I was just kidding about the commercial, but that would be fun, wouldn't it? Great, so you were already familiar with options and didn't have that learning curve. But really, all I'm using "options" for is the LEAPS Calls that act as *share substitutes.* So you've gone with 5-month and 11-month Calls, I think that's alright. I'll just say that more time is safer, but play around and see what you like. As you said, if the underlying has a lot of momentum then just about anything will work. But as you play around with expiration lengths, keep this in mind: when I was new to this I think I started at 3 months, then went even closer: 2 months, even 1 month. But the ETFs would dip, and even though I was always at 80-delta or higher, the Calls lost value very quickly. So I made a rule for myself that I'd **never buy Calls less than 3 months out.** Then I read on the forum someone saying it was "okay" to buy Calls at 100-120DTE, that it was kind of a sweet spot, so I moved to a 100-day minimum. And that's been working well. *But I only do that with profits.* *My* money, the initial investment, always goes into >1y Calls at 80-delta, no exceptions. But when I take profits out of them, if I still like the ticker I'll buy Calls 100-120 days out, 80-delta. **The 80-delta rule never changes for me.** Then I do >1y with seed money, and 100-120DTE with profits. After GLD, SLV, and COPX recover for me (or maybe sooner for silver, if it doesn't wake up), I have a new rule for myself: **No commodity ETFs.** *No metals* (gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper, uranium). *No fossil fuels* (oil, natural gas, gasoline). *No ag products* (wheat, corn, cows). And another step away from commodities: **No commodity-adjacent ETFs.** Miners for the metals, oil drillers/refiners and oil support industries. For ag, I don't know, maybe no fertilizers? Tractor manufacturers? I haven't run across those support-type tickers yet for edibles. Oh, no MJ ETFs either. Basically, no reliance on a single "thing." Back to basics with ETFs: baskets of stocks in some industry, sector, or even country. Oh, and for gold you can chart it somewhere and see how it's behaved. But for me, to talk about holding something for a year, that's an eternity. 3-5 months is kind of my 'investing' horizon. And I know that's not "investing," so call it 'trading.' But I'm never holding anything if it's not making money *right now.* And like you said, stay in copper (or whatever) while it's going up; but the week or month (you decide for you) it *stops* going up, on to something else that is. Take care.
All of them for MJ possession/trafficking?
You regard, that's not an MJ stock.
I think that at this point we should be wondering if our cannabis stocks, and the rest of the country, would be better off without her running the DOJ. I want to say "yes" at least to the MJ industry, but I think that several of these stocks won't survive for another year unless S3 becomes the law and it gets the ball rolling for further reforms on the industry, all of which is very unlikely to happen this year if she quits or is forced to resign. Oh well, not much to do here besides watching all of the chaos unfold and our money erodes, I guess.
You would think Bad Bunny was the second coming of MJ looking at this app
“SaaS is dead” is a market driven narrative not grounded in reality. Anthropic *made an announcement* and suddenly it gave the big players an opening to shakeout leverage on a market that got way ahead of itself. You can’t just make an announcement and then wave a magic wand and it’s a reality. This is just overblown fear that gives value investors a great opportunity to get in cheap once institutional selloff cools off. We’ve seen this cycle repeated with the “___ is dead” narrative so many times in financial markets. When eventually the hype fades away and we find the world didn’t end after all. SaaS is just a tool and a platform. The real value of these companies are the decades of battle tested workflows, compliance, and support. Those could have already been created in house forever, before AI tools were even a thing. AI tooling doesn’t suddenly make this an option. So let’s look at an Anthropic driven custom built application workflow. Okay I want to recreate my HIPAA compliant, security hardened app using vibe coding. I could pass this off to an outsourced consulting team, but do they know the pitfalls of compliance and auditing? No, I need a senior architect now who can get the requirements in, a business analyst, and another dev to make it happen. Previously, maybe I had to have 3 times that amount of staff to get it created. Okay, now using either track, I technically get it to work, and I need to hire someone to skill up on this specific app we created, in order to support it. I also have to skill up the support desk. Oh cool, I don’t need as many support staff to hire, because I created a chatbot who can reduce support calls and costs. But then I still need to hire devs either in-house or consultants to build that bot. Or buy one off the shelf. I still need human support anyway since most people hitting the bots already know what they want and want a human to solve the more unexpected cases. Or some people may not want to talk to the bot at