This is obviously not my first 'last few days of the year' experience...
From a public markets perspective the Marijuana Industry is small, so small that it could go to zero tomorrow and nobody would notice. In late August we started covering the space after...
Somewhere along the way, a large majority of U.S. citizens convinced themselves that the market owes them something. They think that if they "invest" in the stock market, that they've somehow earned the right to make money over time. I'm not sure if...
