Michael A. Robinson

I recently ran down some of the positive developments for U.S. weed investors coming out of Washington, D.C. – developments that can, and should, be seen as powerful profit catalysts for pot stocks, because they all helped push this segment higher in April.

But if you think things are looking up in the United States, just wait until you see what's happening up north of the border, in Canada, where the entire country is expected to take medicinal and recreational weed fully legal in just a few weeks' time, in July.

Why is this Canadian law great news for American investors?

It's simple: Canadian cannabis companies, which any American investor can easily own, have the potential to explode – particularly the five tiny Canadian pot stocks in my Nova-X Report Roadmap to Marijuana Millions model portfolio.

  Winnebago's total backlog increased by 36% against the comparable prior year quarter, to $193.1 million. Competitor Thor Industries' (NYSE:THO) quarterly earnings, reported earlier this month, revealed a backlog reduction of 18%. Although Thor's management presented a credible argument that the organization's backlog reduction is due to increased production capability, its shareholders nonetheless have worried over demand trends. Winnebago's own backlog growth provides a more positive data point for those taking stock of the larger RV industry.

  Thor Industries' (NYSE:THO) fiscal 2018 third-quarter earnings, released on June 6, helped stem some of the company's recent share price decline: After surging nearly 51% in 2017, Thor's shares have lost one-third of their value year to date. As my colleague Dan Caplinger recently pointed out, the recreational vehicle, or RV, market remains strong, but investors are concerned about Thor's near-term prospects, given that it's coming off a period of phenomenal revenue growth. Below, I'll analyze five points made in Thor's earnings release and most recent quarterly "questions and answers" document, which provide context around its current earnings and outlook.

Top 10 Canadian Stocks For 2019: Transcananda Pipelines Ltd.(TRP)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Reuben Gregg Brewer]

  Kinder Morgan is a prominent name in the midstream space, so it's easy to see why investors would be interested in Kinder Morgan Canada Ltd (NASDAQOTH:KMLGF). That's especially true after a recent timely move to get out from under a troubled pipeline project. However, there's a wrinkle in this the story because of the Canadian company's relationship with U.S.-based Kinder Morgan, Inc. (NYSE:KMI). Here's why most investors would be better off with TransCanada Corporation (NYSE:TRP) today.
