4 Best Stocks to Buy as Americans Flee Cities

Many Americans have had enough.

They do not want to live in big cities anymore.

In fact, it's estimated that nearly one third of Americans are considering moving to less densely populated areas in the wake of the pandemic and social unrest.

That's according to new data from the Harris Poll.

With work from home becoming the new normal, people are increasingly feeling more comfortable getting "off the grid." They want to be less dependent on government officials for support and feel more in charge of their lives.

They want to feel safe again.

Why I'm Watching This Cannabis-Tech Firm

We talk a lot about the dominating position enjoyed by the largest producers of cannabis; that quality will get more, not less, important going forward.

But in a sector like marijuana, the niches (the needs that the biggest players can't or won't address) will be critically important… and – make no mistake – very lucrative.

I Found Four Big Investing Ideas (and a Lot More) on a 900-Mile Motorcycle Run

You know, I've been motorcycling for as long as I can remember.

First, I wanted to see if the cultural values that make our nation so great are still there, and rediscover how life outside the media-driven big cities works.

And second, my wife and I wanted to relax away from the crush of the big cities that increasingly dominate our lives.

We succeeded wildly on both counts!
