RE:RE:RE:RE:Ted Ohashi is in denialI was annoyed by the tone and content of your message. The easiest thing to do is turn negative in situations like this. First of all, I represent nobody besides myself and I make no claim to being a professional. Now, to address the matter at hand.
1. Ted Ohashi is only human. He has the privilege of being wrong and can make mistakes sometimes, just like anybody else. But making a post with the title "Ted Ohashi is in denial" is excessive and uncalled for. Would you say that to his face, or even write it to him in his article comments?
2. There is nothing unprofessional about Sunniva reimbursing his expenses. It is obvious that the visit was in the company's interest, and there was no reason for Ted Ohashi to cover the expenses on his own. I for one appreciate him for being upfront about this.
3. You are missing the point about his predictions turning out to be true. Yes, many early cannabis stocks did very well, and, with the benefit of hindsight, you could say that it was very easy to pick the winners. But when he made his predictions, he was consistent, insistent, and persistent in a way that few others were. Since 2014. Were cannabis stocks popular in 2014? And yet he was there all along, encouraging people to take the leap of faith. And he was able to explain the reasoning and the thought process that went into the calls that he made in a way that educated investors and empowered them to make their own decisions, and maybe even to invest more (and gain more), and panic less (and lose less) than they would otherwise. Lastly, not all cannabis companies ended up being winners. Many companies failed. You just don't hear about them because they're no longer with us. By contrast, all of his picks (Namaste, OGI, Lexaria, Aurora, Emerald, you name it) are all alive and kicking.
Look, I do realize we have a tendency to elevate Ted Ohashi to godlike guru status and that's ridiculous. But it's equally ridiculous to paint the guy as some kind of shill or a pumper. You may look down on the "amateurs" for whom this is helpful, but when you put your money into stocks that are this risky and volatile it's kind of nice to have someone hold your hand and tell you everything is going to be okay. Chances are he's *generally* right, even if he's not right on the money every single time.

Try refuting the points I made and stay focused.
Very unprofessional and uncalled response from you on this.

Nobody likes seeing -8%, so the mood is understandably a bit negative at the moment. Tomorrow it can go up 10%, and everybody will be singing a different tune. Nothing material has changed about the Sunniva story, there's nothing untoward going on, and there's no need to start b*tching and whining like a couple of babies.
