MJ

Coronalol

I’m talking prime MJ penetration levels.

Jeez no way. Jordans are often Hypebeasts holy grail shoes. Young peeps love them and Influencers push them. Also being Nikes dedicated Basketball shoe and the absurdly popular icons just playing basketball will be enough to keep sales high, even if they wear their own shoes. As the previous guy said, most younger people who are not into Basketball but more into fashion know nothing about MJ, maybe that he was the greatest at most. And there is no immortality in brands, who told you even that. It needs constant good management to keep brands alive.

SocratesDaSophist

Jordan as a brand is not strictly about MJ. I think the consumer will be averse to spend on discretionary items, unless there is a compelling reason. That's what Nike needs to offer consumers.

skcus_um

Not a Nike fanboy but growing up, I've always had one or two Nike products at all times even though I never went out of my way to acquire them - the brand was so ubiquitous that it'd end up in my possession anyway; be it a gift or an on-sale item that I came across. But I haven't had any Nike stuff in a while. It's like this brand has vanished from the ether. Even in shoe stores now I don't see Nike. I see Nike being talked about more often on investing forum than on fashion/sports forum. Lol. That's not a good sign. Nike is just another brand. Once a company lost the crown, it's near impossible to get it back. Nike was a giant, it was the king of an era that consisted of MJ, Kobe, Ronaldo (the original one). That era is in the past. Nowadays when you mention Ronaldo, fans thinks of the Portuguese player. Lol. Imo, it will continue to fade away as the newer fresher brands fight for the crown. The Gen Alpha and the Gen Beta will look at this brand as their grandpa's brand.

CallShot7029

You’re wrong there - the other path is a broad determination by SCOTUS declaring MJ scheduling at all to be unconstitutional. It can happen and Clarence Thomas has already expressed interest in revisiting that case. Google “Clarence Thomas Marijuana” They declined to take it up last winter, but something like this that can cause the kind of confusion that would get the topic in front of the justices can easily get a full removal from the CSA.

SwordfishOk504

>This matters to us because is sets a precedent for post S3. It’s not exact, but it sets up a court battle to fully decriminalize MJ. It sets zero precedent. And S3 already means state-legal (medical) are in compliance with federal policy.

Nike has fumbled on so many fronts, but here’s a few… Gen Z don’t buy Jordan’s anymore They prefer to gamble on Polymarket or Pokémons instead. Jordan’s resale value has dropped subsequently. They have gone woke, have too much inventory, don’t sell well in China… And they keep doing retarded collaborations like with Kardashian. Honestly….. between MJ and that hoe…. What are they thinking

srfdriver99

They shrunk their market from approximately every single American to maybe 20% of it at most with their continued insistence on loudly taking fringe political positions, alienating both the other side and the "I'm sick of hearing about politics" crowd. They have yet to do anything to indicate they've learned from their mistake, and it turns out that "Republicans buy sneakers too" was exactly the correct worldview. Shoulda listened to MJ, it's not like they've got his logo on their shoes or anything. It turns out that slashing your customer base by 80% is not a viable approach to doing business.

Puzzleheaded_Put_584

What’s crazy is that Nike was a whack company until they lucked up with Jordan but now that people are off it, they’re going back to what they probably always would’ve been without MJ. You could’ve said they could ride on Lebron’s or Kobe’s but they’re both gone or about to be so there’s nobody else…..

Friendly-Profit-8590

Is jump man coming back? Otherwise it kind of looks like it’s going back to its pre MJ days

UsedState7381

FY 2027 started yesterday BTW. Doesn't means that they will work on this right away, in fact, I remain positive that they will only issue guidance after all the rescheduling process is over, so they can figure out if the relief will be for medical MJ only, or it will involve recreational cannabis revenue too. Not to mention the fact that there's the pending issue of retroactive 280E taxes to resolve.

zerowaitestate

My interpretation is this: it's not clear what happens to SecDef when Congress reconvenes. MJ took early recess to avoid a vote on his impeachment before the election, so it's not looking great for him actually. The motion is privileged so it will be back as soon as the session resumes. There is a possible path for 🥭 that involves blaming Hegseth for the whole thing and sacrificing him, and he may be able to do that before Massie can impeach. The pullback on Houthi strikes at the last minute seems like dithering on this point.

Anyone else stick out their tongue like MJ to concentrate while buying a FD?

