    When Science Meets Marijuana, Massive Profits Follow

    By , Director of Cannabis Investing Research, Money Morning -

    Just last week, I spent two days at the 2019 Cannabis Science Conference East here in my hometown of Baltimore, Md.

    The operative word there is "science," and let me tell you, there is a lot of science driving the cannabis market forward that will lead to a ton of profit opportunities.

    We're mapping genomes, studying plant fertilization, and learning how to prescribe cannabis to treat ailments as quickly and effectively as possible.

    Over the course of two days, there were over 60 presentations covering topics ranging from equipment and methods to analyze cannabis plants, extracts, and cannabinoids; techniques to optimize cultivation; and the latest developments in medical cannabis research.

    The companies most adept at deploying the latest science has to offer will enjoy much higher profit margins than those slow to adapt.

    But the science goes far beyond the field or greenhouse.

    And where it starts and just how far it goes says a lot about how to best play the booming cannabis industry and get closer to life-changing wealth...

The FANGs Are Just One Catalyst in the Next Run-Up

By , Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report • @kfgtotalwealth -

Back in December, many investors were in a rush to sell their FANG stocks when the markets fell to new lows - and they're probably kicking themselves right about now.

In fact, if they'd listened to Keith and stayed in or even bought more, they would probably be grinning from ear to ear.

Though markets seem range-bound currently, they won't last for long. Plus, no investor can afford what's coming next...

Let the Good Times Roll with This Must-Own Blue-Chip Pot Stock

By , Director of Cannabis Investing Research, Money Morning -

The high-flying cannabis sector is full of insurgent micro caps, mid caps with prospects running the gamut from poor to excellent, and an assortment of big caps with an appetite for acquisition, driving a lucrative, "full-speed ahead" consolidation trend.

Last week, I showed you exactly how to read these firms' earnings reports, to find the very best of everything the legal weed sector has on offer. (Of course, you could always click here and learn how to access our restricted research; let us do the legwork.)

But there's another, even bigger weight class in the business - one where it still pays to heed the traditional metrics, the "old school" rules of valuation...

Call them the "green blue chips," big companies with a presence outside the sector, but which boast management with the vision to see the truckloads of profits possible in cannabis.

I've done the research to pick one of the very best of these firms to recommend to you today: a big, rich player that's only going to get bigger and richer.

It'll do the same for you.

If there's only one cannabis company you own all the way through your retirement, THIS is it...

Limit Risk AND Capture Unlimited Growth Before Earnings Season Starts Friday

By , Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report • @kfgtotalwealth -

Apple stock

Investors are understandably nervous and justifiably skittish.

Earnings season starts Friday when two of the biggest "big banks" - JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) and Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE:WFC) - kick things off with a look at their most recent results. For the first time since Q2/2016, the narrative will shift from hypothetical, hard-to-quantify data - related to trade talks, U.S. economic data, and the E.U. - to real numbers.

Short-term volatility could be a real doozy, and unsuspecting investors may find themselves losing money hand over fist if conditions deteriorate as earnings season continues.

I don't want that to happen to you, obviously.

So let's talk about a quick, easy move you can make ahead of Friday's numbers that can limit or almost completely eliminate risk while still preserving the unlimited profit potential you deserve.

I Think This Wall Street Darling Is Due for a Tumble – Perfect!

The Difference Between Making $13 Million … or Losing It All

By , Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report • @kfgtotalwealth -

There's an old joke that's made its way around financial circles over the years and it's one of my favorites for two reasons: a) there's a little in all of us built into the punch line and b) it highlights one of the single most important, yet least understood profit generators there is.

It goes something like this:

An investment banker walks into a room where his cohorts are in a meeting. "I've got good news and bad news," he announces. "The bad news is, we've just lost $100 million. The good news is, it wasn't ours." An associate raises his hand. "What was the bad news again?"

It's humor, but there's more than a grain of truth to the story. Whether we're talking about brokers, bankers, or even your most trusted financial advisor, you cannot rely on anyone else to care about your money and keep it safe.

At the end of the day, the only thing standing between your portfolio and catastrophic loss is your own caution and proper risk management.

I know it's not the most exciting part of investing. It's certainly one of the least understood aspects of making money. But there's zero doubt in my mind it is the most important.

