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 5 portfolios and included two cannabis ETFs to round out the participants in the contest.
