I've made $515,000 (£312,000) so far," says the Wolf, who quit his job as a disaster consultant in December after barely six months of trading in marijuana stocks.

If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

So what it may mean for some people is an interesting investment one which seems to pay a good return. Of interest to people that is with something to invest. People that is, who understand simple things like, one can invest in a bar without being the keeper. So what it would mean to you, who has no such understand, is nothing much at all. So what are doing reading my posts anyway? After all you did give your word that were going ignore them. Well I guess you were just having another one of your emotional and temperamental mood swings at the time?
Hmmm I wonder if marijuana is good for those fits.

If the facts do not conform to the theory, they must be disposed of.

Good luck reasoning with GM.
 His mind is made up and no chance of changing it. (based on previous threads)

I've never known anybody who got rich quick and actually kept the money. To my knowledge, most lottery winners who hit the million dollar jackpot eventually lost it all along with most sports super-stars. I bought a former NFL player a drink at a bar one time and he talked about he went through his millions and was now bankrupt. I am not a football fan, so when I bought him a drink I never recognized him and just thought he was a regular joe. I didn't believe him at first when he told me he played for the NFL. He told me that NFL stood for "Not For Long" because of all the injuries in football. I guess the same would be true for keeping their millions. The "Wolf of Wall Street" certainly didn't keep his millions either. That's why I say, it takes a great deal of time to build wealth and that's probably one of the essential ingredients to keep the wealth along with good money management skills and financial education. Rome wasn't built in a day. People want to get rich quick, but you know anything worth having also requires patience. Their is no getting rich quick and then keeping your wealth in my experience.

I was not recommending the stock. The article points out the risks. It is a gamble and some may or may not want to risk a dollar and that is a matter for them to decide for themselves. Like all things one must decide if the return is worth the risk. Are you getting value? Are the odds in your favour? If you put time, effort and money into a magic shop that is a risk. In fact that is a bad bet. Go and ask a bank manager if he thinks a magic shop is good business investment. He will probably tell you that you are better off buying marijuana.

That being said, I am sure weed is a good money maker, so long as it's legal, but I would never want to own a weed shop, even if it was legal to do so. I prefer to stick with what I know and what I love to do which is magic.

It would not surprise me to see magic shops selling pot under or over the counter soon. Or the paraphernalia of it all, you know, all that Ali Bongo stuff.

Aside from that, this topic reminds me of what somebody told me one time: "Everybody wants to go to the promised land but nobody wants to die to get there." Everybody wants to get rich and stay rich but nobody wants to do what it takes to get there or make it happen.

"Everybody wants to go to the promised land but nobody wants to die to get there." Wait a second, how can you die and still get to the promised land? Dying seems like a less than optimal strategy for getting there, yes? I thought the whole point was they died and *didn't* get to the Promised Land. So it wasn't like they didn't *try* or *work hard enough* to get to the promised land (Moses and MLK were no slackers from what I hear). I think this goes into my Analogies We'd Like to Forget file.

Bill Gates should have stayed in school and not borrowed any money. He might have become a wealthy man after a few decades.

Might have kept some of the money, too.

We'll see what GM has to say when my long term wealth building plan of hitting the Rainbow 6 at Gulfstream comes through.
