my 2 italian centsso, to make this more personal in some way... I am long and heavy Ceapro, because I am relatively young and crazy.
I am born and raised in Canada and now living in Italy ironically enough.
I am no medical expert or have any medical background.
From what I have understood, this virus is for sure real, in the sense that it is not simply a flu. It is highly contagious, and circa 10% of people need intensive care. If they do not recieve it we can then assume that death rates would not be around 1% but above 5%. Is the USA or Germany/UK/France ready for this? It is to be seen in about 2-3 weeks time.
Now, is all of this a political/financial/economical game that the USA/EU/China playing? To me it sure seems so. These banks/govenrments making radical decisions when ultimately not many people have died yet. The dying is technically yet to come. Stock market crashes to my knowledge does not kill people.
So all of that said. I have pruchased more Ceapro today. Why?
-It is trendy: natural based products
-It is very trendy: Medical etc.
-It is profitable (if it wasnt for R&D spending and investments)
-It is backed by Canadian govenrment (grants and stuff)
-It has many initiatives that can pay out in the near future
-It is based in Canada (no matter what happens, Canada across the wolrd will always be considered a safe place)
-Canadians like health stuff
-Canadian products can be well marketed and even more so in the future
-etc, my list is pretty general and plain, im sure many can do much better, but you get the point.
now, to me Giles seems like he has been very cocky in the last 1-2 years. Big companies are interested and he has pushed them away. For now, this seems like it was the wrong decision. I hope it does not mean that he has pushed them completely away and that he actually was right to do so.
I do not think anything will get built in Spain or Germany especially in these conditions, and I sure hope the next plant will be built in Canada (italy would be also a good choice of course)
so, to all readers, take a bigger leap of faith and lets hope that Ceapro makes us a fortune meanwhile doing good for canada and the citenzens of this world.
Amen
