Is General Cannabis Corp (OTCMKTS: CANN) A Bounce Back Play On Positive 2018 Outlook?

Shares of General Cannabis Corp (OTCMKTS: CANN) are showing signs of trading higher as investors react to impressive full year financial results and a positive outlook for 2018. According to the Chief Executive Officer, Michael Feinsod, the company has never been in a better position to take advantage of its strong infrastructure, in a bid to focus on growth.

Price Action

Over the past one month, the stock has rallied by more than 60% after coming under pressure early in the year. Given that it is currently trading at the $4.34 handle, the stock needs to rise and close above the $6 a share level, for it to attract investors who until now have been on the fence.

A rise followed by a close above the $6 a share level should open the door for the stock to spike to the $10 a share mark. On the downside, the stock faces immediate support at the $4 a share mark below which it remains susceptible to declines to the $2 a share mark.

General Cannabis casts itself as a comprehensive national resource for high quality service providers in the legal cannabis space. The company is also engaged in the business of cultivating producing and sale of cannabis products.

Why is the Stock Spiking?

The stock has bottomed out after coming under pressure early in the year after the management stated 2017 was a transformative year. According to the Chief executive officer, the balance sheet is stronger than ever, on the company generating impressive revenues last year.

General Cannabis has already paid down a substantial amount of its debt and raised new equity, expected to finance development plans in 2018. The company exited 2017 with a net loss of (-$8.2) million an improvement from ante loss of (-$10.2) million reported in 2016

“Our business expanded during the year, which positions us for continued national expansion. We will continue to hire talented executives to support our growth. General Cannabis has never been in a better position to take advantage of our strong infrastructure and continue to focus on growth through acquisitions,” said Michael Feinsod Executive Chairman of the board.

2018 Outlook

The management expects Security Segment revenues to increase as expansion in California gains traction. The company is also planning to explore additional service offerings. Marketing segment should also post significant growth as General Cannabis pursues national distributors and retailers for its apparel lines.

General Cannabis is also planning it carry out acquisitions in 2018 in a bid to accelerate growth.

Cannabis Startup of 2017 (OTCMKTS:CBWTF) Ends Year Working at Blistering Pace

Cannabis Startup of 2017 (OTCMKTS:CBWTF) Ends Year Working at Blistering Pace

View the original article here.

Santa Monica, CA / ACCESSWIRE / January 9, 2018

With the culture of legal marijuana in North America undergoing a seismic shift, companies have cropped up everywhere looking to get a piece of the market estimated to have generated nearly $10 billion in sales in 2017. Being named the best of the best is quite an accomplishment and one that Cannabis Wheaton Income Corp. (CBW)(CBWTF) can wear proudly after being name Startup of the Year at the 2017 Canadian Cannabis Awards.

With California legalizing recreational marijuana at the start of 2018 and Canadians getting geared up for legal cannabis nationwide later this year, Cannabis Wheaton didn’t sit back on its laurels as 2017 wound down. In fact, the Vancouver-based collection of entrepreneurs was busy as ever. CBW isn’t the typical “pot play” that many investors know of, such as growers and dispensaries. More of an incubator, accelerator, advisor and advocate, the company employs a streaming model to partner with an array of companies across the legal marijuana industry, giving its investors access to a diversified portfolio.

Two weeks after winning the startup award, Cannabis Wheaton locked down a new streaming partner, agreeing to a deal with Sustainable Growth Strategic Capital Corp, or SGSC for short. In the pact, Cannabis Wheaton will lend its expertise and non-cash resources to help SGSC get a grower’s license under Canada’s ACMPR (Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations) and develop a massive grow facility in Scarborough, which would make it the closest licensed producer to downtown Toronto.

As with any streaming model, Cannabis Wheaton is taking future product as part of its payment for services being rendered. The company estimates it will collect about 5.5 million grams of cannabis annually once SGSC’s facility if operating at capacity.

Only a day later, Cannabis Wheaton disclosed an agreement with an unnamed “prominent Canadian testing, analysis and rating company” for which Cannabis Wheaton is licensing proprietary data on cannabis strains. In the age of big data, Cannabis Wheaton is looking to take a leadership position in the marijuana space by providing order to an industry that greatly needs structure to provide CBW platform partners with a comprehensive data set to make more informed purchasing, sales, and cultivation decisions.

With just over a week left in the year, the company wasn’t done inking deals yet.

On the 21st, Cannabis Wheaton partnered with FV Pharma, a licensed Canadian cannabis producer. The new JV plans to construct the largest indoor cannabis cultivation and processing facility in the world. The property is the location of the former Kraft food manufacturing facility, sitting on 70 acres about one hour outside of Toronto in Cobourg. Existing is already 620,000 square feet of building space, which the companies plan to expand to a whopping 3.8 million square feet dedicated to cannabis cultivation and related ancillary businesses all under one roof.

To lend some color to the magnitude, that’s approximately 66 football fields (end zones included).

For its part, Cannabis Wheaton will assist in all aspects of constructing the facility (designing, developing, financing, etc.), as well as marketing, branding and distributing products once the facility is operating. In return, the company will receive a 49.9% stream of all cannabis or cannabis products produced at the facility under the partnership in perpetuity. Management estimates that will be 200 million grams of cannabis annually in favor of Cannabis Wheaton when the facility is done.