all. So now I’m keeping those 40-60 year olds you are making fun of. Arrogant comment on your part that needs directly called out. Since I decided to go niche and reinvent the wheel, they’re the only ones who understand how the system works and can service it. So I just wasted a bunch of my company’s money and time and disrupted its workflows because “cool stuff.” Or I could have just stuck with the SaaS who did all this heavy lifting for me anyway, instead of going Back to the Future and reinventing the wheel. They also respond to market pressures and were forced to improve their product much faster then I ever could have on my own. Investors are confusing tools with actual business processes and workflows. The business processes were worked out years ago. AI does not change that. Where the power of AI sits is in integration and spot solutions to glue everything together in record time and automating it all. Or a new solution where a best of breed SaaS cannot cover the gap. Secondly, the AI tools themselves help the SaaS vendors because they can ship much faster and keep costs down since each dev can now get a lot more done. If we had an AI basketball, is AI Michael Jordan going to perform better than some AI guy off the street? Obviously, MJ is going to smoke the amateur who is confusing the tool with the product. Tech companies exist to get you to buy new stuff and make you think something that already works just because it’s outdated. We saw this exact thing happen with the modern data stack where companies were pushing lots of unnecessary tools not for technical reasons, but because it lines their pockets. Most were just front ends for SQL, a 50 year old language anyway. Is SaaS being disrupted? Of course. But it’s going to have its share of winners and losers, just like every other sector. Those who use the AI tools will be even bigger winners long term.

Liquidity coming back to the Canadian MJ sector? Cannara did a $6.3M private placement today (at $2.10 per share, above the current share price). Aurora looks announced an ATM offering for up to $100M. Way less bullish than the Cannara PR but still indicative.

Look at her history while she was in Florda, she blocked medical MJ 12 years ago. She is a drug hawk and won't reschedule imo.
amen to that !! maybe if congress is done with nap time they might wanna do anything .......... but we all know MJ has no spine left :D
MJ took that personally
MJ Herald said that Trump directed Bondi to issue the final rule by the end of January. That is not the same as the MJ Herald saying that the final rule is coming out next week. Trump could've directed her to finish this by end of Jan and it still not get finalized by the end of Jan, doesn't mean MJ Herald was incorrect. Just want to clarify this as this is how the game of telephone in this sector works that ends up making people angry at these "insiders" when things don't materialize based on their incorrect interpretation of what was actually said
I doubt MJ lobby paid Trump $2M+ for that kind of delay. Trump chose to do this for the industry. He could have just had an executive order for the CBD hemp industry and been done with it. In a midterm year he needs to add those cannabis jobs and win easy support from single issue swing voters. A delay makes no sense, as I'm sure additional super PAC money will be flowing shortly after rescheduling is delivered.
Nobody knows, MJ Herald, Shadd from TDR and Todd Harrison are the only ones running with this rumor, not exactly the best sources.
So is schedule 3 final rule coming out next week like the MJ Herald says?
MJ just isn't trading like those who know, know Or is it?? ;)
I'm average day trader, not great. I'm up due to politically driven picks - gold, drones, and defense. Not all wins though - my biotech positions got crushed (Crisper and Moderna) because they dropped before I could reallocate. All carrying a lot of MJ bags because I thought Trump would push for legalization as a populist move. Bottom line, when Trump got elected I reviewed the project 2025 plans and adjusted my portfolio accordingly
>Ben was too busy spending his days fighting with Dan on X, when he should've been off in Washington coddling old Donnie with Kim and the other grovelers .. For once, I don't disagree with you. But to be fair, he also did put up some of Green Thumb's money towards lobbying, it's not like he's sitting on his ass doing nothing while the rest of the industry is on Donnie's ear truing to get reforms, he's helping somewhat. I hope that once schedule 3 is finally here and members at the White House can openly talk about the MJ industry(and not just the medicinal side of the plant), Don will start to really pressure congress to push the reforms forwards and make public statements about it. I think there was tidbit of a article a month ago talking about the meeting he had with Kim, Kessler and other industry insiders VS some prohibitionists, and Trump wanted to tweet about it already but couldn't until the comment period was over, after the Final Rule.
Hate to say it in this sub of MJ, but Let's go Charlotte's Web!! At least there's one going up.

The odds have nothing to do with it. Some gambles are high-probability and some are low-probabity. Go ask an options investor.
