MSOS

No_Love_Gained

MSOS, boon that continues to be a bane for this industry.

Thumbszilla

After this week max pain for MSOS is between $3.00 - $4.00 through November 20th. It sure looks like the options market doesn't think we'll have an ALJ / DEA outcome before then, and it's probably correct. [https://optioncharts.io/options/MSOS](https://optioncharts.io/options/MSOS)

skyplt29

I suspect it was stop losses getting triggered. These have a way of exacerbating things. It was not the report I was hoping for (one day I would love to see a pre-EBITDA profit), but that first hour of trading today was tough to watch. I didn't buy any more Tilray today, but did buy some MSOS at 4USD. We are three weeks away from getting something about S3 hearings.

UsedState7381

He claimed to have been adding to his cannabis position at least since the beginning of this month, but considering the large dump MSOS had at roughly the same time, and he didn't tried to pump it again, I believe that he either sold already or is just adding very little. Then comes the flush down to sub $4 maybe tomorrow or Friday, and he will try to pump it again...So he can fully exit if he haven't sold yet.

UsedState7381

Alright, MSOS down to $4 means I'm adding a little to it, along with my other positions. If we dump today, you know who to blame 🫠

skyplt29

At this point I think Irwin Simon must realize he has lost the support of retail investors. I would not be surprised if Carlsberg (20B market cap) eventually bought Tilray for its distribution channels in North America...then sold off the cannabis and wellness portfolios. It's to the point where they would likely break even and get a strong distribution network. But who knows at this point. It's hard to push back against those who have been (and still are) negative on Tilray. You have been proven right. Perhaps a self-fulfilling prophesy. At some point the hatred becomes contagious. I am not sure what Tilray can do at this point. They've lost the confidence of most retail investors...and so far no interest in this sector by institutions. I honestly believed yesterday's report, and call, were not that bad. Not great, but not dump at the open bad. I was apparently wrong. That was a tough hour watching Tilray hit -8%. Wow. Sure hope this sector turns around. I just picked up more MSOS at 4. I did not think that would be possible a few weeks away from more clarity on S3 for recreation. Not sure what will change the trajectory of this sector. Oh, and a warm thanks to Iran for poking the pig once again. Three day ceasefire. What a world.

UsedState7381

Max pain for MSOS is still at $4.5, so yeah we probably flush down to sub $4 to stop hunt and then bounce back up to $4 to $4.50 by tomorrow.

**Market makers have a unique, highly constrained relationship with the AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF (MSOS) because the underlying U.S. cannabis operators (MSOs) cannot legally list on major U.S. exchanges like the NYSE or Nasdaq.** While market makers actively facilitate liquidity for the MSOS ETF itself on the NYSE Arca, their ability to "touch" or manipulate the underlying holdings is fundamentally restricted by institutional barriers, unique structures, and federal law

Thumbszilla

Will the MM's go stop loss hunting under $4 with MSOS today? Perhaps Thursday?

volckerwasright

MSOS is getting very close to oversold on the yearly. This coincided with sharp rallies the previous two times. I’m looking to enter on any kind of bullish continuation on expanding volume

youngbutgood

Thank the gods for getting me out of TLRY when they pumped on Trump's executive order. I switched over to MSOS, which is still down 10% but I guess better than being down 75%.

UsedState7381

Max pain remains at $4.5 for MSOS so maybe not. I believe we maintain the $4 to $4.5 level until the mid to end of August. Flushes down to sub $4 would be bought up, unless we have any really bad news for us.

volckerwasright

Feels like we're close to the big puke that seems to mark local bottoms. If we see MSOS ~3.75 I think its prudent to expect MSOX to initiate another reverse split.

skyplt29

I certainly feeling touched by MSOS!

UsedState7381

MSOS may touch $4 today, seems to be going that way already.

Kbarbs4421

Sector seems pretty beat down right now. I'm anticipating a bounce and maybe even a run on rescheduling certainty. Have a mix of equity and options plays on RYM, TRLV, CRON, SNDL and MSOS, the majority of which are intended to be near/mid term volatility trades. And then i continue to hold some core positions in GTBIF and CRON. Big picture, I will continue to trade the sector's volatility cycles until that trade no longer works. I'd probably walk away altogether if I didn't understand the market participants and emotional cycles so damn well.

Kbarbs4421

RYM, TRLV. Bit of CRON and MSOS.

