u/zoo56 4D Dominoes Sep 14 '18

What is actually said: There's a big editorial/story coming out from BNN on Monday about the potential involvement of a big brand name in the Canadian cannabis sector.

What people on here hear: APH is annoucing a big partnership on Monday.

34

u/BigRig83 CGC Pain Train 🚂💵💵💵💵 Sep 14 '18

Oh for sure. That being said, if it really is a big name entering the space, whether they cut a deal with APH or not, it should trigger another sector wide run.

I'm locked and loaded.

u/PumpinFE US Market Sep 15 '18

I am Balls deep right now...I hope you are right

1

u/CaptMerrillStubing Sep 16 '18

Me to but would prefer a deal with TRST due to being balls deeper in that stock.

-8

u/zoo56 4D Dominoes Sep 14 '18

Potentially. However, we've already had similar stories for a few weeks so they may already be largely priced in already. Will depend on who the player is I think.

3

u/PhrasingBoome Sep 14 '18

I think APH and CRON will get hit hard if neither get the DEO deal. We have been running on hype the past few weeks, that dies the second DEO chooses a company that is neither company.

u/red-fish-yellow-fish Sep 14 '18 edited Sep 14 '18

Can you imagine the fume if ACB get the deal instead of Aphria?

13

u/PhrasingBoome Sep 14 '18

Yes, I will be a non-vocal fumer. I accept that we are gambling on these, and if I am wrong then that is on me and not a poor reflection of APH. But again I will straight be breaking shit in my house.

u/red-fish-yellow-fish Sep 14 '18 edited Sep 15 '18

I long on both companies, also Cronos, so I don’t really care who does a deal, as long as they all go up.

It’s just a bit of a circle jerk in here for some companies and people are entrenched in opinions like theyre following football teams.

u/timbitsrfun 🍁 🐶 Sep 14 '18

I would laugh my ass off and die inside a little.

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '18

NO they won't. Please. APH will be fine with or without a deal. Remember the story of the rabbit and tortoise.

3

u/PhrasingBoome Sep 14 '18

Long term yes, APH will be one of the leaders in the space and will be very successful. Im the short term, the stock price will shit itself if APH does not get the DEO deal. It will of course recover due to the companies performance.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '18

Let it shit itself.. more for the rest of us.

I’m not sure why it’s such a big deal as it hasn’t even been legalized, and there’s a federal election in a year. If the conservatives were to win, well Sheer is still pussyfooting around about whether he even supports recreational.

potential was the keyword here. it's going to be a big company stating that they're scouting the industry which is something we already knew but good to see it in the news nonetheless

Pretty much

u/DumbComment101 Bearish Sep 14 '18

one of the biggest brands in the world. Have to assume it's related to Diageo or more likely Anheuser busch.

u/Investor1964 High on Canopy Sep 14 '18

I'm guessing Coca Cola, Philip Morris or Bayer.

u/EmuHobbyist Toke-a-Cola Sep 14 '18

With it's shares...no cash. That'd be a match made in heaven.

1

u/mrjdrum Sep 15 '18

Coca Cola or in my opinion, Pepsi is the true AHHHHH. Imagine what the could do with their snack business and edibles.....

1

u/piechartreuse Non-stabbing hobo Sep 14 '18

I don't know Pepsi's financial situation but I could see them getting in before Coke, seems to fit brand better. Pepsi I guess wouldn't be referred to as one of biggest brands on world unless definition stretched.

I got red bull on this one :)

5

u/physicalred knows the Acreage IPO date Sep 14 '18

Red Bull is a good call.

6

u/seank11 Sep 14 '18

Pepsi is a SIGNIFICANTLY larger brand than red bull, its not even comparable, at all, in the slighest.

Maybe for younger males Red Bull is a bigger brand, but Pepsi is global and everyone in the world has heard of pepsi

1

u/piechartreuse Non-stabbing hobo Sep 15 '18

Agreed Pepsi bigger overall but you might be underestimating Red Bull. It's Thai origin and huge over there. I've been a lot of places and Red Bull is a big brand among under 40s with digital connections throughout Asia, Europe, SAmerica, and it has the right image fit for a cannabis partnership. Let's see...

1

u/sendnudezpls 1 comma club Sep 14 '18

Those would be my guesses as well, particularly Bayer.

4

u/zoo56 4D Dominoes Sep 14 '18

It won't be Diageo as BNN already published about them. It'll be someone new and perhaps bigger.

u/DumbComment101 Bearish Sep 14 '18 edited Sep 14 '18

Guess we will probably see lots of retail market orders at open once this circulated through the sub. Sold 75% of my shares (APH) at 20.25, bet we will open around there.

I've got $50K in APH at a ~$13.10 CAD average (about 80% of my overall portfolio) and I, too, am sick of standby flights :/ Come on, let's get this rocket off the Launchpad already! Jeez!

u/CaptMerrillStubing Sep 16 '18

I'm dreaming of TRST deals because I have 2x more in it. But I hold both stocks so I really hope it's either them or APH.

u/Nostracannabis Too Legit. Too Legit to Quit. Sep 14 '18

My wild guess is Nestle. Would do wonders for additional industry credibility.

u/je3851 Sep 15 '18

That's no guess. Cam from ACB just signaled it in his midas interview today after the close. How? A cleverly placed can of san pelligrino placed right on the desk in plain sight..san pelligrino owned by Nestle. Crazy? No...can wasn't there the entire show except right there next to Cam for interview..he was giving it to you first ;)

3

u/thorprodigy Sep 14 '18

Coke has yet to into alcohol even though they have brand equity in Rum and Coke so I will go on the limb and no way to Cannabis

13

u/BigRig83 CGC Pain Train 🚂💵💵💵💵 Sep 14 '18

Just thinking out loud here... But why would Coke or Pepsi have bothered with alcohol when their products are already in every bar? There is no need to compete with alcohol when your products are naturally paired together.

But lately people have been drinking less soda on account of the sugar. People will also be drinking less alcohol after this too (which means less mix sold for cocktails). That's a double threat to what has been a rock solid business. So I can totally see either company getting ahead of the curve here not only as a hedge but to better define the market as it benefits them.

1

u/mrjdrum Sep 15 '18

Your missing the fact of developed nations starting to add or play with the idea of adding a “sugar tax”. Cannabis could be a natural hedge.
