Welcome to weedstocks. Before you read this post, please take a few seconds to read the rules in the sidebar. We've had an influx of new users recently and the mods have been working overtime trying to keep the usual quality you expect to find here. As such, we're being strict with the rules. If you post low-effort content (including pumping/bashing), if you go off-topic, or if you're disrespectful to another weedstocks member, you will hear from the mods. Finally, please know that we have tools that keep new users from posting. This is to combat bots and spam. New accounts will need to wait 30 days before creating a post or 7 days before being able to leave a comment within a post. We have also implemented a temporary karma requirement, so if you're a new account, please try to engage elsewhere on reddit to learn how to use reddit before posting here. 1. What stocks should I buy? If this is your first question, in my opinion, you're going about investing incorrectly. No one can tell you what stock to buy. It depends on a lot of factors that are personal to you. What is your risk level? How long are you holding? Why do you want to invest in cannabis companies? Every investor is different and has their own reasons for investing. Instead, you should be asking: What companies should I look into? You'll likely get many replies. Some replied might be good. Others might be terrible. You cannot trust random people on the internet to give you investing advice. You can listen to their opinion, but you need to do your own research (we call this research "Due Diligence" or DD for short). 2. How do I research a company? Start with Google. Type in the company name followed by "investor relations." This should bring you to the companies website specifically for investors like yourself. It should have financial information, information about the company, and maybe even a FAQ. I know not everyone likes reading, but if you want to make money, you need to read. If you're not reading, you're gambling. Read about the companies products, read their financial statements, read their MD&A. When you're done that, go on YouTube or check out our past AMA threads for interviews with the company and it's CEO (found in the sidebar). Google the company more. Search their name in weedstocks. What products do they sell? Are those products well reviewed? Etc. This will take time. You can't rush proper due diligence. If you're worried you'll miss out by spending so might time researching, then you're going to run into issues in the future. Buying based on hype is not a solid investment strategy. 3. How do I buy stocks? Most banks have some sort of trading platform. If you have a savings account, you might want to check to see if they offer the ability to buy/sell shares. Just like with stocks, you should do some research one which platform is best for you. Not all are created equal. Some offer free trading (you don't have to pay a fee to buy/sell stock), but in those cases, there are certain limitations and catches. Others will have a small fee for each stock you buy/sell, but will generally be more stable. 4. What are derivatives (options, forwards, swaps, futures)? If you have to ask this question, you should not be considering them. 5. What is an ETF? Are there cannabis ETFs? To put it simply, an ETF is a collection of stocks managed by someone else. You can buy an ETF exactly like buying a stock. This is a way to diversify your investment over multiple companies without having to buy all those companies yourself. This could means it's less risky, but it could also be more risky depending on the stocks within the ETF. Yes, there are cannabis ETFs. You should research them exactly like you would another company. 6. What is the TSX, NASDAQ, CSE, OTC, NYSE? These are what are known as "Stock Exchanges." They are the market places where stocks are bought and sold. Your trading platform should have access to most of these markets by default, but this is something to look at when deciding on the platform you use. US cannabis companies can't list themselves on US stock exchanges as cannabis isn't federally legal, so most of them are found on the TSX, OTC, or CSE instead. 7. Should I invest on margin? Should I take out a loan to invest? If you have to ask this question, you should not be considering it. This is a highly personal decision and depends entirely on your financial situation. Remember, there is not such thing as a sure thing. 8. When will Cannabis be legalized in the US? No one knows. There is no specific date and no guarantee it will actually happen. It's more likely, now that democrats control all 3 branches of the US government, but just because it's likely does not mean it's guaranteed. 9. When is the Tilray/Aphria merger and how will it affect me? Is their an arbitrage opportunity? We don't know the exact merger date, but it is likely to close in the second quarter of 2021. Under the terms of the deal, Aphria shareholders are expected to receive 0.8381 shares of Tilray stock for each share they own of Aphria. Tilray shareholders will simply keep their shares. As for an arbitrage opportunity, there are always risks with merger arbitrage. Right now, the biggest is that the merger might not go through. 10. A company is being shorted X%. I should invest, right? This is another one of those "If you have to ask, then the answer is no" questions. To put it simply, to "short" a stock means that you expect the share price to go down. If a company is being shorted, it's usually because other investors (who, if you're asking this question, likely know more than you) believe the company is not worth the current share price. If the short % is high, that means they REALLY think the company is not worth the current share price. Short positions usually indicate that a share price is too high. This could be because their management is bad, the company is losing money, their products have terrible reviews, or their product/service is becoming more irrelevant with new technology. If you've done your due diligence, you should be able to tell why a stock is being shorted. If you disagree, then you can buy long. Gamestop (GME) was a rare situation where investors shorted so much that other investors were able to take advantage in a unique way. This is not common and should not be attempted without first realizing the risk or understanding what you're doing. 11. Are all pot stocks the same? (courtesy of u/xtr_trek) Definitely not! There are Canadian companies (called Licensed Producers - LP's) operating in Canada's legal market. There are American companies (called multi-state operators - MSO's) operating on a state by state basis. There are ancillary companies, providing things like lights, nutrients, banking services. And there are sector ETF's that encompass various pieces of the above. Within each of those groups, there are also major differences between the companies themselves, with wildly varying revenues, valuations, footprints, and growth strategies. It's more important than ever to understand these differences before you invest! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them below and I'll include them above. A special thanks to u/lookitsian who posted a FAQ previously for us. You can click here to view theirs. It has some additional information not included here.
How To Value A Stock (From Someone Who Has Beaten The S&P Almost Every Year Since 2008)
I recently wrote this up for my friends who asked me how I do what I do. I figured I'd share it here. This is freely available to anyone who wants it, though please credit me if you simply copy/paste. Nothing here is novel, and can be done by anyone. I am not a financial professional, and the example given below is only Abbvie because I forgot that Abbott Labs was alphabetically the first in the S&P 500 when picking an example. First, let’s come right out and say that if you do not have the time to do this, or do not find it enjoyable, just buy low-cost index funds that track either the total market or the S&P 500. Second, let’s make an important distinction: Investing – This is the act of purchasing assets for less than their intrinsic value. This PDF will focus on how to determine the intrinsic value of an asset that produces income. Note that for most assets, this is simply how much money you can extract from the asset over the period of time that you hold it for. There’s no other value than money in investing. Causes and emotions are what philanthropy is for. Speculating – This is, at its core, the act of taking supply of an asset from the present to the future (by hoarding it). If there is more demand, lower supply, or both, this pays the speculator to take the asset from a period of low value to one of high value. It is not gambling, but is very difficult to do, since it entails taking on timing risk. It is not illegal, immoral, or impossible, but I have no special insight into it. I’ll leave it there. Gambling – This looks a lot like speculation, but without any particular reason to believe the asset will be more valuable in the future. Speculators at least estimate the value of an asset to investors, as they are ultimately the end market for an asset. Do not gamble. Full stop. Determining the intrinsic value of an asset The value of an asset is simply the present value of all future income that asset can provide you. Since a dollar in five years is naturally less valuable than a dollar today, you have to discount future income against the opportunity cost of forgoing the dollars you invest today. When we get to the Present Value equation, this is represented by interest. It can also be thought of as the opportunity cost of investing in the asset instead of some other asset or simply consuming the dollars instead. Here’s the actual math. Note that it’s not super hard, and while I will explain it, there are dozens of free websites that will quickly let you calculate this. The key phrase to Google would be “present value of a growing annuity calculator.” PV = (C / i - G) * {1 – [(1 + G)/(1 + i)]^n} PV = present value C = cash flow per period n = number of payments i = interest rate G = growth rate The value for PV is your estimation of what the asset is worth today. If this ends up far higher than the market price, you are probably purchasing dollars for quarters. Avoid edge cases, as you are guessing about both the interest and growth rate. C is the cash flow per period. If you have a high degree of confidence in the culture of the company and it has a long history of being good stewards of retained earnings, you can use the earnings per share (EPS). I usually use the dividend. It is impossible to fake or financially engineer a dividend, and requires less looking through financial documents to make sure it’s what it appears to be. But for, say, Apple or Microsoft or Chevron, feel free to use the EPS. The number of payments is how many payments you expect while holding the asset. Dividends in American companies are typically quarterly (though some pay monthly or every six months, so check on that), so every multiple of four would represent one year if you choose to do it that way. If n = 16, then you’re expecting to hold the asset for 4 years. You can also put in a year’s worth of dividends and keep n = years rather than quarters. I typically do n = 30, since 30 years is both a long time horizon that is realistic, and coincides when I will hit “retirement age.” You will have to decide how far ahead you’re planning. For most people, they are net purchasers of investments while working and net sellers while retired, so keep that in mind. Note that using years instead of quarters will lessen the amount of compounding, and will provide some cushion in case you’re wrong. Interest is one of the two variables you have to guess at. Typically, one would put what you expect the actual long-run interest rate to average for this investment. Unfortunately, this is really difficult. Instead, I use a rate that represents my opportunity cost. There are any number of relatively safe ways to get a 5% yield on money invested, so I generally use i = 5% to represent that this asset has to perform better than a utility or telecom or real estate investment trust. Feel free to use what you feel is most appropriate for you. A higher interest rate will lower the value of the asset, so high-balling this number will provide some cushion in case you’re wrong. The second variable you have to guess at is the growth rate. If you’re looking at the dividend, you want to know how fast to expect it to grow over time. If you’re using the EPS for C, then you want to see how quickly the total earnings are growing per share. This is extremely difficult to predict. I recommend taking the 5-year growth rate and halving it. Dividends will also be more predictable here, as most companies pay out far less than they make, which means even if EPS grows slowly, the dividend can still grow quickly for many years after a boom is over for the company. Note that lowering your estimate for G will lower the value of the asset, so low-balling this number will provide some cushion in case you’re wrong. OK, so let’s walk through an example. I’ll use Abbvie, a biotech/pharmaceutical company. It has a quarterly dividend for the coming year of $1.30/share. Its dividend has an 18.5% growth rate over the last 5 years, and has grown it for the last 7 (it’s only been around for 8 years). I assumed a growth rate (G) of 7%. I used $5.20 as the starting dividend this coming year and used years for my n = 30. As always, I used i = 5%. This gave me an estimated present value of 1 share of Abbvie at $197.94. As of writing this, Abbvie shares are trading on the market at $103.43. This looks like a screaming buy, but first let’s look at why I have a high degree of confidence. Note how the interest was higher than the going rate – I used my “low-risk alternative” as an opportunity cost. Abbvie has an extremely high rate of growth for its dividend, so I took less than half of its current rate. I also calculated annually rather than quarterly, which reduces the impact of high rates of growth. That’s three places in the equation where I consciously lowered the estimated value of a share of Abbvie, and it still came out as a strong buy – spending less about 50c for a dollar! I do this because even if I’m wrong in some or all of my predictions, I now have quite a bit of room to be wrong and still make money. It’s like how you don’t walk next to a steep cliff, right? You should know how to walk where you want to, but there’s always the small chance something could cause you to slip or put a foot wrong. But if your plan is always to be 5 feet away from the edge of the cliff, the odds are that you’ll not go over the edge even if you fall down. Many people feel this is over cautious. But let my portfolio speak for itself. I’ve beaten the S&P 500 index fund every year except one since 2008. My brokerage only keeps digital records back to Dec 2015, but the S&P 500 returned 101% since then – with dividends reinvested. My own portfolio has returned 256%. So caution is still very high reward. In fact, if you just don’t lose, you’ll do better than the vast majority of professional money managers (about 85% of whom cannot even match the index funds). Due diligence still has to occur Now, we can’t just go straight out and buy Abbvie – though it’s a high profile company that receives lots of investor and regulator scrutiny so it’s less likely to have a landmine than most. Just to make sure, you’ll want to do the following before buying shares in this company: -Check the debt load. If the debt is very high, has very high interest rates, or has a lot of it maturing very soon, then this is a yellow flag. It doesn’t mean don’t buy, but make sure you understand the structure of the company’s debt and make sure it won’t impair the company’s earnings going forward. This information is found on the balance sheet. Abbvie has $97.287 billion in long-term liabilities such as debt, pension liability, and deferred taxes. That’s a lot compared to their assets, but they also are owed some money, so it nets out about $90 billion. -What’s the book value? Book value is fairly low at $8.65/share. This is pretty much the assets minus the liabilities. Abbvie is in a knowledge industry, however, so you shouldn’t expect their main assets to be physical capital that can be sold. It’s mostly organizational or human capital from their workforce, so this isn’t worrying. If Abbvie was, say, a retailer with stores and land and inventory, you’d want this to be much, much higher for the share price. There’s no easy way to judge this one, unfortunately, but it’s good to look it up and you’ll eventually get a feel for it. No red flags here. -What are the catastrophic risks that even you or I could think of? For a company in the pharmaceutical space, the obvious answer is regulatory and political risk. Regulatory risk is just want it sounds like – more regulation which can be either costly to comply with or lower profits. This does have an upside, which is that it makes it harder for new competitors to enter a market, so I tend to be rather sanguine about regulatory risk. Political risk is much more severe. This is when politicians decide to either confiscate a company, target it specifically rather than the