Patience (+ new patients) is key. Longs will be rewarded. Short selling was banned for financial stocks because false rumours and misinformation were being spread, and manipulative short selling caused unjust downward pressure, leading to a decline in the share prices of the banks, which then led to a lack of confidence in the banks themselves. This short selling ban applies to just 13 Canadian Banks and Insurance companies. Canadian weed stocks are not protected -hence the current downward pressure. False information is being spread to force lower share prices, however, the strength of the Canadian Marijuana industry will be clearly apparent shortly after legalization. We are likely to see implementation of a standardized accounting system to allow investors access to information needed to make informed decisions. By year end 2018 with preliminary sales revenue reports available and the success of the industry will be evident. Watch for a rebound in MJ share prices in late Spring 2018 and a strong bullish sentiment going into summer ahead of fall legalization.
