The year is 1848. Hundreds of thousands of ambitious Americans are heading west to cash in on the California gold rush.

Some of these early speculators became rich. But many went bust.

A pick and shovel play means investing in companies that sell supplies and equipment to an entire industry.

For example, tractor maker Deere & Co. (NYSE:DE) is a pick and shovel play on the global agriculture industry.

Pick and shovel plays happen all across the economy.

Including the cannabis industry. Continue reading "This Cannabis "Pick and Shovel Play" Grew Revenue 130% In 2016" →

Cannabis will be regulated and taxed but openly available to adults with a valid ID or doctors prescription.

In the short run, the good new out of Canada news gave cannabis stocks a much needed shot in the arm. Continue reading "Canada To Legalize Cannabis By July 2018" →
