$Canopy Growth Corp(WEED.CA)$
Top issue in Canadian cannabis
Canada’s cannabis excise-tax structure is regularly cited as the top issue facing licensed cannabis producers.
The excise tax is levied before cannabis products reach consumers, who also pay sales taxes upon purchase.
Cannabis flower and pre-rolls are taxed at either a flat rate of 1 Canadian dollar (CA$0.72) per gram or 10% of the gram’s wholesale price, whichever is greater.

A federal appeals court has upheld a ruling by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to not invalidate patents held by $Arbutus Biopharma(ABUS.US)$, dealing a blow to $Moderna(MRNA.US)$.
The court ruled that Moderna had no standing to appeal.
The patents in question cover a novel lipid formulation for nucleic acid delivery. These lipid nanoparticles are essential to protect mRNA therapies as they travel through the body to cells.
As a result, Arbutus may be eligible for royalties from Moderna from sales of its COVID-19 vaccine.
Moderna had argued that the claims in the patents were obvious and upholding them would open the company to patent infringement lawsuits.

$Grab Holdings(GRAB.US)$ I am neutral on shares, but I bought a number of Jan and April calls on $Altimeter Growth Corp(AGC.US)$ to take advantage of the volatility spike at merger. We had very low IV and historical volatility up until Aug 30 when the Motley Fool article came out about Grab's Q1 results. The IV spiked and dipped, but is still at elevated levels compared to before Aug 30. That being said, it is still below average and way below the peak around AGC's announcement of Grab as its target. There a number of compelling reasons why I think we will see a pop before merger, with a possibility of a selloff after.

$Tesla(TSLA.US)$ I can't imagine that Space X employees are all sitting around, jerking off playing video games and watching Karen compilations on youtube all day because they don't have much else to do. His statement was meant for the media, not his staff. His employees being the cream of the crop do not need threats of bankruptcy in order to be productive...lol, jesus christ.

$Lucid Group(LCID.US)$ I recall Mayor Pete showing up to an event of some sort, stopping his entourage short of the locale, then unloading a bicycle from the back of his Chevy Suburban so he could show up "appearing" to give a shit! Nice try Mayor Pete...

$Microsoft(MSFT.US)$ I am in until the moat dries up. I don't have a crystal ball, but I don't see that as an immediate threat. With azure and other products working seamlessly, subscriptions, surface computers, and MSFT bolting on acquisitions I feel safe. For now.
