Get In Now to Win the Billion-Dollar Branding Race in Cannabis

For years, cannabis was associated with back-alley deals after dusk. Now it's becoming as commonplace as walking into a convenience store to buy beer.

That's why, as cannabis starts its next phase, branding is going to be incredibly important.

It's going to separate the winners from the wannabes. The cannabis firms that get branding right stand to make early investors a lot of money.

Take Starbucks – the company is an incredible branding machine.

Starbucks has managed to make its name synonymous with coffee. Customers know what to expect when they walk into one of its 30,000 locations around the world. They know what they order is going to taste the same whether the store is in a suburban strip mall or in the lobby of a luxury city hotel. Because the Seattle coffee giant has earned customers' trust through branding.

Incredible branding is also why the company is now worth $92 billion.

For cannabis companies to be known throughout the world, it's critical for them to follow a similar branding model. They need to offer quality and consistency throughout their products and services.

Smart cannabis executives know this and are working on it as we speak.

While there hasn't been enough time for cannabis companies to build brands that have global or even regional recognition yet, it's coming. But there won't just be a "Starbucks of cannabis" – it goes much deeper than that.

There will be companies battling it out to become the "Coca-Cola" of CBD-infused drinks, the "Apple" of must-own cannabis devices, and the "Uber" of marijuana delivery services.

It's these companies that are going to deliver huge windfalls for investors. So here are the upcoming cannabis "brands" we have our eye on now… Full Story

America's Coal Country Is Embracing the Power - and Profit Potential - of Solar

When he passed away last September at the age of 91, T. Boone Pickens generated dozens of media biographies. Nearly all of them missed a key detail about his last years…

Of course, a billionaire with his reputation as a savvy business leader would no doubt get lots of obituaries written about him. And most focused on his very successful career as an oil and gas baron.

It's easy to see why. After all, in 2007 alone, he is reported to have earned more than $2.7 billion from his two energy-investing funds.

So, it may sound surprising for me to suggest that those obituaries were inaccurate…

Here's the thing – at least two years before his death, Pickens went through a sea change and closed his energy funds. He became a massive backer of solar technology.

Now, I spoke to you recently about all the opportunity that I'm seeing heading our way, thanks to the solar revolution. No doubt, a smart businessman like T. Boone Pickens also realized the sheer scope of this technological transformation. It all comes down to basic science.

Boone (as he was known) saw what many people are beginning to see: Renewables are the next generation in energy production.

His move into solar is a major signal of the profit potential we can unlock from this sector.

This same sentiment has reached another key audience – one that will supercharge solar's growth.

These 3 High-Yield REITs Pay 8%, 10%, and 12% Dividends

The ongoing spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus has investors flocking to safety.

Gold prices hit a seven-year high Thursday, while U.S. Treasury yields plunged yet again.

The 10-year bond hovered at 1.53% – a pittance for investors who are looking out on a decade horizon.

The option of gold – which doesn't pay a yield – also isn't the most attractive option for anyone seeking income.

And things are only going to get more challenging for income-seeking investors in the months ahead...

How You Can Unlock Profit Potential in the Fast-Growing CBD Market

Last January, the National Institute for Cannabis Investors told you 2019 would be the "Year of CBD." And man, did it deliver.

Pharmacies across the nation, like CVS and Walgreens, were racing to sell various CBD products, which really got the ball rolling for other retail outlets.

That's why now is the time to add top-tier CBD companies to your portfolio. And today, The Institute will show you where to find them...

The Secret to Spotting a Billion-Dollar Idea

I recently talked to you about how important it is to choose a star founder with the power to execute their unique vision.

But that's only half the battle. This founder must also have a billion-dollar idea.

When you find someone who can transform their great ideas into products customers need, you've struck gold.

Today, I'll show you how to spot a billion-dollar idea once you feel confident that you've nailed down a winning team.

The idea and the founder go hand-in-hand. You can't have one without the other.

Long before I was an angel investor, I sat on the other side of the table as a startup founder. I've personally founded four successful businesses. And let me tell you – it is seriously grueling work.

It was all worth it, though – and not just because I ended up making money.

More than anything, I'm glad I did it because each business started with an amazing idea. And what's better than watching an amazing idea come to life?

World-changing ideas are the bedrock upon which the startup world is built. Every successful business starts with one. And once you find a winning team to work with, you have to see whether their idea is any good.

But what does a great idea really look like?

How do you tell the difference between a founder with a billion-dollar idea… and one who's just blowing smoke? I'll show you… Full Story
