Cann American Corp. CNNA – OTC Recap:

We also wanted to quickly give an update on an OTC cannabis play that we flagged for observation two Wednesday’s ago on the 17th. Subsequent to that alert, we have seen as CNNA has risen from a low of .0028, and yesterday the stock hit .0128. That works out to an impressive two-week swing of 357%

Even though we focus primarily on the more exciting world of options trading these days, we always keep our scanners tuned for OTC plays that sometimes make it into our daily extended watchlists, and this has been one of the better targets for us in recent memory.
