I’m holding 68% of my portefolio in Hacksaw AB at the moment. My average is @58,79. They specialize in online slots, working as a supplier of games to casinos. They are partnering up with new casinos each Month. They develop software in house, and once a machine is brought to life it creates revenue. It’s a one time cost. They also acquired openRPG a few months back. So now they also develop slots for other igaming companies, creating a new revenue stream. they mainly earn money each time their machines are utillized on a online casino. They did an ipo less than a year ago. 10% buyback coming up, 82% ebitda, dividend was 0,4 euro pr. Stock 2 weeks ago, pe is 14.37 whereas the Industry average is around 17-ish. They are expected to grow their revenue by 30% this year, their main market Europe is getting a bit more regulated and the market fell 5,4% overall yoy. The American market on the other hand is still opening up and is growing 37% yoy atm. Just to give an example What was put into accounts last week: Stake= 402m$ Roobet= 95,9m$ Rainbet= 62,3m$ Exact Same week, last year.: Stake= 320,9m$ Roobet= 88,5m$ Rainbet= 0,5m$ I have tried their machines several times myself, and overall they are very entertaining, with huge jackpots. I ended up losing 2 grand on their slots. Then I thought to myself; if you can’t beat Them, join Them. Whatever metric you’re finding, It’s pointing towards Hacksaw being marketleaders in the slots Industry. They beat guidance for q1, and their biggest franchise is the “le”-machines. They have 2 new “le” games coming out in q2. There is “le football fan” coming out in a month coinciting with the World Cup. They are without a ceo at for 3 weeks now, which I hope won’t continue for too Long. If they find someone soon it can be a positive catalysator. The Stock has momentum atm and is ath - so it might seem like an exepensive buy at the moment, but I Think it Will continue to soar. I’m dca’ing each month with all I have. I know the product, I have faith in the Company, they have low costs and great margins, i like the business model. Their biggest threat is regulation, but other than that I Can’t see Them loose momentum. This is not a financial advise!

This is 60% of my portfolio while the rest is in indexes: Amazon 23% ASML 22% Uber 12% Google 12% Amd 8% Nintendo 6% Centene 5% Novo 4% AXP 4% Evolution AB 2% Dlocal 2% I've held most of these and added in the past 1.5yrs. Overall portfolio(incl indexes) has gained 25% but I feel like I could be a lot more optimal, a lot of my gains are significantly tilted to tech with ASML, AMD, GOOG being the biggest winners but everything in the lower half of my portfolio is either slightly in the red or down significantly like Nintendo. I do believe Nintendo will flip at some point and honestly I really like the look of Sony as well but not convinced that if ASML for example crashes the others will be there to keep my portfolio afloat.

They haven't been involved in labor disputes in almost 100 years and haven't killed anyone in a labor dispute since the 1800s. In the incident you're thinking of in 2020, the guy worked for a different security group and was protecting journalists at a right wing rally. A conservative protestor assaulted the guard and sprayed him with bear spray and the guard shot him. Whatever one thinks of the use of deadly force in this case, I think most people would agree that a person employed by a third party security company that was subcontracted by the Pinkertons who ends up shooting a conservative at a conservative rally in order to protect journalists and progressive counter-protestors doesn't exactly fit the narrative of the Pinkertons as an anti-labor police force. So like I said it's an outdated reference. As a reference *about that historical time* it is accurate to say they used to be an anti-labor paramilitary force. But now they're basically a brand name owned by the Swedish company Securitas AB.

There certainly are more links to them than to a lot of others. If you look at synergies, think of it from the perspective of Altria. * Altria is mostly focused on smokeable products, while having a smaller investment in beverages with AB. * GTI is mostly focused on smokeable products, while having a smaller investment in beverages with RYM. In theory, Altria/GTI pushing smokeables while AB's distribution network carries their beverages would make sense. I could definitely make the case for a few other companies too, but GTI/Altria doesn't seem too crazy.

