Ecco la 70° Edizione del settimanale "Le opportunità di Borsa" dedicato ai consulenti finanziari ed esperti di borsa.
Settimana di risk-off per i principali indici per via dei timori legati all’inflazione persistente e alle prospettive di tassi ancora elevati a lungo. Anche se il report di oggi sull’indice core Pce, la misura molto gradita alla Fed per valutare l’inflazione, ha mostrato un parziale raffreddamento, o quantomeno una stabilità. L’indice ha riportato una crescita su base annua del 2,8%, in linea con le previsioni degli analisti e con la rilevazione del mese precedente. Questo dovrebbe lasciare più margine di manovra alla Fed per abbassare i tassi di interesse nel corso del 2024. Passando al Vecchio Continente, il report sull’inflazione dell’Eurozona ha mostrato un indice al 2,6%, oltre il 2,5% atteso e in accelerazione rispetto al 2,4% precedente.

The Week In Cannabis: Brazil Regulates Sales, Michigan Starts Adult Sales, Lil Wayne Goes Green, Federal Agencies Move Forward

The largest country in Latin America, Brazil, has finally regulated cannabis sales.
The Brazilian sanitary regulatory agency, or ANVISA, which functions similarly to the United States Food and Drug Administration ruled this week to allow the import, production and sale of cannabis-based products. Furthermore, while ANVISA did not come out with regulations for legal cultivation the Federal Court of the Federal District of Brasilia authorized one specific company, Schoenmaker Humako Agri-Floriculture, part of the Terra Viva group, to import industrial hemp seeds and grow plans with THC concentration below 0.3%.
Meanwhile, New Zealand released a draft cannabis legalization and control bill for public debate; the U.S. National Credit Union Administration adopted a new policy that makes it easier for people with past drug convictions and other simple crimes to be employed by credit unions; and the Department of Agriculture released draft regulations for hemp production.
Four federal agencies issued a joint statement clarifying the legal status of hemp businesses and their requirements for obtaining financial services; while in Michigan, we saw adult-use cannabis sales commence with strong results.
“Even though we're seeing a real shakeout between the solid and shaky companies, the macroeconomics of the industry continues to improve,” said Debra Boarchardt, CEO of Green Market Report. “Michigan began its legal adult-use sales this week opening up a new market for cannabis companies. Plus, banks were told they no longer have to file SARS reports with hemp growing clients. These are two important events and while most are focused on the troubles of several companies, let's not lose sight of major positive developments.”
Rapper Lil Wayne launched his own high-potency cannabis product line, GKUA Ultra Premium.

Ontario to dramatically expand cannabis retail market and remove cap on number of pot
Ontario to dramatically expand cannabis retail market and remove cap on number of pot shops | CTV News
TORONTO -- The Ontario government has announced steps to allow more cannabis retail stores to open in January.
In a news release issued Thursday, Attorney General Doug Downey said that opening the cannabis market in Ontario as “responsibly” as possible has always been the government’s “number one priority.”
“We have said all along that opening more legal stores is the most effective way to combat the illicit market, protect our kids and keep our communities safe.”
In order to achieve these goals, the government said that it will eliminate the temporary cap on the number of private stores and cancel the pre-qualification requirements for prospective retailers.
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) said it will begin accepting applications under the new guidelines on Jan. 6 followed by store authorization applications on Mar. 2.
"Store applications from this open application process are expected to be issued beginning in April, at an initial rate of approximately 20 [stores] per month," the release reads.
Retail operators would be allowed to own a maximum of 30 cannabis stores in 2020, increasing to a total of 75 by Sept. 2021.
The changes also affect licensed producers (LP) in the cannabis sector. LP's will now be able to open up a storefront at one of their facilities.
Under the new rules, retailers will also be permitted to sell cannabis-related items like magazines and cookbooks.

Cannabis activists excited by open market
The lottery system implemented by the Ford government was no stranger to criticism. In the first year of legalization, only 24 legal cannabis stores opened their doors which cannabis activists said was frustrating.
"It’s been kind of impossible to get a license because of the lottery," The Friendly Stranger founder Robin Ellins said, speaking to CP24.
"It really was a lottery and those ‘winners’ are real winners of a lottery."

