At first blush, India Globalization Capital (NYSE: IGC) would seem a curiosity clothed in an enigma. Just how does a NYSE company move from a successful mining orientation to a pioneer in the development of multiple cannabinoid-based pharmaceutical therapies to treat pain and disease? The enigma can be disrobed by looking at the tenacity and vision of its management.
Ram Mukunda has served as Executive Chairman, CEO and President of India Global since inception in 2005. He holds distinguished mathematics and engineering degrees and worked in multiple Wall Street positions for more than 25 years, serving communications firms such as Intelsat SA and Startec. Mukunda actually founded Startec in 1991 to provide VOIP service to emerging economies. As Chairman and CEO of Startec, he led the company to a $60 million public stock offering in 1997. His introduction to the mining industry came a few years later through a company he co-founded, India Globalization Capital. The company mined and converted low-grade iron ore to high-grade ore. Iron ore prices subsequently plummeted nearly 75 percent, putting it below the cost of production. That’s when Mukunda made a difficult decision and charted a course change for the company.
Realizing that the lucrative mining business was bust, he searched for a growth arena to position the company and move forward. He ultimately centered on the burgeoning cannabis industry and the myriad of potential medical benefits. Mukunda and his team realized that there were a lot of untapped uses for cannabinoids and cannabis-based extracts. They recruited a team of highly skilled doctors and patent attorneys, comparing anecdotal stories with scientific evidence and identifying areas where patents had not been filed. This process has yielded results.
The company now has a pipeline of patent pending cannabinoid-based drugs targeting large market maladies, which includes therapeutics for neuropathic pain, human and animal seizures, refractory epilepsy and eating disorders. Several of these therapeutic drugs are scheduled for pre-clinical trials this year. The company is transitioning fast from building research teams and developing a patent portfolio to marketable products.
For the past few years, India Globalization Capital has also focused interest on cannabis-based combination therapies, using cannabis-based extracts in combination with other medications to reduce side effects and increase bioavailability and absorption. As one of the first to enter this space, the company has been building intellectual property around these precepts and expects to reap substantial rewards from this arena.
From mining to medical marijuana would seem an incredible leap, but, when looking at India Global and the leadership of Ram Mukunda, it would be tough to bet against a leader with such tenacity and vision. And with a $12MM market cap, IGC is quite compelling given the valuations attributed to its peers.

AzurRx BioPharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: AZRX) Overcoming Current Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency Treatment Limitations
Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency, or EPI, is a problem in a person’s digestive system. Simply put, EPI is when the pancreas cannot produce enough of the enzymes that the body requires to break down and absorb nutrients. Unfortunately, this means that the body is unable to absorb the right fats and nutrients, often leading to weight loss.
There are a number of causes for EPI, such as inflammation of the pancreas; effects from surgery on the pancreas, intestines, or stomach; or even an inherited disease such as cystic fibrosis, Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, Crohn’s Disease, diabetes, or celiac disease. Symptoms do vary, but normally the patient will feel a pain or tenderness in the abdomen, problems with bowel movements, flatulence, and a feeling of being full.
Today, there has been a rise in the number of people with EPI, and this has been largely attributed to an increase in the number of patients diagnosed with diabetes and cystic fibrosis (CF). According to an article from PR Newswire (http://dtn.fm/uyF9L), there are approximately 70,000 people living with cystic fibrosis worldwide, with 1,000 new cases diagnosed each year. In addition, 50% of children with CF suffer from EPI from the moment they are born.
According to TransparencyMarketReserarch.com (http://dtn.fm/0tvSc), the EPI market is growing at an astronomical rate, and this is not expected to slow, since the number of patients diagnosed with diabetes is expected to grow to approximately 366 million by the end of 2030. PR Newswire reported an anticipated expansion of the market at a CAGR of over 8% between 2015 and 2023, allowing it to reach just under $3 billion.
Unfortunately, despite the expected market growth, current EPI treatments have a number of limitations. Aside from a healthy diet, the current treatment for EPI is Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement Therapy (PERT), but not only are these treatments not very effective, they also show a lack of stability in an acidic environment and carry a high pill burden, which can be highly inconvenient for patients.
Luckily, AzurRx BioPharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: AZRX), a development stage biopharmaceutical company focused on creating treatments for patients suffering from gastrointestinal diseases such as EPI, is currently in Phase IIa of the development of MS1819 lipase, a non-systemic, yeast-derived recombinant enzyme.
This orally-administered capsule is not only showing significant potential for the treatment of EPI in patients with chronic pancreatitis and cystic fibrosis; it is also demonstrating activity in long chain fats and stability in protease and bile salt environments. MS1819 lipase could give patients suffering from EPI the chance to reduce their pill burden from 25 to 40 pills a day to as little as five to eight.

National Waste Management Holdings, Inc. (NWMH) Decreasing Excessive Waste Materials by Recycling Compliant Construction and Demolition Materials
Construction and demolition (C&D) materials represent the debris from the demolition, construction, or renovation of buildings, bridges, or even roads. C&D materials are normally heavy materials such as concrete, wood, asphalt, gypsum, bricks, glass, some types of plastic, salvaged building components, metals and trees, among other materials.
In the United States, C&D materials constitute a large percentage of waste, much of which can be transformed into new productive products. According to a report entitled ‘Advancing Sustainable Materials Management: 2014 Fact Sheet’ (http://dtn.fm/HiA4r), over 500 million tons of C&D debris were generated in 2014, with concrete making up 70% of it, asphalt 14%, wood more than 7%, and other products making up approximately 9% between them.
All the materials outlined above can either be reduced, salvaged, recycled, or reused by simply preserving existing buildings rather than constructing new ones, designing new buildings that can be adapted to make them last longer, establishing construction methods that allow for the disassembly and reuse of materials, using different framing techniques, and reducing the various types of interior finishes.
In addition, steps are being taken by companies such as National Waste Management Holdings, Inc. (OTC: NWMH) to reduce the impact C&D has on the environment. NWMH is a solid waste management company located in Central Florida.
The company is focused on operating according to an eco-friendly business model that has been put in place to combat unnecessary waste in Florida and New York. To pursue its mission of being environmentally conscience with a focus on sustainability, NWMH is committed to inspecting all loads and sorting all the materials that arrive in its landfills in order to accept only those that are compliant with the C&D Department of Environmental Protection standards.
In addition to the company’s high level of compliance with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), National Waste Management plans on using its picking station to aid the state of Florida in its quest to meet its mandate for 75% recycling by the end of 2020. This incentive will give the company the ability to increase its rate of recyclables and sales of commodities.

