Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Just watch the video again.
“This is an opportunity to build one of the largest brands in the World, that’s why I’m here”
That’s why Viridian are here, and that’s how long we have them for.
Simples.
Chill.
Vas, are you that stupid you count everything red as a sell and everything blue as a buy?
WOW! Back to school for the night porter.
I know a number of people who are only with HL who managed to get to the AGM, so I am not sure why you had such a tough time with it...
Many changes are coming and if one reads the last couple of RNS's you will see what they are and it shouldn't be too difficult to see that it is unlikely these issues will occur again, once this formality is over.
So this formality (which is all it is) can be out of the way, and to let the company move forwards, once again I will be voting yes to all the resolutions.
I have many million reasons to want to ensure a smooth process, so the management can get on with progressing the company, launching the new products, and rolling them out to more stores, alongside the existing items already for sale.
Maybe the Viridian sourced new director(s) will be there by the GM, maybe they won't. But they will be by the time you need to go through this process again, and the company will be circa 10 months further into the rollouts and be a completely different animal at that point in time...
Just Chill
As predicted with the onboarding of Rhino Marketing and Viridian Capital Advisors the US OTCQX market for Chill (Still ticker ZOEIF) is picking up.
With an average daily volume of just 8,000 odd traded, this week has seen multiple 100,000+ days traded now.
Today there has already been 173,178 traded over in the good old U S of A.
The last reported trade as I type was 114,981 at 31.56c (or 23.15p equivalent)
Was the 115,000 buy in the UK to provide for that? Who knows...
But the OTC is simply an exchange in which to buy and sell shares, which all come from the same pot.
I predicted a migration of shares from the UK to the USA and it seems that migration has already started, and currently we still can't see anything visibly that Viridian or Rhino have "put out there"
I wonder what will happen when they do?
There is a process to change which is ongoing…
Sometimes there are simple reasons for not being able to click your fingers and change something…
Whilst is it obvious to everyone we are a CPG company now, there remains process and procedure in order to change it.
It has nothing to do with the company being professional or not and it will change, once all the boxes are ticked..
And check linked in Tessa Holcomb and you will see it is most definitely not for sale:
“ Thrilled to announce the sale of Chill.com now poised to support the growth of a global brand who believes that, "Taking time to chill through the stresses of life makes communities that are strong, healthy and creative." Not only a fun name to work on but great people to work with on all sides. #domains #domainnames #branding #marketing #vision #growth”
So how about disclosed stuff from 2021 then….
Dot com boom indeed.
Chill …..
DNJournal tracks the year’s biggest domain sales, and it reports that five domain names have sold for over $1 million already this year.
***** There are actually many more seven-figure domain name sales but most of them are subject to non-disclosure agreements and never come to light. *****
Here are the top sales so far in 2021.
1. Christmas.com $3,150,000
Christmas is year-round for some companies. One of those companies is Gordon Companies in New York. The company imports, wholesales, and retails Christmas merchandise such as ornaments, lights, and wreaths. It acquired this domain under a four-year payment plan, but paid it off early.
2. Angel.com $2,000,000
Angel Studios is a crowdsourced filmmaking site. It recently raised $5 million for an animated TV series called The Wingfeather Saga and $1 million for a TV series called Freelancers. Oh, and it crowdfunded a $5 million round of funding for its own company, which gave it the wherewithal to spend $2 million on a domain!
3. Exodus.com $1,945,000
Cryptocurrency investors are awash in cash despite a recent pullback. These investors have acquired lots of domains, including Exodus.com, which is a bitcoin and crypto wallet.
4. Meme.com $1,250,000
Visit meme.com and you’ll see some of your favorite memes, such as Grumpy Cat and the “distracted boyfriend” image. The site doesn’t seem like a great use of a $1.25 million domain, which makes me think the buyer has a lot more planned. It might have something to do with meme stocks and crypto; one of the memes on the site is Dogecoin.
13.62% and there has been no TR1 to date to change that.
Therefore he is currently holding somewhere between 13-14%
Zoetic website is TryZoetic (no space as per heading)
Chill website is TryChill
In the meantime the write up should provide some clues as to the companies direction :-)
Distribution / Availability of products:
Multiple Product Lines - With Distribution Deals contracted to take Chill to 10,000 AATAC stores, ultimate target is 88k full network.
Timeline - Confirmed at the AGM - 10k AATAC stores is still the target, all distributors still on board.
Smoker Friendly - The number 1 smoke shop chain in the USA stock Chill (separate to the AATAC Deal circa 850 stores) and the chain is expanding.
AATAC Member stores include 7-eleven, Chevron, Shell, Circle K, (the list goes on) 88,000 stores including those large chains with 3-4-5-6-7-8k stores alone.
The rollout will not be linear - i.e part of the reason SP dropped, you won't see 500 a month every month rolled out to get to that 10,000.
The rollout will not be linear - i.e. part of the reason the SP will jump when get a non linear (i.e big increase) which moves towards that 10,000 count in a shorter space of time.....
