Nice work. Thanks for posting. This should ease some tensions...
That was a great video on biochar Captain! Thanks for posting.
Good point. If the metal framing at the Allendale plant was taken down, wouldn't that mean something else is being planned? A bigger than planned plant? A new location for the plant?? Something seems to be shifting here...
Can't wait to find out some kind of news soon... GLTA
Someone please give PCGuy75 the address so his friend can take pics and end the speculation here. His friend is going there, so why not??? Gator, I do not trust Google earth's dates posted. I think that they have been incorrect before... Pics would be great! Thanks.
Dear Admin and VGPR Investors,
I apologize for starting a ruckus about MJ. It is one of my passions and was simply replying to a single post. I certainly didn't mean to start any arguments about it. Instead of arguing about it, maybe doing your own DD on MJ is best; even though there is a lot of differing info out there.
It is certainly difficult to make any factual statements (this applies to many topics) when one source is saying one thing and another is saying something completely different...
I usually try to obtain particular info from 2 or more reputable sources and have been doing so for quite some time. Is every statement made by these sources going to be 100% correct? Probably not... So, arguing over any "factual" statements seems futile.
And now back to our regularly scheduled program $VGPR.
P.S. Maybe if Vega wasn't so stagnant lately, we'd have something else to discuss... Just sayin'...
I believe that distractions, i.e. talking / texting on the phone, messing with the radio, people picking their nose, etc. are the cause of most traffic deaths. I'm sure improperly maintained cars are also adding to the list...
No one should be driving while stoned out of their minds. It may not be as bad as alcohol, but I have personally witnessed (at least a few times) peoples' driving ability go from mediocre to bad in a hurry while stoned.
They do cater to the medical MJ industry with biochar though...
All or most plants will benefit from biochar from what I've learned. Looking forward to learning more about it.
I actually discovered Vega through 420investor.com which promotes cannabis stocks.
You are welcome. It's my pleasure. Hope that you found it useful and not too long winded...
Ditto Rook! See my long winded post below. LOL ;)
Gator, I appreciate what you have contributed on this message board over the last few months, but you are way off base on this subject.
I have researched the cannabis / hemp industry on and off for over 20 years and your claims are wildly false.
I have read numerous articles from the most reputable sources that exist and they all say basically the opposite of what you have stated.
1) The only huge mistake the Governor made was not legalizing cannabis sooner. He only called it "reckless" due to his ignorance on the subject. Most people have no clue of what benefits cannabis / hemp can provide. Ever hear of CBD Oil and the cannabinoids that it has in it??? It has no THC in it (which is what makes you high) and has a long list of ailments / cures that it provides. It is proven to help greatly with Seizure Disorders, MS, Parkinson's Disease, Anxiety, PTSD, Debilitating Headaches and a host of other issues. Even our own Surgeon General recently stated that cannabis has medicinal properties. Much more on this topic will surface over the years. You will see if you follow the MJ sector...
2) Traffic (DUI) deaths and crime is down according to several sources. Driving under the influence of alcohol has been proven to be much worse than driving under the influence of cannabis.
Taking petty drug dealers who sell pot off the streets can only lead to two things - crime reduction and increased tax revenue. Thugs will no longer be shooting each other over a couple hundred bucks (or less) worth of weed and there will be more money deposited into the tax coffers.
A regulated market with lab testing will ensure that people are not ingesting some garbage, tainted commercial weed from Mexico or wherever. These types of weed are unsafe as they are never handled properly and have mold, bugs, pesticides, herbicides and can be over fertilized.
3) Absenteeism, not sure on this one... I would say (and have experienced) that absenteeism related to alcohol is much higher.
