The reality is that polls have been adjusted for certain missed factors from 4 years ago, and a low voter turnout, with a late trump surge against an unpopular Clinton who got a late slap from comey - pulled out an unlikely win for trump. Who narrowly won in Pennsylvania and Michigan and wiskonsin with 77k votes.
Biden is up huge right now, and he is going to win.
The markets will be fine - there will be no crash. Goldman Sachs put out a report that a democratic win would be very positive for the markets.
I'm confident it will be very positive for weed stocks as decriminalization of marijuana and passing of the states act is critical for Canadian companies to enter USA market.
there is no evidence the Republicans will pass these measures - Democrat's would do so in short order.
Im with you on regulation - it can be stifling - imagine the Canadian market and where we would be if Ontario and Quebec didn't kill the retail rollout and there weren't so many dumb restrictions and red tape.....
but the world changes and marijuana green isn't the only green the world needs...
tesla is moving into Texas and oil country is about to start making electric cars and batteries. economies need to be nimble and transform just like companies.
people will be fine. Building wind turbines, transforming buildings, installing solar roofs and panels, assembling electric cars ect ect.
last I'll say on that. Apologies for the long response.
let's hope we get all sorts of green in November - most importantly supreme green.