GeoLogic23

Target is expanding several brands, including the brand **Trail Magic.** This is an investment by Dumont Global, which is the cannabis investing arm of the partners from **3G Capital**. * 3G Capital is the private equity firm behind AB InBev. * Altria is 3G's longtime co-investor in AB InBev * Target started lobbying for hemp in **2026Q1** with their in-house lobbyist. Target also registered the firm Akin Gump in late 2024, but never logged any actual activity with them. Finally in 2026Q1 they reported lobbying (tariffs on textiles). The lobbyists they are using are named Deatherage and **Olswanger**. * AB InBev has used Akin Gump for years. They just started using Olswanger in 2025Q3. This is the same and only quarter AB InBev ever used Deatherage. * Altria has also used Akin Gump for years. They just re-added Olswanger to the team in 2026Q1. * Altria used to use Olswanger between **2023Q3 - 2024Q3** * GTI used to use Olswanger between **2023Q3-2024Q4**. Some quarters the [only lobbyist Green Thumb used was Olswanger.](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/0c91b36a-8c04-4542-9785-95a6aab55eac/print/) GTI registered with Olswanger on 6/13/2023. Altria then added Olswanger to the team starting 7/1/2023. GTI now uses the lobbying firm Forbes-Tate. Besides Jeff Forbes being a decades long Altria lobbyist, [one of the lobbyist GTI is using (Rick Murphy) has lobbied for Altria since 1999](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/185a7622-0ad4-4ec7-9459-98af893245ae/print/). Even having [Altria named in his biography](https://forbes-tate.com/member/rick-murphy/). Olswanger, who has only recently started being used by AB InBev, also has a specific connection to AB InBev from his very first lobbying disclosure. Olswanger was on one registration way back in 2014, and not on another until 2016. The company that he first started lobbying for was Burger King. Besides AB InBev, Burger King is one of the most prominent long term investments by 3G Capital. [On Olswanger's very first lobbying registration ever, the associated organization listed was 3G Capital](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/dc325695-804f-467b-90c9-1be4f1bf96f6/print/).

Btw sorry, I'm not really trying to convince you or anything. It's totally reasonable to not think the THC beverage market is a thing. I believe there's lots of evidence to the contrary over the last few years though. Just a good place to get some thoughts out. Your first point of how to differentiate. That's all about distribution. **Everything about the beverage market is about distribution**. My first link says how at that point they were estimating only 30 or so brands had real distribution. Take a super popular beverage brand like Celsius. It was around for a long time before getting plugged into Pepsi's network and becoming one of the top energy drinks. And I think it tastes just ok. Then about the person drinking a THC drink vs hitting a 90% vape. You're still thinking they are the same consumer. They are not. The whole point of beverages taking off **specifically when they began to be sold in regular retail** is that the people buying low dose beverages are not the same people who even use high dose products at all. These are people who really do not even set foot inside of dispensaries. Listen to every single hemp beverage company and they will say this same thing. One of the fastest growing categories is "wine moms" who are replacing one glass of wine with a THC beverage. I have personally brought THC beverages to multiple events where normally there would maybe be a small amount of alcohol consumption, but not much. Multiple people who wouldn't have drank alcohol chose to drink THC drinks, without me prompting them to try them. These people would not be ripping a vape at this social gathering, but they would casually drink a THC drink. Also the 90% vape argument is the exact same you could make for beer. Why drink a beer when I could rip a shot? Why drink a light seltzer when I could have a flask of Everclear? Then this point: >Maybe way in the future we get them sold at bars or sporting events This is already happening. Several of the links I gave you were bars. There are also going to be lots of partnerships like RYM made with the United Center. Even smaller partnerships can be massive depending on the size of the company. There are so many deals to go around. A major arena management company called [Oak View Group has been preparing to launch hemp beverages at their venues for a couple years now](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/10/19/2763417/0/en/St-Peter-s-Drinks-and-Oak-View-Group-Partner-to-Introduce-Green-Monk%C3%A9-Hemp-Derived-Drinks-at-Live-Entertainment-Venues-Throughout-U-S-and-UK.html). They have partnerships with Green Monke and Cookies. The United Center (RYM partnership) was a founding member of Oak View Group's Arena Alliance. Oak View is also partnered with Live Nation for hosting Arena events. This isn't some small mom and pop company. They are already [launching THC beverages in their theater venues](https://urbanmilwaukee.com/pressrelease/green-monke-becomes-exclusive-hemp-infused-beverage-of-pabst-theater-group-a-milwaukee-entertainment-institution/) such as with Pabst Theater Group. Note that the brewing company Pabst has also long been eyeing the drinks market. They have had "[Pabst Labs](https://www.pabstlabs.com/)" for years. Lastly, regarding trying to guess who is going to be Budweiser. I don't think I need to guess who is going to be Budweiser. I care who will increase their market cap by a reasonable percentage from where it is now. Whether that is Jones Soda turning into a $200M company, RYM turning into a $2B company, Tilray turning into a $5B company, or AB InBev turning into a $500B company. It just matters that you pick someone who will grow from where they currently are. As mentioned above, Green Monke is now the official THC drink at [Pabst Theater Group](https://www.pabsttheatergroup.com/connect/our-partners). This is alongside Molson Coors, Jack Daniels, Casamigos, and Sun Cruiser. No Budweiser in sight. There are plenty of these smaller partnerships to go around for many brands to find success. Thinking you need to pick the Budweiser in order to win is the same fallacy as only caring about which cannabis company has the most revenue. The biggest company isn't always the best investment.

