This week, Tracey’s joined by Stock Strategist David Borun, the editor of Zacks Marijuana Innovators portfolio, to discuss what is going on with the cannabis industry.

Did the coronavirus pandemic help, or hurt, the cannabis industry?

In many states, cannabis was considered an essential business so most dispensaries remained open. But that doesn’t mean there wasn’t disruptions to some of the businesses.

Many of the stocks plunged when the stock market plunged in February and March on coronavirus fears.

Has that created a buying opportunity in some of the shares?

Many investors have focused on the Canadian cannabis growers the last few years. But the pandemic has caused a shake-up among the companies with several doing layoffs and cutting expenses.

Some intriguing places to look for deals are in pharmaceuticals.

What else should you know about the marijuana stocks in 2020?
