Pot stocks have blazed higher this year. Since its low on March 23, the North American Marijuana Index has gained 92.15%... That's double the rebound that the Dow Jones, the S&P 500 and even the Nasdaq have enjoyed. In part it's because cannabis dispensaries were deemed essential businesses during the pandemic and economic shutdown. But as we look further down the road - past the haze of the pandemic - cannabis is poised to rocket even higher. I believe we're talking about at least a $200 billion global opportunity by the end of the decade. And the U.S. would represent $80 billion of that. This isn't an industry to ignore. Especially for investors with longer time horizons who can weather the volatility. Sales for the cannabis industry are in the billions and are rapidly growing. At the moment, California is the largest legal weed market in the world. And we have other billion-dollar opportunities in Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Washington. But as a cannabis investor, I like one market above all others: Nevada. It's primed for success because it's built on tourism. Each year, more than 45 million people flock to Las Vegas. They come for conventions, vacations, bachelor or bachelorette parties, or just plain old fun. And there's one company dominating the Nevada cannabis market. New Highs and OutperformanceI'm not going to go so far as to say that Las Vegas is my favorite city. But it is home to my favorite dispensary - the Planet 13 Holdings (OTC: PLNHF) Superstore. The Superstore is an enormous entertainment complex. It's not only the largest dispensary in the world but also the closest dispensary to the heart of the Strip. And both these characteristics are key to Planet 13's success. They allow the company to operate from a position of strength in a market dominated by tourism. How strong is Planet 13's position? Well, the Superstore accounted for more than 10% of all cannabis sales in the state of Nevada for the first quarter of 2020. That's one location accounting for all of those sales. |
