Stock Gumshoe Weekend Update

After that it was a lot of marijuana stock chatter...

First, "Pot Buyouts" -- the big alcohol and cigarette and soda companies are all rumored to be interested in getting into the marijuana business as it legalizes, and some of them have already started acquiring or investing in smaller Canadian firms. So who's next? Jimmy Mengel teased us with a bunch of them, and we covered them in two parts -- you can seepart one here, and part two here.

Then it was Charles Mizrahi talking up "Wall Street's Best-Kept Marijuana Stock Secret", which turned out to be yet another "back door" way to get some exposure to the pot business without buying a pot stock... so what's that pitch about? Thinkolator answers here.