Products (In Chill line)
Smokes:
Hemp (with THC - hence not being on sale in the UK)
CBD Isolate Mint & Calm/Hush in UK (no THC hence being on sale in UK online at the moment)
Chew Pouches:
A product used to combat oral tobacco use big in the USA hence use of Rodeo etc to promote in USA.
Vanilla, Mint, Peach flavours.
Gummies: - Popular in UK and launching in the USA
New Product Line:
Non-Tobacco based nicotine pouch, stated to be on sale Q4 Cal year 2021 (aka any day from now) both online and in stores.
If this gets added to existing distribution deals you have a brand adding SKU's to thousands of stores.
Unlike CBD products this tobacco cessation product does not have the barriers to entry which CBD does.
Issues to date:
A bad original finance deal - replaced with an oversubscribed placing at 60p.
BOD not experienced in running a listed company, IR and some other decisions suffered, took a back seat as a result (hence SP drop)
Major recent positives:
Rhino Marketing are signed up to promote the Chill Brand - Look at their BOD & Advisory BOD
Viridian Capital Advisors signed up to assist in those items previously lacking and to headhunt BOD positions. - Look at their BOD & Advisory BOD
What you have is:
A company with a cool brand, great products, in one of the biggest growing CPG markets ever, and it owns the chill dot com web domain.
Multi $10bn markets already exist for tobacco cessation products. CBD products are becoming more and more popular.
Marketing and strategic corporate advisors who read as a who's who in the global CPG corporate and marketing space.
A share price which had been hit by short attacks, and people who didn't understand the CPG business making a lot of noise about things they don't understand as negatives.
The people onboarded recently can pick and chose who they work with, they have chosen to work with Chill Brands.
Watch the shares migrate to the USA as IR and PR goes up significantly with reputable sources quoting Chill, and the market waking up.
"We need Sales very soon. Over ÂŁ1m in stock and barely ÂŁ300k sales - that sounds like a write-off waiting to happen. If not, why not emphasise the investment in stock to meet expected (by now should have been actual) orders?"
Could the stupidity level get any higher?
You do realise this reflects a period of time which is 18 months ago to 6 months ago, and not anything current?!!!!
There were $2m of sales to the distributors in Q1 (between April 2021 -, June 2021)
"We are pleased that the audited accounts are now finalised and look forward to presenting our vision for the future at the upcoming AGM......"
tick tock.
The oils are under the Zoetic Brand and have won awards, been in GQ magazine etc etc
BB2 - it is an algorithm on a website which looks for certain keywords and then associates them with the amount of posts that have been made by that user.
Because VAS responded to just about every post asking the same question over and over and over again regardless of the answer, it has incorrectly highlighted him as top ramper.
However, the fact he has appeared at the top of the list is an easy way to identify just how busy he was trolling the share with endless posts of drivel, as it also complies the number of posts made by a given user etc......
Billy are you trying to imply the 20% - 30% retail pricing deals offered to retail customers directly from our own websites impacts the ~30% GP being referenced to in the RNS’s with regards to business to business distribution deals….?
Again Vas you are stating when did they achieve 50% and making something of that…..
The point is simply:
They achieved 30% GP and “the board expects these to grow with in-line with manufacturing volumes”
Now all you want to do is highlight the past, and what is done now….
The company has distribution deals for 10,000 initial stores.
It is therefore inevitable that manufacturing volumes would increase to support that, economies of scale will be introduced as they achieve that, and therefore as the BOD expect to get to 10,000 initial stores, they would also expect those margins to be bigger accordingly……
Look forward not to the past.
50%+ was communicated. It was communicated in investor presentations given in the past, I’m sure it’s been mentioned in interviews in the past before also.
I’m not going to listen to them all again and then pinpoint precisely which one it was in, and the time it’s at because:
A) GP’s were ~30%
B) They expect them to increase with increases in production.
C) In 3,000-4,000,5,000 -> 10,000 initial stores there will be that increased production…
D) GP’s will trend higher with those economies of scale.
It’s not difficult to grasp (but doesn’t suit your agenda to acknowledge)
And moving back towards the 50% margins previously communicated is also likely....
"The Board expects these to grow in-line with manufacturing volumes."
Again - Try to start valuing the company on where it is going, not where it has been....
And that is why there are still 453 people in the room. Honestly. People are welcome to join and find out, aside from BB2 and VAS who's agenda's are very clear to see.....
And your ID in the Telegram group is? (not so we can throw you out, but why not just pop up in Telegram and say who you are and back up your claim there.........)
Vas. "Name me two examples of information that I have posted that was wrong."
1) You are a shareholder.
2) You pretend to be genuine yet exhibit all of the properties of a share board disrupter as detailed in your own post on the other forum, and yet claim not to be one.
funny how they reported and removed the post where on another board Vascular states what a disruptive person does, how they are disruptive, and how they ruin the board, and then basically he carries out the exact same practice on this board as he described in his post....
I suppose this one will get removed as well. But meh.
