Given that the company had $97 million in sales in 2019, this would suggest a P/S valuation multiple of 36x.

Reserve promised to keep its support in place, though another rise in global bond yields and the dollar showed not everyone was convinced.</p>\n<p>MSCI's 50-country world index was near record highs after the Fed, which had also predicted bumper U.S. growth, had lifted Wall Street and Asia overnight , and Europe opened with Germany's DAX at a record high.</p>\n<p>For traders worried about it all being snuffed out by rising borrowing costs, though, euro zone government bond yields were already tracking upward moves in benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasuries as they climbed to a 13-month high of 1.74%.</p>\n<p>That also revitalised the dollar, which had briefly dropped to a two-week low after the Fed had pushed back against speculation it could be starting to think about interest rate hikes.</p>\n<p>The U.S. central bank sees the economy growing 6.5% this year, which would be the largest jump since 1984. Inflation is expected to exceed its preferred level of 2% to 2.4%, although it is expected to drop back in subsequent years.</p>\n<p>\"I don't know what the Fed can do to stop a rise in yields that is based on stronger fundamentals,\" said BCA chief global fixed income strategist Rob Robis, pointing to the $1.9 trillion U.S. stimulus package that will drive growth.</p>\n<p>\"The path of least resistance is still towards higher yields,\" he said. \"The U.S. Treasury market leads the world and every bond market responds.\"</p>\n<p>Another day of central bank action was in store too.</p>\n<p>The Bank of Japan and Bank of England&nbsp;are both meeting, Norway signalled a possible hike this year and in emerging markets Turkey's central bank was facing a crucial test of confidence after a torrid month for the lira.</p>\n<p>The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of its peers, rose as much as 0.4% to 91.671. It had dropped to 91.300 after Wednesday's Fed meeting.</p>\n<p>That eased the euro back to $1.19505 from a <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-week high of $1.19900. Against the yen, the dollar gained 0.3% to 109.120 yen .</p>\n<p>The British pound traded flat at $1.3963. The Bank of England is expected to keep its benchmark Bank Rate at a historic low of 0.1% and its bond-buying programme unchanged at 895 billion pounds.</p>\n<p>\"Similar to what we've seen from the Fed, the Bank of England will talk up their prospects of the economy relative to where we've been, but at the same time emphasize that we're still a long way from full recovery,\" said Rodrigo Catril, senior currency strategist at National Australia Bank in Sydney.</p>\n<p>The Australian dollar rose to a two-week high of $0.7849</p>\n<p>after data showed the nation's economy created more than twice as many jobs as expected in February. . Its New Zealand counterpart lost momentum, however, after the country posted a surprise contraction in fourth-quarter GDP.</p>\n<p><b>INFLATION PALPITATIONS</b></p>\n<p>Overnight, Asia-Pacific shares excluding those in Japan&nbsp;rose 0.8%. Stocks in China&nbsp;rose the same.

The bank's seasonality analysis is based on data going back to 1928.\nOn top of that, April is the second best month behind July in terms of average return, and the second best month behind December in terms of the percentage of time up, according to BofA.\nFrom a technical perspective, BofA highlights big picture levels on the S&P 500, based on a bullish cup and handle pattern formed last year. A cup and handle often resembles a cup, formed by a basing pattern that typically looks like a \"U,\" followed by a handle that is formed by a short-term down trend. This pattern usually extends an uptrend that is already in place.\nBofA's 4,270 price target on the S&P 500 is based on a measured move of the depth of the cup formed in March of 2020 and the eventual breakout later in July.\nAlso favoring continued upside for the S&P 500 is new highs in Advance/Decline line, which indicates that underlying market breadth is strong. The Advance/Decline line measures the difference of stocks that are moving higher or lower on a daily basis.\n\"A bullish A-D line sets up the S&P 500 for a breakout above 3,950 - 3,960 that would favor upside to 4,065 next with the 2020 cup and handle target at 4,270,\" BofA said.\nAnd if the S&P 500 does falter, investors should look to big picture support levels at 3,700, 3,550, and 3,200, BofA highlighted.\nBank of America","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":246,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":324132337,"gmtCreate":1615972824929,"gmtModify":1704789110298,"author":{"id":"3574311751638468","authorId":"3574311751638468","name":"Wesley1992","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d969b7f80ab74be82071eb3266dfd02d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574311751638468","authorIdStr":"3574311751638468"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/324132337","repostId":"1115896438","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1115896438","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1615970581,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1115896438?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-17 16:43","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tilray: Wait A Little Longer","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1115896438","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nValuation still high prior to Aphria merger.\nHigher interest rates have hurt growth names.\n","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Valuation still high prior to Aphria merger.</li>\n <li>Higher interest rates have hurt growth names.</li>\n <li>Another meaningful capital raise likely needed.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If you like roller coasters, then Canadian cannabis firm Tilray (TLRY) is definitely a stock for you.

