Global Tech Industries Group Inc (OTCMKTS: GTII) Triples Since Last Week as Short Covering Rally Gains Momentum

Published

on

Global Tech Industries Group Inc (OTCMKTS: GTII) continues to run steadily higher even as the overall markets see significant declines. Since we first covered GTII in August when the stock was still well below the $1-mark GTII has exploded northbound currently just under $3 per share.  GTII is quickly becoming known as the OTC version of Gamestop or AMC with 1 short that is short a massive 100 million shares with little chance to cover here. The short needs GTII to trade 100s of millions of shares and there is little chance it will trade that kind of volume at current price levels.  

Over the past few days GTII has posted its highest volume trading days ever as the stock has rocket3d up northbound from well under $1 to a high of $2.99. There is little chance the 1 short who is short a rumored 100 million shares can cover such a massive position and as the upside momentum intensifies, their troubles get worse and worse. The OTC needs its very own AMC Gamestop type massive short covering rally. GTII OS is 257,463,289, 193,036,390 of which are restricted. With a rapidly growing shareholders list, investors are gearing up for a major fight.

Global Tech Industries Group Inc (OTCMKTS: GTII) sets the stage and develops the assets to stimulate innovation and growth in emerging businesses on a global basis. The company works across various and diverse industry sectors attempting to find potential partners and assisting them in animating their business plans. Although Global Tech’s staff is limited, it continues to monitor new developments and any emerging technologies that it deems in line with its stated mission as an early-stage company, of acquiring new and innovative technologies in diverse industries. With the acquisition of BAT, Global Tech acquired fifteen (15) intellectual properties pertaining to the construction of the mobile configuration and operation of the glyd-arc medical waste destruction unit, as well as an enhanced configuration and novel method for coal gasification. There is currently no use or activity involving the intellectual properties of the Company, and accordingly, there is no recorded value assigned to these assets. GTII is in the process of animating a digital platform, formed together with Alt5 Sigma, for the purpose of acquiring fine art and other collectibles that will be tokenized and eventually issued to its shareholders as Tokenized value dividends. This undertaking signifies a new and revolutionary method for offering value to GTII shareholders and as a way of participating in the shared ownership of fine art and collectibles using Non-fungible tokens. 

The Company acquired ‘Quatre femmes nues et tete sculptee’ by Pablo Picaso which executed in 1934 on Montval laid paper and published by A. Vollard, Paris, in 1939. It is signed in pencil, from the edition of 260 and numbered ‘347’ in the Henri Petiet inventory system in the lower left corner. Picasso’s signature can be seen in the lower right corner. This purchase will function as the cornerstone of GTII’s digital fine art and collectibles platform and be the first of several potential acquisitions. The move to purchase such a celebrated and valuable piece of fine art demonstrates GTII’s commitment to the digital platform undertaking. 

Earlier in September GTII announced it has entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Wildfire Media Corp. and the shareholders of Wildfire Media Corp. Wildfire Media is a legal marketing company in the business of supporting law firms with client acquisition research, data-driven marketing, media planning and analysis and client retention services. 

Under the terms of the agreement GTII will, at the closing, issue to the Wildfire Shareholders 100 million restricted common shares in exchange for all outstanding shares of Wildfire Media. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions to closing, as well as certain conditions specific to the transaction, including, without limitation, Wildfire Media providing GTII with audited financial statements and GTII concluding a due diligence review that is satisfactory in all respects to GTII. 

The Wildfire Shareholders have a post-closing “earn-out” opportunity for 100 million additional restricted GTII common shares if Wildfire Media achieves $25 million in gross revenue, as well as $85 million in receivables. 

The Acquisition Shares and the Earn-Out Shares shall be subject to a lock-up agreement pursuant to which the Wildfire Shareholders agree not to sell or transfer the shares until the expiration of the 1-year buy-back period, except as may be otherwise provided in the lock-up agreement. TII intends to file a Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the Share Exchange Agreement, which will contain further details regarding the agreement. 

Wildfire Media licenses the 1-800-LAW-FIRM and other brands to a national network of law firms committed to protecting the rights of clients in areas as diverse as consumer protection, environmental hazards, civil rights, and criminal defense among other areas. Founded in 1996, Wildfire Media provides performance-based marketing and technology solutions that enable law firms to concentrate on what they do best. Wildfire Media has established a Legal Support Organization (LSO) so that law firms are equipped to combine advances in the latest technologies along with best operational practices, both provided by our LSO.

