MSOS

UsedState7381

Doug Kass has been buying MSOS this week, apparently he sold last week on Friday at over $4(LoL): For those who want to check, he posts on The Street blog https://pro.thestreet.com/search?query=Msos It is very likely that this volume is just him again. Proceed with caution. (Those query links are paywalled BTW)

Twist_of_Fate_44

Ah, just realized what's happening. MSOS left a small gap on Feb 27th with a close on $3.88. Need to get that filled before we push back down Probably going to see that into the close, probably a peak up around \~$3.90. I think they'll want to close it out today, then let things fall-off into Thurs-Friday's sessions, waste those >$4 options

Institutions continue to purchase MSOS shares from disgruntled retail investors.

Friday all my stocks except MSOS were up. Today I log in and every single one is down except MSOS it's UP! Not by much at all but still

greenstreet416

I’m playing the rescheduling announcement any day now which will send $MSOS and its underlying rocketing. It’s green today undersold for sure !

MSOS must be the new safe haven lol

Twist_of_Fate_44

Another week and a half to kill here, just ran some numbers First number is an alert to watch, second one is a buy zone MSOS: $3.37 - $2.99 USD GTII: $8.10 - $7.40 CAD TRUL: $7.40 - $6.61 CAD CURA: $2.41 - $1.96 CAD CL: $1.25 - $0.99 CAD VRNO: $1.28 - $1.10 *\*all data is speculative and not to be taken as real trade ideas ;)*

lol my only two positions in my trading account are green. $MSOS and an OTC pharma stock.

Yup and the people waiting for one last pump will be next. You can only have so much patience and put up with government BS for so long where it just isn’t worth it anymore. Then all the scumbags and dirtbags involved can trade shares back and forth to each other. Hopefully MSOS etf gets liquidated too. Noah and Dan have taken enough mismanagement fees from retail already.

Tiaan

For what it's worth, AV posted images today showing that he bought over $50k of $MSOX throughout the day. Seems kind of odd to buy MSOX instead of MSOS given that it will drop and decay much harder than MSOS if we keep getting radio silence on rescheduling

rockum

How does MSOS amplify downturns and deaden upturns? It's a gift isn't it?

Fearless_fx

Might genuinely see all time lows again before getting any sustained rebound at this rate… MSOS in the $2’s seems possible.

MSOS is already -2% on overnight hours. Oh well..

MSOS because rescheduling is imminent

UsedState7381

Maybe this new war might not be so bad, Israel reports that the main target is dead and they have his body. I do not see the country transitioning into a democracy anytime soon though...Could possibly be a reprisal of Venezuela here, where the US bombs the country, gets their target, makes their demands and the country complies, and then the USA just fucks off and let the country left to it's own accords. Short-term future for our stocks easy to predict though: We dump starting this Monday on "risk-off" sellings, MSOS goes down and hits the whales's stop losses so they pull out, further crashing the stock and underlyings. I sure hope that things will be looking better at the end of March and start of April when the CBD program starts, or a least we get *something* from the DOJ about S3's final rule.

skyplt29

Well...fuck. On Friday I sold off half of my weedstocks as I was expecting something to blow up in the Middle East over the weekend. I weighed this off against the slight possibility of some news on S3 early next week. Of course the priority is the well being and safekeeping of humans so I sincerely hope this war is short. As much as I hate war...I hate the idea of Iran having nuclear weapons. I hope this is going to get the desired outcome. The sad irony for me is I sold off a bunch of oil company shares in January (when it looked like crude was headed to $55USD a barrel after Venezuela) to buy some Cresco and MSOS (and admittedly some Tilray) shares I thought were oversold after the EO. I could not have gotten that one more wrong! Should have stayed put in oil shares. In my perfect world I will buyback the weedstock shares I sold off yesterday during Monday morning's inevitable 'risk off' selloff, the war will be short lived, oil prices (and thus oil company shares) will subsequently come down, S3, SAFER, and 280E relief will happen, then weedstocks will skyrocket and I will exit this sector. Hey, a fella can dream can't he? Good weekend. Stay safe. Pray for peace. These days it seems like every day brings a new WTF moment.

UsedState7381

Regular retail doesn't do insider trading, by definition. As a matter of fact, neither does Doug...He has some sources on the "inside" of politics, but those are a hit and miss, kinda like the sources from MJ Herald. Last year his sources were right about Trump rescheduling cannabis, he first acted on it and pumped the stocks, then he backed out because his sources told him it wasn't happening, then the rumours about the executive order appeared on CNBC and then he got back in. What he is, is a whale to that just does pumps and dumps...Pretty easy to do with these stocks since they are predictable on low volume. It's clear that this latest pump of his failed to get MSOS even $4.20, so for now he's in the red just like all of us, means he will be getting out of it at a loss, again. I predict that MSOS will be around 3.50 when he does it.

Jane Street Capital did not make direct contributions to any federal candidate in the 2024 election cycle. Ken Griffin has contributed over $248 million to conservative causes since 2015. These two hedge funds are familiar with shorting this sector. Jane Street is now facing scrutiny over allegations of naked short selling. The Citadel is not. MSOS December 18, 2025 - Off-exchange short volume: 22 million shares (dark pool). February 27, 2026 - Off-exchange short volume: 426,886 shares (dark pool). On December 18, Hemp Moment published an article 45 minutes before President Trump signed the executive order.

