ok gang I just need to know, what beer do you think Alfred drinks regularly?

I’m arguing PBR just cause it’s so iconically American imo more so than Coors, or Budweiser. But also maybe this is cause the version of Alfred that lives in my head rent free is has the vibes of a male manipulator who listens to dad rock and country with a sprinkling of toxic masculinity (Ik I have cursed thoughts). However I think in regards to favorite beers, Alfred is a Masshole to me so he’s gotta represent so he’s partial to a Sam Adams larger.

Also while I’m here spewing my cursed ideas, what beer do you guys think Matt drinks regularly? I think Matt’s go-to would be a Molson just cause it’s like the Canadian beer. However in terms of favorites, I think Matt is an IPA type of guy cause in my head he’s lowkey a bit of a male manipulator but in this outdoorsy Toronto hipster ass way so I think I he likes a good Amsterdam Boneshaker.

Also if you’re not a beer person, like what alcoholic drinks do you think they drink and why?

Trey Parker and Matt Stone (the creators of the controversial animated series, South Park) must be so proud because remember back in 1999 when they released his whole movie South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut and they had this song called called “blame Canada “(random disclaimer: this following post is not a entire diss towards every Canadian in the world or the Canadians who are currently living in Canada, I’m just saying that some people from Canada are not good people)

"Blame Canada" is a satirical song from the 1999 animated film South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, written by Trey Parker and Marc Shaiman. The song satirizes scapegoating and parents who fail to control "their children's consumption of popular culture", with the fictional South Park parents, led by Sheila Broflovski (Mary Kay Bergman), blaming the nation for children imitating the Terrance and Phillip film Asses of Fire.

The song was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 72nd Academy Awards (1999). This created controversy because all nominated songs are traditionally performed during the Oscar broadcast, but the song contained the word fuck, which the FCC prohibits using in prime time broadcasts. At the awards ceremony, comedian Robin Williams performed the song with a chorus that gasped when the word was to be sung (Williams turned around at the crucial moment and did not actually sing it). He included digs at Margaret Trudeau and Bryan Adams, partially taken from lyrics of Sheila Broflovski's reprise of the song in "La Resistance". He referenced Celine Dion as well. Mary Kay Bergman, the voice actress who sang the female parts in the song, died months before the performance, forcing the organizers to search for a replacement for her and Trey Parker, who did the male voices. Williams introduced the song by speaking with duct tape over his mouth so that his speech resembled that of Kenny McCormick, then tearing it off and finally saying Stan Marsh's trademark line, "Oh my god! They killed Kenny!"

There was also some concern about the fact the song referred to well-known Canadian singer Anne Murray as a "bitch", but Murray indicated that she was not offended by the tongue-in-cheek lyric (Murray was invited to sing the song herself on the Oscar telecast but had to decline due to a prior commitment). When asked, the Canadian Consul General(and former prime minister) Kim Campbell said that she was not offended by the song since it was clearly a silly satirical piece and not intended to insult her country. This is made clear in the final line of the song:

We must blame them and cause a fuss. Before somebody thinks of blaming us!

Coincidentally, the Canadian Oscar telecast in which Williams sang the song included the premiere of the Molson Canadian "I Am Canadian" rant advertisement, which counters many perceived Canadian stereotypes. (Btw The song lost to Phil Collins' song "You'll Be in My Heart" from Tarzan, another great soundtrack song btw )

Come to think of it “not like us” is basically the “blame Canada “ of the 2020s

"Not Like Us" has been described by journalists as a cultural touchstone, a clarion call for the West Coast, and one of the biggest diss tracks they have witnessed in their lifetimes. They considered the timing of its release and content an effective strategy in capturing the zeitgeist before listeners grew tired of the feud. Canadian outlets such as CBC News and Exclaim! opined that "Not Like Us" has grown into an anti-Canadian anthem reminiscent of "Blame Canada" from South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999).Uproxx's Wongo Okon noted it helped Lamar become a more appealing figure for Generation Z and Generation Alpha listeners.

