The contents of the article are well known and true, basically meaning this isn’t anything that I haven’t read before regarding my investment with Zynerba Pharmaceuticals; However, and a big however, is that their stock price/activity doesn’t reflect a word of it. Several months ago I bought up shares with the company and watched it take a steady decline down to half of what I initially purchased them for. I have witnessed the stock attempt to climb back up precisely two times, only to be beat down and trodden on again. I know nobody asked for my opinion, but my opinion is Zynerba Pharmaceuticals business or management skills are lacking. The only other reasonable assumption I can make is that Zynerba is in it for the “benefit of mankind”, which has high moral and perhaps ethical values, but doesn’t produce any profit for the company’s investors.
In conclusion I want to apologize for my long winded criticism of Zynerba Pharmaceuticals and that I am not selling my portion yet (god knows how it eggs on me) I am an action man, for openers I don’t sell any stock for less then I originally bought it for because more times than not the price will eventually come back to where you don’t have to take a loss. When I first researched the company I thought wow what a good investment, but I highly doubt running the way the company is running right now that anybody is ever going to see any significant gains…
