Sort of open-ended. Anything specific you're looking for comments on?

The sale price on tomatoes is pretty good, probably due to the glut of ripening tomatoes in the SOMD area. Watermelon is also on sale but they are smallish. I'll check the other stuff and report back.

Apparently "consumer and financial affairs" includes supermarkets
I look once a month, when I do my financials. Otherwise I'd drive myself crazy with the ups and downs. So far I'm happy and feeling positive, but I'm nervous when the Powers That Be talk about crashing the economy in order to stick it to Trump.

Invest regularly in a diversified portfolio, preferably stocks that have a history of 10-15% sales growth. The investment club I belong to meets once a month. We own about 15 stocks. We try to invest in every stock 3-4 times a year with the goal of doubling our money every 5 years (this is where the 15% growth comes in). We met this past Sunday - the DJIA was down 4.6% from our meeting the prior month. The S&P was down almost 3%. Our ~half a million dollar portfolio was down just a little over a half percent. Invest regularly in a diversified portfolio.
That being said, some of the stocks we are currently looking at or own are DG, CGC, DNKN, WM, PM, CVS, WBA, and the trusty ole standby AFL.

That was the discussion we had with Canopy on Sunday. Cronos has not come up but will be looking. Thx.
As a club we are prevented from buying stocks such as Canopy and Boeing for example because of some of the members and the jobs they hold and the clearances they have...

As an investment club, we only invest in stocks that have a direct stock purchase plan and/or a dividend reinvestment plan. I just opened on online account about an hour ago with Fidelity Investments to look at purchasing Cronos or CGC.
Wait, you have over a million dollars in a mattress company? Dang
A good night sleep is very important.

I wish I could keep up with highrollers like you. You should come to our next investment club meeting and teach us something.
