This week, a Canadian cannabis company received the stock ticker equivalent of the #rarest novelty license plate, as Weekend Unlimited officially laid claim to the symbol POT on the Canadian Stock Exchange. Previously, the company\u2019s ticker was YOLO \u2014 and, no, we\u2019re not joking.<\/p>\n

According to Yahoo Finance<\/em><\/u><\/a>, the symbol was so desirable that the Canadian Securities Exchange held a \u201crandom lottery\u201d on Wednesday \u2014 the first of its kind \u2014 to figure out who would nab the coveted three letters. And now that the symbol has been doled out, it\u2019s exclusive to Weekend Unlimited and cannot be transferred to another company. <\/p>\n

\u201cWeekend Unlimited (YOLO) is thrilled to add the iconic POT trading symbol to its identity,\u201d CEO Paul Chu said in a statement.<\/u><\/a> \u201cThe POT symbol is a tremendous fit with our brand identity.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the company\u2019s website<\/u><\/a>, Weekend Unlimited \u201caggregates and scales small to medium brands, primarily in the categories of flower, extracts, and edibles.\u201d The company hopes their new stock symbol will \u201craise Weekend Unlimited\u2019s leadership profile,\u201d though it\u2019s still waiting on confirmation from the CSE before the POT ticker is officially secured. <\/p>\n

POT is certainly a step up from YOLO, but our minds are reeling at other potential ticker names. Has anyone claimed NUG, BUD, or DANK yet? What about ACAB? In any case, congrats to Weekend Unlimited \u2014 the stock market\u2019s nomenclature just got a lot more entertaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
