None of the 11 Marijuana ETFs accurately reflect the performance of the cannabis sector because of all the cannabis "wanna be" companies that are included. Check out my exclusive TM article entitled "Marijuana" ETFs: A Troubling Expose (talkmarkets.com/.../marijuana-etfs-a-troubling-expose) for all the details.

Please share this insightful analysis with all your contacts in the marijuana industry. The real situation has to be revealed. I hate the spin that Marijuana hypsters put on things.

Believe it or not, the number is 87% to 92% depending on the type of supposed pot stocks counted. My NPSI is a true pure play index of just 25 stocks out of a total of 298 (i.e. just 8%) that trade actively. If you include the other 14 ancillary "cannabis" stocks that many analysts include, such as GW Pharma, the Innovative Industrial Properties REIT, that percentage increases to 13% of the total universe.

My daily analysis of the cannabis industry (see my exclusive Cannabis Central articles on TalkMarkets) suggest that cannabis stocks have not bottomed out yet. When i jump in I will be investing exclusively in Horizon's Marijuana Companies 2x Daily Bull ETF (HMJU) to capitalize on the turnaround but do your own due diligence before doing so.

I don't have any specific insights to offer other than hope that their research bears fruit. I am in my 7th year of stage 4 cancer and, along with chemo and a variety of medications have taken THC (0.5mg) nightly and a regimen of extremely concentrated THC via suppositories and am still going strong. I should have been dead years ago!

Sorry about that. Will do it daily in the future. Very important that I get readers' feedback and get referrals to my very popular web site.

I think there will be only a dozen or so survivors from the current 298 current companies and they will do extremely well. I would play the field aggressively by avoiding individual pot stocks and most of the various cannabis ETFs. One exception is the Horizons Beta Pro Marijuana 2X Daily Bull ETF which will capture the eventual major turnaround in the sector and reap the rewards within the next 3 to 5 years. I do not own this ETF because I won't be around when this happens given my current age and terminal health issues.