I am not and have never said Tilray will "take the beverage market by storm" lol wtf I have repeatedly just been saying their strategy is to expand into hemp beverages, and that their alcohol moves make sense in that context. This is in contrast to people saying they are a separate cannabis and alcohol company, and that expanding hemp beverages aren't their number one goal right now. Please stop conflating me saying that their strategy makes sense if they are moving into hemp beverages as me saying they are going to lead the hemp beverage market or take it by storm or whatever. I have always said that the major alcohol players like AB are going to be getting into the market. Tilray will hopefully be able to ride that market wave, just like he did at Hain early on with health food. That's why he's taking crappy beer brands off of AB so they are allowed in the three tier distribution club. Look at AB's earnings today. But i have always said that even with the moves making sense in theory, there's no guarenteeing Tilray is a winner at all. I've been so so clear for a very long time that i think all the major alcohol companies are ready to jump into hemp beverages, not just Tilray. So idk how that translates to me saying Tilray will take the beverage market by storm.

# FTC — First Trust Large Cap Growth AlphaDEX Fund * **What it does**: This is an **ETF** (exchange-traded fund), not an operating company. It tracks an index of large-cap growth stocks selected via a proprietary "AlphaDEX" methodology for potential outperformance (positive alpha/risk-adjusted returns) relative to traditional benchmarks. It invests in NASDAQ-listed large-cap growth names. * **What's moving it**: Broad market sentiment, especially large-cap growth/tech performance (e.g., influenced by rates, AI/tech earnings, rotation). Recent performance has been solid YTD but tracks general equity markets with lower volatility than individual small-caps. Small daily moves typical for an ETF. # SIVE — Sivers Semiconductors AB (publ) (NASDAQ Stockholm: SIVE; OTC: SIVEF) * **What it does**: Semiconductor company developing and selling chips, components, modules, and subsystems. It operates in **Wireless** (e.g., 5G mmWave RFICs, beamformers for networks, radar, SATCOM) and **Photonics** (III-V compound semiconductor lasers for optical communication, AI data centers, sensing/LiDAR). Key focus on high-performance, energy-efficient solutions for AI optics, telecom, and defense. * **What's moving it**: Strong momentum tied to **AI data center optics** and photonics boom. Recent catalysts include partnerships (e.g., Jabil for LRO modules), commercialization progress, NASDAQ listing plans via share raise, and hype around its role in AI infrastructure (lasers for high-speed optical links). The stock has seen massive volatility and gains (e.g., sharp multi-day surges) on volume, with AI/supply chain narratives driving retail/institutional interest. # QE — IQE plc (London: IQE) * **What it does**: Global supplier of advanced **compound semiconductor wafer** products and materials. Segments include Wireless (RF for comms/handsets), Photonics (lasers/sensors for light transmission/detection), and CMOS++ (hybrid silicon-compound tech). Used in wireless, AI/data centers, defense, sensing, and more. * **What's moving it**: Recent **capital raise** (strategic partner investment, placing, retail offer) for growth/strategic review. Demand drivers include defense, AI, data centers, and handsets. Positive updates on earnings potential and sector tailwinds (compound semis for next-gen tech), though dilution from raises can pressure price short-term. Volatile small-cap with big swings on funding/news. # KOPN — Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN) * **What it does**: Develops and sells **microdisplays**, optics, subassemblies, and related components (AMLCD, LCOS, OLED, emerging MicroLED). Applications in defense (e.g., helmet-mounted displays, weapon sights, drone goggles), enterprise/industrial headsets, medical, training/simulation, and consumer AR/VR wearables. Expanding into AI infrastructure with optical interconnects. * **What's moving it**: High volatility on **AI + defense catalysts**. Recent drivers include a $15M development order/collaboration with [Fabric.AI](http://Fabric.AI) for MicroLED-based optical interconnects (addressing AI data center power/bandwidth bottlenecks), $3.2M+ contract for FPV drone goggles (new market entry), analyst upgrades/reinstatements (Buy ratings, higher targets), and broader defense orders. Strong volume and price runs (new highs) on these news flows; classic small-cap story stock.

