Aphria Inc. APHA

RE Shorting

[hevin]

On Fintel it shows short volume at 24 and 26% over the last two days. Over 20% is considered significant. For the life of me, I can't understand why anyone would short the #1 company with the best fundamentals of all cannaplays, not to mention the most revenue, and soon to be a juggernaut with Tilray in tow. Aphria is clearly undervalued compared to the bloated bleeding hog Canopy. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but to me this is highly suspicious and reeks of corruption and
market manipulation. So, a reminder to all and especially newbies:

a) Keep calling IIROC. (although they haven't got back to me in two weeks...is it covid related or are they liquid lunching with the hedge fund CEO's?)

b) Put all your shares at an outrageously high price so the scumbag shorts can't borrow them.

c) American friends contact your congresspeople, senators, and especially the panel of the GameStop investigation.

THERE ARE SOME THINGS (but not many) WITHIN OUR CONTROL!!
glta longs,
shorty rot...

Relatively newbie investor here. I started invested just before cannabis legalization in Canada. Made some really good returns! Been investing since then, but still have way too much to learn. Such as: How do I "put my shares at a high price so shorts don't borrow"?

Today the price is around 25 can or 20 US. Just go into your platform, and put a sell order in for all your shares for say, 70$.  The worst that could happen is for some reason the share price shoots up and you get 70$/ share. (pretty good, eh?) It's not likely, but from what I've read, at least it will prevent shorty from borrowing them, to use against you. Think of shorty as cops

  Much appreciated hevin! GL to you too

Now you're talking!  That is supposed to be how it works but unfortunately the BIG BOYS break the law and NAKED SHORT without actually borrowing the shares before they start selling them to drive the price down.

Excellent... That is the spirit we need to succeed, not following some of the analysts and institutional guys who are our own suckers... long live retail investors..,  I have a question though, shorts can play only on the floated shares, right? also, with TD, I can change the price from $70 to &30 on the same order, without cancelling...,

This sounds like a great idea, can you imagine if the majority of the mass did this. It kind of sounds like a new tool that the Reddit gang could use, I would post that idea on there but I am having problems on the Reddit sign in. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Good for you for suggesting to contact congress people, IIROC ect, if we all band together things can change. I've written to both Ford and Trudeau many times and mostly regarding their botching of the cannibas roll out. I've seen things change quickly and I am convinced that they do listen if we all unite. I've signed various e-petitions including Change.org and petitions

So you going make a large donation to their party? Or send them on a nice vacation somewhere? If not, we can pretend they will listen

Yes, we should not simply sell below $40, period! I was watching some of the big CEO's talking today on BNN, they all agree that it is nothing great with Tesla, GameStop or Bitcoin making them so valuable, but mainly the flux of retail investors like us getting into it...  interesting..... so, markets are all time high and not really getting into recession because of that....  Now we