industry it’s in, or other ways in which the government is involved with taking rather than regulating. In Anglo countries (US/UK/Canada/Australia), the rule of law is typically strong enough that this doesn’t happen much, as there is usually some kind of due process. Places like China, Argentina, Russia, and the EU are much more likely to nationalize or otherwise capriciously penalize a company due to the prevailing political winds. Abbvie has a global footprint, but that also means it’s diversified against such risk. It’s headquartered in the US, so it’s unlikely someone will simply take the entire company. -Payout ratio? Abbvie has a fairly high payout ratio (80% for the last completed fiscal year of 2019), as they have been aggressively growing the dividend. That’s another good reason to input a much lower G than the last few years. That being said, Abbvie has been around for 8 years (it was spun off of Abbott Labs) and has grown its dividend for the last 7 years and has announced it will this coming year as well. The payout ratio is pretty high, but not worrisome. It suggests a fairly mature company that’s now returning cash to shareholders. I’d say this is not nothing, but less than a yellow flag for me. Any company with 95%+ payout ratio is much more vulnerable to a dividend cut. -Credit rating? S&P gives Abbvie a BBB+ grade for its unsecured debt. This is a slight downgrade because their balance sheet is currently digesting a big acquisition from early 2020 (Allergan). Moody’s gives it a Baa2 rating for unsecured debt. These are both good, solid, investment-grade credit ratings (if you were buying the bonds of Abbvie). This looks great. -Does it need a genius? Some companies run on all cylinders because they have a genius at the helm – often a founder. But what you want is a company any dummy can run, because sooner or later any dummy will. Don’t plan to invest long-term in companies that require skilled management. Abbvie is fairly diversified and has an OK pipeline of research. They also can buy little biotech companies that invent something but can’t navigate the regulations to bring it to market. So pondering giants are actually a good thing. Means they’re hard to break. So, given that there was nothing obviously treacherous in our basic due diligence, and the extreme discount at which our example is selling for, this would be one you might want to buy! This is what I do for all the companies I invest in. Notice that there is no story, no excitement, no narrative, no counting on good or bad management. Emotion has no place in investing. You also will notice that we took every opportunity to reduce the risk of losing your capital by always sandbagging the estimated value of the company. You never want to pick up nickels in front of a steamroller. You want the investment to be so obvious it hits you in the face like a baseball bat. If you’re ever on the fence, don’t do it. You don’t have to hit home runs – just don’t strike out. You can be even more conservative in your estimates than I am. If, for instance, you used 5% growth rate for Abbvie’s dividend, you’d still get a present value of $148.57/share vs the current market price of $103.43. Similarly, you could use a higher interest rate, which would also lower the estimated present value. You may have to do this calculation with more companies to find one to buy, but even in a very expensive market like today’s, there is always an opportunity. You don’t even have to look at little companies. There’s around 500 companies in the S&P – just start with “A” and work your way through all of them. A quick note about further reading: I very strongly urge most people to actually read as little as possible on this subject once they get the basics. That’s not because there’s not more to learn, but because I would sadly say the majority of what I see and hear is actively bad advice. But if you do want to keep up with financial news and books and chat boards, the best thing to do is find out what the historical returns of the person giving advice are. Since WWII, the long-run return on the S&P 500 has generally been just a bit shy of 10% per year. If someone can’t beat that, year-in-and-year-out, then their advice is worthless. As in, you don’t want to accidentally absorb it. This is, unfortunately, true for most professionals. Over the last 15 years, 92.2% of actively managed funds have underperformed a simple S&P 500 index fund (and they charge you fees for the privilege). Beware anyone selling something. The advice here is given freely That’s why I made a point of mentioning that I have and regularly outperform the standard fund almost every year. Granted, I don’t have many of the regulatory restrictions a public fund would have, but it shows how useful the advice I’m giving here is. You don’t need anything fancy. You don’t need anything high risk. I’ve done this through two deep recessions and the longest bull market in history. If you want to learn more about investing in general and where I learned how to do this, you can read Benjamin Graham’s The Intelligent Investor. It was written in the 1930s, so much of the technical information is out of date. Skip over that and just read it for the concepts. Even easier reading is to go online to Berkshire Hathaway’s website and pull Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger’s annual letter to shareholders. Almost all of them have something useful in them and don’t make you do equations. I am available for questions in the comments

TL;DR at the end. It will take some time to sort through all the links and read/watch everything, but you should. In the next couple weeks, Mountain Crest Acquisition Corp is taking Playboy public. The existing ticker MCAC will become PLBY. Special purpose acquisition companies have taken private companies public in recent months with great success. I believe this will be no exception. Notably, Playboy is profitable and has skyrocketing revenue going into a transformational growth phase. Porn - First and foremost, let's talk about porn. I know what you guys are thinking. “Porno mags are dead. Why would I want to invest in something like that? I can get porn for free online.” Guess what? You are absolutely right. And that’s exactly why Playboy doesn’t do that anymore. That’s right, they eliminated their print division. And yet they somehow STILL make money from porn that people (see: boomers) pay for on their website through PlayboyTV, Playboy Plus, and iPlayboy. Here’s the thing: Playboy has international, multi-generational name recognition from porn. They have content available in 180 countries. It will be the only publicly traded adult entertainment (porn) company. But that is not where this company is going. It will help support them along the way. You can see every Playboy magazine through iPlayboy if you’re interested. NSFW links below: https://www.playboy.com/ https://www.playboytv.com/ https://www.playboyplus.com/ https://www.iplayboy.com/ Gambling - Some of you might recognize the Playboy brand from gambling trips to places like Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Cancun, London or Macau. They’ve been in the gambling biz for decades through their casinos, clubs, and licensed gaming products. They see the writing on the wall. COVID is accelerating the transition to digital, application based GAMBLING. That’s right. What we are doing on Robinhood with risky options is gambling, and the only reason regulators might give a shit anymore is because we are making too much money. There may be some restrictions put in place, but gambling from your phone on your couch is not going anywhere. More and more states are allowing things like Draftkings, poker, state ‘lottery” apps, hell - even political betting. Michigan and Virginia just ok’d gambling apps. They won’t be the last. This is all from your couch and any 18 year old with a cracked iphone can access it. Wouldn’t it be cool if Playboy was going to do something like that? They’re already working on it. As per CEO Ben Kohn who we will get to later, “...the company’s casino-style digital gaming products with Scientific Games and Microgaming continue to see significant global growth.” Honestly, I stopped researching Scientific Games' sports betting segment when I saw the word ‘omni-channel’. That told me all I needed to know about it’s success. “Our SG Sports™ platform is an enhanced, omni-channel solution for online, self-service and retail fixed odds sports betting – from soccer to tennis, basketball, football, baseball, hockey, motor sports, racing and more.” https://www.scientificgames.com/ https://www.microgaming.co.uk/ “This latter segment has become increasingly enticing for Playboy, and it said last week that it is considering new tie-ups that could include gaming operators like PointsBet and 888Holdings.” https://calvinayre.com/2020/10/05/business/playboys-gaming-ops-could-get-a-boost-from-spac-purchase/ As per their SEC filing: “Significant consumer engagement and spend with Playboy-branded gaming properties around the world, including with leading partners such as Microgaming, Scientific Games, and Caesar’s Entertainment, steers our investment in digital gaming, sports betting and other digital offerings to further support our commercial strategy to expand consumer spend with minimal marginal cost, and gain consumer data to inform go-to-market plans across categories.” https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgadata/1803914/000110465921005986/tm2034213-12_defm14a.htm#tMDAA1 They are expanding into more areas of gaming/gambling, working with international players in the digital gaming/gambling arena, and a Playboy sportsbook is on the horizon. https://www.playboy.com/read/the-pleasure-of-playing-with-yourself-mobile-gaming-in-the-covid-era Cannabis - If you’ve ever read through a Playboy magazine, you know they’ve had a positive relationship with cannabis for many years. As of September 2020, Playboy has made a major shift into the cannabis space. Too good to be true you say? Check their website. Playboy currently sells a range of CBD products. This is a good sign. Federal hemp products, which these most likely are, can be mailed across state lines and most importantly for a company like Playboy, can operate through a traditional banking institution. CBD products are usually the first step towards the cannabis space for large companies. Playboy didn’t make these products themselves meaning they are working with a processor in the cannabis industry. Another good sign for future expansion. What else do they have for sale? Pipes, grinders, ashtrays, rolling trays, joint holders. Hmm. Ok. So it looks like they want to sell some shit. They probably don’t have an active interest in cannabis right? Think again: https://www.forbes.com/sites/javierhasse/2020/09/24/playboy-gets-serious-about-cannabis-law-reform-advocacy-with-new-partnership-grants/?sh=62f044a65cea “Taking yet another step into the cannabis space, Playboy will be announcing later on Thursday (September, 2020) that it is launching a cannabis law reform and advocacy campaign in partnership with National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), Last Prisoner Project, Marijuana Policy Project, the Veterans Cannabis Project, and the Eaze Momentum Program.” “According to information procured exclusively, the three-pronged campaign will focus on calling for federal legalization. The program also includes the creation of a mentorship plan, through which the Playboy Foundation will support entrepreneurs from groups that are underrepresented in the industry.” Remember that CEO Kohn from earlier? He wrote this recently: https://medium.com/naked-open-letters-from-playboy/congress-must-pass-the-more-act-c867c35239ae Seems like he really wants weed to be legal? Hmm wonder why? The writing's on the wall my friends. Playboy wants into the cannabis industry, they are making steps towards this end, and we have favorable conditions for legislative progress. Don’t think branding your own cannabis line is profitable or worthwhile? Tell me why these 41 celebrity millionaires and billionaires are dummies. I’ll wait. https://www.celebstoner.com/news/celebstoner-news/2019/07/12/top-celebrity-cannabis-brands/ Confirmation: I hear you. “This all seems pretty speculative. It would be wildly profitable if they pull this shift off. But how do we really know?” Watch this whole video: https://finance.yahoo.com/video/playboy-ceo-telling-story-female-154907068.html Man - this interview just gets my juices flowing. And highlights one of my favorite reasons for this play. They have so many different business avenues from which a catalyst could appear. I think paying attention, holding shares, and options on these staggered announcements over the next year is the way I am going to go about it. "There's definitely been a shift to direct-to-consumer," he (Kohn) said. "About 50 percent of our revenue today is direct-to-consumer, and that will continue to grow going forward.” “Kohn touted Playboy's portfolio of both digital and consumer products, with casino-style gaming, in particular, serving a crucial role under the company's new business model. Playboy also has its sights on the emerging cannabis market, from CBD products to marijuana products geared toward sexual health and pleasure.” "If THC does become legal in the United States, we have developed certain strains to enhance your sex life that we will launch," Kohn said. https://cheddar.com/media/playboy-goes-public-health-gaming-lifestyle-focus Oh? The CEO actually said it? Ok then. “We have developed certain strains…” They’re already working with growers on strains and genetics? Ok. There are several legal cannabis markets for those products right now, international and stateside. I expect Playboy licensed hemp and THC pre-rolls by EOY. Something like this: https://www.etsy.com/listing/842996758/10-playboy-pre-roll-tubes-limited?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=pre+roll+playboy&ref=sr_gallery-1-2&organic_search_click=1 Maintaining cannabis operations can be costly and a regulatory headache. Playboy’s licensing strategy allows them to pick successful, established partners and sidestep traditional barriers to entry. You know what I like about these new markets? They’re expanding. Worldwide. And they are going to be a bigger deal than they already are with or without Playboy. Who thinks weed and gambling are going away? Too many people like that stuff. These are easy markets. And Playboy is early enough to carve out their spot in each. Fuck it, read this too: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimosman/2020/10/20/playboy-could-be-the-king-of-spacs-here-are-three-picks/?sh=2e13dcaa3e05 Numbers: You want numbers? I got numbers. As per the company’s most recent SEC filing: “For the year ended December 31, 2019, and the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Playboy’s historical consolidated revenue was $78.1 million and $101.3 million, respectively, historical consolidated net income (loss) was $(23.6) million and $(4.8) million, respectively, and Adjusted EBITDA was $13.1 million and $21.8 million, respectively.” “In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Playboy’s Licensing segment contributed $44.2 million in revenue and $31.1 million in net income.” “In the ninth months ended September 30, 2020, Playboy’s Direct-to-Consumer segment contributed $40.2 million in revenue and net income of $0.1 million.” “In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Playboy’s Digital Subscriptions and Content segment contributed $15.4 million in revenue and net income of $7.4 million.” They are profitable across all three of their current business segments. “Playboy’s return to the public markets presents a transformed, streamlined and high-growth business. The Company has over $400 million in cash flows contracted through 2029, sexual wellness products available for sale online and in over 10,000 major retail stores in the US, and a growing variety of clothing and branded lifestyle and digital gaming products.” https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgadata/1803914/000110465921005986/tm2034213-12_defm14a.htm#tSHCF Growth: Playboy has massive growth in China and massive growth potential in India. “In China, where Playboy has spent more than 25 years building its business, our licensees have an enormous footprint of nearly 2,500 brick and mortar stores and 1,000 ecommerce stores selling high quality, Playboy-branded men’s casual wear, shoes/footwear, sleepwear, swimwear, formal suits, leather & non-leather goods, sweaters, active wear, and accessories. We have achieved significant growth in China licensing revenues over the past several years in partnership with strong licensees and high-quality manufacturers, and we are planning for increased growth through updates to our men’s fashion lines and expansion into adjacent categories in men’s skincare and grooming, sexual wellness, and women’s fashion, a category where recent launches have been well received.” The men’s market in China is about the same size as the entire population of the United States and European Union combined. Playboy is a leading brand in this market. They are expanding into the women’s market too. Did you know CBD toothpaste is huge in China? China loves CBD products