Wild RideOn Friday I actually sold off half the shares I had bought on margin. More good luck than good planning as I had a 9 dollar sell order that filled during that quick ride to 9.03 and back. I had acquired them at 8.15 the day ProfC proclaimed he had bought as well.
Yep, watched Chartman Dan speculate on the liklihood of a gap down today.
I had a buy order in for 8.30 to reacquire those shares I let go on Friday. If filled.
I cannot get over the misunderstanding about this debt filing. In my view it has everything to do with Aphria wanting to position itself to be able to pull the trigger on something. I think the most likely is TRST. I have mixed feelings about TRST. I would hope if APHA is actually lurking about they will not pay a premium, just the present average daily price.. But if I were Irwin I would be securing agreements from the Government, especially in terms of HC (and get DD in the negotiation), to ensure this was good for the APHA. One could easily make the case that saving TRST was good for Canada (saving jobs, saving product, etc.).
Aphria really is the only company in a position to do so. ACB is already too diluted and STZ would never allow WEED to acquire anything more before they get their own house in order.
I am not saying this is what will happen. What I am suggesting is this debt structure is most likely a good thing for APHA and they are looking to hammer something over the fence. Structured properly, and with a motivated government not looking to lose what was becoming a major player (TRST) it just might happen.
Yet we gap down on Monday because some think APHA has diluted the company. Insane.
Sell order agan at 9 for those shares picked up this morning. This is a very small portion of my overall APHA holdings, but at least my margin costs are being covered. The rest of my shares are not going anywhere for a few years. Anyone who does not believe APHA is now executing better than the other LPs needs to go back and look at the Investors page on their website.