It looks like everybody is getting a much deserved two-week holiday So I'm just gonna sit back and relax a little today, maybe watch the indexes tumble a bit while they look for some footing amongst all the current political back-drop Going to run thru some MSOS/MSO trigger points later this weekend/next-week, but that $2.80-3.30 range is probably going to be the next buy-zone here on MSOS It's sure looking to me like S3ason is officially set for opening the week of Mar 16-20th Have a great weekend all, even you Kaiser\_Khan! ;) lol \--------- *Disclaimer .. \*For entertainment purposes only, the content presented on this post is intended for informational purposes only.

Retail investors are waiting for the final rule on Schedule III, so they're sitting on the sidelines. In the meantime, institutions are continuing to add to their current positions. 1. The number of days in 2026 that the MSOS ETF traded over 11 million shares: 1 2. Institutional Owners: 192 total, 184 long only, 1 short only, 7 long/short.

MSOS The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a technical indicator that tracks price trends by giving more weight to recent data, making it faster to react to price changes than a Simple Moving Average (SMA). It is widely used to identify buy/sell signals, determine trend direction, and establish support/resistance levelsp

Sigh. Yea the MSOS guys in cahoots with Twitter accounts are grinding the system in a low volume, low demand equities. But here’s the thing….if the “market” actually valued weedstocks to have a lot of upside ppl would be buying these shits and it wouldn’t matter.

Has MSOS ever seen positive momentum after earnings of the bigger players? I can't really recall significant moves in either direction in the past.

As of late yesterday, the sense of urgency for the trading day had eased following the State of the Union address, particularly given the lack of any mention of reclassification. However, the short‑term reversal into bull territory is gaining momentum mid‑day today, and the urgency around MSOS is returning. We’re seeing bids consistently taking out the asks, accompanied by a continued uptrend. End‑of‑day action will be telling. If MSOS pushes above yesterdays highs, it would be a very positive signal and suggest strong continuation.

Volatility drag/daily rebalancing. Plus MSOS which is provides 2x leveraged expire too has been a total dog since MSOX came out. Plus I do not trust the people who run it, at all. Fine as a trading vehicle but it really Should not be held longer than a few sessions.

Oh, you've bought MSOX? Those you're supposed to sell for profits because they decay overtime due to options activity. I'd roll those profits over to MSOS.

MSOS is printing... and it's just getting warmed up. If POTUS says anything positive about rescheduling tonight it could double by the end of the week.

These POS stocks would have been better off just going sideways on OTC for the past 5 years instead of getting yanked around by MSOS/Adviseorshares

volckerwasright

Doug is still pumping. "We have been aggressively buying $MSOS $GLASF $TCNNF $GTBIF and $TSNDF" "We expect rescheduling to be announced imminently. Cannabis investors have been taken to the woodshed and beat up over the last five years and even recently (despite the initial statement by @potus that he is recommending rescheduling)." I think his "confusion" at why anyone would sell on EO day is laughable considering he was first in line to sell, and was dunking on Twitter longs. For anyone new, Doug is a whale who periodically pumps and dumps this sector.

Competitive-Ant2876

Doug kass and AV being “duped” by a video killed all credibility. It was such a lie by AV, how can someone who’s relatively young, who runs a podcast, be “duped” by a video he saw earlier in the month? Doug, AV and MSOS is the worse thing to happen to the sector. Quite literally the only credible source in the sector is SAM. I opened some positions once I saw KS filed a bill to reschedule on a state basis and then I added after watching SAMs video.

MSOS buying the shares WAS his exit liquidity

That was an MSOS exit candle, been Kassed out to dry again Fully expecting to see a mid-to-low $3.6x on the close today

UsedState7381

If he can push MSOS to above $4.20 then I'm sure he will sell it. At around $3.80 and under it looks like it's safe to buy, at least for this last week of February.

Thumbszilla

We're just over 60 after the executive order to expedite cannabis rescheduling, and the State of the Union is tomorrow. Considering we're due for some news and the administration needs some policy wins to tout / shift focus tomorrow, I think we hear something this week and MSOS does a face ripper.

UsedState7381

Doug Kass has resumed buying more MSOS during this drawdown and says that he will continue to buy more until cannabis is rescheduled. For those wondering about the little volume we are seeing right now.

Doug Kass has spoken - 8am post for his subscribers: Based on my contacts I think there is a good chance that cannabis rescheduling gets finalized this week. I have added to  ([**MSOS**](https://www.thestreet.com/quote/MSOS))  daily last week and I intend to buy continued weakness into the possible announcement.

