Getting MOAR Oil; Booked First Profit of 2018

I just sold out of XNET. I had purchased the stock about a week ago in the $13s and I decided to take the quick 20% gain. With cryptos running hard, now with a combined market cap of ~$650 billion, I do not fear an upending in the market. However, I did just buy a hammed burger crypto play and I also still own GSUM and a little NXTDW.

With the proceeds, I bought SN — because it’s a heavily shorted and hated oil stock. And, I think the Iranian situation is about to worsen, which should buoy the price of crude.

Call me crazy, but everyone is laughing at this small little hammed burger joint trying to become a blockchain play. Truth is, they have a greater chance of receiving new business now, luring normies into their locales for burgers and cryptos, than any Madison Avenue high end advertising campaign ever made.

To offer patrons crypto currencies to burger eating cro magnon Americans is absolutely fucking genius.

Naturally, buying a low float stock like this is reckless and not for the faint of heart. But it’s worth an early in the year gamble for me, especially with my Quant portfolio set for the month and my other positions all up sharply, chiefly JNUG and XNET.

Also, I get the sense the Iranian situation will worsen, which is why I am confidently long BBG.

Notice how most of the pot companies are domiciled in Canada, just like the countless other scams that are thrusted upon us by our loyalist cousins to the north. The entire Canada is one giant wasteland of perfidious swindlers and mountebanks, wholly interested in fraudulent schemes. Nevertheless, with California legalizing pot for recreational purposes, I suppose we should start looking at investment opportunities.

The go-to play here is via the only pot ETF: MJX.

Also, STZ took a 10% stake in Canopy Growth and there’s a little property play for weed: IIPR.

Check it out.

Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. is focused on the acquisition, ownership and management of specialized industrial properties leased to state-licensed operators for their regulated medical-use cannabis facilities. The Company intends to acquire its properties through sale-leaseback transactions and third-party purchases. It is focused on leasing its properties on a triple-net lease basis, where the tenant is responsible for all aspects of and costs related to the property and its operation during the lease term, including maintenance, taxes and insurance. The Company intends to conduct business in an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (UPREIT), structure through its operating partnership. The Company’s real estate investments will consist of primarily properties suitable for cultivation and production of medical-use cannabis.

Other pot plays include Scott’s Miracle Grow, SMG, GWPH and NEPT. But as this market develops and share prices rise, rest assured, we’ll see a lot more of them cropping up.

Fucking stoners. I belong in the 18th century.

Just when you thought having iced tea on the Blockchain was fucking absurd, this morning I bring you burgers.

There’s hardly any shares in the float and it’s only up a mere 70%. Clearly, there are a lot of sleep heads out there, unaware of the news — hammed burgers are now on the fucking blockchain. I repeat, hammed burgers are now on the fucking blockchain.

Mobivity Holdings Corp. (MFON), makers of the award-winning platform for intelligent and personalized marketing in the real world, and Chanticleer Holdings Inc. (BURG), the owners and operators of several fast casual restaurant brands, today announced plans to use MobivityMind, a blockchain-architected platform for commerce and customer communication across brands, to power their groundbreaking cryptocurrency customer loyalty and rewards program. Chanticleer Holding’s brands, including BGR (Burgers Grilled Right), Little Big Burger, and American Burger Co., will leverage the MobivityMind platform to reward customers with a currency that can be leveraged across all Chanticleer Holding brands – and beyond. “Eating a burger is now a way to mine for cryptocoins! Every meal enjoyed at any Chanticleer Holdings brand will accrue currency for the consumer that can be used for future meals or traded with other consumers. It transforms traditional consumer rewards into something that the consumer can control,” said Dennis Becker, CEO of Mobivity, and visionary behind the concept.

“We wanted to expand our existing loyalty program with something that really changes the way our customers can leverage their rewards; Mobivity Merit is real cryptocurrency, leveraging the same infrastructure and principles of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, and more, and will enable our customers to make use of their rewards in entirely new ways,” said Michael D. Pruitt, Chairman, President and CEO of Chanticleer Holdings. “Use your Merit mined by eating at Little Big Burger to get a buffalo chicken sandwich at American Burger Co., or trade them with your vegan friend so he can get a veggie burger at BGR. And that’s just the beginning,” he continued. Mobivity’s Merit allows brands to create one-time use rewards which can be redeemed across brands and traded with virtually no fraud concern by leveraging the decentralized blockchain-based cryptocurrency paradigm. “We’re excited to see how consumers respond to the idea of getting real, transferrable, secure value in exchange for their loyalty to our brands,” added Pruitt.

That’s right fuckers. Get in there and eat some burgers, while earning loyalty points in the form of crypto currencies. This is good for a solid 1,000% gain.

I think so. With the tax cuts coming in and the Trump administration spending like drunken fools, it’s only a matter of time before the dollar sinks to new lows.

The play here, obviously, is long GLD. I am long both GLD and JNUG at the open of trade for 2018, not because I had a hunch that the dollar was gonna get smoked, but because I’m a better trader than you.

Any questions?

Welcome to 2018, fucked face.

Good morning.

CNN sent out one of their reporters to Colorado to ‘investigate’ legal procreation of marijuana and then broadcasted the degeneracy live for America to behold. Do not worry lads, marijuana is medicinal and doesn’t have any downside, such as cancer or losing vast amounts of brain cells. Feel free to smoke as much as you want, operate machinery, and have a grande time.

Here’s CNN at a puff and pass party.

And here’s CNN on a weed party bus, exploring the virtues of having a bong attached to a gas mask.

I can’t wait until heroin is legalized and CNN shows young America how to properly mainline opiates.

If the Iranian protests get violent, look for the price of oil to fucking surge. Markets aren’t pricing in this bullshit yet; but rest assured, any Iranian revolution would be inexplicably wonderful for oilFAGS trading in and out of exploration names. Being the worst sector to own next to retail for 2017, there could be appreciable upside to be had in the oils.

Nasdaq futures are +17. Any movement against the Iranian government will be viewed as a net positive for markets — globalists for the win.

On my end of things, I posted the Quant portfolio to be purchased tomorrow in Exodus. That will be a pastiche of stocks held for a duration of 1 month. Also, I updated the GARP portfolio, which is a semi-annually managed group of stocks. I employed a different method for this portfolio and feel it will be my best one yet.

Stocks are poised to trade higher — continuing the elasticity we enjoyed throughout 2017. Frankly speaking, I don’t think we’ll ever have a down month again. Ever.

Is your head still spinning?

When I was a kid, we used to spend the evening at my grandfather’s house and hit on pots and pans when the ball dropped, hollering and yelling like wild animals. When I was a teenager, I used to go with my retarded friends to the city or somewhere else, which usually included large amounts of alcohol. As an adult, I started the tradition of staying home, cooking a nice meal, and drinking champagne — and also blowing horns and making loud savage like sounds.

Last night was no different — seafood dinner, champagne, horns, and then some teevee. I usually like watching an episode or two of the Honeymooners or Twilight Zone. In an attempt to switch it up last night, I bore witness to the worst show on Netflix: Black Mirror, which was an absolute abomination.

The kids are lamenting the fact that school starts tomorrow and I’m here studying the market.

What did you folks do last night; go anywhere exotic?

Happy New Year’s iBankCoin.
