Fintel.io has FINALLY updated it's chart for institutional ownership of MSOS for the month of January 2026. And the ownership has INCREASED compared to December last year. https://images.fintel.io/us-msos-so.png

If a tree falls in the forest...if one posts on Reddit weedstocks does it even get read anymore? I am closing in on nine years "invested' in this sector. So much silliness! A few examples: 1. Watching for the weekly Friday announcement of grow ops licenses waiting for Tilray's Double Diamond facilities to get approved; 2. Vic Neufeld hinting at big tobacco buying Aphria out, Tomahawk steaks, grow ops in Central America, Jamaica operations...Bob on the Job; 3. CannTrust fake walls...I still remember the CEO Peter Aceto's name; 4. Cam of Aurora flying around in a business jet, opening up grow facilities in the coldest city in Canada (greenhouse in -40 weather, what could go wrong?), big store in the West Edmonton Mall; 5. Hindenburg short attack on Aphria (that was a six figure lesson on margin calls...set me back years...thankfully oil's CONTANGO bailed me out of complete failure); 6. Bruce Linton's regular gap toothed talks on CNBC and Cramer pushing CGC; 7. Biden getting elected and the 2021 rush only to be followed by Schumer's "soon" and Booker's laying down in front of a bus; 8. Trump winning the election tanking LPs and MSOs; 9. Trump's EO on S3 being a STN event; 10. I am looking forward to others on here recalling a few absurdities we have all had to endure. A lot of contributors to this subreddit have either moved on or simply no longer posting. I expect they are doing well in other sectors once they tore this band-aid off. Ironically, I miss some of the livelier conversations that happened here (when there was still potential)...the mayonnaise person, banana eater, and I think it was noob who ate the bull's balls and provided a picture (with some kept in the freezer for the next run up). The purchase of Lambos and trips to Las Vegas was the talk. The less ambitious were looking forward to paying off mortgages or early retirement. I recall one person posting that they bought a new Ford F150 with their gains. Another person bought an old Duster car with a 340. Fun stories. I remain hopeful some clarity and eventual S3 might spur a renewed weedstock spirit; but right now it feels as though this sector is on life support. I am watching volume more than price action, looking for an uptick. The only real laugh I got was last week from any of the posts was someone referring to Pam Bondage. I am not sure what was so funny about it, but I admit to a bit of a spit take with my coffee. I have given up on 10x, 5x, or even 3x. If I can get about a double (which puts us back to Dec 18 numbers) I am out. Specifically, that means MSOS at 8USD, Tilray to 14USD (I know, I know, shit meme company and Irwin is overpaid...but it is on the NASDAQ and will be an early gainer), and Cresco to 3CAD. I remain hopeful some sort of announcement of medical and Medicare options will do this. But who knows. All the best to everyone here who is taking a chance on this sector. I sincerely hope each of the strategies we chose results in a win.

Although it is nice to see MSOS gain close to 5% today, as well as most of the underlying MSOs gain a few percentage points back after yesterday's rout. LPs (other than CGC for obvious reasons) did pretty well. ACB did not have a good week. What I find curious is the volume...especially on a blockbuster day in the market like today. We are seeing significant percentage swings in weedstocks (to the plus and minus), yet still about a third to half of the average volume. There are better investors than I am on this subreddit, and I would be curious (and appreciative) as to what your conclusions are. I suspect the average retail trader is not trading...mostly just holding in hope of good news (that's pretty much me). I know some (like banana) are playing options and perhaps that is behind some of the tradubg. As much as I wish institutional buyers were nibbling, I believe that is wishful thinking. It is also my understanding that algorithmic trading is most profitable when there is high volume. Not sure how algos would make money here. I did make a trade (as someone suggested yesterday, a steak dinner for two with a bottle of wine type of trade). Yesterday I bought 1000 shares of Tilray for 7USD and then put a sell order in for 7.50. It filled just before noon EST today...but what was really interesting is it filled on several sells of 100 or 200 shares (I get an email for each individual sell that happens on a single order). In my limited (and naive) experience, that's not institutional or algorithmic I would think. Fortunately I am only charged once for the SELL order (4.95) so I made just shy of 500 dollars. It's been a loooooong time since I did a trade like this. Felt good. Made reservations for two at Hy's Steakhouse. So still low volume, and trades are in lots of 100 and 200 (at least for Tilray). Not sure if there are any conclusions to be drawn. Good weekend to all.

