If you've got exposure to cannabis or bitcoin - two of the hottest growth stories on the planet these days - you're probably in awe over the performance of both in recent days. But, today's edition has got nothing to do with bitcoin even though it continues to run like a rocket ship.

Sure, bitcoin has been making some investors a mint, but it's the real legitimacy of the growing cannabis space that is catching fire, and for very good reason now. With Canada set to become the first advanced industrialized nation to legalize and regulate marijuana from production to consumption by next July, that same topic is starting to heat up again here in our own backyard - with States like California allowing full recreational use starting January 1st of the New Year. 

I think it goes without saying the entire cannabis space is among the hottest sectors of the markets right now, and because of that, today's edition is focused strictly on a stock we brought to your attention around this same time last year - only this time we're bringing it to your attention about 275% higher than the last time we did. But, there's clearly some good reasons why we like it just as much now though, as we did back then.

I haven't seen anything like this since the Dot Com Boom leading up to the inevitable crash of 2000. I'm referring to the major averages ability to just keep going higher and higher without any sort of major selloff along the way. And, who's to say there's going to be an inevitable crash anytime soon?

As long as earnings keep going higher and the economy continues to grow at least at a snail's pace, which is what it's been doing for years now, there's not much out there these days to suggest this eight year bull markets is going to throw in the towel anytime soon.

Even small caps have finally decided to participate with the Russell 2000 picking it up lately. Look at the move the Russell has made over the last several days. If that's not picking it up, then I have no idea what is. Attribute it to tax reform, or whatever you want, but it is what it is - small caps are roaring again.

Good Hump day everybody. The markets have been somewhat under siege over the last week or so now following new all-time highs. What's odd about the way they're behaving though is just about every day, them open lower and then finish the day higher than where they opened.

Look at this chart of the S&P 500. See what I'm talking about? It seems as if sellers come in early, and buyers come in late. It's already happening today too. But, the end result has the benchmark index tracking stocks much lower than where it was over a week ago. Not the most comforting trading pattern if you ask me.
