I was wondering the exact same thing. Maybe Vic figures that investors often have the attention span of a walnut and just hopes they'll all forget about it.
Hey, if you think Aphria has a PR problem check this out...
See, if I worked for J&J I would just put out a press release saying "we put that asbestos in our powder on purpose because we didn't want your baby to catch on fire!".
The market will stay irrational, longer than you can stay solvent. If you sold, move on, and don't look back. Management has robbed it's shareholders more than once. There's really nothing else that matters. This is not any kind of investment. With current management, there will never be a deal from a legitimate company.
You know, last week when Vic said to expect an Aphria "line-by-line" rebuttal "by likely Wednesday" he also said at the same time that Liberty would "likely" be responding to QCM/Hindenburg's second report by Monday.
Neufeld said Liberty Health Sciences, a company backed by Aphria that was the target of a second round of allegations, will likely release its own response on Monday.
That hasn't materialized either. To my knowledge this is Liberty's only "response" to date...
"Short sellers wanna make money" ain't exactly my idea of a definitive defense. Who doesn't?
