American MSO Cannabis Stocks Down 15% This Week

Below are the constituent performances this week, in descending order, MTD, and YTD, the number of retail stores/dispensaries per constituent (888 in total) with the latest in analysis and commentary on each of the companies here.
Positive operating cash flow is money coming in through sales minus operating expenses and a company doesn't survive without it and, as such, it is the best measure of a company’s financial and operational health. Where positive operating cash flow is not mentioned in association with a constituent in the list below it indicates that the company does not have positive operating cash flow. The article, Life Expectancy Declining At Some MSO Companies. states that "the five MSOs which seem to be at the greatest risk of default during the next 30 months are Ayr Wellness, 4Front, Jushi, TerrAscend, and Verano. All five have huge debts coming due, negative free cash flows, and insufficient cash...The MSO in the best shape...at the end of Q1 was Green Thumb."

In this inflationary timeframe, many MSO’s will go under or be bought on the cheap. The Planet’s ($PLNHF) management is financially conservative and will survive this. As I stated many times, this is a long term 3 year buy, and will arguably return huge rewards at this current price. I continue to buy. Believe we have a decent chance of getting the SAFE act billed passed in some capacity by years end which would be a catalyst to the entire sector. Florida sales coming on line next year for the Planet. Need to be patient and not look at the stock price everyday if you believe like i do in the future. It is all laid out. Planet is executing!