King_Chron

Why is everyone so quick to fall in for something, just let it rideeeeeeeeee. its coming theres no stopping it. Perma bears will poke at the situation on days like these even though the rest of the market is selling off, Over the last six months (August 6, 2025 – February 5, 2026), **MSOS** significantly outperformed both major index ETFs with a gain of **20.30%**. **SPY** followed with a **7.09%** gain, while **QQQ** trailed with a **5.24%** increase. We already know this sector is volatile and way more than the indices, so the price swings will happen up & down. The industry is taking a historical step forward and anyone downplaying it is doing just that.....downplaying......

No_Love_Gained

He is a joke. Tbf, we've had more than one opportunity to make a 10% gain in the last 40 days (since 19th Dec sell off), and it's also very disingenuous to say that he was in for just 20% upside which we've all known is nothing but a joke. This sector (particularly MSOS) runs twice or thrice as much hard just on a meangingless tweet or a random two week comment from Trump and here we are where he/his admin have put their weight behind this and more importantly claimed this as a victory on this yearend score card. So all these shenanigans from this sleazebag on first coming out with a declaration of a position and then a quick exit mentioning they've achieved half their objective is just pure market manipulation and playing ppl that are unaware of these pampers. Glta

We've got MSOS, and that's done more than enough damage already..

The definition of "going long" that guy has is like a month away at best. Incredible. But at least this time around he remains optimistic about  Either way, I will look forward to add a little more MSOS when it dips to $3.80, until then, I'm not touching it either.

The National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA) is one of the oldest advocacy groups in our space. They've been around for like 15 years, and have been federally lobbying every quarter since 2017. They just filed a [termination of their in-house lobbying team](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/d2f44dfa-5f8a-4a2f-8610-f7d2b3a44c89/print/), so they no longer have any federal lobbying going on. Their founder and CEO also stepped down about half a year ago and was never replaced. Another advocacy group The Cannabis Freedom Alliance also [terminated their only lobbying at the end of 2025](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/317ad1b7-f74a-4e0e-9fdf-5d74613d7551/print/). This is the group that was started by Snoop Dogg and Charles Koch. Another advocacy group called the American Trade Association for Cannabis and Hemp (ATACH) also [terminated 1 of 2 of their lobbyists late in 2025](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/bb5a8dc0-5ea1-4538-affe-138bc65288f0/print/). Two of the other biggest advocacy groups in our space recently merged together (USCC/NCR formed the US Cannabis Roundtable). This is the group that is most of the MSOS. The US Cannabis Roundtable also just filed a [termination of 1 of 2 of their lobbyists](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/962d151b-d3cf-4024-8424-80bd65f8c51e/print/). As I've seen more and more major alcohol companies add hemp to their disclosures, the cannabis lobbying is not keeping up. One of the few remaining cannabis advocacy groups is CPEAR, and they are just run by big tobacco and big alcohol anyway.

We had Doug Kass pumping MSOS yesterday, now it's that prick Wolf doing the pumping. Market reaction has been miffed so far. Hmmmmm...

Throw_Away_TrdJrnl

Probably doesn't have inside sources if I had to guess The market seems to still be pricing in rescheduling happening as MSOS etf has tested 3.98 multiple times in the last week and it's remained a support. So as long as it doesn't take too long or trump doesn't back out of wanting to reschedule I don't think it should go too much lower but who fuckin knows. I sure as hell don't

Throw_Away_TrdJrnl

My MSOS holding is averaged at 4.57, though effective average is lower from a few rounds of CCs I was deep in those CCs during December and couldn't take profits on the EO run to $7 but I believe rescheduling should still happen and when it does I'll be able to sell hopefully at $8 at least. Not selling CCs currently as who knows when this administration will announce anything related to S3 that drives it up quick

I don't see any reason to be desperate here, the most negative short-term news that I can think of is Florida A3 not making it to the ballot this year, and to my shock the market seems to not give much of a fuck about it. Only bad thing I see here is this ridiculous lack of volume, it suggests that nothing is happening with this industry so far. It's a good place to accumulate more by DCA'ng, if nothing is happening this week and next then I'm expecting MSOS to bleed down to $3.50 again.