and has hemp fields that dwarf those in the US. If Playboy expands their CBD line China it will be huge. Did you know the gambling money in Macau absolutely puts Las Vegas to shame? Technically, it's illegal on the mainland, but in reality, there is a lot of gambling going on in China. https://www.forbes.com/sites/javierhasse/2020/10/19/magic-johnson-and-uncle-buds-cbd-brand-enter-china-via-tmall-partnership/?sh=271776ca411e “In India, Playboy today has a presence through select apparel licensees and hospitality establishments. Consumer research suggests significant growth opportunities in the territory with Playboy’s brand and categories of focus.” “Playboy Enterprises has announced the expansion of its global consumer products business into India as part of a partnership with Jay Jay Iconic Brands, a leading fashion and lifestyle Company in India.” “The Indian market today is dominated by consumers under the age of 35, who represent more than 65 percent of the country’s total population and are driving India’s significant online shopping growth. The Playboy brand’s core values of playfulness and exploration resonate strongly with the expressed desires of today’s younger millennial consumers. For us, Playboy was the perfect fit.” “The Playboy international portfolio has been flourishing for more than 25 years in several South Asian markets such as China and Japan. In particular, it has strategically targeted the millennial and gen-Z audiences across categories such as apparel, footwear, home textiles, eyewear and watches.” https://www.licenseglobal.com/industry-news/playboy-expands-global-footprint-india It looks like they gave COVID the heisman in terms of net damage sustained: “Although Playboy has not suffered any material adverse consequences to date from the COVID-19 pandemic, the business has been impacted both negatively and positively. The remote working and stay-at-home orders resulted in the closure of the London Playboy Club and retail stores of Playboy’s licensees, decreasing licensing revenues in the second quarter, as well as causing supply chain disruption and less efficient product development thereby slowing the launch of new products. However, these negative impacts were offset by an increase in Yandy’s direct-to-consumer sales, which have benefited in part from overall increases in online retail sales so far during the pandemic.” Looks like the positives are long term (Yandy acquisition) and the negatives are temporary (stay-at-home orders). https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgadata/1803914/000110465921006093/tm213766-1_defa14a.htm This speaks to their ability to maintain a financially solvent company throughout the transition phase to the aforementioned areas. They’d say some fancy shit like “expanded business model to encompass four key revenue streams: Sexual Wellness, Style & Apparel, Gaming & Lifestyle, and Beauty & Grooming.” I hear “we’re just biding our time with these trinkets until those dollar dollar bill y’all markets are fully up and running.” But the truth is these existing revenue streams are profitable, scalable, and rapidly expanding Playboy’s e-commerce segment around the world. "Even in the face of COVID this year, we've been able to grow EBITDA over 100 percent and revenue over 68 percent, and I expect that to accelerate going into 2021," he said. “Playboy is accelerating its growth in company-owned and branded consumer products in attractive and expanding markets in which it has a proven history of brand affinity and consumer spend.” Also in the SEC filing, the Time Frame: “As we detailed in the definitive proxy statement, the SPAC stockholder meeting to vote on the transaction has been set for February 9th, and, subject to stockholder approval and satisfaction of the other closing conditions, we expect to complete the merger and begin trading on NASDAQ under ticker PLBY shortly thereafter,” concluded Kohn. The Players: Suhail “The Whale” Rizvi (HMFIC), Ben “The Bridge” Kohn (CEO), “lil” Suying Liu & “Big” Dong Liu (Young-gun China gang). I encourage you to look these folks up. The real OG here is Suhail Rizvi. He’s from India originally and Chairman of the Board for the new PLBY company. He was an early investor in Twitter, Square, Facebook and others. His firm, Rizvi Traverse, currently invests in Instacart, Pinterest, Snapchat, Playboy, and SpaceX. Maybe you’ve heard of them. “Rizvi, who owns a sprawling three-home compound in Greenwich, Connecticut, and a 1.65-acre estate in Palm Beach, Florida, near Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg, moved to Iowa Falls when he was five. His father was a professor of psychology at Iowa. Along with his older brother Ashraf, a hedge fund manager, Rizvi graduated from Wharton business school.” “Suhail Rizvi: the 47-year-old 'unsocial' social media baron: When Twitter goes public in the coming weeks (2013), one of the biggest winners will be a 47-year-old financier who guards his secrecy so zealously that he employs a person to take down his Wikipedia entry and scrub his photos from the internet. In IPO, Twitter seeks to be 'anti-FB'” “Prince Alwaleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia looks like a big Twitter winner. So do the moneyed clients of Jamie Dimon. But as you’ve-got-to-be-joking wealth washed over Twitter on Thursday — a company that didn’t exist eight years ago was worth $31.7 billion after its first day on the stock market — the non-boldface name of the moment is Suhail R. Rizvi. Mr. Rizvi, 47, runs a private investment company that is the largest outside investor in Twitter with a 15.6 percent stake worth $3.8 billion at the end of trading on Thursday (November, 2013). Using a web of connections in the tech industry and in finance, as well as a hearty dose of good timing, he brought many prominent names in at the ground floor, including the Saudi prince and some of JPMorgan’s wealthiest clients.” https://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/08/technology/at-twitter-working-behind-the-scenes-toward-a-billion-dollar-payday.html Y’all like that Arab money? How about a dude that can call up Saudi Princes and convince them to spend? Funniest shit about I read about him: “Rizvi was able to buy only $100 million in Facebook shortly before its IPO, thus limiting his returns, according to people with knowledge of the matter.” Poor guy :( He should be fine with the 16 million PLBY shares he's going to have though :) Shuhail also has experience in the entertainment industry. He’s invested in companies like SESAC, ICM, and Summit Entertainment. He’s got Hollywood connections to blast this stuff post-merger. And he’s at least partially responsible for that whole Twilight thing. I’m team Edward btw. I really like what Suhail has done so far. He’s lurked in the shadows while Kohn is consolidating the company, trimming the fat, making Playboy profitable, and aiming the ship at modern growing markets. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-twitter-ipo-rizvi-insight/insight-little-known-hollywood-investor-poised-to-score-with-twitter-ipo-idUSBRE9920VW20131003 Ben “The Bridge” Kohn is an interesting guy. He’s the connection between Rizvi Traverse and Playboy. He’s both CEO of Playboy and was previously Managing Partner at Rizvi Traverse. Ben seems to be the voice of the Playboy-Rizvi partnership, which makes sense with Suhail’s privacy concerns. Kohn said this: “Today is a very big day for all of us at Playboy and for all our partners globally. I stepped into the CEO role at Playboy in 2017 because I saw the biggest opportunity of my career. Playboy is a brand and platform that could not be replicated today. It has massive global reach, with more than $3B of global consumer spend and products sold in over 180 countries. Our mission – to create a culture where all people can pursue pleasure – is rooted in our 67-year history and creates a clear focus for our business and role we play in people’s lives, providing them with the products, services and experiences that create a lifestyle of pleasure. We are taking this step into the public markets because the committed capital will enable us to accelerate our product development and go-to-market strategies and to more rapidly build our direct to consumer capabilities,” said Ben Kohn, CEO of Playboy. “Playboy today is a highly profitable commerce business with a total addressable market projected in the trillions of dollars,” Mr. Kohn continued, “We are actively selling into the Sexual Wellness consumer category, projected to be approximately $400 billion in size by 2024, where our recently launched intimacy products have rolled out to more than 10,000 stores at major US retailers in the United States. Combined with our owned & operated ecommerce Sexual Wellness initiatives, the category will contribute more than 40% of our revenue this year. In our Apparel and Beauty categories, our collaborations with high-end fashion brands including Missguided and PacSun are projected to achieve over $50M in retail sales across the US and UK this year, our leading men’s apparel lines in China expanded to nearly 2500 brick and mortar stores and almost 1000 digital stores, and our new men’s and women’s fragrance line recently launched in Europe. In Gaming, our casino-style digital gaming products with Scientific Games and Microgaming continue to see significant global growth. Our product strategy is informed by years of consumer data as we actively expand from a purely licensing model into owning and operating key high-growth product lines focused on driving profitability and consumer lifetime value. We are thrilled about the future of Playboy. Our foundation has been set to drive further growth and margin, and with the committed capital from this transaction and our more than $180M in NOLs, we will take advantage of the opportunity in front of us, building to our goal of $100M of adjusted EBITDA in 2025.” https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20201001005404/en/Playboy-to-Become-a-Public-Company Also, according to their Form 4s, “Big” Dong Liu and “lil” Suying Liu just loaded up with shares last week. These guys are brothers and seem like the Chinese market connection. They are only 32 & 35 years old. I don’t even know what that means, but it's provocative. https://www.secform4.com/insider-trading/1832415.htm https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mountain-crest-acquisition-corp-ii-002600994.html Y’all like that China money? “Mr. Liu has been the Chief Financial Officer of Dongguan Zhishang Photoelectric Technology Co., Ltd., a regional designer, manufacturer and distributor of LED lights serving commercial customers throughout Southern China since November 2016, at which time he led a syndicate of investments into the firm. Mr. Liu has since overseen the financials of Dongguan Zhishang as well as provided strategic guidance to its board of directors, advising on operational efficiency and cash flow performance. From March 2010 to October 2016, Mr. Liu was the Head of Finance at Feidiao Electrical Group Co., Ltd., a leading Chinese manufacturer of electrical outlets headquartered in Shanghai and with businesses in the greater China region as well as Europe.” Dr. Suying Liu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Mountain Crest Acquisition Corp., commented, “Playboy is a unique and compelling investment opportunity, with one of the world’s largest and most recognized brands, its proven consumer affinity and spend, and its enormous future growth potential in its four product segments and new and existing geographic regions. I am thrilled to be partnering with Ben and his exceptional team to bring his vision to fruition.” https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20201001005404/en/Playboy-to-Become-a-Public-Company These guys are good. They have a proven track record of success across multiple industries. Connections and money run deep with all of these guys. I don’t think they’re in the game to lose. I was going to write a couple more paragraphs about why you should have a look at this but really the best thing you can do is read this SEC filing from a couple days ago. It explains the situation in far better detail. Specifically, look to page 137 and read through their strategy. Also, look at their ownership percentages and compensation plans including the stock options and their prices. The financials look great, revenue is up 90% Q3, and it looks like a bright future. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgadata/1803914/000110465921005986/tm2034213-12_defm14a.htm#tSHCF I’m hesitant to attach this because his position seems short term, but I’m going to with a warning because he does hit on some good points (two are below his link) and he’s got a sizable position in this thing (500k+ on margin, I think). I don’t know this guy but he did look at the same publicly available info and make roughly the same prediction, albeit without the in depth gambling or cannabis mention. You can also search reddit for ‘MCAC’ and very few relevant results come up and none of them even come close to really looking at this thing. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gOvAd6lebs452hFlWWbxVjQ3VMsjGBkbJeXRwDwIJfM/edit?usp=sharing “Also, before you people start making claims that Playboy is a “boomer” company, STOP RIGHT THERE. This is not a good argument. Simply put. The only thing that matters is Playboy’s name recognition, not their archaic business model which doesn’t even exist anymore as they have completely repurposed their business.” “Imagine not buying $MCAC at a 400M valuation lol. Streetwear department is worth 1B alone imo.” Considering the ridiculous Chinese growth as a lifestyle brand, he’s not wrong. Current Cultural Significance and Meme Value: A year ago I wouldn’t have included this section but the events from the last several weeks (even going back to tsla) have proven that a company’s ability to meme and/or gain social network popularity can have an effect. Tik-tok, Snapchat, Twitch, Reddit, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter. They all have Playboy stuff on them. Kids in middle and highschool know what Playboy is but will likely never see or touch one of the magazines in person. They’ll have a Playboy hoodie though. Crazy huh? A lot like GME, PLBY would hugely benefit from meme-value stock interest to drive engagement towards their new business model while also building strategic coffers. This interest may not directly and/or significantly move the stock price but can generate significant interest from larger players who will. Bull Case: The year is 2025. Playboy is now the world leader pleasure brand. They began by offering Playboy licensed gaming products, including gambling products, direct to consumers through existing names. By 2022, demand has skyrocketed and Playboy has designed and released their own gambling platforms. In 2025, they are also a leading cannabis brand in the United States and Canada with proprietary strains and products geared towards sexual wellness. Cannabis was legalized in the US in 2023 when President Biden got glaucoma but had success with cannabis treatment. He personally pushes for cannabis legalization as he steps out of office after his first term. Playboy has also grown their brand in China and India to multi-billion per year markets. The stock goes up from 11ish to 100ish and everyone makes big gains buying somewhere along the way. Bear Case: The United States does a complete 180 on marijuana and gambling. President Biden overdoses on marijuana in the Lincoln bedroom when his FDs go tits up and he loses a ton of money in his sports book app after the Fighting Blue Hens narrowly lose the National Championship to Bama. Playboy is unable to expand their cannabis and gambling brands but still does well with their worldwide lifestyle brand. They gain and lose some interest in China and India but the markets are too large to ignore them completely. The stock goes up from 11ish to 13ish and everyone makes 15-20% gains. TL;DR: Successful technology/e-commerce investment firm took over Playboy to turn it into a porn, online gambling/gaming, sports book, cannabis company, worldwide lifestyle brand that promotes sexual wellness, vetern access, women-ownership, minority-ownership, and “pleasure for all”. Does a successful online team reinventing an antiquated physical copy giant sound familiar? No options yet, shares only for now. $11.38 per share at time of writing. My guess? $20 by the end of February. $50 by EOY. This is not financial advice. I am not qualified to give financial advice. I’m just sayin’ I would personally use a Playboy sports book app while smoking a Playboy strain specific joint and it would be cool if they did that. Do your own research. You’d probably want to start here: WARNING - POTENTIALLY NSFW - SEXY MODELS AHEAD - no actual nudity though https://s26.q4cdn.com/895475556/files/doc_presentations/Playboy-Craig-Hallum-Conference-Investor-Presentation-11_17_20-compressed.pdf Or here: https://www.mcacquisition.com/investor-relations/default.aspx Jimmy Chill: “Get into any SPAC at $10 or $11 and you are going to make money.” STL;DR: Buy MCAC. MCAC > PLBY couple weeks. Rocketship. Moon. Position: 5000 shares. I will buy short, medium, and long-dated calls once available.

