A cannabis company that has come roaring on to the scene. They were probably a little slower coming out of the gate than what you saw from a few of the others. This one is proposing a greenhouse project at the Edmonton International Airport, which is being billed as the world’s largest indoor cannabis grow when finished. They have about $150 million on their balance sheet now, that will be used to fund projects. Looking at valuation versus their licensed sales capacity, they are certainly ahead of the others from a valuation standpoint. As long as they continue to execute, it is probably going to be good, however the CEO tends to be a little on the promotional side.
