J. Peter Lynch has worked for 36 years as a Wall Street security analyst, an independent security analyst and private investor in small emerging technology companies. He has been actively involved in following developments in the renewable energy sector since 1977 and is regarded as an expert in this field.

Lynch discusses how 2019 is the year of solar and how for the first time, solar has the economics solidly on its side.

Solar and green companies mentioned in his interview include SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ: SPWR), First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR),  Singlepoint (OTCQB: SING), Canadian Solar Inc.( NASDAQ: CSIQ), JinkoSolar Holding Co. (NYSE: JKS),  Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (NYSE: HSAI),  Telsa, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) and battery maker BYD Company Limited (OTC: BYDDF).

Talking about Tesla, Lynch notes that “Elon Musk is a hero of the planet whether Tesla succeeds or not. He is the one that moved the electric car ten years of where it was going to be.”

Pablo Diaz, CEO of Direct Solar of America and Direct Solar Capital, a subsidiary of SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING) discusses recent news and developments including “Direct Solar Achieves $3,419,312 in Solar Contracts in Just 60 Days.”

When asked about recent sales of SinglePoint’s Direct Solar and if that was an indicator of the trends, Lynch noted, “For a lot of smaller companies starting up at this time; you will see them get bought out by the bigger solar companies.”

Diaz also shares insight into the recent news that they have added a new arm, Direct Solar Capital, an alternative energy financing solution.

We talked about the shift in investor sentiment for greener futures that is seen in recent market investing.

“Lowering our carbon footprint, how do we do that? Well there’s only a few ways we can, and solar is at the top of that solution chain. It’s created a reality where there’s some real social growth and in the same context some economic achievements that are really quite compelling….It’s exciting when you see a solution driving economic returns and are also helping society at the same time…. We are going through great transformation from old technology to new technology.”

 We Spoke to Pablo on recent news of Direct Solar’s new financing arm, Direct Solar Capital.

“Lots of Wall Street capital on residential and there is a lot of capital for big utility scale projects, what’s been missing is small and mid-cap funding for commercial projects…just like we created a solution for consumers with direct solar, we are also creating a solution with Direct Solar Capital.”

As the interview continued, Pablo’s passion for the solar industry and to the success of Direct Solar’s achievements was evident.

Diaz said passionately, “Let me tell you why I love solar. One-  when we leave a customer’s location they are in a better economic situation then before we arrived; they are winning. Two- the environment wins, I personally love that. Three- the enterprise, the organization wins. Again a win, a win, and a win. That trifecta of solutions is a beautiful place to be.”

Listen to the podcast for Pablo’s full answer of why he says working with SinglePoint is

“A positive, a positive and positive.”

 

Summing up the sector and the sentiment, Lynch noted, “Since I have been involved in all the ups and downs of solar, what  I see now that is most exciting is that dollars and sense are on solar’s side.  Millennials are all for solar. In the United States, when people are surveyed, the number one thing they want is for the country to use more solar and wind and the second thing they want is the legalization of cannabis. So, I guess the millennials are driving the truck here.”

Today’s podcast features an interview with Derek Thomas, the VP of Business Development at Vertis Farms Inc. (OTC: VFRM), where we discussed Veritas’ recent distribution agreement with Kroger (NYSE: KR), the CBD market in general as well as how Veritas has helped separate themselves from other companies in the space.

Veritas Farms, Inc. is a vertically integrated agribusiness focused on producing superior quality, whole plant, full spectrum hemp oils and extracts containing naturally occurring cannabinoids.  The Company currently owns and operates a 140-acre farm and production facilities in Pueblo, Colorado, and is registered with the Colorado Department of Agriculture to grow industrial hemp. The Company markets and sells products under its Veritas Farms™ brand and manufactures private label products for a number of leading distributors and retailers. The company most recently announced significantly expanding its social media influencer partnerships. 

Since launching its social media influencer partnership campaign in mid-2018, the program has been a driver of revenue via the Veritas Farms ecommerce website, grown brand awareness, and helped educate consumers and the general public about the benefits of its Farm-to-Home™ full spectrum hemp oil products.