Story Time!!!
“Happiness” - By Anonymous Person Then I stopped to think, if helping a little kitten could make me smile, maybe doing something for people could make me happy. So the next day I baked some biscuits and took them to a neighbour who was sick in bed. Every day I try and do something nice for someone. It made me so happy to see them happy. Today, I don’t know of anybody who sleeps and eats better than I do. I’ve found happiness by giving it to others. When she heard that, the rich lady cried. She had everything money could buy, but she had lost the things money cannot buy. The beauty of life does not depend on how happy you are; but on how happy others can be because of you. Happiness is not a destination, its a journey. Happiness is not tomorrow, it is now. Happiness is not dependancy, it is a decision. Happiness is what you are, not what you have!

Dear haters, I have so much more for you to be mad at. Just be patient. Behind someone successful, always lies a pack of haters behind. Because lets face it — if you can’t handle being talked about... you’re not ready for success. Success comes in a variety of things; little and big. Everyone wants to be “successful” in life... but what they really don’t know? They already are. They’re waking up every single day, battling life as it comes to them; problems, situations, decisions, sickness, and just doing their best at life... and thats really all that matters? You’re waking up every day - if you’re blessed with it - doing little things during the day, or having a relaxful “nothing” day.... and that? That is successful, too. Reward yourself every so often. Don’t be scared to take a few days off work - you’re doing yourself a favour by making your mental and physical health better for a day... regaining all that strength, and just having a relaxing, stress free day... and we all deserve those every once in a while. So if you’re feeling anxious, and down, and not wanting to go to work? Don’t feel bad to call in.... everyone needs “those days” to get onto a better day!

[Initial Impressions] Meermin Wholecut Chelsea - Dark Brown Calf
Album first Edit: Added some additional pics in the album. Intro This is my third pair of goodyear welted boots. My current go-to boots are Wolverine 1000 Mile Evans; these being a very casual look, I wanted a dressier boot, one that I could dress up with a suit or dress down with jeans. The chelsea boot seemed to fit the bill. Purchasing I bought these from Meermin’s website for $330 CAD, including shipping. As a Canadian who has been shopping around for quality footwear for a while, this is CHEAP. I’m more than happy with the price. Got dinged for $16 in taxes when it cleared customs, and UPS charged a $10 brokerage fee for collecting this. Something to keep in mind for fellow Canadians - if you need to do any returns, there’ll be some costs that you won’t get back. Still quite happy with the $356 CAD all-in; I don’t think I could have gotten anything close to this quality at local retail for that price. Meermin also shipped the boots UPS Expedited from New Jersey, which was nice, as shipping was quite fast. They shipped about 1 business day after ordering, and arrived 3 days later. Sizing, Fit, and Comfort Buying footwear online without the opportunity to try on is always a bit of a gamble, and I put a lot of effort into trying to get the sizing right, since return and re-purchase costs could add up pretty quickly, on top of just being annoying. Meermin customer service emailed me some very helpful information on measuring my feet, as well as a link to their sizing tool (https://digamelon.typeform.com/to/yqolYj), which was super helpful as it gives full measurements for all the Meermin lasts in each size. I did a lot of measuring of my feet before settling on size 10UK. Again, the sizing tool was invaluable for choosing the right size - I had seen a lot of advice to go a full size down from your US size to Meermin’s UK sizing. I wear a US 10.5D in most shoes, but I think the 9.5 UK would have been too narrow in the toe - this is a common issue for me, as my forefoot is around a D width, but my hindfoot and ankle are rather narrow. In many of the chelsea boots I’ve tried (including Red Wing Willistons), the ones long enough to accommodate my foot length are either too narrow in the toe, or too wide in the heel and around the ankle. For further sizing reference for anyone out there, I wear a US 9.5D Wolverine 1000 Mile, I own a pair of US 9.5D Thursday Presidents that are just a bit too narrow at the point of the toe for me to be truly comfortable, and when I tried on a pair of Iron Rangers at the Red Wing store, the US 9D fit me best. Overall the fit is comfortable, but not perfect. The collar is a bit loose around my ankle at the front and back, and there's a bit of extra room around my heel, though heel slip is minimal. The fit around my forefoot and toes is just right. Snug, but not tight. Thicker socks improve the fit somewhat. I ended up buying Superfeet’s ¾ insert off Amazon, which fills in some volume in the heel and under the vamp, and makes the fit almost perfect. Pretty satisfied with the fit overall. Finding chelsea boots of this style that were even remotely comfortable for my foot shape was a challenge, much less a goodyear welted pair. At some point I’d like to see if a cobbler could make me a thicker ¾ leather insole so that I’d no longer need the Superfeet inserts. If anyone’s ever done something like that, I’d be interested to hear about it. Look and Style I was debating a black chelsea vs. a dark brown and ended up going with dark brown, as I feel like it would be more versatile with my wardrobe. The look and style is exactly what I wanted - the toes are somewhat pointed, giving the boots a dressier and sleeker profile than the rounded toe on chelsea boots like Blundstones, while still providing enough room for my wide, squarish toes. The colour is pretty true to what was shown on Meermin’s website, a nice shiny uniform dark brown that can be dressed up or down. The day my boots arrived, my kids wanted to have a “fancy dinner” at home, so I wore them with my suit (which doesn’t get any wear these days due to COVID) - the boots looked sharp! Leather and Craftsmanship The calf leather (from Les Tanneries Du Puy in France, per Meermin) is quite soft and supple. I haven’t worn these for an extended period yet, but so far the break-in seems pretty gentle, contrary to what I’d heard about Meermin boots in general. A few mild tight spots, but overall pretty comfortable right off the bat. The overall fit and finish is pretty good. I’ve read mixed reviews about Meermin in this area, but mine seem pretty solid. There were a few loose threads left around the edge of the elastic areas, but they weren’t attached to anything and I was able to just pick them off. Looked like stuff that just didn’t get cleaned up before they left the factory. There is what appears to be a slight crease line running down the front center of both boots, from the top of the collar down to the toe. Just a slightly lighter thin line in the leather - looks like where the leather was folded to shape the boot. It’s very hard to see; I can only see it up close in certain light, but this might bother some people. This is my first pair of chelsea boots, so I don’t know if this is common. Conclusion Pretty happy with these. I’ve been looking for a good chelsea boot for a while, and this is exactly the style that I wanted. My options in Canada at this price point that aren’t cemented crap are next to non-existent, so this was a nice introduction to Meermin. If anyone knows if Meermin has a last with the same width toe as the Hiro with a narrower heel, please let me know!
*ESSAY* My story of successfully living as a hetero man with AGP
Disclaimer: Before we begin, let's establish some boundaries: I'm not able to speak for every person with AGP. I haven't been conducting in-depth studies for years on thousands of patients. All I can tell you is my story, and my observations in my life. I've been commenting on others' posts with little tidbits and excerpts from my life and my stances, but I've now received several private messages asking for more info - one person in particular asked for me to write out my "full story" more or less...so perhaps this is more effective, to have it all in one place. There are many examples of "successful" trans stories, and tragic tales of de-transitioning, yet we don't see or hear much about AGP men leading a happy, successful life into middle-to-old age...which I think is mostly self-evident: if you happily manage it, you aren't likely to want to bring up old memories again in some reddit post. However, after so many years of not having anyone to understand me, I am enjoying wading in these waters, and absolutely feel it as my duty to share my story of success. One more time for emphasis: AGP seems to affect people very similarly in some ways, and very different in others. Someone who was molested is likely to have a harsher trauma than someone who was told they looked like a girl one time - but it's actually not certain. We have SUCH limited data and awareness as a society on this thing, that it's almost all anecdotal other than a handful of doctors/authors. And while I write this to give hope to many, I understand that an 18 year old who already knows they have AGP has a way better chance of breaking habits as opposed to a 48 year old who's been indulging them since puberty. That said, perhaps the 48 year old has more willpower than the 18 year old! Point being, my story will explain what's worked for me. Perhaps it could work for you as well, or perhaps you actually want to feed into the AGP. This got very long.I've divided it up into 3 parts:
Early life + teen years. This is the longest due to the importance of formative years + the relevance to a lot of young guys reading this. Writing about these parts was like looking into a different world, so guys, please have patience with your developing mind.
College years up until discovering "AGP" as a concept at 27. This is the shortest section, due to its relatively static nature.
27 "the year of destiny"-present. This is also long because I begin with my discovery of AGP, and I've ended it off with my advice on how to achieve similar results with success. I'd recommend scrolling to the end if you're of limited attention span and just want some jot-points...but knowing AGP, I think you'll all read it just fine.
