Enough is enough: Time for Aphria’s (APHA.T) CEO Vic Neufeld to resign or be fired
It’s time to end the charade. Canadian licensed cannabis producer Aphria (APHA.T) has long been considered one of the ‘big three’ in the North American scene, which helped them benefit from institutional investment, pension fund allocations, and ETF involvement, and contributed to a long rising market cap that topped out in January 2017 at around $5…

Nano One Materials (NNO.V) announces big battery tech partnership with 350-yr-old French giant Saint Gobain
Since the first day that I first mentioned Nano One Materials, way back when Equity.Guru began, Nano One Materials (NNO.V) has always been lining itself up for the day, sometime in the distant future, when a big global player would come in and verify that, yes, they have something here, and it’s something important. We’ve…

Tepid Aphria (APHA.T) response to short report accusations sees stock hammered – again
It’s all gone pear-shaped over at Aphria (APHA.T) a day after a short report was filed by Quintessential Capital Management, following up on an earlier short report by Hindenburg Research. In the report, admitted short sellers claimed they’d traveled the globe looking for companies and properties Aphria purchased, sometimes from companies that board members owned…

Supreme Cannabis (FIRE.V) is not a misnomer: My first hand tour of ‘Quality City’
I’ve been to a lot of cannabis grow facilities. My mother would not be proud. And it’s probably why my car gets tossed whenever I head to Bellingham to buy Trader Joes Caramel Cinnamon Monkey Bread (don’t judge me). And, usually, they bore me to tears. Frankly, if you’re not handing out product – and…

Chemesis (CSI.C): The hard moving global cannabis venture that gets it, even if you don’t
In talking to Chemesis (CSI.C) CEO Edgar Montero, one thing becomes abundantly clear: You can go ahead and grow all the marijuana you want, and he won’t begrudge you your opportunities. He just doesn’t think that’s going to change the world, nor be bait for a bigger player looking for acquisitions, nor be a means…

The hemp shift: Livewell (LVWL.V), Heritage (CANN.C), Ascent (ASNT.C), Isodiol (ISOL.C) lead the CBD chase
If you want CBD, which is the stuff in cannabis that makes you healthier but that doesn’t get you stoned, hemp has as much of the stuff as commercial cannabis does. But hemp doesn’t attract mind boggling valuations on the public markets. On the TSX, 20k sq ft of licensed cannabis in a greenhouse in…

Trackloop (TOOL.C): Real business with real businesses in the logistics tracking space
To tell this story in 25 words or less would be to do it a terrible injustice, so I’ve sat on it for a bit, letting the dust settle, seeing how the market would accept it without my help. The answer to that is, meh, the market is a bit distracted right now, it’ll get…

Plus Products (PLUS.C) California edibles deal goes public as TGOD spins off US asset
When I call up a CEO and hear their pitch, I mentally rank where that pitch sits in terms of intelligence, opportunity, trustworthiness, alongside all the pitches I’ve heard before. Like a Top Gear leaderboard, it’s hard to crack that list alongside such all-time greats as CannaRoyalty (CRZ.C), iAnthus (IAN.C), and Green Organic Dutchman (TGOD.T).…

Too professional: Pure Global (PURE.V) and the companies discounted because they’re actually building businesses
Had a conversation on the phone with Stephen Pynn, VP of Corporate Devs at Pure Global (PURE.V) this week that got me thinking. Pure has had an up and down run since landing on the public markets in July of this year. It ebbs and flows like the tides, never getting really beat up, but also…
