Shattered Dreams for now but later a big Celebration The history of APHA is that every year there has been a 100 % gain
Nov 2018 $ 16
Nov 2017 $ 8
Nov 2016 $ 4
Nov 2015 $ 2
Nov 2014 $ 1
and probably in Nov 2019 $ 32 at least for independent APHA or even $ 64 with a deal/JV
Now we have many worries over which we have NO control.
All we can do is HOPE and WAIT. For example :
A) There are many maco economic poitical world events that impact the S & P and Dow and the Fed monmetary policy that we have NO control over and infulence APHA.
B) There are many MJ sector wide events from goverment regulation to OCS to Canada
Post to stores in April to municipality opt out to losses and lack of earnings from other LP
C) There are APHA related worries about pending deals and phase IV & V completion and Double Diamond on time for early 2019 harvest.
As for the shae price swings now we have to suffer short term pain and fear to earn that future 100% gain.
We temporarily see our various personal dreams being shattered - no early retirement, no new house, no new car, no big boat in Sorrento, no gifts to relatives or children and no debt or mortgage pay downs.
As the price rose in September to $ 21 we all pleasantly had those various aspirations in sight and some even went on margin to buy more for that elusive $ 30 share.
And now the recent drop to $ 13 and back to $ 16 has caused anguish and acrimony among posters..
Long time investors in the last 3 years have had the experience of an emotional rollercoaster whiplash and it has been hard on the nervous system with stress headache migraine and hypertension and ulcers and gastro esophageal reflex and colitis with irregularity.
If you can stomach the swings and hang on to the precious shares you will succeed in making the inevitable 100 % gain. That is difficult in most market timeframes.
You will EARN it !!
