Top Blue Chip Stocks To Buy For 2019

The case for Canopy Growth

You might think that the best argument for buying Canopy Growth stock is that Canada will soon allow legalized recreational marijuana throughout the country. And that is certainly one reason to like Canopy’s prospects.

The company ranks as the largest marijuana grower in Canada and stands poised to hit the ground running when recreational marijuana officially becomes legal in October 2018. Canopy Growth already has significant production capacity and is adding even more. The company also has supply agreements with three Canadian provinces for recreational cannabis and will no doubt line up additional provinces and territories over the next few months.

And it is highly active in PI3K/Akt signaling, as well. So it’s no surprise that companies are trying to exploit this receptor as a therapeutic target. DSKYF’s U3-1402 is an antibody-drug conjugate targeting HER3 and delivering a lethal payload to tumor cells. This phase 1/2 study focused on the use of this agent in metastatic breast cancer overexpressing HER3.
