4 Cannabis Stocks With The Best Chance To Be The Next Starbucks

Analysis originally distributed on December 14, 2016 By: Michael Vodicka of Cannabis Stock Trades

Back in 1991, very few people had heard of a company called Starbucks.

After all, what kind of fool would pay more than $2 for a cup of coffee? Particularly when you could brew a cup at home.

Today, Starbucks is a billion-dollar global leader and one of the most recognized consumer brands in the world. Early investors have been rewarded with life-changing gains.

Shares are up almost 17,000% in the last 25 years. Investing $10,000 at the IPO in 1991 would be worth $1.7 million today. $25,000 would have grown into $4.4 million. Take a look at the big gains below. Continue reading "4 Cannabis Stocks With The Best Chance To Be The Next Starbucks"

The War on Cash and Then on Gold

Technical analyst Clive Maund says liquidity issues with banks could lead to restrictions on cash and precious metals.

The global financial system continues to groan under the strain of the accumulated weight of trillions of dollars worth of debt and derivatives, which have built up to even more fantastic levels than those that precipitated the near collapse in 2008, thanks to the policy of solving liquidity problems near term by creating even more debt and derivatives, Quantitative Easing being the most obvious example. However, while the majority considers the situation to be hopeless, there is actually "light at the end of the tunnel."

cash and gold

If only a way could be found to freely tap the funds of savers at will, by imposing duties or taxes on bank accounts, with the additional option to appropriate savers' funds on occasion as required, then the systemic liquidity problems will be solved. Banks need never fear solvency problems again and they can simply fall back on the account holder's funds to meet any obligations. There are in fact already names for these restorative operations, they are called "bails-ins" and NIRP (Negative Interest Rate Policy). Continue reading "The War on Cash and Then on Gold"

Canopy Positioned to Dominate with $430 Million Bid for Mettrum

Analysis originally distributed on Decemberber 7, 2016 By: Michael Vodicka of Cannabis Stock Trades

Two of my favorite cannabis stocks reported great news.

On December 1 Canopy Growth Corp (TSX:CGC), Canada’s largest medical marijuana company, announced a $430 million bid to purchase industry rival Metrum (TSX.V:MT).

This is one of the most important events of the year in the cannabis industry.

If the merger is approved by regulators and shareholder it would the single largest merger in the history of the young cannabis industry.

It would help solidify Canopy’s status as the giant of the Canadian medical marijuana market.

The combined company would have a market cap of more than $1 billion, 655,000 thousand square feet of annual production capacity and the potential to capture half the entire Canadian medical marijuana. Continue reading "Canopy Positioned to Dominate with $430 Million Bid for Mettrum"

Gold Futures

Gold futures in the February contract settled last Friday in New York at 1,161 an ounce while currently trading at 1,135 down about $25 for the trading week retesting prices that we haven't seen since early February as this bearish trend is getting stronger to the outside on a weekly basis. I am currently sitting on the sidelines as the chart structure never met my criteria to enter into a short position as I was actually looking at a bullish position in silver but prices dropped dramatically, so I avoided the trade as I'm currently looking at a possible short position in the copper market. Gold prices settled last year at 1,065 still up about $75 or about 6% for the year & traded as high as 1,387 on July 6th as that is how far prices have fallen all due to a strong U.S dollar.
