This Technology Will Fuel Hundreds of Billions in Cannabis Profits

Cannabis has come a long way in a short time and has gone through its first (but certainly not last) ultra-explosive growth phase.

Then it underwent an expected, healthy correction, where investors and companies figured out which ideas worked and which ones didn't.

What emerged was a cannabis sector that's stronger and more robust than it was just four years ago.

Now legal marijuana is primed and ready for the next leg higher.

And the innovative, sophisticated technology our Michael Robinson will show you today is going to help propel it higher.

You see, those cannabis companies that realize the critical importance of high tech will have the edge they need to crush the competition – and deliver extreme returns to their shareholders.

Here's how...

Is New York Getting Closer to Legalizing Cannabis?

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo created a new stir in cannabis investors last month.

Cuomo said in May that he believes the state will legalize cannabis.

And now that the state's coronavirus number have shrunk from over 11,000 to around 600 daily cases, the governor may have room on his plate to spare.

A state like New York legalizing weed would be a huge catalyst for cannabis legalization in the United States.

And we're going to show you how to start investing in cannabis and create generational wealth today.

Avoid These 2 Stocks in July

Whatever the cause, the virus is spreading again across a considerable part of the United States.

Some experts think we could get to a disastrous 100,000 cases a day before this peak.

We don't know how this plays out, but we do know there are some stocks you should probably avoid until we see signs of a reversal.

The lows in March and April this year served as an incredible buying opportunity since stocks have rallied 40% higher since then.

But don't let the low share prices of these firms fool you.

How to Invest (and Profit) in Real Estate - Without Buying Property

The coronavirus has left 13.3% of people in the United States without jobs. Retail spending is down about 8% compared to pre-pandemic times. Earnings from big-name companies like Nike Inc. and Costco Corp. have missed already-low expectations.

Yet, in the face of these stats, the stock market has been rising.

Since its March low, the Dow Jones and S&P 500 have risen about 37%. The Nasdaq is at an all-time high, up 45%.

The V-shaped bounce off of these lows has been completely unprecedented. But stocks aren't the only asset investors are flocking to…

Last Monday, pending home sales for May were released. Coming in at a whopping 44.3% spike, the number overtook the 15% expectation, making for the largest one-month jump in history.

In the face of low economic numbers, real estate, just like stocks, is surging. Realtor.com reports that over the course of 2020, inventory has declined by 15.7%, all while average listing prices rose 3.8% – both indications of a market in high demand.

But you don't have to buy property to invest and make money in the real estate sector.

How to Pick the Next Billion-Dollar Company

One of the most common questions our David Weisburd is asked is what the hottest new startup sector is.

Many investors have very strong opinions on these spaces, and stake their entire careers on the belief that they know the right answer.

These types of investors are called thematic investors – and some of the top venture capitalists in Silicon Valley fall into this group.

Here's the thing about being a thematic investor: There's a small chance you will be very rich, and close to a 100% chance you will lose all your capital.

Which is why the strategy David prefers is an investment style called generalist investing.

Here's what he means by that - and why it's so profitable...

Why Put Options Are the Key to Profits This July

There's a lot to be bullish about, despite the headlines, or whether we're in a "second wave" of the coronavirus or if we're not done with the first wave.

If you have a long-term view of stocks, you almost have to be bullish.

The markets have an upward bias that's tough to deny.

In fact, this year we've seen markets come roaring back from the March "COVID Crash," and the NASDAQ Composite has even made new all-time highs.

There are trillions of dollars in stimulus sloshing around the markets.

Interest rates are as low as they've been since 2009, and likely to stay that way for the foreseeable future.

That said, traders have to deal with the here and now.

And, while our Tom Gentile's not betting against the markets in the long run, this month his proprietary Money Calendar is flashing a lot of bearish signals that indicate a lot of stocks will be heading lower.

Those signals are backed up by the technicals, too.

But no need to worry.

Tom's going to make his case for switching to bearish trading.