MGX Minerals (MGXMF) Set to Disrupt Industry with New PetroLithium™ Technology
When Harvard professor Clayton Christensen coined the term ‘disruptive innovation’, he had in mind technologies like the one being developed by MGX Minerals, Inc. (OTC: MGXMF) (CSE: XMG) (FRA: 1MG). This innovative company is poised to ignite a revolution in the energy sector with technology that extracts lithium from oil and gas wells. Its PetroLithium™ methodology separates valuable minerals from the salt water that typically accompanies crude oil, offering a novel way to extract lithium, an essential ingredient in the batteries of our laptops, mobile phones, and other electronic devices and, increasingly, our cars. As MGX refines its technology, it is quickly acquiring oil and gas properties, and operation of its initial Petrolithium™ borehole well is set to commence soon.
In an Emerging Theme Radar report (http://dtn.fm/ZW8b8), Goldman Sachs (GS) called lithium the ‘new gasoline’, saying its ‘unique properties make it a key enabler of the electric vehicle revolution’. Advances in battery technologies and a growing desire to avoid the hazards of fossil fuels signal a period of sustained growth for electric vehicles, which are forecast to rise from their present three percent of the automobile market to a penetration of 22 percent by 2025. Current demand for lithium runs to about 160,000 metric tons. According to GS, ‘a one-percent increase in battery electric vehicle penetration would increase lithium demand by 70,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) annually (or roughly half of current global demand for lithium).’
Lithium carbonate occurs in the salt water (brine) that accompanies petroleum (crude oil) as it’s pumped to the surface. However, petroleum brine, like gas in the early oil industry, has been treated as a waste product, and it’s either injected deep underground or stored in giant tanks after it is separated from the oil. These traditional disposal methods have resulted in environmental damage: polluting potable water supplies and causing landslides.
The PetroLithium™ process, consequently, holds the promise of killing two birds with one stone: extracting a valuable resource from material that would go to waste while offering a safer way to dispose of that waste. Extracting lithium from petroleum brine is also faster and less costly than conventional methods, like solar evaporation and hard-rock mining. In a recovery process specifically designed for the highly mineralized brine associated with petroleum, lithium brine evaporation times are expected to fall to less than one day. Traditional solar evaporation techniques take up to 18 months.
In early March, MGX reported encouraging results for tests on its latest petrolithium methodology. The extraction process was able to concentrate lithium more than 20-fold while removing contaminants in a low-energy process. Solutions of 67 mg lithium per liter of petroleum brine were concentrated to 1,600 mg lithium per liter.
MGX has significantly expanded its Alberta petrolithium portfolio through the acquisition of additional metallic and industrial mineral permits covering over 133,000 hectares, and it has acquired an additional 301 mineral claims encompassing 6,020 acres within the Paradox basin of southeastern Utah. The new claims further increase the company’s Lisbon Valley land package to 23,780 acres. The Lisbon Valley oil and gas field is located approximately 40 miles southeast of Moab, Utah, in the salt anticline belt on the southwest edge of the Paradox Basin in San Juan County. Historic lithium brine content there has been reported as high as 730 parts per million of lithium.
Last week, MGX announced it had entered into a joint operating agreement with a private vendor to act as operator and acquire a 75 percent working interest in certain oil and gas leases located contiguous to the company’s Lisbon Valley petrolithium project. Preparations to permit the petrolithium #1 borehole well will commence upon closing of the agreement.
MGX is offering a win-win combo with its PetroLithium™ technology, which promises a faster, less expensive method of lithium extraction, while disposing of oil and gas production waste in an environmentally friendly way. The company is a diversified mining company engaged in the development of large-scale industrial mineral portfolios in western Canada and the United States. MGX operates lithium, magnesium and silicon projects throughout British Columbia and Alberta, as well as petrolithium exploration in Utah.

Singlepoint, Inc. (SING) Interview Reveals How the Cannabis Industry is Incorporating Technology
The legalization of cannabis across many states in the U.S. has opened doors to various innovators, leaving the tech world to rapidly adapt to this trending industry. There’s now a strong move by cannabis-oriented businesses to incorporate common technologies found in other industries, and such innovations are not just found in dispensaries. Improvements are being made on the technology surrounding the agricultural, marketing, production, and distribution channels in the marijuana market. Technology is also being used to solve challenging issues such as payment options.
Singlepoint, Inc. (OTC: SING), a publicly traded holding company, offers payment solutions to the cannabis industry through its SingleSeed subsidiary. The company offers noncash payment solutions to marijuana businesses that are legal, easy to use, and safer for both the companies using them and the customers purchasing products. However, it is not just through payment solutions that Singlepoint is sparking innovation in the cannabis technology market.
Recently, Singlepoint has made public its plan to undertake strategic acquisitions of companies that are in the cannabis industry but which do not in any way touch the plant itself. As the marijuana market in the U.S. continues to flourish, this strategy has started to unfold with SING’s acquisition of a stake in Convectium, a company that has created a unique machine that fills and packages vape cartridges and disposable vape pens at a rate of 100 per 30 seconds.
In a recent interview with Donald Baillargeon from MoneyTV (http://dtn.fm/OCAe3), Greg Lambrecht, CEO of Singlepoint, announced that the company has provided its initial round of funding to Convectium, where demand and sales have soared for this quarter compared to the same quarter of 2016. According to Lambrecht, the Convectium product is a perfect acquisition for Singlepoint, not only because of its in-demand capabilities, but because it does not require direct involvement with the plant and, therefore, does not break any state or federal regulations.
According to Lambrecht, Singlepoint has entered into an independent sales agreement with Convectium, whereby Singlepoint will be selling the machine in order to increase its revenues. He continued to emphasize the greatness of both Convectium and its product during the interview, highlighting the fact that comparative financial results of 2016 and 2017 will soon be released.
With the legal cannabis market projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 17%, according to Forbes (http://dtn.fm/UmNX8), Singlepoint aims to focus its attention on cannabis enterprises rather than cultivation, allowing it to aid investors in the cannabis market to diversify their portfolios through equipment providers and consumer product makers. Despite marijuana still being classified as a Schedule 1 drug, Singlepoint is making strides in the cannabis technology market and plans to continue to diversify its revenue streams within the industry.

