A Different Perspective
While 48North Cannabis shareholders are down 11% for the year, the market itself is up 1.2%. While the aim is to do better than that, it's worth recalling that even great long-term investments sometimes underperform for a year or more. It's worth noting that the last three months did the real damage, with a 40% decline. So it seems like some holders have been dumping the stock of late - and that's not bullish.
