Marijuana High

A day hardly goes by anymore that I don’t get a hyped-up email pushing marijuana stocks. I know that marijuana stocks have made some explosive price moves in the past, but the claims in some of the things I’m getting are simply preposterous.

Here’s a direct quote from one that came in yesterday: “$100 Explodes Into $1,245,558 With Just TWO Penny Pot Stocks!” The writer says “given the right timing and a bit of luck here’s exactly how you could’ve done it:

On November 14, 2017, you could’ve grabbed 3,333 shares of Cannabis Strategic Ventures, (NUGS), at $0.03 a share, and you could’ve sold them on January 3, 2018 for $19,405. Then you pocket the $100 and use the $19,305 profit on January 9, 2018 to snag shares of Big Time Holdings Inc., (BTHI), for $0.0155. On March 23, 2018, BTHI traded for $1.00 per share, and your stake was worth $1,245,558.”

Unbelievable? Yes, it is, but if you read through the blizzard of hype you’ll see that the writer also says, “I would never actually recommend attempting this method,” but used it to show you the power behind the plays he targets. Incidentally, the two stocks cited above are not in the VectorVest database…they have not published the required financial data. A subscription to the service usually costs $3,000, but you can get a lifetime subscription plus a myriad of other stuff for only $2,000.
