How to trade Aurora Cannabis shares?

An individual has two options when trading in the stock market. Firstly, they can buy shares in companies on the exchanges where they are listed. For instance, you can invest in ACB shares on the TSX and NYSE, so you actually own a share in the company. This can be considered a long-term investment, as the individual is usually waiting for the price to rise over time.

Alternatively, they can trade a contract for difference (CFD) on a particular marijuana stock, and speculate on the ACB share price difference, without actually owning the asset. A CFD is a financial contract, typically between a broker and an investor, where one party agrees to pay the other the difference in the value of a security, between the opening and closing of the trade. You can either hold a long position (speculating that the price will rise) or a short position (speculating that the price will fall). This is considered a short-term investment or trade, as CFDs tend to be used within shorter timeframes.

The key difference between trading a long position with a CFD and buying a security is the leverage that is employed. CFDs are traded on margin, which means that a trader can open larger positions with their capital.

History of Aurora Cannabis

Aurora was founded in 2006 by Terry Booth, Dale Lesak, Steve Dobler
and Chris Mayerson in Canada. The founders secured over 160 acres of land in Mountain View County – the first Aurora facility.

In 2014, the company received a license to grow and sell medical cannabis and became the first official cannabis producer in the area. Later on, Aurora Cannabis built several growing facilities across the country and also in Europe.

In July 2017, following its graduation from the TSX Venture Exchange, Aurora Cannabis stock started trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The company doubled the number of registered patients and tripled its monthly revenue. With a growing international expansion in Germany and Australia, the company increased its market capitalisation by more than $600 million to almost $950 million.

In October 2018, one of the leading marijuana stocks debuted on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). According to Aurora’s CEO Terry Booth, the company intends to "meet the growing demand for high-quality cannabis both in Canada and abroad".

Today, Aurora is rapidly diversifying its offering through multiple acquisitions, strategic partnerships and R&D.

In 2019 the ACB stock has seen double-digit declines and investors are wondering whether the share price can improve to close the year on a higher note.

The Canadian medical market seems saturated with medical marijuana and it is difficult to predict when the international sales would contribute to Aurora’s success.

The two most significant factors that could help Aurora are the launch of the Cannabis 2.0 derivative products market and the anticipated opening of more retail cannabis stores in Ontario, as Aurora’s recreational marijuana brands are popular and can bring the company a tremendous growth.
