Aphria Inc (fka APHA)

[TheMonolith]

You still believe there is going to be damage done from their US investments? I do not, but am waiting before re-investing more. I still have my core at a great average price.

[MADDSTACKER]

Impressed with Vic yes with his greed no , takes one blink of eye and us can seize 50 m in assets from APHRIA .....

Should stayed in Canada and been lowest producer and ready to pounce on America ... :(

[MADDSTACKER]

Better hope not , I love APHRIA but let's be real if TSX let's them break law CEO of tweeed will sue shit out TSX ...

[TheMonolith]

Interesting post Falcon. Hope it is genuine. I am very impressed with Vic and why I have singled out this play in the space. Lowest cost producer, transparent, right player in right country to meet global demand, great strategy, CEO has previous success.

Another unrelated stock you might glance at is Covalon Technologies. I'm hoping to increase my weighting in Aprhia after a hopeful continued run in it.

[otclife]

this is NOT delisting guys.... recreational pot in 2018. BUY for god sakes lol

[MrRhino]

I just want to say thanks for your kind words. I'm a single dad just trying to do my best with about $45,000 in the market on four stocks.... No diversification whatsoever, but I know this company is a winner. I know this Market is a winner. I used to as a boy when I read about it around 1975 and said one day that's going to be a huge business... After all what was happening back then was billions of dollars was being generated in a totally illegal Market.. Then I went to Amsterdam as an adult and saw how it was sold in coffee houses and financed and benefited the people and government. So now it comes to where I'm looking at the medical side of it I've been sober for 28 years so smoking it has no appeal to me nor will I think I will ever use it for any application... But others will I believe it will help and cure people. I believe there's some money to be made for my family.

[Pinstriped Falcon]

Mr. Rhino,

Not that it matters much, but I've been in senior management for 25 years come this November. I have been and currently am the chief executive for the last 10. I celebrated my 10th year this past June 10th. I never give more personal details than I should and I tell you that to say this.......it's my job to pick the winners from the losers.

After so much time passes doing the same thing, a person actually gets quite good at such a task. Or they don't. In which case they rarely advance.

I was very hesitant to get in the cannabis market. Of all the stocks that I have ever owned, these are easily my riskiest ventures. But I also know an opportunity when I see it. This market is going to be one of those opportunities that so many people will look back at and kick themselves for waiting to get in. You have to have astute foresight. That separates the talented from those that aren't.

When my financial advisor came across this stock we ran the numbers. We did our due diligence and found that Aphria was/is amazing. I'm not a cheerleader for any one stock. This company will make money hand over fist regardless of whether anyone on this board or any other buys in.

But Aphria is a winner. So from one investor to another please allow me to say you made one mistake but it will turn out well for you.

You bought in at 5.84 because you got caught up in the euphoria of the market in April and you bought at its high momentum swing. That was your mistake. Many more will make that mistake before all is said and done. But you will easily surpass that 5.84 because you bought a great stock.

And one more step further, I think you are wise not to own too many stocks and to reinforce the ones you really believe in. You will do well.

[CES2002]

A delisting would have been devastating, stock would have been in mid-threes on initial reaction. The whole sector is weak now and we are still 11 months from rec. so I don't see any urgency to buy right now. Don't over look the fact that the mkt caps are based upon rec happening so the stocks are not cheap but I love their prospects for next year and beyond.

[Pinstriped Falcon]

My definition is that in the first hour it was down .30 cents. to me, yes that is tanking hard. Considering that Canopy had not had a drop like in such a short amount of time in quite some time and it had no reason to drop that significantly, that, once again, is tanking. Especially considering it is a stock less than $7 US, a 5% drop in stock price in less than an hour. As a shareholder of Canopy for longer than I have been of Aphria, I can honestly say that 5% drops in less than an hour hasn't happened for me very much.

It did rebound a little.

Bigger picture is that it was extremely positive news for Aphria. We couldn't have asked for better. I am definitely confused as to why shareholders haven't focused on that.

And if the TSX implodes, as the other poster implied, wouldn't that be bad for the other markets? Maybe that was sarcasm and it flew past me.