There is certainly potential for this name in the long term if it can approach $2 billion in annual revenues while getting closer to overall profitability and positive free cash flow, but we're not anywhere near that point right now. Perhaps six months from now the name will look a bit different once synergies start to kick in and the balance sheet is in better shape assuming a large capital raise happens.</p>\n<p>While Tilray shares have lost more than half of their value from their second major run recently, I don't think investors should jump in just yet.

Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans.

We expect this ratio to improve further to 79% in 2021, 69.2% in 2022, and 57.2% in 2025. The bulk of the improvements in operating expenses is coming from lower SG&amp;A and R&amp;D expenses as a percentage of revenues in the next five years.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c019cc86f4d4c1d9ffe15d3b4a4bfa75\" tg-width=\"772\" tg-height=\"480\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ef629be32d2c34d625cb287ad648206d\" tg-width=\"757\" tg-height=\"488\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b9561a02993fbc88c2cad88e68c08730\" tg-width=\"920\" tg-height=\"485\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><b>Company Background</b></p><p>At the end of 2020, Zhihu had more than 43.1 million cumulative content creators that contributed 315 million questions and answers. In 4Q 2020, the company had 75.7 million average monthly active users, up 33% YoY. One of the key strengths of the company is that it is recognized as one of the most trustworthy online content communities and regarded as providing one of the highest quality content in China. Zhihu has tried to capitalize on its large user base to provide numerous multimedia functions including live streaming, e-commerce, online education, and other video content.</p><p>In August 2019, Zhihu received $434 million in funding from leading investors including Baidu and Kuaishou Technology, valuing the company at $3.5 billion. Given that the company had $97 million in sales in 2019, this would suggest a P/S valuation multiple of 36x. If we take the same P/S multiple apply to the company's 2020 sales of $207 million, this would suggest an implied valuation of $7.5 billion.</p><p>Zhihu was originally developed as a question and answer online community in 2010. At the end of 2020, there were a total of 315 million Q&amp;As spanning more than 1,000 verticals and 571,000 topics.

