers in the recreational marijuana industry. It offers a guest package, which includes a Wake and Bake Breakfast, a 4:20 Happy Hour and a facility to consume marijuana and marijuana edibles. In addition, the Company books tours, and it also sells its branded apparel, merchandise and remaining glass products to guests. Its subsidiaries include Capital Growth Corporation, Mary Jane Entertainment, LLC, Mary Jane Events, LLC, Mary Jane Hospitality, LLC, Bud & Breakfast, LLC, MJ Ranch, LLC and SA Hotel, LLC. Its products include Bud + Breakfast at the Adagio, Bud + Breakfast at Mountain Vista, Hotel San Ayre and Canna-camp.
I get the fact that it seemed glamorous and sexy to run your own publicly traded company in the beginning but now there is work that has to get done. Hard, laborious, time- consuming work.
Yes you are doing great running the three B&B's. But there is a whole other side to running a publicly traded company. EXPANSION, MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS, NEW VENTURES, GREAT FINANCING, SALES, MARKETING, ADVERTISING, SPONSORS, PARTNERSHIPS THAT ACTUALLY MAKE MONEY.
Are you sure you want to keep trying? You are disappointing some significant numbers of investors - Well over a hundred for sure. That is a lot of rage and disappointment to be in charge of. Are you sure you have what it takes to reverse the trend and make winners of all of the people who invested in your idea for a lodging company and helped you carry this company on their back with their hard earned money during the first year of existence?
If you are not interested in running this publicly traded company the way it should be run -to honor shareholder value, you could step down and let someone who is more passionate about raising shareholder value step in and drive the company for a while. It is clear there is a mountain of business activity necessary to drive up stock price. There needs to be 2-3 press worthy items released per week, one needs to go to industry events and make deals happen, one has to write new business, be networking and building new partnerships, and these are just a few of the many things that need to be done.
Maybe you know someone who is the socially-active activist-type who has business savvy and enjoys networking with people in vertical markets like the legislation, health care, education, technology, nutrition, fitness, and who also enjoys attending lodging industry events and mj investment seminars. We don't need a CEO who is the manager of a bed and breakfast. We need a leader who is out there making things happen in a timely manner. Some one who is proactive, believes submitting reports as early is a week early, not a day early, and we need a Game Changer.
As President and CEO of Canna Science Institute, I understand the challenges that come with running a company that is smack dab in the middle of the cross hairs on this great social phenomenon known as the Green Rush.
This industry is so new and yet, there are several huge obstacles ahead before it will ever get welcomed into the investment community with open arms. The market is a federal entity and until the federal government declassifies MJ to a Level 2 or Level 3, there is no way anyone will buck the system and turn the tide in the other direction. First there needs to be a greater understanding of what is really happening. That is why we created the Canna Science Institute. To show the world there is a better way. But we also want to be respectful to those who think differently. SO change will be slow and gradual but there will be change.
But first, there are the powers to be that must be reckoned with first - from market forces and politicians to our military and national security. There are many people in positions of power who would rather see the whole MJ phenomenon fail so the drug free America so many wanted and fought for can still see their vision come true. And since that isn't really going to happen, now they at least want to know they are in the driver seat when the GREEN RUSH finally comes home and they get their reward for their effort to prolong the inevitable for as long as possible.
Those forces in the market also include the armed forces - It is no secret our country just spent 40 years trying to eliminate illegal drugs & cartels from the face of the earth and now its legal in 23 states + DC. I am sorry but things just don't change overnight just because of one good day at the polling box. So expect resistance, be strong, but remember, no one is going to die from this conflict. The war is over. Now it is just about who can make the most money from it. SO as the stock price of MJMJ goes lower and everyone gets into position to profit from its resurgence, the price will rise again like it did 3 separate times before in June, (.005 to .015) July (.002 to .005) and in August when it went from (.0008. to .0017)
The stark reality is while the public may have voted to legalize MJ, the idea that someone can now use THC to help them relax or deal with pain or epilepsy or cancer or they just want to fire one up to have a peaceful relaxing moment is still relatively new to those who have violently opposed to it for years. The fact is many of these opponents have been completely against all that and more for more than the 40 year war on drugs. So be patient, this industry is taking a stand for what's good and for what's right. The people have voted and now they stand united expecting justice - expecting a victory - expecting this GREEN RUSH to distribute income to the masses so we can all share in the greatest harvest ever that is currently upon us. It will just take a little longer than we had hoped.
