Counterpoint: we could be looking at the beginning of the end of capitalism. Liquidate your 401k and join a local socialist group before people start getting lined up against walls. If you still have a 401k when this process starts you're dead for sure.

I used to have an RX7 that I would take to mazda club days. It was always like 3/4 miatas, and they were all driving by bored retired dudes over 60 who wanted a cheap race car to play with. They're fun as gently caress to race around and wrench on. :gay:

Looks like the market turned over a little after 10am. I said I would exit my positions if we didn’t get an up day, but even with these down days there will be a pop. The question is whether we’ll be down so much by the pop that it defeats the idea of waiting for it.

How is legalization news when it is already considered into the price? I do think no barrier to entry is the worst aspect of investing in a weed stock but further legalization in the US could rally them.

I was really surprised the market didn't do this in September because that is when the tariffs were applied and interest rates rose.

Also it seems the word around wall street is to exit all these tech/growth stocks and go more into value stocks because there will be no further growth except maybe this quarter but after that the corporate tax cut loses it's initial effect.

Margins in recreational states are super slim due to overproduction. I dont think a lot of investors are considering this. You're right, there is no barrier, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. Good because it means that large guys cant use supply chain efficiencies yet, but it also means there are no safe bets.

There is zero barrier to growing weed. The money to be made in weed is all about branding. It's just like booze- if you can convince the buyers that your budz are the dankest, you can charge a lot and build a brand. Why anyone thinks any of these companies currently trading have established anything at all is beyond me.

That has not been the Colorado experience at all. Weed varies wildly from strain to strain and even plant to plant day to day within the same strain, even the super master growers who have been doing it for decades around here have very little control over THC swings of +/- 50% and vastly different customer experiences day to day. The recreational users have little to no brand or grower loyalty, usually jumping around between different shops based on word of mouth of just some bad product. Very little branding or brand loyalty happening even though every shop pushes loyalty programs and bonuses harder than the airlines.

I think the experience gets a bit more predictable and consistent with concentrates, and the barrier to entry for doing that and not blowing yourself up in the process is a bit higher.

I've bought a lot of legal stuff in WA and in my experience as long as you get mid-grade stuff or better the quality is all so high that it really doesn't matter much to anyone but the most discerning consumer. Extracts have some variation in quality so it's worth spending a little more. Then edibles are pretty tightly regulated to have <10mg per "serving" so it's all kind of same same.

If you're a High Times reading pot aficionado that only smokes the finest of bud, the shops have all that top shelf stuff too but it'll cost you. But otherwise every day shops are unloading something decent for $20-30/eighth, and regardless of brand it's all as good or better than whatever black market stuff your average stoner was buying before, with some legitimacy in knowing where it came from and how it was grown/processed/handled.

Legal pot has already been hilariously commodified, and the only reason it hasn't gotten monopolized by big corps yet is the patchwork of state laws preventing big growers/processors and of course the federal legality issue.
