This company will be gigantic in the next few years. I will pick up a few thousand shares today. Hopefully it stays under $6 long enough for me to grab some.

Anyone been in this company long? Will this be huge or what?

[Skyline]

To the moon :)

Maybe even 2017. Financials are due to be posted this week according to TD webbroker. If they hit $8 million in revs for the quarter it could happen sooner than later. The only reason they posted a loss last quarter was because of a bad investment. I think it was a calculated sell of share since the last quarter was year end and they were profitable for the year. Applying that loss in Q4 minimized the taxes payable and saved some cash on hand for much needed expansion.

[Yungkuch]

Aphria is the gold standard big producer IMO. Should see fantastic returns. I like VFFIF to be the biggest winner, but it may lag behind during the first third of the race into legalization, and win the final third and post-legalization race.

[POTSTOCKMILLIONAIRE]

Watch? And miss the boat?!?!

Same thing happened last Sept. This is a run leading into at least July 1st

[Penny Masters]

Time to watch these MJ companies closer. This one has potential and could run fast when many are looking to get back in before July.

[otclife]

nice to see this heading the right direction. 2018 should be glorious!

[Billydakidd]

Choo choo !!

[otclife]

I"m in at 5.34... all good man. Aphria has insanely good margins on their product. 2018 full legalization in CA, we're good here.

[MrRhino]

I was looking forward to see some interesting posts today and a lot of time has passed since people have posted on the board it's good to see green we're not at my 5.85 US Dollars purchase price but if we keep climbing eventually we will be there

Anybody with any thoughts on Ithuf Ianthus Capital?
[e-mail] Thanks

[MrRhino]

Oh that it's just too funny back and forth back and forth and the information is great now make the stock price go up dammit.
Thanks for making me smile I also live in Virginia USA

[Pinstriped Falcon]

Impossible.

No way the TSX will allow this. No way Aphria can do business in a country where they're federally breaking the law.

No way. No way the TMX/TSX will allow this.

"We are pleased to receive confirmation from the TMX group that there is no ban...."

No way. No way the TSX will allow a company in the exchange that has dealings in the US where it's federally illegal.

"Aphria has had marijuana related activities in the US since 2015"


No way. No way would the TSX knowingly allow a company that was BREAKING FEDERAL LAW. That will just ruin the image in my head of Vic walking though an airport with a briefcase full of cash like Pablo Escobar. No way.

"which was approved by the TSX Venture Exchange prior to its closing."

"which has been reflected in its continous and timely disclosure record..."

Oh shit. Hang on a minute. *Looks for book of excuses*....*Found it*

But IT'S FEDERALLY ILLEGAL! YOU CAN'T BE A PART OF A BUSINESS THAT'S BREAKING FEDERAL LAW!

"For all US based operations, both Aphria and Liberty are operating in compliance with the official guidance from both the US Treasury Department and the US Department of Justice..."

No. NO. NO! There's ABOLUTELY "no way around it".

"through banks compliant with the federal government directives."

There's just no way. Vic F'n messed up. Just no way.

APHRIA CFO reply to delisting:

Thank you for your interest in Aphria.

Last week, the TMX Group issued a press release on this issue. We are not being delisted from the TSX Exchange.

Hope this helps. EP

I have a little time on my hands tonight and I don't know why, but I feel like responding.

What I'm about tell everyone may seem unrealistic, but it isn't. I oversee several business ventures.

And really, I'm posting this because of one thing you said Maddstacker about business and federal laws. I know you don't know me, but you're in my wheelhouse now.

"well I guess all stocks can break federal law, right?"
Well.....Yes. Many times.

I know you meant that as sarcasm but that statement actually revealed what little you know and it told me that you don't work in business. I don't mean disrespect to you, it's just a clear observation

I do business with many CEOs. Some for and some with. In May, I helped facilitate a negotiation in Louisiana with a hazardous disposal company that I personally have helped in my command. The company makes a product that is amazing. The problem is that we had an opportunity to dispose of it in a way that is financially profitable but federally illegal. But it is statewide legal in Louisiana. After conferring with the EPA two times this year, once in February and the other in May we received approval.

Federally illegal, but legal in Louisiana.

Then in June, I negotiated 3 deals with foreign firms. Two are in China and one in Canada. These deals involved private companies. Those firms do business in the US as well. China has so few regulations that we can pretty much do whatever we want. The Canadian firm however is different.

