bostonangler Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Marijuana stocks surged Wednesday morning after Canada legalized the drug. The Canadian Marijuana Index, an aggregate measurement of all publicly-listed marijuana stocks in Canada, was up 3.34% as of 10:45 a.m. on Wednesday. The overall North American index, which includes US stocks, was up 2.28%. Golden Leaf Holdings, a Canadian Securities Exchange-listed cannabis company, was the biggest gainer with the stock surging 6.81%. Overall, legalized marijuana is expected to be a boon for Canada's economy. CIBC, one of the country's largest banks, predicts Canada's legal marijuana market will be a $6.5 billion industry by 2020. A number of Canadian marijuana firms, including Aurora Cannabis and Canopy Growth Corp are seeing a wave of investor excitement around marijuana legalization. Marijuana companies are capitalizing on all that liquidity to go on acquisition sprees. http://www.businessinsider.com/cannabis-legalization-in-canada-marijuana-stocks-surging-2018-6 B/A 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
