There was a new filing. Otc seems to be down for me at the moment, but I know I saw a filing that I skimmed from either today or last Friday. It did show Ustin as the holder of all the cards, which is good. And it showed some work behind the scenes.
I wish they could quit dilly dallying around with amateurs and get serious. Hire serious people. You get what you pay for. So far, they are just jacking around. But at least some work going on behind the scenes. I don't want noise. I want music. They have potential to be interesting. To play up the fact that liquor, like cannabis, is up in recessions. Let's get this show on the road!
On a Skim I like it
I've only been skimmming around intermittently today so far. I can't read start to finish like you guys without getting a headache and getting real sleepy. But they did touch on Emerald's questions, which are good questions, and I really like that.
I don't think there is any reason why anyone should sell at this point. The verdict is in, and we are indeed slightly below a p/s of 1 for the fiscal year ended 3 months ago. I don't understand the Vincente Fox answer either. But I like the fact that he is still there and he is still going to be onboarded. That's the plan on the record, and that's a lot better than being MIA. That was like a lost child calling in to say, I'm alive. Thank goodness! That doesn't mean punishment isn't coming for making everybody worry unnecessarily, but what a relief.
They did breakout Americanex in the 10k, and they had zero revenues to contribue. I don't understand that. It was closed on in September, but zero revenues for the close of December 2019. Huh? I'm dumbfounded. So, then what did they buy for so many shares? And then on skin on the conference call, Zac said something about it opening up on April 1. I'll assume for now that Canalytics (sp) is has its tentacles in there too. And I'll assume revenue is coming.
We are indeed getting close to that roundoff number of 100M shares. I think 93M or so, which is a little more as we speak. Just stop making big acquisitiosn, please.
What real interesting to me is PHUN also reported a 10K also today. That's the SPAC on the Nasdaq, which went from 500 a share to currently 67 cents. They lost like 38% revenue and are down to 19M. From 30M down to 19M. We are now at up and at 16M with NO help from Americanex, and closing in fast. Only a 4M gap now between those two, which was must greater a year ago. They lose 12M for the year whereas we lost less than 10M. They are now priced at around $25M in after-hours trading, and we are trading at around $14M. PHUN has been around a lot longer than us, and yet I think we are looking better on a fundamental basis. Their gross margins for the year are about the same as ours in our 4th quarter. PHUN is another industry, granted. And there are some great deals out there, so that will also hurt our price on a comparison basis.
But, I wouldn't say this price is bad right now. And on a skim, I think the transcript said CRON. Is that a typo? I think they meant KERN, but I have to actually listen to that. And that really is a good comparison, and they are falling too. I like what we have better on a skim. KERN also released very interesting PR last Friday:
https://seekingalpha.com/pr/17821246-akerna-flash-report-medical-cannabis-sales-in-co-up-57-during-week-of-panic
They state their seed-to-sale whatever software is soaring in this CV19 crisis in the last few weeks. Specifically:
Total cannabis sales: Up 35%
Medical cannabis sales: Up 57%
Recreational cannabis sales: Up 26%
Flower sales: Up 35%
Vape sales: Up 66%
Edible sales: Up 43%
There's no reason to believe ours would not be up as well. Same industry. And we just partnered with some ILOVEHEART whatever that's focused on Edibles amongst other things. We are a Seed-to-Sale software player too. That partnership came in January if memory serves correct.
I'm definitely sticking around and happy with these lower prices. I want to see how it all unfolds. If it drops to 7 cents, I can afford to buy 20,000 for what I bought 10,000 for. I think this is a good price though.
The whole industry is clobbered. And now all industries are clobbered. So valuations are a lot about comparisons too. We are comparing thinngs to an overvalued industry before which was more overvalued than the bubble that burst. And we don't know how bad things can get, but I don't think things will get worse for HLIX. They are pretty sheltered from this CV19 crisis if you ask me. Compared to most people.
I don't think I picked up what, if any, revenues canalystics was contribuing on a skim. But I do like the idea of it a lot.
I also don't think anyone selling down here intentionally has a lot to gain. Those Amercanex guys are burned with us, so they need to perform. Not sure what they are contributing yet, but I'm seeing frmo them.
Oh, there is some nasty stuff in there too. If I recall, int he subsequent events, somebody from Florida is sueing HLIX, claiming they own 10% of Amercanex, which is referred to as Green something in the 10k. But it is an adventure. Will be interesting to see how the cards fall. Steve Janjic can suffer and rightly so if that case has merit.
As for any insiders that might have sold high for greed, Karma has a way of always settlign the score. That money, wherever it went, went into an investment somewhere that got stonewalled in the CV19 situation that nobody is immune to. And rightly so.
We are also at a great price to be bought by a bigger fish somewhere in the future if we can't make it on our won. We have some great things to offer, and this is a discount to being bought out if you ask me. There is a lot of Goodwill on our balance sheet, which is really expensive things we paid for. And you look at Amercanex, and you say, what did buy for 25M shares or whatnot? I'm going to give them a year to show me what they bought there.
P/S of less than one, in all this, I think that's good. Compared to PHUN and KERN, I think that's good. At least they didn't have to shut stores down like my beloved NROM, which is still the better value if you ask me. But getting sucker punched by CV19, unlike HLIX.
Overall, good conference call so far on a skim.
3/17/20 12:05PM EDT Buy 10000 HLIX Executed @ $0.12
I guess Seeking Alpha commands a high premium. They think their #$#@ don't stink. That's what happens when you don't hire teens or ass$#@S to be your moderators and have an internal affairs dept. If you appeal a bad order there, you get someone with intelligence. They deserve their money.
So, I guess can't see my commentary on that thread. You have to pay. But there it is, same price as HLIX is right now.
My full post read:
-----------------------------
A Shout out to Renmin2 and IHUB
Yes, I bought last week:
03/17/20 12:05PM EDT Buy 10000 HLIX Executed @ $0.12
I have 20,000 shares of HLIX at an avg. price of .47 now. I'm sorry, but I'm on a loan computer right now and I dont want to put my "IP Scrambler" as I call it on a loaner. My computer is being trouble-shooted and was sent back to have the mother board replaced. It's taking a long time with situation the world is in right now . And they replaced it and problem still not identified. Maybe it's the router or something illogical.
I see people hoarding guns, cannabis, and toilet paper. I think this good value, but I think heavy unnecessary dilution. At least if you are going to fall, let the world come down with you. I still think this will be only one of the driver of the economy in the recesion that is already here. 1/5 the price of KERN right now. I look forward to this conference call. I'm glad to see live quetions coming.
Not happy with some things, but I did buy and putting that on the record as the stock is at .12 right now, as well when i bought 7 days ago
Helix Time
I just got my computer back today as this time-stamp explains:
https://seekingalpha.com/pr/17817222-helix-technologies-announces-fy-2019-results-and-earnings-call
I have 20,000 shares here now at an average cost of .47. I did buy 10,000 more at .12. I sold all my insured Macy's stock, and I bought more NROM, another 100 shares of Wells Fargo, another 100 shares of Bank of America, a 100 shares of Kroger (new position), and another 1,000 shares in GE. I've been bought out in PEGI, which was a lucky break as everything has been beaten to a pulp. Except for Fineqia, which has no where to fall and is a beacon of light in this dark world. And, ahem, 2 scam stocks currently under manipulation.
I still think the cannabis industry will be one of the only working engines in the Depression we are entering. And the Recession which is officially here. This stimulus is only a fix for 2 months. I lost my second industry 100% -- cancellation across the board all through April and end of March, 100% up in smoke. And I'm trying to get a hold of the unemployment office for contractor benefits. But nobody will answer the phone. They overwhelmed. We have stimulus and can't get to it. Thanks for nothing!.
And my 1st industry job has had massive layoffs, and I'm lucky I wasn't targeted. I"m working from home now. Lots have things have changed. And I still can cover my bills on one job because I'm a minimalist. And my 401k match was taken away, salaries were cut, and I'm in a recession proof business. That's how bad CV19 is.
So, being that the world is fallign apart, I don't care about HLIX's fall anymore. They are at almsot a p/s of 1 now. There are some things I'm not happy about like Vincente Fox mia, but I have no ill will to any insiders that made money.
And, guys, Watsup, can y'all just behave? It's really not nice to insult someone like the President of the United States. Remember when he mocked retarded people? He wasn't insulting his target. He was insulting all handicapped people. Attack people on the merit of the complaint. Don't be like Helix and appeal a case based on nonsense. Address the substance.
I don't care if a woman has a boob job or if you had a face lift. And I can't tell what's real or not. And I don't care. I was losing my hair in high school and I was very conscious about it. But people like me that lose their hair so fast are high in testosterone. Which means much higher sex drive, thank you very much. There are pros and cons to everything. Just knock off the disrespectful stuff, please.
I look forward to the conference call on Monday. I'm glad to hear there will be "live questins." I hope there is participation. I'm real busy with things and probably -- well, maybe I will attend. We'll see.
I've been taking a beating in the market, and I don't care. I'm taking advantage where I can. My taxes are being done, and I hope the savings I put away for it will have a good amount left over for more fire power. Point being, there are some good things out there. Like banks. If they fail, we go back to the dark ages so none of it mattered anyway. They are too big to fail. Grocery is good. Oh, Blackberry. I bought another 1,000 shares there too at $3.00. That's security. The world needs security. Nohing is safe right now.
HLIX is not alone in its thrashing, and this industry is still getting thrashed. But, people are hoarding marijuana. I think it's going to do good. Even if we do go back to the dark ages. This may end Prohibition 2 faster, and HLIX is an important place in this industry I think.
I hate the dilution, the toxic financing, and some other things. But I do like this price. 7 cents is even better. That's okay. I can roll with the punches. I think HLIX is here to stay in some diluted form or another. I hope they can consolidate and I'm ready to see how the next chapter. Let's have fun and roll with the punches.
