Rally On, Traders!
Sometimes the biggest market catalysts are buried deep in the fine print below the headlines. For example, if you think it's hard to get excited about something so boring as the 800-page Farm Bill, you'd be wrong. Down in the footnotes starting around page 347 Congress starts talking about legitimizing a crop that's effectively been banned since the 1940s.
The think tanks and lawyers are already weighing in. Yes, it looks like this plant and its non-psychoactive industrial byproducts are legal again across the map. Entrepreneurs say it's going to kick off a $22 billion
boom, a bona fide gold rush.
And in that kind of rush, companies like Upper Street Marketing (OTC:UPPR) have the home court advantage . . . especially after the latest NEWS. That oil extraction deal is big. It opens up food supplement markets, pet food opportunities, nutraceuticals, herbal remedies. Even a new generation of medical products once the clinical process
gets UPPR in front of the regulators.
Note the phrase "application with the FDA" in that link up there. We shouldn't have to say it, but that's a green light FLASHING. Not just state by state. This is a FEDERAL pivot.
Unlike people who are prisoners of the map and its fluctuations, UPPR saw the writing on the wall. State by state deregulation was moving too slow. When it happens, it happens. For now, why not cut out a lot of the hassle and focus on the business that Congress just legalized?
Remember, we aren't urging you to explore the products themselves. That's between you and your own consumption patterns. We're talking to you as an investor looking for interesting companies that might be worth your participation. If the companies succeed, presumably shareholders will share in that story.
From what we can see, UPPR has what it takes to deliver transformative levels of success. After all, it's still just a start-up, under $1 per share at this stage in its evolution. Market cap is barely $27 million as I write this.
What more do you expect? That farm bill just got signed back in December and the $22 billion market is still up for grabs. It's anybody's game and everybody with their eyes open can still grab a slice of the pie. Maybe UPPR can grab 1% of $22 billion and that's a breathtaking 8X current market cap. Maybe just 0.1% and its price to sales ratio drops to near par.
Giants like Tilray are supporting sales multiples in the 160X zone. To even compare with that, little UPPR would only need to bring in $138,000 this year, which is 0.0006% of the $22 billion market. That's all. For every $1 million people are projected to spend here, if UPPR can capture a mere $6 it's on track with Tilray.
Anything more and . . . I don't need to tell you the way multiple expansion works. Keep in mind that this is the industrial end of the plant. No mind-altering effects. Just natural molecules and nutrients.
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.
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?
