I’m often asked what I think about investing in the rapidly expanding cannabis stock markets. My response is the same as what you’d get if you asked a dog for his take on the intricacies of German biodynamic farming—near zero comprehension, evidenced by a tilting of the head, and possibly licking the face of the person asking the question. (This ensures I am only ever asked for advice once.)
This isn’t to say I don’t understand how stocks work, but it also isn’t to say that I have a full and complete grasp of the turbulent cannabis stock markets, either. If I did, do you think I would continue to toil away at this column? Investing requires allocating a portion of income that, if lost, won’t negatively impact the investor. No one who works in the independent newspaper industry meets that criterion.