Market manipulator **Doug Kass** in May 2024 (20 months ago) hyping DEA approval. **What’s the latest with this charlatan?** Article quoting **Doug Kass** on cannabis rescheduling: Reform: Our Industry’s Great Divide — MJ Magazine — This article quotes Kass’s post on X that said: **”We have learned yesterday that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will shortly approve a rescheduling of cannabis to Schedule III…”** according to his social-media posts. https://mgmagazine.com/business/legal-politics/reform-our-industrys-great-divide/
Two different companies won't ever trigger a wash sale since they cannot be identical. Two different ETFs also will not unless the index being followed are exactly the same. (SPY/VOO = wash MSOS/MJ =no wash)
What gets me, is that when laws have been made in the last couple years for example solar power or rare earths, the market absolutely flies. But for some reason the rich Wallstreet ghouls only attack marijuana. I dont fully understand. Like, I get the short term strat of dunking on dumb money and scaring them into selling for a loss, but they must see up the upside here. The rare earth stocks are equally junk stocks and are purely prospective, but that didn't stop them from doubling on tariff news. Members of congress brazenly inside traded solar stocks (without consequences. What is the purpose of the SEC again?!) before the announcement of the import ban. But seemingly no interest in cannabis sector. Is it stigma? Is it a "bird in hand" idea? Are they waiting until the DEA officially reschedules? Or, do analysts truly not see the billions of dollars in revenue that is about to hit this sector this year? Look, I know its not all apples to apples, but this massive short attack on cannabis stocks is just disconnected from reality. Pushing down already beaten up stocks on low volume is just asinine. Especially when there is money to be made on the upside. Why is everyone with money so F-ing evil? I digress. One of the biggest reasons the MJ sector dropped this year is because Trump got into office and the DEA canceled the proposed rescheduling. HELLOO?!@?! YOUR FEARS WERE UNFOUNDED! CLEARLY! Rescheduling is now back on. Yes, there are still challenges for the industry, but this move cannot be understated in its significance. Go look at any old MJ business on the market. Now check their income statement and balance sheet and imagine a few hundred thousand to tens of millions, depending on the company, in tax relief on those statements. How would those statements change? Now imagine the extra revenue from medicinal MJ sales from new buyers. OK, now imagine J&J, MERK, Phizer, and Abbot buying up the medical MJ market. along with revenue rolling in from medicare recipients. Do these companies still look like penny stocks to you? If you say yes, I guess I'm the dumbass here, IDK.
I’ve been watching MSOS since 2020, before that, MJ since 2018. I entered around $8, average costed down, and got out recently for a little profit. I just very recently after that big down move started to buy more, very slowly. Anyone with options will get absolutely smoked. Weed stocks will always grind lower before u capitulate & then move up. Buy MSOS shares, a small amount- no more then 1% of your net worth and don’t look at that shit. It’s the only way to make actual money on this shit. Your options- I don’t care if they’re out to 2027. You will lose money on that shit
Trump heard MJ say “Fuck them kids” and took it literally
In the words of the 🐐 MJ… Shut up you lil bitch.
So Diana Ross and MJ were pumping out there kids! They the really think we are idiots! I can’t wait for an election year to see all the trump images drop
MJ always looked like a sick fuck, I would not be surprised
No, most of the men caught up in this are quite old. Trump is the exception. Gates and Jagger etc are retired. MJ is dead. I think there may be some consequences on the money laundry side which seems like was part of this as well.
I saw MJ first and wasn't sure if this was going to be about alien disclosure or Epstein files... Forgot how non human he looked.
Did they really use pics of MJ with his own kids with their faces blocked out to make it look like him and bubba are with random young girls?? These clowns will do anything… going after a dead man is like buying puts on meta Fuck it im buying puts on meta
US MJ stocks looking to break into new highs today.
It was another pump and dump from the Con man Trump . The EO actually does nothing, that is why all the MJ plummeted.
Funny story. My son said a black friend had like 40 different sneakers. And he was like "why? who needs that many?" I said, "well sneakers are big part of black culture." Then I got worried I was teaching him something racist. So I actually googled it and it's factually true. Black youths pioneered sneaker culture as a form of status, identity and artistic expression in the 70s and 80s. MJ, rappers like Run DMC pushed it a long to the mega industry as well. If you say it respectfully and with context it's 👍.
because people promoting MJ are the biggest bagholders in history
From MJ Moment: *Trump Dismisses GOP Lawmakers' Opposition To His Marijuana Rescheduling Action, Pointing To Polling And Medical Benefits: The president stressed that "82 percent of the people want this."*
Correct. MJ is being rescheduled **to schedule 3**, now with a Executive Order signed by president Trump himself, exactly what Biden should have done but didn't. No bullshit about schedule 2 anymore, Trump wants 3 and that's the end of the discussion. Which means no 280E tax anymore for MSOs.
