After an influx of new subscribers joined us over the weekend, we’d like to take this time to welcome our new friends, and try to get you up to speed as soon as possible. In a time that now spans three calendar years, we have been vigorously tracking numerous marijuana-related stocks with some very profitable results.
Last week (possibly aided by the first stores opening for sales of recreational marijuana in Colorado), the sector as a whole began to heat up once again, necessitating heavy discussion in our daily reports. As can be expected when several sessions of frenzied uptrending carries stocks as high as we saw many of our cannabis plays, several of those stocks began to consolidate on Friday.
The exceptions were GreenGrow Technologies, Inc. GRNH, and Hemp, Inc. HEMP; High volume spread over multi-day runs often leads to high volatility as well, as in the case with HEMP, which did consolidate to a low of .021, but followed that up with a rebound back to .032, a 52% intraday swing.
GRNH continued its run from the previous session where we had witnessed a low of .045, and barreled its way to a high of .124. We’ll take overnight gains in excess of 176% any day!
As for the rest of the pot stocks we’ve been tracking that have relaxed a bit, we are still eager to see how they respond this week, and will be on the lookout for any chances we might have at bounce plays. Additionally, news of how the first week of sales went in Colorado will be sure to get even more eyes turned toward this burgeoning market sector. Check back for future updates, as we stay tuned in every step of the way.
Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. PPHM
Speaking of stocks that we’ve been tracking since 2012, PPHM has proven itself a winner for us on multiple occasions over the years, and our most recent alert is turning out to be no different. Following that last mention, we observed a low 1.35, which at this morning’s pre-market high at 1.99 represents a 37% increase.
FDA-related news out this morning could fuel a serious push in a Northerly direction, so we won’t want to take our eyes off of PPHM for one moment as trading commences this morning.