4) More brain dead idiots - I have to agree with you on this one... LOL. It's definitely not helping our situation here. Although, I have read (at least a few times) that cannabis actually restores brain cells... How true this is I do not know for sure... Short-term memory it is definitely not helping. I've seen this first-hand many times. I know many people who are very successful and extremely smart who use cannabis (somewhat regularly) and it seems to have little to no effect on them. It effects people differently (just like alcohol). The hundreds of strains of cannabis that are available today have varying levels of "highs" or psychotropic effects that differ widely. Sativa strains give you an uplifting high that makes you want to get things done. Indica strains have a calming effect which tends to make you lazy and want to sit on the couch and play video games all day long. Some people even report that they are more focused when learning while being high...
5) MJ as a "gateway drug" is relative I suppose. Alcohol is just as much of a "gateway drug" (if not more so) and is a much bigger problem and easier to access. Some people just have an addictive personality and if they want to get high, they will find a way.
The money that is at stake is extremely important to our economy. Colorado alone brought in $763 Mil from cannabis sales. Of which, about $15 or $20 Mil went to taxes. This does not even include the edibles market and they estimate that market at 30% - 40% of the dry herb market. So, we are at $1 billion in recreational / medical cannabis and edibles combined. So I would think that it's safe to say they actually brought in $25 or $30 million in taxes? These numbers will be confirmed soon enough and we are only talking about one state.
Additionally, hemp which has tens of thousands of uses is a whole other beast of a market. Yes, you read that right - Tens of Thousands of uses. You can't get high from hemp no matter how hard you try. It is impossible as there is very little to no THC in it. For hemp to be illegal and classified as a schedule 1 "drug" is absolutely absurd. IMO this market could be 10 times bigger than cannabis and together could greatly help pull us out of this recession. Why do we import hemp from China, Australia or several other places to currently support a $500 Mil (annual) industry in our own country? Makes no sense to me...
Cannabis has proven time and time again to be much safer than alcohol. If alcohol is legal, cannabis should be too.
I could post links to the most reputable and reliable sources on this topic that exist all day long, but I will leave it up to you to do your own DD on the subject.
I hope that my rant (which turned out to be much longer than expected) has shed some light on the subject and encourage anyone reading this to do their own due diligence.
Thanks for reading!
It has limited (if any) coverage in the lame stream media as Big Pharma (such as Pfizer, Bayer Aspirin Co, etc.) and many other companies have demonized cannabis and rallied against it for nearly a century. The lame stream media is controlled by big biz and owned by only a few companies. Stating the obvious here to people in the know, but anyway...
Big pharma does not want you to be able to cure or treat yourself as they stand to lose massive amounts of money. They would rather see you sick and keep treating you with their crappy drugs. Make sense?
Nice man! VGPR seems kinda stagnant as of late, but I'm hopeful... Seems like one of the best penny picks around from the DD I've done... May not be a "perfect" company, but definitely worth holding a good amount of shares from the way I see it.
I do wonder why "big" things have been promised for about 3 years now and not much seems to have come to fruition though...
LOL, that's a good one! 3 years and the same old story??? WTH? I did not realize that... Oh boy, I may have to rethink my position on this one...
You can polish a Turd (AJAC) all day long, but it will never shine like a Diamond ;)
Been in AJAC for 20 days now and it's down 60%. Looking like a true turd so far... Hope I'm wrong... Don't have much $ into this one, but would be nice to see it do something...
Powerhour ended with a BANG!! GLTA
Yeah Papa! Grab a few million more shares! HaHa, Nice Man!! I'm holding some VGPR and would like to load up, but not sure if I can yet... Have to cash out on another pick I 'm holding. Best of luck to all!
VGPR vol building! Looks amazing for today! YeeeHaaa!
VGPR Exploding out the gate!!! Nice!!! Go VGPR!!!
Left voicemail for Mike one month ago and again yesterday with no response... Emailed on 1/14 and again no response... Not looking very good to me. If you are too busy to spend a few minutes of your time to answer 2 voicemails and an email, you're too busy. Hire an assistant.
I have been running an online business for 14 years and not once did I not return a phone call or email.
The reason that I wanted to get in touch with Mike is to put together a plan to grow hemp in NY when the time is right. I will be looking for land to build a house on and will get a sizable piece of land to grow on if all goes according to plan. I can't make any kind of plans if I get no response from ALGA. I would much rather work with ALGA as they already have the ball rolling and could use their guidance.
