Cannabis Portfolio Contest Update: YTD Performances Range From +12.7% To -10.0%


I have searched the internet for portfolios consisting exclusively of cannabis and cannabis-related stocks and have found 4. In addition to them, I have created 2 new portfolios using only the cannabis constituents in the munKNEE "Multi-bagger" and munKNEE "Rags-to-Riches" portfolios, created a new "Most Bullish" portfolio featuring the most mentioned cannabis stocks in the above mentioned 6 portfolios and included two cannabis ETFs to round out the participants in the contest.

The above 6 portfolios include 29 different cannabis out of the 225 companies tracked by weedstreet420.com, of which:

  • 8 are included in at least 3 of the 6 portfolios:
      • Organigram is included in 5 Portfolios,
      • Aurora is included in 4,
      • Curaleaf, Cresco, Green Thumb, Trulieve, Village Farms and WM Technology are included in 3.
  • The 8 companies consist of:
    • 4 MSOs, 3 LPs and one (1) company providing services to the industry and
    • their average market capitalization is $1,167M.
  • Of the remaining 21 companies,
    • 10 are included in 2  Portfolios and
    • 11 are only included in one of the portfolios.

I have put the 8 stocks highlighted above into a portfolio I have named the "Most Bullish Cannabis Stocks" Portfolio and its constituents are DOWN 6.2% YTD which, when included in the above list, ranks #6 out of the 7 portfolios.

None of the above 7 portfolios, however, are publicly traded so the following cannabis ETFs have been added to the contest. Their make-up and performances YTD (as of last Friday) are, in descending order:

  1. Global X Cannabis ETF (POTX): +1.1% YTD
    • 20 constituents
      • 57% are Canadian LPs
