Another Signpost That Rescheduling of Cannabis Is Likely

The IRS proclamation that they will looking at 280E guidelines (earlier this week) and the DEA info below seem to be concrete signposts that rescheduling of adult-use cannabis is very likely over the near term:

Playing the ‘Pass Line’ on Weed

As mentioned in my “things” column yesterday, I have aggressively purchased $MSOS calls (for October and November) in the last two days.

This reflects my growing conviction that we are close to a rescheduling of adult, recreational use of cannabis.

Market participants, given the schmeissing of weed equities over the last five years, remain justifiably skeptical of the inevitability and likely short-term enactment of rescheduling. 

I am known for playing the “don’t pass line” on equities (craps reference), but in this case my money is on the “pass line.”

Come on, seven!

Things I Did Today

Here are today’s things:

* I covered most of my Index shorts:

$SPY $766.95

$QQQ 736.75

* I covered my relatively large $GRNY short at $28.02 and eliminated a small $JOET short at $45.14 .

* With $CVNA down by -$5 I sold my CVNA puts. I remain short common.

* I added to long in $MSOS at $5.09 (common) and bought a crapload of calls for October and November. Added to $GTBIF at $7.70.

* I added back to $GLD at $380.30 today — replacing what I sold on Friday (when I substantially reduced my GLD on a rally at $394.94). I got very lucky for the second time on the precious metal, remember I sold my prior position of this trading sardine at over $400 about a week ago.

* I paid $26.01 for more $WRTH long.