I pulled the cannabis investments from Chicago Atlantic SEC filings to see what companies may be next on Vireo Growth's radar. These are investments classified as "cannabis" as of late 2025 and whatever notes I have on them. Cresco, Verano, Archos Capital (Verano), Terrascend, and Fluent (now Vireo) are the MSOs. * **TheraTrue** \- Georgia medical. New CEO as of June 2025 came from Deep Roots Harvest right after Vireo acquired them. The CEO he replaced was Victor Mancebo, who is a board member of Vireo Growth. * **Kaleafa** \- Oregon. Was the partner for Eaze to enter Oregon years ago. Vireo recently bought Eaze assets. * **BeLeaf Medical** \- Missouri. Their co-founder was part of the three person team that launched Bud Light for AB InBev in the 80's. Also associated with Nature's Care dispensary in Illinois, which is/was with Acreage. * **Oasis (AZ GOAT AZ)** \- AYR assets that were first bought by AYR then sold back to the original owners. * **HA-MD LLC** \- Maryland. Ethos brand. Vireo partnered with them in 2023. * **Dreamfields Brands** \- This is the Jeeter cannabis brand. Big pre-roll brand. Just moved into New York in late 2025. * **Aeriz Holdings** \- Chicago based. Has ops in AZ and CA too I think. They do aeroponic growing. * **Kapple Holdings (Cannabis & Glass)** \- Washington. Owner is also co-founder of Iowa Cannabis Company. * **Shangri-La** \- Missouri based. Operations in Illinois, Ohio, and Connecticut. * **Silver Therapeutics** \- Massachusetts. Operations in Maine, Vermont, and New York. * **Subsero Holdings** \- Illinois. * **Elevation Cannabis** \- Oregon, California, New Mexico. * **Wellgreens 2.0** \- California. Chicago Atlantic's cannabis investments are a partnership with Silver Spike Capital. The executive chairman of this partnership was the founder of Silver Spike and was a **board member of WeedMaps until he stepped down when they announced delisting**. Silver Spike is the company that took WeedMaps public, with WeedMaps now actively looking to move into cannabis. I have been thinking WeedMaps was making a move into Florida because of their lobbying, but Fluent/Vireo might have already been part of the Florida move? Chicago Atlantic also added **Robert Beasley** as a partner after they acquired Fluent, where Beasley was CEO. He was a OG executive at Liberty Health, where Vireo board member Victor Mancebo (see above) was CEO. Robert Beasley recently took over as CEO of a **Michigan cannabis company Common Citizen**. He only operated in Florida cannabis in the past. If you look at his LinkedIn it goes: * Fluent (Jan '20 - Aug '25) * Chicago Atlantic (Aug '25 - Dec '25) - head of restructuring * Common Citizen (Dec '25 - Jan '26) - joins as CEO amid their restructuring * Chicago Atlantic (Feb '26 - present) - partner Common Citizen was also an investment by the Aphria insiders (SOL Global) in 2021. These guys were investors or strongly connected to other Vireo connected companies such as Fluent, Liberty Health, Verano, Cresco, and The Flowery. The SOL guys go way back to Liberty Health in 2017 with Robert Beasley.

Us just trying to stay alive in this market 

RPO777

Well, that's why I'm saying I think we're gonna be in a ground war in Iran within the next 2 weeks. The 82nd AB's "quick" brigade is deploying to the middle east, and the 11th MEU is arriving probably by Thursday or Friday this week, joining the 31st MEU that arrived several days ago. That would give the US around 8,000 combat troops, about the minimum force size that was suggsted the US needed to secure the ground around Hormuz and reopen the strait militarily. Of course, this would involve the US setting up ground combat positions on Iranian soil--and inevitable Iranian counterattacks. Like I said, I think that's what the Iranian regime wants. An air war won't inflict enough pain on the US to force a capitulation by the US on Iranian demands. But if Iran can pull the US into a ground war, even a limited ground war, Iran can use its massive army (capable of sustaining many thousands of casualties) to pit against the US. Even if the US can kill 10\~20 Iranians for every soldiers they lose, particularly if US troops are occupying Iranian soil, Iran wil likely have an easier time politically sustaining its will to fight than the US. 5,000 Iranians dying fighting but inflicting 250 combat deaths on US troops would have a MUCH more disproportionate political impact to the US.

