Friday Recap: Week Ending December 29th, 2017

Happy Holidays all! What a week that was! Although a very short trading week, it didn’t prevent explosive growth from occurring in the Canadian pot stock sector. The madness began on Tuesday, with optimism high in the US sector due to what has been coined as the Cali Rally. The optimism surrounding legalization in the state of California appeared to spill over to all sector participants throughout the day, with many of the OTC tickers of Canadian companies seeing exceptional gains.

Due to the gains made on the American side of the market on Tuesday, by the time Canadian markets opened on Wednesday numerous stocks were revving to go. Several gap ups occurred, with optimism continuing for the rest of the week. On Thursday alone, approximately twenty nine companies in the sector hit fifty two week highs, and for most it was also an all time high. Of particular note, is Canopy Growth Corp which broke the $30 mark for the first time.

Speaking to the week ahead, all eyes will be on California based operations. On Monday, the first of the new year, recreational comes in to effect within the state. With a population that is three million people larger than that of Canada’s, it will be an excellent indicator of whats to come for Canadian legalization. Will the Cali Rally continue, or will a sell the news event occur? It’s anyone’s guess at this point in time. Regardless, expect some coverage from us in the coming week.

BRIEF: A Dive into the Share Structure of St-Georges Eco-Mining

St-Georges is a company that has been extensively mentioned over social media the last while. This week, we finally had the opportunity to take a glance at it. What we found, was a slightly cryptic share structure. Overall, the structure is not all that bad for the company. The only issue appears to be attempting to calculate the current outstanding shares, and what warrants exist. We got the job done however, and have simplified it for current and future investors of the company. If you’re committed to the stock, use this as a resource.