I am not a farmer, but I do have a "green" thumb ;)and I am willing and able to do whatever it takes to make a success of growing hemp.
Maybe it's just too early to make plans for growing in NY at this time...
OK, thanks. I'm using TD Ameritrade. Not sure if I have the ability to see that info or where I would find it...
@Stratdan, 1.25 mil pre-market... Just wondering where you got that from?
Does anyone happen to have a link to a recorded version of the conference call? Thanks in advance...
Thanks for the insight and info Mansion. Just have to wait for it to pop I guess. Will be watching like a hawk. I never received an email from Vega. Hmmm... Just resigned up for the newsletter...
No idea, but you would think that investors would be picking up on this one. Maybe it's still just too soon... Vega has to be one of the best pennies around given their position, plans, the 5.7 mil contract, etc. I've done some serious research over the past year on alternative energy stocks, 70+ medical MJ stocks and a couple other sectors and I keep coming back to Vega for the win. Holding for now. We shall see what the future brings.
VGPR has been pretty stagnant for 2 months now... Up, down, up, down... What's the deal?
Looks like getting over 0.0006 today will be rough with the float...
4weed, just got my first email from ALGA at 11:21 am... Seems to be working now...
Thanks for that 4weed. I appreciate it.
I signed up too over a month ago and signed up again yesterday and never received an email...
Wouldn't bank on it. I bought it at the end of the StockTips promotion last Thursday @ 0.245 and it has not even come close to what I bought it at since. Holding for now as I have no choice...
Nice read 4weed! Great news. Thanks for posting!
What is the deal with the bid/ask spread? Why is it so far apart? You'd be losing like 50% right from the get-go...
Thanks. Will do.
It's like a ghost town up in here. Hello?? Echo....... ;) This one is dead for sure.
Yeah, should have listened. Should have shorted it... Would A Could A Should A...
Here it goes again... Tankin' SOB!!
Rolling the dice on this one... Bought @ 0.245. Tanked about 30% last Thursday; the day that I bought it... Hope it bounces today... We shall see...
Why I like Vega Biofuels (VGPR)
Do your due diligence and you will see that Vega Biofuels is an international force to be reckoned with.
I have been researching the hemp/cannabis and alternative energy sectors for several months and I keep coming back to Vega Biofuels.
This is a tangible company that actually exists and is making the right moves at the right time. The recent $200K USDA grant backs up my claims at least a little. I honestly cannot say that I have seen a better investment opportunity in the penny stock market to date and I have researched hundreds of them over the past several months.
Benefits of Bio-Coal:
- It's Carbon Neutral
- Output of approx 30% more BTUs than traditional coal
- Burns Cleaner and more Efficiently
- More attractive than traditional coal to countries with high carbon taxes
- Highly Sustainable (Using coal and oil is not sustainable)
- Attractive Alternative Energy Sector
- Fits exceptionally well into the "Green Business" landscape
- Tremendous Potential in International Markets
Benefits of Biochar:
- Doubles Plant Growth (See their Twitter page and find a shareholder submitted pic of a successful growth test: https://twitter.com/VegaBiofuels/media)
- Microbes and Fungi flourish and are the primary benefits
- Effective for 17 years
- It's Carbon Negative
- Reduces Global Carbon Emissions
- Effective Bio-remediation Uses (Environmental Clean-Up)
- Caters to Farming, Agriculture and up-and-coming Hemp and Cannabis Industries
These are just some of the many benefits that Vega Biofuels offers. In addition, Vega is planning to make Bio-Feedstock from Biomass and will even further diversify their business model.
Given the company's mission, vision and goals it seems to me that this is a long buy and well worth holding onto.
Call this posting a shameless plug, but I believe that this company is destined for success and I am now the proud owner of 100,000 shares. For a total cost of $80, I don't see how you can go wrong...
I have no personal affiliation with Vega Biofuels other than being a new shareholder.
