    I’m thinking if Constellation bought into large company like Canopy Growth, that likewise Budweiser would buy into a large company, possibly Aurora or Aphria?

    Zachary Scheidt of The Takeover Alert “I can also divulge that this company is building a marijuana growing facility that will increase its production 8 times by the end of this year.”; I cannot find a press release from HIKU; could only find planned greatly increased production by end of 2019. Join by June 20???, no way Acquisition that fast. Even HIKU April 19 announced acquisition of WeedMD probably won’t close/settle until next month June. Just like this last weeks announcement of Aurora OTC ACBFF Acquisition Agreement of MedReLeaf OTC MEDFF is targeting August for closing the deal. Lots of M & A’s going on in the Canadian Cannabis industry.
    As always, I think Travis has this right. Don’t waste your $1750.

    Travis, once again, you the man man! You dig deeper than Chinese coal miners to get to the motherlode! I really appreciate you digging up what Zack Scheidt’s been teasing lately. And I’m with you on leaving pot stocks alone! I came late to the party last year, buying in December, and watching 5 of them rank shamelessly. Only WEED has come back up to periscope depth since I put my money down. The rest are hanging around the 45% UNDER what I paid for them! I paid my two dollars to whatever premium subscription crew was pitching them, and as you said earlier in this, NOBODY offers a cash refund anymore, trying to reverse the bullshit by making YOU feel guilty about making THEM take it on the chin and give you another free year of gutterballs! I’ve had it with all of those premium disservices! Never again. Until they become more transparent and responsible and forthcoming on the refunds, I’ll trust a trained monkey throwing darts at the big board before them.

    You’re also spot on with governments and corps asking too much for the ganja mahn, and I’ve seen it first hand here in CanaDUH! The government piled on to tobacco so hard, that a deck of darts was selling for a dime back in the late ’90’s! All of a sudden, ‘the man’ notices that tobacco revenues are waaaay down, in SPITE of the sky high deck price! And lo and behold, it’s on accounta the chugs in Onterrible hacking into them in two ways. One was, they were buying smokes at duty free shops across the border, and then smuggling them back and undercutting the guvmint by miles! As well, they were growing their own and selling manufactured smokes for dirt cheap. It was so egregious, the guvmint fingered they were a Billion $ short, courtesy of them! So miraculously, the price fell to like $7.50 overnight, and they’re still having a hard time getting any traction!

    And that’s why I’ll jolly well wait ’til the price craters here, like it has in Washington so I can have a good laugh at the government. It’s a hollow victory I know, but still, I just love seeing the government look even stupider than they normally do!

    In the meantime, thanks for letting us know about HIKU!

    If BUD gets into the mj space it means THEE Cindy McCain becomes the Queen of cannabis further isolating “Reefer Madness” freak Jeff Sessions from the mainstream. This really blows my mind, LOL.

  5. winberry says:

    As with any investment that concerns the health of people using it or drinking it, you should be concerned with the growing of the product as people who are aware of the use for medical purposes look to see if pesticides are used.

    Entering the emerging Marijuana market probably makes sense for companies such as STZ & BUD – even on account of the potential of it by sheer numbers only.

    In the U.S., even though most Marijuana is illegal, the market was estimated to be worth $6.6 billion in 2016. Compare that to the total sales of coffee totaling $5.17 billion.

    GreenWave Advisors now puts the U.S. legal Marijuana market as big as $35 billion by 2020. It simply cannot be ignored …

    ESTR: I hold few warrants but I ‘m too much inexperienced to short it yet (at least confortably).

    Marijuana stock: THCX-TSXV is one of three official authorized providers for SAQ – Quebec’s provincial governmental only retailer. The price is low, the business seems pretty well managed. Could be a potential takeover candidate by larger competitor.

  9. backoffice says:

    Might be confusing Bud selling Buds, I can see it now, you go to a store and ask for a Bud, and the clerk asks,”Are you gonna drink it or smoke it?”

    Thank you Travis!! I love your insight and research. You saved me and many others from making a bad decision and wasting money on The Takeover Alert! I admit that I was tempted but did some research online and found your blog. So glad I did! Even the $550 three month offer is a rip off w/ no guarantee. Here is what the website says on the order page right before you subscribe…

    “With the money I’ve earmarked for this project, I simply cannot offer any refunds. *Please note: we simply cannot offer the Samsung Tablet on the 3 month offer.”

    What a joke! I still think this industry has huge potential and is worth investing in, especially for companies that have value when prices dip due to media, FUD, etc.

  11. backoffice says:

    Where can I get a listing of warrants for the cannabis industry?
    Thanks

    Have to agree with you Travis… “Actually I’d argue that the real revolution might come with some strong regulation so they finally have to stop labeling Bud as a Beer”.. ..classic comment – I might stick it on my Bumper !

    As a purist Beer drinker (nach dem deutschen Reinheitsgebot eg Krombacher) and THE Original Hungarian Budweiser (name “stolen”by a US Beer MANUFACTURER !) and also Real Ale “Winter Royal” from the Marlow Brewery in Buckinghamshire,UK )..it is sacrilege to call Bud Lite a BEER.

    It must have been “brewed” for little girls who drink it whilst chewing Strawberry Flavoured Gum !!!and the Gender-Benders..so common in the US !
    I’m so glad for you guys that the Trade Wars have not, so far, stretched to EU exporting BEER to the US !

    I hope Bud does dip it’s toes into the MJ industry…a single drop of a 1% dilution of CBD Oil (water Soluble , of course) will do wonders for your so called BEERS………….Cheers and Bottoms Up to the GB’s of you!

  13. And now Hiku Brands gets taken over by Canopy Growth, in an all-share deal that provided about a 20% pop for the share price of Hiku.

    So in some ways that’s a validation that what’s important to the marijuana business right now is developing brands that have some customer appeal and hoping to build early customer loyalty… but it’s also a reminder that this is a crazy sector of the market, and someone who was convinced that they were developing the next mega-brands in Marijuana was more than willing to sell out to a competitor for a tiny premium. It’s very expensive to build brands these days, unless you get lucky.

    The more you read, the more Canopy seems to have the most potential as a collection of brands, which is what has always appealed to me a tiny bit about them… and it’s doing a lot of the right things and might end up being the most successful business in the space once it all shakes out in Canada… but it’s still hard to get your head around a $6 billion valuation.
