The author calls the Innovative Industrial Properties Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (IIPR-PA) the best cannabis stock for dividend investors. IIPR is a REIT that owns 108 properties in 19 states and leases them to licensed U.S. cannabis operators under long-term triple-net leases. The common stock's 14.5% forward yield is seen as unsustainable given a payout ratio of about 172% and insufficient free cash flow, while the preferred yields about 9.3% and its cumulative feature requires missed preferred dividends to be paid before common dividends resume. Key risks include tenants failing to pay rent and heavy reliance on a small group of its 37 tenants for half of rental revenue. The author sees it as suited to aggressive income investors rather than conservative ones.

- I Just Bought More Realty Income (O) Stock. Here's How Many Shares It Takes to Collect $1,000 a Month.
The author bought six more Realty Income (O) shares, bringing the holding to 113, and calculates that about 3,583 shares would be needed to earn roughly $1,000 in monthly dividends, a position worth over $206,250 at the recent $56 share price. Realty Income currently pays $0.2715 per share each month, its 676th consecutive monthly dividend over more than 56 years, with a recent yield of about 5.8%. The author points to the REIT's diversified portfolio of long-term net-leased properties, its A-rated balance sheet and nearly $1 billion in annual adjusted free cash flow as support for the dividend. He treats it as a core income holding to anchor his retirement, while acknowledging he will probably never reach $1,000 a month from this stock alone.
- Trump's Marijuana Order Is Stuck at the DEA. Here's What That Means for Canopy Growth.
Last December, President Trump signed Executive Order 14370 to speed up the rescheduling of marijuana to Schedule III, lifting Canopy Growth shares from $1.15 to nearly $2 before they gave back those gains. On Sept. 29, DEA Chief Administrative Judge Derek C. Julius stayed the rescheduling process pending a briefing on a GAO report, and after the DEA's Oct. 9 response he granted another stay so opposing parties could reply. The article argues that Canopy's larger challenges are the Canadian recreational market, persistent operating losses, and the risk of further dilution through its $200 million at-the-market equity program, which calls its $300 million valuation into question.
- President Trump's Push to Reschedule Marijuana Hit a Snag. Is Green Thumb Still a Buy?
Moving marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III is being delayed by a Government Accountability Office report, as opponents seek to add the report, more testimony and documents to the administrative record. The DEA does not object to including the report, but the additional requests could postpone a final decision. For Green Thumb Industries (GTBIF), rescheduling could remove the federal tax burden under Section 280E, which bars deductions for ordinary operating expenses. Even so, the company generated $29 million in operating cash flow in Q2 2026, with revenue of $306.7 million, normalized EBITDA of $84.3 million and net income of $4.9 million. Q2 gross margin fell to 45% from 49.9% a year earlier, while the company repurchased about 29.5 million shares for $203.4 million.
- History Says This Is Hands-Down the Best ETF to Buy if a Bear Market Is Coming
The S&P 500 is up about 15% year to date, but many investors fear a bear market because of higher bond yields, the Fed's fight against stubborn inflation and heavy borrowing by big tech for AI. In 2022, the Nasdaq-100 fell about 32.4% and the S&P 500 about 18.1%, while energy, utilities, healthcare and consumer staples held up better. The article suggests the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) as a defensive option, with 102 holdings, only 9.23% in information technology, and about 20.7% in healthcare, 20.4% in consumer staples and 14.1% in energy. Its top holdings include Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble and Merck, and the fund has delivered annualized returns of about 13.1% since its October 2011 inception.
- Aurora Cannabis Stock Has Soared 25% Since Curaleaf First Made an Offer to Buy Its Business. Here's Why I Think It Can Go Even Higher
Aurora Cannabis (ACB) shares have risen about 25% since Curaleaf Holdings first announced plans in August to acquire the company. Curaleaf has since raised its offer from $4 to $5, a mix of cash and stock, and launched a hostile takeover after private negotiations stalled. Aurora urged shareholders to take no action while a special committee reviews the bid, and said they will not need to decide before December 4 or later. The stock has fallen 94% over the past five years, and its market cap is around $280 million. The author believes Curaleaf's interest in Aurora's international business could lead to higher bids, but warns the stock could drop quickly if Curaleaf withdraws.

