Top Cannabis Stocks For 2022
At the present time, the best marijuana stocks to buy are at new lows this week. During the week of 420, some cannabis investors seem to be exiting the space after experiencing significant declines for more than a year. In general, many investors have become disillusioned with top cannabis stocks and the steep drops most pot stocks have had since their peak in February 2021.
One reason for the decline in pot stocks is the delays with Congress in passing federal cannabis reform. Currently, the House passed the MORE Act and the Medical Marijuana Research Act in another attempt to get legislation passed in the US. Last year the MORE Act did not get passed in the Senate which could very well happen again this year. Another bill that was supposed to be introduced in April by Chuck Schumer has also been delayed again until August.
Currently, many cannabis investors feel both these bills will not have enough support to make it through the Senate. Ultimately this could leave the US cannabis industry on the same bus while other parts of the world begin advancing the global cannabis industry. But the unfortunate delays in the US could be creating an opportunity for new investors to get long on US cannabis stocks.
Long Term Investing With Top Pot Stocks In 2022
One area that has held up better than the rest of the cannabis market is marijuana REITs. Overall real estate investment trust has soared during the pandemic due to rising property values and a red-hot housing market. Cannabis REITs have provided one of the only ways for vertically integrated cannabis companies to establish leases for cultivation and processing facilities to produce cannabis. Without being able to regularly bank many US MSOs have turned to marijuana REITs to fund facility updates and continued expansions across the US.
At the present time, many of these cannabis REITs could be the best marijuana stocks to buy long term. Unlike most pot stocks many of these REITs offer a dividend to shareholders. In addition, because they are considered ancillary marijuana stocks, most already trade on major US stock exchanges giving them exposure to money managers and large institutional investors.
Before investing in top marijuana stocks, it’s important to do your own due diligence on a company. Researching a company’s financial and press releases can help you find the top-performing companies to invest in. While top cannabis stocks are down in 2022 let’s look at 3 top marijuana stocks to watch for long-term investing.
