What happened?
With no news out of any of the pot stocks, today's push higher could be down to day trading or investors betting on a big year ahead for the industry.
It is admittedly an exciting time for the industry. Loosening regulations in Australia and the legalising of recreational use in Canada means that a lot of these companies are on the verge of finally generating meaningful revenues.
I'd suggest investors keep a close eye on Creso Pharma next year. As well as the medicinal market for both humans and companion animals, the company has launched edibles and has exposure to the recreational market in Canada following a recent acquisition. If one of its many revenue streams takes off, so could its shares.
