I have seen very little thus far which I would consider accurate, let alone unbiased, and reasonable, and think it overreaching at best for anyone to present they are speaking on behalf of shareholders, as I have been a substantial one in both for quite a while.
It seems more and more people are not aware of the basics of the market, let alone (as always) the cannabis industry, the mechanics of day to day processes and operations of such, nor the activities of companies within the space.
The essence of the market itself is differences of opinion.
For example:
I welcome (have, do, and will continue to) even a single post on either board addressing post merger and why any reasonable, rational adult with the most basic understanding would consider such actually anything less than incredibly wise, given that the industry itself and all actions have already displayed it as such, as well as a fraction of the price and value.
I note as well an incredible lack of understanding of either companies current holdings and activities, as is seen often.
We are also seeing a continuation of inaccurate information being presented. As is always the case, if one has to insert such in order to support their argument, they didn't have one to begin with.
I think it questionable for one to believe their "right" when one cannot produce a valid argument, free of inaccuracies, addressing that which they oppose.
Most cannot, and will not.
To come to the conclusion that current pricing has anything to do with the merger, at a time when GLD has touched similar levels many times prior, and the entire cannabis sector has gapped down not once, but twice, entering into a long holiday week/weekend is nonsense.
It seems very few understand either business, their holdings, activities, what those look like post merger, and the value created, otherwise, there would be little opposition.
As above (the market is differences of opinion), for one to assume they are "right" and all others are wrong itself begins at a position with zero support.
The facts of the matter being the merger will create a top 5 U.S holdings (and revenue), full CA and NV vertical integration (for both companies), as well as countless other things of interest.
As one who has held significant interests in each, served the industry and the operations within far more than any other here, and in many cases actually have intimate knowledge of the others within the "top 5", I would agree with management of both. The decision is wise, the timing is virtually perfect, and if one does not support the companies, they possibly may want to rethink their positions.
