  5. AWD or 4 x 4 ?

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Raf

    Have a look at the colorado / canyons.  I am biased as i have the 2.8 diesel colorado and its an excellent truck that gets incredible fuel economy.  Drove to bellevile and back from west of orangeville and got 6.9 l / 100 - that's honda accord territory. The towing capacity and payload is slightly higher than a comparable ecodiesel ram.

    It has 4auto/hi/lo/2wd and a (auto) locking rear diff.  

    I compared against the tacoma and frontier but those two now lag behind GM in this segment. 

    Full time Awd biggest benefit is driving in snow.  A true 4x4 is not far behind and excels in conditions AWD gets stuck.

    had to be the 'wife extraction service' this week.  still shaking my head, what makes someone go out at 6am before the roads are plowed, after a blizzard in a fwd to get darts?

    fortunately she only made it about 300 feet before getting stuck in a drift and i was able to pull her out with my truck.  there was good money to made that day by the guys pulling people out of ditches

    My weed money is in BNS. How are the weed stock doing.

    great, i'm up about 60-70% YTD in that sector.  we had a bit of a bull run, i've been scaling out, taking profits last couple of days looking for the next dip.  Bout 50% cash right now in the pot stock section of my port.

    i've been trading/holding WEED, ACB, APHA, OGI warrants, CWEB and ACRG.U.   Best trade has been the OGI warrants, bought at $1.55 after the legalization dump, sold the last bit at $4.51 today.

    i've been eyeing BNS myself.. stock got beat up and may be a good time to get in.  4% divvy doesn't hurt either

    you must own some    

     will hit 30  in short order.

     

    are you talking about Canopy (WEED/CGC)??  cause there are a whole slew of other LPs listed on the exchanges.

    Constellation (STZ) gave us 5 billion reasons Canopy will not fall far below $CDN 48.  If you were paying attn you could have made 20% on Aphria today.

    IMHO, as someone who hit the OCS site at the stroke of midnite Wednesday and found a poor selection and an even poorer selection in the larger weights and later in the day revisited to find even those were sold out, they are going to have to get their act together if they want to displace the illegal market. Originally they said 1-3 days delivery and then revised that to 3-5 days, my order from the first hour after opening,  just went out a 5pm yesterday.  Considering all the media attention the first week was a majour flop for the customers,  not impressed.

    i've heard the same.  Issues are to be expected the 1st week and by all accounts, demand was far greater than anticipated.  The provinces with brick and mortar locations are great for hype with lineups every day.  sold out shelves are a good thing for investors provided the LPs can work out the supply chain kinks.  Ontario gets brick and mortar in April.

    all 100% true ..insider info " this latest one was in BC, part of those 100,000 DNA clones they shipped from chocolate town earlier this year."

    investors are going to take a bath.

    if bath means +9%, then sure......

    this was the same thing you posted on the previous page.  the real story is they did not get health canada approval at that facility in time so they stopped watering them and let them die on purpose.

    edit: canopy up almost 15% today LOL

    stop losses are in all my pot stocks.. this has been an incredible run

    The succesfull companies are/will be much more than the plants/green houses/giant grow ops.  I agree margins on flower will be low in the future. It wouldnt surprise me if many actually get away from the growing aspect.  the money will be in the products produced from the plant.  Pharmaceuticals, edibles, drinks, beauty products etc.  They will be a major disruptor to current offerings.  This is why companies like constellation, coca cola, molson coors have or are looking to invest in this sector.

    There are companies working on drug identification numbers which would make medicinal mj covered by your drug plan.  Some insurers already cover it for certain ailments. Insurers will like it because its a lot cheaper than big pharma.  

    Think outside of just recreational pot (although that will be a multi billion dollar industry on its own) as the scope of this industry.  The major players already are.

    we have a gravel driveway too Lew although nowhere near as long as yours.  I use the concentrated round-up. dilute and spray.  Unfortunately not available to most ontarians.  The stuff you can get a home depot, etc is diluted and pretty weak you are mostly paying for water. Your options are ordering from a province that still allows the use (MB/AB) or a trip to the states.   Even with this stuff, I have to re-apply though.  It kills everything green just fine but the dead stuff is just replaced with new weeds blowin' in the wind.

    If there's a permament solution that does not involve paving, I'm all ears.