Downey addressed the criticism over the lottery system earlier today speaking to CP24.
"We wanted to go at a pace so that we could actually make sure the supply was there and that was part of the constraint," Downey said.
"Now that the federal supply has been solved, that issue, we’re now in a position to go much wider and faster."
And that's welcomed news to Ellins who said an open market in the province is "long overdue".
"I think it’s great that people who have been in the industry for the last 25 years may actually get a chance to open licensed establishments and bring our extensive knowledge and expertise to market."

2 Ways to Play the Cannabis Stock Market Boom in 2020
2 WAYS TO PLAY THE CANNABIS BOOM IN 2020

2 Ways to Play the Cannabis Boom in 2020
Story Highlights
The cannabis industry is rapidly expanding, even though stocks fell in 2019.
But infused drinks promise to revolutionize the sector.
Anthony Planas shares two ways you can profit from the rally in 2020.
This was a hell of a year for cannabis.
It marked the first full year of legal cannabis sales in Canada.
Stateside, Illinois legalized adult use. And Michigan kicked off recreational sales this month. That brings the total number of states with legal adult use to 13.
And nine more are set to vote on marijuana laws in 2020.
The cannabis sector is swelling, with over 300,000 jobs added to the economy. All in, the U.S. market is set to rake in more than $12 billion in sales this year!
But you wouldn’t know that by looking at stock prices.
One popular exchange-traded fund (ETF), the Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences Index ETF (Toronto: HMMJ) — which tracks major Canadian producers — is down 53% on the year.
And the American Cannabis Operator Index, which tracks U.S. operators, is down roughly 50% on the year.
The divide between the surge in the cannabis industry and cannabis stock market; and the **** to stock prices is leaving many investors uncertain.
But with the new year come new opportunities.
Here’s why I see a huge rally in cannabis … with a word of caution.
CANNABIS 2.0 LAUNCHES IN CANADA
The biggest names in alcohol have poured billions of dollars into developing a new breed of cannabis products.
Constellation Brands, Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) and Molson Coors Brewing have partnered with Canadian producers to develop infused drinks. These are the same names behind popular brands such as Corona, Budweiser and Coors.
And after more than a year in development, we are expecting a sizable launch in early 2020.
Tilray and AB InBev are taking a slow start with their joint-venture (JV) launch of Fluent Beverage Co. It is starting with a CBD-infused drink.
Remember, CBD won’t get you high. But studies show that it helps with forms of epilepsy, depression, insomnia and more.
THC covers the recreational side. It does get people high.
Hexo and Molson Coors’ JV, Truss, is also starting with a CBD-based drink. The “spring water” drink, Flow Glow, is made with whole fruit extracts. But Truss has plans to rapidly expand to include THC-infused drinks.
Canopy Growth is taking the most aggressive approach with 11 promised drink lines. Its production line started rolling in November. Products are en route to shelves as we speak.
These drinkmakers are looking to offer huge advantages over alcohol with:
Low-calorie options.
No hangover effects.
New technology that can make drinks in any flavor.
While the Canadian market is only about one-tenth the size of the U.S.’, it offers the perfect testing grounds for these new drinks.
Canada’s strict health codes and full legalization mean that beverage companies can design a drink that is ready for new markets as legalization spreads.
We will see the battle of the brands in 2020 as consumers vote with their dollars on the future of the cannabis stock market. But that also means not every company will win.
The winner will see its share price rally, while companies unable to compete will continue to decline.
2 WAYS TO PLAY CANNABIS IN THE 2020S
Here are two ways to play the next decade in the cannabis stock market:
In Real Wealth Strategist, we looked at the best management teams and financials to form our shortlist of companies that we expect to outcompete the sector.
And in Alpha Investor Report, Charles Mizrahi recommends a basket of blue-chip pot stocks. These are companies that are set to profit from growth in the cannabis sector, no matter which producer gets ahead!
But I would caution investors to avoid the major ETFs for the time. The biggest ETFs all hold stakes in financially weak companies. And these will drag on the overall performance and hurt returns.
Good investing,

