Why Aurora Cannabis, Aphria, Cronos Group, and Other Marijuana Stocks Crashed Today

Traders are bailing out of pot stocks. But should they be?

What happened

Cannabis stocks plunged on Thursday as traders rushed to take profits in companies that analysts say have seen their share prices rise too far, too fast.

Here’s how some of the most popular marijuana stocks were performing as of 2:15 p.m. EST.

So what

Pot stocks have caught the attention of traders on Reddit and other social media sites in recent weeks. Spurred by their excitement about the possibility of federal marijuana legalization in the U.S. now that the Democrats control the Senate, the House of Representatives, and the White House, many traders in the 8.9 million-member WallStreetBets Reddit group have ramped up their bets on weed stocks.

Up until the market close on Wednesday, that optimism had been playing out well for investors. Many cannabis stocks had more than doubled since the beginning of the year

Now what

However, analysts have been cautioning investors that in the wake of these torrid gains, the prices of many marijuana stocks no longer reflect the fundamental values of their underlying businesses. On Wednesday, many traders seemingly decided to pay attention to these warnings and sell their shares.

Still, cannabis remains one of the largest growth opportunities for investors in the coming decade. And if the stock prices of industry leaders such as Canopy Growth and Aphria pull back even further in the coming days, it’s possible that long-term-minded investors could find some intriguing bargains.

 

Here’s The Marijuana Stock You’ve Been Waiting For

A little-known Canadian company just unlocked what some experts think could be the key to profiting off the coming marijuana boom.

And make no mistake – it is coming.

Cannabis legalization is sweeping over North America – 15 states plus Washington, D.C., have all legalized recreational marijuana over the last few years, and full legalization came to Canada in October 2018.

And one under-the-radar Canadian company is poised to explode from this coming marijuana revolution.

Because a game-changing deal just went down between the Ontario government and this powerhouse company…and you need to hear this story today if you have even considered investing in pot stocks.