RPO777

This is why they are blockading the Strait of Hormuz. The strait narrow enough that the large oil tankers (like the Suezmax or larger tankers) have a very limited lane of sea through which they can pass safely, at places only like 10-15 miles wide near the center of the strait--the edges of the strait aren't deep enough to be safely navigable. This puts the tankers within 30-40 miles of Iranian soil--which puts them within rocket artillery, drones, and numerous other short-range weaponry of Iran. It would be very difficult for the USN to reopen the strait without securing the ground north of the strait, about a 150-200 mile stretch of coast south east from Bandar Abbas. In prior US war games, the US military had commented they estimate they need around 6,000-8,000 soldiers to secure the Strait. The 31st, 11th MEUs and the 82nd AB rapid response BCT are just around 8,000 combat troops. I don't think that's an accident. However, a limited landing by the US to try to secure the strait opens up a huge number of Iranian military resources that it can direct at US soldiers--drones, short range missiles, rocket artillery, and of course, guerrilla infantry attacks. Even if the US is able to re-open the strait (which I don't doubt the US military oculd do if it commits ground troops), it would open up a NEW phase of headaches, namely the US trying to defend ground positions in Iran directly in the line of fire from the Iranian army. THere's no doubt the US can inflict disproportionately high casualties on Iran. But in Vietnam, the US inflicted about 20-30 casualties on Vietnam than it receieved, and it didn't really matter. The same may hold true of Iran.

Southern Glazers and Breakthru Beverage are big beverage distributors that have been involved in Canadian cannabis for years. Breakthru just announced last week that they will be carrying hemp-derived THC beverages. Southern Glazers had US distribution deals in 2022 with several high profile companies. This was for CBD. Companies that were going to use Southern Glazers included Canopy Growth, Curaleaf, Charlotte's Web, [and Tilray](https://ir.tilray.com/news-releases/news-release-details/tilray-wellness-announces-us-distribution-agreement-southern/). Southern Glazers subsidiary (Great North) has long been the exclusive distributor in Canada for Aphria and subsequently the [exclusive Canadian distributor for Tilray](https://ir.tilray.com/news-releases/news-release-details/tilray-renews-distribution-agreement-great-north-distributors/). Southern Glazers registered with Polaris Government Affairs on 11/1/2025. This looks like Southern's first federal lobbying registration ever. Two organizations that also lobby with Polaris are **Altria and The National Beer Wholesalers Association.** Altria has owned a chunk of AB InBev for years. After registering with Polaris, Southern Glazers has subsequently acquired two different AB InBev wholesalers. * Southern announced last week they were acquiring a New York AB InBev distributor called Clare Rose, whose [other most prominent partner is Tilray](https://www.reddit.com/r/weedstocks/comments/1rxw797/comment/obc2a4l/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button). * Southern announced yesterday they were acquiring the Colorado assets of an AB InBev distributor called Eagle Rock, whose [other most prominent partner is Tilray](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260323000367/en/Southern-Glazers-Wine-Spirits-to-Acquire-Eagle-Rock-Distributing-Co).

While there is a lot of garbage in private credit, some of the things posted are just flat out wrong. I’m happy to be proven wrong, but it is just totally false that defaults are at record highs. Public markets default rates are in line with long-term averages at roughly 3.5%. Private credit defaults, based on data that’s available are slightly higher than 5%, and that’s if you include non-accruals/PIK interest. Also, the CLO market is $1.2tn. Only 10% of this market consists of Private Credit CLOs, the rest are all public issuers. And the majority of Insurance company private credit is all IG. It has to be otherwise they would get destroyed in capital charges. Private credit doesn’t mean it’s all shit. Meta, Google, Apple, AB InBev etc. all issue in the private market.

