I Love to Trade These Lucrative Pot Stocks

In the past six months, we've already seen at least 10 cannabis IPOs, with as many as 42 private cannabis companies slated to go public by the end of the year.

All in all, you're looking at an industry that could easily reach a $50 billion milestone by Jan. 1, 2020 – and limitless opportunities to take your piece of the pie.

Of course, if you use the simple trading techniques we talk about all the time, your profits should easily top anything seen by the buy-and-hold crowd.

o today, I'm going to show you the best five high-flying cannabis plays I'm eyeing right now...

Here's What You Need to Know About Marijuana Mergers

We've seen time and again how "takeover targets" provide the opportunity for truly explosive gains. The right company finds the right buyer, and investors gleefully strap in for a virtually instantaneous double- or triple-digit ride.

Dealmaking in general has done some "exploding" of its own over the past few years. 2018 broke records, with some $3.3 trillion worth of dried ink in place by September. That figure was bolstered by the advent of so-called "megadeals" worth more than $5 billion.

Companies have finally figured out the mother of all corporate no-brainers: If you can't beat 'em… buy 'em.

They've realized there's no point in throwing millions (or billions) of your – scratch that, your shareholders' – dollars at a thorny R&D, tech, or PR problem when you can just ride out, find some smaller company that's already done the work, and… acquire, acquire, acquire.

So, when we come across a frenzy of M&A activity in an already rapidly growing, high-profit sector like legal cannabis, it pays to stop and take a good hard look at what's happening. 

Let's take a look at how powerful a moneymaker marijuana deals could be next year...

Dow Jones Industrial Average Today Continues Historic December Slump as Shutdown Looms

The Dow Jones Industrial Average continues to bleed red as investors pour out of stocks and flock to bonds in the wake of the Federal Reserve's decision to hike interest rates this week.

The Dow hit a 14-month low after shedding another 500 points on Thursday.

This morning, Dow Futures were off another 60 points in premarket hours.

The threat of a U.S. government shutdown is only exacerbating investor fears as well.

As Pot Stocks Reach Record Highs, Here's What's Coming Next

For pot stock investors, the first half of 2018 stank.

It was choppy – to say the least – thanks in no small part to meddling from U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

But I kept telling you to keep the faith – that a number of catalysts were lining up that would once again send legal marijuana stocks into the stratosphere.

I was right – and those of you who listened can feel a bit smug.

While other investors are scrambling to get back into legal cannabis, you're watching your holdings grow… and grow.

We can date cannabis' latest surge to Aug. 15. That was the day Constellation Brands Inc., the beverage giant behind Corona beer and Robert Mondavi wines, announced its plan to spend $3.8 billion to increase its stake in Canopy Growth Corp. to 38%.

In other words, a mainstream corporation had weighed the risks – and marched forward with a plan to dive into the marijuana industry… to the tune of billions of dollars.

The news sent marijuana stocks soaring.

This one stat shows it all: The bellwether North American Marijuana Index has climbed more than 175% since lows reached on Sept. 7, 2017.

And this is just the start…

In today's report, I'll tell you why that's so.

Plus, I'll reveal the latest Big Alcohol company to come sniffing around the cannabis industry.

And I'll help you find four pot stocks with triple-digit potential to buy now.

Before the next catalyst hits.
