All about 420? Try 420 Investing!
Lately, there has been a lot of drive towards investing in cannabis. After the 2020 presidential election, with the establishment of a Democratic presidential administration and Congress, there were high hopes in the industry, evident by the increase in stock prices. Although there have been disappointments because of slow progress towards federal cannabis legalization, leading shares to fall rapidly. Therein, you have your opportunity to invest in cannabis stocks. Right now, you may not get much of a return. After all, in the eyes of the federal government, it’s still illegal, which means the cost of capital, compliance, and taxes are higher. However, if it becomes legal, the valuation of these companies will explode, making your investment more likely to be quite valuable. For right now, don’t expect a huge return from cannabis investments (or, any return until growth continues).
Whoa, investing in 420? Absolutely and here are some of the top picks.
