Well, that might be usual bubble and TBH, those stock has no other features then rise or fall. IMHO weed fill sure not push America "forward". Whereas cryptocurrency already have features that can support the economy and change a lot of things in the world.
but like cryptocurrencies, the pot industry isn't going anywhere. at the state level, things have progressed past the point of no return. it's only a matter of time before the feds come around and reschedule cannabis. that'll probably cause another cycle of new investment.
I'd say pot industry has better fundamentals than cryptocurrencies, millions of people were smoking weed illegally, now even more will join, especially as more states and governments legalize it. Maybe at some point weed will even flip alcohol as most common drug. Kinda hard to compare weeds adoption with cryptocurrency adoption when most of the coins have almost no users, and even popular coins mostly used only as speculative investment.
The newest fad volatile industry: marijuana stocks.
I didn't even know that Marijuana stocks are a thing, and before I know it, stupid fucks enter that market as well. Yes, legal weed is currently in a bubble. People are being just as stupid here as they were with Bitcoin. Canopy currently has a market cap of $12.3 billion on sales TTM sales of just under $88 million. Tilray is far worse with a market cap of $19.7 billion on TTM sales of $27.6 million. Anyone buying Tilray at these prices is making an astoundingly risky bet for what I consider to be very limited upside. The other two companies, Aurora and Aphira, fund their operations by printing shares and devaluing current investors. I consider them to be the spam coin equivalent of the two larger companies. There are dozens of others, these are just four of the largest I consider to be the biggest players.
Insane stats, its a marijuana stock, so people would even bet their entire live savings on it. Part of the reason these companies have to fund acquisitions through share issuance is because they are cut off from a lot of traditional loans and funding by virtue of their business. In the US, for example, none of these companies would be able to get a line of credit or even a bank account because any bank that deals with them would be violating federal law. So they fund acquisitions through the only currency they have available to them: their own stock. It makes sense logically, but it's not something you want to see as a stockholder because your ownership is being rapidly diluted.
As for the market potential, Canada is a very limited market (where these companies are based) but Tilray and Canopy have deals with European countries to export and Canopy is setting up overseas operations for a time when these countries would rather have domestic production over imports, so they are expanding their addressable markets. The US is a major untapped market but I feel like these prices already factor in full federal legalization and a mature market. The valuations are quite lofty.
Canada is definitely not the best markets for marijuana from what I have heard, US would be the best. But its a "federal crime". Lol. Just like the 9/11.

But don't worry, the majority of these marijuana stock investors would be from the US, they are just in disguise to protect themselves.

it's certainly feeling like a bubble. it'll be interesting to see who emerges on top in a few years, when all the dust settles. tilray got way over-hyped because it was the first public pot stock on the nasdaq.

Extremely overpriced, I would advise everyone to stay far away from marijuana stocks. "Once it becomes more legal and laws become more relaxed their profit margins will shrink to almost nothing since people will be able to easily grow their own.
we are a very long way from market saturation. there is an incredible amount of new demand. it's actually fucking annoying as a consumer---like 80% of the people i see in the shops now are normie weekend warrior types who take forever at the counter because they've smoked weed like twice in their life.
and there's no way most people will ever grow their own. especially when you consider how hyper-consumerist society is now. growing takes months of preparation, hard work and often good luck (regarding weather, unless you have good indoor growing space).

I should have read all of this before trying for 10 minutes to understand those numbers and how and why they've grown 94.75% in 3 months and 44.17% in six.
But this is really a weird strategy, they are diluting their own shares if so and most of the money goes on acquisitions...

and this is only from wiki which sucks at financial stuff.
I really wonder who is putting that money in, 4 billion investment in a company based in a market that might reach 32 billion by 2022 is a bit of overkill.

Cannabis industry is truly in a great bump, as you can see most of its stokes are sold in big markets. Thus industry is also making profit to the the holders and people are just supporting the legislation in a massive amount all over the world.

Holy cow, I didn't think any of those companies would be listed on any of the major exchanges. I was wrong--I thought most of these pot stocks were only on the OTC exchange.
Anyway, it's a huge thing in the US now, although my state hasn't yet made marijuana completely legal. It's a good thing that at least CBD was made legal so far. As far as those stocks go, I agree that it's very much a fad and I wouldn't touch any of them until everything is settled and they're profitable. I took a quick look at CGC and it looks like they're operating at a loss.
Much like the internet stocks in the 90s, it's really risky when a company has LOTS of competition but no profits. I'm assuming that with all the marijuana companies, there will be only one or two emerging as the leaders and the rest will be bought out or otherwise go out of business.

Many pot stocks are OTC, however these four are all on major exchanges. None of these companies even service the US though due to federal drug laws, and to my knowledge, no domestic supplier is able to list their stock on an exchange for the same reason. Right now, you have Canopy and Aurora with the two largest production capacities, and CGC received a $4 billion investment from Constellation Brands (a very large liquor maker) earlier this year. Adding to the mania is that Coca-Cola has said they are "watching" this space and a couple other large alcohol companies are said to be weighing the benefits of acquiring one of these marijuana companies after the Constellation deal. (I believe Diageo is confirmed to be actively considering.)
All of that together has made this the new bubble as investors desperately try to FOMO their way into profits.
