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 Investorideas releases a special CEO snapshot of the cannabis industry.

Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB) (TSX: ACB), the Canadian company defining the future of cannabis worldwide, announced a CEO succession and Board expansion; the latter of which is detailed in a separate announcement released this afternoon. The Company also announced a business transformation plan that better aligns selling, general & administrative expenses, and capital expenditures with current market conditions.

These combined changes are consistent with, and evidence of Aurora's commitment to, achieving positive EBITDA and cash flow as rapidly as possible, while still maintaining the ability to capitalize on longer-term Canadian and global cannabis market opportunities.

Aurora CEO Terry Booth stated, "Over the last seven years, Aurora has built an incredible platform and a leading position in the global Cannabis industry. I am proud and humbled to have led that journey with a deeply talented and passionate team of employees. While there is still much work to be done, the timing is right to announce my retirement with a thoughtful succession plan in place and the immediate expansion of the Board of Directors. These changes, along with the financial transformation which we are undertaking, should clearly demonstrate to investors that Aurora has the continuity, strategic direction and leadership it needs to transition from its entrepreneurial roots to an established organization well positioned to capitalize on a global growth opportunity. In that spirit, and with my full support, the Board of Directors has appointed Michael Singer as Interim CEO effective immediately." Booth continued, "As part of the succession plan, I will become a Senior Strategic Advisor to the Board and remain a Director. Additionally, we're welcoming new independent members; Lance Friedmann and Michael Detlefsen who bring a wealth of strategic and hands-on consumer products industry experience to the organization."

Michael Singer, Aurora's Executive Chairman and Interim CEO stated, "I look forward to serving as Interim CEO and executing on our short-term plans, which include a rationalization of our cost structure, reduced capital spending, and a more conservative and targeted approach to capital deployment. These are necessary steps that reflect a fundamental change in how we will operate the business going forward." Singer continued, "On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to thank Terry for his leadership over the years. He's made an indelible mark on the industry and left an enviable legacy in the form of Aurora Cannabis and the potential that exists for the Company over the coming decades. As one of the original cannabis visionaries, Terry is an invaluable resource with deep industry knowledge that we can leverage strategically. I look forward to having him continue on as a Senior Strategic Advisor to our Board of Directors."

MedMen Enterprises Inc. (CSE:MMEN) (OTC:MMNFF) recently announced that Chief Executive and co-Founder Adam Bierman stepped down from his role on Feb. 1. The company said it will consider internal and external candidates in seeking a CEO replacement. Bierman will remain on the board, including as part of the board to be elected at the company's coming shareholder meeting. But he has agreed to surrender all of his class A super voting shares back to the company. Co-Founder Andrew Modlin granted a proxy for all of his super voting shares to the company's Executive Chairman Ben Rose until December 2020, after which he will give them back to the company. That will leave the Los Angeles-based company with just one class of shares, the class B subordinate voting shares which give the holder one vote.

Sundial Growers Inc. (NASDAQ: SNDL) also announced certain changes to its executive team and board of directors as described below:

●    Torsten Kuenzlen has resigned as the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and will step down as a director, effective immediately, to pursue other interests;

●    Zach George, currently a member of Sundial's Board, has been appointed as CEO and will continue as a director;

●    Ted Hellard has stepped down from his role as Executive Chairman, but will continue to serve on the Board, and as Chair of the Mergers and Acquisitions Committee;

●    Brian Harriman, Sundial's Chief Operating Officer ("COO"), will be leaving Sundial and his portfolio will be transitioned to Andrew Stordeur; and,

●    Andrew Stordeur, currently President of Sundial's Canadian operations, will be appointed as President and COO in recognition of his expanded role.

Sundial is committed to continuing to implement strong corporate governance practices throughout the organization. In addition, the Board will continue to evaluate future opportunities to further strengthen the Company and position it for long-term growth and value creation. Sundial's management team is committed to the long-term success of the Company and has the extensive operational, marketing and business experience needed to maintain its position as a leader in the industry.