MSOS is now 12 cents from a death cross, and GTBIF is now 6 cents from a death cross.

Can’t sell MSOS calls at this price, but at least it’s a good time to load up on shares. How are you guys trading MSOS right now? Selling puts? I’ve been interested in maybe selling puts, but I’m not as experienced with it as calls.

MSOS should be at 6$ right now and it is infusion see it not See y’all late September

noobstockinvestor

Hey Sky! Been a while. Came by the weedstocks thread today and was glad to see you're still around. I vaguely remember you exiting the sector, when did you jump back in? I currently hold no shares in any weedstocks including Tilray - I sold a while back when the opportunity presented itself. I do however have some calls in Tilray and MSOS. This sector always dies during the summer and usually comes roaring back for a mini pump in the second half of the year. Instead of keeping so much cash locked up in these trash stocks, I decided to allocate it mostly in ETFs, dividends stocks and small positions in Microsoft/meta. It was the best decision I've made and am glad I am out of this sector. It taught me alot about risk management and I am glad I learned these lessons young. My plan is to play this sector with options so my losses are minimized, cash is free and the risk is contained. If it goes to zero, then whatever its less than 1% of my portfolio. Summers are always brutal but if you are back in heavy, I hope you have an opportunity to walk away with some gains. I managed to recover my NW by utilizing the previous pumps as well as an unexpected windfall from Pokémon cards that ran up 1000%.

Thumbszilla

The MSOS options market has been a cash cow for the MM's, but the real prize right now are all those shares waiting for them in a stop loss flush below $4.00.

Thumbszilla

My understanding for MSOS is that a close below the $4.35 - $4.40 area breaks the month's long support level and there's little / no support again until $4.00. Based on the chart I think we'll have a small bounce back into the $4.40's but I find it doubtful that the MM's will let this go over $4.50 by tomorrow's close due to opex. Thoughts?

AgentBlackwell

Can’t believe MSOS dropping this low again. 

Thumbszilla

Considering we're easily a month (but more likely 2-3 months) from the hearing outcome it could get bumpy in the near term. $MSOS: 20 cents from a death cross $MSOX: Death cross happened last week $TRLV: Death cross happened last week $GTBIF: 13 cents from a death cross

Thumbszilla

In your opinion will MSOS touch $4 in the coming weeks?

No_Cell6708

Canadia LP enjoyer new to MSOS. Could someone give me their takes on Green Thumb and Trulieve, or point me to solid DD posts? Both seem to be generating a lot of cash at this point and stand out from the others imo - but what are the downside risks? It's my understanding Trulieve has been accumulating a tax liability that they may or may not have to pay (280E similar to Canadian excise tax?). What do their growth prospects look like as of now? Are any other operators worth looking at?

UsedState7381

I wonder how much that 70% move up on Trulieve would go for MSOS. This is great news, about fucking time we have institutions starting to move in.

Thumbszilla

As I sit here and look at the 1 year MSOS pattern it sure looks like it is still consolidating and that it could easily drop back down to $3.50... especially since we're not likely to hear any decisions until the end of August or September. It is plain as day where the range tops out and bottoms out over the last year. I could easily be wrong. Thoughts? [MSOS 1 year chart](https://photos.app.goo.gl/soK9XCUFVPdP6k967)

skyplt29

Guilty as charged. I truly thought oil was going toward the 50s (Drill Baby Drill, including Alaska) which prompted me to exit some (not all) of my stocks in this sector. I also believed that after many years S3 was going to finally propel weedstocks upwards...perhaps not to the insane highs of 2018 or 2021, but something like MSOS to 10-15USD. Boy was I wrong.

