Weed Inc. is one of by the companies that have felt the full wrath of short sellers as it has continued to edge lower.The stock has imploded in part because of the management team failing to issue substantial news that investors can use to gauge internal operational efficiencies as well as long-term plansThe last substantial piece of information about the company’s operations came in the first quarter when the company said it had completed the acquisition of a 4-acre property in La Veta Colorado. In connection with the acquisition, Weed Inc. also received approval from the La Veta Town Council for the construction of a Bioscience Research Center.

“We are excited to begin the build-out of our bioscience research facility, and look forward to our staff working in the new state-of-the-art laboratory facilities we are constructing.

A lack of press releases and the fact that the stock is down by more than 70% makes it impossible to gauge Weed Inc. long-term prospects. It is still early to gauge whether the stock will be able to make a comeback once the overall industry downturn cools off.Long-term prospects for the industry look bright thanks to the expansion of the overall market with the legalization of recreational use in North America. While the marijuana sector has proved to be extremely lucrative, companies that have proven business models and are aggressive in pursuing emerging opportunities are likely to walk away with a bigger slice of the pie.Weed Inc. is yet to show how it intends to take the fight to other players in the industry, in pursuit of market share. Until the company comes up with its long-term plans and underscores its operational efficiencies, it may be wise to maintain a cautious approach to any investments in the stock, especially after the recent sell-off.In light of the long-term downtrend, it would be wise to wait for a breakout to signify that the trendline has been broken.We will be updating our subscribers as soon as we know more.