Greg Mills, Chairman of the Board, said, "We are extremely fortunate to have Mr. George join us as CEO. His successful track record for effecting corporate change through increased efficiency and operational improvements, along with his capital markets experience, will help drive the next chapter for Sundial. We are also pleased to announce the promotion of Andrew Stordeur to President and COO. His leadership and strong background in the consumer-packaged goods sector are critical to Sundial and his promotion furthers our efforts to streamline the organization."

In a recent article Bruce Linton, previous CEO of Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) discussed his leaving the company and continuing work within the cannabis space.

“The advice I’ve been giving to young people this summer is to get fired as soon as you can once working, because you become very popular once you’re fired,” he said.

Vic Nuefeld, the previous CEO of Aphria Inc. (NYSE: APHA) (TSX: APHA) also stepped away from his position earlier this year and was quoted in one news article saying “The last five years have been incredible. But to be brutally honest, this journey has taken a toll on my health, family and other priorities,” Neufeld said.

Dawn of the #Solar Age – Part 2, by J. Peter Lynch

Dawn of the #Solar Age – Part 2, by J. Peter Lynch

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC, February 10,2020 – Investorideas.com, a global news source and leading investor resource covering Cleantech and renewable energy stocks issues today’s Cleantech column at Investorideas.com and Renewableenergystocks.com with J.Peter Lynch; part 2 of the Dawn of the Age of Solar.

J.Peter Lynch 

Read part one – Dawn of the age of solar

To briefly recap, in Part 1, I stated that the world is currently in the midst of an historic paradigm shift in the area of energy. The world is moving from an antiquated, inefficient centralized energy system to a renewable powered, de-centralized, flexible and resilient system.

This 21^st century energy system will be far less costly, more efficient and far more resilient than the old centralized system. Other benefits from this new system will be numerous - it will enhance, rather than diminish nation security, it will boost economies worldwide and increase employment dramatically.

In addition I outlined all the rationale for the shift and all the reasons (better, faster and cheaper) as to why this transition has already started and is accelerating throughout the world.

In this part I will focus on potential investments in sectors that will benefit from this worldwide shift.  While it is still just the beginning of the shift, I am quite certain that the transition will occur much faster than all the pundits are projecting.

This accelerated transition will be driven by:

1. The need to move quickly to address the dangers of climate change

2. Dramatically less financial risk of a renewable based energy system

3. Superior financial returns and the far greater resiliency of a distributed grid

As a result of this dynamic growth numerous stocks in a number of sectors will have their growth dramatically accelerated.

As I said in Part 1 I feel that this paradigm shift will lead to the greatest investment opportunity in history and many fortunes will be made, in addition to making the planet a cleaner and healthier place for our children and grandchildren.

The Bottom Line: the benefits of addressing climate change are overwhelmingly positive while the costs of not addressing climate change are magnitudes larger.  From a purely financial point of view there simply is no comparison between investment paths – the commonly referred to “business as usual” path is without question a path that is financially and economically catastrophic for the U.S. economy and the world’s economy.

“Alternative energy’s shift to the mainstream is largely complete is now irreversible”. Deloitte Center for Energy Studies

The following pages will list a number of different renewable energy sectors and their ETF’s which hold a large number of stocks in those respective sectors and some of the larger companies I expect there will be many companies in these ETF’s that will benefit from the current energy system paradigm. In the next part I will list the strongest stocks in each of those ETF’s based upon various systems, in this case:

1. Relative Strength - comparing each stock to all the others in that ETF’s and selecting the strongest ones and

2 Volatility – looking at the average volatility of each of the stocks over a three year period. The stocks with the lowest volatility are the “safest” and the ones with the higher volatility which because of the increased volatility will be more risky stocks.

Over the past 5-7 years the solar sector has been “up and down” and has dramatically out performed and also under-performed the S&P 500, so this current performance is not unusual. The bottom line is that there will be plenty of potentially interesting companies in an industry that has been and is expected to keep doubling in size.