CD International Enterprises, Inc. (CDII) Announces Multi-Year Cannabidiol Distribution Agreement Serving US Market
Before the opening bell, CD International Enterprises, Inc. (OTC: CDII), through its wholly-owned CDI Shanghai Management Company subsidiary, announced its entry into a multi-year distribution agreement with Zhangjianjie Shengshi Agricultural Development Company (“Shengshi”) relating to the distribution of high-grade cannabidiol (CBD) crystal in the United States. Per the agreement, Shengshi will be responsible for large-scale production of CBD, which it processes from industrial hemp grown in China. From this production, up to 100 kilograms per month, or 1,200 kilograms per year, will be provided to CD International for U.S. distribution, with CDII maintaining exclusive U.S. distribution rights for an initial period of 10 years.
“We are very excited to enter this brand new business to develop a new profit center,” Dr. James Wang, chairman and CEO of CD International, stated in this morning’s news release. “CBD supplements have become a hot spot in the health products market in the U.S. … If we are able to distribute 100 kilograms per month or 1,200 kilogram per year in the U.S., we would generate over $60 million in revenues according to the current market wholesale price. Management is confident that our new business could generate substantial profit opportunities for our shareholders for years to come.”
This morning’s announcement follows a January news release in which CD International announced its entry into a one-year consulting agreement with Shengshi. Through that agreement, CDII will be offering Shengshi a variety of consulting services ranging from business development and market promotion to more specialized consultations regarding garden design, landscaping and management of online retailing, among others. Wang originally alluded to CDII’s plans to “develop a distribution business of Cannabidiol (CBD) extract out of industrial hemp in both North and South Americas” in the January update.
Despite the ongoing legal battle related to both medicinal and recreational marijuana use within the United States, CBD has already been legalized in all 50 states. Lacking a significant concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is responsible for the psychotropic effects stemming from cannabis use, CBD has been shown effective in treating a variety of ailments, including epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease and cirrhosis of the liver.
According to a recent report published by The Hemp Business Journal, CBD is currently one of the fastest-growing market categories in the U.S. hemp and legal cannabis industries, boasting a compound annual growth rate of roughly 59 percent. The CBD industry accounted for an estimated $202 million in consumer sales in 2015, and forecasts call for sales to reach $2.1 billion by 2020.

MeetMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET) Closes on 9.2 Million Share Public Offering, Sees 2Q2017 Target on Acquisition of if(we)
MeetMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET) has closed on its public offering of 9.2 million shares of common stock at $5 per share. This is inclusive of the full option by underwriters for 1.2 million additional shares of common stock. Net proceeds will be used by the company for general corporate purposes and to potentially fund MeetMe’s pending acquisition of “if(we)”, a San Francisco-based social and mobile technology company, as well as other future takeovers.
MeetMe is a social network for meeting new people in the U.S. Some 80% of its one million daily user traffic comes from mobile devices, such as iPhones, iPads, and Android devices. It is becoming a gathering place for mobile users, the company said. It generates revenue from advertising, subscriptions, and virtual currency.
Targeted to close in 2Q2017, the “if(we)” acquisition would be made for $60 million in cash, and that company is anticipated to generate at least $9 million of adjusted EBITDA and be accretive to earnings in the first 12 months after closing, MeetMe noted in a news release.
“if(we)” had revenues of $44 million in 2016 and is the operator of TAGGED and Hi5, branded apps which enable people to meet and chat with others. The site features 10.4 million mobile chats daily, and 18,000 mobile app users are added each day. “if(we)” is available in 100 countries and 15 languages.
MeetMe said in its corporate presentation on the acquisition (http://dtn.fm/J4gAA) that the transaction is expected to generate cross-promotional opportunities. It added that there is a less than 5% overlap in user bases, and the two companies together can lower technology costs by standardizing products. Also, by utilizing MeetMe’s best practices, the company expects a convergence of certain key metrics, such as daily chats.
Funding for the acquisition will come from MeetMe’s cash on hand, cash from operations, and a new $30 million loan from J.P. Morgan. The combined company could generate revenues of $150 million annually and an EBITDA of $50 million, per MeetMe’s presentation materials.

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (CIIX) Executes a First to Market Milestone
A population of over 1.2 billion people is one heck of a target market, especially when insulated by language. ChineseInvestors.com (OTCQB: CIIX) has leveraged this demographic to market a broad range of products, services and information specifically for the Chinese speaking population. The company provides real-time market commentary, analysis, and education-related services in the Chinese language and offers several types of subscription-based services. Headquartered in Los Angeles with offices in New York City and Shanghai, the company also offers consultation services to private companies seeking to go public, as well as advertising and public relations services.
Seizing opportunity, this diverse multi-faceted company recently executed a first-to-market milestone by creating the world’s only Chinese language, cannabinoid-based therapeutic health products online store, www.ChineseCBDoil.com. To supply consistently high quality products, the company entered into a wholesale agreement with a well-known CBD oil health brand manufacturer in January.
Marijuana use in China is illegal, but there are no legal strictures on the sale or use of therapeutic cannabis-based oils. Cannabidiol (CBD) oil is considered to have a broad range of medical benefits and, unlike medical marijuana products, CBD oil is non-psychoactive with low THC and high CBD content. CBD has shown varying efficacy in treating epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease and cirrhosis, as well as providing relief from anxiety and stress. CBD interacts with the body through the endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system regulates the body’s homeostasis, or general state of balance, impacting such functions as mood, sleep, appetite, hormone regulation, pain and immune response. Even more benefits are expected to be uncovered upon completion of ongoing research.
Given the wide-ranging practice of holistic-based Eastern medicine, acceptance and use of CBD oils is not only a natural adjunct but also an enormous potential revenue generator for ChineseInvestors.com.

