Going for the Gold in the Retail #Cannabis Market; (TSX: $WEED.TO) (NYSE: $CGC), (CSE: $GGB.C) (OTCQB: $GGBXF), (TSX: $ACB.TO) (NYSE: $ACB), (CSE: $CURA.C) ($CURLF)


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 4, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the future of the retail cannabis market and companies competing for market share.
According to New Frontier Data, there are an estimated 272 million cannabis consumers globally, equivalent to 4% of the world's population; and more importantly, these consumers collectively spend approximately $356 billion each year on cannabis across legal and illicit markets.
With all this at stake, cannabis companies are positioning themselves in the retail markets with an acquisition strategy targeting premier retail brands.
In September 2018, Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED.TO) (NYSE: CGC) announced the closing of the acquisition of Hiku Brands to strengthen their retail and brand portfolio.
"Leaves begin to turn. Canopy adds bold new brands. Ready for retail," commented Bruce Linton, Chairman & Co-CEO, Canopy Growth. "The Tweed and Vert brands we've built are now complemented with the likes of DOJA, Tokyo Smoke, Maitri, and Van der Pop, placing the taste-makers of tomorrow's cannabis industry on the same team."
In October 2018, Canopy announced the launch of a new brand for the recreational market in Canada; LBS. The LBS brand slogan - "Worth Its Weight In Gold" - is a reference to the care and quality put into the brand's products and also to its roots in California, the Golden State.
Talking about the brand, Mark Zekulin, President & Co-CEO said, "Canopy Growth was founded to pursue a 'house of brands' strategy in order to be inclusive across multiple demographics and across multiple cannabis markets."
Using a similar strategy, Green Growth Brands, Inc. (CSE:GGB.CN) (GGBXF) plans to grow the world's premier cannabis retailing business. On January 30th the company announced it executed an arm's length definitive agreement to acquire control of ZLJT LLC & Arizona Natural Pain Solutions Inc., collectively referred to as "Desert Rose". Desert Rose holds a license for a vertically-integrated operation in Arizona, including retail, cultivation & infusion (kitchen).
"We were very impressed with the quality of the operations held by Arizona Natural Pain Solutions," said Green Growth Brands CEO, Peter Horvath. "At Desert Rose, the team is dedicated to providing their customers with medical marijuana products that are pure, safe and efficient, while striving to keep their costs as affordable as possible."
According to the website, "Green Growth Brands expects to dominate the cannabis and CBD market with a portfolio of emotion-driven brands that people love. Led by Peter Horvath, the GGB team is full of retail and consumer packaged goods experts with decades of experience building successful brands."
In December 2018, Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB.TO) (NYSE: ACB) announced that it entered into an agreement to invest $10 million in High Tide Inc., a privately held, Alberta-based, retail-focused cannabis and lifestyle accessories company.
High Tide is developing an expanding network across Canada of cannabis and cannabis accessory retail stores, as well as manufacturing and distributing branded cannabis accessories which positions it exceptionally well to capitalize on the Canadian adult-use cannabis industry. Through its two wholesale businesses, Famous Brandz and RGR Canada and the 19 existing Smoker's Corner retail locations, High Tide serves more than 170,000 retail customers per year.
Getting it right when it comes to retail and branding for the cannabis sector is Curaleaf Holdings (CSE: CURA) (OTCBB: CURLF). Curaleaf is the largest national retail dispensary brand in the US, as well as a premium mainstream cannabis brand available in multiple states and product formats. The company targeted retail channels include: E-commerce (DTC), e-retailers, the natural products/wellness sections of grocery stores and mass merchandisers, high-end spas, pet stores, vape shops, and dispensaries.
Just like any other sector, the cannabis consumer's brand experience will lead to the success of each company. As they jockey for position, Green Growth Brands (CSE:GGB.CN) (GGBXF) is betting on a team that knows the retail market and all about 'going for the gold'.
For investors following cannabis stocks, Investor Ideas has created a stock directory of publicly traded CSE, TSX, TSXV, OTC, NASDAQ, NYSE, ASX Marijuana/Hemp Stocks

Investorideas.com Newswire - The #AI EYE- AI's Rising Tide Lifts Industry Verticals; (NYSE: $DE) (TSXV: $SLL.V) (OTCQB: $STLHF) (NASDAQ: $ISRG) (NYSE: $BA)

Investorideas.com Newswire - The #AI EYE- AI's Rising Tide Lifts Industry Verticals; (NYSE: $DE) (TSXV: $SLL.V) (OTCQB: $STLHF) (NASDAQ: $ISRG) (NYSE: $BA)



