It looks like partial shares are offered. I just wish they gave a discount on shares because some other companies to that.

So what are the benefits compared to buying it on the open market?
By no means not the only one but Stash lets you buy partial shares as well. I think this is the same one I saw on Mad Money or Halftime Report. They had a good story to tell.
One key might be dividend payments and if you have to own a full share to receive dividends or participate in a DRIP.
Of course everyone's finance and debt situation is different.

$10 a week is the minimum we are allowed to put in. There appears to be no benefits besides convenience and saving some money on fees which is frankly, very disappointing. When I joined the company we were told we would get a share every year. Those days are over and this Direct Stock Purchase Program has replaced it. Luckily I’ve been at the company a couple years and have a couple shares vesting in May.
That being said, $10 a week wouldn’t kill me and I don’t plan on leaving any time soon. Who knows, maybe it would add up faster than I think especially if I elect to increase my weekly contribution at some point. It’s something for me to think about.

Look carefully at fees. Over the years, I've paid more than I should when DRiP investing within various plans. In some cases, it's actually cheaper to open an Ameritrade or etrade account and purchase 10 shares and reinvest dividends. Some plans are criminal.
I like your confidence. Wish I shared in it more. haha
I can afford to be. I bought into CGC early.....then bought and sold when it bobbed up and down. I'm waaaay up on CGC.....so, it helps me to be a little reckless. I still think that CGC is one of the major players for the sweepstakes. Constellation has backed them with so much cash....and CGC is well positioned for the US/world markets in a variety of ways. I think that the price will stabilize.......and go back up to a degree once a CEO is announced and confidence restored.
Though, completely understand that I'm casting a wide net with the marijuana industry. ACB, CGC, IIPR, SMG, HEXO, CWB....and potentially TLRY. And I'm thinking long term......it'll be a few yrs before the US legalizes and the world markets take off.
.......not to mention that 95% of my portfolio is much more stable funds, markets, bonds, stocks, etc. Honestly, this is where I make most of the money. Playing the pot field is fun......and it does have the "what if" factor.....but I'm not counting on it being my future.
Added more JNJ today and could see myself buying this for a while during the election cycle. The health insurance rhetoric, the aging of boomers and the climate issues aren't going away any time soon.
Agreed. These issues are not going away. The climate change issue may worsen.
This is an IRA bet for us basically.
Wonder what could possibly be a play on allergies? I never had this problem until recently. I hear so many people saying the same thing when getting older.
True. After living in Texas over 24 years, I'm now in the category of allergy sufferer. Damn cedar trees.
I'll check into that one.
Just sold half my NWL position for an 18% gain. That issue required some patience.
Life is good.

Just when the talking heads were saying the semi's were dead, a couple of mine are nearing 52 week highs.

Great day today but my pot stocks are still suffering although much smaller positions as well.
ACB and IIPR

I got allergies in my 40s, had several sinus infections, finally tested for allergies and was positive for dust and mold. Injections weekly have literally ended the infections, highly recommend...some ENTs only require monthly injections, I understand.
Indeed, only have a few shares left of IIPR, need legalization in the US before I get excited again, too much competition.
My ENT has me on two different prescription nasal sprays, nothing new under the sun investing wise.
Fluticasone is the most widely prescribed allergy ingredient. It's also the active ingredient in Flonase but I bought the Kroger equivalent a month ago so apparently there is no patent for GSK. The newer allergy medicines are perhaps still in trials.
Exactly, my second prescription is Azelastine spray made by Apotex Corp, a private company.
LOLOLOLOL, are you still having that beam in your eye problem, or can you not read streaming stock prices? CGC ended today at $27.23, you must have mistaken it for your stock pick, CMP, Can’t Make Profits corporation. I sold out in July at mid $40s, my only cannabis stock I’ve held after considerable profit in it is 50 sh of IIPR. I didn’t hold the other stocks more than a few weeks, too many Canadian companies, I’m not hung up on cannabis stocks. I doubt you have the stomach to own stock.
Good call on CGC.
It closed at $27.83 yesterday. It was $44.54 when you posted this nonsense.
Notice that I only put $50 on SRUTF saying that it was a high risk play. Oops, it's currently a few dozen $ down. Oooooh, how will I live with that?
Oh, hey, I know how I'll live with that. Even with the current decline of the pot stocks, I'm still thousands of dollars up on pot stocks because I bought and sold during the ebb/flow.
NOT TO MENTION THAT THE PLAY ON POT IS LONG TERM. Who gives a crap what happens in the last several months? What matters is what happens over the next 5-10+ yrs.
Also, quit being such a jerk with all these posts trying to put down others. There's not a single person in this thread that is putting all their eggs into pot stocks. By far the largest portion of my portfolio is in things like FSCSX....balanced with some more risk adverse picks.
Any fool can tell he averaged into that stock at a much lower cost than you posted. Crawl back under the bed and suck your thumb.
NWL just popped above 18 and I sold remaining 207 shares. There's another $92 dividend still out there and .631 shares which should pay tonight.
I earned $1,300 total on that one.

Dumped it long ago, what a fun hobby you have...why, you could be working or something. Here’s one you can watch for me, bought MCFT at $15.89 a week ago, eps released early Th morning, laugh at me if I lose money when I quickly sell it. Others I bought, ADBE at $179.42, CYBR at $70.71, IAC at $212.27, AMZN at $1,650.28, RACE at $137.40. A couple of the guys you are trying to ridicule are excellent, patient value investors. Carry on, you’re fun.[roll]
