10. Supreme Acquisition Has Canada’s Largest Cannabis LP Poised To Grow Even Bigger
Canopy Growth, Canada’s Largest Cannabis Licensed Producer Appears Set to for Another Major Growth Spurt Following the Company’s Suprise Announcement That it Would Be Acquiring Rival LP Supreme Cannabis
Canopy Growth WEED CGC (FRA: 11L1) announced recently that it would be acquiring Supreme Cannabis FIRE SPRWF (FRA: 53S1) for a cool $435 million. It’s a somewhat curious move, as Canopy Growth has been divesting, not acquiring, Canadian assets recently. Reaction from investors has been muted, as the stock price has not seen a large swing in either direction since the deal was announced.
9. Champignon Brands Announces Revocation Of Cease Trade Orders
Following the Revocation of the Cease Trade Orders and the CSE’s Acceptance of Champignon’s New Listing Statement, the Company’s Common Shares Recommenced Trading on the CSE
Champignon Brands SHRM SHRMF (FRA: 496) announced that the British Columbia Securities Commission and Ontario Securities Commission revoked their cease trade orders against the company effective April 22, 2021. “We are pleased to be moving forward with a strengthened team and focus on governance. We have successfully advanced our business strategy to establish a network of clinics designed to provide rapid-acting treatments for adults with depression,” said Dr. Roger McIntyre, Chairman and CEO. “Depression is known to be one of the most disabling conditions across Canada and around the world. In addition, we have also been able to advance our research and development towards discovering novel drug treatments for individuals affected by depression.”
Stock Warrants Function in Much the Same Way That Stock Options Do, Giving the Owner the Right to Buy or Sell Shares of a Company at a Specific Price
Where options and warrants defer is where the money goes when the contract is exercised. While options trade on exchanges and all the money is going between investors, shares associated with warrants will be newly issued by the company. So warrants provide the company with additional funding sources when exercised, while investors reap the reward of buying additional discounted shares. If the warrants are being exercised, it’s usually a win-win situation, as the company’s share price has usually risen a significant amount (and they get the cash). The investor makes a nice gain on their investment. Let’s take a closer look at the warrants of top U.S. Multi-State Operators (MSOs) Red White & Bloom RWB RWBYF, Cresco Labs CL CRLBF, Ayr Strategies AYR AYRSF and Trulieve TRUL TCNNF.

2. Which Cannabis Stocks To Buy? Stick With U.S. Multi-State Operators
The U.S. is the Market to Be in, and There’s One Easy Way to Buy All the Most Promising Pot Stocks
The U.S. is the market investors should hang their hat on. Already, numbers here are crushing it in terms of both growth and revenue. What’s more amazing is cannabis isn’t even federally legal yet. There is plenty of upside still to be had. These results can be seen in the recent quarterly earnings from a top name, Cresco Labs CL CRLBF. These are numbers Canadian Licensed Producers (LPs) can only dream about. Other leading U.S Multi-State Operators (MSOs) include Curaleaf CURA CURLF, Ayr Strategies AYR AYRSF, and Green Thumb GTII GTBIF (FRA: R9U2). The fact these companies can’t list on the NASDAQ or NYSE is a disgrace, but I digress; therefore, the simplest approach is to buy the AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF MSOS.
