RE:RE:RE:RE:Maybe I missed this.. But everyone exercised their options Towering if ALEF was the sole company dropping the way they are I would understand your point of view and frustration , but have a broad look at the sector in the past six months... This is NOT a company specific issue but more a sector consolidation once again..
It is concering that ALEF breaks new lows but it is within stride of the sector, technicals are always in play unless a scandal breaks in which then you can throw them out the window.
To give you another perspective, have a look at most emerging market sectors, UBER, LYFT, WEED... Seems atm true investors are not fond of these industries I assume because of the questionable economy at the moment.
So marijuana Is no exception at least until 2.0 proves that revenue and profit become a reality..
JMHO

And are another form of dilution, so they are generally treated with respect to the shareholders and issued at a premium to encourage performance. As a public company the people running it should have a vested interest and be shareholder minded as stakeholders. If they think their job is to make money themselves they should be under the private model and not come to the capital markets for funding. When they change the focus to themselves the market reacts in this very way. Then by implication setting these options at market price shows that they saw the stock going lower. It’s called “cheap paper” which will seriously hinder a securities performance as soon as they become “in the money”. Not to mention the serious lack of insider ownership relative to peers... I feel like the majority of investors in ALEF don’t understand securities or the game and just got into stocks during the green rush. Fundamentals and chart reading isn’t logical in pot stocks. The market is way too manipulated to look at RSI indexes and the like. I’m all for discussing the positives like the sale of the land in Paris and buying more land in Brant, but if you want to keep emotional investing out of it you need to see red flags for what they are... Red flags.
