No Name, Buy high, sell low?

[Image]( EMAIL}/redirect (Advertisement) Posted on Thursday, December 19th, 2019 By Jeff and Jason on Raging Bull Invest in bitcoin and weed they (*) said. What's the worst that could happen, they said? 2019 will be remembered as the year the weed stock bubble burst. And that means one thing: straight edge investors who shorted the sticky-icky cleaned up. Pot stock bears have cleared $993M YTD, as short exposure in the sector [grew by $843M]( on the year. Those who viewed the pot sector’s 2018 glow up as a fluke and put their money where their mouth is certainly benefited as companies have missed earnings expectations and struggled to break through the red tape of regulation. Let's go to the tape, shall we? YTD, Cronos' stock is down 36%, Pyxus is down 48%, and Tilray is down 75%. Define "industry leaders." Hence why devil's lettuce shares are some of the most expensive to short. The average borrowing fee is 31% for the 20 most shorted companies in the industry, with Cronos Group leading the charge at 34.92%.

Yesterday, the most well-known cryptocurrency [dropped below $7k]( for the first time since November, reaching it’s lowest point since May. The hottest alternative investment since Beanie Babies had its shares of ups and downs in 2019. The e-currency hit a high of $12.6k back in July before gradually declining toward year-end. This, of course, pales in comparison to the free fall bitcoin endured from January to February of 2018 when it plummeted and mind-boggling 65%. So it's got that going for it. The bottom line... Past performance may not be indicative of future results, but history certainly has a tendency of repeating itself... Case in point: the dot-com crash of 2000, the housing crash of 2008, the bitcoin crash of 2018... and now the pot stock crash of 2019. * Your uncle who watched CNBC one time EMAIL}/redirect (Advertisement) ☑️ Deuces. For just the third time in the history of the United States of America, a President has been [impeached]( by the House. The House, which voted mostly along party lines, officially put POTUS on notice for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. But there’s a long way to go before El Pres could potentially be evicted from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. There will be a trial in the Senate that requires two-thirds of the chamber’s vote to remove Donny Politics from office. It’s probably worth noting that Republicans hold a 53-47 majority. It appears that investors have taken a “wait and see” approach to the proceedings as markets were [little moved]( during yesterday’s marathon debate in the House. ☑️ Cigs inside. Cigna is [pulling the plug]( on its non-health insurance products. It announced that it plans to sell its life and disability insurance biz to New York Life for $6.3B. This will, of course, allow it to focus on its core business (health insurance) but also help fund its reckless spending. Cigna bought pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts for $67B last year. Plus one of its largest competitors, Aetna sold off its non-health LOB last year. If Aetna jumped off a bridge, would you do it too, Cigna? ☑️ Fun police. Zuck is turning up the suck on Facebook and Instagram, officially [banning]( influencers from promoting the three favorite things of any guy named Kyle: vaping related items, tobacco products, and weapons. The ‘book and the ‘gram had already outlawed advertisements featuring these products, but a gray area remained, the “branded content” feature which allowed brands to promote influencer posts. That is until today. The changes will take effect in the next few weeks. The good news? You can still buy all of this sh*t on the FB Marketplace. ☑️ Funding secured. Elon Musk has this to say to the Shortseller Enrichment Commission: suck on deez. You see, shares of Tesla [hit their all-time high]( after rising 4% yesterday. Tesla’s stock has climbed more than 60% this quarter following a surprise Q3 beat. Tesla has been firing on all cylinders with a new Gigafactory in China ramping up and the announcement of an assembly plant in Germany. Plus Teslas offer attractive ranges and price points compared to the competition. Let’s just forget about that whole Cybertruck fiasco, shall we?
