For the trading week ended September 10, my proprietary Canadian Cannabis Company Index (MCCCI) decreased by 5.8% compared to the prior week when it decreased by 1.2%. The index consists of 23 stocks, many of which are among the most widely held holdings of the 3 ETFs ( MJ, CNBS, and THCX) that I consider to be a reliable barometer of the Canadian cannabis sector. MCCCI's differentiated business model is both weighted and market capitalization based because I believe that this approach best represents the current landscape of the Canadian cannabis sector.

The Good

There were no stocks that increased by more than 10%, which is my metric for inclusion in this category.

The Bad

There were 4 stocks that decreased by more than 10% (but less than 20%) which is my metric for inclusion in this category: CBWTF -14.3%, VLNCF -11.9%, CGC -11.0%, and ACB -10.3%.

The Ugly

There were 2 stocks that decreased by 20% or more, which is my metric for inclusion in this category: BHHKF -43.8% and TGODF -24.4%. Benchmark Botanics Inc. is a micro microcap stock that I believe has little or no future. I pointed out last week that The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. has serious financial issues, so I am not surprised at all about price pressure on the stock.

Recap

There was a decrease of 9.8% in the “Big Four” compared to the prior week when there was no change. I consider this steep decline to be a punch to the gut of the bulls. There was no change in the relative strength compared to the prior week when it decreased by 2.0%. Let us see how this volatile sector has performed at the same time next week, shall we?
