just got back from AGMFirst things first. Vic was on fire tonight. He introduced Jakob as President which was cool and expected. I had a really long talk with Jakob. A real pro. Nice guy too.
He is 100% on Aphria payroll. So we can put that to bed. He made the move for multiple reasons, personal and business but what I got from him is that the team at Aphria are great people to work with and that the opportunity to shape the birth of a new industry was paramount to his decision.
Vic addressed the elephant in the room (deals) and really just wanted us to understand that daily fluctuations in stock price are meaningless. The business is progressing and moving towards massive profitability by May 2019. He said when he makes a deal it will be in the shareholder interest so he isn't rushing to make ANY deal(s)...and he also said it could be more than 1.
He had to hold back when talking about Shoppers...so I'm hoping there is more there...I think there is. There is so much more to discuss and I will but I have to gather my thoughts and recollections.
I was thrilled to meet up with GonetoPot, Monteviale, InvestorGal, Due Diligence and BSA who is a real gentleman and a great guy as well! (Also met some partners but they aren't on here so suffice it say I really liked them as well...good people on this board) I also had the priveledge to introduce Daredevil from Peru via long distance to the rest of the group. ...of course they were thrilled as was Daredevil. Again, good people.
I can tell you this (only to people who care to hear my opinion) Vic is ready to grow. He's taking multiple calls from Investment banks in the USA and also multinationals EVERY WEEK. As he said, "we are the belle of the ball". Stay long my friends, Vic is taking this home in 2019.
