I Acted On a Stock Tip From a Fellow Medium Writer
What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
Tom Handy recently published an article on Medium about five stocks investors should consider buying in January 2021.
One was Canopy Growth (CGC), a Canadian company which “engages in the production and sale of cannabis for medical and recreational purposes.”
In other words? Weed! Pot! Reefer! Grass! Giggle Smoke! Ganja!
The forbidden stuff that we used to buy on the sly in the seventies, then smoke behind the backs of our parents, teachers, cops and other authority figures.
How cool is it that we’re now living in a world where the analysis of a company’s stock could include the line “a boom in the weed industry is expected in the upcoming years?”
Back when I was a teenager sneaking out to the backyard for a toke, I couldn’t possibly have imagined that by the time I was 66, this shit would not only be legal but a potentially wise investment.
(Of course, the teenage Roz would have had a very hard time imagining being 66 at all. But that’s another essay.)
Tom Handy’s case for why this company’s stock was worth buying seemed compelling.
