CANN gonna do a Bitcoin yo!
Just trying to get my foot in the door…
with these MMJ pennystocks are these ones you hold onto longterm?
Had 6 of the 10. Had to sell them off. No work has begun in the 8 states. The others are good stocks however have become fairly expensive. TRTC and CBIS are only ones thus far that turn in a few dollars.
Good knowledge
I'm not sure who or what to believe. When I first bought marijuana stock I did my research and KAYS and MSRT were two that came up as good bets. Now neither are even mentioned. I then checked out another one MJTK and that one is hard to find. So, How am I to believe, HEMP and MJNA are going to be winners. I'm beginning to think all this hype about marijuana stock is just that, hype.
I understand what you are saying and where you are coming from.
But, the absolute BOTTOM LINE that I must never forget again (and you not either) is that at the end….its all just a bet. Its a gamble no matter how good the research is.
Now, about this weed industry….Its a gamble also. But, I am jumping in. In my gut I feel good about it. I love the idea that I can buy 15,000 shares of a penny stock that has a price of .009 or something for a few hundred dollars. My goal is to pick 5-8 of these weed penny stocks and buy a few hundred of each/. Not spending a lot of money and just see what happens. Its possible in years as States legalize which will happen everything eventially that ONE of them, just one jumps up to $10 a share or more and DOES make me rich. I believe this can happen. I do believe that this new weed industry which is in infant stage…was just like the .dot com industry back in late 90's. Those that gambled and bought penny stocks…got rich before the bubble bursts. Those chickens lost out.
I am NOT losing out this time because this kind of industry JUST does not ever happen in our lifetime. Nothing like this has ever happened and probably never will where you get a product like weed that goes legal and automatically creates a multiple BILLION dollar economy of its own. Just doesnt happen. For most weed stocks if company is solid and has been growing has no where to go but UP in share price. Im doing it. I know I might lose, but it will only be a few hundred.
Are you daft? If you want to play it safe, buy Scotts Miricle Gro. SMG
