When a hot toy or gadget is introduced, knock offs appear at much lower prices and often at much lower quality too. Companies and stock promoters are not any different. People start promoting themselves as investment gurus because of their three digit ROI in this industry and you can benefit from their sage advice simply by subscribing. Companies emerge competing for investment dollars based on their plans and perhaps an LOI only. This again is where the dot-com comparison is fair along with companies with questionable valuations.

Scorecard the companies that you are looking at. If you like two companies equally and one is say Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX:WEED; OTC:TWMJf) and the other say is High Hampton Holdings Corp (CSE:HC; OTC:HHPHF)… consider what is more likely, for the share price of TWMJF to reach $45 before the share price of HHPHF to reach to reach $1.60?

As we have been saying for over 18 months now – consider Hemp companies as the potential of that global industry dwarfs that of the legal marijuana industry and particularly on a global scale. One of our case studies this month looks at a little known Hemp company that just may surprise even more so than it has already. You may have noticed that others have recently realized what we have been saying since the early part of 2016 – HEMP!

Stay on top of news! We coined referring to this industry as living vibrant ecosystem because it is the only way to view it as evidenced by the many others that subsequently have embraced such terms. For example … States most likely to legalize cannabis in 2018.

2018 is Day Zero with the largest state by population legalizing recreational marijuana along with the nationwide legalization of an adult recreational marijuana market in Canada due in the summer. Plus the other US states that have or are expected to legalize medicinal and/or recreational markets.

And most important of all … because it is YOUR MONEY. You need to ensure it is earning the optimum ROI based on your risk tolerance and your time horizon. It matters little if a share price appreciated 4000% if it is a company that legitimately failed your metrics for investing. Do not compromise those metrics unless warranted and have no regret. If you were earning say 15% before and are now earning say 23% that is a greater than 50% increase in your ROI simply by expanding into this industry without compromising your risk profile. Remember, we are the leaders as our content demonstrates. You will do well just by being a part of our army of subscribers as leading is usually preferable to following when investing in stocks in a dynamic market.
