Did anyone do their DD on Citadel?
Home of Ken fn Griffen…

Citadel is a major global financial powerhouse, primarily known for two closely related but legally distinct entities owned by founder Ken Griffin: the multi-strategy hedge fund Citadel LLC and the market-making firm Citadel Securities.Citadel LLC (the hedge fund)

• Assets under management (AUM): Roughly $66–68 billion as of early 2026 (sources cite ~$65.9 billion for end-2025 and more than $67 billion as of January 2026). It routinely returns capital to investors (e.g., ~$5 billion of 2025 profits), so AUM stays more moderate than some peers despite strong performance.

Great Q2 report from the village

Anyone interested in helping a newbie along? Need some editing help to prep my awesome song for upload to spot/apple. What is your price?

First harvest from the D2 expansion is done. This is from phase one, it will be interesting to see how much gets sold (after drying and processing) in June (end of q2).
I would like to see Mike turn around and announce that they are going to start converting the first 25% of D1 over to cannabis. Mike likes to play it safe and wait till he knows that he can sell what he’s about to plant. which I agree is a good strategy but on the other hand, he said in 2025 they left 50 million on the table because they couldn’t fill orders so it’s a catch 22. It’d be nice to have the confidence and say the market is growing we’re gonna go ahead and start converting so that we’re ready as the market grows. For example, glass house has no certainty that they can ship interstate commerce or export to the EU market, but they went ahead and announced that they are adding on 1,000,000 ft.² of grow space.

So what is going on here? As already reported the Msos etf sold 2 million shares which is half of the current holding at the closing bell on Friday, which is the last trading day before earnings announced on Monday. So I’m a vFF Bull and I know there are good things coming with the additional capacity coming online, but I know that that’s not coming online this quarter and then we’ll see be some additional expenses related to those expansions, so I could see traders pulling the plug in case earnings is bad but I’ve been following the space and investing since 2017 following online platforms, such as TDR, have seen countless interviews with Dan ahrens (the fund manager) and my take from that is trading these types of events isn’t normal course. On one thought when BFF was originally added to MSOS it was around the time that the Texas teacup license were coming out and at that time everyone was scratching their heads as to why it was being added to the US etf. my thoughts were that maybe Dan thought they were gonna get a license and therefore they would be on the way to becoming a MSO so he went ahead and added them and this recent news with the Texas teacup licenses showing that now a village didn’t get picked first round second round or wasn’t picked after other ones were became in eligible. If anyone else caught the interview with VFFCEO and Pablo last week on Thursday or Friday, I forget the day Michael came out and said as he said before that and I’m not gonna quote him here, I’m just gonna say it my words is that the MSO‘s are gonna face a wrecking ball when interstate commerce comes online. So essentially he just put a serious downgrade on every other holding in the ETF. Does anybody else think that this could’ve caused Dan to do this much of a hammering on the stock like literally watch the videos he says over and over and over again, oh yeah, we’re always trying to make moves without affecting the market prices. This feels different to me. Dan Ahrens AdvisorShares… reach out and ask him what’s up?

My takeaway’s…
- Some of the BC expansion plants ready for harvest next week. - The new facility in the Netherlands was built with the option to add a second floor.
