Despite the turmoil in the stock market the 8.4% increase in the pot stock sector on Tuesday was the fourth consecutive day of positive returns which begs the question: "Is this the bottom?" That would be welcome news if that is the case as the sector has declined 36% in the last month and 43% since the beginning of the year and is down 75% in the past 12 months.
