Some of the Canadian companies are in talks with other countries to supply medicinal oil (like Germany HERE).Attachment not found. At one stage I was up 25% (thanks to Snoop Dog interest and Canopy changing it's ticker to WEED!) but now it appears to have stabilised at +5% so it's better than a deposit account. Many of the companies are purchasing real estate at a phenomenal rate to prepare to increase production, but at the moment they are in the medicinal/research area of production. It's like a tech bubble with a lot of speculation but if I can get in and get out at the right time then I'll be happy. Emerging AgroSphere ETF will be set up soon on the NYSE but I think their a little late to the party! Any one else taking a punt?

Weak GBP should help too from an external and domestic POV. Pretty concerned with the age of the BOD though.. Near 70s. Could be a buyout down the line possibly.. I still think they are massively undervalued @ 4.8GBX

Esperion closed out the session last Thursday at around $30 a share. By Friday morning, and subsequent to the Amgen release, the company went for as low as $20 a share – a more than 30% dip. By Friday close, Esperion had recovered to around $23 a share, and premarket on Monday this week, the company is up around the $26 mark, but still remains down on Amgen’s news.

Apple is a licence to print money, period. At least for now. What made me get into apple is the loyal fanbase, and also the fact that any business phone I have ever seen and used (And ive worked in huge companies) is an iPhone due to the relatively secure architecture. Will hold for at least 3-5 years more, and will reasess the market, if it loses its licence to print money status, eg. upheavel by android platformHibernia REIT - €1.25Anytime i make any "extra money" eg. by selling old scrap, I always put it into HBRN. Reason being, it owns a lot of commercial real estate, a lot with upward only rent reviews. With the advent of Brexit, im taking a gamble that the real estate in Dublin will be scarce. Has a tasty dividend also. Strong buy from me AMD - $13.70 A specualtive buy from me, obviously we will have to see on the uptake of the new ryzen processors, but its beating all estimates so far. I project with decent growth an exit price close to $20Nokia - €4.96 Nokia is back, although it never really left. In the sense that they do a great deal of work on network deployment, and in my opinion are well placed for 5g upgrades globally. Also, with the relaunch of their mobile phone manufacturing (albeit by proxy), I do think that the 30-45 years old group will have a strong feeling of quality carried over from their teens/mid twenties. Not to mention it might be a reminice buy.....Mastercard & Visa A recent purchase from me, there is no denying that the world is shifting away from cash, with the uptake in contactless impressive. One thing i noticed in coffee shops is that contactless payments seem the norm. Everytime you tap your card, these two companies take a cut. Strong buy from me.Glencore plc 319GBX Speculative Copper play, i really do think the average person should stay away from commodities trading. Though a diversified company such as Glencore with a modest dividend could be a better play. Thats it from me. I doubt anyone wants to hear about my etf holdings, they even bore me to tears

Fairly volatile stock, looks likely to rebound this year. I don't invest in individual stocks, only ETFs, I like to pick a few to follow just for interests sakes.

Esperion is already up 70%+ this year and at $21 it is still way off its highs which were well over $100, it lows were at $9s The pathway for their cholesterol drug looks clearer. For the record I bought some at $13s and more in the $18s. Despite the already huge gains, I believe ESPR still has a long way to go.
