Hi Travis, Do you have any thoughts on how this proposed legislation would impact the business model of AFCG and IIPR? My gut feel is that this could open up more financing opportunities for Pot companies and thus put a cap on the pricing power that AFCG/IIPR currently enjoy. But the price action has been […]

On Bowser Report, The

Gosh, this is a blast from the past. As a young investor (in my 20's) I subscribed to the Bowser Report, when Max Bowser was the publisher. Always enjoyed the publication and his research. One pick that I did very well on was Micro Systems (MCRS). Sol[...]

On Friday File: Sweet Times

Travis, thanks for the very interesting post. Enjoyed the analysis of HSY and the insurance stocks, as well as the timely discussion on market valuations.In that vein, I set a sell order Wednesday at $900 for about 20% of my long-term position in NV[...]

On "Insider Buying Frenzy on $12 Energy Company" -- What's Alexander Green Recommending for Insider Alert?

AMLP. I think you are correct Travis, this is the easiest way to play MLP's in the energy space. You get diversification, nice yield, and do not have to mess with the K1's. And depending on when you bought it, some very nice price appreciation.[...]

On Friday File: Buying a Dinosaur

Thanks Travis, appreciate your insight. You are right about the Treasury Direct site being antiquated. My wife and I have been using it to buy iBonds over the last 4 years and we were surprised at how dated it is.[...]

On Friday File: Buying a Dinosaur

I agree with your comment, "I’m still happily buying 3-6 month T-bills." Even though I've been investing for about 50-years, I've never bought T-bills directly. Can you suggest an ETF that replicates this strategy or perhaps share how you buy T-Bills? [...]

On Friday File: Buffett goes East, Bassy Impresses, and what's that "Fedcoin" fear about?

"...but I do think it can come naturally when politics loses any semblance of a “center” that most people can agree on." I agree with this 100% Travis. Back in the late 70's when I was in college as a Poly Sci/Economics major, we used to have spirit[...]

On Friday File: What's up with this Bonkers Banking Week?

"There is more concern to abide by Social and Political correct issues of the day." ~ I'm not sure this can be dismissed as not being part of the problem here. With banks and "the regulators" focusing more and more on ESG and DEI factors, there is a dist[...]

On "Ronald Reagan's Revenge" to give "little-known asset" a 33,233% boost?

I also purchased KRBN after your coverage back in 2021. It did pay a huge distribution on 12/28 ($8.53). I have it in an IRA, so from a taxable basis, I'm not sure if that was treated as a dividend or a capital gain. Either way, it could have been a big[...]

On "If I Had to Pick One Stock to Retire On, I'd Pick this..."

I owned HTGC for many years but sold my shares in April of 2019 when the CEO had to resign after it was revealed he was one of the participants in the college admission scandal (the same one that snared Lori Laughlin). He was the indisputable driving for[...]

On Friday File: Earningspalooza Draws the Eye to Cheap Stocks

Thanks Travis, as usual an engaging and well written summary. In regard to IIPR, do you feel any of those risks also apply to AFCG? AFCG stock has certainly performed much better than IIPR YTD. Thanks in advance for sharing any thoughts.[...]

On What's the "World-Leading Subscription Business" teased by Undervalued Shares?

About 10,000 years ago the Lake Erie wine region in Ohio was under a glacier. 10,000 years relative to the age of the earth is a grain of sand. Yet, over a relatively short time, the glacier melted and formed the great lakes (and some very fertile wine g[...]

On "$25 could let you profit BIG from the global shift to tokenization" -- What's up with Jeff Brown's "G.T.E" and "World IPO Day"

I first started buying GBTC in December of 2019 as a hedge, along with GDX (Gold miners). During the COVID crisis which started in March of 2020, GDX proved to be a much better hedge against market volatility than GBTC. For the first couple months of the[...]

Great article, thanks! One more company in the therapeutic mix is ATEA Pharmaceutical (AVIR). It has enjoyed a nice move over the last month (from the mid-to-high $20, to the mid 40's). You may want to check this one out, particularly if it pulls back [...]