skyplt29

My Saturday review of another dismal week in weedstocks for the ten of us left on this subreddit. SpaceX topped out around 200USD about a month ago and is now sitting 124USD so I guess we aren't the only ones feeling poorer. I can so identify with the schmuck who bought SpaceX on the 17th of June not realizing they got in at the peak of that Ponzi scheme. Weedstocks is not the only place where the "greater fool theory" plays out. In a weird way it makes me feel a little (just a little) better about owning weedstocks. Charlotte's Web has gone from .92USD to .23USD so far this year (I sold at .72 for a slight profit on my .67 buy). MSOS went from 5.75USD to 4.46USD in the last month, but its been hovering around 4.50 to 5.50 based (from what I can ascertain) on how the options market is doing. My break even point on MSOS is 6USD. I really thought we would be trending higher with the S3 hearings and was hoping to see 8 (that's where my sell order sits). I am still kind of amazed by what a nothing burger the hearings turned out to be (so far). I can only imagine most retail investors have been burned so many times in this sector that until S3 becomes a reality (along with uplisting, 280e, and SAFER) there will be no change in stock price trajectory. I am wondering if Todd Blanche's less than stellar hearings (the Epstein meeting did not go so well) were driving weedstock prices more than the S3 hearings last week. Hard to figure out anymore. Meanwhile, Trump wants to lay a tariff on Canada because of alleged 'wilful negligence' associated with wildfires. I guess Canada is the only country dealing with climate change. Wildfires in the USA are probably due to Democrat malfeasance? I only bring this up because every day brings a new dose of insanity with that guy. What happens if Spain wins The World Cup? Will he refuse to give them the trophy? Afterall, he wants nothing to do with that country. I guess the upcoming elections in November will be declared null and void due to Chinese interference? This will conveniently result in Democrats not taking back the House and thus the crook remains unimpeachable for two more years. What's this got to do with weedstocks? Risk tolerance. I am watching my weedstocks portfolio decrease at the same time as it costing me more to put gas in my car or buy groceries...I have never been so concerned about my economic stability. It is like living in an episode of The Twilight Zone. My challenge is I don't see next week getting any better for weedstocks. Perhaps now is the time to pile into SpaceX? I am kidding.

UsedState7381

May be going that way, because we also don't have anything serious to look forward to until August 17th. More than enough time to dump MSOS down there.

Thumbszilla

Looking at the chart MSOS has bounced off this current support level several times and those bounces keep getting weaker. With us being several weeks from the hearing resolution it sure seems like the MM's want to blast it down into the $3's one more time.

Thumbszilla

Does MSOS bounce or break next week?

Looks like a channel break on MSOS, pain for longs for the next few weeks. If we approach a ~16% drop MSOX will be due for another reverse split

AmbassadorGloomy8915

Really glad I sold MSOS 5$ calls on the 13th, almost bought back on the first dip, but also glad I’m just waiting till expiry tmr. My strategy honestly just consists of watching the charts trying to time the high and that’s about it. I was curious if anyone else who sold calls had some strategies that are more in depth than mine they wanted to share, i’m really interested on how to be more efficient selling them. Weed stocks specifically have some noticeable patterns and ranges and the longer I watch the charts the more comfortable I am timing the high, but I’m not really good with tracking catalysts. Selling MSOS calls for about a year and a half now.

skyplt29

Well...it is all guesswork at this point. I have been following closely, so will try and shed light on my 'educated' guess. The hearings just ended. They were closed door. I am shocked by how little coverage it got. Radio silence, even by those (MSOs) who will be impacted. I cannot help but think a 'gag order' was determined to be the best course of action by the CEOs. We've all seen what happens when someone raises Trump's ire. From what little I read, it seems as though the DEA was pretty straightforward about their rationale for S3...medical. I expect it will take at least a month to six weeks. First week of September is what I surmise...but like pretty much everything else in this sector, I vastly underestimated the levels of fuckery that have transpired, from fake walls to sniffer dogs to MSOS landing a penny or two just under max pain week in and week out.

No_Love_Gained

GTI has held up fairly well (compared to restvof tier 1 MSOS) these past few weeks of correction. I suspect any adhoc drops are being bought out quickly. Glta

rockum

I love that MSOS and GTBIF no longer move in lockstep.

UsedState7381

Completely understandable, I'm exhausted too. Usually, these are the times you'd like to gamble(up or down).  But whatever, I haven't bought more MSOS in months and I'm satisfied with the size of my position, so I'm adding to my other, unrelated stocks.