MJ users dont smoke the bullshit fear the MSM feeds off
Barron needs the MJ for his tism
MJ stocks will drop like a rock if it's not
>with nothing to back it up on the biggest catalyst in marijuana history. Don't let them spook you. Look at what happened April 30 and May 1 2024 when the DOJ recomnended MJ be rescheduled. Up until now that was the "biggest catalyst in marijuana history". I would love for this to be the first time EVER weedstonks have an event that isn't "sell the news" but this sector is primarily retail holders, and traders. The traders usually dictate the short term. Retail is likely out of drywall powder at this point with the runup in prices over the last week. I think we're looking great long term but don't be upset or confused if the S3 announcement is followed up by a 30% haircut over the following days. Ultimately the fine details of what the EO says is what will dictate the price action.
Is this the Alien Ant Farm version or MJ?
Urlacher would split MJ like wet pine.
Thank you for taking the time to shed some light on what a reall MJ business looks like, one that is truly a sleeping giant and will most definitely sit amongst the top 3 MJ companies in the world.
Maine's MJ laws are illogical, especially rec. Idk if it's some back room agreement with NH or what but it's completely adverse to the rest of New England. When on vacay in Portland recently had a long convo with a shop owner about edible % regs and price points and was just shocked. His words "almost seems like they're protecting the black market". And I have to agree.
My favorite part of this whole scenario... If Dems do take back power, the only move left they have with MJ will be total rescheduling or legalization. Thats the only way to be more liberal on the issue than Trump at that point lol ;)
Until it happens, I’ll just expect him to be pumping up the MJ stocks as his buddies establish their positions to profit off the dump when nothing happens.
Watching $IMCC for a MJ reschedule move. 2.9 M float, last rumor it ran from 1.5 to 20. Chart looks similar with a clean set up. Very nice upside reward to downside risk ratio
MJ got reclassified today, right? Guys…?
Somewhere between now and early January at the latest, according the MJ Herald. We have heard such promises before however, notably after the infamous "few weeks" comment. It's been reported that Kim Rivers and Howard Kessler (source of the CBD THC video Trump posted on his Truth Social) were there when Cannabis was discussed with house speaker Mike Johnson. Keep in mind the EO was phrased "as early as Monday" not a Shadd Dales powered by Dutchie guarentee of Monday. When? We know it's 100% up to Trump. It will be initiated by executive order that much we do know. Once that kicks off, Bondi and Cole will do as they are told. Trump runs an autocracy in the executive branch.

That gap up on MJ is fuckin wild
i had call options @ $7 that expire on 1/16. On Friday morning, there was 0 volume. By the afternoon it was in the hundreds. I think everyone in MJ stocks are just tired of rumors and until we see the rescheduling, we wont really move.
I don’t think anyone can go wrong with any US based MJ stocks. If they can’t do it on their own there will be plenty of consolidation happening. Other countries will want in on the action.
Then he sat on it. You know what MJ and Democrats have in common? Money! One makes it illegally while the other takes it illegally. To make it legal, well then there can’t be illegal untaxed money floating around anymore, can it? Who loses the most if it went legal?
You right it’s not about the smokers but about MJ companies receiving tax breaks and a federally legal path in medical use. Either way it’s about companies being in more to the bottom line.
Behold! The best MJ choices imho. Why? Because it’s a US rescheduling and these are US based companies. https://preview.redd.it/w7higfkdn07g1.jpeg?width=1206&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc8543155dd8f8058698af3d3864d4b5e877cfe2

Hey dump ur leaps then buy PUT leaps cause that would be some nice double dipping and I know you ageeee too cause you help MJ stock leaps. YOU KNOW THOSE STOCKS BLEED LIEK CRAZY. Higher it goes, better for PUTS. I’m not crazy right?
Thank you, I will take this advice to heart. One question: Should I be concerned about low liquidity for the etf I bought (MJ)? Or will that no longer be a problem since I am itm? I paid about 12k for the 118 contracts and if I were to have instantly sold it I would have lost nearly 7k! I was freaked out. I definitely don’t have the 300k+ to exercise the option…
A very merry Christmas indeed. I think I’m going to buy a house…. I have 118 contracts of MJ etf at $28 strike price… truly regarded thing I did might pay off?
