    So to be honest I haven't looked at anything to do with Input Capital in forever. Then this article comes along and piques my interest. So after posting a link to the article I went and read the News on their website. IMO it gets worse.

    Last year they had announced no new transactions. Then the sale to Bridgewater. That fell through and now they decide "We need a real company or we are essentially going to become a shell". So they buy a cyber security company ... that is owned by Doug Emsley the current CEO of Input Capital. Described as a profitable company ... But may have negative working capital??

    Sheesh getting alittle inbred here. Feels like Input is being run for the benefit of someone other than shareholders.

        I missed seeing this. Its quite telling how things go. When Input got going it was obvious to most that it was a wreck waiting to happen. Those farmers in dire straights were looking for any lifeline and Input filled that need albeit as a loan shark. This story coming to light shows that there will be no winners in the end, just a lot of people with ruined reputations and businesses. If something looks too good to be true it probably is.

                    Simple rule in farm financing;

                    If FCC and Canadas banking monopoly wont lend to you, you need to stop.

                    And if you dont carry crop or hail insurance or decided to triple the size of your farm in one year with obscene rents, I have no sympathy.
