Law 2
Never put too Much Trust in Friends, Learn how to use Enemies
Be wary of friends-they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy. They also become spoiled and tyrannical. But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove. In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them.
lomh - that's awesome!
favorite line: "If you have no enemies, find a way to make them."
glad I'm not in any business that I need to have an enemy. ;)

ps: love the profile pic, btw.

I've been frustrated for a while now being in a few stocks that are sucking MAJORDONG.......like ZIGGYANDMAJORTOM.:confused: The market is pissing me off staying at very elevated levels while taking my holdings out to the woodshed.:mad:
grabbed some onvo @3.55 today, almost at bottom of a take-down and THAT made me happy while the green stocks suck the life out of my portfolio.Quote:

g'day guys. A pal just put me on to a small cap newsletter service in which I saw some very interesting reading of familiar equities discussed here on this forum. For example, just yesterday was a narrative on DDD, differing opinions on whether to short or invest.
Today is this suggestioni for alternatives to the medical marijuana stocks (specifically MJNA and CBIS are mentioned)..............check this out:

PS Denco, we are fast approaching Sunday's showdown between my Heat and your Spurs. We're still on track for San Antonio to be number 30 in the string of victims (of the winning streak). Should be a good game.
How goes it SLY. I am not looking forward to this week for my Spur's or this and next for that matter. We have a BEAR of a schedule over the next few games. Tonight we face DEVNER that is also on a huge run followed by The Clippers EDIT - Friday, then your Heat on Sunday, Memphis on the road Monday and then Orlando on Wednesday and finally OKC Thursday. We better play better than we have been or we could have a pretty bad stretch over the next 2 weeks.:scared:.....:popcorn:
Hillbilly, very glad to read your posting. I sure wish you would visit us more, I really miss reading your posts everyday. A day without Hillbilly's brilliant sarcasm, is like a day without sunshine. I hope all s great with you.
Midas, you cracked me up!
Thats some high praise. I want to see this brilliance.Quote:

If this has already been discussed, I apologize -- I have only recently begun to think about the green play.
Charles, I have no clue as to how to respond directly to your question. I do however, like your reference to Philip Morris since I own a boatload of that one. Anything to help pump PM up will be appreciated. Thanks. :money:Quote:

Its a crop so, you have to ask yourself, who best positioned to grow it? It can be rolled and packaged so, who has the machinery to do that?
If it is treated more like medication than cigarettes, wouldn't big pharma get into the mix?
My point in general is, there is a lot of money to be made in the industry so, shouldn't big business already be planning for this behind closed doors?
Maybe big business buys out the little guys if/when things become mainstream 100% legal? Just thinking out loud.
Charles,
Interesting you bring that up. I also have been wondering who will ultimately make cash with this industry? I believe those the have the advantage would be pharmaceutical, alcohol, tobacco to name a few.
Charles, I do think the possibility of marijuana becoming legal is getting the attention of big business. Some of the big boys are surly looking at this as a great opportunity, while others might feel they have reason to be concerned. So many different products can be made from this plant. Food, fabric (stronger than cotton), paper, oil, plastic (thats not plastic) and beer. It's going to be fun to watch it all unfold. Oh yeah, you can even smoke it. I would like to think that big tobacco will keep their hands off. Not good for the image of pot. ......... Their is one way I could see big tobacco taking over. If tobacco becomes illegal.......... peace.
One thing to remember... for large companies like RJR and others to get into the marijuana business, they would have to change the laws not only at the state level but the federal level too. What's going on with the federal marijuana law? It's still illegal across all 50 states at the fed level, right?
