RE:RE:RE:RE:A sad sad sad reality....Investors have a simple choice - to invest or not to invest. Decisions to invest are assisted by knowing what is working in a company. A company asking people to continue investing when milestone after milestone have been missed takes a whole lot more effort then offering more fluffy NRs and hopeful forward statements full of the conditional voice.
LIke you, I look at and invest in other companies, but I seldom mention other companies, which you frequently do.
When I mentioned Bevcanna, it was within context and was far from a pump. As it happens, I agree with your assessment and have given you a thumb's up when you outlined your thoughts on a few occasions. Aside from their debt load, their location is far from ideal. The road is hell in the summer and in the winters it frequently becomes impassable. Plus the wild fires... I do, however, like the information they provide, including updates to address expectations of investors.
I also mentioned Molecule in the same message for two reasons: 1) their business model is the closest I have seen to Tinley's, so the comparison is an easy one to make 2) the excellent job they do at communicating to manage new investors' expectations. On the negative side, they are very new, and they carry significant debt. In other words, a huge gamble. On the plus side, their execution of milestones is impressive for a small company and they share when they achieve their milestones, not when they are going to start working on them. They even address the negative - managing old debt from their previous entity.
Canopy and Hexo don't need to coax investors. WEED is the best symbol on the market. I would never compare Tinley's to them, and until now, have never mentioned those companies, and likely wont again, because they don't fit in the same category.
And yes, Scotianbot, we do look at it differently. I bought in four years ago, and find the prolonged timelines disheartening. My rose coloured glasses got knocked off this autumn, but for some strange reason, I remain cautiously optimistic.
