RE:Perhaps it is just the opposite... Everybody interested in VGw should read what this guy just said ! Don't listen to the bashers saying the stock buyback was bad. it was one of thenbest things this company could do! They are sending the message that they are in a good position amid the mess this sector has become.
P.S. They don't have to buyback, if the shares go up they might not, but they have the option to if things get ridiculous like they have been!

This is onegrateful for. of the many things that differentiates Valens from most other MJ companies and one, as a shareholder, you should be grateful for.
Their responsibility is to use this cash to find investments, assets, etc. that enhance the value of the company which is the same as shareholder value. What they just said was at these current prices, the best value in the space is...themselves! Since they should know better than any of us you should be taking heart at this buyback. Realistically, if they take 5% of the existing shares off the table, the share price should rise by MORE than 5% becaue the PE just went UP nit down!
A share buy back 99% of the time is seen as an extremely strong market move. Share buy backs are what initiated and continued to fuel the rally in the Dow for example.
Our biggest worry is a buy out...but then again at the right price it makes sense for all of us including VGW.
Stock should be over $5 US right now. Their biggest weakness is in getting the story out and managing the stock which is indeed a critical job of management. How they do this is definitely one of the criteria they should be measured against.
