Posted on by The INO.com Team

While Donald Trump's election has altered a number of aspects of the economy, investors cannot ignore economic trends that were in place before the election, says Joe McAlinden, founder of McAlinden Research Partners and former chief global strategist with Morgan Stanley Investment Management. In this interview with The Gold Report, he discusses those trends and how they may be changed by Trump's election, why he is bullish on gold and which sectors he expects to thrive in the Trump era.

Investing in real estate has been one of the best ways to get wealthy in the United States for the last 100 years.

In Forbes' 2016 list of the 400 richest people in America, real estate ranks as the sixth most common source of wealth.

This is just one more reason I am bullish on a new cannabis stock I like to call The Cannabis Landlord.

Innovative Industrial Properties (NYSE:IIPR) is a fresh face in the cannabis stock sector.

This undercover cannabis stock caught my attention for three reasons. Continue reading "This $64 Million Cannabis Landlord is Cashing Fat Rent Checks" →

Gold Futures

Gold futures in the April contract settled last Friday in New York at 1,196 an ounce while currently trading at 1,202 up about $6 for the trading week still hovering right near a 7 week high as I'm currently sitting on the sidelines as I'm involved in other precious metals that have also broken out. Gold prices are trading above their 20 day but still below their 100-day moving average having a nice rally in recent weeks despite the fact that the U.S dollar remains strong as I am bullish the commodity markets in general and at present I am recommending bullish positions in silver and copper as I don't want to be overloaded all in one sector as that is poor risk management in my opinion.

Dispensaries are staples of the cannabis industry.

This is where customers go to buy medical and recreational cannabis. Without these key players, there would be no retail outlet for cannabis consumers. After all, Wal-Mart isn’t carrying anyone’s favorite line of Kush. Not yet at least.

While dispensaries are important and highly visible in the distribution channel, they are also turning out to be one of the most profitable sub industries in the cannabis sector.

Dispensaries on the whole are doing well. And awesome in some cases.

According to a report from Marijuana Business Daily in mid-2016, almost 90% of cannabis dispensaries are profitable or breaking even. Take a look at the chart below.

Gold Futures

Gold futures in the April contract settled last Friday in New York at 1,176 an ounce while currently trading at 1,196 up $20 for the trading week continuing its bullish momentum right at a 7 week high. I have been sitting on the sidelines in this market looking at entering into a bullish position as I do think the precious metal sector has bottomed, however, the chart structure needs to improve as the 10 day low stands at 1,149 which is too far away, in my opinion, risking too much money so be patient as we could be in a bullish position in several of the precious metals later next week. Gold prices are still trading above their 20-day but below their 100-day moving average telling you that the shorter-term trend is mixed as the U.S dollar is also near a 4 week low as gold prices have been hit over the last year as all the interest remains in the S&P 500 which is right near another all-time high. Trading is all about risk/reward & its not in your favor at the present time, but could be later next week or on a significant price decline as I'm looking at buying this market around the 1,180 level which could happen on any given day so be nimble and quick as trading does not resume until Tuesday afternoon because of the holiday weekend in the United States.
TREND: HIGHER
CHART STRUCTURE: POOR - IMPROVING

Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the March contract settled last Friday at 54.87 a barrel while currently trading at 53.24 down about $1.50 for the trading week as I'm sitting on the sidelines looking at a possible short position as prices are right near a 4 week low.
