Yesterday, we suggested that cannabis stocks might kick off the month of September in style. Our three highlighted names (CBWTF, GTBIF, and CURLF) advanced in huge moves, along with a number of other stocks in the space. Today, we are going to look at some other names that may have some gas in the tank.
Discovery Gold Corp (OTCMKTS:DCGD) is an interesting new player in the cannabis space now doing business as GRN Holding Corporation. It may be even more interesting because of the team that seems to be coming together here. This is a reverse merger play involving some grass-roots cannabis VC skin in the game, which helps to paint the story.
If you’re long this stock, then you’re liking how the stock has responded to the announcement. DCGD shares have been moving higher over the past week overall, pushing about 78% to the upside on above average trading volume. Shares of the stock have powered higher over the past month, rallying roughly 88% in that time on strong overall action.
This new identity emerged in the clear public light after the company announced that it had added venture and financing industry veteran Justin Costello to its Strategic Advisory Board. In this capacity, Mr. Costello is expected to help guide Cannabis Global Inc.’s strategic planning, investments and partnerships in the rapidly growing cannabis industry.
Mr. Costello also manages and is the CEO of GRN Funds, LLC, a private equity and hedge fund that secures banking resources for small to medium businesses and ancillaries. “We are excited to have Justin Costello join the Cannabis Global Inc. team.

To help further flesh out the story, the company just announced a corporate name change to GRN Holding Corporation. In addition, the company also put out word that it added Chris Irish and Kyle Hockenstein to its management team. According to the release, Mr. Irish will hold the position of Controller and Mr. Hockenstein will hold the position of Vice President of Operations. “Mr. Irish is a senior business leader with 16 years of experience in all facets of accounting, financial analysis, controllership, and will be very helpful in keeping all fiscal aspects of the company in place,” commented Justin Costello, CEO of the company.
