Bitcoin (BTC) has posted some mild growth since the last Crypto Corner on Monday, clocking in at a trading price of around $6,600 at press time, according to data from CoinMarketCap. It did, however, make a short-lived bullish gesture earlier today when it peaked at just under $6,900 before fizzling out. This was possibly a response to the announcement earlier that the U.S. government had agreed to a $2 trillion economic stimulus package. A report from Reuters on the subject quotes Moh Siong Sim, Currency Analyst, Bank of Singapore:

“The market has been in a dollar-cash-is-king situation...but there is only so much the Federal Reserve can do. Now we are seeing the fiscal bazooka in action, and that should help further ease the dollar funding stress.”

Crypto payments firm NetCents Technology Inc. (CSE:NC) has announced the hiring of Pat Albright as Senior Vice President of Strategic Development. Albright had previously been Senior Vice President of Marketing and Business at Canada’s largest payments processor Moneris Solutions. Clayton Moore, CEO NetCents, commented:

"I think investors will find that our hiring someone of Mr. Albright's caliber and experience, and tasking him with achieving our lofty growth expectations will be a prescient move. We are now managing the development and growth of many revenue streams, and they each deserve significant attention as they are all massive opportunities, we are focused on being pro-active on these business lines and not reactive, and Mr. Albright will bring the rigor and experience we need to foresee any growth and scaling issues caused by a rapidly expanding user base across many business verticals. I look forward to working with him."

Graph Blockchain Inc. (CSE:GBLC) has announced a financial advisory agreement with Gravitas Securities Inc. (GSI) “to assess future business opportunities and develop a capital markets strategy as the Company's financial strategic advisor, while the Company moves in to creating its blockchain supported e-Commerce marketplace for the booming psychedelic and ancillary sector.” Christian Scovenna, President & COO of Graph Blockchain, said:

"We are pleased to enter into an Advisory Agreement with GSI. This announcement of having an investment bank like GSI solidifies GBLC's commitment to spearhead the Company's direction into the e-commerce psychedelics sector while creating shareholder value. GSI has demonstrated exemplary work with public companies with an affinity for growth via M&A proves significant value it can add. We are excited to have GSI assess future business opportunities and develop a capital markets strategy as our strategic financial advisor."

Churchill Downs Incorporated (NasdaqGS:CHDN) has announced the temporary suspension of live racing at Miami Valley Raceway at Miami Valley Gaming in Lebanon, Ohio, and Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans, Louisiana in compliance with local authorities to clamp down on risks presented by COVID-19. This news comes after the company had announced the postponement of the 146th Kentucky Derby, one of thoroughbred racing’s biggest events, until September 5, 2020.

Malibu Boats, Inc. (NasdaqGS:MBUU) has taken actions to “ensure the health and safety of its key stakeholders.” Malibu CEO Jack Springer explained:

“We are all navigating uncharted waters, as uncertainty in the broader macro-economic environment has reached unprecedented levels. In this moment, the health and safety of our employees, dealers and customers remain our top priority. As a result, we made the difficult decision to suspend operations at our manufacturing facilities out of an abundance of caution for the communities we serve.

Despite the volatility in the global markets, Malibu remains in an excellent financial position. To ensure we maintain sufficient liquidity, we have drawn just under $100 million on our current revolver to support operations and strategic investments in the event of a prolonged lower demand environment. Further, our historical commitment to operational excellence and vertical integration initiatives will allow us to withstand the downward retail momentum that is beginning to reverberate throughout the world. These strategies will allow us to remain nimble and align our cost structure quickly to lowered retail demand to preserve margins.”

Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games Postponed Until 2021

After weeks of speculation a joint statement from the International Olympic Committee and the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee have confirmed that the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games have been postponed until summer 2021 as the world battles to contain the Coronavirus. While the games have been canceled during the two world wars (1916, 1940, 1944), this marks the first time the games have been postponed or canceled in peacetime. An excerpt from the statement reads:

The leaders agreed that the Olympic Games in Tokyo could stand as a beacon of hope to the world during these troubled times and that the Olympic flame could become the light at the end of the tunnel in which the world finds itself at present. Therefore, it was agreed that the Olympic flame will stay in Japan. It was also agreed that the Games will keep the name Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020.

An article from CNBC, which was written before the announcement was made, quotes Oxford Economics’ Stefan Angrick on the “limited” economic impact of delaying the games.

“We think about it this way: The games raise economic activity by triggering construction in the years leading up to the event, and by boosting inbound tourism and associated consumption at the time the Games take place. As construction is complete, that impact is already reflected in past GDP data and won’t change.”

“In a hypothetical scenario without the coronavirus pandemic, such a step would have a significant impact. But considering the situation we’re in, with tourism coming to a virtual standstill and consumption set to decline, the additional impact of postponing the Olympics is fairly modest.”

Today’s podcast overview/transcript:

Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com "Potcast" featuring cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

In today’s podcast we are looking at how the COVID-19 Pandemic has pushed cannabis fully away from fringe to “essential” and how psilocybin could be next.