Sales of MJ are at an all-time high and the public war on drugs is officially over, yet there is still a huge amount of undercover work going on stomping out the illegal drug trade that has caused havoc over our youth for decades. Is this covert undercover effort also affecting the stock price of MJ stocks? Maybe . . .
I get the fact that just because its legal to smoke marijuana, that doesn't mean there is any less passion for getting rid of it on behalf of all those who just spent the past 40 years trying to eradicate it from society not to mention the great deal of time, resources and money that was spent trying to put an end to drugs in America.
It has become pretty obvious that according to some staunch conservatives, they would rather throw plenty of money at situations just to see them fail if the object goes against what they believe will lead to a better America . . .even if they are hypocritical in their rational and process. They are often those individuals who say, "Do as I say, Not as I do" kind of thinkers. You know, the ones who say "Just say NO" to marijuana but are chronic users of alcohol and pharmaceuticals.
So who or what do you suppose is keeping MJMJ down?
How is this company not selling at $1 a share? Seriously?
Many have cited the following words don't mean anything.
(traded in the US under OTCMJMJ: and soon to be, maybe, even up in Canada under symbol MJMJ?
Time is proving this out to be a sad reality.
Release the new location of the 4th BUD & Breakfast Joel!
Release the research partnership agreement with the Canna Science Institute???
Release the timeline for the next project - Farming Results of our Clients???
Release the info on what you have been doing with the Shareholder money???
WOULD IT HELP TO KNOW THERE WAS GOING TO BE A "NEXT CONFERENCE CALL" SCHEDULED WHERE JOEL WOULD DISCUSS ACTUAL COMPANY BUSINESS?
http://www.theperformancecenter.com/MJMJ/index.html
Maybe he could discuss the subject of: The EXPANSION Plan and tell us where the company is going next? The CAREER OPPORTUNITIES that are now here due to the rapid growth of the company. The SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH that could be being gathered at his facilities and being used to help others understand the definition of the proverbial "2 Hour Window." The update could also include news on the newly proposed MARY JANE HEALTH CARE INITIATIVES. If we are running short on copy, we could always discuss some of the other relevant UPDATES stemming from the company's perspective and recent accomplishments.
As many of you know, most hotel managers in the country are busy preparing for their "MONDAY MORNING 10:15am WEEKEND UPDATE & REVIEW MEETING" WITH THEIR STAFF and usually during this meeting, MANAGERS ARE GOING OVER NUMBERS FROM THE WEEKEND DISCUSSING THINGS LIKE ROOM RENTALS, CUSTOMER CONCERNS, WHAT NEW RESERVATIONS THEY HAVE TO PREPARE FOR TONIGHT, WHAT PROMOTIONS ARE BEING RUN THIS WEEK, ETC., SO WOULD IT HELP TO KNOW THE MARY JANE GROUP JUST HAD RECORD RESERVATION REVENUE THIS PAST WEEKEND WHERE OCCUPANCY WAS NEAR 97%.
Making a small company successful takes everyone's part. We are building a dynasty here folks and we already have the foundation in place. This is going to be huge. If we believe in this concept, then it is up to us to promote it, to use it, to share with others who we know will also be a very good fit for this company.
In time, there will be changes to public policy and once those announcements are made known, they will steer the company into the future of lodging and healthcare in a way that benefits everyone. For now, just be patient and know there are positive forces at work trying to make this concept and this lifestyle a part of a brand new beginning.
BS . . . say what you want about a complex liquidity seeking algorithm, this is simple math. In today's world, there is nothing illegal about friends and family and even employees using online trading companies like eTrade, TD Ameritrade, Scottrade or 50 others. Who are you trying to kid?
There is always that "one person" who is pushing the button to determine stock price. AND since it is the CEO's company, they can do what they want with regard to their share price.
We as in SHAREHOLDERS, are investing in the CEO and his credibility and any attempt to shelter the CEO or try to shift the focus to some BS statement that the price is determined by "some complex liquidity seeking algorithm" is just more smoke and mirrors.
