There Are Better Pot Plays Than CRON Stock

By Thomas Niel, InvestorPlace Contributor

With full commercial marijuana in the United States years away, there is plenty of time to place your bets on the cannabis sector.

By Thomas Niel, InvestorPlace Contributor

We may now have reached "peak Netflix". With the company's US subscriber growth stagnating, the company is dependent on international growth to sustain its valuation.

Square Stock is Overvalued But Could Go Higher

By Thomas Niel, InvestorPlace Contributor

At the current trading price, SQ stock could tread water from now until the next earnings call. Failure to meet high expectations could impact the stock, causing a dip (as seen after the first quarter earnings release). Investors looking for an opportunity may find a better entry point a few weeks down the road. Long-term, Square's successful disruption of the payments space could make the stock a strong performer.
