NCIA And ArcView Criticize NASDAQ In Letter After MassRoots/MSRT Rejection

Posted by Johnny Green at 6:34 AM on June 1, 2016
Marijuana Business News

I stand with MassRoots. MassRoots was recently rejected by NASDAQ, and the National Cannabis Industry Association and ArcView Group issued a joint letter criticizing NASDAQ’s decision, and supporting MassRoots’ appeal. I don’t know a lot about the stock market, and all the details of NASDAQ’s application process, but I do know flawed logic based off of reefer madness when I see it, which is the case with NASDAQ’s decision to reject MassRoots. Below is a copy of that letter:

May 31, 2016
Mr. Robert Greifeld
Chief Executive Officer
The NASDAQ Stock Market
AnchorOne Liberty Plaza
165 Broadway
New York, NY 10006

Re: National Cannabis Industry Association and ArcView Group Statement of Support of MassRoots’ Appeal

Dear Mr. Greifeld:

On behalf of the tens of thousands of small businesses in the regulated cannabis industry, we are writing in support of MassRoots’ appeal to list on Nasdaq. We believe the precedent Nasdaq has established in denying MassRoots’ application could prevent nearly every business in the regulated cannabis industry from listing on Nasdaq, hampering job creation and slowing the growth of the industry.

The central argument in denying MassRoots’ application for listing is its business model could be perceived as aiding and abetting the distribution of an illegal substance. This standard is so vague that thousands of businesses across the country will be unable to reasonably determine if their conduct could result in being unable to list on Nasdaq. Is every power company that provides electricity to marijuana cultivation operations aiding and abetting? What about Google that shows people where to buy marijuana? Is Facebook liable for the tens of thousands of illegal drug transactions that likely occur over its network on a regular basis? The Denver Post and New York Times have publicly accepted advertising dollars from the cannabis industry – are the owners of those publications also banned from listing on Nasdaq? Several local and national banks traded on national exchanges have accepted regulated cannabis businesses as clients and conduct marijuana-related transactions on their behalf, could those banks also be perceived as aiding and abetting?

Nasdaq is one of the world’s most-effective connectors of innovative, disruptive companies with investment capital – more IPOs occur on Nasdaq than any other exchange. In this unique position, Nasdaq serves as both a source of investor liquidity and significant growth capital — the precedent set in this case will undoubtedly factor into every cannabis-related investment decision made by institutional investors, resulting in significantly less capital being deployed to the cannabis sector. We believe Nasdaq’s dangerous precedent could slow the growth of the cannabis industry and stifle job creation across the United States.

We are calling on Nasdaq to treat cannabis companies fairly. If a company meets Nasdaq’s enumerated listing requirements, as MassRoots states it can do if you grant this appeal, we believe they should be allowed to list on Nasdaq. We encourage you to grant MassRoots’ appeal and reverse this dangerous precedent.

Respectfully,

MSRT ~

and yet again with the crap spewed .. ;)

VNDM and PUMA sitting like vultures at .97



are they really?

using MM Monthly (actual stats reported to Finra by MMs)

we have the following data for the *decoys* .. and those utilized to spew .. ;)

MSRT ~ MAY 2016 .. Total *volume* = 2,654,922

with 14 MMs *active* and *reporting* to FINRA .. with PUMA *reporting* 3.48% (92,323 shares) and
VNDM *reporting* 0.85% (22,528 shares) ..



MSRT Massroots, Inc. Common Stock Other OTC 2,654,922 PUMA Puma Capital, LLC 92,323 7 3.48%


MSRT Massroots, Inc. Common Stock Other OTC 2,654,922 VNDM Vandham Sec Corp. 22,528 10 0.85%



now for a few yucks .. note the PRIMARY/SECONDARY/TERTIARY *reporting* re: MSRT for MAY 2016 ..
aka wash trading via *resets* .. ;)

do the math folks .. 36% = 18% + 18% .. this isn't rocket science and what is remarkable is that the SEC
CONtinues to allow this garbage day in and day out on the poorly watched (and always illegally manipulated) OTC ..

why exactly is that?


is it obvious yet .. there is no market making .. it's manipulating the market for a few at the expense of most