On September 27 GTII announced its board of directors approved management’s request to lower the original strike price of the Warrants, which were distributed last year to a new strike price of $2.00. While the original strike price of $2.75 appears to be within reach, the Company is desirous of rewarding its loyal shareholders with an opportunity to participate at a lower price. The process to change the strike price, and to register the underlying stock with such new strike price, will be underway shortly. 

The terms of the Warrant Distribution provide that the Company’s shareholders of record as of the close of trading on April 1, 2021, the record date for the Warrant Distribution, will receive 0.10 of a Warrant for each share of the Company’s common stock held as of the record date. Fractional Warrants will not be issued. Instead, if any fractional Warrant would otherwise be required to be issued, the relevant Warrant holder will receive a number of Warrants that shall be rounded up (if the number is .5 or above) or down (if the number is less than .5) to the nearest whole number. The Warrants may be exercised on any business day prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 8, 2023. 

As the Warrants are not DTC eligible, the Company’s transfer agent will process them as follows: 

  • All Warrants will be issued in book entry form 
  • A shareholder who holds his or her shares in certificate or book-entry form through Liberty Stock Transfer, Inc, (“Liberty or the TA”) does not have to do anything. Once purchased, the Warrants will be move to the Transfer Agent. 
  • A shareholder who holds his or her shares “Street Name” through banks, brokers or other Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) participants (“Participants”), Liberty will allocate Warrants based upon their DTC position as of the record date, which Warrants shall be issued via book-entry in the name of each Participant for the benefit of their respective beneficial holders. 
  • A shareholder who holds his or her shares in “Street Name” and wants to move the Warrants to direct registration with the Company, may make such request directly to their broker. 
  • The Company has also announced today that it is looking into the process of offering a new Warrant Distribution program to its shareholders in the near future, with a probable strike price in the range of $3.50 per share.

Lucy Scientific Discovery’s (NASDAQ: LSDI) Game-Changing Move: A Closer Look at the High Times Acquisition

Published

on

On August 8th, 2023, Lucy Scientific Discovery Inc. (NASDAQ: LSDI), a leading developer in the psychedelic drug industry, witnessed an impressive surge in its stock value, gaining approximately 25% in combined trading, including after-hours (AH) trading. The British Columbia-based company made headlines by announcing its strategic move to acquire intellectual property (IP) from the renowned cannabis publication, High Times Holding Corp. (HHC).

Additional Background:

Under this agreement, Lucy will exchange 20% of its shares and a series of payments for access to HHC’s valuable IP portfolio, which includes the rights to generate licensing and royalty income from renowned brands like High Times, 420.com, and Cannabis Cup, along with their associated domain names.

Lucy’s commitment involves making semi-annual payments to HHC over a five-year period, structured around earnings before income, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) generated through the acquired IP. The flexibility exists for Lucy to fulfill these payments either in cash or through stock issuance and the announcement is generating considerable interest.

Furthermore, post-acquisition, Lucy will grant High Times the opportunity to operate retail outlets and distribute THC products bearing these prestigious brands within the United States. This privilege comes in exchange for an annual license fee of $1 million, set to double to $2 million annually once federal legalization of cannabis occurs in the country.

Leveraging the brand rights secured from HHC, Lucy aims to bolster its revenue streams by expanding and enhancing its existing 18 licensing agreements, both domestically and internationally. These arrangements encompass a wide array of consumer products and merchandise, promising to further establish Lucy’s presence in the global market. The acquisition is expected to be finalized within the coming two weeks, marking a significant strategic move for Lucy Scientific Discovery Inc.

As a result of the acquisition, High Times is now a publicly-traded entity. Lucy anticipates that this agreement will contribute over $10 million in revenue to its financial results in the upcoming year, along with $5 million in EBITDA.

Adam Levin, the Executive Chairman of HHC, expressed optimism about the deal, noting, “This transaction will create exciting new growth opportunities for the High Times brand, under the leadership of Richard Nanula, a seasoned executive with extensive experience in major consumer brands and global corporations.”

Levin also emphasized High Times’ enthusiasm in becoming a significant shareholder of Lucy Scientific Discovery. Notably, Lucy completed its initial public offering and Nasdaq listing in February, offering 1,875,000 shares at $4.00 each.

Richard Nanula, CEO of the British Columbia-based company, shared his outlook on the acquisition, stating, “Lucy expects this acquisition to rapidly generate high-margin revenue within the global cannabis sector.”

In recent developments, Lucy introduced the sleep aid product “Twilight,” which includes amanita muscaria and reishi mushrooms. Additionally, the company joined forces with Wesana Health Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: WSNAF) in March to collaborate on the development of the CBD and psilocybin-based drug SANA-013, targeting conditions such as migraines, cluster headaches, and major depressive disorder.