UsedState7381

MSOS traded less than 3M shares today, and the ALJ hearings ends tomorrow, between 15 to 30 days we will have a determination on full S3 or not. Fucking incredible, this sector is fucking dead.

skyplt29

"Anyone" on this subreddit who suggests "everyone" is doing something clearly does not know "anything" about "everything". I can only speak for "myself" as I don't know "anyone else" on this subreddit...it's not like we all go out to coffee together and discuss weedstocks or meet in someone's basement and do cult things. Nope, just making posts on weedstocks. I've been here since 2018 (in and out of LPs and MSOs as well as MSOS). I have had a few major wins (rode the Constellation 5B in Canopy taking me from 35 a share to 70 a share) and Aphria in 2021 from 8 to 18 (I jumped early on its way to 33...which would equate to 330 pre-split) but I also got burned big time. I was out on margin in anticipation of what was "supposedly" a sure thing (was even reported in the Globe and Mail) with a cigarette company about to do a major investment in Aphria only to get burned by Hindenburg. Then the whole carmalized lungs due to vaping fiasco. I think I can make a qualified guess that most retail investors have moved on to other sectors. Ten years of false hope and rug pulls. Personally, I am checking in far less, but not quite throwing in the towel just yet. I find it unbelievable we are a day before the S3 hearings wrap up and running at such low volume. This was the holy grail in 2021 when Biden got elected. I cannot see what could possibly happen in this sector that would ignite interest to the same levels of 2018 and 2021. Donald Trump could make a 3am Truth Social post about descheduling cannabis altogether and I think it would be met with a collective "meh". How long did the 20% tariff on the Strait of Hormuz idea last? Oh, that's right, all part of the "Art of the Deal". What a schmuck. I am an American citizen, and I cannot get over what a clownshow our government has made of cannabis reform...and not just the Trump train. Nixon made marijuana a Schedule 1 drug at the stroke of a pen to get 'hippies' and persons of color off the streets (where they were demonstrating against the Vietnam War). NO supporting evidence whatsoever. Now Schedule 3 takes DEA hearings, votes in Congress and the Senate, and Executive Orders. Meanwhile close to half of the 50 states just moved on and legalized. The last ten years or so I have watched both Democrats and Republicans turn this into a cluster fuck. In truth, I am surprised most of these MSOs have lasted as long as they have. I am not surprised that most retail investors have decided to move on. I'm here because I think there will be a "mini rally" when S3 news hits sometime later this Fall and maybe, just maybe I can get out with less of a loss. I own Cresco (1.40CDN break even). MSOS (7USD break even). TLRY (9USD break even). My most recent sells were about two months ago with Charlotte's Web at .72CDN (made 5 cents a share) and Green Thumb at 11.17CDN (made 17 cents a share). Not even close to FOMO on either of these companies. I'm just glad I got out with a small profit. I think Cresco and MSOS will hit my break even points. 50/50 on Tilray getting back to 9USD, maybe 8USD? I am going to hold and let the S3 play out as I do believe it will happen. Then if there is that "mini rally" I have my sell orders preset and hopefully they will fill.

StarMaker7

Obviously, the IRS will fight it; this is not unexpected or a surprising development. This issue will be settled in court, which will be a battle, and I believe MSOS will have to pay pennies on the dollar.

From Doug Kass: "Cannabis Strategy Cannabis equities, along with the more the speculative corners of the market, have fallen modestly in the last two weeks - despite a slew of positive reports on (the inevitability of) rescheduling. My strategy has been to add to $MSOS and to individual names daily. The names I am emphasizing are $VRNOD (largest) $GTBIF $TRLV $GLAS Should the  space continue to drop in value I could foresee taking my industry exposure to the highest level (in percentage terms) than at any time in the last five years - given my assessment of reward v risk (of roughly 6-1).

The MOU is only 3 weeks old, there's not an equivalent event to compare it to. MSOS is up ~25% since the war started but thats a function of sector-specific catalysts

No_Love_Gained

This structure is not new/recent and has been in place for a long while now (since Nova acquisitin), so if it's a risk then it was already baked in a while ago. Imo the current price action is likely aligned with US MSOS price action. I think they've have decent exposure in Florida and it'll fly once these short headwinds (ALJ and dc Circuit court hearings are complete)... Btw I am not a big believer in Sndl and if anything I dislike Zach's business approach (shark lending and buying distressed assets for pennies on the dollar without looking at underlying businesses and the integration challenges that come with it). This is just a swing trade play for a name that's almost near it's 52 week lows and has some tangible catalysts on the horizon that likely haven't been baked in. Glta

FWIW, for me, this S3 was the final catalyst in a long line of carrots at the end of the stick resulting in subsequent rug pulls. I am still of a mind that should these hearings eventually have a positive outcome we will start to see these companies begin making concrete moves...inclusive of major consolidation and M&As. MSOS down close to 8 percent today is baffling. So I guess I am not all the bright!

