Some big company with lots of $$$$$$$ want's this company really bad. I could sell and walk away because I am back in the green but the products and potential of this company is what keep me hanging on, maybe I am a bag holder and stubborn.
It's obvious to all investors what's going on and maybe VIC is helpless in this situation. Maybe he just decided to bury his head in the sand and say fc@@k it I will deal with it after legalization or maybe something big brewing.
I do like your explanation of changing a flat tire and University educated, very true. feenewbie - (8/21/2018 4:39:28 PM) RE:What piss@ss me off CEO with MBA VS CEO with Electrical Cert Garlic, it seems to me that there was a noticeable lack of "fresh" ideas and direction when Arlene Dickenson left Aphria - I think her contribution to the company is immeasurable. As for Vic having an MBA, you can have all the education in the world but it is what you do with that advantage which really matters. For example, I have met many educated people who cannot change a flat tire. Terry Booth, on the other hand was, at the young age of 22, Alberta's youngest-ever Master Electrician, which IMO is an indication of the drive he had at a young age (and Master Electricians can, among other things, change a flat tire lol). In fact, it is a very mathematical and technical based trade, and many Master Electricians go on to operate their own technical businesses. Sure they hire MBA's and CA's for CFO's/administration, but most of them become adept at designing buildings, drawing their own blueprints, quoting jobs, running trades, looking after suppliers, customer service, human resource management, collections, etc. So when you ask how Terry could "outsmart" Vic, look at the advantages Terry had in the building design processes of Aurora Mountain and Aurora Sky, etc. There are many intelligent people on these boards, be they MBA's, trades, nurses, teachers, stockbrokers, etc. Some are just more street-wise, competitive, driven, etc. Arlene Dickenson's advice is to have a strong CFO - yet she didn't go to school to get an MBA, but was presented with an Honorary Degree due to her accomplishments.
