7 Canadian Cannabis Stocks that Could Soar

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Analysis originally distributed on January 24, 2018 By: Michael Vodicka of Cannabis Stock Trades

There are fewer things that can send a stock soaring like a buyout. And right now - I see a wave of buyouts ready to pop off in the cannabis sector - and I want to show you how you can profit.

When one company buys another company - shares of the company being bought usually surge higher.

Let me give you a recent example.

On January 18, Celgene Corp. (CELG) announced it would buy Juno Therapeutics (JUNO), a promising young biotech for $85 per share - a 91% premium to its share price at the time of the announcement.

That sent shares of JUNO soaring 91% in just seven days - giving JUNO shareholders a big gain in a very short amount of time.

Today - I see a big wave of buyouts coming down the pike in the cannabis sector and I believe it is creating another awesome opportunity for big profits. Continue reading "7 Canadian Cannabis Stocks that Could Soar" →

Silver Futures

Silver futures in the March contract settled last Friday in New York at 17.03 an ounce while currently trading at 17.35 up about $0.30 for the trading week and traded as high as 17.70 in yesterday's trade before selling off. Profit-taking was to blame as that was a four-month high. I have been recommending a bullish position from around the 17.50 level and if you took that trade continue to place the stop loss under the two-week low standing at 16.73 as the chart structure will not improve for another seven trading days. You're going to have to accept the monetary risk as the volatility certainly has come back, which is a terrific thing to see in my opinion. The U.S. dollar has hit a three year low this week continuing its bearing trend which is helping support the precious metals as gold prices were also higher this week. Continue to play this to the upside, and if you did not take the original trade, I'm still recommending it at today's price level as the risk is about $750 per mini contract plus slippage & commission. Silver prices are trading above their 20 and 100-day moving average as the trend as positive as I am bullish all commodity sectors including the stock market as my only bearish recommendation is in the bond market as 2018 could see terrific trends to the upside.

Gold Futures

Gold futures settled last Friday in New York at 1,334 an ounce while currently trading at 1,334 unchanged for the trading week as the volatility certainly has increased as gold prices have rallied about $100 from their December 12th low of 1,238 as this remains in a bullish trend. I do not have any recommendations in the precious metals, but if you are long a futures contract, I would place the stop loss under the two-week low at 1,308 as the chart structure will also improve in next week's trade. The main reason for the recent rally is the fact that the U.S. dollar has hit a three year low which is definitely a fundamental bullish indicator towards gold and the precious metals as a whole. The next major level of resistance is the September 8th high of 1,365. I think prices will try to touch that level in the coming weeks ahead as it looks to me that the dollar will continue its bearish trend, therefore, supporting gold despite the fact that the U.S. stock market seems to hit an all-time high every day which used to be negative towards gold. But 2018 is a different story as the commodity markets will start to catch up to the high stock prices in my opinion as the U.S economy is growing for the 1st time in nearly ten years. Gold futures are trading above their 20 and 100-day moving average as clearly the trend is higher, but I will look at other markets with a better risk/reward scenario at present.

Gold Futures

Gold futures in the February contract settled last Friday in New York at 1,322 an ounce while currently trading at 1,333 up about $11 for the trading week right near a four-month high. I'm currently not involved in any of the precious metals as they have rebounded sharply over the last month. The U.S. dollar has now hit a four-month low in today's trade continuing its bearish trend which has supported gold and the precious metals recently, but the chart structure is poor coupled with the fact that we are in overbought territory. I will be patient & wait for a better chart pattern to develop before entering into a trade. Gold prices are trading above their 20 and 100-day moving average as the trend is higher as we now look to retest the September 8th high around 1,365 in my opinion. This market has rallied substantially from the recent low, that was hit on December 12th at 1,238 as we have now rallied nearly $100 in a blink of an eye despite the fact that U.S. stock market hits all-time highs every day, but this rally is based on a weak U.S. Dollar. Gold is also riding the coattails of the energy market which is right at a three-year high in crude oil as both of these are considered inflationary commodities as the U.S. economy and worldwide economies are improving significantly as that should bolster commodity prices across the board in 2018.
