But the situation clearly indicates the management team must do better. Investor Relations being top of that list.
Right now I lean toward Neufeld stepping down, not just because of this, but a year of lagging behind others in terms of getting this company known. CNBC called it Aphrodite. The article that DD1964 called Aphria a “lesser known company.” Leamington is considered Hicksville yet Smiths Falls is being touted as a town on the rebound. I firmly believe the sh!t job they did on PR over the last year or so was partially responsible for the situation we are in now.
Number one, prove no corporate malfeasance. Phew!
Number two, get your sh!t together and start being the company the longs on here clearly see the potential for. Cronos has half the potential growing capacity and they are better known?
I am so hoping they are innocent, I think they are, but I am mad as he!! we are here. Some slime ball is able to do one briefing at one cheese ball shorter conference with what looks like 20 people in a room and we are now fighting for our company’s life? Lose the gold chain Vic. I have lots of ties, happy to mail you one...well, not mail, that won’t get it there by Weds...better FedEx.
This whole post 17 Oct schtick has been a clown show...every entity from the Federal Government through OCS to Aphria royally fcuked it up. Time to get it right. But jeez Louise, get some professional guidance on how to relate to your investors. Aphria has done a stellar job on their greenhouses and automation and lowest production costs...yet we are Aphrosomething in the eyes of the world.

This is going to be a multi-billion dollar company and they had investment banks, lawyers, valuators, etc. review everything... It's pretty clear this short attack began around mid-term elections and culminated in a fake report to enrich thieves with clueless Gekko as the fallguy. Altria definately is not the only blue whale in the ocean.

Nope...Grego was a pawn. Altria threw a poison pill over their shoulder (or was it a hand grenade) and passed on a few damaging nuggets they learned during their talks with Aphria to a hack with a PowerPoint program. How nice, hammer the entire sector and then walk away with majority holding of another Canadian company.
On the one hand, if Vic and his team are confident enough to think they can produce enough high grade lower production cost cannibus than good on them. Right now it strikes me as though they made the mistake of spurning tobacco...and tobacco is not a nice industry. They are a dwindling market desperate to get back to their former strength. I am old enough to remember when North American market started to decline they were into the third world countries with all of their left over Joe Camel cool sunglasses and Marlboro Man image. These are the guys who paid Doctors to produce phony reports suggesting nicotine and tar would good for you and have spent billions of dollars paying off politicians to gag the real reports.
I hate this stock price pain. Hate it. But if this results in beverage and pharma (no angels either, but better than tobacco) being on board instead...then ok.
But sheesh...you would think Neufeld and his team could be writing some of this and not Reddit and Stockhouse contributers.
The fckrs better be innocent...