Loightsout

That’s only because of the fact they don’t have a shiny ambassador figure. Tiger Woods and MJ 10000% made people buy exactly the shit they wore. No matter the review.

comancheranche

Me and the wife like to start w/ MJ or “it’s a beautiful morning” and then let the songs shuffle on their own. Usually a good vibe especially on early mornings

Sugarfoot2182

Propaganda. Dems have been trying to reform MJ not make it unaffordable; taxes need to go to schools and not the cops’ budget

Newbie-Investor-SC

looking at NKE chart, MJ probably still had more than 20X gains over the years he was awarded the stock, but I guess he still wouldn’t be happy the share price has gone down 70% during 5 years

Newbie-Investor-SC

I’m quite curious about Michael Jordan and Lebron’s Nike deal. If I rmb correctly, MJ’s Nike deal is equity based.

Brap_Zanigan

It goes pretty fast once open. When we legalized in CO what feels like forever ago, we had all those billboards up warning parents that stoners were going to be giving their kids expensive gummies at Halloween and that fucked up people were going to be crashing their cars everywhere. Also they grabbed on to that poor college kid from WY I think who ate way too much and jumped off a balcony. Nobody cares and my elderly FIL who was a never MJ now likes it once he realized it helps with his arthritis and he doesn't have to take meds.

random-redditer8085

I think the way people buy products have changed. Nike has always been about athletes and performance. Unfortunately people are spending more time on their phones than ever and I believe whoever wins that strategy becomes more dominant in the market. Other brands have pushed influencer marketing far better than nike, - On, Alo, Vuori, Lulu ETC. I rarely see influencer ads for Nike. I only see the other guys. That's data that needs to be studied. Their competitors are winning the online game. The younger generation is in love with influencers more than athletes. Just being an athlete is not enough to sell stuff anymore, except a few athletes (the top ones - LBJ, MJ, RF, etc). Someone is more likely to buy a set from Alix Earle, Kai Cenat etc. (that's just the truth now) 1. I also think they went away from top quality and innovation in their products. A regular shirt with a nike logo isn't enough anymore. Because again, they dont see influencers wearing it as much. That's why ALO is so popular now, it's overpriced junk , but people wear it cause their favorite creators do. 2. Nike is losing the soccer battle to Adidas (Adidas owned the World Cup). Soccer is a global sport. 3. Retailers have more shelf space for other brands now. I walk into a Dicks and sometimes see more options for shoes than Nike. I wonder if Nike tried to go DTC and messed up their retailer shelf space. Nike has lost the cool factor. I even buy new balances and Ons mostly. But I think they could grow back, after all, they have some of the best talent in the world in the company.

I agree with your points. China have their own brands now, Nike can't rely on them for strong growth. I don't think the youth have the same relationship with MJ as my generation did so I worry that brand won't be strong with growth either. One silver lining I see are the videos of elite high schools getting geeked about the Nike swagmobile showing up and delivering them a bunch of Nike gear. Maybe they find the stars of the future before other shoe brands can find them. Nike seems like a very solid company, I just don't see where the strong growth comes from to justify a high P/E multiple.

I think the real tell is the decline of Jordan brand. To be that was the most resilient part of the portfolio to due MJ being MJ. But to kids these days LeBron is the new MJ

OldManJenkins420th

Every sports fan when they were younger becomes disenfranchised by the sports evolution. Not a basketball issue I’ve heard the same for soccer football etc. I’d rather believe it was a generational thing that humans experience than every sport becoming worse. The old heads in the 80s and 90s, call the Jordan era soft. Look at what wilt said about MJ. Old heads criticize tiki taka play in soccer too.

Probably not, there were 294 corrections but nothing changed about the DEAs statements that “MJ can no longer remain S1”. We’re just waiting for Julius recommendation for next bump, then terry cole final saying. 

CallShot7029

Doesn’t really matter - Trump wants to show progress that embarrasses Biden. S3 does that. But to keep MJ full legalization from becoming a major Dem issue in 2028, he needs to keep the ball rolling. And I’m willing to continue to bet (via investing) that Dems will make MJ a major issue because they’re so completely outmaneuvered on one of their signature topics. You’re right - S3 doesn’t do a lot. But we can count on Trump doing what will make him the most money. And if he can manipulate anything to get a big bump, he will. And if done right, this could be a big bump.

TDR guess yesterday was on the hearings, and she said that S3 should be fully wrapped up in October.  We should be getting a final rule in 30 days + extra 30 to 60 days for litigation and judicial reviews...Lines up with October, which is also roughly the deadline I had in my mind back when we got S3 for medical MJ, and the ruling said the hearings would go until July 15th. Right around the midterms.