In June, another CEO and I negotiated a private company from Canada to do business in the US. Some of the things they do don't match federal code. So we negotiated an arrangement for them to do business in a state that the federal government will allow state override. What they were asking was in which state could they operate to where it would be legal. So when Aphria did this I knew exactly what they were doing.

Two weeks ago I spent 3 days in Langley, Virginia at CIA Headquarters. I was hoping to get a meeting with Chief Director Pompeo but because President Trump is a very, very needy individual, I couldn't meet with him then. I was there hoping to secure federal contracts for another business. Just to say that the federal government and it's way of doing business is absolutely no stranger to me.

In the second week of November, I will travel back to Washington to which me and a couple of others have a personal appointment with Vice President Mike Pence. Once again, I will see if I can gain federal contracts for certain companies. I spent the first 3 months of this year negotiating deal for civilian companies to outsource jobs with the Department of Defense.

I say that to say this. When, you make a comment like private companies can't break federal laws......then you don't know who just stepped in the chatroom. Be very careful about making claims you know absolutely diddly shit about.

The reason I post this is because I believe there to be very sincere investors on this board. You post articles that support one view. You have willfully ignored what is not convenient for you.

Don't you find it odd that my first post ever was in response to an article you thought was negative, but I said was positive and then 10 hours later there was a resolution in favor of Aphria? Ponder why I chose that moment to comment for the first time.

And one last thing. You said that Bruce Linton will sue. I couldn't help but have a good laugh there. I want to let you in on the world of how many of these people do business. The average Joe thinks they can just do things like "sue" because they're free to do so.

Here's how that moment will actually go down. Because I have seen this more times than I can count:

*Phone rings*

Head of the TSX: Hello?
Bruce: Hi yes, this is Bruce Linton and want to talk to you. I'm very upset and am thinking of filing a motion........blah, blah, blah.....incoherent rambling for 5 minutes.
Head of TSX-phone on shoulder: *to secretary* Hey get me the tuna mahi.
Bruce: ......and I just can't believe......another 3 and half minutes......so where do we go from here? What is our next step?
Head of the TSX: F*** off Bruce

*Dialtone*

Bruce: Uh...yes maam, uh, um...hello?

Next day in the Papers

Mr. Linton unhappy with result but accepts TSX decison.

Head of the TSX: Yes, we sat down and came to as best of an understanding as we could. Unfortunately, we cannot make everyone happy.


Next time stick to actual facts and things you know. You will do well with those things

[MADDSTACKER]

the TSX is not going allow a company in the exchange to break a us federal law ...

Private companies within a state are one thing a billion dollar company breaking laws on a national stock exchange , well I guess all stocks can now break federal law right ?


How about we wait and see ....

[Pinstriped Falcon]

Oh there's lots of ways around it.

You must not live in the US. I don't say that with derision, it's that it appears you don't understand states rights laws and federal law. You can break a federal law and and yet still be in keeping with a state law. States rights have always been a big thing.

One of the best examples is Massachusetts being the first state in 2005 to legalize same sex marriage. It was federally illegal, but it was recognized in Massachusetts and the federal government let them have that right. The federal government didn't legalize same sex marriage officially until 2014.

Texas has open carry gun laws that would get you arrested in any other states in the U.S. Federal government let them do it.

And as for it being "illegal", then why have states like Colorado, Oregon, Washington and 23 other states have laws on the books for that the federal government deems illegal. These states are breaking the law. Someone needs to stop them. Oh, wait, the government knows and let do it.

"The TSX isn't going to allow a company to break federal law"

So what is Aphria still doing there?

"The TSX isn't going to allow a company to break federal law".

So what is Aphria still doing there then?

California will be fully legal on January 1, 2018. The feds aren't stopping them.

North Carolina, one of the most conservative states in the U.S., has on its ballot for November and is voting to legalizing medical early next year. The feds aren't stopping them.

And I say this, because this is my last post today. People keep saying "illegal". Well, the TSX disagrees with you. And that's really whose voice matters most.

Go ahead and sue Bruce. You need that bag of shit.

Edit: You really believe the TSX hasn't cleared them yet? Wow.

Check Aug 21. You'll find articles dispelling that. And Aphria's response. I like you, but your obviously wrong. You are ignoring those facts or you are willfully rejecting them.

Sorry but TSX hasn't ruled yet .... APHRIA will be good either way :)

[otclife]

yep, and those margins at Aprhia..........hot dang!

[Pinstriped Falcon]

1990

Bingo. You nailed it. I sold half thinking it would drop significantly. When I quickly came to my senses about everything I posted a few moments ago, I quickly bought back in.

