Joshua Brown of Ritholtz Wealth Management picked Uber Technologies, Inc. UBER, which rose to a new all-time high on Thursday.

The ride-sharing company has emerged in the area of federal marijuana lobbying, as reported by Marijuana Moment. The company has shown interest in the Secure and Fair Enforcement Regulation (SAFER) Banking Act, marking its first foray into federal marijuana advocacy. The banking reform proposal, if passed, would safeguard financial institutions that work with state-licensed cannabis businesses from federal repercussions.

On Wednesday, Gordon Haskett analyst Robert Mollins downgraded Uber Technologies from Buy to Hold and announced a $66 price target.
