Haha cheers, my way of giving back to a forum that I have been lurking in for a couple months, captivated with the heated back-and-forth with people actually quoting past posts to substantiate their point/discredit others. I don't have any skin in this share but almost wish I did given how lively it gets in here!

"Well here we are folks, the eve of the matchup for the LSE Heavyweight Title. In one corner, a fierce competitor from some miserable, gruff part of the country: c2645sg. A truly experienced fighter who has yet to come across a competitor he's not willing to short. Detractors claim he is all talk, no action, but he'll be the first to tell you he is nearly always right. A truly impressive W/L record with a very strong chin to take the near-constant digs at his speculated neurodivergence and subjective reality.

In the other corner, we have HereKittyKitty. Giving off serious b*tchy LGBT vibes and an over-reliance on emoji's, this pundit is lead to speculate they are an overseas fighter perhaps not brought up in an English-speaking country. They give back as good as c2645sg dishes it out, always the first to remind c2645sg he is only human. Is HereKittyKitty a worthy opponent for the veteran fighter c2645sg? Or will they too crumble and close their position once the bell rings at 08:00 tomorrow, just like previous opponents of c2645sg have done?

In c2645sg's corner (yes, he does have the odd ally) is AML_SAVE-A-BRAND. The Robin to his Batman, to be sure, but quite capable of combing through the archives to find historical content and undermine his pal's adversaries. In HereKittyKitty's corner, we have AML_007, known simply to his family and friends as "Paul." Where HereKittyKitty falls, Paul is there to pick them back up again. Equally as skilled as navigating the archives as AML_SAVE-A-BRAND is, AML_007 too can claim to provide ample evidence of times c2645sg has fallen short of his lofty claims that were meant to scare off potential opponents.

I tried approaching c2645sg for comment, but was simply told "if you get too close to him, he will start shorting you." I then approached HereKittyKitty for comment, but was met with a string of undecipherable emoji's I am yet to make sense of.

Clearly, this is sure to be the fight of the century. Fully sanctioned by Aston Martin Lagonda Boxing Federation, this fight is one you simply cannot afford to miss. Who will emerge victorious? Will there be calls for a rematch from the loser? What are the odds of Humble Pie being served? Or will we simply have more pie thrown in the faces of anyone caught in the crossfire? One thing's for sure, come 08:00 29/10, tune in to LSE TV."

Seaviews,

Another long term holder! Glad to see/hear you. I am one also, having bought in initially when it was called Blavod Wine & Spirits and topped up a few times over the last 12-odd years.

Do you think Dr Cooley is here for the long term also? Seems both him and Grain are here just for Ardgowan. Surely Grain gmbh would have made an offer for Distil back when shares were 0.05p if he was serious about buying Distil…

Still too risky for me to top up at 0.22, never mind 0.26 now. No news on how the US sales are getting on. No news on whether a cash raise is still needed or not. No news on how the new distributor is getting on. No news on Ardgowan foot traffic/activity. Too many unknowns, feel we're not at all out of the woods yet. Just my thoughts.

Aye, seriously though I do wonder to what extent the MM’s are aware/notice patterns like that. Can’t believe their own liquidity was threatened by 1 mill-odd shares being bought…

That £395 0.09 buy was me. Does that make me a market maker?

Hotchamber (and others),

I've been lurking here for about a year now since first investing in CEL. All in, I've spent about a week's salary on this stock over three transactions combined, average price paid 36p.

I don't know to what extent the company is generally poorly run beyond the fact shareholder communication is a joke, and another user once posted here they cancelled his tour at the last minute for very vague reasons.

The investment case for CEL seems to be that they had the first Home Office licence to grow and sell and that their crops look very, very high quality. I have no doubts regarding "the sciencey" aspects of the business, it's the economic management (cash burn and big salaries, the finance director walking etc.) that worry me. Also, what was that cryptic LinkedIn post from Short about visiting the NYSE about? Misguided at best...Was this his plan all along? Milk the AIM for all they can get, before de-listing and then growing privately before listing on the NYSE? What's the timeframe for this? 5 years?

The company is at the mercy of governments' attitudes to the drug and how open they are to incorporate it in their medicines. No one is going to pay Celadon to grow/make them medicines if the country they operate in still won't allow THC as medicine. As that pr**k in The Big Short film said to Bale's character: being early and being wrong are the same thing ("it's the same thing, Mike!"). I just worry CEL was floated a few years' too early and that there are still too many regulatory hurdles to clear, as evidenced by the difficulty on drawing down on the pre-agreed credit facilities due to the subject matter (or is it that the financiers know something we don't and won't lend to something they know is about to die?)

Bit of a rambling post, apologies, but it seems to me the product is good and will generate good revenue in time, but the downside is the world probably isn't ready just yet and the company seems like a bunch of scientists are cosplaying as executives of a listed company. I think it will get the funding, continue to burn cash like no tomorrow and perhaps, just maybe, it might land a whopper of a contract.

Anymore news on the second batch of growhouses being fitted out? I seem to recall the structures were built, just needed to install the plant (pardon the pun).

Hi all, it is my understanding that Dr Cooley is interested and invested in Distil for the carbon-negative aspects of the Ardgowan distillery being constructed that Distil is part-funding. I could be wrong but it chimes in with his life story.
