Today’s podcast transcript/overview:

To the surprise and delight of many investors – this was a great year for green stocks. Investors in 2019 could bet with their heart and still see some big wins financially. Although cannabis stocks were making all the headlines, this sector was making a lot of noise in the background.

Starting with the best performing stock on the TSX this year, Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP) ( TSX: BLDP) delivered on its vision for fuel cell power for a sustainable planet. The 52 Week Range on the TSX was a low of $3.25 to a high of $9.65.

On December 17th the company announced that 8 ExquiCity tram-buses built by Van Hool NV  (www.vanhool.be) and powered by 8 Ballard FCveloCity®-HD 100-kilowatt fuel cell modules have been inaugurated at a ceremony in Pau, France and are now in revenue service in Pau's Bus Rapid Transit System.

On December 16th the company announced receipt of a purchase order from Weichai Ballard Hy-Energy Technologies Co., Ltd. for Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEAs) valued at $19.2 million, to be delivered in 2020 under a long-term MEA supply agreement.

Millennials invested heavily in Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) and got a Christmas gift as the stock broke $430. The 52 week range for the stock was a low of $176.99 and a high of $435.31.

Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives recently raised his stock-price target by $100 to $370 noting “Both U.S. consumer demand for Model 3 and most importantly European strength should likely drive upside this quarter and enable Tesla to comfortably hit its vehicle delivery guidance of 360K–400K units for [the 2019 fiscal year], which represents an increase of 45% to 65% year-over-year.”

Called the year of solar, 2019 gave investors glowing results, outperforming many other sectors. 

Vivint Solar (NYSE:VSLR) had a 52 week range of a low of $3.68 and high of $9.82. In mid-December the company announced it closed a $200 million revolving asset-based loan facility. The facility will help fund the company's continued growth in 2020 and beyond by allowing Vivint Solar to finance the purchase of safe harbor equipment and receive attractive advance rates on projects throughout the development life cycle. Vivint Solar operates in 22 states and has raised more than $4.9 billion in cash equity, tax equity, and debt since its inception in 2011.

JinkoSolar’s (NYSE:JKS) 52 week range was $9.52 - $24.84 and is currently trading between $22 and $23. 

On December 10th the company announced it signed an agreement with COSCO SHIPPING Lines (Greece) S.A. to use the Greek Port of Piraeus as a distribution hub for the shipment of its renewable energy products in Europe, and in particular for Greece, the Balkans and the EMEA region.

JinkoSolar distributes it solar products and sells its solutions and services to a diversified international utility, commercial, and residential customer base in China, the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, Chile, South Africa, India, Mexico, Brazil, the United Arab Emirates, Italy, Spain, France, Belgium and other countries and regions.

SolarEdge Technologies (NASDAQ:SEDG) had an investor playing field of a $33.88 - $96.69 52 week range. SolarEdge says it has invented an intelligent inverter solution that has changed the way power is harvested and managed in a solar photovoltaic (PV) system. The SolarEdge DC optimized inverter system maximizes power generation at the individual PV module-level while lowering the cost of energy produced by the solar PV system.

Their third Quarter 2019 Highlights included: 
·        Record revenues of $410.6 million
·        Record revenues from solar products of $387.8 million

Enphase Energy (NASDAQ:ENPH), a global energy technology company and the world’s leading supplier of solar microinverters had a 52 week range of $4.56 - $35.42 and is currently trading under $27.00.

On December 19th they announced that Solair LLC, a commercial solar installation and green energy consulting firm based in Delaware, deploys Enphase microinverters on commercial solar projects to precisely right-size systems for financial incentives and interconnection requirements, improve installation time, and issue production guarantees with confidence.

Note all stock prices referenced were at the close of December 27, 2019.

We're proud to join Pure Integrative Pharmacy in bringing significant new value to their customers in BC.”

