Looks like (based on volume) everyone is waiting to see.
VANCOUVER, BC, July 12, 2021 /CNW/ - Village Farms International, Inc. (the "Company" or "Village Farms") (TSX: VFF) (NASDAQ: VFF) today announced that it has filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the "New Registration Statement") with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), for an unlimited amount of securities that may be offered from time to time in the future, replacing the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC in April 2020. Village Farms has become a "well-known seasoned issuer" ("WKSI") under SEC rules and is filing the New Registration Statement to take advantage of certain benefits only available to WKSIs.
The filing of the New Registration Statement will provide Village Farms flexibility to issue securities in one or more future offerings, including when needed to pursue strategic opportunities. The specific terms of any such offering will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement filed at the time of such offering(s). At this time, Village Farms does not have any immediate plans to offer securities under the New Registration Statement
This press release is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. Any offering of the securities covered under the New Registration Statement will be made solely by means of the prospectus included in the New Registration Statement and an accompanying prospectus supplement relating to that offering to be filed with the SEC.
A copy of the New Registration Statement is available on www.sec.gov and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Support at .0326 US (Which I dont think it will fall through because of the current volume) tells me to accumulate between .034 to .0326. (if it gets to or below .034)
Which is exactly what I will do. Of course all of this is JMHO.
It it falls through support, I feel comfortable enough with this company to average it down.
GLTA
Namaste will have a clear path (to either the moon or the basement) based on the next 2 Q's. I personally think they are going to shock the sector.
I nibbled on DMAN yesterday at 34 and that is proving nice.
GL
I would be totally ok with that
Took a nibble of 30,000 shares today
I dont deal in absolutes like "Always" and "Never" and "No Point"
I encourage people to do their own due diligence as your comments are misleading IMO (if you dont have a short interest)
Village is one of the only ones doing it correctly in the sector and has hedged their risk with the produce portion of the business (which prices are rising dramatically for produce) and that will be even more evident as the year unfolds. IMO
I am a buyer at these levels. Are you?
***insert a convoluted "answer" that doesn't say "yes" or "no" here***
um. ok. hmmmmmmmmmmm eeeeeeee booooooooo OK.
Are you a buyer at these levels or just looking to cover?
Well.........yep..............cool. Up and Down. Bing.......boing.
"There's no point in trying to hold on"----Silly
left----right-----oh ok.
Place a trend line and a circle here
OR
Buy low and sell high
VFF
Shaping up nicely
The wait will be worth it. IMO

Canadian meme stock
Reddit users have crossed the border in the past. Last year they successfully targeted BlackBerry stock. Now, another Canadian company has significant short interest and a meme-worthy business model.
Village Farms International (TSX:VFF)(NASDAQ:VFF) is the ideal target for a Reddit-driven short squeeze. The company’s short interest is 21% at the moment, which is just as high as AMC stock. That means one in every five shares has been bet against by professional investors.
The fact that this is a cannabis company makes it even more exciting. Cannabis stocks have been a prime focus for retail investors ever since legalization in Canada. Now, in 2021, the U.S. government is moving to legalize the substance. That means that Village Farms, which has operations in the U.S., actually has a decent runway for growth.
Many analysts believe the stock is undervalued. But the fact that it is also heavily shorted means it could be a potential target for a short squeeze or a worthy meme stock. A small, speculative position in this tiny Canadian company may not be such a bad idea.
Bottom line
Meme stocks are usually interesting companies with heavy short interest. AMC stock has roughly 20% short interest, which is why Reddit users have been able to push it so high. Canada’s most shorted company, Village Farms International, could be a similar target.
AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:AMC) stock has been on an epic run this week. The share price is up 266% over the past two weeks and up 1,732% since the start of the year. That performance is better than most other meme stocks and is even better than most major cryptocurrencies.
Why invest in a bleeding-edge new digital technology when you can simply bet on a rebound in cinemas? However, investors aren’t just betting on the revival of entertainment here. They’re also deploying a coordinated short-squeeze strategy that has worked so well over the course of the pandemic.
If you’re trying to understand why AMC stock is on such a tear and which stock could be next, here’s a deep dive.
AMC stock action
This surge in AMC stock is anything but organic. Last year, Reddit users on the WallStreetBets forum discovered that the stock was heavily shorted. This means hedge funds and institutional investors were betting against the stock. Reddit users could buy the stock to push it up and compel these big investors to close their trade by purchasing the stock and pushing the price even higher.
This sophisticated strategy is known as a short squeeze; it was traditionally deployed by professional investors. This year, retail investors have been able to pull this strategy off by coordinating attacks.
AMC stock has been their most successful target. Despite the squeeze over the past year, 21%, or roughly one in five shares of AMC are still being shorted. That means there’s more room to run.
This week, the company raised US$230.5 million (C$277 million) from hedge fund Mudrick Capital. The money is being used to acquire new companies and pay down debt. It seems the short squeeze has been so successful that it’s actually saving this company from bankruptcy.
Something is up. Bring the news
Wish it would do that off of $2 instead of trips
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Mike!
Agreed. I am buying through out the summer which tends to be historically a bearish period for MJ anyway.
Down 27% on that report? Nope. This overreaction is going to make me a ton of money.
How about you?
This overreaction is awesome! #loading
Just stay in this range until noon tomorrow

