&l;p&g;Throughout January, stocks &l;a href=&q;https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/29/pros-call-the-stock-markets-parabolic-up-move-this-year-a-melt-up.html&q; target=&q;_blank&q;&g;continued to surge&l;/a&g;, building on a multi-year trend of swelling valuations that goes back to the wake of the financial crisis. And, as I&a;nbsp;&l;a href=&q;https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesfinancecouncil/2017/12/22/the-good-times-can-last&q;&g;discussed&l;/a&g; in my last article, there&a;rsquo;s reason to believe 2018 will be another rock solid year, despite the &l;a href=&q;https://www.marketwatch.com/story/stock-market-investors-weigh-potential-aftershocks-from-volatility-spike-2018-02-08&q; target=&q;_blank&q;&g;volatility&l;/a&g; that spooked investors in the early part of February. Remember, bull markets, unlike people, don&a;rsquo;t die of old age, even as this one is particularly long in the tooth.

Indeed, the recent tax reform package should boost corporate earnings and give consumers more money to spend. Meanwhile, the jobs picture continues to improve and wages, which have languished during much of the recovery, grew at the fastest pace in eight years, according to January&a;rsquo;s &l;a href=&q;https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/02/business/economy/jobs-report.html&q; target=&q;_blank&q;&g;labor report&l;/a&g;. Though some are concerned that the Federal Reserve could hike interest rates to stave off inflation — and, in the process, squelch the flow of easy money that has, in part, fueled rising markets — these factors portend mostly positive things for equities.

    However, Canada becoming the first developed country in the world to legalize adult-use cannabis is far from the only “marijuana first” we’ve witnessed this year. In February, Canadian weed investment company Cronos Group (NASDAQ:CRON), which has three core assets, announced that it was becoming the first Canadian pot stock to uplist to the Nasdaq (NASDAQ:NDAQ). Moving from the over-the-counter (OTC) exchange to a more reputable exchange like the Nasdaq allowed for improved liquidity, as well as cleared the way for institutional investors to take a position in Cronos Group. Wall Street traditionally shies away from investing in OTC-listed companies.

    Markets are cheering a major development in efforts to fix the ongoing trade conflict between the United States and China. According to Reuters, Chinese telecom giant ZTE has signed an agreement to get back into business with its American partners. The agreement will lift a ban by the U.S. Commerce Department that prevented China’s No. 2 telecommunications equipment from buying from U.S. suppliers. This is a major development, and one that signals progress among trade officials from both nations. There are now more job openings in the United States than available workers. This is the first time that the Department of Labor has documented this phenomenon. There are 6.7 million openings compared to the 6.4 million workers available to fill those positions. As a result, U.S. companies have been forced to increase compensation in order to attract talent. All of the positive economic development could come to a screeching halt should the U.S. experience the largest labor strike in a decade. Reports indicate that the Teamsters and the United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS) are on a collision course that could result in a general strike. The union has announced that 260,000 UPS employees have authorized a strike should both sides fail to reach a labor deal by August 1. UPS is responsible for the transport of 6% of the nation’s gross domestic product.

Africa’s biggest mobile-phone company is doing a spring clean of its empire.

As of this writing, the price remains at $33. In this article, I will discuss one negative and five positives, and explain why you should consider buying the stock at this low price.

    Gardner:There’sa lot of biotech and some computer companies. We once visited the Cray Corporation (NASDAQ:CRAY), which was one of the early supercomputer companies.Seymour Cray was one of the pioneers of supercomputing. If you look up Cray Computers, they were the supercomputers back in the 80s, when computers were a lot bigger than they are today, andprobably slower, but they were super back then. Anyway,that was a Minneapolis company I once visited. Our dad used to take us, occasionally, on trips. We’d just drop by corporate headquarters and talk to an investor relations person. That was one of the times I did that. Itwasn’t like I did it dozens of times. We did maybe five or six times. ButI’ll always remember Cray Computer.

    However, Canada becoming the first developed country in the world to legalize adult-use cannabis is far from the only “marijuana first” we’ve witnessed this year. In February, Canadian weed investment company Cronos Group (NASDAQ:CRON), which has three core assets, announced that it was becoming the first Canadian pot stock to uplist to the Nasdaq (NASDAQ:NDAQ). Moving from the over-the-counter (OTC) exchange to a more reputable exchange like the Nasdaq allowed for improved liquidity, as well as cleared the way for institutional investors to take a position in Cronos Group. Wall Street traditionally shies away from investing in OTC-listed companies.

    There’s at least one traditional financial giant that not only doesn’t fear blockchain technology, but is actively embracing it — Nasdaq (NDAQ) , the second-largest stock exchange in the world by market cap.
