RE:Surprised with the numbers retail doesn't begin until mid October, we will have a much clearer picture of the number of franchises, then. By the first quarter of 2019, we'll have an idea of what Ontario is going to look like. This is in its infancy and the first financials that the company has posted show a sound picture so far, very positive IMO. Pot has been a wild ride with lots of hysteria, a ton of money made, and lost, both long and short, invest in the strengths in this new sector, ignore the noise as it is a cacophony and drowns out the sensible. Short the hysteria. Do serious dd, anyone taking any investment advice from a chatroom, long or short, deserves to lose all thier money. Discussion is healthy, desenting views are healthy, pompom waving, or the opposite are a waste of time, posts on SH have zero influence on share price for any stock. Day traders here made some nice coin yesterday, its going to happen, this has been trading for less than a month.....Good luck.