[America First Agriculture](https://www.americafa.org/) is a recently formed coalition trying to unify the hemp/cannabis regulations. They even have Trump praise videos on their front page. America First Agriculture just registered to lobby with Checkmate. BAMCO is a recently formed coalition lobbying for only hemp beverages. They have also registered with Checkmate. [Checkmate is a lobbying firm with ties to Trump and RFK](https://www.reddit.com/r/weedstocks/comments/1r1ubcu/comment/o4vwrji/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button). Some excerpts from America First Agriculture's mission statement (bold is me): * Position cannabis as a cornerstone of the new American economy - driving innovation in industrial materials, **clean energy, and carbon capture**.... * Our mission is to facilitate safe consumer access, equitable market conditions, and the development of robust financial instruments - **including carbon credits** \- under a single standard agricultural commodity framework. * By modernizing policy, AFA envisions Cannabis as a sustainable feedstock that can **compliment petroleum in industrial applications, from bioplastics to renewable energy** America First Agriculture's chairman is [AJ Fabrizio](https://www.americafa.org/leadership). He is the son of major Trump pollster and close associate [Tony Fabrizio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Fabrizio). They are based out of Florida. * AJ Fabrizio's specialty in the cannabis industry is extraction of cannabinoids AJ Fabrizio has been involved with the Florida cannabis/hemp industry since its inception. He was most associated with the original licensing of Parallel Brands aka Surterra Wellness. Later on in 2019 he was part of Florida Ag Commissioner Nikki Fried's hemp advisory board * Nikki Fried was previously married to the founder of Surterra Wellness. Surterra's founder names lots of his companies "Iconoclast". One of the most recent versions of these companies is Iconoclast LLC. As recently as 2024 this company was lobbying for one single topic. * Biomass/hemp for energy Several prominent cannabis insiders (**and Jeffrey Epstein**) were involved with a Florida cannabis company called Stem Holdings. The largest shareholders of Stem Holdings started the company after [trying and failing to start a Florida biofuel project called Ag-Oil](https://advancedbiofuelsusa.info/ag-oil-plans-oilseed-biodiesel-production-with-univ-of-florida-agronne-national-lab-univ-of-southern-illinois). * John Boehner's National Cannabis Roundtable used very few lobbyists. One came right from being deputy chief of staff to Florida's Nikki Fried. The National Cannabis Roundtable was created as John Boehner was working with Privateer Holdings on a cannabis legalization strategy. This started at least in early 2018. In the middle of this planning, one of the people working with them (Boehner ex chief of staff Mike Sommers) took over running **The American Petroleum Institute**. * This was happening in 2018, right as the GOP was legalizing hemp. Hemp being introduced into our biofuel economy would be so perfect for all the special interests involved with hemp/cannabis. Alcohol companies already do stuff like recycle the barley they brew beer with to make other beverage additives. **Hemp biofuel would turn already cheap hemp CBD/THC into a free product that can be upsold for premium prices.** Right after BAT invested in them, Charlotte's Web appointed a CFO who came from AB InBev's subsidiary that recycles their barley, called Evergrain Ingredients. The previous year CWEB appointed Tim Saunders, who was working with ex-Canopy head Bruce Linton. They had a SPAC that was specifically focused on the hemp supply chain. Linton saying that by the time you get to extracting CBD, you should already have made a profit off the rest of the plant. Texas company Honeywell has even been working with a big hemp biofuel project since 2024 to research hemp as a substitute for petroleum products. This biofuel company has a program to partner with hemp growers for feedstock and utilize carbon credits. This is happening as Texas and Florida are the two key states for hemp beverages.

Southern Glazers Wine & Spirits just acquired a New York distributor that focuses on Long Island. This is a primary distributor of AB InBev products, but it is also a [Tilray distributor](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260319126088/en/Southern-Glazers-Wine-Spirits-to-Acquire-Clare-Rose-Inc). >The transaction includes the exciting opportunity to distribute Anheuser-Busch’s full product portfolio currently sold in the Long Island area.......along with Tilray Brands, Pabst Brewing Company, and a range of brands from additional suppliers. Tilray and Southern Glazers have a long relationship. From early on in Canada, continuing through 2022 when Southern was going to distribute Tilray's CBD beverage products in the US.

You are linking BDSA, who do **cannabis** tracking. They are talking about cannabis beverages sold in dispensaries, and the entire point is that beverages exploded in sales once the went into regular retail channels like alcohol. Notice how the products they are looking at are high dose products, and they even say low dose is an opportunity. * BDSA Retail Sales Tracking show that 68% of beverages sold in Q2 2024 were 100 mg products, suggesting that there is an audience expansion **opportunity for brands that can effectively launch a lower-dose product** Liquor store owners have said THC drinks are taking up >10% of their total sales already. From last year: * Jon Halper, CEO of Minnesota liquor store chain Top Ten Liquors, told Reuters in June that THC beverages now make up ***15***% of his business Note it's all about distribution: * Wylie’s Rebel Rabbit is only available in kegs in a handful of taverns in the Carolinas because he’s had trouble getting **distributors to buy into the concept**, but cans of the beverage are available in 14 states. This is why I have long followed the beverage distributors, and seeing prominent AB InBev and Coors distributors start allowing THC. It's a very fast growing market that targets a completely different consumer base than cannabis dispensaries. One of the fastest growing hemp drink demographic are middle aged women looking for healthy alcohol alternatives. Don't just blow off this space because of the failures of the past. All the big alcohol companies were looking into THC drinks. Then we ran into emulsion issues (CBD sticking to can liners) and then COVID hit. They didn't forget that they desperately need a new product to survive.

