Cannabis Stocks: Which Marijuana Companies Are Worth Watching?

What a difference a few years makes. Marijuana has gone from being a strictly illegal commodity virtually everywhere to one which is for all practical purposes legal in many U.S. states — albeit with restrictions and regulations — and totally legal as of last month in Canada. As a result, a number of public companies have sprung up to grow and wholesale the crop. But this early in newly open market, it’s still quite hazy how profitable those businesses might be, and speculation about that has led, inevitably, to seriously speculative stock price movements.

In this segment of Motley Fool Answers podcast, hosts Alison Southwick and Robert Brokamp ask David Kretzmann, who heads up The Motley Fool group that focuses on the cannabis business, to offer his best advice on which pot stocks he’d recommend today, whether a marijuana-focused ETF would be a solid choice, and how much of your portfolio should be devoted (at a maximum) to this space.

    The Israeli Parliament "Knesset", Has moved up the bill to allow worldwide distribution from The Israeli Cannabis Farms and Companies, From the 18 of December this month to the 12. As well reaserch Investors might have missed that Cronos has a "Vanguard" in Israel marked as "Cronos Israel". If the bill passes, Not only that by January "The Great Canadian ******Shortage" should replenish, But also it gives Cronos another distribution location which should increase renevue greatly and continuealy which would also make our Rocketly Stock to boost up more. I alsl predict that it would cause the Israeli community to spark against the goverment for distributing for personal use on different states but leaving its own civilians behind all the cons of health and personal usage. leading to a israeli legalization by 2021. Also, Convenient Stores Network company, ("Sufersal ; $SAE), Has openly annouced it’s enterance into the Drugstores Market, Opening 73 New stores Nation wide.

    Also, Shufersal announced making the availability of home deliery from its stores. My end conclusion: By 2022 Tops!! "The Main stockmarket Countries Leaders" will make make the whole world follow into the, Cannabies To Commodities dream. My analysis predicts that the leader Cannabis companies such as Cronos, Should rise by even 2000% and more as the market is beeing flooded as the trend rising.

    I’d appriciate any response given.

    Please note:
    I also will take no blame for CTD SERVICES LOSSES as this is solely my own opinion.

    I have been a cannabis investor for 2 years. It’s been excellent. The best you can do for yourself is Canopy, iAnthus, and Green Thumb Industries. Join the Marijuana Industry Investors Group on Facebook. Don’t miss the train; it’s leaving the station.

    What are your thoughts on aphria when it comes to its balance sheet and over all vision?



  9. Derrick C. Williams on April 15, 2019 at 9:46 pm

    Playing it ultra conservative with HEXO(ticker: HYYDF). Period end of story.



  10. Htr Lo on April 15, 2019 at 9:47 pm

    This kid talking is not very bright but the companies he is talking about are good companies. The quote he used was not from the CannTrust company CEO; it was first said by Bruce Linton of Canopy Growth.



  11. Stephen Williams on April 15, 2019 at 9:52 pm

    I am not a fool so I never take advice from someone who call themselves fools. Did he just say as foolish investors seriously?



  12. daironification on April 15, 2019 at 9:56 pm

    Why doesn’t he just get to the point?



  13. Neil Ouellette on April 15, 2019 at 9:57 pm

    They don’t give you the ticker names unless you pay them for it. Right after Altria "Marlboro" invested 1.65 billion dollars in CRON stock on Dec.7th 2018, the stock flew up in value. This affected Motley Fools pay for cannabis stock choice business, big time. So Motley Fool publicized late Tues. Dec. 11th that Altria "Marlboro" grossly overpaid for their share of CRON Stock and warned investors about investing in CRON because it affected Motley Fools pay for ticket names business. CRON stock tumbled 4% the next day because of this false statement by Motley Fool. Be aware of Motley Fool pay as you go bullshit business and their business practices.

  15. Joe Strandell on April 15, 2019 at 9:57 pm

    3:30 are you trying to say Cronos? Isn’t it said like Sonos?



  16. Phe Travis on April 15, 2019 at 10:00 pm

    Why not mention the ticker for the names of these companies you are referencing? That would be helpful.



  17. King Cesar on April 15, 2019 at 10:01 pm

  18. Ace Degenerate on April 15, 2019 at 10:01 pm

  25. Dr. Tim Nguyen on April 15, 2019 at 10:15 pm

    I like cbdd and hemp stock currently, but am unsure if they are worth the risk! they seem to be doing well though. do you think the farm bill passage will allow these stocks to thrive now? without being bashed by the government?



  26. jetrex detroit on April 15, 2019 at 10:19 pm
