Yes, I do enjoy Florida, hot and humid summers notwithstanding. As you may or may not remember, I moved here from the Northeast (northern Delaware) 21 years ago. The Northeast just wasn't doing it for me, so I packed up my bags, and moved Southerly (South Florida, that is).:) I'll be heading back home tomorrow for my Mom's birthday. How's the weather up there?
As far as investments, I'm all over the place. Fairly well diversified. Unfortunately, even after Cortex, I had another big bust with little pseudo biotech called star scientific (then rock creek pharma). The founder, Johnny Williams, was a real swindler/snake salesman. He was even involved in a bribe/misappropriation case which brought down the governor of Virginia. I had some good ones/wins, also, including GW Pharma, which I started buying at 99, all the way down to the 30's. My persistence paid off there, a rare feat! That was just before they announced the stellar results of Epidiolex in Dravets Syndrome. Still have it.
I have also been playing the cannabis market, and have done well. One of them, NEPT, was by accident. I liked their krill oil product, but the business was dwindling. I amassed 10000 shares when riding it down to .80+ cents. Then, they decided to sell their Krill business and focus exclusively on extracting CBD from cannabis. That was so freaking lucky. They ended up signing a big deal with Canopy Growth. I still hold a few thousand shares. I also have a hemp play (Hemp food and fiber, now %53 owned by Aurora). I own Canntrust, which is a relatively fairly valued Canada medical and rec. cannabis player that seems to be well run. In addition, I have a US cannabis play, Golden Leaf, which has stores in Oregon, Nevada, etc. and may have some future potential as rec use continues to expand, and hopefully, the Federal Gov't changes their tune. It's time.
in addition, I like to take advantage of beaten down good or conservative companies in all sectors: BTI, T, DISH, TWTR, ESLT, KR, WTR, P. Still have some biotechs, too: BLRX, BCLI, ALKS, INCY.
To Hedge, I've also been building and unwinding leveraged shorts: QID, SQQQ, and UVXY. They were killing me for 1 1/2 years...I never believed the hype after the Trump win, but paid a price on these. Fortunately, I've dwindled the positions down to a small position as the markets swung down, and was 85-85% long on the market.
Hope you don't still support that lunatic Alex Jones. That guy's mind is about as sick as you can get. Unless it is just about the money and publicity, then we're talking on par with Trump.
Take it easy for now.