An industry that keeps doubling in size

Renewables’ share of power generation, scale is shown in doublings. 

Source: Bloomberg New Energy Finance 

As you can see above, both the solar and wind sectors are growing by leaps and bounds. Solar has had 7 doubles in 15 years and now stands at 2% of electricity supply in the world.

This does not sound terribly impressive, but it really depends on “how you look at it” – for example if you look at it the way the world famous futurist and genius Ray Kurzweil (below) does, it is not only impressive, it is truly staggering!

Kurzweil made a thought-provoking presentation at a recent trade show for medical device companies, MD&M, in Anaheim, California. At one point during his 45-minute talk he shifted his attention to solar.

“In 2012, solar panels were producing 0.5% of the world’s energy supply. Some people dismissed it, saying, ‘It’s a nice thing to do, but at a half percent, it’s a fringe player. That’s not going to solve the problem”. Kurzweil said. “They were ignoring the exponential growth just as they ignored the exponential growth of the Internet and Human genome project.

A Half a percent is only eight doublings away from 100%!

Currently solar has doubled twice again - now solar produce 2% of the world’s energy, right on schedule! People will dismiss it, as they dismissed 0.5% and say once again, 2% is a tiny number. That ignores the exponential growth, which means it is only six doublings or [12] years from getting to 100%”.

2% - 4% - 8% - 16% - 32% - 64% - 128%

Two years ago Kurzweil presented this to the Prime Minister of Israel who had attended his class at the MIT Sloan School in the 1970s. Kurzweil said the prime minster asked him a question.

“Ray, do we have enough sunlight to do this with a doubling seven more times?’” Kurzweil recalled. He said he replied, “’Yes. After we double seven more times, and meeting 100% of the world’s energy needs, we’ll still be using only one part in 10,000 of the sunlight that we have.’”

Still sounds crazy, but I for one would never bet against a brilliant individual like Kurzweil nor would I ignore his extremely impressive prediction track record over the past 20 -30 years. Most of these past projections, which came true, were equally “crazy” and hard to fathom.

The areas we will be looking at are: 

1. Solar

2. Wind

3. Yield Companies

4.  Fuel Cells

5.  Electric Cars (EV’s)

6. Note: Other technologies are related and are part of many of the above areas ETF’s. For example there quite a few semiconductor companies related to EV’s.

I have reviewed most of the ETF’s that would cover these areas. I have removed the ones with very small volume and ones that are not constructed so that one or two holding controls what the EFT does. Below is a link to a summary of the 4 ETF’s that fit my criteria:

They are: FAN (wind), ICLN (solar), KARS (electric cars) and YLCO (yield companies)

Note:  A yield co. is a company that owns solar and wind projects and pays a dividend. Sort of like a REIT for Renewables – they own renewable projects instead of apartments etc.

 LINK to the 4 ETF’s I have selected:

Just a few comments I wanted to bring to your attention on the linked chart above. These are points every investor will want to look at before buying a security or an ETF.

1. When you look at a stock you want to make sure that the current price is greater than the 50 day moving average and that the 200 day moving average is less than the 50 week average and the current price.

2. The 50 day moving average is your short term indicator of a stocks health and the 200 day moving average is the longer term measure of health. Generally, if your stock drops below its 200 day moving average it is likely time to sell it. This has also be a very good indicator for the S&P 500 index – if it drops below the 200 day it is usually a bad sign.

3. It has a high technical score – the score runs from 1 to 5 so you can see that all of these ETF’s are very strong and all in the very high 4’s.

4. They are also ALL in a positive trend as indicated by the P in the trend column.

In this case all 4 of the major Renewable Energy ETF’s are in very good shape.

One last point – we are discussing what ETF’s to buy and will cover later what individual stocks are technically among the best stocks in the sector. But there is another side, in this case, we should look at and that is areas we DO NOT want to buy and we should stay away from.

When one industry starts to shine (like solar related stocks) there is usually another or two that are not doing well and should be avoided. In this case it is the Oil & Gas industry. I think they have had their heyday and are now on the downside.

