RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:ImpactMayham - responses below...

If you read my post without being in attack mode you'd realize that I said for people who do decide to drive into puchase goods. These people will tend to stock up. Not sure what issue you have with this. I personally will go to retail occasionally out of curiousity but will continue the conveneince of ordering online and having it delivered to my front door. People who do decide to visit should purchase more the next time to stock up. The retail experience will become a regular phenomenon as time goes by. :) Bottom line is sales will continue regardless.
My issue is that its a false premise to begin with... and if you are saying "some" people will buy bigger orders, well more will buy directly online. These companies chasing retail are very bold, and there is question on where the LPs will have any retail exposure. But who cares? The potential overbuild and hype crash could be monster. There is a good chance WEED is going to have to write off some leases on the back of this decision but thats another story. Sales may be sales in your mind, but sales from retail are worse than direct. The economics are pretty terrible - $1M cost, 300k profit annual on really bold assumptions. And who knows once the lottery is done, how many of these guys overpay for retail but again, different problem.
People are more and more moving to online but Canopy may make 500k/profit MAX per retail location they have - after spending 1-1.5M. Couple that with potential overbuild and saturation and you should be very skeptical of any retail plans. Allow the OCS to be the best option and you dont need to worry about much else. I get the branding and cross product selling blah blah but its alot of capital chasing alot of strategies that have alot of risks - Ontario's retail store move just proved that.

Yes it CAN change but I repeat they are currently crushing it with first mover advantage. Something that has been discussed repeatedly on this board. I can't wait until financial results in each quarter of 2019.
First moved advantage? They cant even access the US market. They got alot of capital sure and have the more market cap / more Canada grow. We havent even seen the impact of potential crop failures and thats something no one can predict. 20-40% expected crop failure is what typical organic crops operate at. These plants cant have pesticides or gene modication and its a tempermental plant. Already signs of mold recalls.. thats the stuff hitting the market. Who knows what the impact of this will be.

The best part is we have cash in the bank and I trust CB / Canopy are pushing all the right buttons. I doubt they are sitting on their hands counting money, time will tell. I'd like to read your complementary posts after such partnerships are forged.
Trust is subjective. What I trust is that people with real money dont just "trust" companies like this that smile on BNN and talk about how BIG the opportunities are globally. They are skeptics gaurding the investment dollars of pensions and mutual funds... these are the people who matter if you want the stock to go higher and you should always look through their lens. If you think Canopy is doing a good job converting those players and getting them into their stock, then all you need to do is look at the stock price.

Relax man, of course I am going to wait on approval of such medicines. What? We all give our money to pharma now? What are you some kind of hypocrite. Once proven my decision is an easy one and I think I can honestly say I speak for the majority here. I love my dogs more than some family members :)
So which is it.. are you going to wait until you see evidence it works or are you going to tell everyone to sink money into it because Canopy is going to crack the problem? Making investments is like buying cocaine - the more you know about what your doing the better time you'll have, but you can only blame yourself if you die because you "trusted" the guy. This theory applies to all stocks, not just Canopy.

How the F do you know this? You attack my suggestions but have zero proof yourself, again relax dude.
You can private message me if you want proof. Company will go public in January.

Now that is hitting below the belt. You are questioning purchase price of acquisitions now claiming Bruce is doing this for his own pocket book. I guess it's a good thing there are people like you around to keep people honest. Institutions don't want anything to do with these guys? Care to elaborate?
Hey Im saying if you are going to throw shade at Aphria, just look at the relationship of Canopy Rivers and Canopy. An public investment vehicle whos financial interests are tied to a public company that share the same CEO/Chairman? I dont know any public companies operating it as such and I dont have the access to financials necessary to put all the pieces together but I dont know why people arent talking about it more...
If I told you the guy at Aphria had investments in an "incubator" and thats how Aphria sourced those deals how would it be different? They get the same lawyers/accountants rubber stamps lol.

Again there are no guarantees. I will continue to chose an optimistic view while you sit on yourhands being overly conservative. Will shall see where we end up. My vote is UP! Isn't this all that really matters at the end of the day. Let's not over complicate shyte dude. YOu are going to make money be happy!
Oh.. im sorry. I didnt know your investment strategy was based on fluffy rainbows and "feeling good". My apologies - we just have different views on how to make money. But thats why I like discussing individual points and rational trains of thought.
I'm given you one last flyer on the insults and WW3 will ensue :P
It was meant in jest. If after all the things said on this board, your trigger is being called a priest then I apologize lol. At least I kept it high-brow.