I will. 118 contracts at $28 strike price, paid $1.05 premium. December 19 expiry. The etf is MJ. These will print?
The fact that MJ execs, RFK and Oz were all there (and that speaker johnson was told about it) makes me feel like this is 100% legit.
MJ etf going to pop monday. Buy the rumor...

I wouldn't say doesn't .. but it does have it's limitations ConManDan carved a pretty nice living for himself using TA and MJ stocks
Wow I just did this with hiti 😅 even bought at 4.20. And I'm not a fan of MJ really at all. I believe it'll bounce back up (opening new stores) but I'm interested in putting that money elsewhere so waiting til then.
[MJ legalization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_cannabis_by_U.S._jurisdiction) is not a blue-red state issue, but a home-grown vs commercialization issue. On the commercial front, they need federal approval to allowing easier banking and credit card usage. If it happens, you will see a pop due to retail investors, but many of these guys will operate on thin margins.
The fallout-themed 12-packs of Jones Soda at Costco are getting upsold for 400% online, getting that Pokemon-style enthusiasm You have better chances on grabbing a 4-bagger selling those on ebay than you do buying OTC MJ stocks!! Just sayin' ..
It was actually Mitch Zeller who was the key player in the bans. Gottlieb noted that open tank systems were a greater public health benefit than disposables (for those unaware, the open tank stuff used by "vape bros" was a type of nicotine extraction called free-base as opposed to the salts used in smaller disposable devices. MUCH less addictive and had a user selected potency level available). In 2016/2017 Gottlieb effectively saved vaping, although the details are a bit fuzzy as to why since it was ten year ago and I have been out of the industry for some time. The way the entire PMTA process and limited approvals played out has a TON to do with the JUUL debacle wherein they normalized the disposable concept and in turn had the capitol to influence policy decisions, but then also marketed to a broader scope than current smokers (made it a lifestyle product) so it really forced the FDAs hand to do SOMETHING. The easiest way out of an issue is a ban which was the direction they took. Sprinkle in the millions of lobbying dollars from big tobacco trying to shift blame from salt devices to small business' . SUMMARY: White Gottlieb was certainly complicit to an extent, he is not the bad guy here. Mitch Zeller, JUUL, and big tobacco are. This is just another example of large corporations using legislation to push more responsible small business' out of an industry. No different that the hemp legislation that McConnell tossed into the recent spending bill. SOUCE: owned a mid-sized vape company and was active in advocacy efforts at the time. FUN FACT: Big Marijuana pulled a pg from the same book with the VAPI epidemic. They effectively knew it was MJ carts - some sold in licensed dispensaries - that were killing people. They ran a massive media campaign to shift focus/blame to the vape world as the optics for the big boys to fight back were not there at the time, and small business' do not have the expertise/money/representation to raise an effective marketing campaign. SIDE NOTE: If you ever see an argument related to kids as part of a legislative discussion, it is typically big business trying to find the easiest argument to push out more innovative smaller players.
About to legalize MJ... Lol I stand corrected. That's still years away
Don Trump. I’m so done with winning like literally so done . Feeling like MJ
Luke coming out of retirement is some real MJ type of shit
Federal Appeals Court deems gun possession ban over MJ consumers as *inconstitutional*, according to MM. Some good fucking news today 👍
It’s the exact same shit just worded diff. And no it’s not from MJ herald it was a local outlet in FL.
What I posted about two days ago is confirmed: Smart and Safe Florida's has just lost over 200k signatures that would put recreational cannabis on the ballot for Florida in 2026. Only difference here is that initially it was posted that they had lost over 400k signatures, now MJ Herald is reporting that they lost over 200k only. In reality, they need a little over 880k signatures and had about 675k valid signatures, the judge order is setting them back to about 450k signatures With 36 days left for them to deliver those signatures...I do not see how they can make it in time. Smart and Safe Florida is challenging the judge's order, but oh well... It's Florida. With a state governor so hell-bent against cannabis, and with his successor having good odds of picking up the office, Trulieve's insistence with the state must be questioned at points, because this initiative fails without even starting, it's another $25M down the fucking drain again for them this year. What a fucking epic fail.
This is not the same news as the old news you're thinking of, and is making the rounds on MJ Herald right now, should be picked up by MM soon enough.
The whole time Mr Suit is just rubbing his hands together thinking about all the money he's hyst made off MJ
MJ earned $4.2 billion dollars over his lifetime. $89k was nothing to him