This is a genuine question...
If we sell on fantastic news, what do we do on bad news?

Better yet, what would've been the response had the advisory board came out and said they were punishing Aphria and were delisting them? What would have been the reaction then?

And finally, what kind of news in regards to resolution of this issue has to come out for shareholders to say to themselves that they're buying in/back in?

[CES2002]

how would you define 'tanking hard', this mornings action certainly isn't that.

[rjunior79]

TSX may be on the verge of collapse...
I hate to have bailed but I am just observing at this point

[Pinstriped Falcon]

I agree that with you on Vic. Always believed he was a brilliant man with great business acumen.

As far as resolution, that's finished as of 8:16 this morning. The TMX has already ruled in favor of Aphria. That news, I would think, needs to be stickied at the top.

The only adverse effect that I'm having is that I own shares in Canopy as well and it's tanking hard this morning, while Aphria is holding ground. As I said last night, Bruce is going to be angry because he is now behind in the U.S. market.

[TheMonolith]

I trust Vic handled this situation well. There is some uncertainty, but I think it will end without damage to Aphria. I lightened my position on the news like many, but still have some. Looking for final resolution.

"Today is a significant day for Canadian licensed medical marijuana producers focused on the United States market.

Earlier this morning, the TMX group reported that there would not be a ban on the clearing of securities of issuers with marijuana-related activities in the U.S.

One of the biggest beneficiaries of this announcement is Aphria Inc. (APH.TO) (APHQF)."

Not that it needs further clarification.

[Pinstriped Falcon]

News this morning

Aphria responds to TMX decision

"We are pleased to receive confirmation from the TMX group that there is no CDS ban on the clearing of securites with issuers with marijuana-related activities in the U.S. and we look forward to continue our ongoing dialogue with the TSX and CDS in respect of this matter."

Now it's clear cut.

[CES2002]

Let's see how the market interprets the news. It isn't as clearcut to me as it is to you. Personally, I am locked and loaded once a decision is made.

[MADDSTACKER]

Agreed :) GLTU ..

[Pinstriped Falcon]

I respect that. Each person to their on. But when I read an article like this, there is no maybe to me.

All of this news is a good sign for Aphria.

[MADDSTACKER]

I sold all , I'm waiting for they make a decision ! If they say it cool I will buy back I love APHRIA. But can't risk 50 k on a maybe !!

[Pinstriped Falcon]

Been an investor for a while and I lurk these boards frequently. Upon the news of the potential de-listing 3 weeks ago I sold half my stake in Aphria. Biggest mistake I had made this year. I wish I had never done it. I'm not one to ever panick, but I thought the price would drop hard. It didn't.

This link confirms to me why I bought back into Aphria. Fantastic news. Essentially the TSX isn't going to do anything except re-word some rules. They knew in March that Aphria had a stake in Copperstate Farms in Arizona dating back to October 2016 and were about to close a deal earlier this year in Florida and they still stamped their approval.

The TSX and TMX can't go backwards now. There will be egg all over their faces. If I as an investor knew before Aphria's listing to TSX that they were in the US, I'm sure they did. Hence, Vic keeping everything above board.

This is a classic maneuver by the TSX to save some face. Linton is going to be angry. But everyone knew what Aphria was doing. If for some reason the TSX decides to de-list Aprhia they will have alot of explaining to do. Not to mention that Aphria didn't actually break the rules.....hence the listing to the TSX while having US holdings.

The reason they've been dragging their feet since March is because they're not going to do anything. Seen this stuff before.

This article confirms it. Fantastic news.

Thanks for the helpful technical data.
One can easily see Aphria constructively re-building it's momentum and strength as you point out.

I am of the opinion that Aphria is a international giant in the making and destined to be a huge and major holding, along with Canopy General and Aurora Cannabis, in cannabis focused ETF's and institutional funds. And they are volume buyers and holders.

