The cannabis industry is going through some interesting times. It’s something we touched on in our recent piece on The Paradox of Marijuana Stocks. Sales are supposed to be going through the roof, yet not all companies will be around to take advantage of the “boom” as capital dries up. The end result is a […]
The world of finance is full of big egos that exhibit a herd mentality. As long as you’re on the cover of magazines and coming up with innovative ideas the industry can use to sell more stuff, everyone wants to be your friend. Make one mistake though, and you’ll find your name has been erased from every […]
For many cannabis investors, it’s their first time putting money into the stock market. They probably have no idea how badly human emotions can affect investors. It’s a topic covered perfectly in the book Reminiscences of a Stock Operator which highlights how fear – whether that’s a fear of missing out or a fear of losing […]
Last month we talked about how the flood of CBD oil into the market – they’re even being peddled at petrol stations – has created concerns about fake products. It’s not just about getting swindled with snake oil. In 2017, for example, more than 50 people got sick after ingesting synthetic CBD that was being […]
In our last few articles we looked at several large CannaBiDioL (CBD) companies – Elixinol and Charlotte’s Web – which present investors with a couple of pure plays on the CBD theme and have the financials to prove it. (Both of these companies produce real CBD oil extract taken from the cannabis plant.) While writing these […]
This year we’ve taken a small break from looking at marijuana stocks and trained our focus on the recent legalization of hemp in the United States and the popularity of cannabidiol or CBD products for applications like reducing anxiety or facilitating sleep.

Here’s some food for thought: One of the longest running wars in U.S. history appears to be nearly over. More than 200,000 people have been killed on foreign soil, while more than eight million have been jailed. Some reports say we spend upwards of $47 billion per year in this never-ending conflict. We’re talking, of […]
It’s been a smidgen over three years ago since we penned our first article on investing in marijuana stocks, primarily meant to warn investors about cannabis stock scams and point them in the right direction when it comes to investing in marijuana stocks. In short, don’t bet the proverbial farm on an investment theme that […]
Just last month, while both sides of America continued to spew vitriol at each other about every topic under the sun they could find to disagree about, something interesting happened that didn’t quite make the covers of most newspapers. The Hemp Farming Act of 2018 became law on December 20, 2018 and removed hemp (defined as cannabis with […]
One of the common complaints about 420 events—aside from the haze that settles over the crowd like a rolling San Francisco fog—is that the celebrations have turned into an excuse to smoke excessive amounts of weed in public. Some of you may be wondering: Isn’t that exactly the point of 420? Sure, we’re as happy […]
