1/ $BGXX aims to be the premier federally-authorized provider of cannabis, cannabis-related products, and other legal medicinal plant-based therapies. It went public through a direct listing with 157mm shares issued and 200mm authorized. There is no lock-up for insider selling
2/ The company reported a net loss for the 9 months ended September 30 2021 of $1.57mm and $3mm with no revenue. They list two officers, the CEO, and CFO with no full-time employees. None of the board members seem to have any prior experience in the cannabis industry.
3/ Terry Rafih, the chairman spent his career running car dealerships in Canada: linkedin.com/in/terry-rafih…. He seems to have been onboarded after the company acquired Naseeb Inc. in November 2020 which he and Douglas Bates, the former CFO of $BGXX controlled opencorporates.com/companies/us_n…
4/ Bates resigned as CFO in March 2021. The new CFO, Elmasri Saleem was also CFO at Blockchain of Things Inc.(BCOT) which was charged by the SEC for an unregistered initial coin offering of digital tokens. BCOT returned $13mm in investors' funds and paid 250k in fines
5/ $BGXX is undergoing 2 lawsuits. Former CEO, John Fikany is suing for 5mm shares he believes he is owed. A former consultant, Jerry Fikany is suing for 108k shares. All 157mm issued shares are sellable without restriction. 69% of shares are owned by directors/executives.
6/ The founder Lynn Stockwell alongside John Stockwell, have been touting grand plans for many years. In a 2017 article: tinyurl.com/yt74pwjf, John Stockwell, the CEO of Bright Green at the time planned a $160mm 150-acre greenhouse development to take 2 years and employing 250
7/ Lynn Stockwell holds 70.6mm shares and does not show any experience prior to her founding of bright Green: linkedin.com/in/lynn-stockw…. A 2015 youtube video shows Mr. Stockwell making more grandiose claims: . The company is many years behind its competitors.
8/ The MC is $1.7bn with 0 revenue, Sep'21 assets $8.7mm, and a 9-month net loss of 1.57mm. Compare this to Tilray Brands' $TLRY with a $2.27bn MC and 12-month sales through May'21 of $513mm. Canopy Growth Corp $CGC has $2.2bn MC and March'21 TTM sales of $546mm.
9/ There is a $300mm budget for the development of greenhouses which $BGXX claims will be completed in 2024 and produce 300,000 mature plants per year. Given management's history of and ability to sell freely for personal gain, we think these projections are very optimistic.
10/ It's unclear to us exactly what the float is, given the direct listing nature and share structure. The stock has been extremely volatile since its listing so approach positions with extreme caution.

1/ $RGC uses Traditional Chinese Medicine for ADHD and ASD. The company has no product/revenue and paid its IPO proceeds to the CEO's father for his "research":tinyurl.com/4pe8va8k(not peer reviewed, needless to say). 1.5M float, 460M valuation
2/ The CEO owns 80% of all shares and there are 100M shares authorized looming over the publics' head ready to extract value. The CEO's father("TCM practitioner) has "treated" Alzheimer’s disease, depression, arthritis, diabetes, SARS and COVID-19 with "promising results"
3/ The companies research and development to prove its efficacy for ADHD and ASD consisted of a study 7 patients between 3 and 12 years of age with no control and not peer reviewed in any western medical journals. The $4103 office space the company is renting is owned by the CEO
1/ $SKYX SQL technologies Corp set for trading Feb 11 is the most ridiculous IPO this year(973M value on the conversion of preferred shares). The company spent years manufacturing and selling ceiling fans and lighting fixtures under GE's brand after paying them $12M for licensing
2/ This low-margin business earned heavy net losses every year(2014:7.3M, 2015:27M, 2016:98M(yes, really:tinyurl.com/2p8d6awz), 2017:26.7M, 2018:9M+, 2019: 16.9M, 2020: 9.2M) towards an accumulated deficit of $72.2M as of September 30th 2021.
3/ Revenue is way down as well(Sep2018: 6.4M, 2019:3.8M, 2020: 0.26M) as the company has pivoted towards their "Smart Power-plug and Smart Sky Platform technologies". Essentially, this is a safety device with a male and female plug that makes installing fans/lighting etc safer
1/ $AMLX Upcoming IPO(Feb 7th) Amylyx pharmaceuticals has developed a drug(AMX0035) for the treatment of ALS. They believe it is the first to both slow decline and lengthen the life of ALS patients. We believe the drug is inert and will fail its upcoming Phase 3 Phoenix trial.
2/ The company has made the extraordinary claim that they believe data from the PHOENIX trial will not be required for the FDA to make a determination on the approval of AMX0035 for the treatment of ALS based on their discussions with the FDA.
3/ This comes despite a long history of failure in ALS drug clinical trials(ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
) and a rather weak Phase 2 clinical trial(CENTAUR). The study contained only 137 patients (48 on placebo and 87 on AMX0035).
