Cannabis Stocks To Watch In
2018
Featuring Symbol (OTCQB:FRLF)
Does the Sessions memo of January 4th teach us anything
about what Cannabis stocks to watch in 2018?
Although the “Sessions' memo” actually did nothing to change the
current status of marijuana in the US the immediate reaction within
the Cannabis stocks sector was an immediate decline in share price
with some stocks falling as much as 30%.
We saw a nice bounce back up to “pre-memo” levels last week with
some stocks rising significantly as investors started to
recognize both the challenges and opportunities within the cannabis
sector. It turns out that the Sessions memo did provide some
valuable insight into what Cannabis stocks to watch in 2018. If
that memo had been an actual directive to begin prosecuting
companies involved in the sale or distribution of marijuana the
effects could have been devastating on those stocks whose companies
are involved in the actual sale of a federally controlled
substance. A similar situation exists on the banking side of the
equation. The federal government still controls the banking
industry and without support federally those companies involved in
the sale of marijuana are still facing banking challenges.
These challenges have also identified key opportunities within the
cannabis sector. With 80% of the states and 60% of the US
population in favor of legalization at some level the Cannabis
industry is still expected to expand exponentially over the coming
years to the benefit of those investors who choose
wisely.
When making an
investment in a cannabis sector stock
consider.
- Is the company
operating within a legal aspect of the industry? There are
a number of good public companies within the cannabis sector that
don’t actually sell cannabis. Media, Advertising, Editorial,
Security, IT and support services all benefit from the expansion of
the cannabis movement without being involved in federally illegal
activities.
- Is the company
diversified? A company with a single product or service,
especially one that is relying on states’ rights for their revenue
stream is a significantly higher risk than one involved in multiple
aspects of the industry. Here we also look at an international
component. Those public companies that have also expanded into the
international markets have further diversified their operations and
protected their investors.
- Is the company
filling a niche supporting the expansion of the overall
industry? The big winners of the movement could be those
companies that support all the others. Benefiting from a huge
client base in an expanding
industry.
