Hey everybody,

This is my first post to this site, usually I just sit back and read the opinions to further educate myself in stocks and MMJ stocks. I am still learning the intricates of evaluating a company's profile (earnings, debt, etc.) however I have been intrigued by this stock since the Forbes article came out. The premise is great and it's only a matter of years before all states are on board with MMJ.

I know no one knows the future and I'm just asking for opinions for my own learning. But in these situations, best case scenario, do insurance companies usually buy companies like this one out? I would assume that Cigna, etc. would be encompass MMJ as soon as all the legal hurdles are past. Do companies like these really survive from the ground up without being bought out? And what usually happens if they are bought? Are shareholders given the parent company's stock?

Sorry if this isn't the place for questions. Thanks and hopefully I will be a steady contributor.
