RE:acb $9.00 by the end of 2018Lol you realise we live in canada, we are not capitalist and you will witness the government bend over for large corporations as it has been doing for decades. Protecting and encouraging monopolies is in our blood as canadians. and when you talk of smaller lp's they might be given a chance to catch up but that wont change their capitalisation or production capacity. Fact is the big 3 are the best positioned, already have highest access to capital, have already made the investment into production. The way i see it is that they are positioned to suck up the most revenues from the rec/med market and if the demand is not as strong as expected then capital will be cut off from the smaller companies. Bigger companies will have more revenues = more profits and more money to invest. They are already a mile ahead of most of the competition and consolidation in the sector is inevitable. As lord tywin lannister put it : "gold wins wars"
