Having dinner with the CEO of Cobalt 27 tonight. That means absolutely nothing other than LOOK AT ME!

I'm holding all the marijuana-related positions I have. I think these companies have a great long-term prognosis given the lessening restrictions nationwide. When (not if) the federal government decides to remove it's schedule 1 categorization, I think the doors are wide open. Long term hold, IMO.

Is he buying? Don't forget, we've seen you eat. If only Robinhood would let me short this MFer.....General Malaise said:

I can really only eat in short bursts. Like, I can slam an entire McD cheeseburger or a slice of pizza into my maw in one bite, but I fill up with ease. I am not a volume eater, just speed.
Boss will pick up the tab I'm sure. Already picked out my meal online.

Make sure you order the most expensive bottle of wine on the list. Take the lead in doing so. You have to act like you've been there before. When it arrives and the sommelier offers you the cap to sniff, just yank the bottle out of his hand and take a long, lusty chug directly from the bottle. Slam it down on the table, then turn to him/her and nod. Then point at the CEO with your steak knife and with a menacing scowl, belch loudly and say.. "Duuuude, you gotta try this s---t."

Been watching the shipping stocks for a while. DRYS and its repeated reverse splits seems to have stabilized.
The shipping industry completely collapsed in 2015 and 2016, sending benchmark shipping rates down 98 percent and the share prices of shipping stocks down even more. But the companies that have survived the downturn have been adding assets on the cheap and preparing for what could be a cyclical rebound. If dry bulk shipping stocks ultimately recover the same way oil tanker stocks did in the late 1990s following a similar downturn, there could be some huge returns ahead in the next five to seven years.

If loser AG, Sessions opens his piehole, it would be a good time to buy, if these sell off on his BS. However it would be all talk no action as he ain't gonna do anything to stop this cash cow. States are raking in the tax $.
Long term I really like the index, MJX, since it won't crater on bad news from one of the stocks in it.

So, MJX, until last month, was a Latin America Real Estate ETF? :

This is what Canadians do (I'm assuming this was company based in Canada, but I don't know that for sure).

Just heavily rebalanced my 401k for 2018... I get the sense that by the middle of next year, the bull will be on it's last legs and I want to capture the final melt-up.
I heavily shifted internationally for this year as I think emerging markets will have a big 2018. I'm 30% emerging markets, 10% developed international, 30% bonds, and the remaining 30% spread around US index funds (growth, value, REIT, small cap, total stock market).

Solid earnings growth... EM growth (4.5%) is far pacing to outgrow DM growth (2.25%) (as it should) which is going to bring in further investments, IMO. Think that accelerates into the final legs of the global growth story.
EM Growth was good this year, I expect it to continue heavily next year.
Also, VEMAX is what I'm in for our plan, looking at the 5 year chart, I see a breakout happening. 7% of this ETF is Tencent & BABA, which I really love that exposure in my 401k for 2018.

Congrats NFLX holders, amazing month, although I expect some rotation out and into banks/commodities.

In on the cannabis play. EMHTF and TWMJF (almost exclusively due to Constellation's decent investment in the company).
I read that myself on 2 Marketwatch articles. The emerging market comment was at the bottom of one article. It wasn't all about Emerging Markets. The other was an Avi Gilburt article.

As I have noted many times before, the drop I expect will likely be considered the end of the bull market by many. But our analysis suggests it will likely be another buying opportunity for the next phase of the rally which, will likely be targeting the 2,800-3,000 region next.

Yes. Not quite a pure play since it has regular tobacco stocks, too. Old ticker was LARE.

Guess I'm buying some BAT next week, assuming I'm not too idiotic to figure out the 8,000 transfers necessary to make it happen.
So, call it 50/50.
This whole thing just shukes me to no end.

Crypto? If so, buy some Ether on Coinbase and transfer that Ether to Binance. That is the road I took, not to bad or difficult.

He's also a criminal. Its funny how the leading law enforcement official in the country deserves to be in one of those prisons he likes so much.

It's sad I don't know the answer to this but I'm thinking of opening a Vanguard account and wanted to confirm if you have an account through them can you buy non Vanguard funds? What about individual stocks? I've been with local companies paying the 1% fee which I know is a waste but trying to get comfortable making the jump to all online.

I've had Vanguard for ~20 years and all you have to do is open a Brokerage account and you have the whole thing open to you. Fees are very small and any money you put into an IRA, you don't pay to buy Vanguard funds. Stocks, I pay $7 a trade, but that is limited to 25 a year... I don't do more than that anyway.

Thanks for this info, are ETF and Mutual Funds also $7 per trade even for Vanguard funds? Looking to setup a Simple IRA through them and want to dip my toe into a brokerage account too.
Also wanted to get thoughts on ETF vs Mutual Funds? As ETF seem to be lower cost what’s the benefit of Mutual Funds?

I do most of my stuff with them on my iPhone and when you go to buy something, there are five categories: They are...
1 Buy Vanguard Funds
2 Sell Vanguard Funds
3 Exchange Vanguard Funds
4 Buy ETFs and Stocks
5 Sell ETFs and stocks
1 Buy Vanguard Funds
2 Sell Vanguard Funds
3 Exchange Vanguard Funds
4 Buy ETFs and Stocks

You can trade Vanguard ETFs for free. For an IRA, they charge $25/year for each Vanguard mutual fund in each account. Fee is waived if you have over $50K with them. Annual Fees .
There are hundreds of Non-Vanguard funds, many without tranX fees if you keep for at least 60 days ($50 if you trade out before that)..
Mario covered stock fees. The 25-trade cap of $7 commissions is waived if you have over $50K with them.
The only downside to ETFs over mutual funds in my mind is temporary liquidity issues. 99.9% of the time you'll be fine. If you want to get in or out during volatile events you could pay more (or receive less) than the NAV (net asset value). Hopefully someone will add to the negatives as there are probably more.
Please confirm all fees before funding your account to make sure we haven't provided incorrect information. I think you will be fine with Vanguard unless you are going to trade a lot of stocks and/or non-Vanguard ETFs. GL