I tend to agree. MSOS may be finding a bottom right now after the EO sell the news event.

I'm expecting a -10% flush down on them once the news hits, followed by weakness more bleeding throughout the week unless we get good S3 news. It's the 2nd largest portion of MSOS, so it will drive the price down for the other names, as is the tradition of everyone suffering together in this industry.

Going long on MSOS? Cannabis lobby is finally embedded in both major US parties, and if there is an economic downturn on the horizon & with gen z drinking less, seems obvious. How retarded am I being? There are still $50+ bag holders surely

Gap is closed. Stress is over. Put all of you savings into MSOS. Good luck.

No_Love_Gained

This is the trick to play the underlyings as MSOS swap structure is almost a bane to this sector and helps keep most tickers undrcheck. One of many reasons why CWEB hasnt been affected is because of little to no overhang by MSOS and its shenanigans. Glta

King_Chron

Shorts continue to neglect GLASF (up almost 1%) for some reason; I’ll be continuing to watch. Currently up on the day on very light volume (28,000 shares), with GLASF being 7% of MSOS. It seems that counterparty hedging isn’t as black and white as some project in here. Retail needs to do some DD for educational purposes into the swap structure, counterparty risk/hedging, and custodianship. There have been past deals that could affect familiarity between parties (not in a conspiracy or wrongdoing way). Ignored nonetheless for months now on low volume despite its “weight” in MSOS. Swap providers hedge portfolio exposure, not every stock proportionally.

UsedState7381

I was not expecting MSOS to break sub $4 today, I thought that was going to be for next week. And the volume is telling, but what happened?

By "we" you mean MSOS: amplify losses and dull gains. Y'all be better off just holding GTBIF directly.

Today's price action was mostly caused by $CURLF falling off of a cliff. I guess MSOS dumping most of their inflows into $CURLF over the past year to artificially pump it wasn't the best idea

Absolutely wild price action. EO for reform in the White House in December, (which seemed unimaginable even 1 year ago) and the market just does not care about this sector anymore. I’ve been doing this so long I remember when MSOS was 13 bucks before Mcconell nuked SAFE in the NDAA. Now we are grinding back to $4. Everything is so dramatic too. Speculation that Bondi is not gonna sign for ~reasons~. I’m tired boss.

Kbarbs4421

First time MSOS has lost its range since pre-Xmas. Not necessarily a full breakdown but a bit concerning. Hopefully we find new support and regain the 4.50.

Throw_Away_TrdJrnl

I feel this. All my money is locked into MSOS for hopefully more S3 profit and currently making about a thousand a month selling CCs on it and I would love to go somewhere else but I just have no idea what to invest in right now. Everything ATH and 50% of the comments are saying it's going to keep pumping while the other 50% cite shit like impossible revenue predictions for AI investments that will never pay off and it's all going to come crashing down. I just said fuck it I love weed so I'm investing in weed

four_twenty_4_20

Am I interpreting the options that expire this week having $5 as max pain? Should we expect MSOS might be run up to close at $5 on friday? I was expecting a friday afternoon dump after Bondi does nothing by the "end of January" deadline Trump supposedly gave her.

Lots of chances to grab a few more MSOS shares under $4.5 here But eh...This price action isn't looking good, volume is terrible as well. Better wait for next week now IMO.

TroubledAcorn

The stock price doesn’t reflect the upside potential of $RYM. Still as bullish as ever. If THC drinks aren’t completely banned (I don’t think they will be, despite the narrative) this is way bigger and more scalable than any Retail MSOS. THC drinks are the real money maker and $RYM will be one of the Top Players in the industry

FoodCooker62

From the top of my head a quick list of companies based on cash flow, a solid balance sheet, organic revenue growth, no excessive dilution:  Canada: HITI, VFF, Rubicon, Decibel, perhaps Auxly  US: GTBIF, TCNNF, perhaps Cresco.  There's almost certainly more but these are the ones i have some experience with analyzing. Im not well known wirh US MSOS. Avoid the meme names like CGC, TLRY like the plague. 