High Times, founded in 1974, has a rich history, featuring works by renowned writers like Truman Capote and Hunter S. Thompson. Since 1988, its Cannabis Cup has stood as the most prestigious cannabis competition globally, with notable judges including Snoop Dogg, Joe Rogan, Tommy Chong, and other prominent figures in the cannabis industry.

While Lucy’s shares showed a nearly 16% increase to reach $0.68 on the Nasdaq exchange on Friday, it is worth noting that they have experienced a decline of over 77% over the past year.

Macro Trend:

In recent times, our articles have prominently featured cannabis-related topics, reflecting the growing popularity of stocks in this sector. LSDI’s acquisition aligns perfectly with the current climate, as the cannabis industry experiences a significant surge, coinciding with the Health and Human Services (HHS) exploring the possibility of reclassifying cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act.

While many countries around the world have already moved towards decriminalization and legalization, the United States has been relatively cautious in its approach. However, the consideration of such a reclassification represents a potential historic turning point. If such a change were to materialize, it would mark a substantial shift in the regulatory landscape, potentially revitalizing cannabis as an attractive investment opportunity. The industry is already showing signs of reestablishing its market presence and could once again become a noteworthy investment option.

WM Technology’s (NASDAQ: MAPS) Stock Surges 91% in Mysterious Rally: What’s Behind the Boom?

Published

on

WM Technology’s (NASDAQ: MAPS) stock has exhibited remarkable growth, surging by an impressive 91% since August 16th, 2023. Intriguingly, this surge occurred in the absence of any substantial news or filings from the company, with their most recent release dating back to August 23rd, 2023. This limited information raises the question: What is driving this impressive rally? We will delve into the details below to shed light on the matter.

Cannabis Industry:

If you’ve been following our newsletter, you may have noticed our recent article spotlighting Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC), along with larger players like Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON), and Canopy Growth Corporation (NASDAQ: CGC).

In case you haven’t had a chance to read it, you can find the article here, featuring a dedicated section on the broader trends shaping the cannabis industry.

For those seeking a quick summary, a significant development has emerged in the cannabis landscape. A high-ranking official at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has proposed moving cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act. This shift marks a historic moment and comes after a comprehensive yearlong investigation requested by President Biden.

It’s worth noting the potential implications of this change for U.S.-based, plant-touching marijuana companies. Currently, these companies are restricted from trading on major exchanges like the NYSE or NASDAQ and are relegated to smaller markets such as the OTC, or smaller Canadian markets like the TSX, CSE, or NEO.

The CEO of Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (OTC: TCNNF), Kim Rivers delves into these implications in a podcast conversation with a Twitter user known as @stock_mj. She also recommends keeping a close eye on the AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF (MSOS) as the cannabis sector garners increasing attention from investors.

Weedmap’s Earnings:

To evaluate the potential of MAPS, it’s essential to examine their recent earnings and assess the fundamentals. Here’s a brief overview of the news release.

Revenue: Amounted to $50.9 million, representing a decline compared to the same period in the prior year when it reached $58.3 million.

Net Income: Recorded at $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2023, marking a significant decrease from the previous year’s figure of $19.8 million.

Adjusted EBITDA: Showed substantial improvement, totaling $10.2 million in the second quarter of 2023, as opposed to a negative figure of $(0.6) million in the same period of the prior year.

Cash: As of June 30, 2023, the company held $24.6 million in cash, noteworthy for being entirely debt-free.

WM Technology’s Executive Chair, Doug Francis, underscored the company’s dedication to reinforcing its financial position and delivering sustained growth.

Guidance for the third quarter of 2023:

Revenue: An estimated $47 million.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA: Approximately $4 million.

It’s important to note that these projections are subject to potential variations based on various factors and developments.

Furthermore, WM Technology announced the transition to Moss Adams LLP as its new independent registered public accounting firm, effective upon the filing of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, following the resignation of Baker Tilly US, LLP due to staffing constraints.

Although the company maintains a debt-free status, it’s crucial to recognize that there has been a substantial decline in both revenue and net income. Consequently, it is advisable to exercise caution when considering investment, as the current trajectory of their top-line figures does not exhibit a positive trend.

Weedmap’s Strategic Partnership:

Furthermore, the company made another recent announcement regarding its strategic partnership with the producer of “The Freak Brothers,” a celebrated stoner comic series that has captivated audiences for over five decades.

