As of Jun 05, 2026. Market Open.
They each have their own strengths. He would pick Canopy (WEED-T) because they are the 800 lb gorilla. Aurora has lots of news about balance sheet challenges but they have low costs that he thinks will still come down further.
Short the stock on the basis of marijuana prices dropping? The pricing of marijuana in Colorado has been dropping like a rock, something like 10% a month in the 1st year. The average selling price now is about $7.50 a gram, and there is going to be some pressure on that, especially as the market matures. Right now, demand is still outstripping supply. As companies raise money and bring up production, that probably changes. However, the end market is hard to quantify at this time. As far as Shorting goes, you can certainly make money on it, but you have to be tactful. When things go crazy and straight up, that is the time to put Shorts on. Also, when there is a lot of equity financing, that is probably another time.
