im not into stocks really but how did the cannabis stocks do?
i know the sales went up during the pandemic seems like one of the few that probably kept or maybe even gained value
remember you guys talking about them before curious if anybody still had or bought into some
Depends on when you bought.
If you bought before spring 2019 and sold before the crash that happened shortly after you would be alright.
Those who bought in 2015/2016 and sold a few years later made a killing. I am being very general in broad terms of how pot stocks are doing. There is outliers.
For me I bought into Aurora Canabis at $7 a share. Worst mistake I ever made investing.
Down a lot of money now. Worst $1000 I have ever spent. Two lessons learned from that:
Look at the numbers more closely. I invested based on emotion instead of looking at raw numbers. Anyone with half a brain could see how overvalued the sector was at the time. Numbers matter. Prices were driven up by emotional investors like me who wanted
to see the industry do well despite knowing they were buying an overvalued stock. Also when signs were obvious to sell I stubbornly held on. Learned to cut my losses and have not made the same mistake since.
I am also avoiding anything heavily regulated by government. They managed to make the legal sale of marijuana unprofitable.... Imagine that. What a complete botch. I won't go near anything they are so closely involved in again.
/e the share price appears to be very high right now but that is due to a consolidation of shares after an acquisition. The shares were split at a 12 to 1 ratio, so in reality a stock I bought for $7 a share is worth about $1.75 a share. I got the absolute shit kicked out of me on that one lol.
