Getting High - Legalized Weed (CGC, STZ, SMG)

Legalized weed is fast becoming an investment opportunity. These 3 companies offer varying risks and I'm following closely how they perform going forward.

Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC)

Short volatile history with potential perhaps !?

Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ)

Big beer company with share of (NYSE: CGC), decent 1.5% div yield , indirect weed play and safer.

The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE: SMG)

Very old and established fertilizer company with long history, trying their hand at weed.

I like their stability and dividend history but new side weed business not going well.

Market CAP: 4B      Dividend: $2.20 (3.0%)      3yr | 5 yr DGR:~6 | ~11%

Bitcoin - BTFD !?

Everyone wanted a piece of it at $13k-15k but how about now !? Hmmm...😈

BTFD - Chinese Stocks !

These chinese stocks have been hammered lately with US & China trade war talks.

Time to get some with these big discounts ! 🙏🙏🙏🎲😂

Crazy Rich Yields$ ! (AGNC, NLY, NRZ, PSEC, TWO)

I'm holding these names purely for income only. Any price appreciation is a big bonus and not expected. It has only has been a short holding period (ranging from 3-5 yrs) so my results have been mixed (not terrible or fantastic), just mixed.

I will continue to chase these "Crazy Rich Asians Yield$" to see if it can boost my income returns. Well, why would I do that you ask ? Bcos this blog is called "Guinea Pig for Life" 🐖😜

AGNC Investment Corp.  (Yield 11.1%)

Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (Yield 11.2%)

New Residential Investment Corp.  (Yield 10.8%)

Prospect Capital Corp (Yield 10.1%)

Two Harbors Investment Corp.  (Yield 10.1%)

Stock Buy - ITW (10 shares, $40 dividend income)

Illinois Tool Works Inc. (NYSE: ITW) produces engineered fasteners and components, equipment and consumable systems, and specialty products.

ITW is a S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrat with over 25+ years of dividend increases. It derives revenues from various market segments and it is quite diversified.

Recent pullback in price has provided a good opportunity to get a few shares of this consistent dividend payer. I hope to keep receiving and growing this dividend income for a long time.

This purchase will add $40 div income annually to my dividend stock portfolio 💪

Basic info:

Market CAP: 46B   EPS:$7.42  Dividend: $4.00 (2.89%)

Buying "Cannibis" - SMG (15 shares, $33 dividend income)

The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE: SMG) is the world's largest marketer of branded consumer lawn and garden products.

This company provides a way to invest in the legalization of cannibis trend in North America. It's subsidiary, Hawthorne Gardening Company, formed in October 2014 was created "to meet the demands of hydroponic growers" (a.k.a. cannabis growers) (src: wikipedia)

Cannibis laws and its implementation in various countries and regions are still in progress so this is a speculative investment.

Legality of Cannibis across the World

Current pullback in the whole agriculture sector especially because of US tariffs rumors has provided a good entry price into this name. As long as they maintain their consistent dividend (~2.9%) and revenues going forward, I will wait patiently for them to go much "higher" !

This purchase will add $33 div income annually to my dividend stock portfolio 💪

Basic info:

Market CAP: 2.3B   EPS:$2.81  Dividend: $2.20 (2.9%)

Let's play - added Tencent !

Added, and will hold till politics fades and hopefully by then it will be at least a 2-bagger ! 😎

Saving is not enough !?
