CannTrust (TRST.T): If you’re buying the bounce, you’re playing a dangerous game
Cannabis investors are a different breed. They’re amped way higher on positivity, cynicism, self belief, and sorrow, prone to the sort of mania that baseball card, Cabbage Patch Kid, and tulip enthusiasts know in their plums. When cannabis investors love a stock, there’s almost no amount of negative due diligence, blown up market cap, or…

UPDATE: CannTrust (TRST.T) should lose license over illegal pot growing/shipping scandal
The precedent has been set. When Ascent Industries (ASNT.C) lost its Canadian LP licensing over product that had allegedly found its way into the grey market, the regulators at Health Canada – rightly – didn’t hold back. They investigated publicly, loudly, and ultimately de-licensed the company, running the brains trust out of town on a…

Marijuana update: Where the blood runs hard, look for the guys with swords
“There are times […] when even being right feels wrong. What do you say, for instance, about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death? If making love might be fatal and if a cool spring breeze on any summer afternoon can turn a crystal blue lake into a…

Reading between the lines: Nutritional High’s (EAT.C) misplaced weed, and 1933’s (TGIF.C) respectable loss
Back in mid-2018, when everyone was talking about how MedMen (MMEN.C) was going to be the biggest weed debut ever, one of my guys looked at their listing docs, specifically under the section relating to executive compensation. What they found was egregious; the founders had all the shareholder votes, giant compensation packages, insane retention bonuses,…

The Streisand Effect is defined by Wikipedia as, “a phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet.” At Equity.Guru, we know about the Streisand Effect.

Sometimes folks call us ‘pump and dumpers’, usually if they haven’t read our work, but we ultimately only write what we believe to be true and we have a track record of writing negative…

Fundamental hype: As US MSO’s struggle, is National Access Cannabis (META.V) building the Canadian alternative?
About eighteen months ago, National Access Cannabis (META.V) emerged as part II of the Chuck Rifici master plan of Canadian weed v2.0 domination. His v1.0 domination plan was a company called Tweed, which later became Canopy Growth Corp (WEED.T). At a current $19.5 billion market cap, I guess you’d call that one a win, but…

iAnthus (IAN.C) retools stock option plan: Pitchforks and torches lowered as shorts bail
Sunlight is the best disinfectant, or so the old saying goes, meaning it’s only when bad things are exposed that bad things are corrected. US multi-state dispensary operator iAnthus (IAN.C), it seems, is soaking up the rays today. Hadley Ford, chief executive officer of iAnthus, stated: “We have cancelled recent option grants to members of…
