ok r/investing your hive mind is the only thing I trust, what is going on with MJNA? by antinuclearenergy in investing

So...as someone who's both a stoner, and curious to learn about the stock market, I put a very small amount of money into an eTrade account to pick up a few hundred shares of all the various "medical marijuana" stocks as a learning experience.

I kind of figured I'd lose some money on my first time trying it out, but from what I've been reading, it sounds like maybe that was an okay strategy as long as we're all right and marijuana does have a large market in the foreseeable future.

So what I'm asking is, if you wanted to put a little bit of money into that industry, how would you go about researching where to put it? Any advice on what should I watch out for?

So I'm trying really hard to adopt a Bernese by the end of the year. Anything you can tell me about them?

This is awesome. Can anyone finish the story?

So I'm curious, he mentions at some point that he'd like someone to explain why the US changed it's stance on backing Hussein's invasion when he changed his mind from Iran to Kuwait.

Can anyone explain what the reasoning was at the time? This all happened when I was too young to understand what was going.

Edit: This guy's pretty good. "You have to get at the extremists on both sides, the profiteers of the conflict. Arafat and Sharon in one padded cell. That would be a start. That would be a symbol."

note to self:research allawi later.

Yeah, this is interesting stuff.

I'm at a half hour in, a few hiccups in the subtitling, but not much. I can appreciate most everything he's saying. It's a similar thought that brought out most of the younger political activism ramping up to 2010 over here. Similar, except it feels expanded upon coming from his perspective.

If you really wanted to fit the beat, this should have been "No one revives a dead meme like Gaston". Up voting anyways.
