UBQU which is trading at $.02 a share?
Yes, it was pushed down last week by the MM's but it bounced big yesterday.
They are changing their name soon to Endo Bioscience. CBD products are getting huge and they are one of the best new companies out there. They have a new product coming out Friday and increasing sales. Legal in all 50 States.
It might be another Owcp success story- at least I hope so. [Reply]

So this isn't cannabis? Just wondering because the Trump administration said they were going to enforce the federal cannabis laws more strictly. [Reply]

Cannabidiol is one of at least 113 active cannabinoids identified in cannabis. It is a major phytocannabinoid, accounting for up to 40% of the plant's extract. CBD is considered to have a wide scope of potential medical applications – due to clinical reports showing the lack of side effects, particularly a lack of psychoactivity, and non-interference with several psychomotor learning and psychological functions.

Schwab just lowered to 4.95 to match Fidelity. Price wars
When competition actually works it's pretty nice :-)

That's what I did. I have 10 percent coming out of my check for 401k at work, but I wanted a little different look at things. [Reply]

That sounds like a solid plan. You will be very comfortable at retirement age.
Make sure you say hi to me when I am 90 and still working as a Walmart greeter. Sucks when you lose half your retirement in a divorce- it takes a lot of years to get it back. [Reply]
My retail stocks are like Dresden during the fire bombings. I only have a couple, but TGT and ANF have been taking a beating, and I think they're typical.
Do we think they'll bounce back or are all retail stocks going the way of Montgomery Wards? I'm curious if this is a buying opportunity or the beginning of a mass extinction event. [Reply]

I guess what it really comes down to is that I have zero confidence that retail will outperform other sectors where money could be invested. I'd far rather get a little retail by having the money in an index mutual fund, than be directly invested in a retail company. [Reply]

Target just did 4Q earnings a day or so ago.. no bueno for 4Q sales or forward guidance. Online sales were up but it's such a tiny part of their business

I did a check and WMT is flat for the last 3 months vs TGT down 25%. Wal-Mart has a larger online presence already. I'm not an investor in either but I know WMT bought Amazon sorta competitor Jet.com. I've also seen their recent commercials offering free 2-day shipping on orders over $35(?) bucks to try and match Amazon.
I've heard nothing about anything Target is doing other than dying a slow death. They may have some grand plan or something I don't follow them closely.
I just looked at ANF and it's up 13+% today. I see their earnings report came out today.. it must have been favorable. [Reply]

I think you're supposed to buy when blood is running in the streets and everyone is screaming in agony. That's certainly the case here, but then again sometimes blood runs in the streets and people scream in agony because they're actually dying. [Reply]

It wasn't long ago that TGT was viewed as a darling that was successfully incorporating predictive analytics and appealing to upscale soccer moms. I can't figure out why that has suddenly changed.
I'm not on my own network today so as a policy I don't get into any of my financial accounts. That's excellent news about ANF. If it does that a couple more days in a row, I might be profitable on it. [Reply]