PART 1 Potential origins: I didn't have a terrifying upbringing or a terrible family, but there were flaws. My father was a hard-ass about "manning up" which I actually think has a place, but he didn't balance that with expressing love as much as he could have. But I believe the major point of origin was when my sister and I (she's 2 years younger) would get in an argument or potentially minor physical clash, she would screech and my dad would come running in and give me a smack. No beatings, but it was evident to young me (I believe this happened from the range of 6-10 years old) that boys were at more physical risk than girls. It was never explained (if it was, it wasn't done well because I don't remember it) about the biological differences between boys and girls as they get older, which at least would have made more sense. However, it was still a bad scene since my sister figured out the game and would fake-scream just to get me in trouble sometimes. I am sure this could have contributed to the AGP, as my brain may have imprinted from a base, primitive, survival level that being a girl is safer - ironically it's clear now that women are much more physically vulnerable, but once the imprint establishes itself, it's in. My father was the bad cop, my mom the good cop, he was working a lot - which I'm grateful for - but he wasn't as involved as he could have been in hindsight. They eventually split up when I was 10, about a year before puberty...so yeah, I'm sure all of this has some accumulative effect. During this pre-pubescent time, I was entirely hetero on the surface, although I can vividly recall a dream or two where I was a girl against my will - telling that I recall them. One was where I ran out the front door and if I didn't go back in, I'd become a girl. Another one I was sitting at a dinner table and I just was a girl - this one was actually more uncomfortably weird, due to me just being a girl in it doing normal things, but knowing I wasn't in real life. Anyway, those dreams are not to be ignored, but I had the standard crushes on girls and had multiple "girlfriends" even at age 10. Played some sports but wasn't super interested in them at this point, although I liked video games and competition. I've always been emotionally intelligent, but other than that I had no typical feminine interests or desire for their clothing/bodies. Girls, to me, were mostly just boring people who didn't get rough and play sports with us guys. I don't recall any conscious AGP feelings until puberty, where the imprint barged in through my mind's walls KOOL-AID MAN STYLE. First signs of AGP Safe to say, from here on out it's NSFW, but I'll try to keep it as classy as possible while still being informative. Had it ever since first masturbation. It was to a picture of Angelina Jolie on a video game magazine dressed as Tomb Raider; I was very fixated on the tight shorts and imagined myself as her, and after that I'd often imagine myself as a woman in sex with a "shadow" man. I had never watched porn at this point, although I had seen sex scenes in movies which gave me the visual fuel. I was the typical teen boy in that I was jacking off MULTIPLE TIMES every day, but I was atypical in that it was always AGP. I didn't have regular access to the internet until I was 14 or so, and even then I was never really into porn. All I needed was imagery if I wanted external stimulation; looking at a picture of a naked woman and imagining I had her body. My imagination game is very strong. I remember first hearing about "transsexuals" or "sex changes" through TV shows/movies, and would get strangely curious about it. I remember reading into it at some point, and being immensely turned on the whole time. I went to a school with uniforms and would look at girls all day, and often I'd get jealous when they'd wear tight pants. Much more tamely, I'd often play little weird games in my head like when playing games I'd think to myself "if you hit that target on this shot, you get to become a hot girl". So...YEAH it was pretty strong. It's also important to mention that I went through many changes during one year, around 11 years old: puberty, parents separating (only saw father every 2nd weekend), went to a different school...so it was a lot of change at once, and it's hard to say how much each contributed to what. Social struggles, search for teen identity All I know is I was significantly less socially successful from 4th grade to 5th, by a longshot. I was still playing sports and doing well at all that, but I just never really had that drive or knowhow to interact with girls. I was a good looking athlete so I was a little confused at all this; although I was also very late to the internet game as I mentioned - a lot of social bonding was happening over "MSN messenger, the equivalent to "AOL messenger" or the current facebook messenger. I was missing out on a lot of interaction there, so once again, hard to pinpoint how much was the AGP's fault, but I doubt it helped. From 11-16 I didn't really know how to socialize effectively, although I was starting to get girlfriends slowly but surely in high school (14-16). And then my father passed away from cancer! Certainly not ideal. Around 16 I found a group of stoner males that taught me a bit of the "party scene", although they had a parallel group of females that I actually started hanging out with more. This was probably the most effeminate path I'd taken in life to this point, but the guys were very aggressive and harsh, and I was so much more emotionally sensitive. I will never forget one night these girls tried convincing me "come on, just admit it, you ARE a girl! it's fine, you're just one of us..." uhh COME ON GOD WHAT THE HECK. That scene is instilled in my head to this day as an AGP-dysphoric memory. All this time, I was indulging in AGP masturbation fantasies, but I also had strong hetero competition - I had romantic girlfriends, and even in that female group of friends I actually would have liked to have hooked up with some of them. I really just lacked the ability to be forthright and bold and masculine in my advances; all of the girlfriends I had, had advanced on me first. I will admit I have very good looks...without them, I would have likely been incel...UNTIL: ALCOHOL HELPED WITH HETEROSEXUAL ENCOUNTERS Around 17-18 years old I merged back in with the male group, and started drinking at gatherings/parties more often. Turns out this was GREAT for making me analyze less, being more forthright and brash, etc. Sure, I also behaved as a buffoon, but I guess in hindsight it did get me feeling stronger about my masculine side. Really not good advice, as I did engage in the typical "college weekend alcoholic" for years, something I didn't fully escape until about 27. BACK TO PRODUCTIVE INSIGHT/ADVICE: cross-dressing phase So yes, I clearly had textbook AGP, but it didn't terribly impact my life for a while - I imagine being purely hetero during puberty would have me jacking off just as often, and being just as distracted. Testosterone is a heckuva drug. But there was some escalation eventually. I believe the first time I cross-dressed in private was around 14-15...this gave me TREMENDOUS AGP excitement, but I felt a ton of shame and the level of arousal was a little scary. If I had to guess, I'd say I did it only once or twice every year, until somewhere in my later teens, perhaps 16-18. It's hard to pinpoint, but I do know that at some point I started CDing (always to intense ejaculation) more and more, and one week in particular I was doing it every day. I began shakily/anxiously trying to put on makeup, and even *NSFW* putting a lubed-up pen up my butt a little bit. Writing that out feels weird, but hey, them's the facts. Thankfully, one day that week, someone came home - I believe it was my sister. I was fully dressed up + makeup, and my heart was pounding. Luckily I was in the bathroom, so I SOMEHOW MANAGED to have a shower and return all the clothing without anyone ever noticing. But I'm pretty sure that was the last time I ever CD'd...and I haven't looked back in that time. It was very clearly the most addictive thing I've ever felt in my entire life, and in the span of one week it was already escalating tremendously. First big dysphoria Let's talk about my thoughts during these times. As this CD phase escalated, dysphoria became extremely present. I remember getting hard to thoughts of myself as a woman, looking at my cock, and thinking "well, I see you're happy, but you're going to be cut up into a vagina someday if we keep doing this. Hope you're happy, bro". I am somewhat of a manlet, with light features, and small hands/feet/bone structure, which only confused me further. I thought often and thoroughly about how it seemed I was basically meant to be a woman, and how there was no escaping. This level of obsessive thought-loop has appeared several times in my life, but thankfully not consistently or for too long. Every time I was in the deepest depths of this dysphoric mindset, I always felt my worst. The more I tried embracing my "inner woman", the more incredibly anxious, depressed, shaky, weak I'd feel...it became clear to me that I do not want to feel those things, and I had a lot to be grateful for in my male life. If this happened the more I accepted being a woman, then why would I surrender and feel that way all the time?! As I strayed away from the CDing, the dysphoria dissipated considerably. ONE MORE TIME I have basically never felt intense anxiety or depression as an adult male. I always feel intense anxiety or depression when I have fed the AGP to the point it grows to dysphoria. This should be a major emphasis for anyone out there who's still reading and resonates with my story. We are always told to listen to our body in terms of health, so why should this be any different? Yes, sure, if you get depressed NOT giving into your AGP, then sure, try indulging. But for me, one week of crossdressing seriously impacted my stimulus-sensitive mind, and could have altered my life completely had I not stopped then and there. By the way, I didn't pop a pill, it wasn't easy...but I did it. I'm not a superhero. If you recognize that a drug addiction is bad for you, it's not going to be easy to quit...but you can do it. PART 2 Alpha Chad Frat Boy + First "Coming Out" Welcome to part 2, and I hope you enjoy the ironic title of the next stage. I'm going to try to be as concise as I can, as part 1 was very long - but the formative years are incredibly important, especially considering many young men will be reading this and still living in those years. This next period basically covers my late teens/mid 20s. It's important to remember I still didn't even know what AGP was at this point. Huge disadvantage. I had figured I was maybe "half trans" or something, but couldn't figure it out. After the CDing phase, I continued my partying and social growth. On the positive side, I had some AMAZINGLY FUN times - despite my emotional senses, I am still extremely extroverted. And by this stage, likely with the help of alcohol, I had managed to build up some protective walls so the harsh words of brotherhood didn't affect me so much. I made MANY friends, and had sex with MANY women in my early-mid 20s. The negative side: this immense social success made it very easy to ignore AGP tendencies. I still had very strong AGP masturbation fantasies, and was actually imagining I was many of the women I slept with. But because I was satisfying a huge social issue for me, this wasn't a big deal... ...until I actually fell for a girl, instead of just wanting a one-night stand. All my obsessive thinking was transferred to her - and I never got with her, even though we spent almost every day together for 2 years. We took the same classes, but she completely friend-zoned me. I would still hook up with other women, but she was always the target. She also didn't help the AGP by saying things like "I wish you were girl so we could talk about fashion/boys/etc." or "what if we come back for a class reunion in 10 years and you're a woman!" Idk if this broad could see the underlying femininity or what, but that was certainly not great. Eventually, after trying to overtly and forthrightly convince her to date me for two years, I drunkenly tried to fight my friend at a party who was making a move on her. She hated me for this, and said she never wanted to speak to me again. "OH HI MARK, HOW'S YOUR SEX LIFE?" - my AGP morphing to dysphoria at that moment in time. Yeah, turns out if you completely shut out all remotely feminine traits in public, while privately engaging in AGP fantasies, and then putting all your emotional eggs in one human being...you're putting a lot of hope in that one basket not falling. Well, it fell. And I genuinely loved her as a friend at the least, so I actually told her I wanted to meet up and tell her something important. I told her I had "trans thoughts" and went into some detail. I wanted her to just tell me it was obvious and that I should go for it, if we're being honest. I was wide open for exploitation after having all those "eggs in a basket" explode in one night...THANK GOD I didn't know about trans reddit, they would have had a field day. I got lucky. This girl was shocked, and told me I shouldn't do anything drastic, that she wasn't someone who knew what to do here. It's important to note she had previously expressed some curiosity toward trans people, and seemed to like the idea of them. But her very rational response here was a major blessing at that vulnerable moment in my life. Saying a lot of these then-decade old thoughts (was probably 21-22) out loud was therapeutic enough at the time, so the dysphoria basically vanished. This is why I do not recommend "blind repression", as it can leave you vulnerable when sometimes even just talking about or acknowledging the AGP on a non-sexual level an relieve very heavy dysphoria. But I still didn't even know what AGP was...so let's fast-forward. First therapeutic activity At 23, after what was probably another year of blind repression like I'd done in the past, I managed to find an outlet for my emotionally sensitive side: acting classes. I had a very tough instructor who cut right through my tough-guy act and helped break down my walls to access the emotion required for acting out highly emotional scenes. This probably saved my life. For me, sexually feeding the AGP directly will lead to the least-desired outcome. However, finding an outlet to vent the AGP-adjacent (feminine, softer, but not sexual) side of me seems to have altered my life a lot. I also began exercising more than ever during this stage of my life. This was also the poorest I have ever been financially, working temporary factory jobs for minimum wage. But I don't recall any major flare-ups leading to dysphoria, even though I was still engaging in the AGP masturbation fantasies, and doing the "I'm her" thing during sex. This indicates that even during times where flare-ups are more likely, things like exercise and having a "vent" can help. Career boost I focused on training for my career and at 24 I got a huge opportunity with a company. This helped boost mental well-being and kept things largely on-track for a few years... Part 3 AGP discovery At 27, I had moved to a new city, living at an AirBnb with other people, my career lost some momentum, and I still hadn't had a stable relationship since I was 19...you guessed it, AGP-fueled dysphoria-time. This was the most critical turning point in my entire life to this point: I stumbled upon the concept of AGP. This was amazing! It described me perfectly, and so I delved through alllll the literature, and allll the online content...but remember, my life was still un-sturdy. I still exercised, but on its own it is not enough. And now I was obsessing over the AGP, diving in head-first...I ended up entering by far the worst dysphoria since the CDing era in my teens, arguably worse. I say worse because I was very recently 27, and was acutely aware that 27 was getting a little too close to 30. Instead of learning how to control the AGP, I ended up watching some of the sissy hypno for the first time, and masturbating multiple times a day to AGP fantasies. Fortunately, I was old enough at this time to comprehend how powerful it was, and didn't go too far in that. But it was the most intense year of my life. I could feel a spiritual tug-o-war, it was very apparent that this was now-or-never - in both directions. Knowing my enemy in AGP was great, but it wasn't great that I had a strong condition that the literature made it seem as if one day I was doomed to transition no matter what. Doomed to Trans? And doesn't that just play right into the fantasy? "well, you're going to do it as an old weird dude anyway, might as well do it now and not destroy the lives of a woman and children - not to mention enjoy some attractive pretend-woman years" "just give in" "surrender to it all, let it happen"... What a siren song for someone with AGP...and yet, there was so much at stake. While not as wildly social as my early 20's (I quit drinking to excess that year), I enjoyed my social life as a male. I was attracted to women, even with the AGP sideshow. Let's face it: the most beautiful, mentally sound women are much more likely to be attracted to an in-tact man, and a traditionally masculine man at that. They want someone to fill the father role for their children. There's also the matter of personal well-being. I've never seen an elderly transperson, frankly, until Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner. And they have the best medical teams money can buy. The facts are that medical transition is extremely dangerous...most people can develop serious health problems just from living normally, never mind the introduction of cross-gender hormones. One is hooked on a lifetime prescription of pills. As for the physical surgery elements: a neovagina has many, often disgusting, unfortunate outcomes that are far from uncommon. We will never be women. Knowing I had AGP really helped with that, especially as I do have some feminine-ish physical traits. It's a lot harder to justify living as a man if you're definitively instructed by society that you're actually a woman in the wrong body...and that's all I could find for the first 16 years of my pubescent life. So I more or less listed the pros and cons of each. List your pros/cons of each outcome Pros of living male: great mental and physical health, attractive, great friends, get to create my own family, get to be with a great woman, career is overall still good, my future goals all align with this, day-to-day life is easy in term's of society's expectations of appearance, don't have to worry about walking alone at night etc. Cons: never knowing for sure what the other side feels like, must exercise discipline instead of instant gratification, society expects a higher income if you plan on mating effectively, people feel less sorry for you, more responsibility Pros of deciding to be a pseudo-woman: perhaps orgasms would be 12/10, not just 10/10, would at least be fun at first to play with female/body, basically get to hit re-start button on life and learn a new-playthrough, less responsibility, have sense of finality as opposed to constant wondering in dysphoric state cons: may be unattractive, even if somewhat attractive will always know that you aren't actually a woman, less men will be interested in settling down, infertile, likely to die sooner, less physical strength, more vulnerable, mental health likely less stable due to nature of estrogen, operations could be botched leaving one a mutilated mess, will drastically alter all friend/family/work relationships, have to learn how to live from the ground-up in a brand new world, novelty could wear off and realize grass was not greener ...I'm not sure if it's the same for you, but it sure looks like the cons for succumbing to the AGP desires are more numerous and have much more dire consequences. It looks like a fun sexual gamble you'd maybe take with a video game character...but to take a chance risking a good life? It was obviously the worst outcome. Do I have control? Okay, so the AGP feelings are permanent, but I wanted to overcome them. I logically recognized that the male life is much more desirable...but once again, am I doomed? Heading towards 30, I wanted to find that special lady and have some kids, and I would loathe myself to give in to a selfish, illogical sexual kink that ruins the mental state of an entire family. Was I doomed? Not if I could help it. If I kept blindly hoping for the best, pretending there was no dragon nearby, one day that dragon would emerge from its cave and kill me. If I was going to "die" at the hands of this thing, I was going to do it in the dragon's lair. Die bravely, or live triumphantly. I needed to hammer this out, so I reached out to Blanchard himself, and he mercifully replied. Living in Canada, I was able to see his friend Ken Zucker, who understands AGP - I WOULD ONLY RECOMMEND GOING TO SOMEONE WHO TAKES AGP SERIOUSLY. The majority of today's gender therapists are likely to look for any reason to castrate you, more or less. Heading into the therapy, I realized that this was an intense step and the dysphoria flared up substantially for the final time. I will admit, the AGP wanted him to tell me I was doomed and had to do it. It wasn't the logic talking, but the AGP knew it was closer to its goal than ever before... Thankfully, talking about ALL of this with a true professional helped immensely. He said there is likely some AGP (no way!), but nothing I can't handle. I can't stress enough how fighting this head-on was such a victory for me living a normal life. Now, this exact therapy-outcome may not be realistic for many. Money and/or an AGP-aware gender doc may not be in play. Use this subreddit, ask people like me or others whose story sounds relatable to yours. You can achieve this first step of clarity in many ways on your own. Take control.