The #AI EYE - AI's Rising Tide Lifts Industry Verticals; (NYSE: $DE) (TSXV: $SLL.V) (OTCQB: $STLHF) (NASDAQ: $ISRG) (NYSE: $BA)


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 4, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering Artificial Intelligence issues a special edition of The AI Eye, looking at how this technology is disrupting multiple industry verticals and shifting them into a new era of efficiency.
Recent data from Transparency Market Research indicates that the broader global AI market is projected to hit $3.06 trillion USD by 2024. However, though AI's seemingly inexorable rise is widely reported, it is also notable how the technology is being seized upon to disrupt various industry verticals and usher sectors into a new era of efficiency and innovation.
One of these is the agriculture industry. Digital Journal cites research from HTF Market Intelligence showing that AI in agriculture will be worth $2.63 billion USD by 2025. Deere & Company (NYSE:DE), the makers of John Deere tractors, are at the vanguard of this with their acquisition of computer vision and robotics company Blue River Technology in 2017. Chicago Business Journal reports that at CES 2019, Deere exhibited an AI-powered, self-driving tractor which can "save many crops" that even experienced drivers couldn't avoid destroying. Alex Purdy, head of John Deere labs, told the publication:
"We certainly are known for our muscle on the farm. We want to be equally as known for the brains on the farm. We've been investing for dozens of years on technology and solutions that have really transformed agriculture that augment the muscle to be a lot more intelligent. So, this is kind of our coming out party to the tech audience.... We are now here really to open [ourselves] up to the world."
The lithium-ion battery market currently faces the problem of high demand but with a potential supply shock. While the market is projected to hit $139.36 billion by 2026, environmentally conscious regulation and mine shortages threaten the vitality of the industry. One company, Standard Lithium (TSXV:SLL) (OTCQB:STLHF), has responded by developing and implementing AI enabled high-speed, multi-image photo-microscopy and computer image recognition in a prototype pilot plant for lithium carbonate crystallization. The new tech has resulted in the company producing its first quantity of commercial grade battery quality lithium carbonate at the prototype plant. It's a very simple process that isolates and removes lithium from underground water formations. It's clean, cheap and FAST. This technological breakthrough reduces the time to extract lithium from 18 months to 1 hour.
Dr. Andy Robinson, President and COO of Standard Lithium, commented:
"Whilst we had previously made 'battery quality' carbonate at bench scale using our proprietary technology, we consider it an important milestone that we can achieve the same very high levels of purity at the larger scale of our prototype pilot. This has provided Standard Lithium, our Technical Team and our design partners with all the confidence needed to commence detailed design on the main crystallization pilot plant, and this work is now ongoing."
Real advances are also being achieved with AI in healthcare, a market which is projected to grow from USD 2.1 billion in 2018 to USD 36.1 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 50.2% during the forecast period. Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISRG) is one of the best examples of how AI and robotics can make quantum leaps in healthcare. Using robotics and AI to advance surgical technology, the company's  da Vinci Surgical System was one of the first robotic-assisted, minimally invasive surgical systems cleared by the FDA. Today, a family of da Vinci systems and technologies is used by surgeons in all 50 U.S. states and 66 countries around the world
Calling it the next era of surgical innovation, for narrow access urologic surgery, the da Vinci SP® system enables surgeons to operate through one incision. Designed to complement the da Vinci X® and da Vinci Xi® systems, the da Vinci SP provides surgeons with a familiar user experience for single port access.
The aviation market is also being disrupted by AI technology, with research from Technavio indicating a CAGR of nearly 38 percent from 2018-2022. The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA), which is one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in the world and over a century old, recently completed the first test flight of its autonomous passenger air vehicle (PAV) prototype in Manassas, Virginia, executing a controlled takeoff, hover and landing. Steve Nordlund, vice president and general manager of Boeing NeXt, said:
"Boeing was there when the aviation industry was born and in our second century, we will unlock the potential of the urban air mobility market. From building air vehicles to airspace integration, we will usher in a future of safe, low-stress mobility in cities and regions around the world."
Artificial Intelligence is already widely recognized as a transformative technology in its own right, but its disruptive effect on varied sectors across the economy is an increasingly significant story as well.

