To say this market is "sensitive" to Trump and trade headlines is an understatement. The Dow lurched 231 points lower in just 10 minutes last Friday on news that a Chinese trade delegation wouldn't be coming to meetings in Montana after all.

This past week, stocks were directly tethered, for better and worse, to news of the president's fortunes and the ups and downs of U.S.-China trade.

Trading in an extremely headline-sensitive market requires a special mindset, even if, as happens, the news doesn't really matter in the long run.

For my money, this makes Nevada the most important cannabis market in the world. This is no hunch, either; two transactions over the past few weeks have basically borne out my statement and validated the extreme value in the Nevada market.

It’s easier than you think to turn $50 into millions.

And we’ll show you how to get started. Airbnb and Uber both began as little startups. Airbnb made 3,500% profit for some early-stage investors.

And some early investors in Uber made 11,900% on their stake in the company.
