STZ down 20% already on their CGC "investment". Goddamn send management packing, thats one of the worst allocations of capital I've ever seen. Reeks of desperation and literal retardation.

My friend works in the beverage industry, there's a huge fear out there from the beer & spirits guys that weed will take share away, especially from newly coming of age kids (Gen Z?).

The craft beer market has been super saturated and stagnant for a bit now. New drinkers are not drinking beer. Weed is a cheaper high/buzz/whatever than beer or spirits. If you think there's an upcoming economic downturn, people aren't gonna be buying the $12 6-pack of craft.

Lagunitas has actually already started selling THC infused water.

THC or cbd? CBD beverages are becoming massively popular here in LA. I paid $7.50 for a CBD latte last weekend, it was delicious

They're paying billions of dollars for a *piece* of a company that essentially does nothing. Growing weed isn't some proprietary science, and CGC hardly has any revenue let alone some kind of market advantage. It's a panic move for the reason hostile apostle pointed out. And these kinds of moves almost always result in capital destruction.

It's not an accident constellation is crashing and CGC is trading 20% below the price paid by constellation. It's a loving ludicrous move.

All the money flowed from the rest of the market into weed today lol.

A +25% daily move for Canopy is def an overreaction though.

I'ma buy a put expecting that to snap back a bit closer to reality tomorrow.

Certain forms are cheap but the majority of legal weed costs a pretty penny. Prerolled joint for about the same price as a six pack of micro brew.

I'd say either hobby costs about the same amount unless you're just using oil (cheap) or only drink at restaurants (expensive)

They have two, one with 10mg THC and one with 5mg THC & 5mg CBD. Yea I started seeing CBD poo poo everywhere now.

Was in Oregon two weekends ago and CBD stuff was everywhere - from drinks, to various supplements and oils.

In SF, the bodegas are just starting to carry the drinks.

I don't think the beverage companies are concerned about the joints. I don't think smoking will take off. It's other packaged forms like drinks or edibles that make it much more approachable to newbs.

This isn't true anymore now in WA by the way. Cost of weed has been and continues to drop and you don't have to buy bottom shelf quality to save on price.

lol I can even preorder online, that 1g preroll for $5 is their mid-top shelf brand


The other forms of consumption have not dropped AS much in price as flower has but they are still dropping, 10mg drinks are ~$5

Wow even better deal for the 6 pack of three grammers. I can get a 4 pack of hop heavy microbrew for $10, eighteen grams of dope in six j's for $25 seems like a better deal. - me, a millenial.

Pre-rolls will of course carry a premium for the convenience of packaging, but a single J will also get several non-pothead people adequately buzzed.

Here in Washington, eighths of mid-shelf bud are like $20-25 and ounces like $150. You can get ounces of shake for well under $100. Low grade grams are under $5. Prices just keep coming down as economies of scale and competition ramp up. Vapes, edibles, and other non-smoke alternatives are getting cheaper and more popular, too.

Turns out weed is real fuckin' cheap, even after high sin taxes, when you don't have blackmarket risk priced in. Also most people are going to be plenty satisfied with cheaper, lower grade/concentration stuff. Just look at the popularity of cheap beers. Most people don't buy the fancy top shelf stuff.

This is not an investing thread, this is a trading thread.

Investing and trading are not the same thing.

The goal of investing is to maximize your return on your capital.

The goal of trading is to gamble.

Both have the goal of maximizing return on capital, the difference is how much risk you are willing to take to achieve your return. Risk is the element that is constantly thrown out the window in this thread and is in my opinion one of the most important thing to any investing or trading strategy.

Index fund investing is the preferred way of providing the highest return for the lowest amount of associated risk. Index funds reduce idiosyncratic risks of individual stocks and exposes you to only the systematic risk. However the flip side of this is that your idiosyncratic returns are also muted. If I put all my money into AAPL and AMZN twenty years ago I would have greatly exceeded the return of practically any index. However, the associated risk I took in that investment would also exceed the index by a greater factor.

Trading individual stocks, options or other riskier assets is still investing, it is just that you have chosen to take a higher level of risk for the chance of a higher, and most likely shorter term return. That fact that index investing is usually the best option for most investment goals does not mean it is the only strategy. Discussing risk management strategies, portfolio theory, valuation methods, the pitfalls of market timing, hedging or other topics are just as viable here as their are in the long term investment thread. When one says their investment cash in this thread is "funny money", it means that they are more comfortable taking risks with it versus their other savings or capital. It is still money.

In summary, dismissing legitimate critiques of an investment thesis because "YOLO GAMBLING THREAD!!" is more of an indication on why some people shouldn't be "gambling" on stocks.

Dwight Eisenhower being all "you guys are dumb dumbs if you do anything but low-cost index investing" was never a "legitimate critique of an investment thesis" to begin with.

I never said risk management strategies, portfolio theory, valuation methods, the pitfalls of market timing, hedging or other topics should not be discussed here.

I DID say that people who want to do low-cost index investing should head over to the long-term investment thread, and I stand by that.
