This asset class has been down for 5 years during a long period of investor apathy. But when an asset class has been down for longer than 3 years, you start to consider it. HMMJ has US exposure where there is growing public support for legalizing canopy. Maybe start with a small position. This is a volatile sector.
HMMJ vs. HMUS. A monstrous opportunity, but you're going to suffer volatility. Go slow, get in over time, and keep it to a smaller proportion of your portfolio. Market weighted. The US exposure is to companies operating legally, and there can't be any recreational use. With HMUS, you're tapping into a bigger market. For example, Charlotte's Web is planning to sell CBD infused products through Kroeger. This scale dwarfs the whole Canadian market. Valuations are high because of the growth potential. If you're a marijuana investing aficionado, you'd want to own both.
Marijuana. If you are going to play the sector it is a momentum trade and the ETF is the way to go. The sector is tremendously ahead of itself and there is a lot of speculation in these stocks. We will not know for a year after it becomes legal, how these companies are going to do. You could get a lot of price volatility.
