Are These The Best Marijuana Stocks To Buy And Hold In 2022?
Are you looking for top marijuana stocks to buy while the market is down? To start 2022 most of the best cannabis stocks to invest in have established new lows in January trading. Ultimately current instability in the market has kept the cannabis sector trading near these new lows as trading progressed in February. At the beginning of the month renewed attempts to continue to push federal cannabis reform sparked an uptrend with pot stocks.
But this uptrend has been stifled by the possibility of war on the horizon. Although the cannabis sector is down currently the industry itself has been growing significantly. In the past few years, many leading cannabis companies have expanded rapidly across the US as new markets are being established. One area of the cannabis market that has supported the industry’s growth is ancillary cannabis companies. Ancillary cannabis companies do not touch the actual plant instead they support industry growth in some way.
Supplying hydroponic equipment, lighting and organic nutrients needed to grow cannabis is one example of an ancillary company. Another would be those companies that work with state-licensed cannabis companies like cannabis real estate investment trusts. These companies allow vertically integrated cannabis companies to expand their cultivation facilities and raise capital through triple net leases and loans.
