lol, I believe there may be contradictory circumstances involved with mining companies resorting to the Marijuana fad currently developing on the Exchanges. One may wish to consider, if certain management were not successful in mining, will they be in Marijuana? Also, what qualifies these mining companies to becoming Marijuana companies? It may appear to some investors that if managements were unsuccessful in advancing mining or exploratrion companies, and perhaps have survived off options and trading their own stock, do they really have an interest in creating value for shareholders in these new Marijuana ventures or are they just out to secure a selfish life style with no intention of advancing the actual business?

We see much of this on the Venture and the big board, the TSX as well, where executive compensation seems to rise well out of sync with any created value in some companies. It may appear that companies on the Venture are mostly companies just making a living off investors with their own personal liscenses and laws made up by the politicians and regulators which certify and justify the constant pillage? Its not acceptable that governments have known how the markets really work for perhaps a good century, but never secure the markets for the little guy completely, always allowing for loop holes to exist which always put the odds in favour of any perpetrator and pillager of the investor. Its just a game designed for the little guy to never win and to keep pumping money into a luxury market, via pensions, retail investing, mutual funds, etc, this needs to change. Two ways of doing that is, take all your monies out of the markets, pensions included, and force the politicians to enact and enforce the proper regulation, and spreading awarness to every person you know, of how their monies and pensions are not safe in any part of this financial system. You have seen certain instances in this world, Detroit is one, where civil servants their were expected to only receive pennies on the dollar of what their actual pensions should have been, around .16 on the dollar I believe. Not to mention Cypress, Spain and things going on in many other countries around the world at this time that jeopardize billions of the working class security and futures.