- Duong Son Ba Arrested, Hai Phong Thermal Power Loses Lawsuit and Must Pay VND 115 Billion to Partner
Hai Phong Thermal Power (HND) disclosed an appellate ruling in a coal supply dispute with Dan Ka Mineral, under which the court accepted the plaintiff's appeal and ordered the company to pay nearly VND 115 billion, including a coal price difference of over VND 80.15 billion and interest of over VND 34.65 billion. The dispute stems from a 2021 contract, with disagreement over price adjustments after global coal prices rose sharply in 2022. Duong Son Ba, the company's general director, was arrested on 21 May 2026 over alleged forgery of documents of an agency or organisation, and the board dismissed him from the post on 13 October, with no successor yet announced. In the first half of 2026, the company reported net revenue of nearly VND 6,081 billion, up 8%, and after-tax profit of over VND 508 billion, up nearly 25%.
- Iran threatens to use the 'father of all missiles' to strike adversaries' energy facilities
Major General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, senior adviser to the IRGC commander, said at a rally in Sari on October 18 that Iran has prepared the most advanced missiles and will respond to any aggression. He warned that energy infrastructure and investments belonging to powers Tehran deems aggressive in the region could fall within Iranian missile range. His remarks answered US President Donald Trump's threat to use the GBU-43/B MOAB, often called the 'mother of all bombs' and weighing about 14 tons, against Iran's energy infrastructure and nuclear sites. Naqdi said Iran also possesses these bombs, having seized some that failed to detonate in the 12-day war, and called Trump's impatience a 'public admission of defeat'.
- Strategy on verge of golden cross, just weeks after bitcoin flashed same bullish signal
Strategy (MSTR) is about to form a golden cross, when its 50-day average rises above its 200-day average, possibly as early as Monday, just weeks after bitcoin showed the same bullish signal. The company holds $69.81 billion in bitcoin, and its stock has had two earlier golden crosses followed by big rallies: from $15.57 in September 2020 to $127.29 by February 2021, a 717% gain, and from $25.29 on March 2, 2023 to a peak of $473.83 in November 2024, up 1,774%. The article stresses the signal is unreliable, though: since 1999 MSTR has had 19 golden crosses, and only 10 were followed by a higher price 12 months later, a 50% hit rate, with a median 12-month return of just 3.3%. The two worst cases, in 2001 and 2007, were followed by a 61% loss.
- Director of the HCMC Institute of Economics, Natural Resources and Environment: Four major corporations have raised plans to invest in Vietnam, but pulled back when asked about power capacity
At a seminar co-organized by Tien Phong newspaper and the HCMC Department of Construction on October 16, TS. Phạm Viết Thuận said the city should treat infrastructure as an integrated system rather than focusing only on transport. He argued that 11 main and 13 secondary infrastructure categories, including power, water drainage, industrial zones and logistics, need to be synchronized for the city to develop its economy. To address flooding, he proposed surveying 159 flood-prone points and building ecological lakes at major spots. He also noted that four large corporations had considered investing in Vietnam but withdrew when asked about grid power capacity. Department director Trần Quang Lâm said capital mobilization and land policy need further study, while traffic congestion, flooding and pollution remain the city’s top priorities.
- Live updates: Bitcoin tags $83,000 and slips back as chip stocks lead a rebound
Bitcoin climbed from an overnight low near $80,700 to just above $83,000 early Monday, then slipped back to about $82,400 as sellers stepped in, and was up 0.3% over 24 hours. The bounce followed tech stocks, with Nasdaq 100 futures up 1.1%, snapping a weeklong 5.5% selloff, and an ETF tracking chipmakers jumping 3%. WTI crude recovered to $98.55 after touching $96.72, as the U.S. warned citizens across 12 Middle East locations of possible flight cancellations and airspace closures, raising fears of fresh strikes on Iran and disruption at the Strait of Hormuz. In Europe, the Stoxx 600 fell 0.8% after protests in France. Bitcoin would need to move through $84,000, its ceiling on October 13 and 14, to signal that the tech rebound is lifting it too.
- Baystreet . ca - When Might October Nasdaq Correction End ?
The Nasdaq Composite (QQQ ETF) is 6.96% below its 52-week high after falling 5.52% last week, close to the 10% threshold for a technical correction. The article says high oil prices, sustained by Iran's control of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, keep September CPI and PPI rising, and that Iran wants higher oil prices to hurt the Republican Party before the midterm elections, so the correction in beaten-down stocks may continue. CoreWeave (CRWV) lost 25.21% last week, closing just 3% above its yearly low, while bears holding a 17% short float bet its $50 billion debt is unsustainable. Nebius (NBIS) fell 25% and Twilio (TWLO) dropped 15.6%, while Autodesk (ADSK), Salesforce (CRM) and Adobe (ADBE) drew buying. The article suggests volatility may ease after the midterms.
