Past gains do not dictate future potential though. Back then the market was entirely different. Like you said no company was really producing and had sales at the time so everyone was betting on who it would be. Now today we have huge companies like Canopy, Aurora, Tilray with massive facilities, plenty of cash (Canopy still does at least), already producing a lot of inventory, and plenty of brand exposure. Betting on OTC companies to take their market share away replacing them and being number one is not feasible at this point. That does not mean they will not be successful. It just means the playing field has changed. Now that we have companies achieving much more there is a bar to be met to receive those valuations and investors will look at that. All imo, but an OTC company should never be worth more than those big guys far ahead in many aspects