[rjunior79]

Aphria is a stock to watch here is why: We have multiple patterns in play. #1 Short term it drew a failing wedge which I think it will break today. #2 Mid term we have a 29% symmetrical triangle (if #1 break, it breaks out of #2) #3 We have a cup handle play (#2 & #1) If we break to the upside my target price is between 7.30 and 7.60 All indicators look week at this point, but note that it bounced off the 50 and 200 SMA. The indicators will be better once it start going up.

[farviewhill]

APHRIA is an international powerhouse in the making.
Incredible days are ahead for those paying attention and doing their homework.

[CES2002]

Medical Marijuana picking up steam in Florida, I am hoping for quick resolution of the TSX issue so the company can continue to expand there and in the US.

[bontooth]

yeah one feels that.
I think I am going go all-in on Mcig other than
Aphria.

[farviewhill]

I am a buyer today.

[rjunior79]

Aphria expanded into 2 MEDICAL US MJ businesses
1) 25 million Canadian dollars to purchase of a licensed CBD business in Florida - Liberty.
Aphria owns 37.6% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Liberty.
Aprhia is now positioned to participate in the state’s new, full-strength medical marijuana program

2) A small $3 million Canadian dollars for a 5% stake of Copperstate Farms:
A 40-Acre Arizona Medical Cannabis Greenhouse Copperstate Farms

I am not surprised Bruce Linton left the MEDICAL portion out of his interview with BNN to repeat the "Illegal" word numerous times. Do you think he is biased?

Trump said he will leave Medical alone. And Session appear to only be looking into "regulating" the recreational market. Sessions has not written up any tough letters like he did to the doctors prescribing opioids:

Sessions: "If you are a doctor illegally prescribing opioids for profit or a pharmacist letting these pills walk out the door… we are coming after you,"

Take your own stance here, but I am sitting TIGHT!

GLTA!

[CES2002]

Bruce Linton talking about investing in the US and you know which company he is referring to

Canadians are hesitant due to exchange "uncertainty", but this will pop once resolved

[farviewhill]

A huge and major event.
I sure hope investors are paying attention to the incredible future revenue and earnings impact for Aphria.

[CES2002]

weakness is good, you can't make $$$ buying at the top

[bontooth]

good luck to ya, post # 986
tell us . . . 'what you really think. ok?'

[rjunior79]

Partnership to expand production worldwide, incl Europe, Israel and Latin America.
HUGE joint relationships with Nuuvera!

[rjunior79]

It looks as though Sessions wants to regulate-not-crack-down. He cited regulations for inter state sales, driving under influence rules, under age district & consumption and a few other rules to 4 of the 9 states currently selling recreational. So not all.

Colorado’s Hickenlooper did meet recently with Sessions and told reporters he didn’t think a crackdown was in the works, partly because Sessions has too many other government balls to juggle.

The letters suggest a willingness to work with the states, he said in a statement to The Times, “but there is still a need for congressional action to provide clarity for officials at the local, state and federal levels.”

Sessions asked Inslee (Washington Governor) to outline steps his state is taking “to combat diversion of marijuana, to protect public health and safety, and to prevent marijuana use by minors.”

“The letters did appear to be a bit off base, and in several instances referred to the way things were but are no longer. But more importantly, the letters did not tell the states they lack the authority to sell marijuana,” he said.

[bontooth]

hey Wow those PR's of our Company Aphria, and their (newsletters Tell us the shorts are gonna take 3 maybe 4 more trading days) to pull us down a little more ? Should make for great entry points . . imo.

[farviewhill]

APHRIA continues to show buying strength in strong technical picture.
As I've suggested earlier posts, it sure is a BUY at these levels. 2018 will see a massive breakout in stocks like Aphria, General Canopy and Aurora Cannabis, etc., imo.
Smart investors are adding all to their portfolios.

[rjunior79]

Precisely

[farviewhill]

Why pay more in the days to come?'
Aphria's on sale these days.
$5.00+ soon, imo.
APHRIA's moves into Florida are very exciting.

It's noise. The CDS hadn't even formally discussed this issue. It's heresay and opinions.

BUT this is BIG:

"Federal task force reportedly recommends more marijuana study, no crackdown"

that is great but it doesn't solve the issue regarding cross-border ownership, does it?