The recent expansion of the already robust campaign saw an increase of monthly partnerships to over 30 influencers with a combined 25 million followers for the month of July 2019.  Notable macro-influencer partnerships include vegan and eco lifestyle influencer Sara Underwood with 9.2 million followers, an animal rehabilitation facility that shares its chronicles through Juniper The Fox with 2.8 million followers and healthy lifestyle expert Diary Of A Fit Mom with 1.2 million followers. Other impactful partnerships include a rising R&B star with 8.1 million followers, a prominent producer/entertainer with 1.4 million followers, an orthodontist with 680,000 followers, and a popular sex therapist with over 1 million followers.

Derek commented, “We are excited to continue to grow our social media influencer partnerships that have proven to be an effective marketing platform for Veritas Farms.  Partnering with innovative social media influencers that share our passion for full spectrum hemp oil helps to grow brand awareness and builds a strong community of educated Veritas Farms advocates. It’s a strategy that drives online traffic and revenue but also supports retail sales and overall brand recognition.”

When discussing the future of the CBD market and how Veritas plans to keep its product catalogue current Derek commented, “I think you’ll continue to see new types of subcategories. Topicals in terms of beauty both for men and women are really going to continue to grow, and you're also going to see Pet products continue to grow. The medium term is going to be the addition of topicals, personal care and lots of pet products. I think in the long term you’re going to see a lot of the science really start to play in product development. CBD is really the first cannabinoid category consumers gravitated to and that’s what a lot of brand names have built around now. But over the next couple of years you're really going to start to hear about CBN, CBG, CBC and all these other cannabinoids, that are really equal in their value and efficacy, we just haven't really heard a lot about them yet. Also as we are able to do more white papers and clinical trials, you’re going to start to see profiles targeted for certain conditions. That’s going to be a really exciting time in the industry but that’s more medium to long term.”

August 6 Crypto Corner

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:FB)

CoinDesk reports that Britain’s tax authority, Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (HMRC), is urging cryptocurrency exchanges to relinquish user’s names and transaction data to ensure proper tax collection. Sources told CoinDesk that the exchanges Coinbase, eToro and CEX.IO were contacted by the tax authority, though none have commented as of yet. An industry insider told the publication:

“HMRC is looking to work with exchanges when it comes to finding information on people who have been buying and selling crypto. I think they will only go back a couple of years, two or three years.”

“If they [HMRC] do only go back two or three years, I think the interesting thing here is, that the individuals who went into crypto very early on in 2012-13 will not be affected. The ones who probably made the largest gains won’t be affected, it will be the people who came in around the time crypto peaked.”

The UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) released a joint statement on global privacy expectations of the Libra network addressed to Facebook (NasdaqGS:FB) and 28 other organizations involved in the project. Signed by a “cross section of the data protection regulation community”, the statement highlights a concern over the lack of specificity shared by Libra regarding privacy concerns:

To date, while Facebook and Calibra have made broad public statements about privacy, they have failed to specifically address the information handling practices that will be in place to secure and protect personal information.

Additionally, given the current plans for a rapid implementation of Libra and Calibra, we are surprised and concerned that this further detail is not yet available.

Reuters reports that the North Korean regime has amassed some $2 billion USD through cyberattacks on banks and crypto exchanges, which it intends to put toward weapons of mass destruction. The article is based on a confidential report from the United Nations seen by Reuters. According to the report:

The experts said they are investigating “at least 35 reported instances of DPRK actors attacking financial institutions, cryptocurrency exchanges and mining activity designed to earn foreign currency” in some 17 countries.

Crypto lending firm BlockFi has raised $18.3 million in a funding round, according to a press release today. The round was led by U.S.-based venture capital fund Valar Ventures, which was co-founded by Peter Thiel. BlockFi CEO & Founder Zac Prince, said:

"We're excited to continue development at BlockFi that will bring us closer to our vision of a world where access to wealth-building financial products and services are not limited by geography or an individual's net worth. Our talented team and strategic backers will continue to drive the crypto financial services infrastructure forward to facilitate adoption and value creation in the crypto ecosystem.”