I sold all of my Cresco shares Friday morning...then bought the same number back at the end of the day, but had 3K cash extra. It's been a long time since I had a winning trade in this sector. I would prefer to buy low and sell high (as the stock climbs) verses sell high and buy back in low. But a win is a win. It was not blind luck. I spent Thursday evening scouring the usual sources for news on Cresco to explain the 15% climb. I could find nothing. Friday morning I did the same thing and once again could find nothing. For the first hour it held most of its gains...but almost no volume. I sold on the first 2 cent downtick as I could not find any news to support Thursday's climb and I did a deep dive. This is not the way I want to make money in this sector. I would prefer we get some clarity on S3 and these LPs and MSOs start to realize the potential we believe they are capable of when the handcuffs come off. But to be honest, I am beginning to think I should be getting out of this (and other high risk sectors) completely and just go for blue chip dividend payers. My primary reason for this is I believe these high risk low volume shares are primarily the fodder for options traders. For the last two months most weedstocks have been trading about one quarter of their normal daily volume. This apathy makes the sector ripe for options traders to manipulate prices with few trades. Regarding options trading; try as I might, I just am not willing to multiply my risk with what is nothing more than a cursory understanding of things like puts, calls, gamma, and max pain. I hope traders like banana and geologic do well here. Anyone who is able to navigate this minefield deserves a reward. I am too stupid (or lazy...not really sure). I believe MSOS (and by extension Cresco) was gamed Thursday and Friday for no other reason for options trading. For me, that's like trying to track a chipmunk with ADD. It was a good week (made cash on a short term trade), but as I stated, I sure wish this sector would get news on S3 and hopefully an uptrend and we all make money the "traditional" way of investing in a company that becomes successful.

Don't be so sure. Unless there's better money sub <$4 on MSOS, this could just be a little healthy consolidation before they coil spring it ahead A 2-3% drop after yesterday is nothing. 'They' have the shares and can move things however they choose

MSOS gap fill @ $3.80 and then it's off to the races after rescheduling IMHO

UsedState7381

Nope. Gap fill for MSOS is at $3.79, may wanna round it down to $3.70 just in case. Regardless, if there is another market-wide dump tomorrow, we should be hitting it quickly, will be a good spot to start DCAing all the way down to $3.00 if the DOJ doesn't moves.

UsedState7381

>Cannabis is essentially anti beta Doesn't really looks like they are, they dump along with the major indexes and never pump along with them. One of the reasons why MSOS is still the majority of my portfolio is because I believe it will fare well in case the whole market shits the bed for several readings weeks and months, but that scenario has yet to be tested.

December 18th 2025 S3 was signed January 20th EO order signed was mentioned in the 365 wins list of the white house. S3 went from a probability to a certainty. The only unknown is when will it become a final rule. This is why I changed my strategy and I am only invested in boring companies that can afford to wait without doing reverse split + dilution or taking high interest debt just to close a short term debt. I only hold GTBIF and CRON, use to hold MSOS and CGC like a degenerate (glad I cut my loss after orange mango won the elections) Now that I only look at my portfolio and post here when I buy more, I feel much better. Will only really feel good when my patience is rewarded but that's another story ;) Good luck everyone :)

King_Chron

its the same ones, a handful. They have nothing meaningful to add, and are a constant negative only. a lot of these are perma bears are traders thinking that they are buddied up with the real money thats able to move the etf through index arb. Most of them blatantly cherry pick their info to spread and strawman every argument. Most of them make the bears look very ill informed. They are the ones that will call out BS technicals even if the price doesnt do what they projected, they still take it as a win lol. bad calls left and right, great way to get chopped up. Its way to easy to look at a 5 year chart on MSOS and say retroactive bearish hindsight or digs all while ignoring the current state of the industry.

SAFE/Uplisting needed to happen 4+ years ago, politicians needed to actually want to solve the issue. It is inexcusable that such a straight forward and popular policy has been left to fester for a decade of "legal" sales. There is so much overhead, animosity, and panic to just get out with something in this sector... Without institutional investment, without forced buying for balancing... this sector is doomed to pump and dumps forever. Look at every single pump and dump of the last 5 years, every single one has failed to break the high of the previous. If that trend continues... this next pump will be lucky to break 7$ on MSOS, $10 if things get absolutely wild again... that is beyond pathetic to wait around for and as always: only benefits short term traders.

UsedState7381

If there is a pop that is substantial enough on MSOS, I'll sell my shares on it and wait 30 days to see what happens with the final rule, if a judge doesn't grant a stay for litigation and the rescheduling process can move forward, I might DCA back in after taking some profits. My MSOS price average is around $5.70, I hope we can see it hitting $10 on the pop, but at this point and with this little volume, I doubt it will.

Competitive-Ant2876

It’s literally a synthetic ETF, the cash swaps are created. Some hedge funds can’t hold overnight hence why MSOS is bad for the sector and it seems like prices get pinned. When the swaps are created there’s an agreement that they won’t sell or buy at until SP hits a certain price. This is because only a handful of providers can create the swaps. It’s not the MM, that shit is dumb. MM make money of the execution of the trade not if it makes or looses money.

1_FCKTRD

I have always found the last five minutes of trading on MSOS to be chaotic and subject to manipulation. However, the last ten minutes of trading on MSOS recently have been excessive and seem to involve more than just MMs executing their trades at the end of the day to better align with the underlying shares. Institutions now hold a total of $276,466,000 of MSOS, which represents 33.3% of AUM.
