SHRM.C is the leader in the emerging psychedelics/mental health treatment sector. Recent pullback from the $2.40 high presents a nice opportunity, in my opinion. Tested $1.10 twice and appears to have found the bottom with hourly MACD/RSI suggesting it is about to breakout. Positive news flow. Expected to announce closing of $10M financing this week. More news with regards to their North American expansion plans expected soon as well.
