After struggling in the second half of 2020, cannabis stocks are off to a hot start in 2020.
The cannabis stock fund Alternative Harvest (MJ) is up 11% in the first two weeks of the year.
Many individual stocks are up even more.
Canopy Growth Corp (WEED, CGC) is up 25% in 2020 and up 65% from the 52-week low in late November. On the chart Canopy has broken the downtrend that was in play in the second half of 2019 and has developed a strong level of support around $25. This looks like a reversal and the beginning of a new trend higher.
5 Reasons Cannabis Stocks are Rallying in 2020
I see five reasons cannabis stocks are off to such a strong start in 2020.
- Cannabis stocks were deeply oversold after struggling in 2019.
- Cannabis sales in Canada are accelerating now that extracts such as edibles and vapes are legal.
- Illinois’s cannabis market is off to a very hot start, with over $20 million in sales in the first two weeks.
- Up to 11 US states will vote on legalizing medical or recreational cannabis in 2020.
- Worries over the ‘vape crisis’ are washing away.
When you add it all together the cannabis sector is benefiting from some very powerful forces. And looking forward I am expecting more gains.
What Should We Expect Moving Forward?
