It’s time for your Daily Hit of financial cannabis news for July 5, 2018.
The markets were closed on Wednesday in honor of the Fourth of July. Because of the holiday, news has been fairly light this week and today was no exception. It feels like many companies either took the first two days of the week off or the second.

Just starting out. Just got my accounts set up with e-trade and Canadian Stock Exchange. I’m looking to invest in cannabis with a somewhat diverse portfolio. Any “winners” to get me started? I have 1200 to play with but three girls in hockey so I have to be smart!
