The thesis, from the filings

GREENLITE VENTURES INC earns about -19137% on equity, but has diluted owners by 57% over 5 years — worth asking whether the growth reaches owners. The cash-flow models don't apply cleanly here — the ledger says why below.Whether it’s worth owning at today’s price is the last question — and yours to answer, below.