Figure out your exact condition, your feelings, what's led to it all, where you see your future...FIGURE IT OUT. Way easier said than done, but so crucial.
Decide your path, understanding that at no point will you be "forced" to do anything. Everything in my story after the AGP was imprinted was a choice of mine. The only difference was that each choice was made with different levels of wisdom behind it.
Protect yourself. Let's talk about that.
Protect yourself Understand that while deciding to carry on as male is almost always the smart choice, and long-term the "easier" life...you are likely to have at least mild-to-medium AGP flare-ups for life. The people who go for the pseudo-woman life are sacrificing a lot long-term, but their big advantage is that they at least don't have to worry about AGP taking over any more - they've surrendered to it, at whatever cost that may be. But if your life would be much better as a male, then I liken this logic to losing a war. Sure, the relief of the war being over would be something - you don't have to fight for your life anymore - but the repercussions may be profound, as seen by the effects on defeated nations/civilizations over the years. It's been 2 years since my last dysphoria/major AGP flare-up, which is pretty cool, but obviously not a victory lap yet. However, there are massive differences in my lifestyle between now and my pre-AGP-aware repressions:
I no longer look at porn at all, or use AGP fantasies for masturbation or during sex. The urge isn't even there.
After implementing this mental wiring ^ I was able to increase my outward female-targeting. This landed me a great gal that I've since married, and I dominate her submissiveness automatically. Writing this essay has basically been like looking into a different world, in hindsight.
I've come to Christ fully and completely. To be honest, if you look at how my puberty began and where my life is now, it's not hard to see "miracles" can take place, and I do attribute God to many of my life's saving turning points...however I didn't mention His influence until now, as I want to reach as many people as possible, and I know reddit isn't the most Christian-friendly website. But I assure you that the advantages to having Faith are very helpful. One caveat: if someone does not effectively take control and understand their issues before jumping headfirst into religion, it is more likely to result in relapse. Hence the molester priests who kept their problems buried their entire lives.
I've returned to the weight-lifting of my early-20's, with a better diet than I ever had back then (and less of a weekend alcohol addiction). These seem basic, but mental health is so drastically improved from these factors alone, that it's worth mentioning.
Obsessive thought-loops: these are what spiral the AGP out of control, but they can also keep you going to the gym every day. Feeding the AGP via little thoughts will generally lead to medium thoughts, and so-on, unless it is identified and squashed early on. When I get mild flare ups I just laugh, and go over to kiss my wife, realizing she's a better woman than I could ever pretend to be. We are likely all somewhat obsessive, so be vigilant with your thought cycles.
Pillars of stability I figured that I'd identify some pillars of stability that will naturally reduce anxiety and accompanying AGP flare-ups:
Career. Find a way to be happy while making money
Romance. The longer you use AGP fantasy in masturbation/sex, the harder this aspect will be to fulfill. If you pop an AGP boner, try switching over to a hetero fantasy before you finish. Maybe a girl you have a crush on. Tbh I've finished to visualizations of my ideal life, which is weird but seems to work
Physical. Work out, if not for physical appearance, then for mental well-being. Maintain a strong diet, get your vitamins.
Social. We are social creatures, get out there and have some fun. Loneliness is a major source of AGP flare-up.
Spiritual. I personally testify that God has had a major hand in my preservation, and not just from AGP/dysphoria. Maybe this seems silly, but keep an open mind.
You may notice that all of these are under attack from the lockdowns...I personally don't think this is an accident. It doesn't take a genius to see how terribly mental health in general has been affected by it all. Stay vigilant. Do not allow corrupt politicians (who don't abide their own rules) to mentally castrate you. Final thoughts/Where I'm at now I've been writing this for almost 4 hours now...jeez. My brain is spent, and I haven't eaten as I want this done. But let me try to offer a little bit more of my story/advice briefly. I may edit this little section if I think of something later:
AGP doesn't have to be a curse. I actually believe that if it's compartmentalized effectively, you have an advantage over other guys when it comes to reading a woman, and knowing what she wants - especially sexually.
self-awareness, discipline, willpower...these things reign supreme. You control a lot more than you think you do.
I've been completely content since those fateful therapy sessions and subsequent life decisions, no hidden rage or envy. I am almost never affected by anxiety or depression
these 2 years have been the best of my life, even though I had temporarily repressed blindly in the past. Considering I had still been engaging the AGP fantasies back then, it's no wonder something ate at me underneath it all, even in successful repression.
Alright, that's it for me. Hope this helps someone, even slightly. There are likely spelling errors, repetition, and/or missing links/holes in the story throughout...I am not proofreading this right now, but feel free to point anything out or question anything I've written, of course. I'll edit where necessary. Open to all questions and am always available to talk about this very lonely condition, in public or private if you prefer. Stay strong...you are not alone.
This research was offered for $2k guaranteeing that 2 of the 6 stocks would reach $10 in a year or it was free. I didn't pay for it, rather just tried to figure out the companies from the transcript below. MMED is one of the 6 for sure. See if you can figure them out. I believe this was offered in Sept so the current prices are obviously off. Have fun! What I’m about to tell you may sound like science fiction... Yet what’s contained in this eyedropper... Is so powerful... The $8 TRILLION healthcare industry is on fire. A single dose of what I’m holding... could change everything we know about the human brain. Dr Robin Carhart-Harris, head of psychedelic research at Imperial College London, said... What it was derived from... is truly miraculous. Not quite plant... Not quite living organism... A rare hybrid species I’ll tell you more about later on. But from this hybrid species, scientists have discovered a chemical compound... one that’s able to be grown in labs... 100% naturally, without interfering with nature. The billionaires backing this research... like Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary... and PayPal’s Peter Thiel... are CONVINCED it’s going to be one of the greatest investments of their career. To the doctors in the lab... it must seem like the next step of human evolution! I call it “Living Medicine” because the atoms in this substance are truly ALIVE and could be capable of unimaginable regenerative properties. And if the early findings are correct... Living Medicine could be as transformative to our society as penicillin, which single-handedly fixed many serious health conditions. That was making history THEN... What you’re looking at is making history NOW... It’s about to smash every record and scientific development we’ve seen. Come with me now... inside the human brain. All of our research shows... our brain loses its strength... its elasticity... That means memory... motor functions... they get worse as we age. You may have noticed this yourself with older friends or family. Now watch... In time, it may be possible to stimulate growth for those brain cells and rebuild... In time, it may be possible to stimulate growth for those brain cells and rebuild... perhaps even stronger than before. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg... Imagine depression gone... forever. Clinical trials conducted by NYU and Johns Hopkins found it helped cancer patients cure their depression within a single dose. More research shows it could help completely reverse the battle-induced PTSD for our soldiers. 80% of smokers quit after one single dose! Now researchers testing it on alcoholism. Another study by 60 Minutes found it’s nonaddictive. I want to be clear, I’m NOT talking about marijuana or CBD right now. What is in this eyedropper is NOT marijuana or CBD. Rather, it is a one-of-a-kind substance called “psilocybin.” This is found ONLY in the unique hybrid species I’m going to show you. And while this is still in trial research periods, I believe this Living Medicine is at the forefront of EVERYTHING that’s going to accelerate brain science in the next 10 years. I’m absolutely certain of it. And I’m not the only one who thinks this! Peter Thiel, founder of PayPal... Palantir... and Founders Fund. One of Forbes’ 1,000 RICHEST men on the planet. He’s completely backing this industry and one of its leading companies. And he knows people are going to call him crazy... He recently said... This opportunity is the most hidden breakthrough I’ve ever seen. With the track record Peter Thiel has... wouldn’t you want to get in alongside him in this new industry? Then there’s Christian Angermayer... the hedge fund LEGEND with $365 million in assets. He’s getting in with his buddy Peter Thiel. Same with hedge guru Michael Novogratz and his $250 MILLION fund! He’s also a ground-floor investor. You know who else is getting in? Kevin O’Leary from Shark Tank. He’s betting big on Living Medicine as well – recently getting in on a $6 MILLION round of funding. All of this activity among famous billionaires has alerted the attention of investigative reporters. I’ve known about this alongside these billionaires for years. I’ve been preparing for this EXACT moment. When the companies finally see promise to emerge from the trial stage... and prepare for the moment that all of what I’m about to tell you goes mainstream. Until now, they’ve seen explosive growth... but they’ve been too small for me to recommend to 150,000 Oxford Club Members. But now, Living Medicine is like a giant awakening from slumber. The market is projected to grow at an annual rate of 16.3% over the next eight years to reach $6.85 billion by 2027, according to Data Bridge Market Research. We’re talking massive growth over time! And while a lot of these stocks are still in their earliest and most volatile phase... The gains can be absolutely breathtaking when you find the one. As with any stocks in a new sector, there are those that won’t make it and will end up in the dustbin of history. But the stocks that DO MAKE it have massive upside potential. Just look what’s been happening to the BEST Living Medicine Stocks we pulled to show you from the market. Captiva Verde... this company was $0.20 coming out of the Corona Crash in April... And still, even the WORST crash in financial history couldn’t keep this stock down... Yet not a shred of media coverage. That’s how hidden from the outside this is, just like Peter Thiel said... Imagine once it goes mainstream. As the sector grows at that double-digit rate I mentioned to you before... We could continue to see opportunities for incredible gains! Sure, some of these stocks aren’t going to make it – this is a “swing for the fences”-type investment. So I do NOT recommend you invest more than you can lose. But when you get it right on Living Medicine stocks... the gains can be more than enough to make up for any setbacks. Look at a stock like Revive Therapeutics. This stock was a PENNY in December 2019. A penny! Meaning you don’t have to invest much and risk it – a little capital goes a LONG WAY with these. On May 26, 2020, Revive opened at a high of $0.27. A 2,600% gain in six months. 📷 One more, just because I’m excited for you... And I’m thrilled I finally get to put this in the hands of our Members... This is going to be an extraordinary example... and I can’t promise these kind of results. But this is the kind of grand slam I’m hoping to find for you! And it also shows you the power of these stocks... and how a small investment can change your life forever... For $1,500, you could have bought 100,000 shares of the stock. And that $1,500 flyer... Would have turned into a MASSIVE payday as the stock moved closer to $0.99. Now, would you have to be lucky? You bet. And have exceptional timing? Of course. Stocks like Ehave are rare. And other penny stocks drop to zero. BUT... This is the power of investing in a brand-new market like Living Medicine. And this is why I want everyone to know about it NOW, when it’s in the beginning stages and the profit potential is the BIGGEST. When you can put in $500 or $1,000... and see life-changing results. And not risk a lot of capital if a stock doesn’t work out. Up until now, I’ve been anxiously waiting because these Living Medicine stocks were too small for our hundreds of thousands of Members to get into. When they were just a penny I couldn’t do it. These companies weren’t even off the ground yet. The risk would have been too great. And while small caps can still be volatile... the upside potential here is too good to pass up. Because make no mistake... we are now at a tipping point, which is why your timing couldn’t be better. Living Medicine therapies could go completely mainstream as soon as 2021 according to two independent sources. And the six stocks I’ve found... all of which specialize in this... sell for $2 a share on average. Then again, it’s often been said that neuroscience is in its infancy. We know more about the moons of Jupiter than our own brain! That’s all about to change in the next few months... when these six tiny companies take the $8 TRILLION medical world by storm. Only the true ground-floor guys know about this. The REAL silicon valley power players like Peter Thiel. The REAL shark tank investors like Kevin O’Leary. I want you to get in now... when a small grubstake in Living Medicine... over time... could be one of the greatest investments you EVER make. I’ve put together a special report on the BEST companies in the world creating this Living Medicine. There are only six I would touch if I were you. And they’re still