April 15, 2021 01:02 PM ET (BZ Newswire) -- Cannabis
Multi-country medical and recreational cannabis operator IM Cannabis (CSE:IMCC) (NASDAQ:IMCC) is gearing up to expand its product offering in the German market this year with a range of specially formulated high-THC, balanced-THC and CBD oil extracts.
The company announced its German subsidiary, Adjupharm GmbH, signed a two-year supply agreement with MediPharm Labs (OTC:MEDIF) for the production and delivery of IMC-branded, specially formulated extracts. The products will be distributed by Adjupharm and its network to more than 6,000 pharmacies across Germany.
“The agreement with MediPharm is part of our multipronged approach to growing IMC’s business in key international markets not only through M&As," Oren Shuster, CEO of IMC, told Benzinga, "but also by the leveraging strong business relationships to enable the introduction and expansion of premium product portfolio to cater to the needs of patients and physicians. As demand for premium medical cannabis extracts grows in Germany, it provides an excellent opportunity for IMC to deploy this strategy.”
The agreement with MediPharm Labs comes on the heels of another supply agreement IMC announced earlier this week with Canadian-based Northern Green Canada to supply IMC-branded medical cannabis to the German market as well.
April 8, 2021 01:09 PM ET (BZ Newswire) -- Cannabis
Skye Bioscience Inc. was a sponsor at the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference on February 25-26, 2021. The information contained in this article in no way represents investment advice or opinion on the part of Benzinga or its writers and is intended for informational purposes only.
From the first research of tetrahydrocannabinol(THC) in 1964 by Raphael Mechoulam to the recent findings of the hundreds of cannabinoids that can alleviate symptoms of a plethora of illnesses and diseases, we now know cannabis is more than just weed and about getting high.
Skye Bioscience Inc. (OTCQB:SKYE), a biopharmaceutical company developing proprietary, synthetic cannabinoid-derived molecules to treat diseases with significant unmet needs recently presented at the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference its approach to treating Glaucoma through unlocking the pharmaceutical value of THC.
Here’s what you need to know.
Glaucoma — An Important Unmet Need
According to a report on vision by the World Health Organization (WHO), at least 2.2 billion people suffer from vision impairment or blindness, of which over 1 billion cases could have been prevented or have yet to be addressed.
Glaucoma is a disease that leads to the progressive damage of retinal ganglion cells, which make up the optic nerve, and without intervention will gradually lead to irreversible blindness. In most cases, there is no pain and the loss of vision occurs gradually from peripheral to central and unfortunately, in many instances, people with glaucoma do not even realize it until they start experiencing some degree of permanent loss of vision
In fact, over 3 million Americans have glaucoma but only half of those know they have it. In addition, this disease accounts for over 10 million visits to physicians per year in the United States, and the estimation of suspected cases are close to 60 million worldwide.
of irreversible blindness and it ranks among the main reasons for the usage of medical marijuana.
A Light In The Horizon — Relevance Of THC To Glaucoma
The primary aim for currently used therapies is to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) to slow the progression. Yet, many patients are unresponsive or develop tolerance to medication leaving notable unmet needs, resulting in more than 50% of patients requiring 2 or more drugs which can increase side effects and reduce compliance. The market has lacked significant innovation, thus presenting an opportunity and need for new classes of therapy.
Cannabinoids have a great impact on the endocannabinoid system (ECS) — eyes are rich with cannabinoid receptors, specifically in tissues involved in managing fluid production and drainage as well as cells responsible for vision.
Multiple independent studies have demonstrated THC’s ability to lower IOP. In fact, the first report that smoking cannabis lowers IOP appeared in the early 1970s, and since then multiple human studies have validated THC’s ability to lower IOP. However there have been challenges creating a viable therapeutic with systemic delivery of THC for glaucoma because of poor,unpredictable pharmacokinetics and potential side effects.
Unlocking the therapeutic value of THC
Skye’s approach is designed to provide advantages over currently approved drugs and natural cannabinoids to treat glaucoma. Skye’s synthetic THC prodrug called THCVHS is engineered to enhance its local delivery — avoiding systemic side effects and enhancing bioavailability in the eye.
In an animal study comparing latanoprost, the glaucoma standard-of-care, THCVHS was superior in a key outcome of lowering IOP. THCVHS may also provide unique neuroprotection to prevent another key cause of vision loss — optical nerve cell death.
Skye is working toward its Phase 1 study planned for H2 2021, which will primarily assess safety and tolerability but will also measure IOP in both healthy subjects as well as a smaller subset of patients with elevated IOP. The nature of glaucoma allows this study to be relatively short and low cost.
Corporate highlights
Skye Bioscience, previously Emerald Biosciences, introduced a series of incoming results from pre-clinical and clinical-enabling studies. Should the results prove positive, they would pave the way for an Investigational New Drug (IND) application into what is a potentially $10 billion drug market.
Some of the company’s highlights include:
Demonstrated greater IOP lowering than market-leading glaucoma therapeutics
Potential neuroprotection capabilities would be a game-changer
Key preclinical data (IOP/neuroprotection) in Q221
First clinical trial: fast; low-cost; will include assessment of intraocular pressure
Many glaucoma licensing deals have been completed in phase 2 or earlier
$40 million market cap
$350 million outstanding common shares
$472.7 million fully diluted shares

I have some powder on the sidelines if the fins show what I would like to see. I also said that I wouldnt spend another penny here until I saw proff of heading in the right direction.
IMO- I think the team has positioned themselves to under promise and over deliver. I think the results will be stellar.
