If you invest in marijuana penny stocks, you are probably aware that over the past year many of the companies in this risky sector of the equity markets have seen significant declines in their share prices.
Many of these little companies had stocks that were trading for $2 or $3 a share or even more during the ball of last year. This was due to expectations and excitement leading up to Canadian legalization. Since then, the share prices of most of these companies have fallen to just a few pennies. Once this happens, it is basically over. Very few of them will survive.
The following seven companies seem to have weathered the storm over the past year. This could be an indication that they may have favorable prospects for the future. If they survive the bad times maybe they will prosper in the good times. Because of this, they are on my radar screen as potential buys.

first outdoor harvest in August, and is converting another location from cultivation to propagation, processing and packaging. This is important because outdoor marijuana is significantly cheaper to grow than greenhouse marijuana.
Most marijuana is grown indoors because it is considered more secure and of better quality. But due to the huge cost advantage, investors are starting to consider outdoor growing.

It provides greenhouses and processing facilities for marijuana growers in Colorado with water rights not used for fruit and vegetable production.
TURV got my attention because the stock has been mostly trending higher since March. Maybe it is doing well because this company is different than most other penny stock companies. Two Rivers actually makes money. Last earnings report, it revealed earnings of 9 cents per share.

The cannabis industry is full of incompetent management. Many entrepreneurs may have great ideas and can get a company up and running, but they do not have the skills to manage the company as it grows and matures. Pivot’s recognition of the need for experienced people could be a good sign.
It also announced that it is expanding its Board of Directors. This move could attract investors. Some investors think the composition of the Board is extremely important and analyze it as part of their investment research process.

There is a very cool story here. This company is trying to develop medicinal marijuana that will treat and potentially cure cancer. But CNBX stock got my attention because it is trading at a level that has been support in the past. After finding support at these levels in December, the stock more than doubled.
An important thing to consider here is that in its most recent quarter, CNBX stock reported earnings of 3 cents per share. That doesn’t sound too impressive at first glance, but when you consider that most of these other penny-stock marijuana companies are losing money, you can understand the significance.
Now that CNBX stock is on my radar screen, I will be watching it to see if this support holds over the next month or two. If so, I will do some more research.

This company caught my attention because despite some volatility, it has trended higher since the beginning of the year. In January it was trading around 22 cents and the most recent close was 42 cents.
There have been some developments at Halo that seem to be positive. This is what could be driving this move.
Last month, the company reported that its revenues had tripled to almost $9 million. This was attributed to the launching of cannabis oil and concentrate operations in Canada and Nevada.
