RE:Heres my speculation... Take it as speculation Yes, this sector needs to rid of CannTrust so it can move forward. If we're going to speculate on the next round, I am game for that:
Sometime in the next 2-3wks will be the final verdict of CannTrust and that, IMO, will be negative. That will be the last straw for the whole sector to get dragged with it.
Come October provinces will begin annoucing their new product agreements. Provinces have been, and continue to be vetting through their procurement processes since June. The final 3 provinces end mid-September.
These announcements are far more important than JV press releases from the sector. Reason being is that there is already a saturation of product types trying to come to market and therefore many products will in fact be denied. Additionally some products will not be able to get their licensing in order in time and will miss their marks.
Therefore what will actually happen is a divide in the sector. Those who get agreements will soar, those who are left out of the agreements will crater. Oils firms who create both their own products and supply inputs to other firms will net high value.
For instance I know that only about 15% of the beverages being offered to OCS will actually make it to the shelves.
Don't trade on JV press releases, trade on MOU's from the provinces.

Canntrust before the news was trading at $6.50 CAD , technically by the amount its peers dropped by comparison, it should be trading at low $5s to high $4s...
Not too far off now is it when you see in that perspective, yet theyll say its lost 60% just on this...
This downtrend is about to change to a strong uptrend so shorts are going to push as hard now as possible.. Weak earnings, non compliance issues continued into downward strength.
But you are very naive if you believe that starting next week or first week of September after labour day that this all changes..
Edibles, Topicals & Beverages bring an even broader market than traditional cannabis, companies are sitting on deals made, new JVs, mergers, partners..
Im not a pumper by any means, but youd be foolish to try and think otherwise until December when they hit stores.. Buy hype
sell news..
Patents and submissions were sent in July for several companies regarding bevs and edibles..
I believe the bleeding is about to dry up.. But hey just speculation.. or maybe im an insider on a beverage company, I have met the CEO of Monster... see what i did there Pulv ... ;)
I dont know what’ll happen to TRST, frankly i dont care but its in my best interest for this to be resolved for the sector..
