My Favorite Cybersecurity Play Is a Much Better Bet Than the Equifax Settlement

Equifax recently settled with the Federal Trade Commission over its massive 2017 consumer data breach, agreeing to pay up to $700 million to settle claims.

But the thing is that with just $31 million of the $700 million settlement set aside for financial claims, it’s possible individuals could collect as little as twenty cents.

That’s why Michael’s going to show you a stock that could “compensate” you better each year as the cybersecurity sector heats up…

This U.S. Cannabis Firm Could Be Next on the Nasdaq

We've talked about some of the unique challenges facing legitimate United States-based cannabis companies – challenges that come from its illegal status at the federal level.

Banking is one challenge; marijuana firms in the states have an incredibly difficult time accessing those services for fear of running afoul of Uncle Sam's money laundering statutes.

Achieving a listing on the Nasdaq or New York Stock Exchange is another problem – and one with even more of an impact on investors. It effectively cuts off the company and its shareholders from the $20 trillion in capital that trades in the "big leagues."

Most American marijuana firms have to offer shares "on the pink sheets," in the smaller, markedly less liquid over-the-counter markets.

The other day, I showed you one U.S. cannabis company that took an ingenious "shortcut" route through a wall of red tape to list on the Nasdaq; it's the dawn of what I called a "$20 trillion tomorrow."

That tomorrow may come sooner than anyone realizes – because another American marijuana firm is making a play for its Nasdaq listing.

These Cannabis Heavyweights Are Battling It Out over the "Marijuana Mecca of the Midwest"

Early last month I wrote about how Illinois is primed to become the "Marijuana Mecca of the Midwest," and it seems that we're not the only ones who know about it.

Now that shareholders have approved the landmark agreement for Acreage Holdings Inc. to be acquired by Canadian giant Canopy Growth Corp., Acreage is on the move.

After the deal closed on Thursday, Acreage CEO Kevin Murphy gave an interview at the Players Technology Summit in San Francisco in which he hinted at a number of "head-turner" acquisitions that the company has in the works.

While he was careful not to spill any specifics, he did make one thing clear.

Illinois, which last month became the first state to approve the sale of adult-use cannabis through legislation, will feature prominently in Acreage's plans. When asked about the coming market, Murphy said: "We have designs on going very deep and very broad in that state."

It will be especially interesting to see whether the company makes any moves to benefit from the potential for districts to opt in on "social consumption lounges" – something we thought might happen in Las Vegas, but it will be much more likely in Illinois.

However, when Acreage tries to enter "The Land of Lincoln," it's going to encounter a buzz saw.

We're tracking a couple companies in our portfolios who are already in the state, and they're going to give Acreage more than a hard time.

Let's take a look at some of the companies Acreage is going up against...
