RE:Buy before or after financials ?In my humble opinion, you probably want to hold a position before earnings here. Especially if Canopy reports losses still. Valens has not included any numbers in the release of their extraction agreements but the CEO alluded to positive numbers coming in the Feb report (which i'm not sure is legal) -- this tells me they want official reports to tell the market how well they are doing. So if Canopy reporting triggers a sell in the space and Valens reports healthy margins, there will be a lot of free money that comes piling in.
I've been in (and out) for over a year here now but am happy with my current position. Otherwise i'd be piling at his very minute. Today's carnage is, albeit aggressive, an expected retracement after 100% gain in 1 month. Bulls back next week and come end of February, i'm expecting fireworks.
Not advice, just my opinion and Good luck to you whatever path you choose.
