Sellers Are At It Again, But This Time It’s The Insiders
In 2018, shares of Tilray, went from $17 per share in July to just over $300 in August, an increase of more than 600%. With a market cap at that reached over $10 billion, but with only sales of $28 million short sellers saw an opportunity.
Short interest on the stock spiked to about 3.5 million shares, approximately a third of the company’s overall float. Many short sellers got burned on the way up, but the lucky few made a killing on the way down.
Because Tilray isn't producing much cannabis now and its peak annual output is nothing to write home about for a company with a $5.5 billion market cap, losses are likely for 2019 and 2020.
However, the start of the second quarter brought with it a new round of selling for Kennedy and Pastorius. According to recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Kennedy disposed of a little more than 106,100 shares of Tilray stock at an average price of $63.44 on April 1 and April 2 for a grand total of $6.7 million in proceeds. Meanwhile, Pastorius sold a little more than 46,500 shares on April 1 and April 2 for about $3 million.
Corporate officers and members of the board of directors have deeper insight into a company's operations than any analyst or hedge fund. Quite simply, they are in the top tier when it comes to the Smart Money. The insider investment strategy is an investment strategy that follows the buying and selling decisions of insiders.
And when I look at the chart, the chart suggests further downside. The two levels that should slow down price, if not reverse price is the daily demand at $38 or $29.
This post is my personal opinion. I’m not a financial advisor, this isn't financial advise. Do your own research before making investment decisions.
Rolland, are you apart of a guild? I'm trying to build a community on Steemvoter called Asset Guild. https://beta.steemvoter.com/explore/guild/AssetGuild
I have a lot of respect for your work and I think your content might make you a good fit to be a curator.
Let me know if you're interested!
Thanks @cryptomeeks for the compliment. I'm not with any guild, just belong to TIMM. What would be the role of the curator ?
I would add you on as a curator and anyone following the guild would auto-vote our posts.
I'm trying to make the guild investment related and I think you have great insight for it.
I'm down, as long as you don't mind my TIMM tag at the bottom of my posts. If that's not a problem, I look forward to contributing. Please advise on next steps.
That doesn't bother me at all.
I've added you as a curator on steemvoter. All you have to do is tag your posts with "Assetguild" and followers of the guild will auto upvote.
What would help this thing grow big time is:
a) look for like-minded individuals with good content
b)promote the steemvoter guild in your posts so people follow it and support

I've been watching this. While in the short term this is very bad news for the company, Insiders selling their positions means room is being made for a big player to step in for acquisition to turn this company around.
Finally! A chart worst than bitcoin! Talk about bubbles! Still an interesting sector for the medium to long term!
