The pot run was pretty impressive. It'll have to go some to beat the tech bubble end of the 90's, though. It may eventually get there but not until the government reclassifies it as a schedule 3 from schedule 1. With DC legalizing rec MJ and the right starting to come on board because they see all the tax potential taking the pressure off their 1% buddies, rescheduling could be right around the corner.
I've heard Asher has reincarnated itself several times under different names. I tend to agree since there are a few other funders doing deals with terms identical to Asher's. And their habit of taking out a bid stack of several hundred million shares in minutes or less has become all too common with funders other than just them. It's a sobering sight, indeed. Happens in almost the blink of an eye. Watched it happen with PMCM just the other day so it's not something that's gone away.
Trading/investing without chart analysis is like bringing a knife to a gunfight.
