“Is it possible that TD Ameritrade, and others, refuse to Trade in GERS because of the CBD connection??”

I don’t think so. What I’ve learned from other who have dived into it, is that they just stopped because GERS wasn’t filing anymore.

Mentions on hemp have been on the boards intro for years, even when they where still tradable on Ameritrade. But I’ve never seen a statement about it from the company. But maybe I didn’t watch. Because to me it is all about the corn oil extraction patents.

Gers EduW' I haven't had any problems buying GERS stock through FIDELITY, though the last time I bought-into Gers was just after the last R-Split!! But I do buy my other S-P-Stocks through Fidelity however, and without a hitch!

I disposed of my Ameritrade account a while back for personal reasons and I am glad I did! Fidelity treats me well and with them I shall stay!!

With other Brokerage Co's dealing with the Sub's, they change their policies from time to time! It could be that the new Marijuana Stocks are not that well founded, so there may be RED Flags waving with them? But since the CBD/Hemp products are just a small part of Gers' foundation, buying the Gers stock through Fidelity has always been easy for me!! Gers offers so much more than just CBD products, with their main thrust being in Ethanol extraction methods, so they are not as risky as pure CBD or Marijuana stocks? IMO only..

Is it possible that TD Ameritrade, and others, refuse to Trade in GERS because of the CBD connection??



Yes, it is. At least with Wells Fargo.

On February 20, 2019, a buddy of mine tried to buy through his bank. He posted his frustrations on SkunK's blog.

Wells Fargo told him they wouldn't allow him to buy GERS since they're in the marijuana sector because of what they're doing with hemp.

To me, this proves how misunderstood the topic is. Yes, GERS has hemp patents. Yes, they're doing something with CBD oil extraction. Yes, they're increasing cannabis yields. But that doesn't necessarily mean they have anything to do with marijuana.

When most people hear the words cannabis, hemp, or CBD they instantly and incorrectly assume it's marijuana.

Dutch had a great analogy; birds, animals, elephants...

Another example: CBD is legal in all 50 states. In Nebraska, a county prosecutor gave notice to a local CBD store that the products they're selling violate marijuana laws. They gave them 2 weeks to close the store under the threat of police action and jail time.

The store responded defiantly: "CBD is legal, there's no marijuana in our products." Dumbfounded, the prosecutor sent police into the store to buy CBD so they could test it for THC/marijuana. It's been several months and the store remains open.

Hemp is not marijuana. CBD is not marijuana. Cannabis can be marijuana, BUT, it can also not be marijuana. Cannabis can be either marijuana or hemp.

GERS is definitely doing something with CBD oil extraction.
They're also doing something with enhancing cannabis yields.

What's not clear is if the "enhancing cannabis yields" involves marijuana cannabis or hemp cannabis (non-marijuana).

Kevin's working on the filings and we'll soon have the answer. Maybe CBD sales have something to do with why he said we'll think the delay was worth it?

Good Luck To All!$!$
