Seeking Alpha - "CV Sciences is still only worth about one-third as much as Charlotte's Web."
Yes, I agree - typical political BS.
Comment: Notice how the editor changed out the correct word "priced" for the word "worth." This goes against it being a value stock, which is to promote negativity and is a form of gaslighting and misinformation.
Continued: "This may be due to long-term overhang from the Michael Mona Jr. SEC fraud case, despite his subsequent departure. Investors who are squeamish about investing in companies with checkered pasts may be steering clear of CV Sciences."
Comment: WRONG! The market trades on ANTICIPATION and not NOSTALGIA. True, short-sellers may feel nostalgia for this stock, but they trade on anticipation. All those irrelevant and useless words written instead of actually using that space to provide a clearer picture of the company as it is, where it now and where it going betrays an agenda. Sure they do provide some of this information, but they understand how effective it is to write up an entire paragraph of negative irrational sentiments (from the perspective of a giddy novice investor) after stating facts that are positive because they know that fear is the strongest emotion. SO, Yes, writer, you can say good things but only if we instill irrational fear after saying the positive things. IMHO - That negative paragraph was inserted by the company editor because they have an agenda and it was supposed to be a Pump piece for Elixinol.
Continued: "Disclosure: I am/we are long CVSI, CGC. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article."
Comment: The way I read this is - The editor for Seeking Alpha may have altered my article to conform to and stay within their priorities to satisfy their large donors. I am long one share of CVSI. I didn't get paid by any of these companies, but I do get paid by Seeking Alpha who may have received compensation from Elixinol to pump this stock. This isn't illegal now, bribery is called free-speech, and free-speech provides a very good living now.
