In total, the munKNEE Canadian Pot Stocks Index was UP 4.2% this week and is now UP 7.9% since the end of July.

As I mentioned in my recent article on marijuana ETFs (see here), if you are interested in investing in the Canadian LP category the ETF with the largest percentage of such stocks then consider the Global X Cannabis ETF (POTX). (For comparison, POTX was up 5.01% this week.)

For the adventuresome among you consider investing in one of the following leveraged (inverse or bull) ETFs:

1. ETFMG 2x Daily Inverse Alternative Harvest ETF (MJIN)
2. ETFMG 2x Daily Bull Alternative Harvest ETF (MJXL)
3. BetaPro 2x Inverse Canadian Marijuana Companies ETF (HMJI)
4. Horizons 2x Bull Marijuana Companies ETF (HMJU)

An "inverse" ETF is the way to go if you think the cannabis sector is going to decline considerably in the months ahead while a 'bull" ETF is for those that think the sector is going to advance going forward.