That's a good description of what happened, Whatsup. More like This little piggie came to the slaughter house:
Sell 554 ENCW Executed @ $0.22
Mar 02, 2020
9:31 AM ET
Sell 200 ENCW Executed @ $0.22
Mar 02, 2020
9:30 AM ET
That's only $165.88. The cost at .02 for 25,0000 shares was $500. That's a tiny piglet. Then some jerk came and cut me off at .20 and put his ask there. Not enough volume to break through him, which doesn't take much. That's why I need a story. I have manipulator in the house that has no story. The spread is .008 to .20. Those are very skeptical pigs. These are pigs that had their house blown down a few times, so they are looking for a wolf. And nobody is giving them any magic beans. It's a very, very amateurish manipulation attempt. I have amateurs in two places giving me good paper returns, but they can't close a deal. I'm just in for the ride, making true observatiosn from time to time.. I need to find sophisticated scammers. I can't even pretend to be faked out. This is like watching an amateur magic show from a little kid.
Oh well. One day, something may emerge from that portal. HLIX is at least a real show. Real product, real sales. At least they can close a deal and they can do a lot more than I can on delegation and micro level.
There is a very interesting article out there that flew under the radar. It talks about us, but the article is a bearish article on KERN. I found this afternoon. Very interesting, and it should in theory get tagged on the HLIX board at Seeking Alpha, but it didn't. Hence, it flew under my radar. But I like the article. Very interesting, and it makes a good case for KERN's cash burn and overvalued situation in an overvalued industry:
Read it now while it's free. It won't be much longer. Unlike this corrupt forum, Seeking Alpha deserves every dollar they get because they are legit:
https://seekingalpha.com/article/4326083-akerna-undisclosed-probable-contract-cancellation-coupled-low-cash-balance-equals-near-term
A HLIX Excerpt:
At a stock price of $7, Akerna is trading at 6x EV/LTM sales and 5x C2020 consensus sales. Publicly traded comparables are difficult to find, but HELIX TCS (OTC: OTCQB:HLIX) which acquired Akerna’s direct competitor BioTrackTHC in 2018 appears to be the closest. Helix has two segments: software and physical security/guarding which account for roughly 65% and 35% of revenues respectively. Growth in the lower margin legacy security business is flat, while the higher margin software business grew over 50% y-o-y in 2019. Helix is trading at ~3x EV/LTM sales, has slightly lower blended gross margins than Akerna, but a larger compliance software footprint with 10 state governments using BioTrackTHC seed-to-sale software and potentially similar or higher organic growth (HLIX hasn’t provided revenue guidance yet but revenues have been growing ~20%).
It also states, With its history of quality issues, Akerna appears to win contracts mainly by underbidding competitors, creating legitimate concerns around its ability to achieve profitability... ...Akerna won the 5-year Utah contract by offering 27% the quoted $5m estimated value and less than half of competitor BioTrackTHC’s $3.5m asking price. An insider at competitor BioTrackTHC told us it will be nearly impossible for KERN to generate profit on this contract and given the disparity in bids, and we believe him.
Yeah, I think we need to focus on quality. Luckily I'm in a regulated industry that sets prices to keep margins healthy. We compete with scale and a suite of supporting services and global reach. We are the Borg. Resistance is Futile.
But for HLIX, I think they really need to get serious about quality clientele and quality image. Be high scale. Go fine dining so to speak. That's where I go in my second industry. I don't have time for cheap people. Cheap people come with problems and just not worth it. Be expensive and be worth it and focus on wha tyou have now, consolidate, and make wise parterships only and focus soley on reaching profitability.
ENCW is up 3000 Percent. Anybody know why?
I can't figure it out. It went up 3000 percent on Friday. Does anyone see filings or noise anywhere? Any rumors or something filed somewhere that I'm not seeing that could shed some light to help explain the rise from nowhere?
Adijas -- ENCW is up 3000 Percent
Can you look at that one please, Adijas? Your research is good. I can't figure out why this popped up 3,000 percent on Friday. I've had it on my radar a long time. I also can't remember if the transfer agent was verified before or not.
Do you see filings anywhere that could cause a rise, such as a Secretary of State somewhere?
Hello, Shellking. Long time, no see. We had some stocks together in the past.
Up 3000% That certainly got my attention. Thanks for the link, Puff. I've had this on my radar for some time because it's an empty shell that had this name change to Enchanted World some years back, and then nothing happened.
Now I see that the TRANSFER AGENT has been verified. Was it like that before? I don't know. I can't find anything new that happened. Unles it's this transfer agent. If so, it would imply some movement behind the scenes.
I need Adijas to look at this. He's good at research. I'm going to ask him to take a look and see if he does see anything happening behind the scenes. Somebody, somewhere, started some buying for some reason. Why? That is the mystery. Like Mystery Island - The Enchanted Island. I wonder if there gold buried on this island?
Anybody with Level 2 Trading that can give some more indepth analysis?
BTW, yesterday, I officially became the lead plaintiff tagging behind the highest lead plaintiff against a clean energy firm. No cost to me. We are going to mamke sure the hedge fund leading the charge doesn't act only in their own self interests. Because that's a problem there, like here, and everywhere.
I gave them my time-stamped evidence yesterday to be attached as "Exhibit A." It's a very interesting case, and it's a big multi-billlion dollar company that pays a very nice dividend yield. I didn't want togive up that yield. I was bought by a bigger private fish at a nice profit. But, our complaint is that we are worth much more. And have lots of supporting evidence, and the list of infractiosn to the law are long and numerous. They include things like "veto blocks," and "engineering pathways," and "conflicts of interests," etc. etc.
Unfortuneately, HLIX is too small to go after and they probably know it. There is a lawsuit against them for not paying overtime. Don't know if that case has merit, but I know the appeals argument HLIX tried had no merit on common sense alone. And it was rejected and rightly so. I said way back then, stick to the truth and don't follow a lawyer's advice just because you can. If you think you are right, fight it on that grounds alone. Don't dismiss something on follow just because you can. Never deviate from the truth. It reveals a dark soul.
The moral of this story: Trust nobody. But don't be like Caligula or Commodus either. Or like our current President, which is so much like Commodus and so little like Caesar. Just have fun with it. And just watch your back. Truth always comes out in the shake, and that's all that matters.
Equtz is right. They actually already started, but as I said in posts prior, it will take all year do clear the dust. That is why I also said to round this up to 100M shares for easy calculation and for dilution. Some of them are variable because they convert at a discount, and already have been when the price dropped below .90, and that's a toxic brew.
So, yes, when you see Form 4's from insiders at these prices, don't respect them. They are telling you why it's a good deal at conferences, and they are selling to you. Isn't that what conmen do?
That being said, the stock did meet a lot of demand yesterday. I was tempted. However, I want Wells Fargo at $30.00. That's like our .30 only better with a high dividend yield. Their management isn't exactly all that respected eitthber these days, even with the oust of Stumpf. I've had that stock since the 2008 financial crisis, so I'm up even though I'm down and scandalized. So, I want more! Wells will rebound.
This one, to be fair, is taking a beating with the entire market. HOWEVER, good stocks always bounce back. This one is in an industry whose valuation was always high. And I always said, it may never come down. So, I wanted a foot in. But when they come down, they don't generally ever bounce back to former high valuations. I feel like it will become properly valued and always stay properly valued. And I think proper value with 100M diluted round off is a p/s of 1, which is .20 here. That's what I've called proper valuation before but not margin of safety.
I think .10 gets to real value. And in this market, I want that. I was tempted again yesterday, but i really want to hold on to my dry powder. And insiders selling are just saying, .20 sounds good to us too! So, they don't deserve respect because they don't care. Actions speak louder that words, as Whatsup wisely notes. That being said, if they become a profitale company with 100M in sales and retain and improve the brand image they have, and they can refinance and consolidate and stop dilution at 100M, then that would be fairly valued at levels when we thought Vicente Fox was in the house. And that would be nice. But just a flat return for investors that did buy at those prices. Which is why, I never jumped in strong. You just never know how sentiment will go. But long term, the markets a weighing machine. And, this toxic financing as I like to call it is not something I really anticipated from Scott Ogur. That is a disappointment. So don't expect them to be a straight shooter with you. They aren't and they lost that trust and they'll never have that trust from me again.
My actions at .10 will bite. I know it's easier to say when you are higher than your target, but I really want to. When things get bad and reach your target, you can start second-guessing your stock. The price is always goign to affect your psyche, no matter how much you know that it does.
Which brings me to a MYSTERY over there in ENCW. This is weird. The entire market is getting pummedled yesterday, and then I see this little shell of mine start going up. IT'S UP 3000% or something.
My time-stamped evidence is here:
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=144208804
I did find Wayne B connected to E N C W, a little shell, but that was from the past and he isn't involved now. That's an oddball shell, but I bought 25,000 shares of it at .02 a few weeks ago. Enchanted World is a name a few years old, and it owns a tradename called Bella Nails which I can match to a little salon in Boulder Colorado. The owners of that corporation which I cnalink to both the salon and the shell have a nice modest townhouse. Nothing special. I can even peruse inside based on old photographs of prior market sales. I get the impression it's just an individual that wanted to own a shell. Something I've thought of myself. I don't know. The float is okay. It's more like a why not type of thing. I see nothing nefarious or promising there. Yet...
That was written in October of 2018. I still can't figure that one out. I just wanted a food in the door. Well, yesterday it starts going up. So I put a sale order at .20 for 20,0000 shares. Then it hits .20 at end of day, but I don't get a single share sold. How can that happen? I'm order is still pending, gtc. That's better retrns than HELIX, for sure. And HLIX is worth a lot more than E N C W, let me tell you that with 100% certainty! Oh, and NROM is now higher than HLIX as it should be.
But any rise like that brings attention. So is it just a feeding frenzy over nothing? A few commentators popped up on IHUBS board there, and they are speculating just that. It's ripe for rumor. I should go in there and say, "I think I saw these some guys at Roswell whering ENCW shirts. Not sure if that means anything" and see where it goes, if anywhere. Anyway, I sure want to sell that hot potato. I got greedy and really went high at .20. I specuate it's nothign too. But coudl be wrong. I don't know. IT is a MYSTERY. Can the mystery feed on itself though?
Oh, and F P W M whcih I'm time-stamped all over the place is much higher than HLIX right now too at .87. Lots of paper profits there for me, and I know 100% certain that HLIX is worth a whole lot more than that one too. But there are physics here that are toxic. And toxic physics and insiders sellling deserve zero respect.
KERN is also dropping and now at a $98M market cap. Burning through their cash, and they are still in that grab-market share mode. I do feel like HLIX is a better value if dilution doesn't get worse than my 100M specuative easy round-up number. But I could be wrong. But I do like HLIX at 21M better, which is where it is now. KERN, how low can it go? That's our easiest comparison I think. Shareholders there mad also. But are insiders selling over there? I don't know. Good question. I don't really pay them too much attention. I probaly should.
I hope you come out good, HIdden. I must admit, I was tempted yesterday. I'm holding back. Everything is under attack. That's usually happens I guess.
Interesting article here with a warning:
https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/20/02/15400210/its-a-buyers-market-in-cannabis-stocks-but-the-game-has-changed-dramatically
Codie Sanchez, managing director at Entourage Effect Capital, said cannabis investors are no longer interested in the growth-at-all-costs business model.
“We’re not interested in market share-grabbing companies,” Sanchez said.
“If that is your model in cannabis, whether you’re in Europe, whether you’re in Canada whether you’re in the U.S., it’s probably not a great model for this market.”
We have been going for growth. They did at least say on the record a few times last year that they don't feel this is the best approach anymore. I think this biggest problem here is the convuluted mess of financing. I really wish they could consolidate all of this. I think we need to be survival mode and just get partners. Like IHeartMary. I like the sound of that as a partnership.
I have dry powder I've been holding back on, waiting for the world to fall apart. We are way overdue for a recession. That chocolate cannabis company, RMCF, in my examples, is holding strong as the world falls. Macy's, with insurance in puts, taking a beating. Glad I had insurance. That's why I had insurance.
This one, however, is getting a beating. And I feel like kicking them when they are down because they piss me off with the manipulation and the lies and the half-truths. It's not good business to be a spin machine. It's better to face the music, be consistently about the full truth, and gain trust over the long haul. And HLIX has been betraying my trust. Especially with this Vinente Fox situation where he is MIA. They don't have him on their website, so I think that's the final confirmation for me that he is MIA. No explanation given -- half truth.
Once again, the same thing with propaganda. Minimize and scandalize. The same repeating theme, over and over whether its state-run media or partisan media. Here, they minimalized it. Trumped it up, but then something happened. So, covered it up. Pushed it under the carpet. A lot of people think that's good marketing and good business. But it's not. And I think they deserve a punch in the mouth for it. I think a good 20,000-share sucker punch at .10 cents would make me feel really good. Jerks.
That being said, I hope we all do good, Hidden, and I do have 10,000 shares here. I don't mind breaking a few bones in my hand if I can extract blood and vengence. And then reap some spoils of war. Sparticus didnt' only get revenge. He kept the gold too! I like his ending too. It has ended yet because his mission was noble. The same end everyone comes to. Some sooner, some later. But not all with a clear conscience.
Julius Caesar or Sparticus? Who was the true Noble Roman? :) I'm going with Sparticus. I totally understand where Brutus was coming from.
Building For The Future:
I sure hope this is building for the future. Because so far, this story sucks. They can't move past the first page. However, I do like this move to put the video here:
https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/FPWM/news
That's the same profile as TOGL here:
https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/TOGL/news
TOGL has 3 videos now, and that was a great investment. The common denominator being Mr. Edwards in both. But TOGL seduced foreign investors and still are. We are making videos that kids 15,000+ poor kids without any money watch.
TOGL started off slow, but they didn't have a big float like this. And they announced a 50 for 1 forward split. I like the psychology of 10 cents better than $1.00, even though they are the same.
I hope this company gets its act together soon. They are making me nervous. I hope they know what they are doing. Mr. Edwards does, but is he in charge? Does he have influence? Only putting htis video at OTC might be something I'd consider a smart move for FUTURE viewers. Can we erase the last 2 weeks and start over?
Can we get serious, guys? Can we hire a good production crew, do a 50 for 1 forward split, and aggressively market people with money? Just a small tiny group of rich foreigners? Rather than the slums with low-quality videos? I don't want useless work. I want productive work! Can we have quality over quantity? A target market? A proven, functional production crew? How about someone that writes for Seeking Alpha and not a tiny classified ad in a dying newspaper somewhere?
This is looking very, very amateurish. I paid tickets for a good show, and I've been waiting a long time. So far, my reviews are not good. I hope it picks up soon.
I believe you, Whatsup. Actions speak louder than words. If anyone bought them all at a quarter, they are cleaning house. A mutually beneficial arrangement. Whatever is left at a quarter, if that was their price, will be free shares probably by then. It's good to be the King.
That would be a slap in the face to the fiefdom builders. And rightly so for not having defenses for rogue pilots. But we do see Zac and Scott selling for almost a quarter, so they apparently agree.
Are you going to buy at .30 still? Or wait for lower? I commend you if you do. That would be a good call. I'll get nervous for you if you wait for .20. I just don't know. Can you imagine .10? I would love to buy 20,000 shares at .10. I'd be thinking, I could paid $20,000 for this but now I'm paying only $2,000!
Whoever's left that cares and isn't sellling, they should be extremely angry. And rightly so. That's what I want. Retribution. Revenge, retribution, and punishment. And I want to know what happened to Vincente Fox. Almost like a murder mystery. Nobody is talking and nobody knows anything. The last person to have seen him alive, Mr. Garvis, claims he was building great and big things for us in the cards. Well, we need to bring Mr. Garvis in for further questioning. I want to know, did you actually see him with your own eyes? Do you have any official documents with his alleged signature on them that you can show us?
I'm starting to see cracks in the global economy more and more. I just hope it happens before election. Let it all come down. Not just Helix. What comes around goes around, Whatsup. They will all see justice. It all works out if you are just honest. And honestly, I want to see .20 now and I want to see .10. I want to buy at both those price points (since I already have a foot in the door). I can't tell you where the bottom is; otherewise, I'd only buy at the bottom. But this is the next best thing to get to the bottom. To catch falling knives. I'm pretty good at that too. It's not as bad as people make it out to be.
I'm sorry, Hidden. But hidden information is propaganda. Propaganda's number one tool is non-disclosure. Filtered imformation. I myself will buy more at .20, which is where it could go with toxic financing. That's how I definite this situation, and I put that blame squarely on Scott Ogur. Anyone that gets to sell at a profit simply by having an opportunity to buy at a discount is a toxic relationship.
I'm also not going to defend the constant Form 4's. What's good is the guys at Amercanex must be livid. Not everybody will profit, and I do like to see torture for bad results. .20 does get to good value, but the share price goes up too with toxic financing. It will take a year for the dust to clear. I still like to have a foot in, as they are building an interesting fortress. Toxic financing is dilution to nobody's benefit but the one exploiting the situation.
These questions should be asked at the conference call. Tough questions. I don't know if they are filtering the questions either, but that would be the MO of propaganda. It would also be consistent with not disclosing the bad with the ugly. Like Fox News. The deficit doesn't mattter anymore because it's ugly. You won't hear about it. Very much like we aren't hearing about Vincente Fox. That doesn't sound good to me. Absencee of evidence is not good. In the case of the national deficit, I can look at the facts and se why Fox is silent. In the case of HLIX, I can only speculate that Vincente Fox is not there. Absense of evidence is not proof of absence, but that's where I'm leaning until I see evidence to the contrary. That's my suspicion; that's my warning sign. Doesnt' stand or fall on him, but it does raise integrity issues.
I think that bad behavior should punished. I would like to buy at .20 and .10, even. I don't know how low it could go or how bad dilution could get. The lower the price, the more shares that would be needed for a toxic spiral. Demand will have to kick at lower prices, but demand can be influcenced by diluted share count, whcih becomes a variable too in a toxic situation. They should refinance.
So they rightfully should be punished. And I'd like to benefit from their bad behavior. I don't knkow where the bottom could be. Profits won't matter at 50 billion shares, but I don't think itcould get that bad. We haves new blood in Garvis Toler there, and claims he knew these guys from the past. I hope he is underwater and angry. IFFF Vincent Fox is there, then Garvis Toler didn't lie on the record.
IFFF Vincent Fox is not there, then Garvis Toler lied on the record. It's that simple. Was he going by faith on what his friends told him? Was he hoodwinked? Whatever the may be, he is in a dark place if Vincent Fox was not there. And rightfully so. Lies, intentional or not, take you to dark places.
I, however, am going to take advantage of darkness. And I'm going to defeat it, not matter how the cards fall. I will partake in the toxic bloodbath at toxic prices, and become toxic to HLIX myself. And when/iff they get to the truth and come clean, I will benefit. And so will they. Or, they shall perish and I will lose a small pitance of my risk/reward situation here. Either way, I will remain in the light, in the truth, and call it as I see it.
I do, however, disagree about the recent news not being exciting. That partnership with MaryJane or whatever its name was is really good I think. I don't have clarity on the Helix Exchange (Americanex) but that's all goign to come out in the shake. And those guys in a toxic situation can only be good. Because it would mean they are pissed, and I like division within when things get toxic.
I'll see how ti all comes out in the shake. Next year will be decisive to a verdicct. IT's an adventure and an interesting story, no matter how it ends. KERN over there has shareholders equally as angry. Everybody is getting a blood bath and rightly so. But HLIX, shame on you on the propaganda and the toxic financing. Shame, shame, shame. Not going to defend it, and I'm not going to defend teh Form 4's juxtaposed on that background.
Is Garvis Toler selling? I dont see anything. Perhaps he might need to ask, just who are his friends? He better start searchign for his soul. And dont be a puppet, Garvis. If you lied about Vincente Fox, intentionally or not, come clean and shine the spotlight on the reasons. If someone is holding a gun to your head, tell them to the pull the trigger. Darkness fears the light. It will always retreat. That's just the law of the universe.
Now, our poster that said .30! Well, here is your opportunity. I won't only because I have 10,000 shares. If I had none, I'd definitely put a foot in. But I have a scam stock that... Well, we'll talk about that later. Sometimes darkness pays. But transparent darkness. Darkness with a purpose! LOL Those funds can be re-directed here at .20 if the cards fall right. And the cards will fall, and however they fall, they will be made to work correctly. It's not random how they fall, and it's not random how they are played.
Bottle Caps
In addition, those CBD bottle caps do sound like the kind of product you'd see pitched on Shark Tank. I could see that. How would you pitch you product to those sharks? Because you know they are going to eat you up and chew you up alive if you don't know your numbers. In fact, many on that show don't even have numbers yet. They get the look of, are you smoking crack? And you can retort, no, we are drinking CBD! And you can talk about the growing industry. And Mark Cuban will roll his eyes and say, that doesn't mean jack #$#@%. And then Kevin O'Leary can ask, what's to stop Coca Cola from taking your idea and stomping you like the roach you are! And then you can say, we applied for IP protection. And they'll say, they can tweak it and do whatever legal belittling they understand.
You need to practice in front of some sharks. Then come pitch your game to shellfish. See if a shark will bite. Sometimes, one of them do. It might be a bad deal for you. Or they may want to take over. Oh, there's a PR right there. A high-caliber shark somewhere wanting to run with it. Oh, or, how about get on shark tank yourself! That's a new one! Haven't seen an otc stock do that too. Why not be the first? Imagine the PR that could be generated BEFORE you even get on the show. Who knows, maybe somebody will like it. Maybe the stock would like it before you made it on the airwaves, which is even better.
Right now, this feels like Bloomber's performance at the debate. He is very confident but very rusty and hasn't had practice doing battle in the arena. But his commercials are good!
That's another good idea! It really does sound like a good Shark Tank show on those bottle caps. They are going to say, explain that again? Somebody, maybe all of them, are going to hate it. Or maybe not. Regardless, it would be publicity, and that's all that counts.
The Pros and The Cons
That was such a disappointing week. However, the CBD bottle caps of that video have potential. The idea doesn't excite me. I don't see it as a good idea, but that doesn't mean I'm right. I didn't think Trump was a good idea either, and here he is President. And that's a con man if I ever saw one. Transparent as day, but his flock loves him.
The bottle caps imply they want IP protection. I'm guessing that means intellectual property protection. That would make for some good PR noise upcoming. Imagine the noise they could make with that. And then they also want partners with licensing deals as the PR states if you listen closely. They just need to find a partner(s) out there in the same situation as them that wants lift off. And talk about each other. Soft upstart like us but one that makes some off-brand soft drink name. Lots of those around. A company that also needs acttivity, and they can both release PRs about each other, talking each other up. Charlestowne talking about the perfect fit of their bottles, and the bottler guys saying this gives this an instant foothold into the grwoing CBD space. Just braingstorming.
Then Charlestowne can even say things like, we are also currently in talks with Coca Cola, and that ticker then gets flagged on Coca Cola's shareholders. And they probably have money, unlike our 11,000 viewers. I don't care if the "talks" mean they scheduled a meeting to pitch their product. I don't care if the meeting went sour and they were kicked out of the room, but the company is kocking on the door to get back in. Heck, that's "talking" right? Just get out there and make some noise!
There is a lot of things they can do with those bottle caps. Whether it works or not, I don't care. I'm the venture capital. That's for the next round of investors to figure out for themselves.
We have a great price here. Don't want to see it messed up with liquidity down below. I want to see liquidity up above. So far, thsi company is trying to make noise on a weekly basis. Let's hope next week they get a little smarter ion who they delegate their PR needs to. They need to talk to our largest shareholder Mr. Edwards think. He must be scratching is head right now going, "Is this amateur hour? I thought this guy knew what he was doing?" Mr. Edwards is a professional, and this isn't his caliber work. He doesn't hire kids to watch YouTube videos all day. Whoever is hitting our videos and not doing anything.
I like the dancing girls on our website. We should oen a club. Look at MMNT over there for some ideas. They opened a "Tap Room" in London with some guys that raised money on oen of those crowd sourcing cites from people in exchange for free beer and discounted beer in the future. LOL True story. Whatever it takes to get started.
It's all about the tight float. And somebody is not working hard enough for their 5M. Not yet, anyway. I have faith the show is going to get better. Well, not really faith. More like HOPE. If they take my ideas and run with them, it can be interesting. Let's do some "talks" with Coca Cola and some serious PR sky reaching. Reach for the moon and hope for the tree tops. I like tree tops!!
Does anybody remember the company Spicy Pickle and its stock? That was a PR machine. That was high quality video. Like this one:
That was a Dud
Good luck to you, Adijas. Not good when Adijas leaves the building. If Adijas lost interest, it's time for this company to step up its game. I think they are getting played. The player is getting played here.
6,000 hits on that video, and we got jack #$#@ for that. Now I need to reasses. Where did those 6,000 hits come from? OTC PR Wire obviously sucks and is a waste of PR time. Their 6,000 hits are bogus. They must sit there watch their own video all day. And they linked to CBD beverages. Could be kids for all I know. Their hits are inflated to look important, but obviously they don't reach investors. And they don't drive interest. FIRED! is my answer. And then that article from an off-radar source was crap for results.
Can we step up our game here? Guys, can y'all come up with some suggestions for this company to get focused on the correct target market? And ask Adijas if it would spark his interest ten years ago as the litmust test. I hava few:
1) Can you get some professional, like these guys:
https://www.youtube.com/user/ProactiveInvestors
Proactive investors actually work. Get some real interviews like that. And go to a conference.
And MMNT is a parallel story. They are at 50 cents with 32M shares and an unknown float and a startup like this one. And they are selling vodka like this one and a few other liquors, like gin. Very, very similar story. But MMNT isn't talking. Can we just take some ideas from them and brainstorm? Let's look at their only PR last year. As a blueprint, embelish MMNT's ideas.
https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20190705005171/en/Momentous-Holdings-Corp.-Outlines-Development-Strategy
This is very relevant because on the list that follows from thsi PR, they are actually going to do a ticker change. Yet right now, they are still MMNT like we are FPWM. We, on the other hand, are not going to do a ticker change. I feel like this needs to be accelerated and this blueprint below followed. And I'm just going to pick the ones for a 6-week acceleration program. So that we can get this ball going. I'm going to HIGHLIGHT the things that mirror our story or should be good idea suggestiosn. And I'm going to put in italics my thoughts:
_____________________________________________________
Complete audit of the recently acquired private company, V Beverages Ltd. and its subsidiaries.
Product expansion of additional cold distilled eco-friendly alcoholic beverages and Ready-To-Drink cocktails, and alternate recyclable packaging options.
Key appointments to Management and Advisory team.
Yes. Just make it up if you have to. Just make some noise
Redevelopment of our websites with an up-scaled online store, and subsequently opening a tap room or bar.
Further improve our branding and product design in conjunction with facilities improvements to production equipment.
Yes. People especially love tangible curb side visuals. I place they can call their's. Just plan to open something. A club with Papas vodka
Expansion into alternative flavors of vodka and gin.
Foreign and domestic sales and distribution network expansion.
Pop up bars and events.
Yeah. Just volunteer to go to events and take pictures. Just make it interesting. Show yourselves. And put some background music up and do something like Tom Cruis's movie COCKTAIL. Just make it interesting.
Name and symbol change to better reflect the business, followed by up-listing to the OTCQB or beyond.
Development of CBD infused alcoholic products.
See, thereyou go. We have one good idea
Initiate a sales force in North America and commence marketing program within the territory.
Yes. Hire a salesman, give him a dominant title, and talk about continental conquest. Who cares if it works or not, just do this quickly. Let's step up our game and start releasing PR's in SERIOUS target markets. Not kids looking for CBD beverages and hitting our video you tubes and don't do nothing.
Execute contracts to have our spirit lines supplied at high-profile events such as major sporting fixtures, and to continue to grow our sideline business of distillery tours and cocktail master-classes.
Partnership with a strategic airline, or other travel destination or operator.
Promote brand awareness through celebrity endorsements.
Hire some retired football player that has a name for himself. Or a rapper. Or somebody on drugs and lost everything and needs a break. Anybody. Just give them some free vodka and a microphone and hire a good photographer. Just make it look good
Expanding sales force to other European countries with an existing market for our products, and sign strategic partnerships to help increase our global presence.
Yeah. Put your product in somebody's bar in South America, and say they are now selling your product and you are in a test market for several thousand more stores if they fly off shelves as you are anticipating. Make it happen
___________________________________________________
And this why I also wanted foreign investors. Because these days, and I'm not sure if thsi company knows it because they seem like real amateurs. But a lot of people can't trade penny stocks anymore because their brokers won't let them. I can because I'm grandfathered in. And these guys can because they've been around and they know what's up here. Adn tehy know exactly what I'm saying.
MMNT above as an example traded 50,000 shares today at .50 cents. Do you know what that kidn of volume would do here on our float? Half that volume, same money at a $1.00, and they aren't even talking. Get with the program, Charlrestowne. If you are going to talk and glitter, do it right. Don't give us fool's gold. Give us bling.
Get serious, get focused, and hire somebody taht actually works.