Feeling chauvinistic I fear

The global chip shortage has come for iPads and Macs What’s happening: Apple (AAPL) just had a massive quarter thanks to sales of new iPhones, iPads and MacBooks, with revenue nearly hitting $90 billion. Sales of iPhones reached nearly $48 billion, a 65% increase over the same quarter last year, as consumers continued shelling out the big bucks to upgrade to Apple’s first 5G smartphone lineup. But that wave of demand is now coming up against major supply chain issues resulting from the pandemic. In a call with analysts, Apple Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri said that the company expects revenue will be $3 billion to $4 billion lower this quarter thanks to “supply constraints.” That includes problems procuring chips, which are expected to affect the production of iPad and Macs. “We’ll have some challenges in there, and challenges in meeting the demand that we’ve got,” CEO Tim Cook said on the call. Apple shares are still up nearly 3% in premarket trading. Remember: Carmakers were among the first to sound the alarm about a shortage of microchips, which forced companies including General Motors (GM), Hyundai (HYMTF), Ford (F) and Fiat Chrysler (FCAU) to temporarily shut down plants. On Wednesday, Ford warned that the chip shortage will get worse before it gets better, and will likely cut 2021 profits by about $2.5 billion. Now, even top tech companies are dealing with the fallout. Samsung (SSNLF) told analysts on its earnings call Thursday that it’s working hard to rebalance production to reduce shortages of semiconductors and other key parts, which could weigh on sales of products like smartphones. Big picture: While the pain has spread from autos to consumer electronics, it won’t stop there. In a research note published last week, Goldman Sachs said that 169 US industries embed semiconductors in their products. The bank said its “working assumption” is that there will be a 20% average shortfall of computer chips for those affected. The problem isn’t going away anytime soon. “Because of the proprietary technologies, specialized machinery, and economics of scale needed to produce any given type of computer chip or component — and because many of the mature facilities are already operating near full capacity — the imbalance is likely to persist into the fall and possibly into 2022,” the bank’s analysts wrote. Investor insight: Wall Street is tracking how shortages could hurt corporate earnings, but it’s also trying to puzzle out what they mean for inflation, which is being closely monitored by central banks. A reduction in supply, as fewer cars and tablets are produced, could contribute to higher prices. Goldman Sachs thinks the price of affected products could rise by 0.7% to 3% this year, providing a “temporary” boost to inflation readings. Biden at 100 days: Hottest stock market since JFK The Biden bust that the Trump campaign warned of has morphed into a Biden boom, my CNN Business colleague Matt Egan reports. See here: The S&P 500 is up 8.6% since the market close on Jan. 20, the final day of the Trump presidency. That means President Joe Biden is on track for the strongest stock market performance during a new president’s first 100 days since John F. Kennedy in 1961, according to CFRA Research. The Biden rally squeaks past the 8.4% jump during the first 100 days of the Obama presidency and is well above the 5% increase in the months following former President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Friday will mark Biden’s 100th full day in office, not counting Inauguration Day. Presidents tend to get more credit — and more blame — than they deserve when it comes to the stock market’s performance. Still, the historic gains at the start of the Biden era add to a sense of optimism about America’s recovery from a once-in-a-century pandemic. “If the stock market is any indication, Wall Street appears to approve of President Biden’s attempts to corral the Covid-19 crisis and stimulate the economy,” Sam Stovall, CFRA’s chief investment strategist, told CNN Business. Remember: The US stock market recovered from the pandemic long before the election, boosted by unprecedented support from the Federal Reserve and Congress. Markets gathered momentum last fall as election chaos scenarios were avoided. Wall Street, like Main Street, cheered vaccine breakthrough announcements in November that helped fuel the Dow’s best month since January 1987. Stocks have continued to rally in 2021 as the rapid rollout of vaccines raises hopes for an economic boom. History suggests the stock market has a good chance of finishing the year in the green. Since 1932, only once did the S&P 500 end the year in the red after rising during the first 100 days of a presidential term, according to Randy Frederick, vice president of trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab. But that will require investors to continue to shrug off concerns about the virus, inflation and higher taxes. In a speech before a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, Biden reiterated his intention to raise taxes on the wealthy to pay for trillions of dollars in fresh spending on infrastructure and education. “It’s time for corporate America and the wealthiest 1% of Americans to pay their fair share,” he said. The Declaration of Independence is going public A copy of the Declaration of Independence will hit the sizzling collectibles market just in time for the Fourth of July — and unlike other rare items up for sale, you don’t have to be a millionaire to own a piece of it. Rally, a trading app for classic cars, baseball cards and other memorabilia, will next month offer 80,000 shares to the public of a copy of the Declaration of Independence printed in July 1776. The item is one of just 20 copies from that period that are in private hands. It was previously displayed at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. Each share will cost just $25, making it a $2 million initial public offering. The IPO comes during a surge of interest in collectibles, with everything from art to sneakers to sports cards skyrocketing in value. A LeBron James rookie card sold for a record $5.2 million earlier this week. And the explosion of digital certificates for art and collectibles known as non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, has been grabbing headlines. The rush has been triggered in part by central bank policy, which Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated Wednesday was not changing any time soon. With interest rates at rock bottom, investors are looking for ever more creative places to park their cash. “People are trying to get protection from the debasement of their dollars,” said Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at Bleakley Advisory Group. “They want to be in things with limited supply and that have the perception of value in the eyes of many.” Up next Altria (MO), Carlyle Group (CG), Caterpillar (CAT), Comcast (CCZ), Domino’s Pizza (DMPZF), Hershey Foods (HSY), Kraft Heinz (KHC), Mastercard (MA), McDonald’s (MCD), Merck (MKGAF) and Molson Coors (TAP) report results before US markets open.

