What happens if you combine the Hollywood and the stock market? You get the "Jenner Effect". This week, Kylie Jenner (from the Kardashians) tweeted about how she doesn't open Snapchat anymore, and her millions of followers agreed. Investors panicked and sold off the stock worrying if a celebrity like Kylie stops using Snap, advertisers will follow suit. SNAP's stock lost $1.3 Billion or 6.3% of its market value in one day, and we anointed this phenomenon as the "Jenner Effect". Beyond the lolz of it, why is the Jenner Effect important? It reminds us that the stock market is unpredictable. It's tempting to believe you can find stock price patterns and predict when it would go up or down, but no human mind or computer algorithm can account for such Kylie's tweet. An intelligent investor is one who understands that such Jenner Effects are always plausible and unpredictable. In response, the best strategy is to only invest in well-run companies, operating in organically growing markets. Even if a Jenner Effect occurs and drags the stock price with it, the strength of the company's operations and the size of its market opportunity will lead to long-term growth. As for SNAP, the fate of the company and the stock is unclear, until it gains the operational strength required to weather such storms. The lesson for the intelligent investors is that there is no escaping from Jenner effects, but an intelligent investor can outsmart them! This week's featured Stock Card:

Happy Sunday folks! As a Canadian who lives in California, it is impossible for me not to think of marijuana stocks! Canada is on the verge of fully legalizing marijuana, and California just made recreational weed legal. No wonder why several of the most active members of our Intelligent Investors community have been researching and discussing these stocks for quite a while. Based on those detailed conversations, there are five things you need to know before picking up any cannabis stock: Pros:
Now, let's take a look at the largest producer and arguably one of the best-run cannabis companies in Canada. I recently picked up this stock for StockCard.io's league of the 10Xers portfolio, and I wanted to share its Stock Card with you:

That's it for this edition of Stock Card Weekly! They say if you forward this email to a friend it makes Warren Buffett smile a bit! Make him laugh by forwarding it to 10 friends! Them: "How are you holding up?" Me: "Pretty well! The weather has been unusually warm in San Francisco. I had some fun walking the dog..." "No, no, no, ... I mean the stock market crash? How are you holding up?" They say with a sympathetic tone. Me: "Ummm! You mean the fluctuation of the stock market that is a natural part of investing?" Them: "But the media and the headlines have been talking about the biggest point-drop in the DOW?" ... That's pretty much the gist of every single conversation I have had in the past week. I'm sure many of you have also had similar conversations. When it comes to market fluctuations, I only have one simple fact to share with you that will help you calm your nerves, and I'm paraphrasing from one of my favorite investors - David Gardner: On average, two years out of three, the stock market tends to rise; one in three years, the stock market declines. So, my fellow intelligent investors, keep calm and let the market do its thing. And, remember the financial media outlets are in the business of creating hype and panic to drive viewership. What the market has done this past week is just a part of the natural course of the stock market. It should go down so that it can go up. For this week's featured Stock Card, I'm picking a company that goes well with the declining theme of the past few days: This week's featured Stock Card:

That's it for this edition of Stock Card Weekly! Forwarding it to your friends is as delicious as buying the dip (wink wink)! Do it now! Hi folks, it's Hoda from Stock Card. Today I'm going to let you in on a secret. The last few days of this past week has caused a lot of heartaches. The stock market went down a few percentage points. I find it very timely to let you in on the secret of intelligent stock market investors. Those who invest in great businesses, based on data and facts, have a dark secret. They are the happiest when the stock market falls the most, and they secretly wish for a market crash every day! Because when you invest in a great business based on the strength of its market and operations, your dollars are backed by that company's ability to generate cash and grow. Even if the market crashes, eventually the price will go back up. This is the main difference between investing in great businesses vs. investing in other things that do not have a measurable value aside from the market demand. This week, one of those great businesses went on 'sale'... This week's featured Stock Card:
