Opening (IRA): MJ November 19th 16 Short Calls... for a .52/contract credit. Comments: This is to cover the 16's I was assigned on last week. They had a cost basis of 15.57/share (See Post Below). By selling the 16's against for .52, my cost basis in the shares is now 15.57 - 15.52 = 15.05/share. by NaughtyPines221
MJBottom of channel with some bullish RSI divergence. Should get a decent bounce in weed stocks if it holds.Longby Essendy0
Rolling (Small Account): MJ October 15th 16 Call to Jan 21st 16... for a .68 credit. Comments: There isn't any November or December monthly yet, so extending duration out to January. My original cost basis was 15.44/share (See Post Below). With this roll, it's now 15.44 - .68 or 14.76, so I could conceivably roll this down to 15 with "my next move" and still be selling above my cost basis. However, we'll wait and see if it continues to implode and go from there. The January 16 short call's value on fill was 1.08.by NaughtyPines1
#MJ: Pot stocks bottomed?There's a big weekly down trend that had ran its course in pot stocks, and the daily chart is reversing here, odds are we can squeeze 10-11 times the risk if we go long here with a stop around 16.18, it is worth a shot with something between 0.25% and 2% risk in the trade. Up to you, how much you risk on it. I'm being conservative and sticking to a 0.25% max risk if the trade fails. Cheers, Ivan Labrie.Longby IvanLabrieUpdated 2212
Opened (Small Account): MJ October 15th 16 Covered Call... for a 15.44 debit. Comments: A small engagement trade in the small account ... . Here, going monied (i.e., the short call is in-the-money versus out-of-the-money), looking for MJ to stay above 16 running through expiry. Post-fill, entered an order to take it off for 15.95 (.05 short of max). That is unlikely to fill until the waning days of the short call contract when extrinsic in approaches nil, but you never know. Metrics: Max Theoretical Loss: 15.44 Max Profit: .56 Return on Capital at Max (as a Function of Max Loss): 3.63% Return on Capital at 50% Max: 1.81%Longby NaughtyPines1
Opening (IRA): MJ October 15th 18 Short Calls... for .38/contract. Notes: Waited a little bit after taking assignment of shares (See Post Below) to sell calls against. Here, selling the strike at which my short puts were originally. Cost basis/break even is now 17.13/share, so my current profit potential is the short call strike (18.00) minus my cost basis (17.13) or .87 ($87)/one lot. Still have September 16 short puts on as well.Longby NaughtyPines4
Taking Assignment (IRA): MJ SharesComments: Although the shares haven't appeared in my account yet, they will be there by Monday, since MJ finished sub-18.00 at expiry. These started out as August 17th 18 short puts (See Post Below), for which I received a .49/contract credit, so my cost basis in the shares will be the strike price (18.00) minus the credit received (.49) or 17.51/share. Next week, I will proceed to sell calls against my shares, looking to reduce cost basis further. I'll have some work to do, since my cost basis is 17.51 versus 15.95 (where it closed Friday), so the trade is currently 17.51 - 15.95 "in the red" (1.56/contract).Longby NaughtyPines554
Cup & Handle Pattern Forming in MJ?The current "handle" portion seems to be losing volume. Maybe a good time to be getting long cannabis stocks again?Longby Valley_Vista_Capital2

MJWeed stocks not looking too bad here as long as $17.50 holds. Volume picking up at the weekly 50 sma.by Essendy1
Revisiting the Cannabis+Altcoin correlationWe've got several examples in the past of Cannabis stocks lagging altcoins then putting in monster catch up rallies as the risk capital sloshes around during the mania phase. I thought this would happen in April/May but we didn't get much of a move. I think there is an even greater opportunity now. I am looking to get long CGC+TLRY and a few other names.

Revisting the Cannabis+Altcoin CorrelationSeveral times over the past few years in crypto, Cannabis has lagged behind the altcoin market and put in some incredible catch-up rallies. When the risk appetite gets excessive, the fast $ often flows from crypto to Cannabis. I think the R/R here on some Cannabis names could be massive. Full disclosure I posted this same correlation back in April/May and we didn't get much of a move from weed. I still the the R/R is worthwhile. I will be looking to buy pullbacks on CGC, TLRY etc.Longby WLinvestment113
Opening (IRA): MJ September 17th 16 Short Put... for a .43/contract credit. Notes: >35% 30-day at 39.7%. I already have some 18 on in August, so going out to September. 2.76% ROC as a function of notional risk. As usual, this is a "wheeling" play: generally, take profit on the short put approaching worthless; otherwise, if in the money at expiry, take assignment of shares and proceed to sell call against or roll out to collect additional credit/reduce cost basis.by NaughtyPines2
Opening (IRA): MJ August 20th 18 Short Put... for a .49/contract credit. Notes: There isn't much left on the board with 30-day implied >35% in the exchange-traded fund space, but MJ is one of them with 30-day at 41.6% and expiry-specific at 50.1%. The others: ARKK (40%), ARKG (39%), GDXJ (36%), and XME (35%). Had to go a little more aggressive here delta-wise than usual: the 18 is at the 22 delta or so; the 17, at the 14. ROC of 2.8% at max.Longby NaughtyPines3
Closing (IRA): MJ July 18th 18 Short Put... for .14/per contract. Comments: In for .48 (See Post Below), out for .14. .34 ($34)/contract profit with 39 days to go. No sense in hanging out another 39 days for the remaining .14. Implied is still pretty decent here with 30-day at 44.8%, so may re-up in a bit when an August monthly becomes available, assuming the volatility is still there.by NaughtyPines1

Are Cannabis stocks about to EXPLODE!?This is a higher risk play, I've been buying cannabis for months now. However I think there's a shot still at a MASSIVE catch up move to altcoins. The R/R in some stocks like SNDL and CURLF is still strong.Longby WLinvestmentUpdated 2210

Opening (IRA): MJ July 16th 18 Short Put... for a .48/contract credit. Comments: 30-day at 40.2%. 2.74% ROC at max as a function of notional risk, no doubt due in part that I had to go in a little bit more aggressive than usual due to the lack of delta granularity from strike to strike. It was either this strike (24 delta) or the 17 (14 delta).by NaughtyPines2
MJ About to go BULLISHMJ has been in a descending wedge since the run up in February. I think it will break the wedge sometime next week with a short term price target of $30.Longby noahkeene3
