We often use the terms “retail” and “institutional” to describe two types of investors. Generally speaking, a retail investor is anyone who invests on their own behalf. In other words, it’s your average Joe with a brokerage account. If said person’s net worth exceeds a certain threshold, they’re considered to be “accredited.” While accredited shouldn’t be […]
The Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) is an alternative stock exchange in Canada that “began operations in 2003 to provide a modern and efficient alternative for companies looking to access the Canadian public capital markets.” It’s also become a haven for cannabis stocks lately. We downloaded the most recent list of stocks that trade on the […]
Way back when we first started looking at investing in nanotechnology, we noted how prevalent over-the-counter (OTC) stocks are. Wherever there’s an exciting technology, there’s always an OTC company sprouting up that claims to offer a pure-play opportunity for retail investors.

We never cease to be amazed by the number of people who suddenly want to dabble in the stock market now that “marijuana stocks” have become a thing. Many of these well-intentioned folks will have never invested until now, so we always like to use this as an opportunity to educate. You do not get […]
It’s a well-known fact that Israel is the unofficial startup capital of the world. There are nearly 6,000 startups in a country of about 8.5 million people, roughly the same population as New York City. What you may not know is that Israel is also the unofficial capital of cannabis research on the planet and […]
As the legal weed train continues to roll on (preemptive apology for all puns henceforth), the business case around marijuana grows into the billions. Eight states in the U.S. have fully legalized it (welcome to the club, California!), four expanded medical use this year, and five are hoping to legalize recreational use in 2018. It’s […]
Investing in the budding marijuana industry can be sticky business. Last year, at this time we compiled a list of 57 weed stocks, but warned that you’d be better off rolling a blunt with a twenty-dollar bill than buying most of the garbage out there. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule. One of […]
