I only have my original CGC investment gains sitting around in weed

[riander5]

How much of your guys portfolios do you have in weed?

Id like to invest more but im also worried about its volatility.

Dont want to look back in 2-3 years at this post and hate my current self for not taking the risk!

Why would you WANT to take on risk? You want to maximize your returns while taking on as little risk as possible. Long story short, max 2.5 to 5% on a gamble like that.

There is also increasing risk to increase return and maximizing that formula at every given risk level.

I'm in ACB, Weed and BLO. BLO is getting killed lately

update on gold. it has managed to find its way back above 1232, initially it looked like a head fake and sure enough it made a lower low, but none of the neckline break down was able to hold price down for further weakness, price has not not only reclosed back above the previous 2 neckline breakdowns but now has turned up above the 2 orange trendline breaks to the upside.

I have to say, as long as price holds above the 200EMA above 1225. gold is in bullish mode. a higher high coming. with price clearly above 1220, next target would be the 50% and 61% retracement of the 1375-1123 down move at 1249 and 1279

fcx looking pretty weak, reclosed back under the alimportant neckline. my stop is within striking distance. if I get taken out, I will gladly just wait this one out until I either see 12s or a breakout above 16.56. still holding 2 position in the low 13s that I will not touch

With that Rex any advice on miner? JNUG has been fairly reserved for the past week. Consider a buy at the current levels?

[SilverRex]

with GG and ABX beating earnings, they are both moving/breaking out. at this rate they will soon test their 52 week highs.

to me gold looks bullish right at this moment especially moving along side a rising stock market lately. shows underlying strength.

if one has no position, you can certainly enter at any price and watch gold at 1231 and 1225 are my two must hold zones

I was looking at BLO then I street viewed their headquarters address from their website.

Currently holding APH and will let this one ride. Looking at purchasing TBP as a higher risk one. I sold out of WEED before their earning came out the other day.

Earnings beat expectations. Stock goes down. Seems about normal.

Maybe its related to the news from Suncor regarding the delays on Fort Hills and increased costs.

might be putting some money down for ACB in preparation of their earning result next Thursday.

[littledan]

I'm in APH, ACB, and SL.

I have about 50 % of my portfolio in these green stocks. yes, super high risk, however, when was the last time an industry was opened up like this? (note that my portfolio is really small at ~$25k, &I have a defined pension plan for security)

If ACB can build out aurora sky, they are looking at $500MM per year in earnings if costs and sale prices remain close to what they are now.