Now, I can already predict tomorrow's news coming from 420 observer here:
http://www.420observer.com/featured/the-multi-billion-dollar-us-and-canadian-cbd-infused-beverage-race-is-on-charlestowne-premium-beverages-inc-coca-cola-molson-coors-brewing-co-and-heineken-on-watch/
I hope this isn't more of the same $#@T. Get off your A$$ and start working hard. Get Adijas's approval. If he's bored, there is a problem. Quit being a cheapwad. These are new times. You need to spend money to make money. And quit being played. Players don't get played if you are a serious player. This video maker on Youtube just played you with 6,000 bull#$#@T useless hits. I don't care if you 500 hits if they are quality hits. Don't move rocks back and forth adn call that work. Just produce!!
I mean, 6,000 hits and you didn't get one single additional follower on your twitter feed, Charlestownes. And that sucks. That means you need step up your game. And quit taking people for granted. You need to glitter and look like gold if you want to attract 49ers. Start trading your own stock or do whatever it takes.
I hope 420Observer has some kind of audience. If not, you better start steeping up your game soon. These people here have very, very short attention spans.
I came up for some good suggestions for thsi company. Chris, would you liek to give them some advice and suggestions? Tell them good ideas. Who to talk to, what to say. You've been around. I feel like this is amateur hour. Or cheapwad hour. Hopefully not a mixture of both.
Are you still here, Adijas?
Please tell me that wasn't you sneaking out the door. :)
I can't believe that little video is already about to hit 5,000 hits before I even finish writing this post. If just 10% of those viewers decide to roll the dice here, this could be interesting. So, I hope the company releases their plans for global domination soon.
And not in avenues like this low-viewer attention article gets, which talks about us as an upcoming upstart:
http://equitiesobserver.com/featured/4-cannabis-stocks-set-to-benefit-from-expanded-legalization-this-year/
Yawn... Where it says amongst other things, "We are looking at a new direction as a Company and have set our sights on the alcoholic beverage market where we hope to carve a niche within the CBD infused beverage landscape. The CBD market is growing extensively in the US, so that presents a huge market opportunity,” added Martin Ustin, CEO at 1st Prestige Wealth Management. “We are entirely aligned in terms of mission and goals, so it made sense to unite the company under that name. I look forward to announcing our short-term plans in the next few weeks and keeping our investors and stakeholders up to date through our corporate communications and press releases.”
(EMPHASIS MINE)
They have a following about as unimpressive as some twitter feeds around here. They have viewership like Warren Buffetts newspapers that he just jettisoned because nobody reads papers anymore. I was thinking more along the lines of professional firms that actually WORK! Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to those press releases and more information, preferably through better media channels! But this is a start. Have a moon to get to. Have Moon will Travel! TO THE MOON!
I'm also still hoping for a 10 for 1 forward split. Or at least a 5 for 1 forward split. Pure speculation on my part with no supporting evidence. I'm just hoping great minds think alike here. :)
VIDEO RELEASED: It has Begun
Thank you, Chris. That hasn't been updated in years. The transfer agent gives the float as 5.173. That $173K (going by memory) is how the filing back in October defined the float *before* the mystery 5M shares arrived. So their definition includes the 5M shares. Interesting. Because my understanding, new shares must be restricted. But maybe there is a workaround. Maybe because of that 15-G or whatever deregistration thing that was filed years ago allows this. I don't know. I'm not a legal expert.
But in any case, that's good. I like 173K better, but 173K is us, basically, and we control the supply. So don't let go. The person(s) that got that 5M must be freely tradeable shares then. And they are not liquid. Yet. And that's good. They have a job to do. Perhaps they went to some new partners, meaning partnerships made. I hope some of it went to a PR firm. Because I want people to start working. And I want them paid only if the stock goes UP. So, I expect news on the horizon from our partners.
Oh, and can you please do me one favor, Chris. When you put those links for twiitter up, can you briefly say what it says? The links don't always work for me and I multi-task from work sometimes.
Here is what I hope to see soon:
1) Lots of news. News of partnerships forged. News of product going on shelves. And news of plans to open a bar or whatnot.
2) And then the announcement of a forward split with a verifiable filing. That would be nice! Like a 50 for 1 for split. Or 5 for 1 at least.
3) Plans for global domination. And fast work, fast news, lots of it, and not much down time in between. I want to see some good marketing, like those dancing women on our website. And music too!
Don't think that' asking too much. Another bullish sign lately is that 1,000 on the .90 bid versus the 100 on the ask with a large spread. That's always bullish. So don't give that cheap #$#@ at .90 a single share. Make him pay up. Want this water? YOu better jump higher than that, Mr. .90. In fact, you better jump a lot higher than the current ask at 1.15 if you want my shares.
Keep your eyes open, Chris, and please post anything you see exciting. I like your updates.
A Moment of Clarity
In this post I'm referring to, some valuations are starting to come through. This is why I have 61,000 shares of NROM and only 10,000 shares of HLIX (avg. price .83 cents if memory serves correct)
____________________________________________________
HLIX market cap, 51M; HLIX Enterprise Value, 53M; Revenue, 14M
KERN market cap, 63M; KERN Enterprise Value, 41M; Revenue, 11M
RMCF market cap, 56M; RMCF Enterprise Value, 54M; Revenue, 34M
RMCF is priced equally with a lot more sales. But shrinking, yet very profitable and pays a hefty 5% dividend yield. It has a much longer history and low hurdles. I like low hurdles. Also good margins, but very saturated industry.
But, just saying that his one doesn't pay, will have more dilution in the future. Yet, truly sincere to be accretive and not a fleecing-type scam penny stock. All good micro-caps, all priced equally now.
And NROM still blows them all away with:
NROM market cap, 11M; NROM Enterprise Value, 21M; Revenue, 12M
__________________________________________________________
HLIX is now below NROM on a price per share basis. But still much more expensive with a $21M Enterprise value versus HLIX at a $42M enterprise value. Both very close in sales, but NROM's market cap equal to its sales whereas HELIX is trading at 2 times it sales.
And NROM is just pizza and simple. And they just took off a lot of potential dilution in a refinanccing. HLIX has this toxic financing going on which won't clear up till next year. I just have to call it out as it is because it went toxic after that .90 price point as I understand it.
NROM has very simple financing. One senior note and two subordinate convertibles. That's it. HLIX on the other hand is a convuluted mess to decipher. It's like watching Star Wars and all these lasers going this way and that. Where are they comign from? Where are they going?
But I like it HLIX. But I have 61,000 shares in NROM for a reason, and the truth is coming out of the shake. Our poster here just may bet his .30 cents and I hope he does. The whole cannabis industry is getting a valuation check, still ongoing. Many companies won't make it another year and their access to cash is drying up. HLIX really does need to reach cash neutrality and really does need a good refinancing. A good Series C or something. Just pay everybody off and get one senior note.
May I suggest talking to this firm, Scott Orgur:
https://www.corbelcap.com/
They just refinanced NROM. A little company like you. One rate plus a PIK interest on top of that, 3 tranches of warrants priced higher than their current price. Otherwise, you need a master's degree in finance to even want to read HLIX's capital strucuture. It's a tangled web of small loans, always going to market for more. Just get a few million, refinance the whole thing. NROM got 8M, paid off their insubordinate subordinates, at least some of them, extended some others, and have some left over to fund 3 new Craft Pizza stores. Granted, they are cash flow positive and profitable, but you have better margins. So, get cash neutral and talk to them. And get rid of this toxic financing.
I'm hoping HLIX goes to 20 cents. But NROM needs to go up first. Way up. It was supposed to work the other way around. NROM was supposed to go up and surpass HLIX, but HLIX decided to come down below NROM. Either way, truth prevailed. NROM was the better value on a fundamental basis I think. I think NROM is still undervalued, and HLIX is still not undervalued. They are still in that gray area of properly valued I think. But certainly no margin of safety here. I have a foot in the door and I like it and wouldn't want to be out, but it's time to put up or shut up. The idealogues and pot heads have left teh building. Now the value investors have arrived, and they don't like what they see in this industry, obviously.
This company is as hard to understand on some levels as their financing. So, I take a broad simple perspective. I like Garvis, but I don't like how he said Vicente Fox was with the company a few months ago when, in fact, there is no evidence to support that claim. Makes one wonder, is Garvis smoking crack? Come clean on everything, Garvis. It's more respectful. Give everyone the good, the bad, and the ugly. Truth comes out regardless. I won't llike you any less. In fact, I may like you even more.
NROM, by the way, isn't diluting its shareholders and isn't going to market for cash. They are flow positive on operations alone. They don't need to go to market for cash. You've paid for somethings with dilution, but it's time now to stop and focus on what you have. Make partnerships, stop burning your cash. Time to consolidate and get focused on what you have, integrate it, and make your customers happy.
We have a little pizza chain over there with much less shares than you and it's been around for much longer. The more cannabis that's out there, the more munchies, so that's a good thing for pizza. And it's a good thing I don't have to worry about their share count going up. They just took future dilution off and put up higher priced warrants. That's what you need to start doing, HLIX.
The End
A PR Firm in the Works?
I agree, more to come, Berkshire. Much more. The Twitter feeds imply they made deals to put their product in some retail establishments as they say stay tuned for more details, or something like that. You just have to scroll down and read it all. I would like to see a comopetent PR firm hired, however, that can get the story out. I'm not saying the story will have a happy ending. The market for liquor is highly competitive. But we do have pretty bottles and I like the marketing so far. To me, that's what liquor is, is just fancy marketing. I think most of it is bs, but that's just me. I'm not a connossoier, nor can I even spell the word.
I can't tell if they hired Investorideas here:
https://www.investorideas.com/news/2020/cannabis/02061OTCPKFPWM.asp
I don't know if that's just an ad placement, or just part of the several network pr placements. But I don't like that PR firm because they did nothing for my stock Fineqia (FNQQF). Although, they do have several million in their float. I know, I know.... That's actually a very true story and very high caliber people. It's the one stock on my profile that hasn't had a verdict yet. I wn't go into it, but that's going to be a real winner one day.
