Unfortunately, I anticipate a short term "blip" coming...
News released on Fridays is almost never good...
As soon as I saw that release andtiming the other day of Q1 numbers, my gut knotted up. :(
As such, I've sold about 2/3 of my position...on the way down today...
I'm guessing they hit their Q1 numbers as they have always been good about managing investor expectations and trying to eek out a little bit above that...but...
I'm guessing fridays news might show us that some of those margins have contracted more than we may have anticipated which might have people wondering...
I still love the story and likely to come back in to top up my position again, but get the impression that some on this board might be "less" aware of some of the finer points of timing of news releases so I just wanted to share as to why "I" think we are seeing a down day today and likely to see a bit more of the same in the next few days...
I could certainly be wrong...and I know that WELL will see blue sky again down the road, but likely not in a straight line...

WOW thats pretty messed up to sell 2/3 or a position. You may be right but - pretty messed up. Did you take off your pyramid hat as well, or just tighten the screws too much, maybe rearrange those ChicKen bones. They pre_announced good data yet again which has always been a good omen. Time will tell - I dont even know what to say about what you dit- its completly illogical.

yep, he might be right but I, rightly or wrongly, have held on and never sold a share. I rode it all the way down to $1.89 (U.S.) and will ride it this time also. Like I said, right or wrong, I'm in for long haul and if I ever make money (my break is $5.18 U.S.) at least it will be long term gains.

yeah, i'm not real excited about the Friday release. I've got most of my porfolio in this so I'm just crossing my fingers. Great investment strategy. Never said I was smart!

LOL , Enbridge always releases earnings on Friday. And last Friday, Firan Technology, AFTER HOURS,r eleased news of two acquisitions closing early. As retiredcf pointed out Well is prior to the market opening so ..... as you said , there are always exceptions.

PI.. I see that Firan news... Sounds like you can relate to my confusion as far as timing as you yourself specifically state on the Firan thread, after the news release, that "you wished the news was released midweek" Point is...I want and hope WELL continues to thrive, and expect it to do so...but timing for the release was "odd"

"Would have liked this posted during the week." By that I meant during business/ market hours.

That fine PI... Justify whatever...says "says during the week" not "business hours ...before or after.". As investors, we all " talk our book"...I get it. Either way none of us are happy with the share price move today... Here's to better days! GLTA
