The year is 1848. Hundreds of thousands of ambitious Americans are heading west to cash in on the California gold rush.

Some of these early speculators became rich. But many went bust.

Through it all, the businesses that ended up scoring the biggest profits were the ones selling picks and shovels to the miners.

For example, tractor maker Deere & Co. (NYSE:DE) is a pick and shovel play on the global agriculture industry.

Pick and shovel plays happen all across the economy.

Including the cannabis industry. Continue reading "This Cannabis "Pick and Shovel Play" Grew Revenue 130% In 2016"

The cannabis industry scored a huge victory last week. And if my analysis is correct, cannabis stocks are setting up for a big rally in the next few weeks and even bigger rally in the long run. Let me explain.

On Sunday night, news leaked that on April 10 Canada will announce plans to legalize recreational cannabis by July of 2018. Here’s some coverage from CBCNews if you’d like to take a closer look.

Cannabis will be regulated and taxed but openly available to adults with a valid ID or doctors prescription.

In the short run, the good new out of Canada news gave cannabis stocks a much needed shot in the arm. Continue reading "Canada To Legalize Cannabis By July 2018"

If you are the kind of person who loves getting a great deal, the cannabis sector is calling your name.

Cannabis stocks are officially on sale.

This blast of weakness has been driven by two things.
