Rally On, Traders!
For years now, the hottest consumer story on the planet has been limited by the speed it spreads across the map as state after state (and sometimes whole countries) votes to legalize what’s already a $10 billion product.
A lot of investors have gotten frustrated with the timeline. Some companies have too. It’s part of what makes Upper Street Marketing (OTC:UPPR) so interesting right now making NEWS week by week.
Unlike people who are prisoners of the map and its fluctuations, UPPR is moving fast and confidently (again, check those HEADLINES) to exploit the less controversial side of this industry, which as of now nobody can get hassled for adding to their business plan.
Why is that a big deal? Hint: the “more” controversial side is still so controversial that just mentioning it in the wrong place triggers all kinds of automated alarms even when we aren’t advocating consumption or use.
All we’re doing here is talking about the investment potential of the companies that make the products and sell them in a fully regulated environment. Even so, the alarms have a hair trigger.
But UPPR can sell its products wherever it wants, thanks to the Senate last month. The Farm Bill means “hemp” is fully legal to grow and sell, provided you have the right license. The think tanks have weighed in. It’s law. You can see it in the UPPR NEWS flow.
And it’s still a game changer because even if hemp is the same plant as the state-by-state recreational and medicinal phenomenon, it doesn’t have the same mind-altering chemicals. No high? No fuss, no threat.
As is often the case, the non-sexy side is actually where the big money is. Hemp can do a lot of stuff. Henry Ford made a car out of it back in the 1940s when the war made plastic and metal hard to get. (VIDEO)
Today, renewable hemp crops can theoretically even power that car in the form of biomass fuels. Sustainable, regrowing, endless, lucrative.
Hemp paper, hemp clothing, hemp seed, hemp fiber, hemp plastic. There’s a chemical universe locked up in this plant that was illegal for generations. UPPR is starting at the top of that value chain with products infused with the
essential oil.
Even when this was a legally nebulous zone last year, hemp oil was a $22 BILLION land grab opportunity for companies willing to stake their claim early. The size of that market is a factor of the buzz around health benefits . . . people are eager to try it for pain, inflammation, epilepsy and just about everything else.
The important thing here is that UPPR saw the boom coming and got in big. They have 360 acres ready to go in 2019, which is, you know, NOW. They want to produce 1.8 MILLION pounds of hemp, enough to cook down into 40 TONS of the oil.
As the CEO is telling people, that’s going to be “a very large player, very quickly.” And it’s only the sizzle on top of this story.
The acreage is in Colorado, Mile High stronghold of the other kind of state-legal hemp. That end of the business already brings in millions . . . and if I read this right, production is set to zoom 700% in the near term.
UPPR is also funding a Colorado Springs retail outlet. Revenue there tracks $720k a year now, projected to turn into $1.2 million a MONTH in the next two years. Not a bad chunk of change, plus it’s the kind of deal that management can clone.
What’s happening there is UPPR puts up $1.7 million in credit as a backstop. They share their expertise . . . advanced grow technology, hydroponics and irrigation systems, the kind of thing any farm-to-consumer operation covets.
They get something out of it. We’ll find out what. In the meantime, it’s a demonstration of the company’s widening footprint in the space.
And speaking of widening footprints, keep the hemp map in mind. On the other side, progress has sometimes been fast and sometimes the federal government has slammed the brakes, taking the stocks with it . . . after all, the state-by-state end of the industry is still technically prohibited.
Sure, the guy currently up for Attorney General says he won’t chase people operating legally on their own turf. But he doesn’t back legalization either. And remember how much trouble the LAST guy became when he threatened to enforce federal law across state lines.
But hemp is enshrined in the federal Farm Bill, from sea to sea. You can’t put that genie back in the bottle without a lot of heavy lifting I don’t think Congress can handle right now.
Ever want a more stable play on the green theme? Hemp is now it. All the progress, none of the backsliding or the dithering. And UPPR is right there in the thick of it.
Let me show you the Big Three charts in this space and then I’ll show you UPPR. Here’s the usual suspects, all trading alike, up a lot and then down:
And here’s UPPR. Down with the rest of the market over the summer. And now the trend has been UP UP UP. Multi-bag action making buy-and-hold types happy throughout the trailing year, no matter where they came in:
If you want to invest in the Green World, you can go with your favorite sizzle and take your chances on the map staying open. Or you can go with something superficially quieter . . . but the regulatory framework is now a done deal.
Check those charts again. Which has been an easier ride? And which one has open sky to work with now?
