Pot Stocks Might Be Gearing Up for Another Special Move

The easiest thing in the world for most traders right now would be to assume that the "easy money" in the marijuana trade has already been made, and that buying pot stocks here is tantamount to buying Bitcoin last Christmas.

DNR Also Stands for Do Not Resuscitate Energy Bears

As we discussed with Members in the full Weekend Video, some weakness early this week headed into the FOMC on Wednesday ought to be expected.

Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas

Pot plays are still mostly solid this morning, as bears continue to miscalculate the imminence of a euphoric top in the space. To be sure, there will be sharp corrections along the way, as will always be the case in speculative industries like marijuana, particularly with the overlap in the biotech/healthcare sectors and various legal hurdles...

It's Not Even Officially Fall Yet...

...and so this fall in TLT may not be official, either, as rates spike and banks in the XLF KRE ETFs catch a strong bid this morning.
