Aurora Cannabis, Inc.: Case Study
Diversity of Small Caps
Aurora Cannabis Inc. (ACB.CN) Our group decided to only pick three small cap companies to invest in, because we were only left with $3,000 to invest with, so we spent $1,000 on shares on each of the 3 companies. The first company we invested $1,000 into was Aurora Cannabis Inc. (ACB.CN). Aurora Cannabis is a licensed producer of medical marijuana, and is a key player in the cannabis industry. Our group picked this stock because medical/legal marijuana is becoming very popular and is making people a lot of money. Even though we knew, we wanted to invest in something small with Marijuana it was kind of hard to find a great stock, because a lot of them have not gone public. I personally think this was a great investment. Even if you look at just the 3 month graph (about as long as we have been doing this project) the stock

(NTGR). Net gear Inc. is a computer networking company that produces technology equipment, but specializes in wireless technology, like routers and modems. A few reasons we decided to go with NetGear, one is because in 2014 they launched a whole line of wireless security products. We feel like in the next few years NetGear, could change the technology used in video surveillance. This would greatly help the stock of the company and would be beneficial to buy stock before the price increases. That being said, the company really didn’t perform very well in the last few months. Three months ago when we would have purchased the stock it went for 57.29 in just three months the stock has went down to 52.25 with a Market Cap of 1.73B. If it were me, I would sell the stock before I lost too much money and try and get into something new. We decided to invest in this company because it was technology based and well we live in a technology age it just might have not been the right choice, but at least we only lost a few dollars per

    In my opinion, I would keep the stock. I would weigh the advantages and disadvantages of the company. Even though the company has a large carbon footprint, I would research how the company mitigates this and how do they make up for it. The company appears to be partaking in a minor form of impact investing. In our text it states “Impact investing is a recently coined term that invokes using investment finance to make an impact for the better across communities and environments” (Fieser, Moseley, 2012, p 10.2). The fact that the company says it uses some of its profits to invest in green renewable energy shows that it is at least addressing the problem.…

    Unincorporated areas have mixed zoning allowed for commercial and residential buildings to coexist. This now becomes a problem because according to Crystal Thomas and Bridget Freisthler, authors of “Examining the Locations of Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in Los Angeles,” medical marijuana dispensaries are mainly operating in locations that are commercially zoned, with easy access to highways. Thomas and Freisthler emphasize that, “an analysis of the location of dispensaries throughout 39 California cities indicate that dispensaries are located in block groups with higher rates of poverty, co-located next to alcohol outlets, and in areas just outside of city boundaries.” This puts impressionable youth, that may already be at risk at an even…

    1. Marijuana is a very controversial topic. For a long time the issue of legalization has been debated. The media displays marijuana as a gate way drug relating it to other drugs and there harmful effects. There has been a lot of research on its health effects, which the media doesn’t portray. With all the negativity being said about marijuana from both the media and my family, I wanted to take my time and to research the benefits of marijuana. Just like alcohol I believe marijuana should have the same law and be recreational or used when the medical aspects are needed. But just like all favorable things they shouldn’t be abused.…

Parts of the Cannabis plants are a very obvious example; there are currently seventeen states that have legalized medicinal marijuana for use by patients with a qualifying medical condition that has been evaluated by a physician. Cannabis is safe and effective at treating peripheral neuropathy, which causes great suffering to HIV/AIDS patients. Cannabis is also very effective in alleviating the pain and nausea caused from many other medical conditions and/or the treatments, such as chemotherapy, which is used to treat many forms of cancer.…

    drug, while bringing in revenue for the government. If Canada wishes to legalize marijuana, they should follow the guidelines of the United States using policy diffusion. “Canada should follow the developments of changes in marijuana-related regulations in the United States, where some of its states viz, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska have already legalized recreational use of marijuana” (Hajizadeh 455). Policy diffusion is a very intriguing tool for the Canadian government to use in the situation involving legalizing marijuana. “Although experience of legalization in these states is different from the national legalization in Canada, these examples still can provide valuable information during the drafting of the new law in Canada.”…

    In response to the question “should the Canadian government decriminalize the possession of marijuana?” Citizen One thinks that decriminalizing marijuana is a step in the wrong direction. She believes that there should be increasing penalties for marijuana possession and that the government should enforce harsher punishments and laws in relation to drugs. Citizen One thinks that if the government of Canada criminalizes the use and possession of what most youth consider as “weed,” then less lives would be destroyed. Marijuana is a drug which impairs a youth’s ability to recall, suppression of the immune system; and short-term responses including anxiety and panic. Hence, Citizen one believes that the negative aspects of the drug simply outweigh…
