What a wild week that was! The market took us on quite the ride between the action in the blockchain sector and that of the pot stocks sector. Within the former, many stocks such as Block One Capital and HIVE Blockchain were subject to a bit of free fall midway through the week. Largely, this was a result of the price of Bitcoin breaking through support at $10,000 USD for a period of time. Luckily for investors, things managed to perk up by the time markets opened on Thursday morning.

With regards to the pot stocks sector, it started off with bearish action as a follow through from that of last week. With US investors taking the day off for Martin Luther King Day, there was a smaller pool of investors to stave off the bears. Things managed to pick up by mid week however for many in the sector, before turning relatively flat. With the announcement of the Bank of Montreal participating in a massive $175 financing for Canopy, it managed to help float the sector through the tail end of the week. With one session remaining before the close of the week, its anyone’s guess as to where the sector will end.

Cannabis Wheaton Income Corp (TSXV: CBW)

BRIEF: Mixed Emotions on Cannabis Wheaton Income

Cannabis Wheaton is a company that has had a polarizing effect within the pot stocks sector. Those that are in favour of the company enthusiastically express it. Likewise, the opposite comes from those of whom have disdain for the company. This is largely a result of the role the company plays in the sector, as well as some early transactions related to the company.

Stompy Bot Corporation (CSE: BOT)

BRIEF: Three Positive Indicators for Stompy Bot Corp

With our briefing on Stompy Bot, we tried something new for a change. Rather than perpetually identifying the negatives of a company, we did the opposite. That is, we focused on the positive. To complete this task we created a list of three things we liked on the company. This includes the change in management which is a good sign for future investors, as past results haven’t exactly been top notch. Additionally, we also took a look at the perceived key driver behind the companies price action. We expect this one to act as a short term investment for many traders, provided the price of Bitcoin stabilizes.