Bollente Companies, Inc. (BOLC) is “One to Watch”
Bollente Companies, Inc. (OTCQB: BOLC) is in the early stages of developing a diverse portfolio of companies, targeting disruptive technologies that positively impact the environment and emerging economies. Their current focus is on high-efficiency electric tankless water heaters, manufactured and sold under “trutankless”, a division of Bollente, including a line of economy tankless water heaters sold under the Vero name. Units are available for both residential and commercial application.
The primary Bollente advantage is their use of advanced technology, superior to previous tankless systems, together with a growing U.S. and global market. Traditional water heaters are one of the costliest appliances to operate. The two primary energy sources used in U.S. homes are electric and natural gas, with less than half of U.S. homes having natural gas available. In addition, there are no significant electric whole home tankless manufacturers.
The U.S. Department of Energy now requires tanks of 55 gallons or more to have efficiency levels requiring expensive heat pumps to achieve. Bollente’s trutankless electric tankless water heater employs specialized sensors for constant water temperature, solid state electronics, and proprietary software, resulting in one of the most efficient heat exchangers ever produced. The technology includes smart grid and home automation capabilities, remote control and monitoring, and even smartphone alerts. It also allows adjustable custom power management settings, so that users can further enhance energy usage and performance. It is now estimated that tankless heaters used in every home would save over $8 billion annually in the U.S. alone.
By maintaining 99 percent efficiency, Bollente’s trutankless heaters use less energy than tank heaters, while providing the convenience of always-hot water. The system only uses power when there is demand, producing water to exact temperature, within one degree, even with sudden changes to input. Wireless apps allow for remote settings, notifications, and monitoring, and models are compatible with existing home automation and energy management systems. The technology also reduces size, for easy location, and the system’s self-flushing design provides up to 20+ years of maintenance free operation, significantly reducing upkeep and replacement costs. This becomes an additional environmental benefit since roughly 8 million used water heaters are dumped in landfills every year.
Bollente has also announced the formation of Bollente International, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, for the international production and sale of trutankless systems. Taking advantage of growing interest in their technology, Bollente International is working with an international manufacturing firm for the production and distribution of trutankless systems throughout Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, with the first step being the testing and certification necessary to meet the various international standards.
Bollente has made electric tankless water heating compelling to a major consumer market, both in and outside the U.S., offering economic as well as operational efficiency and convenience, attractive to builders as well as to end consumers.

Greenkraft, Inc. (GKIT) Making Itself Available to the Entirety of the United States
Most vehicles across the United States are powered by either gasoline or diesel, but this is changing. Sales of cars, especially fleet vehicles, that operate on alternative fuels are growing, and, according to the U.S. Department Of Energy, natural gas now powers more than 150,000 vehicles across the country and over 15 million vehicles worldwide (http://dtn.fm/LF8Zg).
Because natural gas as a transportation fuel is widely distributed, domestically available, more cost efficient, and better for the environment, these new vehicles are expected to become increasingly popular for the foreseeable future, and, thanks to Greenkraft, Inc. (OTCQB: GKIT), they will soon be making their way across the U.S.
Greenkraft, a company that manufactures and markets alternative fuel systems to convert petrol-based vehicles and engines to function on natural gas and propane fuels, offers a variety of trucks and engines to suit various modern-day business needs. In fact, all of its products are built to suit companies in the food, electric, construction, and landscaping markets, among others.
Greenkraft prides itself on offering fuel efficient trucks that not only save businesses money, but are also better for the environment. These vehicles meet EPA and CARB emission standards and use only alternative fuels for power. To top it off, the company works closely with the government to encourage businesses to switch to more eco-friendly automobiles through tax incentives and rebates.
Most recently, Greenkraft announced that it will be launching a widespread national marketing campaign to include printed advertisements, trade shows, and targeted campaigns that will showcase its trucks and engines to the majority of the U.S. market. In addition to bringing in new customers, GKIT wants to educate companies about the positive environmental impact they could have by changing their transportation methods.
A month prior to this press release, the company announced that, due to increased demand for its products, it will be expanding to a bigger factory in 2017 and introduce new, larger-sized trucks in weights of 26,000 and 33,000 pounds, respectively. The combination of this new nationwide marketing campaign and its plans to expand to a bigger factory will enable GKIT to meet customer needs while having a serious positive impact on the environment.