The China-based online content company offered 55 million ADS in the IPO to raise $522.5 million, while the pricing valued the company at about $5.31 billion.Zhihu has a similar business model as Quora where millions of people ask questions and exchange their views and experiences. Zhihu has become the largest online question and answer community in China.Sales BreakdownAdvertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. We estimate advertising as a percentage of revenues to gradually decline in the next five years as it is offset by the faster growing Paid Memberships and Content Commerce Solutions. We estimate advertising as a percentage of sales to decline to 34.1% in 2021 and 22.3% in 2025.Paid Memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. We have assumed Paid Membership revenues as a percentage of total revenues to increase to 31.5% in 2021 and 37.8% in 2025.Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans. We have assumed Content Commerce Solutions as a percentage of total revenue to jump from 10% in 2020 to 17.8% in 2021 and 32.3% in 2025.Gross MarginsThe company's gross margins improved from 46.6% in 2019 to 56.0% in 2020, driven by an overall improving business scalability. We have assumed further improvements in gross margins to 57.4% in 2021 and 62.3% in 2025.Total Operating Expenses and Operating MarginsTotal operating expenses as a percentage of revenues declined significantly from 204.4% in 2019 to 100.6% in 2020. We expect this ratio to improve further to 79% in 2021, 69.2% in 2022, and 57.2% in 2025. The bulk of the improvements in operating expenses is coming from lower SG&A and R&D expenses as a percentage of revenues in the next five years.Company BackgroundAt the end of 2020, Zhihu had more than 43.1 million cumulative content creators that contributed 315 million questions and answers. In 4Q 2020, the company had 75.7 million average monthly active users, up 33% YoY. One of the key strengths of the company is that it is recognized as one of the most trustworthy online content communities and regarded as providing one of the highest quality content in China. Zhihu has tried to capitalize on its large user base to provide numerous multimedia functions including live streaming, e-commerce, online education, and other video content.In August 2019, Zhihu received $434 million in funding from leading investors including Baidu and Kuaishou Technology, valuing the company at $3.5 billion. Given that the company had $97 million in sales in 2019, this would suggest a P/S valuation multiple of 36x. If we take the same P/S multiple apply to the company's 2020 sales of $207 million, this would suggest an implied valuation of $7.5 billion.Zhihu was originally developed as a question and answer online community in 2010. At the end of 2020, there were a total of 315 million Q&As spanning more than 1,000 verticals and 571,000 topics. Zhihu is one of the top five comprehensive online content communities in China, in terms of average mobile MAUs and revenue in 2020. The company uses artificial intelligence, cloud, and big data algorithms to improve the optimization of its content and services.Major Shareholders of ZhihuThe founder & CEO Zhou Yuanowns an 8.2% stake in the company (but 46.6% voting rights). Sinovation Ventures owns a 13.1% stake and Tencent Holdings Ltd. owns a 12.3% stake of Zhihu.Key DemographicsThe diagram below provides some of the key demographics of Zhihu user base. Males accounted for 56.9% of total users. People under 30 years old accounted for 78.7% of its total user base. Tier I and new tier I cities represented 52.6% of total user base. Many of the users of Zhihu are students and white collar professionals.Revenue BreakdownAdvertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The company's advertising revenue is mainly driven by its MAUs and advertising revenue per MAU. The company's MAUs increased by 42.7% YoY to 68.5 million in 2020. The company started its online advertising business in 2016 and introduced paid content in 2018.Paid memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. Average monthly members jumped by 311.5% YoY to 2.36 million in 2020, which is a testament of an increasing number of customers that value the premium content available on Zhihu.In March 2019, the company introduced the Yan Selection membership program, making it the first payment-based questions & answers community. It provides its members with unlimited access to about 3.4 million paid content including online lectures, columns, audio books, and e-journals. This is one of the biggest strengths of the company as it shows how high quality data and content can generate serious amount of revenues and it also provides a more steady monthly revenue inflow.Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020.

marks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1127014629","media":"Reuters","summary":"Federal Reserve officials are due to issue new economic projections on Wednesday, with GDP growth li","content":"<p>Federal Reserve officials are due to issue new economic projections on Wednesday, with GDP growth likely to be a blow-out number that sets the stage for an historic experiment by U.S. central bank policymakers.</p>\n<p>Fed Chair Jerome Powell and his colleagues are betting the economy can take off from the COVID-19 pandemic without generating excessive inflation, and have vowed to keep interest rates at rock-bottom levels and a spigot of money flowing for an extended period as they lean into a potential economic boom in a way not seen since the early 1970s.</p>\n<p>In each of the quarterly forecasts released since June, the median GDP growth projection of Fed officials has been slightly above the median of private forecasters polled by Reuters. If that holds, it would translate into expected growth this year of more than 6.2% - the highest annual rate in 37 years.</p>\n<p>But when they issue their policy statement at the end of a two-day meeting on Wednesday, Fed officials are expected to restate what they’ve promised for months now: to keep the central bank’s benchmark overnight interest rate near zero and cash flowing into the economy until Americans are back to work, trusting that inflation will remain contained, as it has been for about 30 years.</p>\n<p>The economic projections and policy statement are scheduled to be released at 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT). Powell will hold a news conference shortly after, an event that could prove tricky for the Fed chief.</p>\n<p>Markets predict the Fed may be forced to act sooner than expected. Some policymakers could even hint at that if new projections show more of them anticipate a rate increase sometime in 2023, rather than a year or more later.</p>\n<p>If a majority see a 2023 hike, “Powell will have his work cut out for him” explaining how that meshes with a promise to get the economy back to full employment before reducing the crisis support rolled out when the pandemic struck, Tim Duy, chief U.S. economist for SGH Macro Advisors, wrote this week.</p>\n<p>Still, investors are already betting on earlier hikes, and some economists are also raising a red flag along with their forecasts. Morgan Stanley, among the more bullish in predicting the economy will have fully escaped its pandemic hole by September, sees the Fed’s approach producing a “hotter but shorter” business cycle that is likely to prompt it to tighten monetary policy early next year.</p>\n<p>The coming cycle would be less like the last three expansions - the one ended by the pandemic lasted a decade - and more like the period after World War Two when the intervals between recessions were shorter and intervening growth stronger.</p>\n<p>That epoch ended when then-President Richard Nixon encouraged loose monetary policy ahead of his 1972 re-election. Arthur Burns, who was the Fed chief at the time, kept interest rates low as the economy accelerated, and is often blamed for the ensuing rampant inflation that dogged the country for a decade.</p>\n<p>This time is different, Fed officials argue. Indeed, Powell’s legacy may hinge on whether inflation remains tame as the economy recovers, or whether prices spike, forcing the central bank to pull back its support - perhaps with millions of Americans still out of work.</p>\n<p>Their arguments are well-rehearsed. Inflation and unemployment don’t behave as they used to; lower levels of joblessness can now coexist with low inflation.</p>\n<p>The Fed made substantial changes to its policy statement last year encompassing that thinking, and the guidance issued in December is expected to hold for now.