Position Sizing stands out above all others as the most powerful, and not just for cutting risk either, but for boosting your profits, too.

Consider this anecdote from noted trading psychologist Dr. Van Tharp:

"We've done many simulated games in which everyone gets the same trades. At the end of the simulation, 100 different people will have 100 different final equities. And after 50 trades, we've seen final equities that range from bankrupt to $13 million - yet everyone started with $100,000, and they all got the same trades. Position sizing and individual psychology were the only two factors involved - which shows just how important position sizing really is."

Here's how I recommend you start using it right now...

Forget Recession Worries; This Chart Shows Why Stocks Are Breaking Higher

Need to Know: Here Are the Critical Levels Stocks Must Hit and Hold

By , Capital Wave Strategist, Money Morning • @WallStreet_II -

Stocks have been going sideways since making an epic comeback from their Christmas crash, and it's got a lot of analysts worrying they've shot up too far, too fast.

Now whether the major market benchmark can break out of this turn depends on one thing: getting past resistance levels.

Shah's got the levels we need to be watching - and we won't be the only ones...

Here's When the Market Starts Powering Higher Again

By , Quantitative Specialist, Money Morning -

Why are stocks moving sideways?

It's the uncertainty... I'm sure of it.

There's been a switch in the leadership of the market over the last month. That is to say, different kinds of stocks are driving it higher or lower.

Small-cap, housing, and semiconductor stocks reigned supreme in February as they moved higher. But now, the market is being led by utilities, consumer staples, and real estate.

Did you catch that leadership list? Do you know what they have in common?

They are all defensive sectors - places investors go to hide it all away during (or before) a market correction.

The confident up and down moves the major indexes had been making are now turning into a rather wimpy game of tug-of-war. We saw an advance in the S&P 500 all the way up to 2,850... only to see a quick reversal as traders shot into the market to take profits.

That's a timid move that's put us in another technical battle with 2,800. Not great.

Another contributor to the lack of direction? No catalysts.

Think about it: A month ago we were still riding a wave of earnings results that helped pull additional monies into stocks. Daily "trade war" headlines provided a constant stream of fuel for the markets' fire, sending it higher and lower.

In short, there was a lot more to look at if you were trading.

So, is this a market that you walk away from?

Not at all! And I'll show you why...

The Right Way to Build a Multibillion-Dollar CBD Empire

By , Director of Cannabis Investing Research, Money Morning -

At the start of 2019, Greg predicted that this would be the "Year of CBD" - and boy, was he right!

Barely four months later, and big drugstore chains like CVS are carrying all kinds of CBD creams, sprays, and lotions.

The more market share and positive coverage we get, the better for our model portfolio.

But one thing we won't be doing is jumping at CBD gimmicks like this...

Here's the Hideous, Scary Truth About Yield Curve Inversions

By , Special Situation Strategist, Money Morning -

The Martians have landed in New Jersey! Chinese Army tanks are rolling in the Chicago Loop! California has fallen into the ocean! Giant robots have kidnapped the Statue of Liberty! D.C. is in flames!

The yield on 10-year Treasuries has fallen below the yield on three-month Treasuries!

We are doomed!

Enough already - yes, last week, the yield curve inverted.

So, the conventional thinking goes, we'll have a recession. Right? Maybe. When? Don't know. It could be a month or two; it could be almost two years from now.

The truth is, there has been a yield curve inversion before every recession - if you don't care how long it took for that recession to develop. The historical record shows the yield curve inverted a whopping 23 months before the economy slowed in the most recent recession.

So, a yield curve inversion heralds a recession in kinda the same way baseball's Opening Day "causes" the World Series, or that being born is a leading cause of death.

In other words, it's a bit of a stretch - and certainly nothing you'd want to make do-or-die investing decisions on.

There's a much better, much more profitable way...

The Biggest Danger to Your Profits at a Time Like This

By , Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report • @kfgtotalwealth -

Traders and investors are just now sticking their toes back into the water after being spooked by the inverted yield curve that developed late last week, warning of a possible recession.

This kicked off the selling, with many analysts on the Street advising watchers to sell and sell some more.

But we know better, and we can tell that there's very real risk in this situation.

Though it's not what you might think...
