Keep in mind Russell 2k is down 1.30% instead of being up 3% in December, as is historically common. All of my plays right now are small cap focused. Also I'm looking at call options on the IWM for Jan, that should be up easily.
basically we're on hold this end of year with getting new investor money. guaranteed anything small cap and promising will run in early 2018. Especially when fools stop bidding up BTC- that is going to pull back after the futures start trading next week and it can be properly shorted. parabolic always comes back down! Brokerages like coinbase are going to literally cr@p when they are left holding the bag on BTC currency that is declining in value, with no buyers (they have to buy it then sell it as the middleman). once the BTC area feels shaky, traders / investors will start looking at stocks again, and pot related are untapped!
Pot related stocks are all going to kill it this year, as long as they are not scam companies running on false promises and no track record of execution or even knowledge of this area. this is a highly undervalued area and investors are going to come in droves once it catches eyeballs again with the double and triple digit quarterly sales increases posted by many of these companies. e.g "follow the money" and "get in early"
IMO - online sales focused companies will make the most money along with growers and cbd producers.
