    If they paid $150 million for a property to grow pot in Jamaica it's a definate dump of a stock. Wouldn't touch it. There's been some nuts purchases by some of these pot stocks. Friday night paid I think $40 million for an acre field in las Vegas.
    Every Irish farmer is a billionaire going on that logic.

    Big insider buying yesterday I think it could all blow over. I got out last week but I might make a punt today.

    Unless there is a very firm response that's transparent and well backed up then it won't blow over.
    The insider investment is pretty small to the monies supposedly fraudulently obtained.

    I'd reserve judgement about insider trading. Also they released a statement of where they were at with Latin Americas but didn't respond directly to the accusations, may be they don't want to rise to the bait. In any event...The cost of doing business in these countries is pretty high (mining in Africa ring a bell!) and not as straightforward as buying the property and away you go. So I'd presume there would be alot of sweetheart deals at the start to get in there first.

    There's a guy over on reddit who happens to be on holidays in Bogota and going to check their operation out :pac: https://www.reddit.com/r/weedstocks/comments/a31lw8/hey_im_currently_in_bogota_colombia_are_there_any/

    Just liquidated 60% of my portfolio. Taking a break. Reducing exposure to the states, horrendous day.

    Signs of us economic slowdown + Trump at the helm + China woes, only so much my nerves can take.

    Keeping a few small caps.

    Want to rest easy this Christmas!

    Worst bet of the year - HIVE, still holding but at a low enough average now.

    Best bet of the year - €10 on Peter Casey to come second at 100/1, believe it or not.

    Tesla, Amazon, Starbucks and KO all good earners too.



    Holding for now: HIVE, RGSE, FB and BRKB.


    On the sidelines for now.

    I'd be unloading Apple if in profit, a lot of negative news and price slashing on the XR. Can always buy back in if sentiment changes.

    Happy to be mainly cash for now, Amazon has tanked since I sold it, timed that well.

    FTSE looking a bit hairy. I don't l go short but I'd imagine money to be made today shorting almost any US stock.

    Everything is going to tank today, you can't just arrest the founder of Huawei's daughter on the first day of a trade war truce. Going to be ugly until resolved.
    It's like China locking up Steve Jobs daughter.

    Good time to get in on Aphria following the short attack!! Read a few detailed rebuttals from randomers on reddit so I think they'll come out of it. Seems to be edging up from a low of 5 odd.

    90% of assets are in Canada anyway . Also this facility is due open for production in January....

    Just had a look. My shares have transferred to AMAL at the rate of 1.1 per TAW share. However I did get a shock when I logged in because the value of the shares appears as $0 so my portfolio was way down. I'm sure this will be altered.

    In the meantime happy with the outcome and very happy we didn't have to sell the TAW shares. All aboard the AMAL roller-coaster for 2019!

    Correction, just looked again on Degiro....now it does indeed appear to be a swap and the AMAL transaction is actually a purchase. Don't know how I mistook that earlier !! I now do indeed have AMAL shares in my Degiro account. Soo fair play Degiro (sorry for dissing ye)

    What's ye'er feeling towards AMAL? It seems to have actually been a reverse takeover. The AMAL chiefs are all expected to retire and Mark Calderwood is going to be the boss of the enlarged entity. Soo it's just going to be a bigger version of Tawana.
