Cannabis investors remain in a depressed state, despite several potentially bullish developments that could move stocks in the sector up significantly over the next year.

Back on August 28 and September 3, I suggested buying cannabis stocks in the severe weakness that put a lot of cannabis investors in a deeply distressed state. I cited the excessive negativity and the potential for a bullish update from presidential candidate Donald Trump on his cannabis policy.

On September 9 we got the Trump update, and it was very bullish for the sector. Cannabis stocks moved up sharply.

On Tuesday morning I suggested traders might want to take some profits in positions accumulated the week before, because of a possible dearth of catalysts on the near-term horizon. I also suggested maintaining long-term exposure to the group.