The series follows the adventures of three stoner characters and their cat, who awaken from a 50-year slumber induced by a magical strain of weed in 1969, now navigating life in contemporary San Francisco.

Key highlights of this partnership include in-episode Weedmaps integrations in the upcoming second half of “Freak Brothers” season two, commencing on September 24th. Additionally, exclusive “Smoke & Screen” events will be held across the U.S., bringing together influential figures from both the cannabis and entertainment industries.

“The Freak Brothers” series, based on Gilbert Shelton’s cult classic comic, celebrates its 55th anniversary with a star-studded voice cast for Season 2, featuring Woody Harrelson, John Goodman, Pete Davidson, Tiffany Haddish, Adam Devine, Blake Anderson, Andrea Savage, La La Anthony, ScHoolboy Q, and a special guest appearance by Joe Sikora.

Cannabis Industry Surges: Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) Leads the Way with 77% Intraday Jump

Published

on

Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) experienced a remarkable intraday surge of over 77%. While the company has made significant announcements recently, today’s surge occurred without any specific filings or press releases to explain it. There seems to be something substantial driving this trading frenzy, a broader force impacting the entire asset class.

It’s worth noting that established industry leaders like Canopy Growth Corporation (NASDAQ: CGC) and Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) have faced significant downtrends in past years. However, today’s market activity also lifted their stocks along with others. To understand this trend, let’s take a closer look at the larger market dynamics at play.

What Happened:

A top official at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has recommended moving cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act, marking a historic shift. This move follows a comprehensive yearlong investigation requested by President Biden.

https://twitter.com/NotFinancialRep/status/1697189406665245149?s=20

In the short term, this won’t significantly impact the cannabis industry, as the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) needs to conduct its own review and the federal prohibition on marijuana remains. However, the HHS recommendation, if followed by the DEA, could happen within a year, possibly before the 2024 presidential election.

Long-term implications for the cannabis industry are uncertain, but a key immediate effect would be the elimination of Section 280e of the IRS tax code for cannabis businesses. This provision currently prevents them from claiming standard business deductions, a major financial burden.

While rescheduling won’t directly open up access to institutional banking, it may attract new capital sources due to reduced risk perception among investors. Smaller banks and lenders might become more willing to engage.

Eliminating 280e could also stimulate lending in an industry with high borrowing costs, as companies would have improved cash flow. This might lead to lower interest rates and greater access to operating and expansion capital.

Rescheduling could benefit publicly traded cannabis companies, potentially enticing more exchanges, like the Toronto Stock Exchange, to accept U.S.-based cannabis businesses. It could also encourage Congress to take further action, such as passing the SAFE Banking Act and broader reforms.

Overall, while the exact implications of rescheduling are uncertain, the HHS announcement signals progress toward a post-prohibition reality for the cannabis industry, which is a significant development.

Having set the stage with the broader cannabis industry context, let’s delve into Flora Growth’s recent developments and their implications for the company’s future. Is Flora Growth strategically positioned to leverage the potential easing of restrictions in the cannabis sector?

European Expansion:

Flora Growth just formed a partnership with TruHC Pharma GmbH, a leading medical cannabis expert based in Hamburg, Germany. TruHC holds key certifications for importing, distributing, and manufacturing medical cannabis and is awaiting an EU-GMP license for its cutting-edge cannabis laboratory.

Hendrik Knopp, a respected legal professional and entrepreneur, and his team from TruHC are joining Flora, bringing their extensive expertise in pioneering medical cannabis in Germany. This partnership is seen as very valuable, especially as Germany and the European Union move towards making medical cannabis more accessible to patients.

Clifford Starke, CEO of Flora, expressed excitement about the collaboration, recognizing the potential to contribute to the growth of the medical cannabis industry as regulations evolve. The partnership aims to capture a significant market share in Germany.

Hulk Hogan Partnership:

Flora Growth also just recently entered an exclusive worldwide partnership with WWE legend Hulk Hogan to launch a range of consumer products through Just Brands. These products will include CBD-infused items like pre-rolls, topicals, edibles, and more, which Flora will produce and sell globally. The partnership aims to capitalize on Hulk Hogan’s iconic status and Flora’s global distribution network. The initial agreement is for three years, with potential renewals, targeting $20 million in sales over the first 24 months. Flora will pay royalties and license fees for Hulk Hogan-branded products.

Conclusion:

In summary, the cannabis industry appears ready for a resurgence, buoyed by renewed investor optimism and shifting market dynamics. Our focus today was Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) but larger names like Canopy Growth Corporation (NASDAQ: CGC) and Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) are among the many companies benefitting from this positive trend.