The market is a simple case of supply and demand. The More people buy, the more the price goes up. In this case, it is clear more people have bought than have sold yet, in this case, the money is still being funneled off and the price has continued to go lower.
This "how low can we go" game will change now as it is apparent the SEC, IRS, DEA and others are now looking at this company to see if in fact it is being played out in a fair and legal manner.
So get ready, the public is clearly behind this stock and now we will all see the real reflection of what this company stock price should be. It is nice to know the refs have arrived and from here on out, the game will be played fairly.
You state the "real world" consensus deems the value at .0013. The real question should be WHO is actually in control of the stock price?. . . Unfortunately, at this time, there is only one person that deems the stock to be valued at .0013 and that is the person with his finger on the button that dictates the actual ask and bid price. And that is the CEO.
The CEO ( and related business ownership - ie. financial consultants, lawyers, family members) They are the only ones who dictate their company's share price. If they want to drive the price up and increase share holder value, they can. Unfortunately, in this day and age of the one & two tick flippers, increasing shareholder value requires a different strategy than just raising and lowering the price. That kind of volatility just creates stress and fatigue and allows the gamblers to win big by trashing a stock with negative press and lies spewed out over the bulletin boards like these
The new strategy is one where the CEO keeps the price lower for longer periods of time to eliminate the volatility and to also be in a position so they can be the ones who buy back all of the shares being sold from the weak shareholders who are selling at a loss. This has proven to be a successful strategy especially in the pinks where the CEO controls the share price and they know when to buy and when to sell and in the process, the CEO makes a lot of money for his company. Good for them. and shareholders IF they use the money to improve the business.
Now when a company has cash flow, then that is where they make even more money. It is pretty obvious to most here that this is what has been going on, at least in the short term, say last three-four months.
When the huge PR's hit from events like the Tonight Show, 60 minutes, Time Mag, NY Times, Sirius Radio, those were all great moments in time for the CEO because it generated the traffic the stock needed so they can transfer the revenue from the newly purchased stocks directly into their bank account by selling the exact same number of shares. and because volume is so high, no one really notices or cares. And they get to keep doing it time and time and again, until the share price drops so low, it is not worth it to trade shares for fractions of penny's anymore.
And then, there is also the fact the trading public tires of this "stuck in the mud" 1 step forward, 2 steps back" progress. There is also that fine line between using funds to grow operations versus just plain old stealing from the piggy bank that was originally created to grow sales, fund marketing presence and YES increase shareholder value. Which is where we are at TODAY AND TOMORROW.
I get why The CEO may have said the comment "At times, I wish we weren't a public company". That thought is often echoed by those CEO's whose businesses eventually become successful. If they only had the money in the beginning. and if only they could have seen where their business was headed they would not have gone public but the reality is the success of the business may have been in part to the fact he was a publicly traded company, so with hindsight usually 20/20, yes it is easy to say :Boy if I had to do it all over again!" but fortunately, there are laws that protect investors from this exact situation.
I get that everyone may be greedy to some extent and maybe at times, they take more than they should. And when they do, they do so by sometimes rationalizing it by saying "If I don't cash out early, then someone else will.
Other rationalizations from CEO's are "It was my idea and therefore I am deserving to take it all if I want" or another one is, "I get what I want and besides, the investors knew it was high risk when they put their money in."
Giving away shares to pay off bills, vendors, employees, etc also seems like such a great way to pay off debt. Unfortunately, that tactic only goes so far before you alienate the shareholders, the ones who made it all possible to begin with.
CEO's and those in their inner circle say why not take what we need, that's what the money is there for.
Stockholders say "Just lower operating costs and leave some in the bank to fund the stock price, which often times seems to be the last goal to be respected and revered . . . .
Now, there are some CEO's and their Boards ( Oh yea, what Board???) who have the deep pockets to fund the initial start up themselves but lets face it, most people at that level would not dare use their own money when they can use other peoples money.
And one last thought . . . the stock price will rise just as soon as the CEO and his MGT TEAM make it a priority. AND they will make it a priority as soon as they believe it is a goal they have to commit to.
YES, SHAREHOLDER VALUE is a goal. The MJMJ message board seems about 70% in the belief that Joel will honor SHAREHOLDER VALUE and 30% believe he is a crook who will say or do anything to line his own pockets.
