Cannabis Stocks And Market Declines Right Now
Currently, top marijuana stocks continue to decline in the market to close out the third week in August. After reaching new highs in the first quarter of 2021 most cannabis stocks to invest in have continued to drop in value and are now trading lower than when they entered the year. For the most part, investors seem to have given up on federal cannabis reform in 2021.
Unfortunately for them, these will be the same investors that chase cannabis stocks higher once the announcement is made. As the market value for the cannabis sector continues to fall new investors may have the opportunity to invest in the cannabis market at much lower price points. This could give them a much better chance at making gains in their positions. In 2021 leading cannabis companies have experienced strong revenue growth as the cannabis industry grows on a state level.
This has not done anything for top pot stocks in the market. Instead, most top marijuana stocks continue to shed value as the year progresses. One event that would change how the cannabis sector trades is changes in federal cannabis legislation. So far in 2021, we have not seen any of the previous legislation that passed in the House get any mention. As we continue to wait for Chuck Schumer’s bill to be formally introduced the stall could only be because of lack of support.