Sometimes a person just has to admit they made a mistake (like I did) and quit looking for ways that something will fail.

Someone on Canopy's board posted an article from Aug 18 to justify that TSX may delist Aphria. That was around 2pm Aug. 21. That means that they posted a link to something that 7 hours earlier had been resolved.

Good news maddstacker, Aphria isn't being delisted. We all win.

[MADDSTACKER]

There breaking federal law .. there's is no way around it , tweed CEO will sue shit out TSX if they allow them to stay ....imho

Un fair market simple ...

[1990]

What's the credible reason that it will delist?

[MADDSTACKER]

Point is this I sold 65 k of stock because if TSX says they need to delist , this will drop 50% .... not here bash last post if makes you happy ..... but me and 5 guys been pro company for last 6 months look board ....

[1990]

Sold "bud" love the pun :) I agree ihib doesn't change anything but I also agree that you didn't address any of my points.

[MADDSTACKER]

FYI I hub investor board is not going to change the direction of the stock the matter how much shit gets talked

[MADDSTACKER]

Lmao I sold bud Look my past post for 6 months I'm pro company

[1990]

It's not a mess it's pretty straight forward. They can divest the land if need be. And you really think with the US's debt situation they are going to use resources to shut down a land site that is currently empty land?


As for JV partners are they going to sue Aphria on the basis they they didn't hold up their end of the deal on an illegal transaction? Any JV partner knew the risks going in.

You are overanalyzing to the point of fault to get in on a lower entry...otherwise you wouldn't be here

[Pinstriped Falcon]

Monolith,

yes it's absolutely genuine. I make nothing more or less than what it is because I like to be honest up front.

And this is not for you Monolith, but the board here in it's entirety:

I really am confused on the "breaking of the law" thing that keeps getting tossed out there. Totally confusing to me. This has been perpetuated on Canopy's board as well.

For Aphria to have broken TSX regulations several possibilities would have to have happened:

1- Vic would've had to have been secretive about his expansion plans in the U.S. before the listing to the TSX in March and then disclosed them after the up listing

2- Information about Aphria's expansion would have to have been withheld from public viewing

3- The TSX would have to be complicit with Vic with misinformation about plans of U.S. expansion

4- Somebody is getting paid off to allow corruption that no one knows about, which would lead to firings of the board.

Here's what I know:

1- A simple Google search will reveal that on October 27, 2016 Aphria announced a purchase in the stake of Copperstate Farms in Arizona. That's five months before their application to be up listed to the TSX.

2- January of 2017 Aphria announces plans to close a deal with Chestnut Hill by March. Then they complete the acquisiton ofsaid plans days after being vetted and up listed by the TSX

3- The TSX confessed that the wording in the rules was ambigous and needed clarification.

4- The TSX took five months to investigate this accusation that Aphria was breaking the rules. That clearly shows even the TSX didn't believe there was a clear violation

and that leads me to the coup de gras

5- At 7:32am on the morning of August 21 the TMX and TSX cleared Aphria of any and all suspicion of wrong doing and by 8:16am it was making it's rounds in the media.


So, either the TSX is the most incompetent stock exchange on the planet that can't even do a simple Google search to find what companies they are vetting own, or Aphria broke no laws.

To imply Vic is breaking the law is to indict the TSX more than it is to indict Vic. They knew everything. They had to. That's there job. Vic made it public. He hid nothing. He broke no laws.

That's why the TSX came out 7:32am the morning of August 21 and cleared Aphria. That's why Bruce is mad. Vic beat him to the punch.

And as far as Bruce "suing the shit" out of TSX.....go ahead. I'm sure the judge will award him said shit in a nice sized paper bag. Bruce can use that to help as fertilizer. It'll help him cut a little production cost, which clearly Aphria is beating him at also.

[TheMonolith]

Thank you for the tip. I'll look into it.

[MADDSTACKER]

Not sure how other j v partners would feel about us pulling out could see long drawn out law suits .... honestly it's a f mess ....

TSX should stopped them immediately ......

I put all my holdings in emht$ no debt all in Canada huge grow room , Great CEO ....

[TheMonolith]

Wouldn't they simply divest of those assets with no penalty from the exchange? They wouldn't necessarily lose on the sale of those assets, but even if they do, it is one-time. Stock would probably have a hiccup, but the success of the company will still rely entirely on executing in Canada.

[MADDSTACKER]

Honestly yes , what are they going say we're going let you break the law ?

[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.