But Investorideas just took a shotgun approach. They did make some videos and good interviews. On our low float, they may be able to actually do something. I'm not sure. I'm just not crazy about them. And they may not even be hired. Their services can vary greatly. The full package, limited package, whatever. And HLIX also hired them, but HLIX hired others as well. And HLIX is legit and I like HLIX.
Anyway, I like the work of others better and I hope there are others. It's too early to know what capacity, if any, investorideas has, but I think we can expect a lot of noise to follow. And hopefully a gold rush. Because I'm price gouging if you want a shovel and pick. I bought at Walmart, and you need to pay Space Shuttle Prices if you want to drill on my land. I just don't want to do any work and I don't really know how to mine for gold. So, if anybody wants those rights to do the dirty work, WalMart is now officially closed and I'm selling bottled water, limited supplies only. :) We all are, but if you guys don't mind, don't sell any of your water to anyone unless I approve of the transaction first. We need monopolistic, price-gouging prices.
And then there are those mystery 5M restricted shares. Perhaps 1M distributed between a few good PR firms would be great. I have no clue, but I'm just saying what I'm hoping for. Maybe some or all of it were given in exchange for capital to work with. And if so, cash can be good to build some things with. If you build it, they will come, as they say. Thath doesn't mean you can keep the lights on and turn a profit, but it's a start. I'm not here for the verdict. I'm here to sell picks and shovels. If there is gold in them thar hills, bring the 49ers hither and let's sell some water!
The Date the 35M Went into Effect
In this link is my time-stamped testimony of what I saw happen that week. The otcmarkets at that time were showing the os at a little over 463K has had been for years.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=150985631
Then on the day I posted, it had jumped to 35M. This would be before any filings for years were made public, so I knew that 35M shares had changed hands. You can juxtapose the date of this time-stamp with the date the earliest filing last year was filed. You'll find my observation comes before the facts are disclosed.
So based on my understanding, I'll say the float should be valid up to atleast the beginning of September of 2020 according to how I understand SEC rules and their applications here. The float, of course, would change with any forward splits that may happen, but so would everyone's stake.
The True Float is 463,303 Shares
Hi, everyone. Love to see activity for a change. I just want to clear up what the float is as there seems to be a lot of confusion. The true float in my eyes is 463,303 shares, which is excellent. I always referred to that capital structure as excellent "physics". I'll explain how I get there.
First, the float is defined as the freely tradeable shares. To me, it's the current supply available. Some of you are claiming the OS is the float, which it's not in this case.
The proof is in this recent filing, which was filed in late October of 2019:
https://backend.otcmarkets.com/otcapi/company/financial-report/232660/content
They defined the float as about 158,000 which is more excellent that my number. But there is a footnote to their figure, which is freely tradeable shares *not held* by insiders. I'm including insiders in my figure, which was the OS before this company arrived, also in that filing where it says as of "June 30, 2019, there were 463,303 outstanding shares. Those are all freely tradeable shares to my understanding. However, all but 158,000 are in the hands of one insider named James Edwards. And he has a history of making money. And he's not liquid. Meaning, he can't just sell those when the stock doesn't trade more than a 1,000 shares a day.
So for practical purposes, their interpretation has some merit for now. That 158,000 is held by us and some quiet others. 11,000 of those currently in my hands at an average cost of .33 (thank you very much). I had patience and was here for a long time. So, I personally own 10% of all of your pie. LOL
In any event, also in that filing it says 35M shares outstanding as of September of 2019. So between June and September, 35M shares were given to Martin Ustin, the CEO of this new company emerging called Charlestowne Premium Beverages. Those would all be RESTRICTED shares, meaning they are NOT part of the float because they can't be traded. At least for a time. And my understanding is that per SEC rules, newly issued shares cannot be traded for a full year. That's standard default to as I understand the rules. So at this time, the supply is extremely tight. And that's good.
Now, the OS has since changed again. As someone correctly noted, the OS is now over 40M shares.
Security Details:
https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/FPWM/security
As you see there, the OS (outstanding shares) is a little over 40.4M. at this time. That is exactly the 35M for the acquisition (restricted shares) plus the tiny float by my definition, plus a mystery 5M shares. That means in the last few months since our last filing, 5M shares were newly issued and given to some person(s). They'll have to be revealed in a later filing, and I hope to see public relations firm dislcosed as one of those recipients.
Nobody gets shares for nothing. And they also would have to be restricted to my understanding. Meaning, they can't be traded. Yet. At least not for a year and whatever stipulations are attached to my understanding. They could have been given to a partner(s) for aligned interests. And also a public relations firm, perhaps. Who knows. But whichever person(s) has them, they want the stock UP as do the new owners, and their hands are tied for now for selling. And they'll want to be liquid, so they'll want a good story in action.
Now, I don't know if the story will bear fruit or not, but it's going to be a story. Everybody has a story. Some work, some don't. You have the good, the bad, and the ugly. At this time, there are not many shares to trade. And 960 shares traded today, and you can't get them unless I give you them to you. And I have 10% of this pie and you aren't getting #$#@ from me. Capiche? You need to pay up.
I have a gut feeling that a forward split will be in the cards. But then again, I was wrong about my prediciton of a ticker change. This company isn't going to change their ticker. Which to me means they want to move and are ready to start telling their story. Everything I've ever said in my profile can be clicked and it will be factual and it will be dead-on in its predictions of what we see happening. There hasn't even been 11,000 shares traded for me to sell to you all week, which is very, very good physics. I like that. Because the same holds true for Mr. Edwards that has somewhere around 300,000 shares or whatever the math above comes out to. Maybe he is giving you 900 here or there, maybe not. I don't know. In any event, I'm going by that number and that number is still tiny
Now IFF a forward split happens, then I might be more willing ot share you fractional shares. I could easily go to 11,000 to 110,000 shares overnight, and dtha twould make the stock more liquid. That's the purpose of forward splits. Then maybe I'll you 1,000 shares if you jump high enough. But it won't be at 11 cents, which would be a 10 for 1 split at today's prices. You better jump a lot higher than that!
As for the pumpers here, I welcome them all. These pumpers, however, suck. LOL As you can see, nobody is listening to them. But that's okay because nobody listens to me either. I've only been saying the physics here are great for the last few years now. They are right and wrong in that regard. The only ones that can move the needle are the insiders, so they need a good story. And I hope at least some part of those newly issued 5M shares (extrapolated from its implications) went to a competent PR firm with a large following. And I hope they talk to foreign investors, which I kinda suspect since our website is in both English and Spanish. That, however, is speculation.
What we need is a gold rush of 49ers. And that can easily happen, and that is the part they are correct about. That doesn't talk to how the story will end. That would be up to what story unfolds, how it's implemented. It's a very competitive market. I'm here for the story tellers. Pumpers and bashers here won't matter. The supply is super tight and all these new pumpers are in at these prices. So, they need to stay just like any newbies because we are in a dessert and I hold most of the water here. And you better pay up if you want some water. ;)
The End.
31,550 shares at avg. cost below .16 per share
Things have gotten convuluted in my time-stamps. My current share count is 31,550 at this time at an avg. cost of .31 per share accoring to my broker. A fund drumped 100,000 shares, so I own 31% of what they had.
However, as this post demonstrates, my time-stamped profits of $9,000 convulute that true cost, which came to .16 per share:
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=151990501
Since that time, I bought another 5,000 shares represented in full disclosure below under .16. I will only buy under .16 for greed purposes and because Caie Foods is sooo slow. But it's also certain to me that they are still moving forward based on this link which was posted 2 days prior to this time-stamp:
Hidden
It is very odd, Hidden. I search and search, and I can't find any evidence that Vincente Fox was ever a board member of HLIX. I can't rule it out. At the same time, I can't find any supporting evidence beyond a PR from the comopany in February of last year.
You'd think all the articles out there that mention it would use some other source. Or an interview. That's how I remember, yet that's not what I'm turning up. If there is an interview, it's about something else to something recorded prior, while referencing HLIX's own PR. If the PR is in quesiton itself, that's not evidence. Everything references the PR as their source. But that's the source that's in question. I would love to be falsified. One source that can lay claim to an interview or any other source other than the questionable source itself can falsify this. That's what I'm trying to do. Falsify it. I can't falsify your premise. I can't find hard evidence. I need assistance and further investigation.
I can't find any statement from Vincent's own mouth that he serves on Helix. I can't find him on any filing. He is curiously absent from all filings, yet the other Board of Directors all sign. Only Gover Toler's statement is something on the record that lays claim as an alleged eyewitness. Or rather, implies that he knows it to be true. But is he himself going by hearsay? Or was it a lie? Or the truth with no supporiting evidence? It's just very odd.
Pegi, Pattern Energy, is swarming with attorneys that announced investigations if you want to contact one. I don't think it hurts to have an investigation. Innocent people having nothing to hide. Just call and say, this company has a PR and there is no supporting evidence that I can find. Why he is not on 2 10-q's prior to Grover Toler's testimony? That doesn't make any sense to me.
Youu have to be about the truth, no matter where it leads.
Vincente Fox is MIA
You are correct. Vicente Fox is MIA. I don't know how to explain it. I was almost going to mention it last week when I noticed he's missing here, where he should be:
https://helixtechnologies.com/leadership/
He's was also on the board of Khrion Life Sciences, and he's still listed on their board here:
https://investors.khiron.ca/investor-information/governance/board-of-directors
So, you can rule out the excuse that it's for security reasons. His home was raided by armed men in Mexico to my understanding sometime last year. He's a wanted man. Dead or alive, it seems.
I really like him and I'm bothered that's he gone. I made a purchase at $2.50, a thousand shares, in his honor. He is well connected. I think the best explanation is that he snuck out and the company wasn't forthcoming about it. And that is a disappointment. Unless he was forgotten or some other explanatoin, but I don't give those very good probabilities. Can't rule them out, but wouldn't bet on them either.
