Magic Mushroom Companies - Hype or Future Medicine?

Yeah, no need to jump off the ride yet. Once Nasdaq main list is achieved, a ten-bagger is in store for those of us who got in early.

I’ve bought through Degiro myself; you can buy from the Frankfurt stock exchange there with about 7e in commission fees.

P.S. It’s been a nice ride these past few weeks. MINDMED has become the largest holding in my Degiro portfolio, today it was green for the first time in my portfolio at +300%, currently (+297%), with an average price still at 0.5806.

I’d also be interested to hear more about other similar psychedelic companies. From my limited Googling, I’ve come across other psychedelic companies:
Hollister Biosciences
Revive Therapeutics
COMPASS Pathways.

I haven’t looked into those in more detail and don’t own any yet.

Champingon Brands Inc. (SHRM) can be bought at least through Nordnet’s phone service. Today’s daily increase seems to be a hefty 41%. It looks interesting, but it’s quite difficult to do more thorough research on these.

Psychedelic companies are certainly in the green today (too).

Is it the news below or what’s driving them up? Anyway, today the whole Degiro portfolio is up 14%, due to the recent rises in my largest holding, Mind Medicine. Today I also took an opening position in Red Light Holland Corp, which is also nicely up +70% at the moment.

I’m very interested in this industry and Mindmed, but like other hype plays, the problem is that I have no idea about target prices and such. I looked into this over a year ago and had the same problem then. Although there wasn’t any hype yet. I still have no idea at what price this should be bought and how high the price could be imagined to rise in, for example, 12 months. In these moments, I’m grateful for Inderes’ follow-ups :slight_smile:

You have to be very careful with these, so you don’t jump in at the top of the mountain like with Nikola/GNUS. Then you’ll wonder why your position is down -50% the day after buying, and you’ll spend the next couple of years trying to break even.

If you follow social media, there’s a really strong hype and pump going on. Many people are still going to burn their fingers just like they did with cannabis stocks a few years back.

These companies are certainly setting out to solve big problems, and if an effective medicine for even one condition can be brought to market, a lot of money will come in. However, I don’t see the current market caps as justified for these companies, as it feels like they’re springing up like mushrooms after rain out of nowhere.

Mindmed, Numinus, and Compass are definitely companies worth following if the sector interests you. At these prices, though, I wouldn’t buy them.

Doesn’t this mean that Mind Medicine will receive more funding, and that yesterday’s +20% increase will be reversed back to the offer price ($4.4) today?

“Mind Medicine (NEO: MMED)*** is raising even more cash. The company this evening announced that they have agreed to conduct a $50.0 million bought deal public offering, lead by Canaccord Genuity Corp. The financing is to be conducted at a price of $4.40 per unit, a significant 21.4% discount to today’s closing price of $5.60.”

Looks like a day of gains for this sector! Didn’t Numinus have the use of MDMA in PTSD treatment in its portfolio?

This is how I’ve understood it. MAPS collaborates with Numinus, utilizing Numinus’ clinics and the “exemption” granted by the government to research these treatment methods.

Here’s a bit on the topic, where Finland stands, and what the atmosphere is like.

Quite possibly the first of its kind, a psychedelic ETF will be launched soon with the ticker $PSYK

Here’s also a pretty good graph and summary of the sector’s situation:

It’s very challenging to evaluate these, but for example, the Compass team certainly has serious expertise and has already made significant progress in the field of psilocybin-assisted therapy. The big mystery, of course, is what can be patented here, if anything? I personally see a scenario where certain trusted operators are granted special permits/exclusive rights in certain markets to provide psychedelic-assisted services.

For some reason, Nordnet seems to have completely blocked the purchase of MMEDF today. You can sell through a phone broker. Why, I wonder, since trading just became possible through the app..? It has also risen over 13% today due to the news, so it’s incredibly annoying. So we’re again in a situation where we can’t reduce holdings in the evening, no matter how much it goes up.

That smells like a bug in NN’s end, which has now been fixed. OTC (Over-The-Counter) stocks should not be able to be bought/sold there, only through phone brokers.

A few months ago when I tried to use Nordnet (NN) phone broker, I was told on the phone that from that day on, I no longer needed to call, but purchases and sales could also be done online, and I was directed to the correct application. And yesterday, suddenly, there was a red warning at the top of the Nordnet (NN) page, stating that buying was no longer possible through Nordnet at all, and selling could only be done over the phone. However, the warning has now disappeared, so it’s hard to say if it works or not. Could this somehow be mixed up with wsb-hype stocks, as similar restrictions suddenly appeared for a moment?

I sold a small slice of Mind Media on the 10th and didn’t complain about anything then. :man_shrugging:t2:

This kind of message from Nordnet, Mindmed on the list.

In accordance with the tightened requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the U.S. OTC markets have implemented mandatory risk assessments for all companies listed on the OTC markets. Due to this requirement and new restrictions from Nordnet’s sub-custodian, Nordnet can no longer offer trading (neither buying nor selling) in shares that do not receive an approved risk assessment. See this link for a list of U.S. OTC shares that you can no longer buy through Nordnet and that can no longer be sold after March 31, 2021.

Since Nordnet no longer offers trading in OTC shares that have not received an approved risk assessment, you must sell such holdings before March 31, 2021, at 23:00. You can sell your shares by placing a sell order yourself in Nordnet’s online service. If you have not sold your shares by March 31 at 23:00, you must transfer your OTC shares to another service provider to be able to sell them. After March 31, 2021, you can no longer sell these shares through Nordnet.

Argghh, I guess the beginning of this story needs to be looked at least from the listing phase.

Can anyone tell me if Degiro is able to buy this from there and is Degiro otherwise okay?