eXp World Holdings, Inc. (EXPI) Keeps Salespeople Satisfied and Selling
The sales profession is known for sales cycle stress, pressures to meet quotas and the debilitating psychological impact of constant rejection. Combined, these factors are known contributors to the sales industry’s exceptionally high turnover rates and lost productivity. The satisfaction level of salespeople may not seem to correlate directly with business objectives, but it substantially impacts an organization’s bottom line. Happy sales people are consistently more resourceful and productive. Sales can obviously be a tough job, with the daily grind of prospecting and repeated rejection. Even top producers can be pulled down by deals that linger but never seem to go through.
Research has proven that happiness is contagious, especially in sales. When salespeople truly enjoys their environment and what they’re doing, it leads to a more natural selling proposition and, ultimately, more success. They convert more leads and are generally more successful, because prospects are engaged and gravitate toward them. Happy salespeople are less stressed, undeterred by rejection, and consistently more productive.
More money can help enhance a sales person’s happiness, but more money alone does not directly equate to more happiness. More money helps, but well-researched psychological principles show that top salespeople want more. These principles show that sales producers are motivated by new challenges and responsibilities. They also want to continue to learn and hone their skills, an essential element of what makes them successful. More than most people, top sales performers need appreciation and recognition for their achievements, and they produce more in an environment that promotes relationships and provides meaning.
Few industries are more sales driven than residential real estate. Success is contingent upon attracting and keeping productive sales agents. Adding agents, reducing turn over, and increasing sales productivity makes or breaks agencies. eXp World Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: EXPI) is changing the paradigm of real estate sales by using an advanced-technology online system to provide the tools, motivation, and support needed to attract and keep agents. eXp World Holdings is the publicly-traded holding company of eXp Realty, an agent-owned cloud-based residential brokerage. The company nearly tripled its agent count last year, with over 1,500 new real estate professionals joining eXp Realty in 2016. The dramatic increase in agents and revenues reflects the environment built by the company’s unique business model. eXp Realty believes the greatest asset of any real estate brokerage is the team of agents and brokers who create the revenues of the company.
By eliminating the high cost of brick and mortar locations, the company offers among the highest payouts in the industry. Agents and brokers receive exceptional support and continued education through eXp Realty’s innovative 24/7 cloud-based system of collaborative tools and training. Its 3-D, fully-immersive, cloud office environment also promotes agent socialization, relationship enhancement, and agent recognition. Proof of eXp’s pioneering approach is borne out not only by the striking increase in agents last year, but also by the myriad of positive online reviews posted by agents.
By surreptitiously abetting sales agent happiness with tangible and intangible support systems, eXp is poised to not only continue adding legions of agents, but also to dramatically exceed revenue expectations.

India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSE: IGC) Aims to Become a Leading Provider of Cannabis-Based Combination Therapies
India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSE MKT: IGC) has set a long-term goal for itself in the U.S. of becoming a leading provider of cannabis-based pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products. This is a transition away from its earlier short-term strategy, including the sale of electronics and development of a hotel site in Malaysia. To this end, the company has jettisoned its electronics business. IGC is now fully focused on building a portfolio of patents and starting clinical and pre-clinical trials for a series of pain-reducing and other cannabis-based therapies. These therapies are designed to treat neuropathic pain, seizures, Parkinson’s, anorexia/cachexia, Alzheimer’s, and PTSD.
Ram Mukunda, CEO of the company, indicated that IGC’s 2017 goals are focused on its progression toward commencement of clinical trials for these combination therapies. The Journal of Pain, in September 2012, reported that between $560 billion and $635 billion is spent annually in the U.S. for pain management, making it a significant part of the American health care system. In response, IGC has developed a series of drugs for pain and other disorders, including IGC-501 for neuropathic pain, IGC-502 for the treatment of seizures, and IGC-504 and IGC-506 for eating disorders and cachexia.
The company recently filed for issuance of a provisional patent for IGC-506, a combination of cannabis-based extracts and other compounds. It should be noted that a provisional patent does not assure the issuance of a patent in the future.
Mukunda explained that IGC is starting a review of international medical sites as the company seeks preclinical and clinical trials of its patent portfolio. He described the marketplace that IGC is entering as large, indicating that trials, patents and seeking approval from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration is seen as cost-effective.

Heat Biologics (NASDAQ: HTBX) at the Vanguard of a Paradigm Shift in Cancer Treatment
The human body is elegantly designed to heal itself, utilizing the immune system as its defense against various pathogens. Triggered by immune response signals, the immune system attacks and kills organisms and substances that invade body systems and cause disease. However, the immune system sometimes needs help in identifying and killing some invaders.
Cancer presents a complex and perplexing problem for effective immune system response, because it finds ways to hide from the immune system or block the immune system’s ability to battle against the disease. An important part of the immune system is its ability to differentiate between normal cells in the body and invaders. This differentiation allows the immune system to attack the invading cells while leaving normal cells alone. To achieve this, the immune system uses molecules on certain immune cells that need to be activated or inactivated to trigger an immune response. However, cancer cells can sometimes use these checkpoints to deceive the immune system and avoid being attacked. Newly developed drugs, known as checkpoint inhibitors, have shown some success in cancer treatments. However, a combination of checkpoint inhibitors and specific T cell-stimulating therapeutic vaccines indicates a much higher degree of efficacy.
Heat Biologics (NASDAQ: HTBX) is at the vanguard of this shift in cancer treatments, developing novel therapeutic vaccines to activate the immune system against a wide range of cancers. When antigens enter the body, they stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies in response to these foreign substances. Heat Biologics exploits this natural process to elicit a powerful immune response against the disease target. The company’s therapeutic vaccines are based on heat shock protein gp-96, a protein that activates the immune system when cells die. This protein is attached to the cell by what’s called a KDEL leash. Heat Biologic’s vaccines remove this leash and cause cells to continuously secrete gp96 and its chaperoned antigens to activate the immune system.
Heat Biologics recently announced the latest results of its ongoing phase 2 clinical trial in combination with Bristol-Myers Squibb’s checkpoint inhibitor. Researchers reported a strong correlation between T cell activation, tumor reductions, and increased overall survival in the patients evaluated. Patients with a sustained immune response also exhibited substantial tumor reductions. It appears the combination of Heat Biologics’ vaccine and checkpoint inhibitors may become an attractive therapeutic approach treating cancers.

