MSOS

skyplt29

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.

So I guess the story for today was that all the MSOS benefitted from tariffs somehow?

MSOS on the trendline take a loan out buy now.

Did weed get tariffs today or something? God damn -10% on MSOS today.

Throw_Away_TrdJrnl

Hedged my MSOS yesterday after the Kass pump. Glad I did

skyplt29

Volume seems to be trying to tell a story with Cresco. It is the only one trading close to its average volume whereas MSOS and others are about half volume. I have no idea why Cresco is being swung like this...guesses?

Obligatory comment every time MSOS goes down 10%+: "ow my butt"

Oof this is so annoying. I was up on my MSOS position yesterday and today down. Glad it’s only shares but still… when the fuck is the DEA gonna make their announcement?

MSOS giving up all gains but... CGC the best performing cannabis stock so far in 2026 🤣. another fart in the faces of value investors in cannabis, if there are any left. 

Twist_of_Fate_44

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

Really? $5 CCs for June? I hope it works for you, but I also hope S3 comes before then. I hope all the cannabis companies produce CBD and get Medicare coverage and their SP blows MSOS way past 6.

You would be correct. As per his diary:  I added to  ([**MSOS**](https://www.thestreet.com/quote/MSOS))  at $3.74 and **(MSOX)** at $2.68.

This OPEX thing mystifies me. Is it Puts or Calls that are driving it tomorrow...seems like we are pretty flat with MSOS around 3.80 to 4.00. What's the "magic" number this time around?

Gap fill is here for MSOS, all gains made all the way back from Trump's executive order rumours and then the real thing, have been erased. Outstanding.

Too early to tell. I'm 2x on my individual MSO holdings that I bought in 2024-2025. 3x on VFF. Bagholding on some OGI and micro caps, which I'll rebalance into MSOS if I don't see improvement.

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.

MSOS will see the biggest boost over the next year

Twist_of_Fate_44

On track for fills MSOS .. $3.76 GTII .. $8.81 TRUL .. $8.27 \------------- Possible but will naturally be harder to hit due to the lower SPs and the old 'penny stock effect' CL .. $1.05 VRNO .. $1.28 \-------------- Long shot, but it's still sitting there waiting CURA .. $2.41 (from Aug/25)

MSOS finally broke under $4 support today, I guess the gap fill should be coming very soon now.

DEASqueezeAllComing

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.

I have MSOS at a $6.60 max gain, and that's only if it happens before they lose the $3.75 range here And it's 100% going to be just another sell the news event, thinking anything else and you'll only be back here two-weeks after the fact crying the blues about how this time should've been different ..

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.

At some point in the next few months there are going to be a lot of people kicking themselves that they didn't load up on MSOS at these prices. The rescheduling executive order was already signed in December, and final rescheduling is imminent.

The specific source for this data is **ETF Database (etfdb.com)**, which provides rolling fund flow metrics for MSOS.  * **Source Name:** ETF Database (ETFdb) * **Data Point:** 6 Month Net Flows * **Value:** **$281.4 M** * **Reporting Period:** August 2025 – February 2026 * **URL:** [MSOS AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF - ETF Database](https://etfdb.com/etf/MSOS/)  Contextual Flow Breakdown (as of Feb 2026) To provide a complete picture of institutional movement, the following flow data is also reported:  * **3 Month Net Flows:** $74.37 M * **1 Year Net Flows:** $329.03 M * **Net AUM Change (6 Months):** $446.59 M (This reflects both the $281.4M in new cash and the market appreciation of the underlying assets). 

King_Chron

Over the last six months, MSOS has attracted **$281.4 million** in net institutional inflows, a testament to growing professional interest despite a volatile regulatory landscape. This period saw major accumulations from firms like HighTower Advisors and NewEdge Wealth, who increased their stakes by over **50%** and **80%** respectively. Most tellingly, the **Put/Call ratio of 0.26** reflects a massive institutional lean toward bullish calls over bearish puts, suggesting that while the retail price has been 'rollercoastering,' the 'smart money' is positioned for a significant upward move.

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.

skyplt29

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
