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.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