I checked the 3 major ETF’s for the Oil & Gas industry (IEO, PXE and XOP) and here is where they stand now compared to the renewable industry. This would also include the coal area, whose readings are even worse than the oil and gas industry.

1. The current prices of all three Oil & Gas are below BOTH the 50 day moving average and the 200 day moving average. Very negative reading.

2. Their technical technical scores are the following respectively: .30, .20 and .18 out of 5.0. This is a very negative reading; actually it could not be much worse.

3. All three are in a negative trend. Another negative reading.

As a result I want to stress that this is an area to stay away from in the short term (for sure) and I think it will be a long term problem too.

I worked on Wall Street for over 35 years and one of my mentors always said – sure it will turn around and get better, it always does. Until it does not. Remember we are in a historic paradigm change currently and this is exactly this time when stuff that “always” happens will not. I would advise everyone to heed those words of wisdom. I did not “get it” at first and unfortunately I learned the hard way – you do not have to do that.

Conclusion

The Age of Solar is upon us and it is accelerating and has past the point of no return. Not everyone sees this yet, but I am personally certain that this is true and it is irreversible.

Mr. Lynch has worked, for over 35 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. He was the contributing editor for 17 years to the Photovoltaic Insider Report, an early publication in PV that was directed at industrial subscribers, such as major energy companies, utilities and governments around the world. He is currently a private investor, founder and financial/technology consultant to a number of companies.

Breaking #Fintech News: Weyland Tech (OTCQX: $WEYL) Management Purchases Shares of Common Stock; @weylandtechinc

Breaking #Fintech News: Weyland Tech (OTCQX: $WEYL) Management Purchases Shares of Common Stock; @weylandtechinc

NEW YORK - February 10, 2020 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Weyland Tech, Inc. (OTCQX: WEYL) a leading global provider of mCommerce platform-as-a-service (PaaS), eCommerce managed services and fintech solutions, reported that its executive management purchased a total of 75,000 shares of the company's common stock from the public market on February 7, 2020.

Read this news featuring WEYL in full at https://www.investorideas.com/CO/WEYL/news/2020/02101Purchases-CommonStock.asp

The buyers and amounts include:

• President & CEO, Brent Suen: 25,000 shares, bringing total shares held to 2,857,000.
• Chief strategy officer, Matthew Brent: 25,000 shares, bringing total shares held to 1,895,000.
• Chief operating officer, John MacNeil: 25,000 shares, bringing total shares held to 2,295,000.

Previous insider open market purchases of common stock were made in October 2019 by Suen, who bought 99,000 shares. In November 2019, Suen purchased an additional 900,000 shares from a shareholder in a private transaction.

"Given our strong tailwinds, including the increasing number of business subscribers coming onto our CreateApp platform, our expanding geographic footprint and recent major acquisition, we see our growth continuing to accelerate over the coming quarters," noted Suen. "We're also seeing great enthusiasm and excitement in our segment of the tech industry—unlike anything I've seen in my 34 years in business.

"As a result of these positive factors, my team has continued to invest personally in WEYL. In fact, over the last few years, I have invested more dollars in WEYL than I've received in salary as president and CEO of the company. I believe there is no stronger demonstration of my unwavering belief in our value proposition and ability to deliver superior value for our stakeholders."

Last month, the company completed its acquisition of the eCommerce technology company, Push Interactive, a direct-to-consumer eCommerce platform that provides an end-to-end solution for enterprises and major U.S. brands that include HomeAdvisor, QuinStreet and Sunrun.

On a combined pro forma basis, the companies anticipate reporting $11.9 million in revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019, with total revenue of $42.3 million for the year. The combined annualized run rate on a pro forma basis totaled more than $60.6 million at year-end 2019.

As the result of the company's strong course of growth and development over the last year, it is preparing to uplist to the Nasdaq Stock Market. This move is expected to attract the attention of a broader base of investors, particularly institutional and family offices.

Additional details regarding the purchases can be found in disclosures on Form 4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.
