The cannabis industry is more sensitive to political news than other industries. With cannabis still in the early stages of global legalization – when politicians make formal or informal comments about the industry – cannabis stocks respond.

That’s what we saw this weekend.

Last Thursday, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was asked about the conflict between state and federal cannabis laws.

The cannabis industry has been eagerly awaiting word on how the Trump administration will handle cannabis. Whatever Spicer said was going to be closely analyzed.

He started by drawing a clear line between medical and recreational cannabis – saying the Feds aren’t even legally allowed to go after medical because of a spending rider approved by congress in 2014 and 2015 that prohibits the use of federal funds to go after state medical cannabis.

I was a derivatives trader for a billion-dollar trading firm at the Chicago Board of Trade for three years in my late twenties.

It was a crazy job. My job was to make huge bets all day long in highly volatile markets.

The key to this position was the chart.

I would hunt for specific formations on the chart, looking for stocks, bonds, commodities, or currencies ready to breakout into a new high or breakdown into a new low.

Once I found the right setup I would slap on million-dollar trades looking to “scalp” the market for a quick profit.

After gaining 4.2% in January, the MJIC North American Cannabis Stock Index is now up more than 5% on the year.

Canadian cannabis stocks have been leading the pack.

Canopy Growth Corp (TSX:WEED), Canada’s largest medical cannabis company, is up 25% in 2017.

That bullish movement has been driven by a steady stream of good news. Continue reading "North American Cannabis Stock Index Already Up 5% In 2017" →