Bob Mehr, President and CEO of Pure Integrative Pharmacy, explained:

Baidu’s model is called ERNIE, which stands for “Enhanced Representation through kNowledge IntEgration”. An excerpt from the article reads:

Global AI Hardware Market to Reach $87.68 Billion by 2026

A report from Verified Market Research finds that the global AI Hardware market will grow from $7.1 billion in 2018 to $87.68 billion by 2026 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37.6 percent in the forecast period. An excerpt from the article outlines the market and its key drivers:

AI Hardware stems from the need for making perfect hardware in order to accelerate artificial intelligence applications. There are three main parts of hardware infrastructure: compute, storage and networking. In the last few years, the computer has made the most significant progress. The other two areas, storage, and networking are not as advanced have yet to see major innovations regarding AI applications.

The growth in big data and advancement in computing is expected to drive the market. The advances that occur in the field of computing tend to focus on software. These advances include applications and programs that can perform various tasks that facilitate humans. One of the major advancements in computing deals with the ability to store as well as analyze big data. The hardware of computing, therefore, has undergone big changes in order to support innovation.

#CryptoCorner: Coinbase May Have to Remove DApp Browser from Apple (NASDAQ: $AAPL) App Store, China’s First #Blockchain ETF Application, Huobi Launches Fiat-to- #Crypto Gateway in Indonesia

#CryptoCorner: Coinbase May Have to Remove DApp Browser from Apple (NASDAQ: $AAPL) App Store, China’s First #Blockchain ETF Application, Huobi Launches Fiat-to- #Crypto Gateway in Indonesia




Point Roberts, WA, Delta BC December 30, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leader in crypto and blockchain investing news brings you today’s edition of the Crypto Corner podcast and commentary on what’s driving the cryptocurrency market.

Listen to today’s Crypto Corner Podcast:  



Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:AAPL) (NasdaqGS:FB)

A recent Reddit post revealed that U.S. crypto exchange giant Coinbase may have to remove its “DApp browser functionality” of its crypto wallet app from the Apple (NasdaqGS:AAPL) mobile app store. The CEO of Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, responded in the comment section:

“Coinbase CEO here. This is really unfortunate to see. Apple seems to be eliminating usage of Dapps from the App Store.

If Apple customers want to be able to use Dapps, we may need to make this request know to Apple in some way. This is an important area of innovation in finance, and many developers and early adopters of this technology have millions of dollars worth of crypto tied up in these financial applications, which they will no longer be able to use on Apple mobile devices if this app store policy continues.”

Reuters reports that Ueli Maurer, Switzerland’s finance minister and outgoing president, said in an interview with Swiss broadcaster SRF that Facebook’s (NasdaqGS:FB) Libra will not succeed as it currently stands.

“I don’t think (Libra has a chance in its current form), because central banks will not accept the basket of currencies underpinning it.”

According to the article:

The cryptocurrency is to be backed by a reserve of assets such as bank deposits and government debt held by a network of custodians. That structure is meant to foster trust and avoid the price swings that plague other cryptocurrencies.

A report from Shanghai Securities News indicates that the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) has recently received an application for a blockchain exchange-traded-fund (ETF) from asset manager Penghua Fund. If approved, the ETF will be the first of its kind in China. Its aim is to track Shenzhen Stock Exchange-listed companies operating in the blockchain space. An unnamed “fund manager of a Beijing fund company” said:

"The launch of the relevant index gives investors new choices, and they can use the relevant theme funds to obtain dividends in the development of the blockchain industry in the future."

Crypto exchange Huobi recently announced the launch of “a local fiat gateway to enable a direct fiat-to-crypto trading facility between the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) and Tether (USDT)”, allowing investors in the country to “use the local fiat currency to trade over 250 cryptocurrencies available on Huobi Indonesia's digital asset exchange”. David Chen, Senior Director of Huobi Cloud, explained:

"The new fiat gateway is part of Huobi's global expansion strategy and reflects our ongoing commitment to working with strong local partners in key markets across the globe. By continuing to add new fiat/crypto pairs for Huobi Cloud 2.0, we want to make it frictionless for investors anywhere in the world to trade digital assets on a trusted and proven platform."