Lastly, only days before Christmas, the company inked a definitive agreement with streaming partner CannTX Life Sciences also related to building a new facility. Per the deal, Cannabis Wheaton, who officially does business as “Wheaton Income,” will provide the privately-held company with $5 million for initial expenses for the first phase of construction, currently expected to be about 13,120 square feet. Cannabis Wheaton has also agreed to fund another $7 million for phase two of the build-out, expanding the cultivation area to 24,000 square feet.

In consideration for the financing, Cannabis Wheaton will receive a minority equity interest in CannTx and is entitled to 33 percent of all cannabis products produced at the facility at a fixed cost for a period of 10 years subsequent to the first date of a product sale.

 In order to help fund operations put in motion in 2017 and set the stage for an active 2018, Cannabis Wheaton initiated a private placement of convertible debenture units in December seeking to raise $60 million. MMCAP International has taken the lead in the offering, agreeing to subscribe for up to $48 million of the aggregate principal amount, aligning the company to continue to execute on its aggressive business model as the new year gets underway.View the original article here.

Small Cap Exclusive is owned and operated by JBN PARTNERS LLC, which is a US based corporation. We are paid advertisers, also known as stock touts or stock promoters, who disseminate favorable information (this “Article”) about publicly traded companies (the “Profiled Issuers”).

We publish the Information on our website, smallcapexclusive.com/ and in newsletters, text message alerts, audio services, live interviews, featured “research” reports, on message boards and in email communications for specific time periods that are agreed upon between us and the Profiled Issuer and / or third party paying us. Our publication of the Information is known as a “Campaign”. This information may be sent to potential investors at different times that are minutes, hours, days or even weeks apart. Typically, the trading volume and price of a Profiled Issuer’s securities increases after the information is provided to the first group of investors. Therefore, the later an investor receives the Information, the more likely it is that he will suffer trading losses if they purchase the securities of a Profiled Issuer late in a Campaign. We are paid to advertise the Profiled Issuers, Cannabis Wheaton Income. Small Cap Exclusive has been hired by a third party, Sunrise Media, LLC ., for a period beginning on December 27, 2017 and is scheduled to end on February 24, 2018 to publicly disseminate information about (CBWTF) via website and email. We have been compensated $20,000. We will update any changes to our compensation. We own zero shares of (CBWTF).

Third Parties paying us to market the Profiled Issuer we believe intend to sell their shares they hold while we tell investors to purchase during the Campaign. Cannibis Wheaton Income is a penny stock that was illiquid (little to no trading volume) prior to our Campaign, and therefore these securities are subject to wide fluctuations in trading price and volume. During the Campaign the trading volume and price of the securities of each Profile Issuer will likely increase significantly because of the media exposure. When the Campaign ends, the volume and price of the Profiled Issuer will likely decrease dramatically. As a result, investors who purchase during the Campaign and hold shares of the Profiled Issuer when the Campaign ends will probably lose most, if not all, of their investment.

The Information we publish in the Campaign is only a snapshot that provides only positive information about the Profiled Issuers. The Information consists of only positive content. We do not and will not publish any negative information about the Profiled Issuers; accordingly, investors should consider the Information to be one-sided and not balanced, complete, accurate, truthful and / or reliable. We do not verify or confirm any portion of the Information. We do not conduct any due diligence, nor do we research any aspect of the Information including the completeness, accuracy, truthfulness and / or reliability of the Information. We do not review the Profiled Issuers’ financial condition, operations, business model, management or risks involved in the Profiled Issuer’s business or an investment in a Profiled Issuer’s securities.

All information in our Campaign is publicly available information from 3rd party sources and / or the Profiled Issuers and/or the 3rd parties that hire us. We may also obtain the Information from publicly available sources such as the OTC Markets, Google, NASDAQ, NYSE, Yahoo, Bing, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Edgar database or other available public sources.

We select the stocks we profile and / or pick as we are compensated to advertise them. If an investor relies solely on the Information in making an investment decision it is highly probable that the investor will lose most, if not all, of his or her investment. Investors should not rely on the Information to make an investment decision.

The source of our compensation varies depending upon the particular circumstances of the Campaign. In certain cases, we are compensated by the Profiled Issuers, third party shareholders, and / or other parties related to the Profiled Issuers such as officers and/or directors who will derive a financial or other benefit from an increase in the trading price and/or volume of a Profiled Issuer’s securities.

We make no warranty and / or representation about the Information, including its completeness, accuracy, truthfulness or reliability and we disclaim, expressly and implicitly, all warranties of any kind, including whether the Information is complete, accurate, truthful, or reliable and as such, your use of the Information is at your own risk. The Information is provided as is without limitation.

We are not, and do not act in the capacity of any of the following; as such, you should not construe our activities as involving any of the following: an independent adviser or consultant; a fortune teller; an investment adviser or an entity engaging in activities that would be deemed to be providing investment advice that requires registration either at the federal and / or state level; a broker-dealer or an individual acting in the capacity of a registered representative or broker; a stock picker; a securities trading expert; a securities researcher or analyst; a financial planner or one who engages in financial planning; a provider of stock recommendations; a provider of advice about buy, sell or hold recommendations as to specific securities; or an agent offering or securities for sale or soliciting their purchase.

