Ascent Industries (ASNT.C) lands on the CSE Thursday: You’ll want to dig in on this
A few years back, when Health Canada wasn’t really handing out cannabis grow or sales licenses, I attended a meeting in a crappy chain restaurant by the highway in North Richmond. That meeting was packed. It was a collection of MMAR growers, folks who owned unused warehouses, rampant weed activists, accountants who were ready for…

Pity the 346 investors who saw former Goldman Sachs (GS:NYSE) macro trader Michael Novogratz launching his ‘crypto merchant bank’ Galaxy Digital Holdings (GLXY.V) in November of last year and couldn’t wait to get into his pre-TSX listing $304m financing announced in January.

iAnthus Capital (IAN.C) bucks the downward weed trends with US dispensary plans
I missed it. Y’all can point and laugh, but when folks said to me a year ago, “Hey, what about iAnthus Capital?” (IAN.C), I shrugged and said, “I can’t keep an eye on everyone,” and went back to my toys because it was small and US focused and meh. iAnthus, to me, back then, was…

International Frontier Resources (IFR.V) slammed after drill hits sinkhole, but the climb back has begun
A 50% drop in stock value is a tough day for any resource company executive, but when that executive owns more stock in that company than anyone else, it’s a particularly forceful boot to the nards. Steve Hanson, President and CEO at International Frontier Resources (IFR.V), had been doing the work, drilling out a Mexican…

You can’t buy stock in it on the markets yet but the growing Sasha Jacob/Khurram Malik-steered cannabis play Biome Grow (soon to be RTOed into OAA.C) is adding to its roster with a name that announces some fairly serious intentions, according to news dropped Monday.

HIVE Blockchain (HIVE.V) posts financials, continues to drift
The crypto gurus at HIVE Blockchain (HIVE.V) posted financials for Q4 2018 today, and the documents make for interesting reading. While the big spotlight shines on revenues ($13m) and margin ($10m) for their mega crypto mining operations, and increases in mining efficiency, the organization’s annual net loss of $26m (of which $17.7m from with the…

Green Organic Dutchman (TGOD.T) ex-CEO recovering, likely to return
Suffice to say, reports of Rob Anderson’s plan to slip away to Panama on a cigarette boat with a keel full of hundy’s and a trailing mist of martini mist and cocaine dust are greatly overstated. The Green Organic Dutchman (TGOD.T) put out a note yesterday that CEO Rob Anderson had stepped down unexpectedly due…

You people don’t get CUV Ventures (CUV.V); maybe it’s time you got CUV Ventures
When you’re looking to tell the story of a public company in a way that will resonate with an audience, with a succinct, tagline-sized parable, finding the words ‘multidimensional’ and ‘multidivisional’ in the first few lines of their website will give a writer reason to reach for the coffee.
