RE:New guy looking for insight
I'm very new as well and the best way to make solid gains in this sector right now is buy and hold. That's what I have done so far being as novice as you can get (about a year in) and it's been very successful.
If you have made profit, want to sell, and take it, go nuts. If you made money then it was a good decision. IMO if you want to make more, just hold and hold and hold.
As for Aurora being in a stalemate... I think they are eventually bought or absorbed by CGC so me selling my shares at this point wouldn't make a ton of sense.
If you made quick gains and need the money, sell. If you are an investor in this sector and believe in the product and social aspects of the product, hold.
