Cannabis Sales Surge On Coronavirus

Posted on by Michael Vodicka

Coronavirus is having a devastating effect on many industries in the United States and across the globe.

For example, millions of US citizens are canceling travel plans and that is crushing US airline industry revenue. That's why the US airline industry just asked for a $50 billion financial bailout from the federal government that would be three times the size of the airline bailout after September 11.

This big drop in sales is causing a lot of pain for shareholders. Airline stocks have been getting hammered.

United Airlines Holdings Inc. (UAL) is down -60% from the 52-week high, much worse than the S&P 500’s -12% decline from the 52-week high.

Former Canopy CEO Loves This Stock

Posted on by Michael Vodicka

CEOs have an insider’s view that is second to none. When they talk, it pays to listen closely. They drop clues that can be used to find great investments. That’s what happened last week with a rock star CEO in the cannabis industry.

Bruce Linton founded Canopy Growth Corp (CGC, WEED) in 2013. Back then, Canopy was only worth $100 million – but in the next six years, Linton grew Canopy into a $15 billion global juggernaut and the largest cannabis company in the world. That’s one of the fastest growth rates in the history of the stock market. It made early investors rich and Linton was widely considered the Pied Piper of the global cannabis industry.

If the cannabis industry had a rock star CEO – it was Bruce Linton. His insight and connections in the cannabis industry are unparalleled. That’s why it came as such a big surprise last week when Constellation Brands (STZ), which owns 38% of Canopy, fired Linton. After the news hit the wire, Linton quickly called into CNBC and dropped a hot investment tip about one of his favorite cannabis companies that cannabis investors need to know about.

Kevin O’Leary, the billionaire investor famous for his role on NBC’s Shark Tank, asked Linton if there were any cannabis companies he would consider investing in. Here’s what Linton said. Continue reading "Former Canopy CEO Loves This Stock" →