Nothing a brief Google wouldn't fix, but I'll help ya: SAAB (acronym from the literal Swedish translation of "The Swedish Aeroplane Corporation [AB]) was officially started in 1937 with a history of air and weapons tech dating back before that date with some independent companies merging and combining on the stated date. They didn't start manufacturing cars until 1948 (SAAB 92), they merged with semi-truck and heavy equipment manufacturer Scania in 1968, and it was all one huge company until 1990 when the auto manufacturing part of the company was separated from the rest into SAAB Automobile, and General Motors bought a moderate stake in just that part of the company. SAAB Automobile and Scania were de-merged in 1995 [even though the Scania name was used for another five years for brand continuity and de-merger agreements, and Scania's griffin logo used for another 10 years past that because of the same agreement], and GM bought a controlling stake of SAAB Automobile in 2000, (and continued to bleed SAAB A. dry like they do with everything that dinosaur of a company does... while GM may have extended SAAB's life by purchasing them, as SAAB [autos] was more design-minded than profit-driven, GM ownership was very cannibalistic towards their tech and didn't know or care enough to run a company such as SAAB [whereas Ford ran Volvo marginally better and let Volvo have a "longer leash" than GM did with SAAB]). When the financial crash of 2008 hit, SAAB was one of the brands they chopped, but GM still had control over who purchased them, and (long story short) due to the newest 9⁵ being based on a brand-new Vauxhall/Opel [Insignia] chassis (also used by the Buick Regal and Lucerne) GM blocked numerous purchase attempts of SAAB auto, and by the time Spyker AB reached an agreement, the metaphorical ship had taken on too much water at that point. There's even more after that, but I digress... Aerospace and heavy weapons SAAB has been healthy for the most part, and that's ALWAYS been the center of the company. The engineers just decided to make cars "on the side" after WWII with the slight lull in demand for aircraft and such. They're very much still a player in today's developments, but I don't think they mine being slept on, being on the d.l. kind of helps them stay under-the-radar.

> How are YOU using it daily in your job? I'll give you 2 examples of things my team has built - one is a GPT that assesses integration potential to various source systems that our customers ask for integrations to. It looks at internal company documentation of our integration tools, it looks at historical services projects for previous customers to see if we've done the integration before and reads notes captured on those projects, and it reads documentation for the source system's APIs, and spits out a recommendation and any red flags. Is that useful? Absolutely. It turns 30-60 minutes of research into a 5 minute chat session. Another example, we're using a custom GPT to automate part of the process for creating statement of works first drafts for services projects for customers. It pulls transcripts of recorded calls, references internal documentation like above, and gives a nice summary of challenges and objectives. We still have to proofread and sanity check because there are often error and nonsense statements, but it again takes a ~30-60 minute task and turns it into a 10-15 minute task. So, yes absolutely it is helpful, but we're not considering laying anyone off, and we're not adjusting our future hiring plans on the basis of this. Maybe if the team was 50+ people and we had people working exclusively on those tasks, but that's just not our situation. This is a small but meaningful piece of people's day to day work that is now a little easier and faster. >The newest models are less than two weeks old and you're citing studies that are radically out of date Maybe, if the only angle you're considering here is "what can the tech do, in theory, in a low stakes science-project setting", but that's not the actual decision framework for investing in these tools. Candidly if you think that studies produced within the last year or 2 are going to be considered "radically out of date" for executive decision makers, I can only conclude that you're nowhere near a decision making level, because I can absolutely tell you that execs who were in the cohort of the 90%+ of people whose projects failed, it is not going to make one bit of difference if you come to them touting the benefits of the latest model. They've already been burned on what was likely a fairly expensive test, they've burned political and reputational capital sponsoring those projects, and their propensity to sign off on a new project has dropped dramatically. Again, I'm not taking the angle of up-to-the-minute tech capabilities, I'm talking about the actual likelihood that enterprise spending continues the way it has been over the last couple of years. >I cannot code but I'm building reliable work apps now. I would bet good money that your vibe-coded work apps are also massively insecure and riddled with vulnerabilities that would preclude ever even considering them for any critical or sensitive applications at scale. Personal assistants are great (see my examples above), but that is emphatically not the scale of usage that is needed to make this machine run in terms of supporting the multiples and valuations of companies providing these tools. Not even close. And that's not even considering the legislation that's coming into place around explainability/transparency that's going to affect all major LLM providers this year (California AB-2013 and EU AI Act), or things like the massive security vulnerability that was discovered in OpenClaw for example (CVE-2026-25253). You really think big companies are going to roll this stuff out at scale willy-nilly when they're apt to see in the news one day that the scaffolding for their agents has MASSIVE security vulnerabilities that could grind the whole system worldwide to a halt on a dime? Yeah, again, if you think that's not front of mind for CISOs and security teams you're out of your mind. For a long time this stuff didn't seem to matter, but now it's very clear that it DOES matter.