this trade keeps fucking me up i don't know what to think

[goldira01]

In the space of less than two years, cannabis stocks have lost billions in market value. Many of the nascent industry’s top players have lost half their market value or more. Leading Canadian cannabis stock Canopy Growth has plunged by a whopping 63% over the last year. The largest industry ETF, the ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF, has lost 62%.

Despite some improved results from marijuana cultivators, such as Aurora Cannabis, reporting significantly, there is further pain ahead for cannabis investors. While the budding global legal marijuana industry is here to stay, it won’t be exactly how industry pundits postulated it would be.

Cannabis stocks facing headwinds

The global cannabis industry is undergoing a massive rationalization. Similar to what occurred after the dotcom bubble burst in 2000, that will see many cannabis companies fall by the wayside; they’ll either be acquired by larger competitors or cease to be going concerns. It is those cannabis companies with weak balance sheets that are bleeding red ink that are the most vulnerable.

That vulnerability is being magnified by the coronavirus pandemic, which has forced the closure of many dispensaries. The pandemic is also making it even more difficult for marijuana companies to access capital in an industry starved of funding.

There are also signs that the global legal cannabis market is not as large as originally believed. Some analysts put the total market value at somewhere around US$40 billion by the end of 2023. The expansion of world demand for legal cannabis and derivative products is threatened by the reluctance of many jurisdictions to fully legalize its medical and recreational use.

This bodes poorly for the earnings of cannabis stocks, which is a bad omen for an industry struggling with profitability.

Will this cannabis stock survive?

The challenging operating environment that now exists saw cultivator HEXO (TSX:HEXO)(NYSE:HEXO) flag in its second-quarter 2020 results that it lacked the financial resources to remain a going concern. Consequently, HEXO was pounded by the market, losing a whopping 92% over the last year. There could very well be worse ahead for the cannabis cultivator.

For its fiscal second quarter 2020, HEXO reported a $298 million net loss, which was around 75 times greater than its $4 million net loss a year earlier. That was despite revenue from sales soaring 47% year over year to almost $24 million. The large loss can be blamed on significant impairment charges against HEXO’s intangible assets and goodwill, which totalled $218 million for the quarter.

A culmination of ongoing losses and concerns over liquidity saw HEXO management issues a statement warning that the business may not remain as a going concern, unless it could raise additional funds. HEXO flagged that it lacked enough capital to meet funding requirements for debt, operations, and working capital requirements.

Since those results, HEXO tapped the market for $46 million through a full subscribed equity offering. While that gives HEXO some breathing room, it hasn’t solved the underlying problems: a lack of profitability and high rate of cash burn. HEXO does find itself in the enviable position of having the backing of brewer Molson Coors, which will help to ensure its survival.

Foolish takeaway

Cannabis stocks aren’t for faint-hearted investors. The industry’s ongoing problems, mostly related to a distinct lack of profitability, means there is a reckoning ahead for many marijuana cultivators. For these reasons, it is best to avoid Canadian cannabis stocks.