And let's face it, so far the share price has gone from $12 down to .0008 and now sits at .0014.
AT least now, we can say we saw what happened and it helps to know what has been going on for the past 4 months. Hopefully, now that the CEO fund has been paid, he can lead the way for the rest of us. Time will tell.

I looked into Vandham as a company and I noticed they are based in NJ, a state that has an over-weight Governor Christy who has stated he is determined to repeal legal pot if somehow he is voted into the White House. For someone to be that extreme about something the people have voted for is just wrong. Who does he think he is to say he wants to over rule the vote of the people? While I don't think he has a snowballs chance of getting elected, I am seriously concerned that there are people like him in government who can't even take care of their own health and yet, they want to dictate health policy over others. This is so wrong on so many levels. We have all wondered why is the stock price so low in spite of the outstanding performance of the company so far. It does make you wonder if these sick unhealthy individuals who are in power are looking to beat down the financial will of pot companies to make them fail? How can MJMJ supporters band together and take the power away from the traditional wall street power brokers who clealry do not play fair? Maybe there needs to be a different MJMJ investment tool? I would rather invest directly w MJMJ instead of having to deal w Wall Street. They have proven who they are. Come on Joel, you are a lawyer. If someone can create Bitcoin, why can't you create the Pot Market where we are free from crooked Market Makers and Flippers. It's time to show the world there is a better way without the crooks from Wall Street.
You bring up an interesting point but your message is somewhat incomplete. You mention some companies names like Magna, RedCliffs Buckman, Citadel, Vertical, Vandham & Co. but these companies are not easily found when they are Googled.
Can you please be very specific with these companies complete names. Could you also include their web addresses so we can see who these companies really are? I believe complete transparency can help eliminate any potential illegal or immoral behavior being done by companies who want to hide behind a thin veil of secrecy or anonymity.
For instance, if I Google Magna, I do not get a market maker. Please be complete with your identification of these and any other companies who are or may be potentially harming the future of MJMJ.
Thank you in advance.
It's Friday . . . If you want to sell, then sell. It should not matter what day of the week it is. For many, it's pay day. Life is good!!! Especially here at MJMJ. Yes, even in spite of the pps. Today, many people at MJMJ are hard at work at their jobs working to make something good happen. Those three properties did not just happen by themselves. It took vision and effort and a team of people. It took financial risk and strong leadership. And it is definitely taking a ton of hard work to make all of the guests happy. Have you ever been to a property? Have you read the reviews? You can read right? The employees are amazing!!! The rooms are spotless!!!! The atmosphere is totally cool!!! Everyone is so friendly and professional!!! That is what makes this company great!!!!
I have met many of the team members who work every day at MJMJ. They are an awesome group. Professional, talented, caring, and motivated!!! Those gourmet meals do not prepare themselves. Those rooms do not clean themselves. Those financials do not write themselves. Those web sites did not build themselves. The marketing plan did not create itself. Those partnerships did not just rise up by themselves. Somebody honed their skills and made them happen. SO while you may think its funny, clever or cute to write demeaning messages ridiculing this company, the CEO, the pps, remember, these are real people who are investing their lives to make this company successful. These are people who take pride in doing a great job. These are people who went to school to learn finance, gourmet cooking, hospitality services, law, marketing, web design, etc. etc.
I for one believe in MJMJ. I believe in the people and I believe in their mission and I believe their plan to get this company into a position of being an industry leader in this billion dollar canna-tourism and canna-hospitality industry will make them worth $1, $5 and even $10 per share down the road.
I believe MJMJ can re-define the world in which we live with this new spirit of acceptance toward the use of cannabis, and this will be a better world because of its acceptance. It will not become a world with a bunch of stoners as portrayed in the old stereotypes of the 60's and 70's. It will be a world where we learn to use canna-fuels to power our problem solving skills, improve our memory, improve our decision making skills, improve our comprehension and to fuel our creative thinking and help inspire us to write, paint, build or just do whatever your spirit compels you to do as long as its something good and you can use it to contribute to a better world.
There are 10,000 other companies out there. Go find one you believe in and enjoy your life. True investors are here because they believe in this company. We are here trying to be supportive of the mission and that mission is to be the leader in this new billion dollar canna tourism and hospitality industry. GO MJMJ
Of course there are successful OTC companies. You know how they succeed? They produce results!
