And I said immediate term, not intermediate. I'm talking about over the next year or two. |

I would not invest in any individual stocks. Not unless you are a damn good stock picker and most people are not. This is going back to a stock pickers' market. Therefore, I would A) Invest in mutual funds B) Not have all my money in stocks If you are talking about a 7-10 year time frame I would piece in stocks up to around 60-70% depending on your age. I would spread that around in a SP500 fund, a tech fund, euro fund, asian fund and latin american fund The rest I would just sit in cash as rates are going up and therefore bonds will be taking it on the chin over the next couple of years. |

Pay off your sprayer? Do you have any land that I'd have the only lien on? And are there any Pheasants there? And then you'd have to agree to take care of my birddogs.

The current Missouri state-wide survey by the Sec. of State- shows that Missouri residents favor passing Medical MJ 79%.
You would think our stupid politicians in this state would read their own, paid surveys and get off their asses. It would be a huge boon for this state. So a 100k investment could yield 10 mil over a 5 year span if you were to get in on the ground floor and wait for legislation to crawl through and eventually pass. |

That’s a pretty good take. I haven’t paid attention, are they talking about raising interest significantly? It’s been a couple years since I looked but it was going to take a pretty significant interest increase for bonds to yield much. Quote:
There actually are pheasants here. Last couple years have been kind to them. The cocks are all out trying to get laid so I’ve seen a bunch of them. Last edited by Buehler445; 04-13-2018 at 12:25 PM.. Reason: Forgot a reply. |

I guess there's no "stock pickers" on CP. Oh well.

If you're saving it for retirement, I'm the boring one and would just put it into some index funds. Target date if you don't want to mess with it at all, some combination of U.S. stocks, international stocks, and bonds if you want a little more control.

Yes, it was a pretty fishy deal- Nonprofit?- what a joke- they are making a ton of profits but I guess calling yourself a wellness clinic or whatever makes it like they are doing Gods work. So the State of Missouri is Not making any tax money on a growing industry? Who was the idiot who came up with this program? Probably the same one that received "campaign" donations. Our corrupt politicians in this state need to be voted out. Such a fraud how these companies somehow had the inside track to being granted licenses. Makes you wonder how many received bribes during the approval process. They did all of this behind closed doors. The first step would be to file a class action suit since this type of business licensing practice prohibits free trade. Hemp is used for clothing and many other products- there is nothing illegal about it. CBD is not illegal and should not have unfair licensing practices that only favor two companies holding back other businesses. |

I actually had a neighbor who grew hemp on a farm next to me years ago, so I was interested in it from multiple angles. Even have access to an empty warehouse that I can't figure out what to do with. |

So now that they have done it once and got away with such a sham- are they going to do it again for an even bigger payday when MJ becomes legal? Are these same two companies going to get the entire MJ contract at the expense of every other hard-working farmer in Missouri? Complete fraud. |

You would probably end up with a much better return since you would be so diversified.