CANTLON: TAFT RHINOS RUN OVER GUNNERY HIGHLANDERS

BY: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings WATERTOWN, CT - The Taft Rhinos scored four goals in a wild six-goal second period at home at the Odden Arena to slip past the Gunnery (Washington) Highlanders 5-3 on Monday evening. In the first period, Zach Tonelli (Armonk, NY) was at the right side of the net and knocked in the rebound of Tristan Fasig’s (Sherman) shot at 13:52 for the 1-0 lead. Gunnery scored two early goals and looked as if it would be a long early evening for Taft. 46 seconds into the second stanza, Matteo Giampa (Virgil, Ontario) was on the right-wing and took a feed from David Andreychuk (no relation to the former NHL’er) putting it past Mikey Roberts (Wilton). At 4:48, the Gunnery was on the power play and saw the Highlanders win the draw and get the puck got back to Samuel Logan at the left point, but his shot was stopped. The Highlanders' Matt D’Agostino (North Branford) and a UCONN commit next season, sent a short pass to Alexander Jefferies (a Merrimack HE commit) and a right-handed shot in the left-wing circle. Jeffries put a perfect shot under the crossbar and over Roberts' right shoulder and the Highlanders seemed to have the game in control at 2-1 and were about to pull away. But that began a wild remaining 13 minutes and 12 seconds. Taft’s Nick Cullinan scooted up the left-wing took a superb cross-ice pass from Tonelli and beat Gunnery goalie, Carmine Andranovich, to the far side and low at 5:53 to tie the game at two. Taft would the lead at 3-2 when Tonelli, who was in traffic, pushed a backhander past Adranovich at 8:17 for his third point of the game. The two teams pushed hard to break the tie. Gunnery’s Dane Dowiak (Wexford, PA), a Penn State commit in two years, was on one short-handed situation had three quality chances all stopped by Roberts. Just 21 seconds after that, D’Agostino would have another one from off the left-wing. The last chance set off a wild series of events. On a turnover, Gunnery had a two-on-zero short-handed breakaway and D’Agostino elected to take a shot from twenty-feet out and it missed the net. The puck went around the boards and off Taft went in transition. Nikita Kovalev (Greenwich) was on the right-wing and got the feed from his center, Thomas Ricciardelli (New Canaan), at 14:33 deposited the puck into the back of the net to take a 4-2 lead. In the third period, Taft set up a strong defense to clog the middle on the freewheeling Highlanders as Bobby Barrasso, Conor Colucci (Fairfield), and Kovalev did a strong job. Tristan Fasig nearly got the two-goal lead but were stopped. Then at 13:50, D’Agostino nearly got it for Gunnery with a great shot opportunity dead center fifteen-feet out missed the net again. Gunnery followed with a late power play and executed it perfectly after taking a timeout. Off a draw, the puck was corralled. Dowiak was at the left point and sent a short pass over to Andreychuk deep in the right corner just outside of the faceoff circle. Then he put a pass along the ice that Giampa tallied his second of the game with a perfect redirect that Roberts had no chance on at 15:46 and narrowed the Taft lead to 4-3. Taft’s Colucci made two strong defensive plays in the final minute of play, first a block and then got to a loose puck and got it out of the zone that kept Gunnery at bay. Ed Rayhill (New Hartford, NY) at the top of the left-wing circle was the Highlanders had the last best chance with 35.2 seconds left that Roberts turned away before the Rhinos Henry Molson closed out the scoring with an empty netter with 11.4 seconds left. Taft’s record goes to 3-6-0 and they at Westminster (Simsbury) Wednesday at 2:30 pm. Gunnery’s record (7-3-1) plays Hoosac School (Hoosick, NY) at home on Thursday at 4:00 pm. NOTES: Two former Wolf Pack players were among the NHL three stars. Defenseman Tony D’Angelo had a sterling five-point effort against Colorado and goalie Cam Talbot now on the other side of the Battle of Alberta helped Calgary in a 4-3 win Saturday for the Flames vaulting them into first place. Current Wolf Pack Phil Di Giuseppe recalled Sunday and captain Steven Fogarty reassigned to Hartford was scratched from last night’s 6-2 win over the Islanders. Read the full article

THC-Infused Seltzers Taking Off in Colorado?

