I read a report this am saying to stay away from buying CGC until after they report earnings on Feb 14th.

Has anyone heard this?

Also, would it be a good idea to sell a portion off now, then buy back in?

Depends on how important that money is that you have invested in CGC, do you need access or have a better investment in mind? As for eps, it’s too young a company to worry right now about its eps, IMHO. We know it has a better chance of doing well in the future because of its product and the fact it’s backed by STZ...patience long term on that one unless something extremely bad happens.

I wasn’t worried necessarily. More asking a question for someone like me who is not as knowledgeable. Is this an opportunity to make money?

If you want profits, yes sell it now.

Let the bubble deflate and buy back in.
Yes, if I owned say 500 sh, I might sell 100, but since I only own 200 I’m going to hold it, ride it out on drops and as you said, buy more at perhaps $40. Just my take.

Always a tough call, Blue, the old “greed” vs fear problem we all face as investors. This morning I had to decide whether to sell half my GOOGL for a modest profit or hold going into after hours’ eps. I chose to sell, probably wrong, but I look for another 10-15% drop this year on tech stocks, buying opportunity on GOOGL and others.

GOOGL down after hours over spending worries, so I helped myself some selling half my holdings...now we need a crystal ball.

CRON got a big investment from MO ($1.8 billion) although as I recall, nothing approaching what STZ invested in CGC ($4 billion).

You talk to dead people? We’re trying to make a few bucks, bring something or go to Ignore.
Dude. I've made plenty of contributions in the past to this thread. Pull the stick out of your @ss and stop being a little b!tch.

Do tell, or should I scroll back to a time frame when TLRY broke down and fell hard?

Details! I love a good story!
Dayton, I couldn’t stand it any longer, got small positions in WDAY NOW & VEEV, dumped IDXX, ALSN, 1/2 my GOOGL, 1/4 my PYPL. I’m soon going to be King of high PE hot software companies if I’m not careful. I also bottom fed myself a small amount of an old favorite from the past, biopharm JAZZ.
An already rich relative who’s been mostly Cash told me he made $150K off 10 etfs since his lows in early December, so realizing that, he sold 90% of them today, anticipating a big drop this year. Damn.

I cant figure out the people who think they can time the market. Basically 90% seems a bit extreme to me although taking profits never hurt anyone.

My CGC trigger (for 1/2 my shares) went off at $50.10 on Monday. Good 35% profit before expenses......after making a 30-40% profit on it less than a yr ago. I hope it drops after the Feb 14 earnings report as expected....then I’ll buy back in.


Some rumors out there that NBEVs earnings report is going to be positive and cause an increase in price. I might strengthen my position before V-Day.

King of the Software----I like it!!!

I'm knocking on the door there with you! I think I may have more at the moment: VEEV, DATA, TWLO, ZS, AYX, SPLK, SHOP and probably should count TTD, although they're lumped in with Advertisers.

Semis (MU, AMD, STM, XLNX, TSM) and software---deja vu ( it's like my portfolio of the mid to late 1990's all over again)!!

He’s too tight and political to spend it on fun things! Speaking of inlaws, I helped a nephew late fall set up his first brokerage account at age 40...surprisingly, he got going with it quickly, great start, then a few spankings and I hadn’t heard much from him. Today he tells me he's up $2,000 in 3 days on a cloud platform stock, MDB, I had never heard of it, nor most of what he’s bought all along! After looking at it, I suggested he sell part of that hot potato with no earnings yet, let it come back to him to buy more.

When I saw your post the other night, I had so much I could have said, but not the time to write it all out. I've been under the gun of late, with more things to do than there is time to do them.

That MDB actually hit my radar screen within just the last few days as a possible short-term option swing trade (based on the price volume chart only; I have not researched the company). I didn't put it on my short list to investigate as a swing; only reason being that I've been crunched for time of late. There are just so many bases formed/proper setups, near breakouts and breakouts out there the past week or so that it's not possible for a one-man band to spend time on each one.

Looks like you made a good temporary move, hope they keep dropping in that sector, then buy buy buy.

Since companies like CGC (who is the largest horse in the race) isn't expected to really crack the hemp market to a significant degree until late 2019, I expect stocks to yo-yo for most of the yr.

As you might guess, I'm adding to DATA here in the 122's. Building a larger core position and shares to swing trade (I view the sell-off as an over reaction). Getting things in place to buy even more DATA should there being an additional markdown as the market in general backs-off/consolidates from the recent gains.

I don't know how you do it but thanks for sharing. Much appreciated.

Yeah I'm pretty much in no hurry to buy or add anything. Especially pot stocks but I have had a low limit order for ACB for $7 that might execute someday. Hard to say but it gets me a small position started if it happens. They're all taking a beating today.

One of those weeks, our hands tied until something is decided on shutdown extension and tariff talk extension...welp, hang in there, accumulate on drops!

Sure seems that way with the momentum gone. Yet the algos could possibly reverse course on the way down if the S&P 500 stays below the 200-day moving average. We haven't eclipsed that threshold since early December as the market seems infatuated with these imaginary barriers.

Analysts are predicting a $0.13 drop for CGC following the quarter release on the 14th. How can analysts make predictions like this and how accurate are they?

In future eps or a 13% stock price drop? I’m hoping for a price drop to $40 or below to buy more. Supposedly, they ask the right questions in advance of making those projections...sometimes, they are right.:)

ACB fell exactly to my limit price, TD executed the order then it lifted slightly but is down .04 after hours. We'll see how it goes and decide @ what price I need to buy more.
