Sky-high stock valuations can be sexy, which is currently the case with pot stocks. And they can become even sexier when it appears as if they will continue to soar.
It seems impossible to watch the business news these days without encountering a segment on the booming cannabis industry, especially with the legalization of marijuana looming in Canada.