THC-Infused Seltzers Reportedly Using Water-Soluble Cannabis – LPC

One of the American homes for beer is also trying to become the king of THC-infused seltzers. Ska Brewing in Durango, Colorado and Left Hand Brewing in Longmont, Colorado are both developing cannabis beverages to rival beer. This article buries the lede a bit, casually mentioning that Ska Brewing’s sister company Oh Hi uses water-soluble THC. If that’s true, it could be a huge step in the canna-beverage market. One of the knocks against cannabis beverages has been taste. One journalist and cannabis enthusiast compared it to “bong water”. The reason is that THC does not mix well with water. However, Ska Brewing’s THC-infused “seltzers” (or carbonated beverages – like pop), if water soluble, would presumably not have that taste. The article also suggests that THC-infused seltzers may be seen as a complementary product to beer, not a competing one. “I think the beer industry is a little more open arms, it’s becoming that way,” said Matt Vincent. He should know: he’s co-owner of both Ska Brewing and Oh Hi, which produces THC-infused seltzers. In practice, Oh Hi is a parternship between the brewing company and Durango Organics. “Being on both sides of the table, I see a lot of similarities. I see every reason why they should come together.”

Jury Still Out on Canna-Beverages – LPC

Taste isn’t the only thing canna-beverages struggles with. The delayed effects combined with the fact that you need to be careful how fast you drink them are also drawbacks. THC-infused seltzers likely won’t solve those problems. But that’s not going to stop companies from trying. In Canada, Province Brands announced a cannabis-brewed beer that will be available when cannabis edibles are legalized later in 2019, they say. In the US, the Beverage Trade Network in San Francisco focused on cannabis beverages as the next frontier. Big names such as Molson Coors and Coca-Cola have been connected with possible future cannabis beverages. The real test for THC-infused seltzers and all cannabis beverages will of course be the consumer market.

Don’t Bet on Cannabis Stocks

Don’t Bet on Cannabis Stocks:

In the space of less than two years, cannabis stocks have lost billions in market value. Many of the nascent industry’s top players have lost half their market value or more. Leading Canadian cannabis stock Canopy Growth has plunged by a whopping 63% over the last year. The largest industry ETF, the ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF, has lost 62%.

Despite some improved results from marijuana cultivators, such as Aurora Cannabis, reporting significantly, there is further pain ahead for cannabis investors. While the budding global legal marijuana industry is here to stay, it won’t be exactly how industry pundits postulated it would be.

Cannabis stocks facing headwinds

The global cannabis industry is undergoing a massive rationalization. Similar to what occurred after the dotcom bubble burst in 2000, that will see many cannabis companies fall by the wayside; they’ll either be acquired by larger competitors or cease to be going concerns. It is those cannabis companies with weak balance sheets that are bleeding red ink that are the most vulnerable.

That vulnerability is being magnified by the coronavirus pandemic, which has forced the closure of many dispensaries. The pandemic is also making it even more difficult for marijuana companies to access capital in an industry starved of funding.

There are also signs that the global legal cannabis market is not as large as originally believed. Some analysts put the total market value at somewhere around US$40 billion by the end of 2023. The expansion of world demand for legal cannabis and derivative products is threatened by the reluctance of many jurisdictions to fully legalize its medical and recreational use.

This bodes poorly for the earnings of cannabis stocks, which is a bad omen for an industry struggling with profitability.

Will this cannabis stock survive?

The challenging operating environment that now exists saw cultivator HEXO (TSX:HEXO)(NYSE:HEXO) flag in its second-quarter 2020 results that it lacked the financial resources to remain a going concern. Consequently, HEXO was pounded by the market, losing a whopping 92% over the last year. There could very well be worse ahead for the cannabis cultivator.

For its fiscal second quarter 2020, HEXO reported a $298 million net loss, which was around 75 times greater than its $4 million net loss a year earlier. That was despite revenue from sales soaring 47% year over year to almost $24 million. The large loss can be blamed on significant impairment charges against HEXO’s intangible assets and goodwill, which totalled $218 million for the quarter.

A culmination of ongoing losses and concerns over liquidity saw HEXO management issues a statement warning that the business may not remain as a going concern, unless it could raise additional funds. HEXO flagged that it lacked enough capital to meet funding requirements for debt, operations, and working capital requirements.

Since those results, HEXO tapped the market for $46 million through a full subscribed equity offering. While that gives HEXO some breathing room, it hasn’t solved the underlying problems: a lack of profitability and high rate of cash burn. HEXO does find itself in the enviable position of having the backing of brewer Molson Coors, which will help to ensure its survival.

Foolish takeaway

Cannabis stocks aren’t for faint-hearted investors. The industry’s ongoing problems, mostly related to a distinct lack of profitability, means there is a reckoning ahead for many marijuana cultivators. For these reasons, it is best to avoid Canadian cannabis stocks.