The Advance/Decline line measures the difference of stocks that are moving higher or lower on a daily basis.\n\"A bullish A-D line sets up the S&P 500 for a breakout above 3,950 - 3,960 that would favor upside to 4,065 next with the 2020 cup and handle target at 4,270,\" BofA said.\nAnd if the S&P 500 does falter, investors should look to big picture support levels at 3,700, 3,550, and 3,200, BofA highlighted.\nBank of America","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":246,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":324132337,"gmtCreate":1615972824929,"gmtModify":1704789110298,"author":{"id":"3574311751638468","authorId":"3574311751638468","name":"Wesley1992","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d969b7f80ab74be82071eb3266dfd02d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574311751638468","authorIdStr":"3574311751638468"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/324132337","repostId":"1115896438","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1115896438","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1615970581,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1115896438?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-17 16:43","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tilray: Wait A Little Longer","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1115896438","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nValuation still high prior to Aphria merger.\nHigher interest rates have hurt growth names.\n","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Valuation still high prior to Aphria merger.</li>\n <li>Higher interest rates have hurt growth names.</li>\n <li>Another meaningful capital raise likely needed.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If you like roller coasters, then Canadian cannabis firm Tilray (TLRY) is definitely a stock for you.

Based on a little more than $1 billion in revenues generated annually between the two through the middle of 2022 and some projected dilution, the combined entity goes for around 12 times sales. That's a major premium to pay given tremendous losses and cash burn. I also bring that up because growth names at high valuations have lost a lot of favor with interest rates on the rise.

Aphria analysts see even more downside for that name, but it's possible some of those targets may not have been adjusted recently due to the merger, so let's discount that one for now. On a technical basis, Tilray shares were able to hold their 50-day moving average (in purple below) recently. However, if this key level is lost, the next critical level of support is the 100-day, which is another third lower than the 50-day right now.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8b5fabb528fa5478b83d469b797edf1\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"271\"><span>Source: Yahoo!

I also think I could change my overall stance on shares if they were to come down towards that average analyst target and closer to key support levels. There is certainly potential for this name in the long term if it can approach $2 billion in annual revenues while getting closer to overall profitability and positive free cash flow, but we're not anywhere near that point right now. Perhaps six months from now the name will look a bit different once synergies start to kick in and the balance sheet is in better shape assuming a large capital raise happens.</p>\n<p>While Tilray shares have lost more than half of their value from their second major run recently, I don't think investors should jump in just yet. The upcoming merger with Aphria will create a leader in this space, but combined losses and cash burn likely will require a bit more capital in the coming quarters. With US interest rates on the rise providing a major headwind to high growth names like Tilray that trade at substantial price to sales multiples, another leg down from here would not be surprising.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Tilray: Wait A Little Longer</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nTilray: Wait A Little Longer\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-17 16:43 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4414458-tilray-wait-little-longer><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nValuation still high prior to Aphria merger.\nHigher interest rates have hurt growth names.\nAnother meaningful capital raise likely needed.\n\nIf you like roller coasters, then Canadian cannabis...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4414458-tilray-wait-little-longer\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TLRY":"Tilray Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4414458-tilray-wait-little-longer","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1115896438","content_text":"Summary\n\nValuation still high prior to Aphria merger.\nHigher interest rates have hurt growth names.\nAnother meaningful capital raise likely needed.\n\nIf you like roller coasters, then Canadian cannabis firm Tilray (TLRY) is definitely a stock for you.