He was on the board. It wasn't fake. The latest statement on the record that I can find comes in October from Garvis Toler in this audio:
https://seekingalpha.com/article/4296194-fueling-growth-through-infrastructure-garvis-toler-helix-tcs
Started at 10:25, Garvis unequivocally states he is there and they have big expectations. That's on the record 3 months ago. So something happened in that time it appears. There is nothing on the record anywhere after that date that I can find.
It's also very weird that the press release came in February of last year. On ever 10-Q since that time, we have all of our BOD sign it. Joshi, Hodges, and the others. But at no time is Vincente Fox's name on any 10-Q. Which I never noticed before. So that's very bizarre. As if Garvis Toler was just taking somebody's word for it. It's disheartening. Feels like a betrayal, actually. I think there are some intereviews in that window of time where Fox is interviewed and Helix is mentioend. Ane he doesn't deny serving on Helix. I'd like to find those interviews... It needs an investigation.
I don't know anything about the other names you mention. Turnover happens. We have some good talent and I do like Helix. Their success doesn't hinge on Vicente Fox, but he will be missed in my eyes.
I think the biggest problem is all the "dilutive" financing since we are under 95 cents or whatever I explained a few posts back. And it will be like that for the next 12 months. They need to deliver and show the money. The idealogues have moved out of the industry and now it's big boy time, as Garvis likes to say. I like Garvis and I want I'm happy with my 10,000 shares. I love all my stocks. I don't know who is gonig to break out first, but at some point, the winners will feed the losers, until they grow up. There will be setbacks. That's life. That's business.
Overall, I love the goals and the adventure. I can't wait to see the next 10-Q and some more clarity on Americanex (Helix Exchange) and what the future holds there. BioTrack is still shining to my understanding. You have insiders always selling, but they do have a lot of skin in the game. I don't have a lot of skin in the game, so I feeel like I can always put more in at lower prices. It's that situation I always stay in where it's impossible to be at Mr. Market's mercy. Just have to roll with the punches and make him serve you. And only you know best what's good for you.
Maybe one day we'll get an interview from Vincente Fox thah will shed some light in the future for curiosity sake.
Some good Morality Questions
This is fun! As we wait for the show to start, not much to talk about. We still need a ticker change to go through to my understanding, and that in and of itself is going to take at least 40 days or so once its officially announced.
In the meantime, some real-life moral dilemmas I've faced:
1) True story: I was at the casino some years ago. There was a $500 ticket face up next to a slot machine. I sat at that machine and stepped on the ticket so nobody could see it. And slowly, gradually after some time, picked it up. But I waited. And played the game and waited and waited. IFF somebody were to show up panicked or appear to be looking for something lost, I would have asked them if they lost something. If it was determined they lost a lot of money, I would show them what I found and give it to them. Nobody came looking, so I kept it. I could have turned it in, but I don't trust that process. I stayed and walked around later. Always looking for someone crying, distraught, or looking. But everything was normal. So I cashed it in eventually and kept it.
2) Some years ago I was just walking into a Target store. And 20-dollar bills were blowing across the parking lot in the wind, scattered. Nobody but me was in the parking lot. I picked up everyone I could find. Chased a few down. I kept them all. True story. That never happens to me. Same situation. I went into the store, did my shopping, came back. IF I had seen anyone looking around the parking lot or in the store frantic about lost money, I would have asked them what they lost and try to glean some information. I would have returned it if the prepoinderance of tehri testimony lead me to believe that I had what they lost.
3) I did find a lady's wallet not long ago with her driver's license, credit card, etc. I turned that in. It didn't have cash in it, but IFFF it had cash, I would have left the cash in there. That actually had identifiers with it.
4) Oh, another situation. I found a credit card left in a gas pump just a year or so ago. I gave it to a security guard in the area and he said it wasn't his responsibility. Something idiotic and not helful. So I called the 800 number on the card myself and they canceled her card for me and thanked me. Because that had an identifier on it.
The End
Spock, I'm still in FWPM and haven't sold a single share. There is not enough liquidity yet for me even if I wanted to at my current 11,000 shares, and that's actually part of its great appeal to me. Tight supply. I think there is lots of opportunity left here. Especially if a forward split happens, which I believe is a strong possibility.
Our website is focused on Spanish and English. I like that. I hope the focus is on foreign investors, as it was with TOGL. That was good! Bueno, even! :) When I bought TOGL, it was a float like this, and I started at .80 cents. One of the late arrivals in the same context as today's "late" arrivals. Yet, the show hasn't even started yet. And it went up to $4.00, came back to $1.00, then to $2.00. So it was quite volatile before the split.

RACER-X:
https://seekingalpha.com/user/45184186/comments
There are some caveats to that sofa situation. I would not return money under just any situation. Like the following:
1) If I found a bag full of cash on the side of the road. Nope. I would take that. Finders Keepers. Even if it said "Bank of America."
And loose lips sink ships! I learned that the hard way in third grade. My best friend was always "Spock" in our Star Trek games to the righth of me. To the left of my house was a junior high girl that never liked me from the day I moved into the neighborhood. One day, my friend and I were hiding in the bushes in front of her house. Playing Hide and Seek, I don't even remember. And there was a brown paper bag in there full of cash! Over $120! My half was $67. That was fast cash and a lot of money to me. But I told everybody because I was too excited, even my parents. And my father made me go next door with him to return it to the owners of the house because it didn't belong to me. And so we sat in the living room with that girl and her parents. And they didn't know how it go there and said we could keep it. All the while this girl giving me the evil eye that I interprested as message to me that I should burn in hell. That was probably her money. But my father insisted they keep it. That was his "moral" lesson. Well, the only lesson I got out of that is NEVER TALK. I ended up with nothing, that girl ended up with nothing (and it was probably her's that she wasn't supposed to have) and she hated me even more after that, and my friend kept all of his. NEVER AGAIN. Don't talk!
2) If it was a sofa that I bought at GoodWill and it was full of cash, I would not return it. That's grey area to me.
3) A Sofa bought from your yard sale. I'd return that.
4) If I were a plumber working on a home that I knew you just bought from somebody you didn't know and I found cash behind the walls. I would keep that. If it were your home that you inherited, I'd show you what I found.
5) If I was a maid in a known drug dealers room with a suitcase full of cash. I'd keep that!
It's not all black and white. :)
It's not right, Spock. I wanted you to live long and prosper. Life is not fair. I wanted to see you stick it out. You are a good person. You deserve it.
For what it's worth, the prices we are at now is where I started buying TOGL and it's time stamped on that board. They announced a 50 for 1 forward split, and I made a lot of money. It's possible that oculd happen here. I'd expect more like 10 for 1 though IFFF it happens. It's in the DNA here, so it's a real *possibility*.
It's sickening. I had that feeling in my past, so I an relate. I had an attorney in the early '90s that just took every dime I had, because I kept trusting him. Never again. There are people that win that don't deserve it. Life isn't fair. You deserved this. Next time, listen to me, please, and never bail. It doesn't matter what we become right now. It only matters that something comes and we have a gold rush and a gold mine. Whoever bought your shares did so under stealth of night. And that's not how I operate. I tell people what I'm buying and why I'm buying. These guys, however: If you donated a sofa from your dead relative to them, and they found it stuffed with cash, they'd never tell you. I'd return it to you.

Good for you, Mval. I don't know how to long the wait will be, but as we wait, things slowly heat up. We hold a tight grip on all the supply, and this is a position of power if you ask me. We control the water in this dessert, and I see a casino coming our way. Lots of pretty girls, dancing, music, and pretty bottles, and CBD infusion. I think it's going to be a party atmosphere, turning the dessert of Las Vegas into the glimmering lights and tales of riches that that dessert was turned into.
It doesn't surprise me at all that most posters died. That's what happens to people in the dessert. Very few survive. They need excitement. And water. They die of boredom and thirst. But, things will change! A storm is coming. I feel it. And it is good! :)
Predictive Value Analysed:
In this post I'm responding to, on 10/14/18, my last sentence reads, "The predictive value of everything I just said in this post can be reviewed at this time next year"
I mean, actually, Secret Millionaire said that. That couldn't be me because he was banned by teens that hate truth. But, let's review my - I mean, his predictions anyway.
Apparently, one year was not enough. Let's extend that to TWO years. Yes, two years is better. But 15 months into the prediction so far, let's see how things stand:
1) I believe at this time next year you will see Fineqia (currently at 2 cents) trading higher than TOGL
Okay, well, let's review that on 10-14-19.
2) I don't know what to expect from FPWM. I just love the physics here. I just want a repeat of TOGL here.
So far, on month 15, that seems to be how things are unfolding. Slowly, but surely. Seems very deja vu so far...
Let's review this next year for the final conclusions! Haven't been falsified yet. Things just need more time to bake in the oven before truth rises to the top! :)
The Triumvorate!
That was the 3-legged balance of powers Caesar strategically created to bend all of Rome to his will! Before one leg broke and he had to proclaim himself Dictator.
Well, we have 3 power centers. Hence the name HELIX TCS. No, wait. 4. Make that 4! A quartet! We are now Helix Technologies. Actually, I like tables better than stools. 4 legs are better than 3! So, forget Rome. The Republic won't fall on 4 legs! :) We hope.
So I really like it. Zac understands corporate governance and structure well it seems to me. Not only understands it, but can actually put it together. Two sets of skills! I LOVE HTIS COMPANY.
So we have 4 power centers. 4 Technologies underlying the critical infrastructure needs of this industry. Not a monopoly in any area but very impressive and I hope to dominate the landscape like Caesar in his Gallic wars: Amercanex (Now Helix Exhcnage),Cannalytics (data), BioTrack, and Security.