Speaking of results, I am in Maui for a few days talking to some Bed & Breakfast owners about becoming future Bud + Breakfast locations. As you know, Medical MJ is legal in Hawaii up to 4 oz. I am also discussing the idea of creating a MJ canna-friendly Tour with zip line operators, dinner cruise operations, jet ski rental companies, kayak rentals, SUP rental companies, sailing boat rental companies and a winery in hopes of being able to offer the ultimate canna-friendly tropical paradise adventure ever. GO MJMJ
Yesterday, I got to meet some influential business people at the Hawaiian State Championship Chili Cook Off. I was introduced to a mayor & 6 key business owners and had a great conversation regarding having them participate in a proposed canna-friendly Trade Agreement where the Hawaiian Govt and other influential business leaders would agree to honor Colorado Medical Marijuana Cards for 7 days to allow those card holders to fly in and enjoy having legal access to their meds. There are also 22 other states where they could honor those med mj cards as well. This way, we could open up a "canna-friendly Route to Paradise" with the intent of making Maui the first in a long list of ideal destinations for this soon-to-be booming Canna tourism industry.
I visited yesterday with the owners of the 20,000 acre working ranch and they expressed interested in helping design a canna-friendly tour. It would allow 20 people at a time to fly in to Maui, get picked up at the airport in a luxurious tour Canna-Bus and have the group be driven to their Canna friendly hotel near the working Ranch where there is Horse back riding, cattle, sheep, a winery, a restaurant and this real cool part is this working ranch is only 45 mins from the ocean for some world class deep sea fishing, assorted water sports and dinner cruises and 45 mins from the top of the highest volcano in Maui for some of the most scenic views in the world. GO MJMJ
If MJMJ were to charge the new properties a management fee up front in order for them to get a copy of the "MJMJ Roadmap to the Treasure Chest" that MJMJ has so ingeniously put together, there would not be too steep of an initial investment for each new property.
MJMJ would also be getting a commission each month for increased bookings. Aside from property improvements and some marketing expenses, there would not be much new capital outlay. Any decent bank who could see the fins would take this one on without MJMJ having to dilute any more of their outstanding shares.
In fact, it would make sense now that MJMJ has revenues coming in to be buying back their own shares and retiring them. Time will tell if this is happening but I believe Joel will do what's best for MJMJ and its shareholders.
The GOAL here at MJMJ is to allow people to invest in MJMJ and then go enjoy their life. Go play some golf, go ride a bike, play some tennis, go horseback riding, go to the health club, go for a swim, do some yoga or just go for a walk and admire nature or go elevate and write a book but whatever you do, go do something positive, something healthy!
The one thing you do not have to do if you invest in MJMJ is worry about making money. The company is doing that for you! This CEO is not taking off with your investment or doing something stupid that would result in the company being shut down by the SEC. Feel good about the fact you are investing in MJMJ and that you can now go enjoy your canna-friendly life if you want to!!!
Most people have tried this day-trading sh*t and the majority of them all conclude it sucks!!! Even people who make money at it are miserable. Who ever invented it did not take into consideration the poor quality of life it leads too.
Seriously, who wants to just sit and worry about whether a stock went up or did it go down? And at the end of the day, even those who made some money aren't really happy. Ask them? Did they really contribute to a better way of life? Did they help anyone when they sold and took profits? Prob not . . and for those day traders, their main goal is to rob the investment pool and do it at the expense of others and worse, they took money away from the intended use - to help grow a company, to help someone realize their dream in the marketplace, to help pay someone's salary who is hard at work trying to make it better for all of the investors.
My advice is simple - make an investment and then go enjoy your life!!! That is the best investment of time you could ever make!!! God bless and GO MJMJ!!!!!
This company is doing extremely well. No one who is supporting this company for long-term growth cares about "one tick flips" or whatever you day traders are calling it.
This company is rocking the business world big time with 3 hugely successful locations, and they have many strong ideas and projects in the pipeline.
Please let the CEO and its team do its thing without the constant harassing. Harassing the workers or the investors does not help matters. Does someone show up at your job everyday and complain about how you do your job? I mean besides your boss? LOL
The stock price will reflect true performance over time. Any one in business knows this. I listened to the replay of the call yesterday and I heard things are progressing nicely.