at the absolute cheapest – they’re all $2 or less on average. Some are selling for just $0.20! I predict these stocks will soon be trading for $10 or higher! These six companies have the most sizable advantage from my analysis. And they have the lion’s share of this discovery and this market in their grasp. Imagine the gains you could be sitting on all because you knew about this ONLY when the smart money billionaires knew about it. I am going to show you how to claim the Living Medicine report that reveals ALL the companies DURING this presentation. So if you click out and leave, you’ll get nothing. Your profit opportunity will likely go to someone else. But if we move quickly... I think we can play this situation just as we’ve done before with NEW and EXCITING investment trends. My early recommendations from another service gave my readers the chance to TRIPLE their money in six months on Canopy Growth – one of the biggest names in the biz... And DOUBLE their money on Aphria Growth in four months’ time. Those successes were a big part of the lead-up to launching our research today... and having something at The Oxford Club completely dedicated to blazing new trails and investing in new trends. But since 2017, as you may know, marijuana has gone into a steep bear market. The marijuana index as a whole is down almost 69%! As a result, our track record is negative, and our average position is down 9.9%. I hate losing money, but that is the nature of the markets sometimes. But in my view, when something goes against you, you don’t just keep following it downward. Marijuana’s fall was a valuable lesson. It reminded us not to risk more than you can afford to lose. And when you have big gains on the table, like we did, take some of them! Let the rest ride and play with house money if you want! It also taught us that it always pays to get in at the beginning, not after everyone else is already talking about an opportunity. BUT... something good also came out of these losses... They’ve allowed me to build an even BETTER system for picking stocks than before. I just closed out another MASSIVE 2,710% partial gain on Sea Ltd. in August of 2020! From a position we held for just four months!! My system is BETTER than ever, and it’s led us straight to this new market. Where the revenues are trending upward. Where EVERYTHING is trending upward! And this new market is one where the billionaires are more excited than ever! And prices will never be cheaper. You can get in with a Shark Tank investor like Kevin O’Leary... for pennies! That’s why I’m telling you about Living Medicine today. It’s the next no-brainer trend... And sources are predicting that by 2021 it could be in treatment and therapy centers, moving out of the clinical trials we’re in now. And by 2027, it could be a $6.8 BILLION industry. We’re talking billions... Yet these companies barely measure in the millions! This is why I feel that NOW is the time to get into these stocks – or you’ll regret it forever. This is the breakthrough moment for investors, which is why the billionaires are going all-in. For the past two years, I’ve been waiting for this trend to hit the mainstream. Waiting to replicate these kinds of results yet again in order to lift our track record to FAR outperform anything we’ve done in the past! I’m hot on the heels of Shark Tank investors and other famous investors... yet as far as I know, I’m the ONLY person who knows about these six stocks! As for the profit potential... You could be looking at the chance to turn a couple hundred bucks into major money! For Starters, on Average ALL OF MY Stocks Are Still Under $2 For starters... The stocks in my Living Medicine report... Are selling for an average of LESS than two bucks. · One is just $0.10. · Another is $0.20. · Another is $0.43. Meaning they’re tiny, and the biggest gains are ahead of them! Now, there is always risk to investing, and small stocks like this can often be even more volatile. We never recommend you bet the farm on these trades. But when you get it right on these... you don’t have to. I showed you how $1,000 in a Living Medicine stock like Ehave turned into nearly six figures. That’s why I actually recommend sprinkling just a little into each stock. That way you ensure yourself the best chance at success without putting down too much! And a little bit goes a long way when my six stocks are priced between just a few cents and just a few bucks... 📷 With small stocks like these, we expect some losers along the way. But here’s the thing... If our best-case scenario plays out... And we find that play that makes you 1,000% on your money... It will NOT matter if you struck out once or twice along the way, or even if the losers are more frequent than the winners. All it takes is one big winner when you get in on these trends before everyone else. The billionaires backing Living Medicine know it... That’s why they’ve gotten in now. The FDA knows it... That’s why they gave this treatment a breakthrough therapy designation to expedite the development and review of this treatment.. NOW is the time to get in... I’ve put together a package that shows you exactly what these six stocks are, and I’ve outlined their massive growth potential and profitability. And I’ll reveal something extra to you, too... I’ll show you how to become what’s called a "round lot" investor before these companies grow bigger and bigger. Round lot investors are the highest status of investor. And I’ll show you how you could accumulate hundreds or THOUSANDS of shares for just a few bucks and become one. My report is going to walk you through everything. And you can open it on your phone, iPad, computer... whatever you want. I will show you how to get my report on the six Living Medicine stocks and more in a moment, but first... Let me finally tell you what this revolutionary discovery is made of. Because Living Medicine treatment is like nothing else on Earth... It’s funny how the world’s greatest medical breakthroughs can hide in plain sight! But it’s truly phenomenal... no other species of plant has this chemical in it. Literally NOTHING. And what’s truly remarkable about this species... is that it’s not quite plant... not quite animal. It’s a rare combination hybrid. Which may be why it’s been holding these secrets right under our noses! The good news is... scientists have found a way to grow living medicine rapidly in a lab, so there’s no need to wait for nature to produce this miracle substance – that’s a benefit not even marijuana can boast! And you can decide how to take it. In a powder, packed into a small capsule, sometimes only 475 micrograms. You can dissolve the powder into tea or liquid if you don’t prefer to swallow something – which plenty of people do. Or you can just drop a little eyedropper under your tongue. A cancer patient revealed to one Colorado news outlet that vials as small as this size contain more than a YEAR’S supply to medicate pain. A small powder or liquid. That’s it. That’s all it takes for Living Medicine to go to work on your body and potentially help treat you within a single dose. And that’s confirmed by CNN as they interviewed doctors at NYU. But here’s what’s TRULY revolutionary. It could help rewire and stimulate growth in parts of your brain. You probably know that, as we age, we become forgetful. We can’t possibly remember every nugget of information. Basically our brains lose a couple of horsepower with each passing year. Living Medicine could help reverse that. Think of your brain like this... before and after Living Medicine... One of these images looks like it has a few pathways... The other looks like a neural superhighway. Studies on this are still in their infancy... but neuroscience itself is in its infancy! It is said we know more about our solar system... than what is inside our own skull. But Living Medicine is the tip of the sword when it comes to neuroscience advancement. This could be the ANSWER neuroscientists have been looking for. How to re-awaken those long-lost parts of the brain! This potential of stimulating growth of brain cells is why everyone is simply astounded by Living Medicine. Now let me tell you a little bit about the chemistry behind it. According to the DPA, the Drug Policy Alliance... The main active ingredient in Living Medicine.... psilocybin... “Is not considered to be addictive, nor does it cause compulsive use.” Johns Hopkins University determined the same thing, citing on its website... “Research shows that the drug has low potential for abuse and dependence.” Unlike narcotics... Or pharmaceutical pills that become addictive... Or even the folks who enjoy marijuana a little too much... That’s NOT the case with this Living Medicine. It really can offer the best possible treatment with the fewest possible side effects. Think of those affected by Alzheimer’s, PTSD, depression and the countless brain disorders out there. The number is in the hundreds of millions according to the World Health Organization. Hundreds of millions... that’s a lot of people this could help, right? So let me give you a glimmer of the profit potential here... Because I know I just explained a LOT of science and numbers here... Let’s take a look at a marijuana pharmaceutical stock that made a similar treatment, but only for people suffering from two rare forms of seizures or epilepsy. Only about 3 1/2 million folks have epilepsy here in the states. That is a fraction of the patient base that Living Medicine could help. Now, this was also the FDA’s FIRST-EVER drug derived from cannabidiol. So, even though it was a much smaller market, this treatment was a TRUE ground-floor opportunity, just like Living Medicine. It was a breakthrough! Just like Living Medicine. This is not one I recommended. At its low, this stock went from $8 and change... to peaks of more than $124 over time. A 1,450% gain. 14X gains! And consider, this company’s claim to fame is making a product for just 3 1/2 million people... Now consider... If Living Medicine’s research continues to show positive results, someday it could treat 300 million people worldwide with depression. And here in the States... · 5.2 million Americans with PTSD · 5 million people with dementia and Alzheimer’s. · 38 million smokers. · 8.1 million alcoholics. I think 14x gains like GW Pharmaceuticals could be small potatoes. Remember, that stock was $8. And its treatment was for a FRACTION of that patient base. The stocks I’m going to send you in my Living Medicine report are on average $2 per share. If any one of these six companies follows the same trajectory as GW Pharmaceuticals... we could snag one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for ourselves! And that rare and extraordinary chance is WORTH taking! That’s why the billionaires are plowing their money into it. And it’s why Fortune magazine recently published an article begging the question, “Is this Silicon Valley’s next big bet?” I’m telling you, it is! This is an incredible time to get in on the ground floor. When the billionaires like Peter Thiel and his buddies are moving in. THE BILLIONAIRES ARE MOVING IN Remember, Peter Thiel was in early on Facebook, SpaceX, Airbnb and Lyft. He’s worth more than $2.3 billion because he knows how to spot a new market. And he’s one of the first people moving in on Living Medicine. Or how about this... do you ever watch Shark Tank or know about it? Mr. Wonderful, millionaire Kevin O Leary, is moving in on this. And you know how tough he is to get to invest on the show! One of the – if not THE – TOUGHEST people to convince. And yet, he is going all-in according to the reports. In fact, he’s behind one of the six companies I’m going to tell you about today. So don’t get up from your chair or click out of this video – you’re literally going to get the details Mr. Wonderful invested $6.2 million to find out! He’s not the only one... Tim Ferriss, bestselling author and entrepreneur and worth a whopping $110 million, is also getting in on this trend. Meanwhile, every scientist and doctor in the lab is utterly fascinated by it. In fact, as researchers dug deeper and deeper into the origins of Living Medicine... They actually found ancient medical texts referencing it... They found it’s quietly been used by cultures for hundreds of years! Throughout History Cultures Have Used This Living Medicine... in More Archaic Ways Now... many of the world’s best medicines were actually used throughout history before they were fully understood by scientists. Take aspirin... It comes from the Willow plant. And its first documented use dates back to the ancient Egyptians as an anti-inflammatory and pain reliever. The Greeks used it too. Hippocrates, of the Hippocractic oath fame, used Willow tea to ease the pain of childbirth. But it wasn’t until 1897, when German chemist Felix Hoffmann discovered the actual compound for aspirin, that it took off as a modern medicine. Today, 40,000 tons of aspirin are produced annually... generating hundreds of millions in profits every year. Living Medicine is likely to have a similar story because it’s a natural and effective medicine. And its use also dates back to ancient peoples. Celtic Druids called it the “Flesh of the Gods” because of its mental-boosting attributes. Egyptians reserved the source of the Living Medicine EXCLUSIVELY for royalty. Because they believed it increased longevity, even by their very archaic standards! The ancient Chinese also knew about it... Forms of Living Medicine were even documented as early as 29th century B.C. in The Divine Farmer’s Materia Medica. They didn’t have the kind of technology or capabilities we have today. But we’ve seen time and time again that old knowledge can have transformative modern applications. Even as recently as 1928... LESS than 100 years ago... Nobody realized the mold from an old orange... would become instrumental in developing penicillin... until Alexander Fleming thought to put it under a microscope. The SAME story is playing out with Living Medicine. It’s untapped potential has sat for centuries... Millennia... Until now. And that’s why the smart money and billionaires are so excited. And why I am excited to get you the details on the stocks cornering the market for Living Medicine. Remember, for less than $2 per share on these companies, we can get shoulder-to-shoulder with billionaires on the BIGGEST trend happening in medicine. Living Medicine Is About to Go Mainstream I wouldn’t even be wasting your time right now... If I didn’t think this was going to go completely mainstream in the weeks and