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (CIIX) Set to Open California Retail Store, Launches XiBiDi Biotechnology in China
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) is planning to open a retail store in San Gabriel, California, the same city in which the company is headquartered. The company also recently announced its new online cannabidiol (CBD) oil retail store would be operated by its newly-launched XiBiDi Biotechnology Co., Ltd subsidiary, which is headquartered in the Pudong Free-Trade Area of Shanghai, China.
XiBiDi Biotechnology will focus on the online and offline sales of health products, including a range of hemp-derived food and beverages. In a news release, Warren Wang, founder and CEO of CIIX, said he was delighted with the registration and establishment of CIIX’s new hemp company. The registration is expected to be finalized by the end of March 2017.
“XiBiDi is strategically located in the Pudong Free-Trade Area of Shanghai, China, where we have the opportunity to reach a consumer base of nearly 1.4 million people,” Wang said. “We believe that this large population affords XiBiDi an outstanding opportunity to be the provider of choice for natural hemp products.”
CIIX previously opened the world’s first online CBD product store in the Chinese language, www.ChineseCBDoil.com, in the Industrial Building of Shanghai. It will sell CBD products, which are non-toxic and non-addictive. CBD is extracted from cannabis in the form of a natural concentrate. It is thought to have value in treating epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, and cirrhosis of the liver, as well as in easing the impact of the neurodegenerative disease ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease.
“CIIX is very excited to be the world’s first U.S. publicly traded company promoting hemp-based CBD health products and hemp foods that will help Chinese people improve their overall health,” noted Wang.

ProBility Media Corp. (PBYA) is Bringing Back American Jobs with Technical Training
Data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) show that the unemployment rate (http://dtn.fm/U7mmN) in February 2017 was 4.7%, around the lowest it has been since the financial crisis. The Bureau is also projecting a benign environment in the coming years for the skilled trades, but those blue-collar jobs of the future won’t be quite the same as the ones held by our fathers and uncles. To get and keep them will require training, the kind offered by Houston, Texas-based educational technology company ProBility Media Corp. (OTCQB: PBYA), which is out to develop the first full service training and career advancement brand for technical vocations and trades.
For the foreseeable future, the need for electricians, plumbers and HVAC (heating, ventilation & air-conditioning) technicians will remain, according to BLS statistics (http://dtn.fm/FD4Cv), and employment in these skilled trades will continue to grow. In the decade to 2024, we will need about 29 percent more electricians than we have now. About half of this demand will be driven by population growth; the rest will result from the places left by retirees.
The job markets for plumbers and HVAC tradesmen present similar prospects. The U.S. will need about 25 percent more plumbers and around 29 percent more HVAC tradesmen than it now has.
But nobody wants a plumber that leaves a leaky pipe, which is where ProBility and its suite of educational products come in. ProBility has positioned itself as a key industrial training resource for individuals, small- and medium-size businesses and enterprise customers, offering consistent, high-quality training services and materials for education, testing, and career advancement.
ProBility is the only company building the full spectrum of career training, advancement and compliance tools for tradesmen and technical experts in a wide variety of over 60 skilled professions. ProBility is executing a disruptive strategy of defragmenting the marketplace of thousands of disparate companies by acquiring companies in the areas of expertise and organically growing revenues through synergies.
Revenues for the year ended October 31, 2016, were $3.1 million, which represented a 45-percent increase over same period revenues for 2015. Revenues for the first quarter ended January 31, 2016, were $1,088,180, which represented a 24-percent year-over-year increase.
Currently, the ProBility portfolio includes the following divisions:
Brown Technical Media Corp. – An online web business with multiple micro websites featuring training materials and codes and standards sought by engineers, construction workers, scientists and other tradesmen in a wide variety of fields
Brown Technical Publications – A proprietary publishing business generating copyrighted training materials for engineers, construction workers, scientists and other tradesmen in a wide variety of fields
1ExamPrep – E-Learning, education and exam preparation for contractors via the cheapest, fastest and most effective exam prep school in the industry instituting a 4-point proven learning system
National Electrical Wholesale Providers – In the business of distributing wholesale industrial, commercial and residential training materials, including those relating to
HVAC, plumbing and electrical

Singlepoint, Inc. (SING) CEO Greg Lambrecht Reveals High Points of Convectium Acquisition
Singlepoint, Inc. (OTC: SING), specializing in small- to mid-sized company acquisitions, recently began funding Convectium, an organization that sells equipment in the cannabis industry. There should be “more funding on the way,” according to Singlepoint CEO Greg Lambrecht, who discussed the acquisition in a recent episode of MoneyTV with Donald Baillargeon. Convectium sells machines that fill vials with oil, and it created a unique system for filling/packaging vape cartridges and disposable vape pens. These systems, and point of sale equipment, are sold at various trade shows, according to Lambrecht.
In the phone interview, Lambrecht also revealed that Singlepoint is looking into joint ventures as part of its growth strategy. The Singlepoint CEO further talked about subsidiary SingleSeed Payments, which was recently re-activated as a means to offer legal marijuana businesses the financial tools they need to thrive. He noted that the SingleSeed.com website is very helpful for dispensaries looking for merchant payment processing solutions and other relevant tools for their business. “Once they get there, they’re going to see anywhere from three to five products that can help their dispensary do business,” he said.
Discussing several points highlighting the company’s inside sales strategy, Lambrecht also gave insights into Singlepoint’s outside sales strategy. He added, “Of course, the outside sales strategy is to continue to acquire companies that do not touch the plant, like Convectium… so we’re not affected by state or federal laws.” He also said the strategy is “to be the pick and shovel of the industry.” There are currently 26 states with medical marijuana, Lambrecht noted, emphasizing the market that is available to his organization and the potential to generate revenue.
Founded in 2006, Singlepoint is a publicly-traded holding company. Investors have access to a wide range of assets. The company’s primary solutions focus on mobile technology to allow clients to engage in communication, conduct business transactions, and accept donations. It began solely as a mobile technology provider and has grown from there. The company has since diversified into horizontal markets, built its portfolio by acquiring interests in undervalued subsidiaries, and targeted cash flow positive businesses with high potential and verified assets.
Singlepoint has a stake in a variety of solutions, in addition to products for marijuana dispensaries, including mobile payment and donations solutions. It also offers a credit card checkout system for mobile phones.
The company is headed by CEO Greg Lambrecht, who has founded and led several start-up companies, including a leading consumer product distribution company. He has also negotiated with some of the largest retail firms in the country. Singlepoint is also led by Chief Technology Officer Eric Lofdahl, who has held positions in software development, program management, engineering process definition, and more. Along with telecommunications expert Gowri Shankar, the team makes up the company’s board of directors. Wil Ralston is VP of Sales and Marketing.