There are numerous risks associated with each Profiled Issuer and investors should undertake a full review of each Profiled Issuer with the assistance of their financial, legal, and tax advisers prior to purchasing the securities of any Profiled Issuer.

We are not objective or independent and have multiple conflicts of interest. The Profiled Issuers and parties hiring us have conflicts of interest. Third parties that have hired us and own shares will sell these shares while we tell investors to purchase, and this selling of the Profiled Issuer’s securities will likely cause investors to suffer losses.

Our publication of the Information involves actual and material conflicts of interest including but not limited to the fact that we receive monetary compensation in exchange for publishing the (favorable) Information about the Profiled Issuers; and we do not publish any negative information, whatsoever, about the Profiled Issuers; in addition to the fact that while we do not own the Profiled Issuer’s securities, the third parties that hired us do, and intend to sell all of these securities during the Campaign while we publish favorable information that instructs investors to purchase, and this selling of the Profiled Issuer’s securities will likely cause investors to suffer losses.

We are not responsible or liable for any person’s use of the Information or any success or failure that is directly or indirectly related to such person’s use of the Information because we have specifically stated that the information is not reliable and should not be relied upon for any purpose. We are not responsible for omissions and / or errors in the Information and we are not responsible for actions taken by any person who relies upon the Information.

We urge Investors to conduct their own in-depth investigation of the Profiled Issuers with the assistance of their legal, tax and / or investment adviser(s). An investor’s review of the Information should include but not be limited to the Profiled Issuer’s financial condition, operations, management, products and / or services, trends in the industry and risks that may be material to the profiled Issuer’s business and other information he and his advisers deem material to an investment decision. An investor’s review should include, but not be limited to a review of available public sources and information received directly from the Profiled Issuers or from websites such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, OTC Markets, NASDAQ, NYSE, www.sec.gov or other available public sources.

We are providing you with this disclaimer because we are publishing advertisements about penny stocks. Because we are paid to disseminate the Information to the public about securities, we are required by the securities laws including Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to specifically disclose my compensation as well as other important information, This information includes that we may hold, as well as purchase and sell, the securities of a Profiled Issuer before, during and after we publish favorable Information about the Profiled Issuer. We may urge investors to purchase the securities of a Profiled Issuer while we sell my own shares. The anti-fraud provisions of federal and state securities laws require us to inform you that we may engage in buying and selling of Profiled Issuer’s securities before, during and after the Campaigns.

Any investment in the Profiled Issuers involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. The securities may be subject to extreme volume and price volatility, especially during the Campaigns. Favorable past performance of a Profiled Issuer does not guarantee future results. If you purchase the securities of the Profiled Issuers, you should be prepared to lose your entire investment. Some of the risks involved in purchasing securities of the Profiled Issuers include, but are not limited to the risks stated below.

We do not endorse, independently verify or assert the truthfulness, completeness, accuracy or reliability of the Information. We conduct no due diligence or investigation whatsoever of the Information or the Profiled Issuers and we do not receive any verification from the Profiled Issuer regarding the Information we disseminate.

If we publish any percentage gain of a Profiled Issuer from the previous day close in the Information, it is not and should not be construed as an indication that the future stock price or future operational results will reflect gains or otherwise prove to be advantageous to your investment.

The Information may contain statements asserting that a Profiled Issuer’s stock price has increased over a certain period of time which may reflect an arbitrary period of time, and is not predictive or of any analytical quality; as such, you should not rely upon the (favorable) Information in your analysis of the present or future potential of a Profiled Issuer or its securities.

The Information should not be interpreted in any way, shape, form or manner whatsoever as an indication of the Profiled Issuer’s future stock price or future financial performance.

You may encounter difficulties determining what, if any, portions of the Information are material or non-material, making it all the more imperative that you conduct your own independent investigation of the Profiled Issuer and its securities with the assistance of your legal, tax and financial advisor.

When 3rd parties that hire us acquire, purchase and / or sell the securities of the Profiled Issuers, it may (a) cause significant volatility in the Profiled Issuer’s securities; (b) cause temporary but unrealistic increases in volume and price of the Profiled Issuer’s securities; (c) if selling, cause the Profiled Issuer’s stock price to decline dramatically; and (d) permit themselves to make substantial profits while investors who purchase during the Campaign experience significant losses.

The securities of the Profiled Issuers are high risk, unstable, unpredictable and illiquid which may make it difficult for investors to sell their securities of the Profiled Issuers.

We may hire third party service providers and stock promoters to electronically disseminate live news regarding the Profiled Issuers, yet we have no control over the content of and do not verify the information that the Profiled Issuers and/or third party service providers publish. These third party service providers are likely compensated for providing positive information about the Issuer and may fail to disclose their compensation to you.

If a Profiled Issuer is a SEC reporting company, it could be delinquent (not current) in its periodic reporting obligations (i.e., in its quarterly and annual reports), or if it is an OTC Markets Pink Sheet quoted company, it may be delinquent in its Pink Sheet reporting obligations, which may result in OTC Markets posting a negative legend pertaining to the Profiled Issuer at www.otcmarkets.com, as follows: (i) “Limited Information” for companies with financial reporting problems, economic distress, or that are unwilling to file required reports with the Pink Sheets; (ii) “No Information,” which characterizes companies that are unable or unwilling to provide any disclosure to the public markets, to the SEC or the Pink Sheets; and (iii) “Caveat Emptor,” signifying buyers should be aware that there is a public interest concern associated with a company’s illegal spam campaign, questionable stock promotion, known investigation of a company’s fraudulent activity or its insiders, regulatory suspensions or disruptive corporate actions.