Congress Attaches Marijuana, Hemp And CBD Provisions To Federal Spending Bills | Marijuana Moment
POLITICSCongress Attaches Marijuana, Hemp And CBD Provisions To Federal Spending BillsPublished 20 hours ago on December 20, 2019By Kyle Jaeger
The House and Senate have agreed to include a variety of marijuana, hemp and CBD provisions in reports attached to appropriations legislation that’s expected to be signed into law by President Trump on Friday.
Although more sweeping provisions that passed the House—such as measures shielding all state and tribal cannabis programs from federal interference and protecting banks that service state-legal marijuana businesses—were omitted from the Fiscal Year 2020 spending legislation following the merging of the two chambers’ versions, the report language that came out of the bicameral negotiations reflects growing bipartisan interest in researching cannabis and ensuring that hemp legalization is effectively implemented.
One provision directs the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to “provide a brief report on the barriers to research that result from the classification of drugs and compounds as Schedule I substances” under federal law within 120 days. There’s widespread recognition, including from the head of NIDA, that the Schedule I status of marijuana has inhibited studies into the plant’s effects.
Another passage encourages the National Institutes of Health to “consider additional investment in studying the medicinal effects and toxicology of cannabidiol and cannabigerol.”
The negotiators also agreed that the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality should issue at least $1 million in grants to research whether CBD and kratom can serve as alternatives to opioids.
“Little research has been done to date on natural products that are used by many to treat pain in place of opioids. These natural plants and substances include kratom and cannabidiol,” the provision says. “The agreement recommends no less than $1,000,000 for this research and directs AHRQ to make center-based grants. Such research should lead to clinical trials in geographic regions which are among the hardest hit by the opioid crisis.”
Additionally, the report allocates $2 million for Food and Drug Administration (FDA) efforts to develop regulations for hemp-derived CBD.
It’s meant to be used for the “research, policy evaluation, market surveillance, issuance of an enforcement discretion policy, and appropriate regulatory activities with respect to products under the jurisdiction of the FDA which contain CBD and meet the definition of hemp,” lawmakers said.
FDA is required to submit a report within 60 days “regarding the agency’s progress toward obtaining and analyzing data to help determine a policy of enforcement discretion and the process in which CBD meeting the definition of hemp will be evaluated for use in products.”
Congress is also directing FDA to “perform a sampling study of the current CBD marketplace to determine the extent to which products are mislabeled or adulterated” and report back to lawmakers within 180 days.
Separately, lawmakers set aside nearly $16.5 million in funding to support the implementation of a domestic hemp program under the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized the crop and its derivatives.
“This funding will ensure hemp farmers have certainty heading into the next planting season,” an explanatory document says.
Another $1 million was earmarked for revenue protection insurance for hemp.
“Hemp producers across the country are looking to Kentucky for our expertise and leadership with this exciting crop, and I’m committed to helping our farmers, processors and manufacturers take full advantage of hemp’s potential,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said in a press release. “These federal resources will help us continue our progress to ensuring hemp is treated just like every other legal commodity.”

McConnell took credit for a series of other provisions included in the legislation, such as $2 million for hemp research, a measure directing the Farm Credit Administration to provide services for hemp businesses, a ban on the federal government blocking the production or sale of the crop, support for competitive U.S. Department of Agriculture grants for hemp projects and a provision meant to promote technology that would help law enforcement distinguish between hemp and marijuana.
The spending legislation also continues a rider that blocks the Department of Justice from interfering with the implementation of medical cannabis programs that has been part of federal law since 2014, though it also contains a provision barring Washington, D.C. from spending its own local tax dollars to legalize and regulate recreational marijuana sales.

Agriculture leaders from around the country are looking to the Bluegrass State’s prospering #hemp industry, and #Kentucky farmers are benefiting from hemp’s resurgence. So far, 102 of Kentucky’s 120 counties are growing the crop with 200 processors operating statewide.

Earlier this year, @KYAgCommish announced that approximately $100 million worth of #Kentucky-grown and processed #hemp products are expected to be sold this year alone.

McConnell took credit for a series of other provisions included in the legislation, such as $2 million for hemp research, a measure directing the Farm Credit Administration to provide services for hemp businesses, a ban on the federal government blocking the production or sale of the crop, support for competitive U.S. Department of Agriculture grants for hemp projects and a provision meant to promote technology that would help law enforcement distinguish between hemp and marijuana.
The spending legislation also continues a rider that blocks the Department of Justice from interfering with the implementation of medical cannabis programs that has been part of federal law since 2014, though it also contains a provision barring Washington, D.C. from spending its own local tax dollars to legalize and regulate recreational marijuana sales.