National Waste Management Holdings, Inc. (NWMH) Educating People to Make Florida More Environmentally Friendly
Although the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that up to 75% of the United States’ waste stream is recyclable, only 30% of it actually gets recycled each year, according to RecoverUSA.com (http://dtn.fm/C7ncW). Approximately one-third of an average landfill is made up of packaging material, with more than 60% of the landfill being paper, plastic, food waste, glass, and metal.
Only 1% of aluminum products and 1% of plastic products are recycled in the United States each year, although Americans discard 25 million plastic bottles every hour. With paper and cardboard making up most of industrial waste products, if companies establish a paper and cardboard recycling program, they would make a serious positive impact on the environment.
National Waste Management Holdings, Inc. (OTC: NWMH), a growing solid waste management company, is doing everything in its power to educate the people of Florida about the critical value of recycling. Aside from the company’s recent shift in services, NWMH has plans of transforming its fundamental business model to include a portable picking station at the company’s landfill that will help the state meet its mandate for 75% recycling by 2020.
National Waste Management believes that, despite modern-day efforts to make the world more sustainable, people do not understand the full meaning of the common catch phrase “reduce, reuse, recycle”. According to the company: “It’s a simple premise but contains logistics that most don’t consider. By the time you’re ready to recycle something, there are already many environmentally-conscious decisions that have been missed.”
The company is trying to encourage a shift in consumer focus on products that are designed better and produce less waste. Not only this, it wants to help people put more thought into reusing materials and products, as well as educate themselves on products that are made of materials that are recyclable and are accepted by their local waste management services.

eXp World Holdings, Inc. (EXPI) to Hold Annual Shareholders Meeting on April 27
eXp World Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: EXPI) will hold its annual shareholders meeting on April 27, 2017, at the Coronado Island Marriott in Coronado, California, and the company is urging eXp Realty agent-owners, entrepreneurial real estate professionals, and investors to attend. eXp World Holdings is the holding company for eXp Realty LLC, an agent-owned cloud-based real estate brokerage.
The meeting will be held against a backdrop of the company’s rapid growth to more than 3,000 agents in the U.S. and Canada, a 25% increase from the 2,401 agents recorded at the end of 2016. It took the company approximately four months to go from 2,000 to 3,000 agents, almost half the time it took to move from 1,000 agents to 2,000. The company indicated that, year-over-year, in 2015 and 2016, it enjoyed a 200% increase in agent count.
eXp Realty is a full-service residential real estate company. It offers its agents training through a fully immersive cloud-based environment. The company also attracts agents through its program of commission incentives supplemented by agent-ownership opportunities.
eXp World Holdings presented at the ROTH Conference and detailed its unique model incentives.

India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSE: IGC) Pioneering New Phytocannabinoid Products
Although legal in 28 states for medicinal use, cannabis is still considered a dangerous substance in much of the country. However, many experts now believe that cannabis is a safe alternative to pharmaceuticals for relieving symptoms related to multiple illnesses. Scientific research shows that phytocannabinoids, cannabinoids that occur naturally in the cannabis plant, are effective at relieving convulsions, seizures, anxiety, nausea, and inflammation. From fighting glaucoma to controlling epileptic seizures and easing pain, scientific research has repeatedly shown the efficacy of medicinal marijuana.
Due to government misclassification of cannabis as a Schedule 1 drug, there has been only marginal progress in the utilization of phytocannabinoids, which hold such promise in disease treatment and pain mitigation. Although many pharmaceutical companies still avoid association with cannabinoids, attitudes are changing, and the medicinal benefits of marijuana are being recognized for their worth.
With changes in the acceptance of medicinal marijuana, some pharmaceutical companies are finally beginning to unpack the myriad of potential benefits phytocannabinoids hold. India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSE MKT: IGC) is pioneering such efforts. A multi-faceted company with global experience, India Globalization has a primary focus on developing novel cannabis-based therapies for the treatment of debilitating or life threatening conditions. The company’s current pipeline of patented drugs is focused on large market maladies, including therapeutics for neuropathic pain, human and animal seizures, refractory epilepsy, and eating disorders. Several of the company’s products are scheduled for pre-clinical trials this year.
A transformation is now underway in the medical use of cannabinoids for disease treatment, and India Globalization “believe(s) that the legalization of the cannabis industry will create an explosion in demand for cannabinoid-based pharmaceutical therapies, technology, facilities, and financial services.” With a patent portfolio of cannabinoid-based therapies, the company is well positioned for the quickly arriving time when medical cannabis gains widespread acceptance.