If the Information states that a Profiled Issuer’s securities are consistent with the future economic trends or even if your independent research indicates that, you should be aware that economic trends have their own limitations, including: (a) that economic trends or predictions may be speculative; (b) consumers, producers, investors, borrowers, lenders and/or government may react in unforeseen ways and be affected by behavioral biases that we are unable to predict; (c) human and social factors may outweigh future economic trends that we state may or will occur; (d) clear cut economic predictions have their limitations in that they do not account for the fundamental uncertainty in economic life, as well as ordinary life; (e) economic trends may be disrupted by sudden jumps, disruptions or other factors that are not accounted for in economic trends analysis; in other words, past or present data predicting future economic trends may become irrelevant in light of new circumstances and situations in which uncertainty becomes reality rather than predicted economic outcome; or (f) if the trend predicted involves a single result, it ignores other scenarios that may be crucial to make a decision in the event of unknown contingencies.

The Information is presented only as a brief snapshot of the Profiled Issuer and should only be used, at most, and if at all, as a starting point for you to conduct a thorough investigation of the Profiled Issuer and its securities. You should consult your financial, legal or other adviser(s) and avail yourself of the filings and information that may be accessed at www.sec.gov, www.otcmarkets.com or other electronic media, including: (a) reviewing SEC periodic reports (Forms 10-Q and 10-K), reports of material events (Form 8-K), insider reports (Forms 3, 4, 5 and Schedule 13D); (b) reviewing Information and Disclosure Statements and unaudited financial reports filed with the OTCMarkets.com; (c) obtaining and reviewing publicly available information contained in commonly known search engines such as Google; and (d) consulting investment guides at www.sec.gov and www.finra.org. You should always be cognizant that the Profiled Issuers may not be current in their reporting obligations with the SEC and the OTC Markets and/or have negative legends and designations at otcmarkets.com.

Groupon Inc (NASDAQ: GRPN) To Air 30-Second Spot During 2018 Super Bowl

Groupon Inc (NASDAQ: GRPN) To Air 30-Second Spot During 2018 Super Bowl

Groupon Inc (NASDAQ: GRPN) To Air 30-Second Spot During 2018 Super Bowl

grpnGroupon Inc (NASDAQ: GRPN) has announced that in next year’s Super Bowl it will feature in the advertising line-up. This will be the first time the online deals firm will be airing an ad during the Super Bowl since 2011. Shares of the online deals firm were relatively unmoved by the announcement as they only rose by 0.38% to close the day at $5.20 in Tuesday’s trading session. The announcement was made by Vinayak Hegde, the chief marketing officer of Groupon.

“…Super Bowl is the one event a year that everyone participates in … We’re excited to show the more than 110 million people watching the game just how easy and smart it is to make Groupon part of their daily lives,” said Hegde.

Political incorrectness

In Groupon’s last Super Bowl advert which aired in 2011 the online deals firm came under heavy criticism over what was seen as insensitivity. In the ad actor Timothy Hutton was featured talking about Tibetans and their challenges while promoting a deal on fish curry. A big number of viewers found the ad to be offensive as well as politically incorrect. At the time the co-founder of Groupon, Andrew Mason, was the chief executive officer.

[thrive_leads id=’8276′]

 

Since the departure of Mason in 2013 the business model of Groupon has evolved significantly and the company is keen to make a comeback to the title game of the National Football League. Sources refused to disclose what will be featured in the Super Bowl ad though there were hints that there will be an entertainment celebrity appearing.

Half-a-minute spot

Running for half a minute the Groupon ad is expected to be slotted between the Super Bowl’s 3rd and 4th quarters. A Super Bowl spot running for 30 seconds is costing $5 million though the online deals firm could pay lower than that since its ad will be appearing in the late stages of the game. However this comes with a risk as there is likely to be reduced viewership in the event that the game turns out to be a blowout.

Groupon’s return to high-profile advertising comes less than a fortnight since the online deals firm debuted a TV spot aimed at positioning the company as the ideal place to get a deal on last-minute gifts. The ad was made by O’Keefe, Reinhard & Paul Chicago, the advertising agency of record for Groupon. The online-deals firm decided to focus on last-minute gifting because indecisiveness has been identified as the number one reason why only 10% of Americans are able to have completed shopping for the festivities by mid-December.

Wheaton Income (OTCMKTS:CBWTF) Is Positioned To Take Advantage Of Explosive Growth In North American Market

Wheaton Income (OTCMKTS:CBWTF) Is Positioned To Take Advantage Of Explosive Growth In North American Market

 

In 2018, the world is going to see one of the largest supply/demand imbalances in history.

 

(OTCMKTS:CBWTF) Cannabis Wheaton Income  CBWTF

 

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will legalize cannabis by Canada’s 151st birthday, Canada Day, on July 1, 2018, and with the legalization will come a wave of demand for the product, both for medical purposes and recreational.

