Friday Recap: Week Ending February 9, 2018

Well, that was certainly an interesting week. From investors finally doing a Deep Dive on their investments, to the unusual volatility in major indexes, it was a wild and unexpected week for the markets. Hopefully you’re still with us as an investor and haven’t tossed in the towel just yet.

If you have one takeaway from this week, let it be this: always do your own deep dive on an investment. This fact alone can not be stressed enough. Many items were discovered by the masses this week, including the skin each individual has in the game. Don’t be caught off guard by this information, especially when it is publicly available via filings. If you’re placing your hard earned cash in an equity, make sure you are fully aware of what you are investing in.

With regards to company filings, there are several invaluable resources. If the equity is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange, utilize the filings that are required by the exchange. Items such as the Form 9 (proposed issuance of listed securities) and Form 11 (proposed stock option grant) are an essential tool to investors on this junior exchange. These forms enable you to better grasp the involvement of individuals in the equity. Other key sources of information include SEDI and SEDAR which should be used prior to any investment.

Lastly, don’t forget to look at the macro market. Often times as investors, we get so focused on one particular sector that it prevents us from seeing the forest from the trees. This week served as a fresh reminder the impact that large market sentiment carries. The cannabis sector in particular had a number of stocks that closely followed large indexes. Sometimes it is not the individual company that drives bearish sentiment. Occasionally, its the market as a whole.

Choom Holdings: The Essence of Hawaii

This weeks full analysis was conducted on Choom Holdings, one of the first lifestyle brands to enter the public Canadian cannabis markets.