Today's podcast overview/transcript:
Good afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com "potcast", looking at cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

Aphria Inc. announced that it has completed its first transfer of plant cuttings from four of the Company's cannabis strains to Denmark-based Schroll Medical, as part of the Company's previously announced Strategic Partnership with Schroll. The shipment was completed under permits issued by the relevant health authorities, including an export permit from Health Canada, an import permit from the Danish Medicines Agency and a phytosanitary certificate from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
"We are pleased to introduce the first four Aphria strains to be produced in Europe, through our strategic alliance with Schroll," said Hendrik Knopp, Managing Director of Aphria Germany, who is overseeing the Partnership on behalf of Aphria and Schroll. "This marks another important milestone for Aphria as we extend our leadership position in the European market, and it gives me joy to be able to say today that we literally have a good thing growing in Europe."
Westleaf Inc. announced the closing of two recently announced acquisitions, which support its strategy of acquiring premium assets across the cannabis value chain. The transactions were previously announced on January 24, 2019 and January 28, 2019, respectively.
  • Closing of Option - Canndara Canada Inc. Westleaf has closed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of Canndara, for an aggregate purchase price of $48.4 million.

  • Closing of Definitive Agreement - Delta 9 Cannabis Inc. Westleaf has also closed its previously announced acquisition of Delta 9's 50% interest in the Delta West extraction facility, bringing Westleaf's total ownership to 100%. The purchase price was paid by way of the payment of $1 million and the issuance of an aggregate of 5,600,000 Common Shares to Delta 9 that, based on the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange of $2.67 per Common Share on January 25, 2019, represents an aggregate purchase price of approximately $14.95 million.
Liberty Health Sciences Inc., a provider of high quality cannabis, announced today that The British Standards Institution (BSI) has awarded a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certificate to Liberty Health Sciences medical cannabis manufacturing facility, located at Liberty 360 Innovation Campus property in Gainesville, FL.

"Receiving GMP certification at an additional facility is a major milestone for Liberty Health Sciences and it demonstrates our commitment to producing the highest quality and safest products possible for our customers throughout the state of Florida," said George Scorsis, CEO of Liberty Health Sciences. "This achievement reflects the incredibly high standards we expect of ourselves and that our clients expect as a patient provider.

As we enter the weekend and a new month, the crypto total market cap is clocking in at $114 billion USD, according to CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin (BTC), which is trading for $3478 at press time, has hit its sixth consecutive month of losses, even after briefly rallying to the $4000 mark in early January. Directly behind it, in terms of market cap, are XRP and Ether (ETH), which are trading for $0.30 and $107, respectively.
In a blog post on Medium yesterday, Fidelity Digital Assets revealed that its cryptocurrency trading and storage platform is in a "final testing and process refinement" phase. The platform was initially announced in October of 2018 and Fidelity is "currently serving a select set of eligible clients" as they "continue to build" their "initial solutions". An excerpt from the post reads:
Our operations, risk, and compliance teams are actively working with auditors to refine our policies and procedures, adapt existing operational processes, and to set new benchmarks for this aspect of cryptographic and blockchain-based finance.
The CBOE (Chicago Board Options Exchange) has re-submitted a rule change to list and trade shares of SolidX Bitcoin Shares issued by the VanEck SolidX Bitcoin Trust. The news was tweeted by VanEck digital asset strategy lead Gabor Gurbacs yesterday. If successful, the rule change could allow the Cboe BZX Exchange to list shares of a bitcoin ETF trust, which many believe would be a game-changer in terms of bringing new money into the space.
A press release yesterday indicates that crypto liquidity provider B2C2's UK subsidiary, B2C2 OTC Ltd., has received authorization from the UK's Financial Conduct Authority to arrange and deal in Contracts for Difference (CFDs) with eligible counterparties and professional clients. B2C2 founder and CEO Max Boonen commented:
"We are excited to have received authorisation from the FCA to introduce a cryptocurrency CFD product. Eligible counterparties and professional clients can now gain derivative exposure to the cryptocurrency markets, benefiting from the competitive pricing and liquidity they're accustomed to receiving from B2C2 while avoiding the risks associated with crypto custody."
Elsewhere in the UK, London South East reports that blockchain startup SatoshiPay has partnered with Axel Springer SE, one of Europe's largest digital publishers. The partnership will enable users to pay for content with the blockchain-powered SatoshiPay Wallet, which will be used to send direct payments from the user's device to the publisher without any intermediary. Meinhard Benn, Founder and CEO of SatoshiPay commented:
"We are excited to have Axel Springer as a partner, and one that already recognises the immense potential of blockchain technology. As one of the few companies with a market-ready blockchain payment solution, we want to bring this technology into the mainstream. This has been SatoshiPay's vision since its foundation in 2014. We would also like to thank the Stellar Development Foundation, which is in full support of this partnership".
