Now a [more 'investable'] "levered equity stub" after closing $24m equity fin'g @ $.13/sh, repaying almost all punative/vigilante debt, w/ highly manageable maturities, breakeven+, and runway to reveal earnings power.
B/S is truly (and finally) significantly strengthened imo, w/ latest raise quite likely the last.
Mkt cap ~$50m & EV ~$175m, 71m warrants @.07/sh ($5m infusion), & 181m warrants @.16/sh ($30m infusion) would heal B/S even more, and could result in reflexive price recovery.
Interesting Friday filing on
MMCAP took 41% of the recent $0.13/unit 1-share/1-warrant bot deal (75m of 181m units/shares).
But, the filing disclosed only 75m warrants, and no associated shares (only legacy shares), potentially implying short sales before/after bot deal.
The bot deal raised $23.5m, of which MMCAP took ~$9.75m, & proceeds were used to pay down almost all punitive convertible debt, including a portion of MMCAP's original $15m debenture (Sept 2021 mat) down to $7m (effectively paying themselves(!) / a conversion price reset(!)
But, the above signals an interesting, potential shift in MMCAP's (and others') interest in and economic alignment with commons, in my view: they now stand to potentially make more money being long vs. short/neutral.
With MMCap's 75m $.16 strike warrants (181m total), there is now, in my view, a tangible incentive to exercise those warrants above $.16, infusing w/ $29m, repaying all remaining (minimal) convertible debt (and more), resulting in a "healed" balance sheet and ~$225m EV.
(...and lastly), the other side of that coin / the risk to my view is that MMCap's intention is not to be long, and simply intend to monetize their 75m warrants when they trade (but that's 41% of the warrant class to unload)... ultimately opperformance will be what matters.

In 2019, I suffered a humiliating public and costly investment loss at the hands of cannabis "shitco" I got behind.
My peak-to-trough portfolio loss in just 15 months was -73%.
Prior to that, my 6.5yr CAGR was 33%.
I could have given up.
But I didn't...
My 2019 loss was the most challenging experience of not only my investing career but of my entire life.
I lost 73% of my capital in 15 months – capital I had compounded at a high rate for 7 years, in a prudent, disciplined manner, that brought many inward and outward emoluments.
I had two choices: give up, or keep going. I don't know how I did it, but chose the latter.
Luckily, thanks to my network of brilliant investing peers and experience, I had other assets in my portfolio, namely $XPEL and $CPH.to, that have brought my capital back from the depths.
I would like to disabuse everyone, including the media, of the notion that drug/opioid toxicity deaths and COVID-19 explain all of the increase in total deaths in 🇨🇦. They do not.
A brief 🧵, with just the raw numbers, in an easily digestible format. Please share widely.
Note: for simplicity, the figures I present in the tweets below are for three provinces only, combined: Ontario, Alberta and BC. They have the country's largest drug epidemics with the highest absolute drug death counts:
Unfortunately, Statistics Canada can no longer be trusted.
After at least 5 months of published estimates showing growing excess all-cause mortality in New Brunswick 🇨🇦, in their August update @StatCan_eng has revised NB deaths down to the baseline.
Colour me skeptical.
The excess deaths in New Brunswick 🇨🇦 first garnered the attention of national media in June 2022... cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…
...I created this thread to call attention to the data...
This Alberta 🇨🇦 study vilifying unvaccinated people made the rounds yesterday.
But it does not address some serious flaws in the way vax/unvax data is collected. I will ask @drseanbagshaw to address them here in this short 🧵. Please read and share. cc:@AlexBerenson
#1. Does not indicate whether unvaccinated patients include those patients that received their 1st dose <13 days prior to admission.
We know from Alberta statistics (no longer available) that a striking # of admits (and deaths) occur shortly after 1st dose.👇🏼
We know this from great work done by @AlexBerenson, who noticed the above data was scrubbed from the Alberta Covid site in Jan 2022. The images in the above tweet are from Alex's substack article (below), which I encourage @drseanbagshaw to read carefully. alexberenson.substack.com/p/the-governme…
In response to Dr. Moore's sensible risk/reward vaccine guidance, @KateHanneman of the Cardiology community is PUSHING BACK, and downplaying the risk of Myocarditis!
They are WRONG, they have been WRONG, and now they know they are wrong!
The above article from @RichardCityNews needs to be retracted! He is citing 204 cases of Myocarditis of the 775 total cases of Myo or Pericarditis heart damage, IGNORING ALL 572 other cases of heart damage deemed peri or myo/peri, therefore citing a false 1 in 61,000 (all ages)!
@RichardCityNews this is terrible journalism! Correct it at once!
33,183 total deaths (all ages)
+17% vs. '17-'19 Q1 average
+10% vs. Q1/'21
WHY IS ONTARIO EXPERIENCING RECORD HIGH MORTALITY IN 2022 AMID WEAKER VARIANTS & 50+ AGES 95% FULLY-VAXED & 81% BOOSTED?
Note: the "Non C-19 Excess" in the above chart refers simply to the total number of deaths above the 2017-2019 average that are not explained by Covid-19 death counts.
Also Note: Opioid deaths are only a small portion of the "Non C-19 Excess". For example, in Q4/21 and Q1/22 there were 2,256 and 2,177 "Non C-19 Excess" deaths, respectively, while Opioid deaths averaged ~705 per in 2021 (360 per quarter in '17-'19).