A recent Forbes article discussed how, “In state after state, governors and public health officials are deeming cannabis businesses “essential” operations that can stay open amid coronavirus-related forced closures and stay-at-home mandates. People might not be able to go bowling or see a movie in theaters, but they can still stock up on marijuana.”

The article continues to discuss which states have declared cannabis essential, such as California, and how even some states where cannabis business was still being scrutinized heavily have even allowed the continuation of medical and recreational cannabis operations.

In Canada, in recent news, “Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced Monday that all non-essential businesses in the province will be required to shut down effective Tuesday at 11:59 p.m. for a period of at least 14 days. A list of businesses that will remain open will be released Tuesday, the government said in a release.”

The article continued saying that, “Licensed cannabis stores will remain open in Ontario during a provincial emergency shutdown of non-essential businesses designed to limit the spread of COVID-19, according to two sources directly familiar with the matter.”

Now as cannabis pushes from recreational pass-time or fringe medication to “essential” medication in North America, this is driving the push for another fringe drug with massive potential, psilocybin.

There has been a meme floating around the internet as of late during the COVID-19 Pandemic (image below), and while this may seem silly to some, many are taking this opportunity to push local governments into reconsidering magic mushrooms.

In other recent news from California, “a campaign to legalize psilocybin mushrooms in California is asking the state to allow online signature gathering for their ballot petition, arguing that the coronavirus outbreak necessitates an alternative means to put the psychedelic reform measure before voters in November.”

Decriminalize California, the group behind the proposed initiative, partnered with two other campaigns in the state to write a letter to the governor, secretary of state and attorney general, requesting the emergency policy change. It’s the latest in a series of similar requests from drug policy reform campaigns across the U.S., with activists scrambling to qualify their measures for state ballots amid the pandemic.

In news from Hawaii, “Two members of the Hawaii Legislature introduced a set of resolutions aimed at studying the medicinal applications of psilocybin in order to develop a plan that ensures the availability of the compound for adult patients in the state.”

This leads to companies like Champignon Brands Inc. (CSE: SHRM), a health and wellness company specializing in the formulation of a suite of medicinal mushrooms and mushroom-infused products, who recently introduced new proprietary intellectual property into its vertically integrated alternative medicine product range. The Company announced its entry into a definitive agreement, signed March 18, 2020, to acquire Novo Formulations Ltd.

Novoformulations’ novel delivery system platforms, as well as complementary R&D advancements, will accelerate the architecture of Champignon’s patent portfolio as the Company persists in being a first mover in the existing consumer package goods and emerging psychedelic medicine arenas.

Novoformulations is a specialty biotechnology company focused on developing novel and innovative delivery systems for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. The Novoformulations team consists of a roster of PhDs and technician level scientists, each with decades of experience building novel defensible medical IP, as well as subsequently developing and commercially marketing proprietary delivery platforms.

Novoformulations is presently working with ketamine, anaesthetics and adaptogenics, as well as a host of pharmaceuticals and natural molecules at a purpose-built GMP and pharmaceutical (DIN) licensed facility located in Quebec, Canada, and an accredited pharmacy in Ontario. There, the Company is actively formulating, developing and commercializing bioavailable delivery platforms, including:

● Transdermal (topical);

● Intranasal;

● Sublingual; and,

● Novel oral and suppository.

Also based in Quebec, Novoformulations’ manufacturing partner will process its novel delivery platforms and formulations into marketable end products at its 40,000-square-foot GMP-certified, Health Canada and Federal Drug Administration (FDA)-approved manufacturing facility.

Champignon plans to leverage Novoformulations’ existing product development infrastructure and licensed affiliates to pursue psilocybin and MDMA based formulations, with the objective of developing and commercializing rapid onset treatments capable of improving health outcomes, including Depression, PTSD and substance and alcohol use disorders (DPS). The current marketplace for pharmacologic DPS treatments in North America exceeds $10 billion annually.¹

“The recent acquisitions of Novoformulations and Artisan Growers are absolutely accretive to each other and to our stated business objectives of enhancing the health and wellbeing of millions of consumers via our suite of medicinal mushroom extracts, mushroom-infused products and now novel delivery systems,” Champignon Chief Executive Officer Gareth Birdsall commented.

“The existing infrastructure inherited from these recent acquisitions positions us as a leading participant throughout the entire alternative medicine lifecycle, from R&D to formulation, manufacturing and end distribution. The end result will be a turnkey solution that incorporates both standardized ingredient mixtures and pharmaceutical grade products that can now be marketed via a variety of proprietary delivery systems,” continued Gareth Birdsall. “The addition of Novoformulations allows Champignon to deliver medications in a safer, more effective and more expeditious manner than our peers, from bench top in the laboratory, to preclinical and clinical trials. We are intent on the commercialization of products throughout North America, as rapidly as is safely and effectively practicable."