I also sense that business trips are being planned to Oregon and Washington State to introduce the Bud + Breakfast concepts to dozens of potential franchise owners who could benefit from implementing The Mary Jane Group's Bud & Breakfast program.
GO MJMJ
Agreed Cuse! There are so many good things happening here it is amazing. It is also amazing the stock price is so low. MJMJ has three solid revenue-generating and profitable properties, a promise from the CEO of more on the way, and a canna-camp that will be open soon that will provide an awesome "Great Outdoors" experience for 1,000's of people to want to go somewhere and vacay while enjoying a canna-friendly, super-relaxed and uber-entertaining resort somewhere in the great state of Colorado. I think John Denver had it right - Rocky Mountain High. What a great place to live. . . and vacay!
REALITY SHOW
Seriously, what a great chance to show the world what it means to experience the MJMJ way of life!!! A look inside the MJ canna-friendly experience. If they did a reality show on MJMJ - it would be awesome! What a great way to dispose of all of the myths and negative stereotypes. Come on, are you kidding me? How can this share price be so low???
SHARE BUY BACK
It was not mentioned but it seems like the company is finally in a position to start buying back shares. One goal may be to eliminate some of the float now that MJMJ has steady income. No need to buy back a lot but just enough to keep the bashers and flippers from turning the stock price lower with their digitally-coordinated attacks and coordinated "sell orders" where they all get a code word and then they "all sell at once to try and lower the price so they can re-buy on the dips in stock price. or as it is known by many, their "mass exit" attempts to lower the stock price. It has been done for years - many see it as illegal - it is a high tech way of stock price manipulation but very little has been done about it - YET! You digital flippers are now on the radar with MJMJ. The whole world is watching!!!! Including the SEC.
BUD + BREAKFAST CLUB MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM
I am not sure where MJMJ stands on launching the MJ Bud + Breakfast Club Membership program, but for $20 a month, I believe thousands would join. Come on, it would be a natural – WEEKLY NEWSLETTER, SCHEDULE of EVENTS, SPECIAL VIP PRIVILEGES when one stays at the MJ B+B's, LIMITED ACCESS TO FREEBIES and MERCHANDISE and just think of the additional revenue it could produce from ADVERTISERS and SPONSORSHIPS, from NEW EXCLUSIVE PRODUCT SALES, and more. Sign me UP!! I'm in!!!
QUALITY OF LIFE
On the investment side, there are many places to put ones investment and no matter where you put your money, some people will then sit in front of a screen every day and worry about whether the stock price will go up or go down? I believe you can invest in MJMJ and then go enjoy a better quality of life! Life is so much better when one can invest and then go play some golf, ride a bike, play some tennis, go horseback riding, go to the health club, or just go for a walk but the one thing you do not have to do if you invest in MJMJ is worry about making money. MJMJ is doing that for us. Our CEO is not taking off with your investment or doing something stupid that would result in the company being shut down by the SEC. Investing in MJMJ is moving towards living a better way of life!!!!!!
Each time I look at what the other investment choices are offering in the market, I always come back and say, Investing in company x or y is not personal. I believe investing in the MJMJ experience is a personal thing. It is about living a better life!!!! MJMJ is a real business. It offers a chance for people to change their life for the better. It is a belief that your investment means something.
Oh sure, MJMJ will have to continue to execute the game plan but so does every other business. I want to help MJMJ find new locations and you can too! I want to help those locations deliver the same recipe for success that the first three Bud + Breakfast properties have had and you can help too by telling the MJMJ story to your local B&B owners.
We have to be able to tell that story so other current Bed & Breakfast owners can enjoy what it means to be a part of The Mary Jane Group. That they are a part of something historic. Can you imagine the world 2-3 years from now with 100 or 1,000 Bud + Breakfast sites scattered throughout the country? Each one producing healthy, well-rested guests who may go out into the world searching for better ways to contribute to a better society. Go MJMJ
WORLD CLASS LEADER IN CANNA-LODGING
I like where this company is positioned - a world-leader in the canna-lodging & hospitality industry, a fore runner with vision and ability to execute this plan, and a company that is led by a CEO and a team that is determined to make this a better world in which to live. GO MJMJ
