OK now I am looking at Canadian cannabis companies because they are nationally legal and can bank unlike the freak show here in the US

I am thinking that there will be some big winners. But no sure thing like Elon on my radar yet. Once moved I will be able to visit some US cannabis company farms.

I will. There are some penny stocks in it too that can be lucrative if they go up a penny. I am new to investing other than Tesla, and I already regret selling it almost at the high point for the quarter. But being greedy can cause a loss.

I can tell you that back in the 60s, when we were smoking dope and hanging out on weekends in the Village, I never thought I'd ever see it legal here, let alone be researching investments in weed. I stopped using anything but alcohol when I joined the USAF to date, and don't think I'll be a smoker since I also quit smoking tobacco eight years ago! I was smoking three packs a day!

I like the Canadian companies because they don't have contradictory federal and state laws nor banking restrictions like here because of that. But I will be in Colorado soon. Maybe I'll grow it too:

Yep,

Once the US legalizes it federally, US marijuana stocks both medical and recreational will skyrocket IMHO. I opened my Tesla position with $25k in 2010 when it was bouncing between $17 and $22.50. In the intervening 8 year took my principal back when it went over $100 and retained 4/5ths of my shares. We then inherited some and sold out a few weeks ago at the high of $352. I may regret exiting very soon if Musk indeed does take it private. I did well.

I see the weed stocks as a major explosive charge whose fuse has been lit in the US. Timing my entry into that arena is easier than timing the market. I just need to see who has done well despite banking restrictions in the past year and leading up to full legalization US wide.

Marijuana is a fantastic opportunity that will explode here soon for those who are ready for it.

The time to do our research is now. Just like I researched Musk and Tesla from 2003 until they finally IPO'd in 2010.

I am not ready yet to commit to one company over another.

I agree and understand.  Drop me a PM on who you like or decide to go with.

Apparently one major liquor company (Constellation Brands) purchased Canopy Growth and other big alcohol companies are looking into buying the other weed growers.

Looks like I need to dig in and see what's what. Buying before a takeover can be lucrative In the right circumstances. Thnx!

From what I understand they bought a percentage of it, not all of it.  I think this happened months ago.  As they wanted to hedge on infusing TMC oils in the future.  Plus I think liquor sales drop when pot is leagal.

You go also go with a marijuana  ETF.

There's only one pot ETF so far as I know: MJ

Solar power is marching forward too.  Up to 22 percent efficiency test and easily applied to mass production:

Rich, thanks!  Good info on the dual layer solar project results. Sounds a done deal. I'm still researching.

Ryno,

Usually they sell.

They can do whatever they want. The Ames labs in 1998/99 developed a working magnetic refrigerator, built a working model, then sold the patent to a company that was a shell company. Buried it. Some folks can now use that patent and once perfected at room temps, will cause A/C units to run on the electricity to run a fan, not a compressor.

OK,

I was out of the market for just a month give or take and I am now in again so I am still in again. I posted about my dope investments in the last 24 hours here on our forums:

These two "Dope" investments are $5k less than my Tesla first investment.

I bought 2000 Shares of Aurora (ACBFF) which I made $1667 on overnight.

I bought 1000 shares of NBEV on which I lost $180.45, and which Coca Cola is thinking about buying to produce beverages with the weed and CBD they buy from Aurora.

Rich,

I made about 300% on one, and about 30% on the other since I bought them Monday. Totaling ~ $6000.00. I bought NBEV at 2.72, but the damn overload of orders caused late transactions so by the time the next day that my post went through, that should have happened the day I ordered it, ended up costing $2.99! But All's well.

I realized the pot opportunity almost too late, but gave it a full day's due diligence and found that ETF doesn't include Tilray, which is a mistake for a pot fund:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-20/bummer-for-canada-pot-etf-as-biggest-company-not-in-its-holdings

The MTF uses US Banks which is a risk until the US gets smart and legalizes Cannabis in the US. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/marijuana-etf-shifts-custody-163000492.html

Old fogies in the legislature and our population are ignorant of the capability of CBD to replace addictive pain killers like opioids, and could very well head off worse problems from the newly created middle class heroin addicts who went that route when they could not get their substance legally anymore. Big pharma, with docs taking their kickbacks, and lawmakers taking their campaign money, valued money more than ethical obligations.

CBD does only pain, with no high. In addition it is not addictive. The US needs to put down their pills and legalize marijuana federally and nationwide. Then, like dry counties, that knowingly had their drinkers driving long distances to drink, and drove home drunk, those areas can keep their opioid epidemics and rise of heroin usage by previously upstanding citizens who in pain, got hooked from legal prescriptions. They can make them illegal in their jurisdictions if they want. I'm glad I refused them for my pain all my life because I knew their risk. Today I don't even drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes, but would prefer CBD to my current high dosage of 1000 mg daily of Naproxin Sodium, which thins my blood and causes bruising easily, could also cause much worse damage heart issues/brain bleeds than that baby aspirin a day. But I can't until I move to Colorado.

I think eventually good sense will prevail. Big pharma lobbies to keep marijuana illegal. While shootings and drug wars escalate across our country. The dealers aren't immigrants and criminals. Their gangs are named 

  • Purdue Pharma
  • Endo Health Solutions
  • Teva Pharmaceutical Industries and subsidiary Cephalon
  • Johnson & Johnson and subsidiary Janssen Pharmaceuticals
  • Allergan

Back to MJ stocks. https://www.bing.com/search?q=nbev+stock+price&pc=MOZI&form=MOZLBR

Trading was halted twice now once on each of my stocks. https://seekingalpha.com/news/3391816-new-age-beverages-plus-36-percent-coming-trading-halt

Why? Because the demand crashed their OTC computer systems. Both are NASDAQ bound very soon.

This is just the beginning. Coming to a dispensary near you soon?

I'm having a blast!

Ryno,

I just posted here instead of PMing. Hope you don't mind. I have a local friend who bought just NBEV Tuesday and sold that today, making about twice what I did spread between it and Aurora.

With legalization happening 17 October for all of Canada, things will be hectic for the next few months. Then when, not if, America follows suit, then all the tax revenues from non addicting marijuana sales both medical and recreational go to the treasury. As a result we all in the middle class pay more in taxes that could be sourced from taxing MJ products, saving the opioid costs of rehab from this point on, as well as reducing crime from druggies stealing to get money for pain killers, and drug territorial wars.

MJ did and does hold Tilray - Tilray is one of MJ's top three holdings.
I don't get excited about these things, unless they totally dump and all the money goes away.

None-the-less, I believe that the marijuana industry is a lot like Facebook in the early days - a lot of people don't believe that it's more than a passing thing - I think not.
