  1. This is not a surprise. The fund is maturing and realizing the need to diversify to ensure growth for the long term.

    I talked about this some time back. Their weight distribution was a bit lopsided and i was calling for a drop to 30%. Seems someone was listening.

  2. The US market is increasingly legalizing pot and so having some exposure to it in your holdings is always good. Volatility is still high but as the Americans grow up and finally legalize it, it will be a bargain that you got in now.

  3. I'm still not comfortable investing in this because of the instability in the medical marijuana market.

  4. It sure is Bob but market makers get nervous and react by selling off on any signs of danger. Me thinks its about the instability of trade due to the U.S.

  5. Very strange move considering cannabis is a sure thing, especially for us Canadians.

  6. So it tumbled 11% in the first 3 days of the week. Great! Now i can buy on the low end. Thanks for the heads up!

  7. And once again the trade war rears its ugly head. 🙁

  8. Profit taking 101. Nothing unusual.