Already, however, and under the current laws that only allow for medical cannabis consumption, growers, distributors and retailers struggle to satiate the market. As CBC reported back in June, 2017:

“Licensed medical marijuana producers are trying to keep pace with extraordinary growth in the number of patients signing up for Health Canada’s legal regime.”

Analysts expect that the recreational market will treble the current market in Canada alone to $8 billion – and the industry is struggling to meet demand now.

[thrive_leads id=’8275′]

 

As reported by Forbes back in April, 2017:

 

cbwtf“In order to meet the low end of the estimates for the adult-use market, Canada would have to produce over 600,000 kg of cannabis a year. This is a significant increase over current levels and has sparked a rush to build new grow facilities.”

Of course, for investors, a supply crunch can be an incredible opportunity. Take a position in a company that’s set up to help remedy the supply/demand imbalance and you could be looking at explosive returns in a very short period of time.

With this opportunity in mind, our team of analysts set out to find a stock that is positioned to take advantage of the situation and that also – right now – remains somewhat under the radar, maximizing the potential for gains over the next twelve months.

And we found one – Cannabis Wheaton Income Corp (OTCMKTS:CBWTF).

But this isn’t your standard cannabis company, it’s much more than that, and that’s why we like it so much.

 

A unique model… sort of

Anybody familiar with the mining industry – gold, silver, etc. – will likely already be familiar with the streaming model. For those that aren’t, it’s a system through which one entity finances a natural resource explorer, miner or producer in return for a royalty derived from, or a set amount of, the natural resource that comes out of whatever operations are in place.

Wheaton Precious Metals Corp (NYSE:WPM) is one of the most well-known companies in this space (yes, we noticed the name similarity too, and we like it). Wheaton Precious Metals lends money to gold mining companies and gets a portion of the gold that the miner produces down the line.

The benefits of this model are relatively straightforward. Mining and natural resource production is capital intensive but mining companies, and especially the younger ones, can often only gain access to the capital they require on unfavorable terms. Additionally, if they raise through the equities markets, shareholders will often get heavily diluted.

The cash that streaming companies provide is generally nondilutive and it’s on terms that are far more favorable to the miner or producer that needs it.

Why are we rambling on about gold mining?

Well, here’s the thing – Cannabis Wheaton has taken this model and applied it to the cannabis industry. That’s why it’s (sort of) unique.

The company gives cannabis growers and producers money to fund their operations in return for a share of what’s grown and harvested. It also acquires entities in the space and is currently building out a large and well-established distribution network (more on both of these points shortly).

There’s an old saying that goes something like this:

If you want to make money, don’t waste time reinventing the wheel – take something that works in one industry and apply it to another.

And that’s exactly what CBWTF is doing.

 

Fast Moving Operations

There’s no time to hang around as the supply crunch is just around the corner and so one of the criteria we stipulated when our team set out on a search for a top opportunity in this space was that it was already established as a big player and that it was taking numerous, decisive steps towards increasing its presence in the North American cannabis market.

Cannabis Wheaton ticks both of these boxes.

Take a look at some of these recent developments – all achieved during the second half of this 2017:

September 20, 2017 – Exclusive Distribution Alliance:

Cannabis Wheaton Income Corp. (TSX VENTURE: CBW) (“Cannabis Wheaton”, “CW”, or the “Company”) is happy to announce that it has entered an exclusive distribution alliance with the corporate owner of a national chain of independent pharmacies (the “Pharmacy Group”) to develop and implement medical cannabis distribution and retail sale opportunities at all Pharmacy Group locations (collectively, the “Responsible Retailing Program”).

October 05, 2017 – D.O.P.E Note Definitive Agreement Signed:

Cannabis Wheaton Income Corp. (TSX VENTURE: CBW) (“Cannabis Wheaton”or”CW”) and Beleave Inc.

An incredible team

When a company employs this sort of model, in whatever industry, a few things are very important. At the top of the list is the experience, industry knowledge and network reach of the team that’s steering the ship.

And this is yet another box checked for Cannabis Wheaton.

Chairman & Chief Executive Officer is Chuck Rifici, pioneer of the North American cannabis industry who founded Canopy Growth (formerly Tweed Marijuana) and built it into 500,000 square feet of marijuana grow capacity as its CEO. He’s also the Chairman of National Access Cannabis, a care center chain helping patients access the Canadian federal medical cannabis program. That’s a nice distribution contact on its own.

Hugo Alves is Cannabis Wheaton’s President & Director and he’s known as Canada’s leading advisor in the cannabis industry. He has acted as lead counsel or played a key role in a wide variety of transactions since the inception of the cannabis industry in Canada and is widely regarded as a Canadian cannabis industry pioneer.

And there are more big names on the list.

Mike Lickver is the company’s Executive Vice President of Strategy. Jeff Tung, CFA is Chief Financial Officer & Chief Operating Officer. Brad McNamee is CBWTF’s Chief Infrastructure Officer.

External recognition

Unfortunately, we weren’t the first ones to recognize the incredible positioning of Cannabis Wheaton in this industry. Luckily, however, those that beat us to it in the business of highlighting incredible opportunities to traders and investors.

Instead, it was the panel of judges at the 2017 Canadian Cannabis Awards gala, which was held at The Carlu in Toronto earlier in 2017.

