Trade To Black Podcast 16: MSOS Trying To Find Bottom, Though Headwinds Remain

In this week’s Trade To Black Podcast, we again speak with Benjamin A. Smith with Anthony Varrell about the sectors that we cover. We focus on U.S. cannabis: with the hope of federal legislative action discounted in the near term, the focus shifts towards 2022 has commenced. It’s a tricky investing environment, with AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF (MSOS) still searching for bottom to stem the non-stop hemorrhaging that has taken place in 2021. The plurality of market watchers expect a rebound and sentiment remains high, but the headwinds of slower quarter-over-quarter growth and an uncertain regulatory environment remain. This is countered by the fact that Tier-1 MSOS remain very cheap according to growth valuation metrics, and its longer-term prospects look outstanding.

As usual, we also cover the crypto/NFT and psychedelics markets in the aftermath.
