The 3 Best Sin Stocks to Buy in 2019

Although they may get a bad reputation from certain groups, "sin stocks" offer investors an incredible pathway to profits.

Companies in the tobacco, alcohol, gambling, and military industries simply behave different from most stocks. And there is plenty of academic research proving how uncorrelated these stocks are with the rest of the market.

But this lack of correlation is exactly what we're looking for because it provides the opportunity for above-market returns.

Our goal is to make you the most money possible, plain and simple. So, we put the power of our trusty VQScore™ system to the test this week and identified the top three sin stocks to buy in 2019. You'll recognize some of the names - and you'll definitely love the upside...

CBS Rejected a Marijuana Super Bowl Ad, but One Company Will Still Be in the Stadium

Why "Mellow Marijuana" Has CEOs Quaking in Their Boots

Tobacco companies know their traditional market is declining rapidly and they must find aggressive sources of growth.

We saw this play out when Altria Group Inc. announced its intent to invest $1.8 billion in Canadian cannabis company Cronos Group Inc. And that $1.8 billion was just a start.
Altria stands prepared to toss in another $1.1 billion if everything goes as planned. (Given the excellent leadership at Cronos, it will.)

Elsewhere, alcoholic beverage companies Molson Coors Canada and giant Constellation Brands Inc. have also both committed to cannabis – the latter making a $4 billion commitment to cannabis cultivation behemoth Canopy Growth Corp. Sales growth for alcohol is way down, and these companies are all too cognizant of the fact that cannabis legalization threatens their sales even more.

And based on some brand-new data that my team at the Institute just reviewed, these industry players have even more reason to pour truckloads of cash into cannabis companies.

Here's what's causing the panic...

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 100 points on Tuesday after the White House issued a clarification on the short-term economic truce between the United States and China.

Yesterday, the Trump Administration appointed veteran trade negotiator Robert Lighthizer to headline future trade negotiations with China - a notorious Chinese hardliner who analysts believe may undermine additional progress with the Chinese.