On December 4, Wheaton Cannabis announced that it was awarded Startup of the Year at the awards. The Canadian Cannabis Awards are styled as an annual celebration recognizing the people, companies and products that make it great. The majority of awards were decided by the public and a select committee of industry stakeholders.

This means industry insiders as well as members of the public (so, the people that are going to be buying the cannabis that CBWTF is funding the growth of) recognize what Cannabis Wheaton is trying to do (and very much succeeding in doing) in this industry right now.

 

There’s still time… but not much.

As we’ve said, luckily for us, markets are yet to fully latch on to this opportunity and Cannabis Wheaton remains somewhat under the radar. It’s not going to stay that way for long, however.

Take a look at the chart below and you’ll get a sense of what we’re talking about:

CBWTF Daily Chart

CBWTF ChartAs the chart illustrates, the final two weeks of 2017 brought with them a large influx of volume for the company and, with it, a spike in Cannabis Wheaton’s share price to more than $2 a share.

This could be just the beginning of a much larger upside revaluation and, right now, the company’s shares are available at a circa 30% discount to December 2017 highs.

So let’s sum up the opportunity here.

Here’s why you need to put this company on your watchlist right now:

  • A huge supply/demand imbalance is just around the corner in the North American cannabis market.
  • Cannabis Wheaton is using a tried and tested model from another industry to position itself to take advantage of the explosive industry growth.
  • The company has a management team comprised of some of the industry’s top names.
  • Operationally, CBWTF has achieved an incredible amount in a relatively short period of time during 2017.
  • External recognition is already in place and as the recent volume boost shows, markets are starting to take notice of the company and its potential.

So what are you waiting for? Start your research today and make sure you don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity. You’ll be glad you did.

Small Cap Exclusive is owned and operated by JBN PARTNERS LLC, which is a US based corporation. We are paid advertisers, also known as stock touts or stock promoters, who disseminate favorable information (this “Article”) about publicly traded companies (the “Profiled Issuers”).

We publish the Information on our website, smallcapexclusive.com/ and in newsletters, text message alerts, audio services, live interviews, featured “research” reports, on message boards and in email communications for specific time periods that are agreed upon between us and the Profiled Issuer and / or third party paying us. Our publication of the Information is known as a “Campaign”. This information may be sent to potential investors at different times that are minutes, hours, days or even weeks apart. Typically, the trading volume and price of a Profiled Issuer’s securities increases after the information is provided to the first group of investors. Therefore, the later an investor receives the Information, the more likely it is that he will suffer trading losses if they purchase the securities of a Profiled Issuer late in a Campaign. We are paid to advertise the Profiled Issuers, Cannabis Wheaton Income. Small Cap Exclusive has been hired by a third party, Sunrise Media, LLC ., for a period beginning on December 27, 2017 and is scheduled to end on February 24, 2018 to publicly disseminate information about (CBWTF) via website and email. We have been compensated $70,000. We will update any changes to our compensation. We own zero shares of (CBWTF).

Third Parties paying us to market the Profiled Issuer we believe intend to sell their shares they hold while we tell investors to purchase during the Campaign. Cannibis Wheaton Income is a penny stock that was illiquid (little to no trading volume) prior to our Campaign, and therefore these securities are subject to wide fluctuations in trading price and volume. During the Campaign the trading volume and price of the securities of each Profile Issuer will likely increase significantly because of the media exposure. When the Campaign ends, the volume and price of the Profiled Issuer will likely decrease dramatically. As a result, investors who purchase during the Campaign and hold shares of the Profiled Issuer when the Campaign ends will probably lose most, if not all, of their investment.

The Information we publish in the Campaign is only a snapshot that provides only positive information about the Profiled Issuers. The Information consists of only positive content. We do not and will not publish any negative information about the Profiled Issuers; accordingly, investors should consider the Information to be one-sided and not balanced, complete, accurate, truthful and / or reliable. We do not verify or confirm any portion of the Information. We do not conduct any due diligence, nor do we research any aspect of the Information including the completeness, accuracy, truthfulness and / or reliability of the Information. We do not review the Profiled Issuers’ financial condition, operations, business model, management or risks involved in the Profiled Issuer’s business or an investment in a Profiled Issuer’s securities.

All information in our Campaign is publicly available information from 3rd party sources and / or the Profiled Issuers and/or the 3rd parties that hire us. We may also obtain the Information from publicly available sources such as the OTC Markets, Google, NASDAQ, NYSE, Yahoo, Bing, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Edgar database or other available public sources.

We select the stocks we profile and / or pick as we are compensated to advertise them. If an investor relies solely on the Information in making an investment decision it is highly probable that the investor will lose most, if not all, of his or her investment. Investors should not rely on the Information to make an investment decision.

The source of our compensation varies depending upon the particular circumstances of the Campaign. In certain cases, we are compensated by the Profiled Issuers, third party shareholders, and / or other parties related to the Profiled Issuers such as officers and/or directors who will derive a financial or other benefit from an increase in the trading price and/or volume of a Profiled Issuer’s securities.

We make no warranty and / or representation about the Information, including its completeness, accuracy, truthfulness or reliability and we disclaim, expressly and implicitly, all warranties of any kind, including whether the Information is complete, accurate, truthful, or reliable and as such, your use of the Information is at your own risk. The Information is provided as is without limitation.