Charming_Yellow5867

It's almost time for the administration to release more news to pump MSOS again.

Gambelero

Absolutely, lack of interest here is a longish indicator. Also, when you look at periods where an industry or market experienced sustained increases in valuations, temporary retrenchments were common. Many of our stocks are still way up from their 2025 lows. MSOS (as a proxy for U.S. MSOs) is up almost 150%. Even Tilray, which is moving farther and farther away from profitability is still up more than 100% from it’s lows last year despite few indications it will ever be GAAP profitable.

UsedState7381

Lots of calls buying on MSOS going on for February, for the 5 and 6 strikes, in respite of the price action. Interesting, but I suppose we should just write January off already, this ridiculously low volume is quite telling already. Good opportunity to buy MSOS under $4.50 I guess.

DEASqueezeAllComing

Reasons why I think S3 won't happen before the end of february 1- Pam Bondi has to deal with the stay Mulrooney issued on the S3 hearing on January 13th 2025 because of claims that DEA and SAM were sleeping in the same bed 2- Even if we had a EO issued, Pam Bondi has to be surgical and find a balance with her power to accelerate the process while ensuring that the final rule is not vulnerable to lawsuits or legal shenanigans. With that being said, I am happy about my positions in CRON and GTBIF that I initiated 2 weeks ago and will continue to add as much as I can. I learned my lesson with MSOS badly managed basket and CGC red diluting machine

The thing is we're unlocking and legitimizing a billion dollar industry on par with Alcohol. When do you ever have the opportunity to do that? Did you invest in Alcohol during prohibition before it got legitimized? If you did you would of made out like a bandit. Same story here, we're just early. Patience is required, S3 is the first step, up listing is next, and whatever else will be in the pipeline line once it becomes more and more mainstream. For the people that think it's just a commodity and price compression will happen is short sighted. Money will be in branding, just like Red Bull, Budweiser, Corona, Crown Royal, etc. Not only that we have the medical side. Institutional money is inevitable with more reform progression. You're short sighted if you fail to see any of this. Also been seeing comments that MSOS, and other American operators never achieving ATH's again which I think is fucking stupid. When MSOS was at 50 and someone told you during that hysteria we'd be at 2$ at one point would call you insane as we're seeing now just in reverse. You can have your opinion but I'm a buyer and "diamond hander" at these levels because I truly believe we're in a once in a lifetime opportunity in the sense that we'll never get the chance to invest in a multi billion $ market that's been prohibited and going mainstream. I just have a longer timeline and can weather the storm and political bullshit along the way. We see different things, and no it's not cops if you look at where marijuana and how it was viewed and sold 10 years ago to today, it's exponentially different, you think it's just going to stop?

You were pretty specific about MSOS closing at $4.54 **today** because it would limit your downside risk go 20% though. But yeah whatever, I have been doing nothing but watching these tickers since I bought more at $4.52 I'm not buying more again as now I'm prioritizing my VT position again.

UsedState7381

So...What are your projections for now that, *for once*, MSOS actually pumped into the close, closing at $4.80 today?

UsedState7381

Gap fill for MSOS is $3.89, why do have your downside to 20% that sounds like a lot.

Twist_of_Fate_44

Ran some numbers on different timelines and if we hit today's expected close of $4.54 on MSOS, it limits the short-term, downside risk to around 20%. So somewhere in/about $3.63 USD. It'll soon be gambling time again ..

volckerwasright

I think some of this price action can be explained by the 17k open puts at MSOS $5, expiring today. Not saying they run otm, but this is the rare instance where opex is heavily heavily bear weighted

If it happens, first reaction could be a 30-40% pop. Maybe see a $6-7 MSOS, probably closer to $6.50 But it will surely be followed by a good 50-60% drop when folks realize that it's going to get tied up in all sorts of complicated legal BS and bureaucratic channels for the next year or more