Edible products hot commodity during first five days on Winnipeg store shelves

Legal edible cannabis chocolate bar
Balneaves brought a chocolate bar containing 10 mg of THC to the CTV News Winnipeg studio. THC is the chemical in cannabis that gets you high.
WINNIPEG -- It appears the first five days of edibles being on shelves at pot stores in Winnipeg were successful.
It didn’t take long for people to get their hands on a variety of cannabis 2.0 products from gummies and chocolates to oil vape pens.
Some stores in the city saying many of the products they ordered in are now sold out.
“Products are selling incredibly well, in some cases as fast as we can get them onto shelves,” said Arbuthnot.
In a news release Delta 9 said it made just under $53,000 on cannabis 2.0 products in the five-day span, which was roughly 9.5 per cent of sales for the week.
It also pointed out that 51 per cent of those sales were connected to oil vapes and 49 per cent were from edible products like gummies and chocolates.
Arbuthnot said they haven’t sold out of all cannabis 2.0 products, but some specific brands have been selling out.
“It’s incredible to see the number of people who are coming into stores just seeking these type of products.”
He feels there will be another surge for new products like topicals and drinkables once they hit stores as well.
STORES SELLING OUT
The popularity of edible products is being felt throughout Winnipeg.
Garden Variety’s Seasons location told CTV News its gummy products were sold out by Saturday and as of Monday afternoon there are no edible products in store. Customers there have been told to expect more by next week.
The store also said vape pens sold out rather quickly as well.
CTV News also spoke with a Tokyo Smoke location and it said that edible products were flying off the shelves and some stores even sold out within 20 minutes.

in realtà il settore non è tutto in caduta, ci sono titoli come ACB che hanno seri problemi, qualche giorno fa se ne è andato il Chief Corporate Officer Cam Battley, ( Aurora Cannabis slumps as exec Cam Battley steps down [Video] )inoltre in Germania gli hanno sospeso le vendite ( Aurora Cannabis products unavailable in Germany until further notice ),
sarebbe interessante capire chi sta fornendo il materiale al posto di Aurora, probabilmente APHA o OGI, che tra l'altro si stanno comportando piuttosto bene, +32% e + 25% dai minimi, anche CGC può essere interessante, +45% dai minimi con Constellation Brands che ha appena sostituito il CEO con suo uomo ( Canopy Growth and its Future Under the New CEO ) e immagino voglia rilanciare l'azienda perchè ci sta rimettendo troppi soldini, si tratta secondo me di selezionare i titoli giusti

Per ACB dopo i problemi avuti, il cambio ai vertici mi sembra una buona notizia.
Comunque se mi vai a considerare i minimi assoluti, allora è facile...ma anche quelli da te citati hanno avuto un crollo importante.
Se poi per la loro la risalita è iniziata un poco prima degli altri, tanto meglio.

a me non sembra una buona notizia, infatti ha perso il 12% in due giorni, mentre APHA e CGC sono rimaste stabili e OGI addirittura ha guadagnato quasi il 5%, oltre tutto anche gli insider si stanno liberando delle loro azioni, secondo me meglio stare lontano da ACB.

Coca-Cola Denies CBD Beverage Rumor Spurred By Video | Marijuana Moment
sembra che coca cola abbia smentito, ce la dobbiamo bere ? (La smentita intendo
)sinceramente a me il video non sembrava un fake, mi sembrava abbastanza spontaneo il tipo, quasi esilarante quando non riusciva ad aprire la lattina,
che ne dite ?

si la cosa strana, è che Aurora Cannabis non ha smentito alla richiesta di Bloomberg News, e che il tipo ha cancellato tutti i suoi profili Facebook,Twitter,Youtube ecc.
a me sa tanto che è vera sta cosa e che questo tipo molto ingenuamente a rivelato al mondo la notizia senza rendersi conto di quanto fosse importante

Mah, magari, sarebbe una bella storia.
Però possibile che nessuno compri?
Possibile che questa notizia la conosca solo il tizio del video, e non tutte le altre persone coinvolte che a quest'ora venderebbero la madre per comprare azioni?
Aurora poi ha interesse a tergiversare visto in che stato è. Coca Cola invece ci ha tenuto a smentire tutto subito, ma diciamo che ci sta.
Poi ripeto ormai non mi stupirei di niente, neanche una discesa più forte del "normale" per far entrare chi dicono loro.
