Weed Growth Fund, Inc (WEDG)

[RationalOptimist]

My understanding is that this was Kush and your shares are from shares you owned in CBDS (Cannabis Sativa Inc.) at one time--another promise those guys made and are now delivering on (CBDS remains one of the best cannabis companies around in my opinion). Anyway, I believe WEDG (Weed Growth Fund, Inc.), is headed by Ed Rosenthal--yes, that Rosenthal, the author of scores of books on cannabis, including a few with Tommy Chong (Cheech and Chong). As one fan put it, "Mr. Rosenthal is the pothead's answer to Ann Landers, Judge Judy, Martha Stewart and the Burpee Garden Wizard all in one." I called Ameritrade and they said those shares are in my account because they are about to come online. Apparently, they are in process or something. I thought they were supposed to start at $2K per share, so not sure what's happening on that end. My account currently shows them at $5--which seems like a fire sale price to me. WEDG is an investment holding company focused on the cannabis industry, so I expect this will be a major player in the sector, particularly given Rosenthal's stature and connections both in politics and finance. I'll let you know if i learn more.
