Agreed.

The MSA and other state laws and regulations have made it extremely burdensome for non-participating manufacturers (to the MSA) to operate. Further, there has not been a new participating manufacturer approved under the MSA since 2007. Approximately 97% of cigarette unit sales in the U.S. are subject to the MSA.


And so we have a $4 to $6 stock with MSA and the patents alone, that's respectable, no need for it to fly to $20 or whatever at this point.
Time will tell, the upside here is enormous, imo.

My impression is that you view XXII as being no different than any other new tobacco company trying to make it in the world market and give them about the same odds of succeeding as these run of the mill companies.

I view XXII as different from any other tobacco company that has ever appeared on the worldwide tobacco scene due to their disruptive IP. As such, I see their future as extremely positive and believe they will have to screw up royally to mess it up.

Since they have experienced mgt, I don't foresee this happening.

For all our sakes, I hope my view is the correct one on this subject.

Major indicator #1: What other new tobacco company would even be able to arrange meetings with the top level managers of the Chinese Natl. Tobacco Co.?

Major indicator #2 What new tobacco company could entice the 2nd largest tobacco co in the world to sign a joint technology agreement before they even had started production?
