But its main stock listing is in Canada\u2026 not the United States; very much offer the radar.<\/p>\n<p>The OTC listing for Plus Products Inc. only took place on January 24, 2019 \u2013 so it was more difficult for a huge group of US investors to look at the company until just last week.<\/p>\n<p>What you are reading today is the \u201c<em>coming out party<\/em>\u201d for Plus Products Inc. in terms of market awareness.<br \/>\nAnd it\u2019s perfect timing, as business performance is rocking.<\/p>\n<p>Plus Products Inc. has been knocking it out of the park\u2026 in exactly the same manner that JUUL did on its way to become a $38 billion company. Plus Products Inc. has been taking cannabis edibles market share at a staggering rate.<\/p>\n<p>This is not my opinion. These are verifiable facts by the top two cannabis market research firms \u2013\u00a0<em>BDC Analytics<\/em> and <em>Headset<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>California is \u2013 far and away\u00a0\u2013 the largest and most important market for cannabis at this point. Everyone knows that cannabis will be legalized everywhere eventually, but for now California is the most important market by a mile.<\/p>\n<p>In Q2 17, Plus Products was ranked #43 in California and had less than one-half of one percent share of the edible cannabis product market.<\/p>\n<p>Barely 12 months later \u2013 by Q3 18 \u2013 Plus Products became ranked #1 in California and has increased its market share by 24 times now with 9.89 percent of the crucial California market. Revenue is at a $10 million run rate now and growing every month. And The Big News is \u2013 they\u2019re about to go into more states.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to me \u2013 how and why that happened:\u00a0<em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">It happened organically, with almost NO marketing<\/span><\/em>&#8211;to become #1 in the #1 Market in the world right now!\u00a0 It\u2019s all about the quality and consistency of the product, and the logistics behind making sure it\u2019s on every shelf on every store possible. Their edible products have an incredibly consistent dosage, much tighter than what the law says is necessary. Good product, good business execution.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oilandgas-investments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31100\" alt=\"3\" src=\"https:\/\/oilandgas-investments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/3.jpg\" width=\"750\" height=\"436\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Take a look at the chart above which shows what Tiger Global-backed Plus Products has done in just over a year in California\u2026 then look back at the chart that I showed you earlier with the incredible growth in market share that Tiger Global backed JUUL was able to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>Growth that took JUUL from no market share to being worth $38 billion in 40 months.<\/p>\n<p>This is no coincidence and I can assure you of one thing\u2026 Tiger Global didn\u2019t put invest Big Money into Plus Products without feeling very confident that it could be built into another multi-billion dollar, <em>dominant<\/em> business.<\/p>\n<p>Plus Products is now getting ready to expand outside California. I think this will be the biggest growth story in the sector in the next 18 months. And one of their largest backers has done it all before \u2013 grown something from zero to a $38 billion dollar company in just 40 months.<\/p>\n<p><em>This stock has only 40 million shares out\u2026 meaning this could be a HUGE winner if management executes like Tiger Global thinks they can.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>One Or Two Brands Will Control\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000;\"> <strong>The Entire Cannabis Opportunity<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>There is no better investment than a dominant consumer brand.<\/p>\n<p>Just ask Warren Buffett who built his $90 billion fortune by owning the dominant consumer brands of Coca-Cola, American Express and Gillette.<\/p>\n<p>A brand name is the most valuable asset a retailer has because it lends credibility to product quality\u2026 consumers know what they can expect when they buy that brand name product.<\/p>\n<p>As consumers we buy <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Coke<\/strong><\/span> or <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Pepsi<\/strong><\/span> because we know that we like it; the same thing for <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>McDonalds<\/strong><\/span> or <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Wendy\u2019s<\/strong><\/span>. Every retail market ends up being dominated by a few powerful brands.<\/p>\n<p>As I\u2019m sure you can imagine\u2026 for a product like an E-Cigarette or edible cannabis\u00a0\u00a0\u2013 being able to trust the quality and safety of the product you are buying is\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">even more important<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>That is a big reason why JUUL was able to lock down a 75%market share. That is why the opportunity for Plus Products to do the same in cannabis is so very real\u2026 and in fact is already happening.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that it is going to be easier for Plus Products to dominate cannabis than it was for JUUL to dominate E-Cigarettes. Everything that Tiger Global built and learned with JUUL in E-Cigarettes is directly transferable to Plus Products and cannabis.<\/p>\n<p>This gives Plus Products a huge advantage with marketing, distribution, manufacturing, talent, financing\u2026 you name it, Plus Products has the edge. Having a multi-billion dollar hedge fund titan behind Plus Products is an incredible advantage.<\/p>\n<p>You can see that advantage in how fast the Plus Products brands are taking market share.<\/p>\n<p>Plus Products has almost US$20 million cash and has zero dollars of debt. Sales and revenue are increasing every month. They\u2019re about to start expanding into several new states. Insiders are aligned and own a boatload full of shares\u2026 and so do I.<\/p>\n<p>Tiger Global isn\u2019t invested in Plus Products to build a nice little business. Tiger Global is invested here to\u00a0<em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">build another multi-billion dollar business<\/span><\/em>. And there\u2019s only 40 million shares out.<\/p>\n<p>I think my timing is excellent \u2013 right on the cusp of a major expansion, after already being #1 in the biggest market in the world right now. Whoever wins the California cannabis market could win the world\u2026 and Plus Products is already #1 and increasing that market share at an incredible clip.<\/p>\n<p>With a big expansion plan on the immediate horizon, I expect this company to do\u00a0<em>very very<\/em> well in 2019 and 2020.<\/p>\n<p>DISCLOSURE\u2014I am very long Plus Products Inc.<\/p>\n<p><em>Keith Schaefer<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"tf_1\" style=\"position:absolute;width:120px;height:9px;overflow:hidden;\">\n<h1 style=\"font-size:10px;\"><br class=\"tf_2\" \/><br class=\"tf_2\" \/>[[T_F]]<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tracefusion.com\/\">Data Leak Prevention &#8211; Data Security Solutions &#8211; Information Theft Protection, Detection and Prevention Software Products<\/a>tracefusion_signature=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[[T_F]]<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><small>Copyright &copy; 2011<br \/> This feed is for personal, non-commercial use only. <br \/> The use of this feed on other websites breaches copyright unless you have written permission from Keith Schaefer of Oil and Gas bulletin to republish.
