Tilray has more market share in this country than in Canada

men harvesting weed

It's both good and bad news for the company's investors.

The U.S. pot market is the golden goose for the marijuana industry. According to analysts from cannabis research firm BDSA, it will be worth $34.5 billion by 2025. That's nearly six times the Canadian market, which will only be at a value of $6.1 billion by then. And internationally, cannabis sales may not be much higher at $6.5 billion.

With the U.S. pot market off-limits to Canadian marijuana company Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY), the business has been forced to look to other markets to grow its operations. And one surprising consequence of that is the business now has more market share in a European country than it does in its home base.

Banks seem to be getting extremely bearish on the Canadian cannabis sector

banks

During the last year, leading Canadian broker-dealers have been downgrading Canadian Licensed Producers’ (LPs) rating on average. The banks have also been lowering price targets for Canadian LPs and we consider this to be a bearish indicator. (Click here for full article)

Although we continue to hope to see a change in trend with rating and price target that are assigned to leading Canadian and United States (US) cannabis operators, the trend has continued so far this year.

Employer's ban on medical cannabis discriminatory: arbitrator

Zero-tolerance policies don't usually hold up, even in safety-sensitive workplaces, says lawyer

Zero-tolerance policies usually don’t hold up to legal scrutiny, particularly when human rights are involved.

An Ontario arbitrator reinforced that concept when it ruled that an employer’s total prohibition of medical cannabis for a safety-sensitive position was discriminatory — a decision that’s not surprising to Sharaf Sultan, an employment lawyer and principal of Sultan Lawyers in Toronto.

“Many employers may think that if they say they have a zero-tolerance policy that it’s black and white, but in context of human rights, that isn't usually the case.”

Inside the stock market mayhem: How the COVID bump collapsed – and why it echoes the cannabis crash

hands on computer

Forget everything you learned about investing in the past year.

Last January, when meme stocks such as GameStop Corp. and BlackBerry Ltd. were soaring, retail traders who swapped investing ideas on Reddit message boards were talked about as the future of finance. Unprofitable growth stocks were some of the hottest investments to own, especially in the tech sector. And the more money a company lost, the more likely its stock would soar.

Resource companies, meanwhile, were dead in the water because investors had embraced ESG principles.