We are not, and do not act in the capacity of any of the following; as such, you should not construe our activities as involving any of the following: an independent adviser or consultant; a fortune teller; an investment adviser or an entity engaging in activities that would be deemed to be providing investment advice that requires registration either at the federal and / or state level; a broker-dealer or an individual acting in the capacity of a registered representative or broker; a stock picker; a securities trading expert; a securities researcher or analyst; a financial planner or one who engages in financial planning; a provider of stock recommendations; a provider of advice about buy, sell or hold recommendations as to specific securities; or an agent offering or securities for sale or soliciting their purchase.

There are numerous risks associated with each Profiled Issuer and investors should undertake a full review of each Profiled Issuer with the assistance of their financial, legal, and tax advisers prior to purchasing the securities of any Profiled Issuer.

We are not objective or independent and have multiple conflicts of interest. The Profiled Issuers and parties hiring us have conflicts of interest. Third parties that have hired us and own shares will sell these shares while we tell investors to purchase, and this selling of the Profiled Issuer’s securities will likely cause investors to suffer losses.

Our publication of the Information involves actual and material conflicts of interest including but not limited to the fact that we receive monetary compensation in exchange for publishing the (favorable) Information about the Profiled Issuers; and we do not publish any negative information, whatsoever, about the Profiled Issuers; in addition to the fact that while we do not own the Profiled Issuer’s securities, the third parties that hired us do, and intend to sell all of these securities during the Campaign while we publish favorable information that instructs investors to purchase, and this selling of the Profiled Issuer’s securities will likely cause investors to suffer losses.

We are not responsible or liable for any person’s use of the Information or any success or failure that is directly or indirectly related to such person’s use of the Information because we have specifically stated that the information is not reliable and should not be relied upon for any purpose. We are not responsible for omissions and / or errors in the Information and we are not responsible for actions taken by any person who relies upon the Information.

We urge Investors to conduct their own in-depth investigation of the Profiled Issuers with the assistance of their legal, tax and / or investment adviser(s). An investor’s review of the Information should include but not be limited to the Profiled Issuer’s financial condition, operations, management, products and / or services, trends in the industry and risks that may be material to the profiled Issuer’s business and other information he and his advisers deem material to an investment decision. An investor’s review should include, but not be limited to a review of available public sources and information received directly from the Profiled Issuers or from websites such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, OTC Markets, NASDAQ, NYSE, www.sec.gov or other available public sources.

We are providing you with this disclaimer because we are publishing advertisements about penny stocks. Because we are paid to disseminate the Information to the public about securities, we are required by the securities laws including Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to specifically disclose my compensation as well as other important information, This information includes that we may hold, as well as purchase and sell, the securities of a Profiled Issuer before, during and after we publish favorable Information about the Profiled Issuer. We may urge investors to purchase the securities of a Profiled Issuer while we sell my own shares. The anti-fraud provisions of federal and state securities laws require us to inform you that we may engage in buying and selling of Profiled Issuer’s securities before, during and after the Campaigns.

Any investment in the Profiled Issuers involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. The securities may be subject to extreme volume and price volatility, especially during the Campaigns. Favorable past performance of a Profiled Issuer does not guarantee future results. If you purchase the securities of the Profiled Issuers, you should be prepared to lose your entire investment. Some of the risks involved in purchasing securities of the Profiled Issuers include, but are not limited to the risks stated below.

We do not endorse, independently verify or assert the truthfulness, completeness, accuracy or reliability of the Information. We conduct no due diligence or investigation whatsoever of the Information or the Profiled Issuers and we do not receive any verification from the Profiled Issuer regarding the Information we disseminate.

If we publish any percentage gain of a Profiled Issuer from the previous day close in the Information, it is not and should not be construed as an indication that the future stock price or future operational results will reflect gains or otherwise prove to be advantageous to your investment.

The Information may contain statements asserting that a Profiled Issuer’s stock price has increased over a certain period of time which may reflect an arbitrary period of time, and is not predictive or of any analytical quality; as such, you should not rely upon the (favorable) Information in your analysis of the present or future potential of a Profiled Issuer or its securities.

The Information should not be interpreted in any way, shape, form or manner whatsoever as an indication of the Profiled Issuer’s future stock price or future financial performance.

You may encounter difficulties determining what, if any, portions of the Information are material or non-material, making it all the more imperative that you conduct your own independent investigation of the Profiled Issuer and its securities with the assistance of your legal, tax and financial advisor.

When 3rd parties that hire us acquire, purchase and / or sell the securities of the Profiled Issuers, it may (a) cause significant volatility in the Profiled Issuer’s securities; (b) cause temporary but unrealistic increases in volume and price of the Profiled Issuer’s securities; (c) if selling, cause the Profiled Issuer’s stock price to decline dramatically; and (d) permit themselves to make substantial profits while investors who purchase during the Campaign experience significant losses.

The securities of the Profiled Issuers are high risk, unstable, unpredictable and illiquid which may make it difficult for investors to sell their securities of the Profiled Issuers.

We may hire third party service providers and stock promoters to electronically disseminate live news regarding the Profiled Issuers, yet we have no control over the content of and do not verify the information that the Profiled Issuers and/or third party service providers publish. These third party service providers are likely compensated for providing positive information about the Issuer and may fail to disclose their compensation to you.

