Default Investors: 5 stocks that are going crazy.

Maybe time to get in on this. Only a matter of time, and it will be taking off even more.

I will stick to my arms manufacturing stocks.

You might notice an inverse relationship between Dave's stocks and mine from time to time.

I was a "sucka" once too.

Truth of all the penny stocks is that the insiders always have the lock on the thing, and most are more interested in "selling paper" than selling product.

If you go in knowing you are too late, and that your fate rides on how fast the insiders unload their stock and rediculous "options", then you can play on the backs of other fools who follow. Don't think this is investing. Its not even gambling. Gambling suggests chance, not an inside fix.

This is so remeniscent of the tech boom where every dog under the sun, even the Junior Gold promotors, were pumping out garbage knowing that in the feeding frenzy, the public would eat anything, Sh!t or not.

How about a major pharmaceautical coming in and muscling out all of these future spin doctors? They can distribute, market, and deliver the product professionally.

Maybe buy Pepsi Co. which also owns Frito Lay since all the smokers will have the munches and be thirsty.

What we need to invest in is medical devices... specifically hearing aides.

Seems like the right and left of line are both hard of hearing.

heres one.... Novo nordisk, it is literally like investing in diabetes and fat people. Number one insulin maker in the world. There is an adr in US market and a listing in Europe.

If it werent for currency risk I would buy some. I just go for bonds that trade at par... I am a weiner but at the same time I only need 2% to retire.

Greed can kill ya in the market

I'm too conservative a stock investor to go for the penny stocks, but I have to agree with Dave ... I think it's just a matter of time. Think of the tax revenue that would be gained, and the benefits of taking the profits away from organized crime.

I don't use the stuff, but I think it's long passed due to be legalized.

That would be my two nickles (they don't make pennies anymore).

The smokers are a special lot ... there's "lots" of money to be made off them!

These stocks revolve around a product & market that is both old, yet new. It'll be down to effective management whether they really fly or not. They could just as easily be mining gold, but if they're not controlling costs, ensuring a good range of products or marketing well, then they'll just be a flash in the pan. Picture Coca-Cola versus the local no-name beverage bottler; same market and similar products, but whose shares would you rather own?

Who knows, perhaps the buying public will avoid mass marketed cannabis in favor of local "farmers market" boutique products. Budweiser versus local craft-brewed pilsners of sorts.

Now that comparison has me thinking: is Red Bull going to come out with a new beverage variation for these states? Video game sales are gonna go through the roof!

All those stocks are pinks. So basically the Wild West of trading, barely any regulation compared to tsx or dj. You could get lucky but more than likely you'll get played by the pro pump and dumpers! Just use the tsx with your tfsa. We are really fortunate to have the venture and be able to play it tax free. It's still gambling! Everything aside from the peanut butter jar that's buried in your back yard is gambling thou!