Added to MSFT, TOITF, SPGI and MCO. I think this is an extraordinary time where we can pick up some of the best companies of all time as they descend from their usually astronomical multiples. Also starting to do some DD on Sectra AB , they are a medical IT company.

IF you guys just need to park money to wait things out for a bit, you might as well put it into an investment manager like AllianceBernstein (AB). Stable pricing and >8% dividend

AB's holding company made a tender offer last year of $38.50/share, which was a 7.8% premium at the time. I've held it for a long time and added to my position recently to increase income and reduce volitity. IMO it's fairly priced around $40.

Murky-Ambition3898

AB has decent 8% dividends, tiny bonus while holding.

SECdeezTrades

AB is a holding pattern company they use to store cash. "they" being the pelosi family team. it's a boring financial company paying good dividends with moderate price swings as ppl commit more or less money to their funds (they get management fees). Basically they have nothing they want to throw the cash into. but not scared enough to dump it elsewhere

Yes, Nancy Pelosi (through her husband, Paul Pelosi) recently disclosed significant sales of major technology stocks in late December 2025, with filings made in January 2026. These transactions were part of a reported $69 million portfolio repositioning that included selling shares of Apple, Nvidia, Amazon, and others.  **Recent Sales (Late 2025/Early 2026):** According to disclosures filed on January 23 and 26, 2026, the following major sales occurred around December 24–30, 2025:  * **Apple (AAPL):** Sold a substantial amount, with reports indicating a sale of 45,000 shares (valued at $5M–$25M) and a separate contribution of 28,200 shares to a donor-advised fund. * **NVIDIA (NVDA):** Sold 20,000 shares ($1M–$5M). * **Amazon (AMZN):** Sold 20,000 shares ($1M–$5M). * **Walt Disney (DIS):** Sold 10,000 shares ($1M–$5M). * **PayPal (PYPL):** Sold 5,000 shares ($250K–$500K). * **Alphabet (GOOGL):** Contributed 7,704 shares to a donor-advised fund.  **Reallocation and Context:** * **AI Exposure:** Despite the sales, the filings indicate that Pelosi continued to increase exposure to Artificial Intelligence (AI) by exercising call options in companies like Nvidia and purchasing new positions, suggesting a strategic shift rather than a full exit from tech. * **New Positions:** In January 2026, she acquired 25,000 shares of asset management firm AllianceBernstein (AB). * **Why the trades?** These year-end transactions are often executed for tax purposes or portfolio diversification. * **Retirement:** Pelosi has announced she will not seek re-election in 2026, meaning her mandatory stock disclosures will cease in January 2027.

Buy blue chip international stocks that aren't caught up in the AI / tech hype train. They can be hard to find because 98% of the headlines are the same. LVMH, Mitsubishi, banks like Royal Bank of Canada, Paribas, and HSBC, Halmas, Eurofins, Nubank, Rolls Royce, there are a bunch of them if you look. If you look further you can find conglomerates and funds that have had solid long term growth and are in non-US markets like Industrivarden AB, Addtech, etc. I personally am a fan of nuclear resurgence and there are engineering and tech firms around the world involved in that industry that are good buys. Stay away from the speculation like OKLO. Starting about 9 months ago I moved about 10% of my money (which is now about 15%), I bought them in their local currencies (yen, GBP, Euro, etc) so I have a combination of growth and a hedge against US and USD.

What do you mean they should embrace the 2018 definition? It is almost certain that flower that was once considered legal THCa flower under 2018 will soon be the same as marijuana. The products whose legality still seems to be up in the air are the low dose hemp products like gummies/beverages and full spectrum CBD, but I don't see much pushback on them banning THCa flower. Hemp also does still have some banking issues. There is a section about it in SAFER Banking. [https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/2860/text#toc-H64CFDA839B864B57B4AB3721527A9E9D](https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/2860/text#toc-H64CFDA839B864B57B4AB3721527A9E9D) >"...despite the legalization of hemp, some hemp businesses (including producers, manufacturers, and retailers) continue to have difficulty gaining access to banking products and services; and..." >"...businesses involved in the sale of hemp-derived CBD products are particularly affected, due to confusion about the legal status of such products."
