Trulieve Relief

I want to be sure everyone saw the good news on Trulieve ($TRLV) after the market closed Friday.

Trulieve was my Trade of the Week:

Trade of the Week: Buy TRLV ($8.05)

Trulieve’s (TRLV) shares have been under pressure because of the malaise in the cannabis space and the proposed sale of 2.5 million shares by the company’s founder, Kim Rivers.

As expressed in my cannabis update yesterday, I believe an extraordinary reward vs. risk exists today.

As to Trulieve, based on Rivers’ SEC reporting I believe she is close to completing her sales (which were previously planned for in a filing).

After she completes those sales I expect the company to implement their authorized company buyback.

I would further note that a large portion of the cannibas company’s operations are medical-use based, which has already been rescheduled. 

Position: Long TRLV (S)

* SPY $737.51
* QQQ $715.73

But, given tomorrow is the last trading session of the month (markups likely!) and then to start of a new trading month (inflows likely) – I will likely move slowly.

I got the mesage from the first 10 subs that commented on cessation of Index prices – and I got the message!

Back to Shorting the Indexes

Avatar photo Doug Kass on June 29, 2026

With  S&P futures -65 handles and Nasdaq futures -350 handles I am back shorting the indexes.

I have done quite well position trading in the indexes while being wrong footed on the general market direction.

But unless there is a huge outcry, I am going to stop producing real time trade prices, because it seems to me that it is not useful to most subscribers based on input from the Comments Section.