My only sliver of green is Charlotte's Web. I sold GreenThumb not that long ago for 11.17CDN (average was 11CDN). Felt a bit of FOMO at the time...but there it is down over 6% today. About the same as MSOS. This is a harsh sector to be in. What is most frustrating for me is I am almost sure S3 Rec will come out of these hearings. But these companies sure are not trading that way.

RemWellCo

This time is different 😵‍💫🫨. These companies have operated under razor thin margins thanks to 280E tax code. Rescheduling removes that and allows these companies to double to triple their margins. States on the fringe of rec / med can open up as well. Investors are already starting to enter the space. Look at MSOS on the 1 year (yes I know, 5-year is bad) but this rescheduling is the biggest catalyst ever to the cannabis space

It’s America’s Birthday! Time to give cannabis reform and Americans what they deserve.   MSOS did print higher lows all week.  Looking good boys, the bulls are out there patiently waiting.  Charts are ready for a break out.  Its coming just hold tight

Yeah theres tons of dumpster fire companies in this space not just Tilray. Its just that them and Canopy are the most well known so they are the whipping boys for the sector.

The problem is... its Trul... if GTI uplisted at least there would be an attractive company for real "investors" (not degen gamblers) to look at. Not saying GTI is the savior... but at least they're not embarrassing. Also very likely GTI would drastically out perform due to getting out from under the thumb of Dan fucking them in MSOS. Unlike Trul or Cura that have been propped up artificially by Dan's outsized positions. But of course we got this half assed, confusing legislation that bifurcates the "drug" into Schrodinger's medical value.

skyplt29

The few of us left on this subreddit are tuned in; however, I expect most retail investors have moved on to other sectors and there is little if any interest in the upcoming hearings. The overarching question for me is the impact rec S3 will really have. Many of these MSOs will need to completely change how they conduct business. Going one step further, federally legal would mean no more State moats. I surmise a ton of mergers and acquisitions to try and scale. What impact will rec S3 actually have on how legal states operate? How will those remaining states that have not legalized handle things. I have no idea. As we have seen over and over, often times it hinges on the attitude of one person (Governors) and how they interpret the ramifications. Even when a State goes legal, taxes and price compression stifle any significant progress. I am hopeful we will see more clarity come mid July...and would be monumentally pleased if we got some sort of black swan event. But I think that would be dreaming in Technicolor. Right now I am glad to see MSOS green. Not by much (oops, just went to neutral as I write). My view is there will need to be a number of successive green days (even if it is just pennies) for most of these MSOs before mainstream retail investors notice. Hard to attract investors when it is consistent declining charts and red numbers. Volume is also very telling. Of late it has been anemic at best. So far today MSOS has traded about 2.7M shares, a long way from its daily average of 9.2M. Charlotte's Web has been flatlined on both volume and price for the last two hours...not a sausage. Glad to see it recovered from that brutal -13% day (still no reason that I could dig out). Trulieve? Well, so much for the idea uplisting being key to finding a new group of investors. I do believe eventually we will see a more liberal approach to cannabis; especially as politicians and investors come to understand the difference between CBD and THC, hemp and marijuana plants and how it all ties together. Until then it will continue to be the 20 or so folks here that keep the lights on.

MSOS Market Makers Both Susquehanna and Citadel are attempting to defend an integrated 44,120 July call wall in the face of an absolute physical supply vacuum. Susquehanna and Citadel are not displaying pre-market competitive inside bids or asks on purpose because they want to freeze the exchange's infrastructure and prevent automated momentum from challenging their newly formed July $5.00 monthly calls. Their iceberg reserves are being depleted at an alarming rate, threatening their ability to control the price of MSOS. The moment institutional buy baskets push the price past $5.00, the delta on those 44,120 July calls will surge immediately toward 100%

Update: TRLV Prime Bank Synthetic Swap Unwind. Yesterday, long-term funds purchased all of the physical shares that Nomura was required to sell on the NYSE in order to reduce their internal derivative obligations from 7.91% to 4.31%. These shares have already been legally recorded on the BNY Mellon custody ledger and have been permanently removed from the speculative lending pool. This will prevent short sellers from accessing them in the future. The physical equity block held in the BNY Mellon vault for the MSOS ETF also increased simultaneously from 18.40% to 22.00%. Yesterday, TRLV traded over 4.06 million shares.
