6 Cannabis Stocks Set to Surge from California's Rec Market

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Analysis originally distributed on December 13, 2017 By: Michael Vodicka of Cannabis Stock Trades

Cannabis stocks have a huge event directly on the horizon. In fact, it's the most important event of the last 12 months and I expect it to send a certain group of cannabis stocks soaring.

On January 1 California will become the latest - and largest US state - to legalize recreational cannabis.

This is easily the most important event in the cannabis sector in the last 12 months. And I expect it to be a huge catalyst for cannabis stocks for two reasons.

1. Billions In New Sales:

California is already the largest cannabis market in the world - by a long shot. Its legal and illegal cannabis market did around $8 billion in sales in 2016 - with 75% of that from illegal sales. Recreational is expected to quickly chip into illegal sales and grow into a $4 billion annual market within a few years, from basically $0 today. That is a potential revenue and profit windfall for cannabis companies ready to capitalize. I expect this to be a strong tailwind for US cannabis stocks in general and particularly ones operating in California's high -growth market.

Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the January contract settled last Friday in New York at 57.36 a barrel while currently trading at 57.16 unchanged for the trading week as we enter the holiday markets which experience low volatility. I'm not involved in this market, and I had a bullish recommendation over the last couple months getting stopped out when prices hit the 2-week low. I am now sitting on the sidelines waiting for another trend to develop, but for the bullish momentum to continue we have to break the November 24th high of 59.05 and for the bearish momentum to continue we have to break the December 7th low of 55.82. Crude oil prices are trading right at their 20-day but far above their 100-day moving average as we still are in a longer-term bullish trend with strong worldwide demand for crude oil and the energy sector as a whole continues to keep prices near contract highs. Volatility in crude oil will certainly expand once 2018 comes about and I see sideways action for the rest of 2017. However, with worldwide economies improving, especially in the United States as the tax cuts certainly could spur demand next year, I think we could be probably trade in the $70 range at this time in 2018.

Stock Market Marches Higher

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere. All three of the major indexes are marching along to record highs and looking to close the week out at record highs. This move higher is primarily due to Tax Reform, which is expected to be delivered by the GOP this afternoon.

Once delivered the Republican leaders hope to hold a vote on the legislation in the full House and Senate next week. President Donald Trump touted a tax cut regularly during his campaign and wanted an approved bill on his desk for his signature before Christmas.

It would be Trump's first major legislative victory since taking office in January.

MarketClub's Mid-day Market Report

Bitcoin is close to another all-time high of almost $18,000 on the Bitstamp exchange on Friday, up 9% on the day, even as warnings grow over the risks of investing in the highly volatile and speculative instrument. This record push is partly due to the CME futures that are going to start trading on Sunday, which should see significant trading vs. the lighter volume that the CBOE saw last week.

Key levels to watch next week:
S&P 500 (CME:SP500): 2,598.87
Dow (INDEX:DJI): 23,545.02
NASDAQ (NASDAQ:COMP): 6,734.13
Gold (NYMEX:GC.G18.E): 1,242.30
Crude Oil (NYMEX:CL.F18.E): 57.83
U.S. Dollar (NYBOT:DX.H18.E): 92.13
Bitcoin (CME:BRTI): 8,889.74

Every Success,

Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the January contract settled last Friday in New York at 58.36 a barrel while currently trading at 57.27 down about $1 for the week. I was recommending a bullish position from around the 53.15 level getting stopped out earlier in the week around 56.20 as prices hit a two week low as that is my exit strategy if I have a bullish position. Crude oil prices are still trading right at their 20-day but above their 100-day moving average as the trend is mixed to higher in my opinion as heating oil and unleaded gas are both ending the week sharply higher as strong demand continues to push prices near contract highs. The commodity markets, in general, this week saw some significant selling to the downside including crude oil over the last couple of days, and I think a lot of this is just year-end selling as my only trade recommendation at the current time is a bullish position in cotton as many trends are mixed. However, I do believe when we enter 2018 bullish trends across the board will come back as the U.S. economy certainly is improving. Volatility in crude oil has started to accelerate which is not surprising in my opinion, and I think volatility in all of the commodities is going to expand significantly next year as that has been the problem in 2017. We experienced have low volatility across the board including the stock market despite the fact that we are at all-time highs so sit on the sidelines & let's wait for another trend & the risk/reward to become in your favor once again as I still think higher prices are ahead.
