In the emerging cannabis industry, my | current favorite is XCHC (36 mm shs, 13-15 cents per share). This is a highly volatile stock field dominated by penny stocks such as MJNA, which I sold. This one is more of a microcap than a penny, in that it has only 36 million shares. It was a shell taken over in December by some excecutives from CBIS, which is a penny stock but had been gradually putting together a couple of interesting deals.
The stock is running on news it acquired a 25 percent stake in a jv with an indian tribe in Canada to produce cannabis and run medical clinics up there.
The chart shows it breaking out above its 200-day moving average, and that the on-balance-volume, which i watch as a sign of accumulation or distribution, looks very strong.

XCHC risks: zero cash, feds conceivably could kill the deal.
but I think this latest announcement should have some investors writing checks.
