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.

    at 50 an eighth they will all lose money ,the avg smoker will go black market because the quality of industrial weed isint as good as regs were 25 years ago but the younger kids dont realize it. The only way it could be profitable is bring down the price but have plenty of product and they cant combine those 2 ideas because pot is a commodity and has to be grown properly and not rushed but with all the business interests they dont care. Its like a guy with a great italian family run restaurant that trys to franchise it out to 50 states ,it could never be as good. I was a stock broker and commodity broker , weed should stay private market going public wont work . I would never go long pot , i would smoke it but never invest in this market .

    Where does HEMP.INC fit into this far reaching program.



  4. Luke Harrington on May 14, 2021 at 6:53 pm

    $650,000 profit with CANNABIS company stock (HIPH), management about to launch CBD cosmetic product. >>



  5. GYM STAR ENT on May 14, 2021 at 6:53 pm

    Canntrust down 88% and ETF MJ only down 50% since he made these comments. Moment of silence to those who followed his advice🙏



  6. Mister ? on May 14, 2021 at 6:53 pm

    Prre= sleeper stock (They rent properties to growers and have properties in illionoi$ which starts selling legally in may 2020)



  7. K Pax on May 14, 2021 at 6:56 pm

    Looking back at this. Is Canntrust still a buy? I know they got into a bit of regulation trouble lately and their stock prices dropped dramatically.



  8. Rambis on May 14, 2021 at 6:56 pm

    #1: ACB
    #2: TGOD
    #3: WEED
    #4: Bearish market so maybe plan for a long term entry but keep watching at this point, opportunities are coming with this market blood bath! You’re welcome, glhf.

    I wouldn’t invest a nickle. The industry really shows its immaturity by not even being able to identify the negative news from every illegal BHO (hash oil) explosion as a full blown crisis and managing it. They have ignored a decade of destruction. Lloyd’s of London "suddenly and unexpectedly" lost faith and exited the industry in 2015 and nobody could figure out why. Ya think the 100 million in BHO property damage the year before might have had something to do with it? That’s what people like me call a clue. Now a new trend is poised to exponentially increase BHO explosions. They wont survive. In 2010 4 US Attorneys mailed landlords warning they could lose their property and 2/3 of the dispensaries closed. If communities start burning the Government could and would drop a heavy hammer on this industry. They spread hubris instead of humus and Nemesis is coming for dinner. Industries and organizations that do not proactively manage their reputation will not survive. Every expert school of business says so. It is just a matter of time. Now there is a vape cartridge jacked up lungs crisis, watch the NCIA will remain silent. This is another crisis next it will be botulism. The collective reputation of an outlaw industry needs managed better than legal industries not not at all. This industry is doomed Im sorry to say.

    Did he say Kintrust?



  13. Stephen Williams on May 14, 2021 at 7:00 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?

    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.

    concentrated smoke like weed. it does not allow the lungs to heal.
    vaping dabbing and even regular ital smoking destroys ur lungs. only recently
    did folks start doing this all day long everyday. years from now like sunny
    delight the drink in England results will show what im saying.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SunnyD

    In December 1999, according to a report by BBC News, the negative
    publicity escalated when a Sunny Delight television commercial showing a
    snowman turning orange was released, at about the same time as reports of a
    four year old girl who experienced her skin turning orange – due to the
    product’s use of beta-Carotene for color – after drinking an estimated 1.5 litres
    of Sunny Delight a day.

  20. Dr. Tim Nguyen on May 14, 2021 at 7:12 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?



  21. jetrex detroit on May 14, 2021 at 7:13 pm

  32. Htr Lo on May 14, 2021 at 7:23 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.



  33. FoFo FoReal on May 14, 2021 at 7:24 pm

    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.



  36. Phe Travis on May 14, 2021 at 7:26 pm

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

    Am thinking of getting some canopy growth



  42. Joel Thornton on May 14, 2021 at 7:35 pm

    Any video that recommends Cann Trust needs to be pulled as dated.



  43. Joe Strandell on May 14, 2021 at 7:36 pm

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



  44. bitebetsy on May 14, 2021 at 7:36 pm

    CGC – Canopy



  45. Meki N on May 14, 2021 at 7:36 pm

    You can’t talk marijuana stocks without mentioning aurora

    Hello please reply to my comment



  47. Omer Livnat on May 14, 2021 at 7:37 pm

    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.



  48. Apollo Valetudo on May 14, 2021 at 7:39 pm

    FSD Pharma recently got the nod from Nasdaq to share their stocks. So investing in marijuana stocks may be a good place for investors to consider.



  49. Scotty N on May 14, 2021 at 7:39 pm

    hexo and acb for me, jmo.
