Shroom Stocks Take Center Stage After Latest IPO
There’s a new breed of penny stocks you might’ve not heard of recently. It’s called psychedelic stocks. You might’ve also heard about shroom or mushroom stocks. But now we’ve got the next phase, potential.
That’s all thanks to a recent IPO backed by Paypal founder Peter Thiel. A few weeks ago we started discussing the now public Compass Pathways PLC (CMPS Stock Report). The article, “Top Mushroom Penny Stocks To Watch In September 2020,” was all about what to look for ahead of this major IPO.
For the most part, psychedelic penny stocks have been inaccessible by the Robinhood community. Most of these companies either trade on the Canadian exchange or are dually listed with an OTC stock ticker. This month, however, we might have seen the first indication of “Bloom Chip Stocks” or what I will call the Blue Chips of psychedelics.
Compass has now brought access to the segment, and with that, a means to become familiar with the potential in front of investors right now. It’s still very early in the evolution and some compare it to the early days of cannabis.
Fly-by-night names have certainly had their place early on. But now traders and investors are looking for ways to sink their teeth in a bit deeper. One of the main ideas behind this initiative is to tap into opioid-free treatment methods for addressing neurological illnesses.
Still Early For Psychedelic Penny Stocks
Despite this latest Bloom Chip Stock IPO, there’s likely still a long road ahead for psychedelic stocks in general. That’s not necessarily a bad thing either. It’s mixed the medical attributes addressing neurological diseases while also beginning to fold in somewhat of a recreational component. It isn’t just the psychoactive compound either. Companies are now aiming their sites at health & wellness too.
