3 Marijuana Stocks That Are Top Picks From Investors
Marijuana stock investors are trying to remain as patient as they can before the new year. Right now there is a lot of anticipation for this upcoming year. In 2024 we will witness even more growth from the cannabis industry. This year we will see various companies expand through M&A and strategic partnerships. Not just expansion but the initiation of different projects that aim to add more value to the sector.
The more progress that is made whether it’s increased sales or products it can the lead to seeing better trading. With how volatile the sector is the slightest negative or positive catalyst can make the difference. For instance, when there is bad news it leads to a decline versus good news which leads to a rise in trading. Yet this is not always the case but when there is a decline the upside is finding top marijuana stocks to buy at cheap entry levels.
Now if there is a rise in trading this is where most would take profits. There has been lots of money made but some still fear a federal shutdown. Even still there has been a large amount of money and progress made without federal reform so it is doubtful that a shutdown will occur. In fact, there is an ongoing battle to pass federal legislation for cannabis and establish comprehensive reform. These factors listed above are just a few reasons as to why there is strong optimism for marijuana stock investing in 2024.