I don't know how Security will evolve. But whatever happens there,we can still have 3 legs if it breaks. And all of it can ride on a growing industry that needs all of these services. They do the work, we do provide the pipelines, the back of house functions, etc. And then there is Engini, hidden in there too.
http://www.engeni.com/index-en.html#home
A very real software firm with its own clients that is supporting our upgrades, our own internal IT dept. as i understant it. Probably integrate well like my own IT dept where they can just take over your computer and fix problems in today's modern world. Love it! They may be hidden in the background, but I have never forgotten them and I like that we bought that little company.
And then the 4 centers are all delegated to power heads. Like Caesar's generals. We have Garvis Toler heading up Cannalystics. He seems like our Marc Antony. I really like him. Well known name and that seems right up his alley. Great speaker. He understand ths business well. My understanding is that cannalystics is something about making all this data we have organized and turned into cash somehow. Sold nad packaged and whatnot because data is powerful if you can filter it propertly. Whatever. Just love what Marc Anatony can bring. That was Caesar's right hand man.
Then you have Steve Janjec spearheading Helix Exchange (Amercanex). They aren't the only one, but they do seem very credible. I'm no expert, but I love that Janec has a heavy financial background, was the founder, and is going to stay on board. Commodities expert there for sure.
BioTrack, run by a man named Moe. I know nothing abou thim, but he seems like he has been there for years. I like him. I can't find anything bad to say about him. And I love the diverse backgrounds of this entire team. Different religions, different viewpoints, different experiences.
Security: I don't know really know who is spearheading that. Dont' know much about it. They bought Tan in Caligornia and some others. Tan reminds me of my little firm that was bought last year. So, by now, the ones that resist change have probably quit and those that embraced it have stayed. Probably they hated at first, bu tif like me, they love it now. Engini probably has them set up now on their way of doing things. Hard to integrate but it takes time.
I just love thsi team. I love this company. I love what's being built. This is my company and I don't do any work but just watch. Thank you all!
Helix Exchange Countdown
Very interesting:
https://helixexchange.com/
There is a countdown going on quietly. On January 20th it's going to be released. I feel like this is Amercanex rebranded. I feel very strongly like HLIX is going to amaze everyone.
I think there is a lot of truth out there. But there has never been a credible source step forward. Like an interview on CNBC with Becky Quick. Or a well respected author or fund manager on Seeking Alpha. One day, if fundamentals improve to the point of undeniability, it will haoppen. I think this is the real deal, and I really love this company.
Oh, Whatsup. What's up with you? Don't try to be like me. If I give ultimatums, that's one thing. The universe bends to my will. But not everybody can be so lucky like me. A man's got to know his limitations.
Get on board or miss the boat. Or, wait for your .3. You just have to ask yourself one question? Do I feel lucky? Because that's what you need. Luck. Mr. Market isn't going to wait for you. IFF he figures it out first, and I do admit he's not the brightest bulb on teh block, he's not going to be depressed. He might be hyper delusional, but he won't be depressed.
CTPB Ticker?
I'm sorry to hear you bailed, Spock. I don't know where 15k shares could have gone. I haven't seen that much traded. You should have held on to every one of them and just see how the story unfolds. I can't reply to private mails here, btw. If somebody wants to bail, just shoot me an email. We can maybe work out a price. I may agree to .32 for 15k shares. And we agree that you put it on the ask some particular time one early morning, I and I grab them all up. Instant liquidity.
Oh, well. I wish you well, Spock. You are going to kick yourself I think when you see what the physics are capable of here.
Just for *fun*, I want to speculate on what our new ticker change will be. I think it will change to CTPB in the not so distant future. That would stand for "Charles Towne Premium Beverages." It's a ticker that's not taken and would be a perfect fit I think. That has to happen first, and that process can take up to 30 or 60 days after that process goes into effect. And everyone's ticker with their broker will change to a cuspid number before the new ticker appears, and some will freak out and be confused. But don't fret. It's all going to come out the end of the process okay and intact. So, there will is still an incubation period. Just groundwork being laid as I interpret things.
15K is gold. I have 11K, and that was like pulling teeth over the years to get.
Pretty Glass Bottles Coming Soon!
The groundwork is being laid. The story is coming soon. And I am most definitely going to get my pretty bottles, which I said on the record many times is what I like. I like good marketing:
https://charlestownepremiumbeverages.com/
That's a beautiful bottle. This is all new. What was on this website before has been erased. It was old. In with the new, and this is what is coming our way soon in my not so humble opinion. And the theme will be CBD infused drinks I think.
It appears we will have an Investors Relations firm soon. Again, just the groundwork being laid. We still need a ticker change. I still *speculate* a forward split of at least 10 for 1 is in the cards after that. The float is extremely tight, so I love the physics. Somebody, one of you guys, or all of you, have been trying hard to get .20 cents. A nibble here, a nibble there. Just buy up. You can see how incredibly hard it is to buy. Shares are tightly held. So quit being so cheap and buy. Any demand will quickly erase your efforts as you'll have zero chance for the bread crumbs you are currently fighting over. IFFF I'm right, a 10 for 1 forward split would make your $3.00 stock .30 cents. So just buy now at market, and buy a lot. :)
My other stock, MMNT, is further along and they have some filings, trying to get a full year's audit before they start making noise too I suspect. They have a much larger float, so not near the favorable physics. Yet, some beautiful bottles too and it will be interesting to watch the two stories unfold side by side and compare.
Edibles on the Rise
In this post I'm referring to, I mentioned RMCF here in a comparison:
"RMCF market cap, 56M; RMCF Enterprise Value, 54M; Revenue, 34M"
That's my chocolate factory. My See's Candy. They have only 6M shares. That's it. They are struggling, and their chocolate factory is only operating at 50% its potential capacity. But, they just made a strategic partnership. We made two here, they made one. Crisis forces change. Have you ever seen an alcoholic get help before he was at rock bottom? I didn't think so.
They just partnered with Edible Arrangements. That confirms our ILoveMary's partnership with all its edibles. Mary is going to grow on a wave, and we are going to ride it with her. And vice versa. And this is chocolate over here. Edible Arrangement actually is experiencing success in the CBD market of edibles.

1) “We saw the opportunity within that original threat to take this term edible and get ahead of it with a focus on the health aspect of edibles through CBD, not the high,” said Farid in the wake of launching Incredible Edibles, a CBD business, last week."
2)"Farid is not the first or the last company to focus in on CBD as demand has skyrocketed. Market research firm Brightfield Group estimates that sales of CBD products in the U.S. alone will reach $5 billion in 2019, a whopping 706% increase on 2018. "

That's a Nasdaq company yet a microcap. More independent confirmation. Profitable, hefty dividend, and I think this for sure stopped the shrinkage. Growth is in the wind and the wind is on our back now. Oh, man, this going to be a good stock. Warrants exercise at the price it was at yesterday in 5 years. And can only be exercised IFF he doubles our sales within 5 years. Oh, gosh, I love my Chocolate Factory I think more than Willy Wonka and Warren Buffett love their chocolate factories.
Don't ever doubt me. I love my stocks. I don't think it. I know it. 30 cents would be fantastic. I hope you get your price, Whatsup. I like 30 cents better than 50. And I like 15 cents even better than .30.
I hope RMCF actually seeks out more cannabis partners and ride this wave. I want to be the supplier of chocolate and let others' do all the work. Kinda like HLIX. Here is our flour for your cake. You do all the work.
That's another great partnership in my eyes. According to this press release, Alt.36 received $10M in a Series A funding earlier this year. Another private company, which is another testament to its valuation in the industry.

And that's blockchain. That's not even talked up, which his great. New technology. And they will accept cryptocurrency which great! That's a perfect marriage. Another frontier market on money. Helix is intertwining itself into the fabric of this industry's infrastructure as I see it. This is another way to grow with the industry if you hook up with the leaders. Mary Jane is not a retailer but rather a platform for suppliers to meet with buyers. So, infrastructure.
Going digital is great. Didn't know it was legal, but if this is a way to bypass cash, that's great. That seems to be in direct conflict to my limited understanding of our core foundation in the security business of transporting cash. But you need to evolve. We can do both, and I bet digital, especially in a partnership, is a lot less labor intensive than security personnel. But keep adapting, and do both. And our role in security can change. And hopefully, those labor costs go down witih scale or replacement to digital or both in the future.
I love everything I'm seeing.
Helix Technologies
I don't even pay close enough attention to notice that Helix has changed from Helix TCS to Helix Technologies in their branding. I see them evolving before my very eyes. I would not sell. I don't think you realize how huge the next recession is going to be. The Fed is out of ammo. It's only 6 months to 1.5 years away. Maybe "deals" with trade tarriffs can push it past election. Create a fire and put it out. Typical arsonist hero-behavior.
This is going to be one of the drivers of the new economy. Helix will grow with the industry. It positioned itself to ride on its coattails. What Helix needs, I think, is just one huge investment from one investor. Consolidate all debts into one, reset all convertibles. The more the progress and ability to prove a path to profitability, the more likely that outcome will become. And the better Kern does, the more legitimacy it would give Helix. Or they could fall and pave a pathway for us. Either way, it doesn't matter. They open one good pathway or another. Let the cards fall where they fall.
December is actually one of the better months for the stock market. I'm not one of those that sells to pay bills. I don't sell "losers." I add to them. And I never sell. I accumulate and horde and never show my cards. Right now, 20% of my paycheck goes to a 401 with a 6% match. When the sky falls, it's going full throttle max. You pay yourself first. No fancy gifts. Don't spoil the brats. Don't need pre-madonnas in my life. Best to be a minamalist. Better to carry a big stick but play the pauper.
HLIX is an easy play. If it goes up 100%, which is $1.60 to me, you sell half and keep half free. If it falls 50%, you double down. No brainer. HLIX is an cannabis option with no expiration date or decay. HLIX is but one potential deep pocket to reach into to knock on the door of a former property I sold when it's a buyer's market, and say, "I'm here to take my keys back. Thanks for the upgrades, but I won't be paying for those either."
And in all seriousness, this new deal with ILoveJane looks really good.
