Brian Singer and I write about cannabis for the Enterprising Investor

The Enterprising Investor, the flagship forum of the CFA Institute for analysis of current issues in finance and investing, opens its door to cannabis! For a conservative institution, it takes people they know and trust to step in and write about this topic. I hope with this that we are opening the door for others to write for them about the fascinating cannabis industry.

In this article, Brian Singer and I give you the gist of what the cannabis industry in the United States is all about. How did we end up in such an awkward spot? What is the resulting regulatory landscape? How do you make money in cannabis today?

Fortunately, the industry has matured from the wild-west place where anyone could step in without any business acumen and print money by growing weed. Unfortunately, most people ever investing in cannabis jumped right into the fire of the 2021 cannabis market bubble and are now telling all their friends that you cannot make money in the industry.

So, today’s cannabis companies are well-run with professional management but also cash-strapped due to a lack of investors. A great opportunity to step in with capital, in other words! Connect with me if you want to join us on this journey as we will be open for investors in our own credit fund.
