Relying on PR over official data
Cannabis company press releases are easily accessible and highly visible online because companies often make strong marketing and public relations (PR) efforts to promote their stocks. But relying on press releases as the primary information resource for making investment decisions is a mistake because they present a one-sided viewpoint that is favorable to the managers of that company. Pot investors should instead use pot stock investment sources such as OTCMarkets.com and Sedar.com. Cannabis companies that file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) often present more balanced and fair information about their performance.
