"Day Two of this year's Growth Capital Expo is devoted entirely
to the innovations in the capital markets resulting from the
democratization of capital investment embodied in the JOBS Act,"
said Brett Goetschius, Editor and Publisher of Growth Capital
Investor, and co-host of the Expo. "It's where Wall Street
meets Crowd Street. And I can think of no better example where the
sentiment of the crowd is driving markets harder and faster than in
the area of marijuana-related goods and services. The people are
speaking, with their actions, their votes and their dollars.
Investors ignore them at their peril."
