RE:DisappointingKingbear, thanks for your good post - finally someone who can think!
I have posted yesterday on other board as follows:
Three years ago, on today day, Aphria s/p was almost identical to its current (today) price. Bearing in mind gradual opening of the European and Asian economies, and fact that the new investment cycle is inevitable, I wonder the following: How many investors would like to invest in a sound company that promised a lot and fulfilled even more, but also in the company whose s/p has not moved for a cent after three years? How many serious investors will invest in Aphria in the midst of a bunch of good companies that are currently severely undervalued due to the pandemic, but whose performance has been proven many times before? I suspect very few! If those investors weren't interested in Aphria when the company showed the most resilience in the toughest of times, why would they be interested after?
I seem to know the answer to those questions, though I'd love to hear it from you as well. I will risk repeating myself by saying what I have tried to articulate several times on this board, which is that the answer, I hereby only speculate, lies in the marriage of convenience between Aphria and some large financial institutions. Unfortunately, this marriage has been very successful so far - it has brought a lot of money and satisfaction to the partners and this is why it is still lasting. Serious investors, of course, know this and don't want to be "third in bed", so, I am speculating again, this is the only reason we still do not see serious demand for Apha that would eventually separate us from CGC and propel the company to the place it deserves.
