I agree. I think you made the best decision under the circumstances. $10K is still a decent amount of seed capital. As someone once said, there's always opportunity for the realist. With maturity, the mmj sector is getting interesting. Mostly chaff, but some wheat. If you look at MMJ sector and limit focus to fully reporting companies and, happily, transfer agents that don't wear gags [lol], you may find several stocks with good volume and volatility for interesting short term trading opportunities -- after a period of familiarity with the issues and their patterns.