months ahead. I mentioned before the FDA has given Living Medicine BREAKTHROUGH STATUS. But that’s not all. Across the country, on a state-by-state basis... New bills are being written to start moving to allow folks to have Living Medicine. From the West Coast and California... to the midlands like Colorado... to the southwest of New Mexico... it’s spreading everywhere like wildfire. For instance... A program called “Initiative 301” in Colorado was signed into effect late in 2019... The proposal received more than 89,320 VOTES. And with that historic vote... Initiative 301 was signed into law! These laws are paving the way for this new treatment as Living Medicine gets the necessary greenlights from the FDA and the government But Colorado isn’t the only one! Just a month later, California followed suit. New Mexico has almost completely given the greenlight, and they’re ready to go. The FDA has also allowed doctors in Texas to start researching... Oregon is in the process of starting a program as well! As are the researchers I told you about at Johns Hopkins in Maryland... And Florida’s getting on board – with half a million people with Alzheimer’s in the Sunshine State, this could be huge for the state! It’s spreading rapid-fire across the country and for good reason. The mental health crisis... is estimated to cost the world $16 TRILLION in the next 10 years. We are DESPERATE for something that can help treat chronic pain, pill addiction, depression, PTSD and these debilitating diseases of the mind. To me, the writing is on the wall... If these states can get their best scientists... Their best schools... Their best doctors... Their best state legislators... All working toward the SAME goal... I think it’s obvious... The main companies in this space are going to reward shareholders with once-in-a-lifetime gains. Millions of folks are going to finally start catching on in 2020... It’s about to hit that breakout moment. When folks start talking about it like they do their favorite show on Netflix. That tipping-point moment... when regular folks in the mainstream start asking... how do I invest in this? And I think these stocks are going to SKYROCKET over time. Which is why I want you to know about them now. And why I want to send you my report on Living Medicine which reveals the stocks. Because this is the moment... It could feel like watching the same movie twice. You know how it’s going to end. Just like when cryptocurrency got popular... just like when marijuana stocks got popular. This is when a mega-trend emerges from the shadows. My expertise is on finding new investment markets as they develop. I’m quite literally the Chief Trends Strategist at The Oxford Club, with more than 100,000 Members counting on me to find it before everyone else. And I think this Living Medicine is going to create the third new booming market of the past decade. Think for a second... Five years ago, people thought you were smoking pot if you told them about marijuana stocks. Ten years ago, nobody knew what a cryptocurrency was. People looked at you like you were insane. Trading paper money... for digital money? That’s how it always is. Peter Thiel, Michael Novogratz and Christian Angermayer all jumped into crypto very early. Now these same guys are doing it again with Living Medicine. They’re pushing their chips back into the middle of the table... Novogratz recently told Bloomberg reporters, “It just feels like a cultural shift is going on.” And he’s absolutely right. A shift is going on. This is a HUGE moment in our culture when folks get introduced to Living Medicine. When hundreds of millions of people worldwide have their lives changed. It’s a before-and-after moment for all of humanity, just like penicillin or aspirin. Kevin O’Leary, the famous Shark Tank investor, said this about Living Medicine: “As an investor, I am attracted to [This Living Medicine Company] because they are solving health problems through federally authorized clinical trials.” But here’s what I REALLY love about Living Medicine compared with cryptocurrencies or pot stocks or other trends I saw... Living Medicine can actually SOLVE the problems we are facing eventually. Sure, crypto might one day have a clear purpose. We’re still waiting for when that day will come. And medical marijuana is helping a LOT of people. But I told you those stories only to show you the power of early adoption... And how it pays to get in early with the smart money. Now here’s why Living Medicine is so much better than those short-lived trends... The companies creating this Living Medicine are working to help thousands of people right now with chronic pain, depression, brain function and more. This is a LONG-term trend that will only get bigger. This is a $34 BILLION potential market... and the companies I’m sharing with you have market caps in the mere millions. They could grow 10... 20... 50 times in size and still have room to go. They could grow 1,000 TIMES in size... and still be worth only a billion. And the most breathtaking part of it is... You can get in for an average of $2 a share on these companies I’m going to show you. More than that... You get to be a part of history and helping people. Veterans with PTSD... Cancer patients with depression... Alzheimer’s patients who have trouble remembering their friends and family. This is a chance to actually do some good in the world by backing these companies as they explode in value. Living Medicine can help countless people within a single dose. Get this... 80% of smokers who took Living Medicine... were able to quit the habit cold turkey within three doses. This stuff is UBER-powerful. Which is why an eyedropper of this Living Medicine could rewrite history books and medical journals on treatment. It’s kind of how medical marijuana played out for investors... Remember when they started realizing marijuana could treat disorders? And it suddenly blew up? From Parkinson’s... To helping folks who abused prescriptions... That’s why when you look back at history, you see how the companies that were FIRST to try this revolutionary idea... were rewarded handsomely... Abattis Pharmaceuticals launched from $0.03 to $2.21. That’s a peak gain of 7,226% in three months’ time! If you had been lucky enough to time it perfectly, it could have turned $500 into more than $36,000! Sure, plenty of marijuana stocks were busts. But I can’t even count how many weed stocks blasted off back then, when it was still a brand-new industry. That’s why I think it’s important to at least give yourself a chance here with a small investment. Yes, you could lose it. But the potential reward is so big that in my opinion, it is well worth it. Ask yourself... Do you want to get in on an opportunity like those again? An opportunity accepted by billionaires and the people pouring money into it? The medical professionals testing it? The FDA giving it breakthrough therapy status? That’s what’s in front of you right now. Living Medicine is the FUTURE! Now, I said before that I love this development because it can actually HELP people. More and More Research Is Coming Out... Living Medicine Is the Next Big Thing! When something starts to become big, everyone acts like they have a hand in it. Every company suddenly latches onto the trend, even if they aren’t in on it! That’s why you can’t just pick a Living Medicine company all willy-nilly. But I think these stocks... All at an average under $2 a share... Represent the best opportunity in this space. And don’t worry, you do NOT need to be a private accredited investor like Peter Thiel and his buddies to get in on these Living Medicine companies. I’ve identified the only publicly traded ones investors should be looking at. Bloomberg reported on February 11, 2020, “Move over pot. [Living Medicine] companies are about to go public.” MarketWatch expects the IPO market at large to “crank into high gear.” And I can’t help but think it’s because of this MASSIVE new development... Green Entrepreneur published a report saying... “[Living Medicines] are following a similar trajectory to cannabis – and investors are taking notice.” Remember the tech boom, when companies like this would IPO nonstop, and it lifted the well-established companies EVEN HIGHER? You’re watching the same show twice... You should know what’s going to happen. It’s a telltale sign this market is about to enter its next massive growth phase. Let Me Detail the ONLY Publicly Traded Companies Worth Looking at... Trading Under $2 on Average The first company sells for less than a quarter. It just inked a $500,000 deal with another group that wants the right to grow Living Medicine here in the United States. It actually has a proprietary extraction technology it first perfected in the hemp industry. It’s a proven system, something I love to see. And now it’s applying its extraction technique to Living Medicine. A few more bullet points that come from my own analysis include... · Its majority-owned subsidiary just completed the design for a preclinical study for using Living Medicine for weight loss and food craving. Obesity is a global epidemic killing 2.8 million people each year. · The company has more than 200 wellness formulas in various stages of commercialization with 14 patent applications filed. · The company currently has retail operations in three countries but plans to expand to 12 more. · The global wellness market is a $4.2 trillion opportunity. · The company’s management team includes people who cut their teeth at Johnson & Johnson and Procter & Gamble as well as Skechers and Aritzia. This, to me, legitimizes this company BIG-time. My Second Living Medicine Company... The second company is testing easy-to-use Living Medicine drops... Now, I told you before you could get in with a Shark Tank investor... Mr. Wonderful is an investor in this company. He was part of a $6 MILLION investing round. And shares are just $0.44. As if that wasn’t reason enough to get excited... On the board of directors is none other than legendary Bruce Linton, who took Canopy Growth to the mainstream. That stock launched to $50 at its peak! Imagine what this Living Medicine stock could do with Bruce at the wheel again. Even if this stock went to only HALF that – $25 a share – that would be a 5,581% increase! Of course, we’re going to have to time it just right and nothing is guaranteed in investing... but we’re swinging for the fences, and we’ve already got Mr. Wonderful on third base! My Third Living Medicine Company The third company is just a buck and change. Thirty percent of shares are held by insiders – a great sign! Yet just 1.7% of institutions know about this.... It’s on only 1.7% of banks’ radars. And here is what has me on the edge of my seat... As I mentioned before, the billionaires and hedge fund guys are among the ONLY ones who know about Living Medicine... And they’re certainly going to do whatever it takes to profit from it. You better believe when this company gets discovered by the other institutions and ownership increases, it’s going to send the share price even higher! This is what I mean when I say NOW is the time to get in... when the gains are set up to be the easiest... when the shares are this cheap! And that brings me to the next breakout company I’ve identified... My Fourth Living Medicine Stock Is Near and Dear to Me... The cool thing is... this was one of the FIRST companies I ever found dabbling with Living Medicine. It kind of sent me down this journey. It’s the $5 stock I told you about. But while this one might cost a little more, I think it’s well worth it. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this company reported record revenue of $33 million, an increase of 152%. And this was its 10th consecutive quarter of record revenue. So these guys are hanging in there while countless businesses are closing up shop forever. That’s what you want, a company that can weather the storm! It also has a partnership with the blue chip company 3M, further legitimizing this company’s product. In my opinion, this is one of the most solid companies in the space. This Fifth Living Medicine Company Is Off the Charts! My fifth company is expanding globally and growing its operations. It’s based in Canada but now has operations in Australia and Malaysia. This is pivotal because you want those companies that are capturing global markets, not just here in the States. We forget that there are billions of people out there with the same problems as the 300 or so million Americans in our country. It’s a BIG global market, and these guys are chasing it down. The CEO of this company has 15 years of pharmaceutical experience, including a division of Johnson & Johnson. Best of all, shares are less than two bucks on this company. My Sixth and Final Living Medicine Company My sixth and final Living Medicine stock is also a sub-$2 opportunity. But I’ve saved this one for last for a very important reason. It just completed a massive acquisition of a fellow company. And with this acquisition, it gets the RIGHT to three separate Phase 1 trials and a preclinical trial. This is a HUGE advantage out of the gate – securing the right to try a medicine. It also secures this company a partnership with InterVivo Solutions, Canada’s largest neuroscience-focused preclinical contract research organization. As I’ve told you today, Living Medicine is considered a breakthrough therapy by the FDA – that’s a very high status designation. And this company already has the right to trials for its medicine. That’s like getting a 30-second head start in a foot race. You can’t beat that advantage. The bottom line is... I really think this company, along with the other five I just told you about, is the best of the best. And Living Medicine is the single most powerful investment I’ve ever seen. I’ve put together a report called “Living Medicine: The Next Big Thing” that will show you the ticker symbols, the growth potential and the massive industry at the fingertips of these six stocks. I also mentioned I’ll show you how to buy “round lots.” Showing you how to possibly get hundreds or thousands of shares for just a few hundred bucks. Because that’s the beauty of this research package I’ll be sending you. Even if you put, say, only $500 in these stocks... we’re talking just $3,000 total to get started. And that $3,000 could hand you LIFE-CHANGING results. Even if we’re ULTRA-realistic and we don’t think too greedily... A fraction of gains like that could improve your life. I want to send you this report on all six stocks right now. No waiting!