UsedState7381

>You also expect Trump to bring some attention back to the issue at that point. I have been expecting this for months, but Trump has not talked or made a single tweet about cannabis even after medical MJ was rescheduled to S3. I think he's not saying anything about it, maybe the GOP might use this in their propaganda material leading up for the midterms at best.

No, they primarily lend to MJ companies. If you pull up Chicago Atlantic’s website they discuss their various funds including LIEN, and if you pull up their SEC filings you can go through their loan portfolios. It’s a BDC/CEF however so liquidity is low (which is why there are no options). They trade at a discount to NAV because of the inherent risk baked into the sector (MJ companies do not have access to traditional banking, have to deal with unfair tax treatment, have an overhang that the feds could technically pull the plug on them at any moment, etc.). They also traded down along with the private credit fears even though they do not have the exposure to software companies that is a driver of those fears. If you go through their loan portfolio and the terms they extracted you probably won’t find anything else like it on the market. They also currently have very low debt leverage for a BDC. If there is anything that is a red flag it is that they filed for a large shelf offering several weeks ago. The CEO has already come out and said they are not issuing new shares under NAV, that they are focused on increasing leverage where it makes sense, and that it’s to give the company optionality to be ready to capitalize on rescheduling. Could just be typical Wall Street BS, but haven’t seen anything instance in which the CEO contradicted his statements from my research into it. FWIW, I am holding 5600 shares that I bought when it dipped to $9.04/share. I also made a post on the dividend subreddit to gather feedback, but didn’t see anything that stopped me from pulling the trigger.

UsedState7381

>As soon as Trulieve dropped 30% after the “big uplisting catalyst”, I don’t even know what I’m here for anymore. An S3 headline pop and fade? Same here tbh, I have sized up my position in cannabis a lot in antecipation that once MJ was rescheduled to 3, I would have made enough money for all of this nonsense to be worth it. Clearly, I have overestimated the market's fucks to give to this industry.

Weird that opioid to MJ was the single argument made for pain. Many many people use MJ for pain without ever taking opioids. But maybe they know what they are doing. Its not like anything we think will change the proceedings.

I think I've seen MJ Stocks making a comeback every 3 months for the last 5 years. Anecdotally, I feel like the cannabis craze has peaked. At least here in california, after legalization it felt like *everyone* smoked. Now I dont think I know anyone who smokes more than once a week. People who I considered the biggest stoners I know are now telling me they havent smoked in months, but they still drink and do other party drugs, so its not like they just went straightedge. My little brother just graduated college from a school that used to be considered "the stoner school", when I was in college I dont know anyone who didnt smoke weed. He says that most people he knows rarely smoke and they all just drink and do other party drugs as well.

In your shoes, I'd be crazy enough to full port into Trulieve by the official announcement, and be ready to take profits by Wednesday(not fully, but considerably). Wednesday I might be selling my MSOS shares of they pumps enough for it (that would be above $12 though and I don't think it gets there). Main reason for that is that Kim will be selling too, and then we will certainly see the stock diluting too as they have a pending offering to go through. If we consider this Uplisting as an reverse IPO of sorts(I am), we can figure out how it will go based on several past IPOs and OTC stocks uplisting. Then I'll probably take a week or two off these stocks, buy back in only after we know what the SAM lawsuit against S3 for medical MJ is looking like.

Splash Beverage appointed Brady Cobb. Made a move into hemp/CBD. Stock price has been decimated.

One thing I noticed recently which may or may not be related. Splash was a **Florida based beverage company** that acquired a hemp company, signaling to me they will be making a future beverage move. No other reason to merge with Splash other than that. Brady Cobb's crew was long connected to Jones Soda. The executives there are still close associates. Like Clive Sirkin and Paul Norman, who have been with Cobb's crew for years. Recently Jones Soda divested their cannabis assets to stay focused on soda, alcohol, hemp, etc.. Just yesterday while doing some random research, I noted that the legal representation for Jones Soda in their cannabis divestment transaction was David Eddy. >Christopher J. Babcock and Austin L. Poynter of Foley & Lardner LLP acted as legal counsel for MJ Reg Disrupters LLC and David Eddy acted as legal counsel for Jones Soda Co David Eddy is a **Florida lawyer, who was Brady Cobb's partner** starting in 2013 when they formed Cobb Eddy.