If a Profiled Issuer is a SEC reporting company, it could be delinquent (not current) in its periodic reporting obligations (i.e., in its quarterly and annual reports), or if it is an OTC Markets Pink Sheet quoted company, it may be delinquent in its Pink Sheet reporting obligations, which may result in OTC Markets posting a negative legend pertaining to the Profiled Issuer at www.otcmarkets.com, as follows: (i) “Limited Information” for companies with financial reporting problems, economic distress, or that are unwilling to file required reports with the Pink Sheets; (ii) “No Information,” which characterizes companies that are unable or unwilling to provide any disclosure to the public markets, to the SEC or the Pink Sheets; and (iii) “Caveat Emptor,” signifying buyers should be aware that there is a public interest concern associated with a company’s illegal spam campaign, questionable stock promotion, known investigation of a company’s fraudulent activity or its insiders, regulatory suspensions or disruptive corporate actions.

If the Information states that a Profiled Issuer’s securities are consistent with the future economic trends or even if your independent research indicates that, you should be aware that economic trends have their own limitations, including: (a) that economic trends or predictions may be speculative; (b) consumers, producers, investors, borrowers, lenders and/or government may react in unforeseen ways and be affected by behavioral biases that we are unable to predict; (c) human and social factors may outweigh future economic trends that we state may or will occur; (d) clear cut economic predictions have their limitations in that they do not account for the fundamental uncertainty in economic life, as well as ordinary life; (e) economic trends may be disrupted by sudden jumps, disruptions or other factors that are not accounted for in economic trends analysis; in other words, past or present data predicting future economic trends may become irrelevant in light of new circumstances and situations in which uncertainty becomes reality rather than predicted economic outcome; or (f) if the trend predicted involves a single result, it ignores other scenarios that may be crucial to make a decision in the event of unknown contingencies.

The Information is presented only as a brief snapshot of the Profiled Issuer and should only be used, at most, and if at all, as a starting point for you to conduct a thorough investigation of the Profiled Issuer and its securities. You should consult your financial, legal or other adviser(s) and avail yourself of the filings and information that may be accessed at www.sec.gov, www.otcmarkets.com or other electronic media, including: (a) reviewing SEC periodic reports (Forms 10-Q and 10-K), reports of material events (Form 8-K), insider reports (Forms 3, 4, 5 and Schedule 13D); (b) reviewing Information and Disclosure Statements and unaudited financial reports filed with the OTCMarkets.com; (c) obtaining and reviewing publicly available information contained in commonly known search engines such as Google; and (d) consulting investment guides at www.sec.gov and www.finra.org. You should always be cognizant that the Profiled Issuers may not be current in their reporting obligations with the SEC and the OTC Markets and/or have negative legends and designations at otcmarkets.com.

Aurora Cannabis Inc. (OTCMKTS:ACBFF) ACBFF leading the way for Cannabis companies?

Today (OTCMKTS:ACBFF)   Aurora Cannabis had gains of more than 7% on news that they will be making investments in Hempco HEMP.V

Both of these companies are leading the way in the cannabis industry. With growing interest from consumers and manufactures alike, hemp products are trending and investors are begging to be part of this movement.

VANCOUVER and BURNABY, BC , June 8, 2017 /CNW/ – Aurora Cannabis Inc. (the “Company” or “Aurora”) (ACB.V) (ACBFF) ( Frankfurt : 21P; WKN: A1C4WM) and Hempco Food and Fiber Inc. (“Hempco”) (HEMP.V) are pleased to announce that Aurora will be making a strategic investment in Hempco for an ownership stake of up to 19.9% on a fully diluted basis, subject to Regulatory and Board approvals, as well as satisfactory completion of due diligence.  Additionally, subject to customary conditions, Aurora will obtain an option to acquire shares from the majority owners of Hempco that, upon exercise of the option, will bring Aurora’s total ownership interest in Hempco to 50.1% on a fully diluted basis.

 

This news brought hungry investors into both ACBFF and HEMP.V with gains in ACBFF of more than 7% and HEMP.V showing double digit gains around 14%.

Hempco is one of the world’s largest industrial producers of hemp and hemp products, and currently offers three primary product lines: (1) bulk and packaged food products (e.g. hemp protein powder, hemp seeds or hearts, hemp oil etc.); (2) hemp fibre; and (3) nutraceuticals. Hempco’s line of packaged foods are sold under the brand “Planet Hemp” and are distributed globally in seven countries.

 

The target market for these products includes, but is not limited to, health conscious consumers, including vegetarians seeking to supplement protein and reduce or eliminate animal product intake, as well as an increasing number of consumers focused on managing and preventing a variety of health issues through a healthy diet, known as “LOHAS”, Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability, and “millenials” looking for clean and “green” products.

In August of 2016 ACBFF was sitting around $0.35 a share but just a few months later it hit a high around $2.70 in the middle of November. Over the next 6 months ACBFF bounced between $1.70 and $2.65 with average volume over the last 30 days around 490,000 shares. Just in the last week some heavy than normal selling brought the PPC to a low of $1.50

 

We will continue to watch ACBFF over the short term and keep you updated on any changes that deserve your attention.
