Best Canadian Stocks To Invest In 2019

tags:CMG,BRD,THO,CNI,

Canada is, without question, one of the most important cannabis markets on the planet. Its recreational marijuana market opens up nationwide in October, and the biggest marijuana stocks in the world are all based in Canada. But some investors might be overlooking another even more important cannabis market right under their noses -- the U.S.

This year, the U.S. is expected to generate more than 85% of total global marijuana sales. While that percentage will likely decrease as the Canadian recreational cannabis market and medical cannabis markets in Europe grow, the U.S. still is probably going to make up three-quarters of total global marijuana sales well into the next decade.

Marijuana remains illegal at the federal level in the U.S., but that hasn't stopped companies from making headway in the states that have legalized either medical or recreational marijuana. Most of these companies are very small, but not all of them. 

Three marijuana stocks that target the U.S. cannabis market that claim the biggest market caps are Scotts Miracle-Gro (NYSE:SMG), MedMen Enterprises (NASDAQOTH:MMNFF), and MariMed (NASDAQOTH:MRMD). Here's what you need to know about these three U.S.-based marijuana stocks.

  We have you covered. This week, we did our digging into the numbers, and we have found three stocks that could surge 80% or more in the months ahead. Let's dig into them as the market opens… right here.

  The Top Stock Market Stories for Thursday A leaked report from a Chinese government think tank warned of "financial panic" across the country. In addition to concerns about the ongoing trade battle with the United States, the National Institution for Finance & Development warned about the ongoing use of leverage in the stock market. The think tank argued that China's central bank must be ready to step in and support the nation's markets (the Shanghai Composite is off 20% since January) in the event of a liquidity crisis. This morning, the U.S. Department of Commerce said that Q1 gross domestic product (GDP) growth slowed far more than analysts had expected. During January through March, we saw the weakest levels of consumer spending in roughly five years. GDP clocked in at just 2.0%, a downturn from the 2.2% reported by the agency last month. Markets appear to believe that the economy has rebounded during the second quarter thanks in part to the massive tax cuts in January. However, ongoing trade tensions and increasing uncertainty around the globe could potentially spur a panic at any time. In 2018, major telecom carriers will begin rolling out 5G networks across the country, and the development could be one of the biggest ever. This technological leap is creating some incredible profit opportunities for tech stocks. According to Swedish network equipment manufacturer Ericsson ADR (Nasdaq: ERIC), new 5G-related features could produce as much as $1.3 trillion annually in additional revenue for carriers by 2026. Just imagine how much money you could make if you get in early and invest right now in the top 5G stocks. It would be a fortune. Today, we show you the undervalued stock that is going to lead this revolution, and it could make you rich. M
