Most here knowthat I embrace Tinley's vision of adult style infused beverages. I am a cheerleader but I am as impatient as the next guy. I am postulating my way through the information available which at times seems mighty slim from our management team but in all fairness, I was warned that Jeff wasn't big on fluffy newsreleases, right at the beginning.
My personal opinion of Jeff is that he holds the shareholders first and foremost and went to great lengths to help me participate in a funding. When that funding happened, at the same time the shareprice ran up hard and shareholders felt that it was a special deal for a selected few. If I was on the other end of that deal, I would have felt the same way. The point is that shareholders get hurt when the shareprice runs ahead of the fundamental value. There is a ton of excitement surrounding the greenrush which is why we've seen overnight millionaires and my gut is telling me that Tinley wants the price volatility kept to a minimum. Beverages and pharma have been supporting widows and orphans, which is to say, the successful ones show huge profit margins.
Some news has to be released as "material" but a lot of stuff can be happening behind the scenes and be divulged when necessary. Partnerships, co-bottlers, potential take out deals are all hush-hush until the deal is inked and value changes hands.
Tinley, in 4 years has accomplished a lot and their innovation in formulating our products is visionary. They are a proactive company embracing and delivering on a business plan. TInley is also a best kept secret and despite being California based, is flying under the radar of most American investors, or they aren't willing to dip their toes into murky legal waters (FEDs).
Tinley has 5 thc infused products on shelves that adults will recognize as familiar, to entice them to try. They worked hard formulating, test-marketing and tweaking these products for success as branded products as opposed to bongwater that describes what flash in the pan companies are coming up with, usually as sidelines, done on a whim or possibly for a one time sale. It is repeat sales that are going to make Tinley successful and it only takes one product and we have 5 at this writing.
We also have a huge driving force with Rick Gillis, who it seems is chompin' at the bit waiting to show us what he can do for us. Workin' the bar shows his enthusiasm although I know he is capable of being a driving force, when the time is right. A lot of successes on the resumes of the people we have in our stable and I expect nothing less. glta and dyodd
