I think it is a stock-promotion scam! I see absolutely no reason to care about it at all, and why would "Anonymous" post it on this board? Maybe "Anonymous" is paid by the company like all the blowhards that post to me on Twitter about the stock?

Yes!

No, I am not aware of this, and I concur with your skeptical view of the company.

Yes, this is an area where innovation is still needed

 

The valuations are high and most likely not sustainable based solely on future Canadian business, but when one factors in European and other opportunities, perhaps it's less troubling.

I think that it tells us that Canada is the global leader and that the alcohol industry is very interested in particpating in the cannabis industry growth. Cannabis products will likely slow the growth of beer and alcohol and even take share over time as they become improved (rapid onset, low dose) and available. It's a real validation of the legitimacy of our industry to see this transaction.

I am not an expert in ICOs, but I find them to be a potential landmine, especially when combined with all of the challenges facing the cannabis industry. I think that there could be a great role for blockchain in the cannabis industry and am tracking Tokken, for example. I have seen 4 companies positioning for ICOs, and I would be very careful in all cases. Lots of hype!

I am not sure, but it takes a while. Even in Colorado, there is still a black market. High taxes are one policy that can help perpetuate the market. In Canada, we are concerned that legal market products will be so restricted that the black market wll be sustained to fill a void in what consumers want.

I haven't fully researched fundanna yet, but I am very skeptical generally. It will work best with a consumer product or service in my view. I suggest doing a lot of diligence on the platform itself, whether fundanna or others. There are huge liquidity issues in my view, and one shouldn't  invest money that might be needed over the next few years. 

While cannabis stocks generally rallied in 2016, many performed very poorly. I don't have an exhaustive list, but here are a few that were among the worst: CannaSys (MJTK), FBEC International (FBEC), Greenhouse Solutions (GRSU), Hemp, Inc. (HEMP), MyDx (MYDX), Notis Global (NGBL), 
A common theme is that these companies relied too heavily on convertible notes without floors...