Cannabis Businesses Represent Diverse Opportunities of Booming Market
The U.S. medical and recreational marijuana industry continues to expand. Even though the debate over medical efficacy and the concerns over recreational marijuana use continue to cause political and social divisions within the country, the investment community is moving rapidly from benign interest to embracing the marijuana industry as a significant investment opportunity.
At the recent 29th annual ROTH conference, an investment conclave attracting global financial gurus, even traditionally conservative industries like private equity groups took serious consideration of the marijuana market opportunities. The opening conference panel discussion centered on the medical uses for marijuana and emphasized the upside potential in the burgeoning marijuana market that is already underway.
In attendance at the conference and presenting to fund managers and investment advisors was GrowGeneration Corporation (OTC: GRWG). GrowGeneration currently owns and operates 12 specialty retail hydroponic and organic gardening stores with locations in Colorado, Nevada and California. With the company’s focus on owning and operating branded stores in all of the major legalized cannabis states, it currently sells thousands of products to facilitate the cultivation of marijuana for commercial and home growers.
GrowGeneration went public last year and is fast moving toward its objective of becoming the first company in its vertical on the NASDAQ stock exchange. Interviewed at the conference, Darren Lampert, CEO of the company, stated in part, “Investors are seeking out investments in the cannabis industry and are hoping to profit from the fastest growing new market in the USA in some time. GrowGeneration benefits from all sides as more growers come to us for their equipment and nutrients, which is why we were able to grow as exponentially as we have without directly touching the end product.” By supplying a vast array of specialty retail hydroponic equipment, lighting, and organic nutrients and soils to horticulturalists and marijuana cultivators, GrowGeneration is focused on reaping rewards from the explosive growth of this fledgling industry.
Already one of the nation’s largest specialty retail hydroponic and organic gardening store chains, GrowGeneration acquired all of the assets of Sonoma Hydro last month creating a $2.5 million northern California retail distribution center. Northern California’s “Emerald Triangle,” home to a large concentration of cannabis cultivators, is a significant growth opportunity for the company, with the market projected to grow at a compounded annual rate of 18.5%, reaching $6.5 billion by 2020.
Further validation of the huge potential of this market can be found in GrowGeneration’s press release last week. The company announced that Merida Capital Partners, a cannabis infrastructure fund, has provided GrowGeneration $1.65 million in equity financing. When factoring in warrant exercises, funding will total $3.92 million in capital. Merida Capital Partners priced callable warrants at $4.12 or higher, an obvious indication of its belief in the company.
Whether one agrees with the surge in the cannabis industry or not, there’s no denying the wizards of Wall Street are believers. Now may be the time for individual investors to participate and potentially profit from one of the fastest growing new markets in America, which is occupied by a number of other innovators such as: MyDx, Inc. (OTCQB: MYDX), which offers CannaDX, a unique device that allows anyone to directly test cannabis products for THC, CBD, and CBN potency; Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (NYSE: IIPR), which focuses on an entirely different aspect of the industry, helping licensed MMJ growers meet capital needs by purchasing their grow-land and leasing it back to them; Terra Tech Corp. (OTCQX: TRTC), which designs and sells its own specialized hydroponic and associated equipment for indoor growing, in addition to the retail selling of cannabis products; and Aphria, Inc. (OTCQB: APHQF), which produces and sells a variety of “100% Greenhouse Grown” cannabis products throughout Canada.

MGX Minerals, Inc. (MGXMF) is “One to Watch”
MGX Minerals (OTC: MGXMF), a diversified mining company based in Vancouver, holds asset portfolios in lithium, magnesium, and silicon in western Canada, with a stated focus on the development of industrial mineral portfolios in specific commodities and jurisdictions offering near-term production potential, minimal barriers to entry, and low initial capital expenditures. Targeting properties where large-scale development opportunities exist, they prefer to acquire regional control in mineral properties to enhance portfolio value, and engage industry experts to mitigate execution risk and improve time to market.
Positive developments have made the company’s lithium operations a special point of interest. An important factor is the company’s engineering partner Purlucid Treatment Solutions, which has developed technologies representing a major step in the process of extracting lithium from petroleum brine water (petrolithium). MGX already holds the largest lithium portfolio in Canada, with its Sturgeon Lake property in Alberta and other lithium assets, and the company is the sole proprietary technology holder for processing petrolithium. Purlucid has now successfully demonstrated a way to upgrade brine samples from 67mg/L of lithium to 1600mg/L of lithium, while at the same time removing all magnesium, boron, and potassium. This significant pre-processing achievement, generating solutions 1200 percent higher than anticipated, can be expected to have an impact on the cost of production for the entire petrolithium process, since, according to Purlucid CEO Dr. Preston McEachern, the “biggest challenge in lithium recovery is creating a clean brine.”
MGX and Purlucid together are already in the bulk sample and pilot plant design optimization phase of development in preparation for deployment, progressing toward unlocking their calculated 2 million metric ton lithium carbonate resource. The initial petrolithium pilot plant is projected to process 12,000 liters of brine per day, and management now sees a future plant capable of handling over a million liters of brine per day. It can be reasonable that future plants will be located near a major operation’s water collection and reinjection sites, complete with available infrastructure already in place. Using a current conservative price of $12,000 per metric ton, and the potential to produce upwards of 14,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate per year, the potential from just one major plant would be revenues of nearly $170 million annually.
Additionally, MGX Minerals holds the sole legal patent on the petrolithium process across North America, and is now planning operations in Utah, near the emerging Gigafactory underway by Tesla, with its anticipated demand for lithium. The company believes there is a virtually endless source of lithium-bearing brines in North America.
Supporting this is the company’s operations with silicon and magnesium. MGX Minerals controls three high-grade silicon projects in British Columbia. There are currently no producers of silicon in western North America, and the company is evaluating the economic viability of producing silicon metal from high-purity quartzite. MGX is also now developing North America’s next magnesium oxide mine in central British Columbia, a location with good mineralization and excellent infrastructure.

Neogen Corp. (NEOG) Keeping People and Animals Safe with Traditional Lab Methods
Foodborne illnesses are more common than people believe. These infections are not only common but costly, and also very preventable. Every year, one in six Americans get sick from consuming the wrong food or drink. Unfortunately, because there are so many different microbes and pathogens that can cause disease, there are also many different types of infections.
With more than 250 different foodborne diseases now described, each has its own set of symptoms, and some have lethal results. Normally, a person contaminated will suffer from temporary nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, or diarrhea, but because of the variety of bacteria, viruses, and parasites found in certain foods, these contaminated foods can also cause long-term health problems, or even death.
The hardest aspect of food safety is controlling the various times at which food can get contaminated. The food supply process today is extremely complicated and comes with its own set of very strict rules. However, there are many opportunities for food contamination to take place. These include on-farm production, harvesting or slaughtering, processing, storage, transport, and distribution.
Neogen Corp. (NASDAQ: NEOG) a company that develops, manufactures, and markets various products and services relating to food and animal safety, has, for its mission, to be the leading food and animal safety company, keeping people and animals safe throughout the food making and marketing process.
The company keeps food and animals safe from inside the farm gate through to the moment it arrives on people’s plates. From intervention products to diagnostic products, NEOG provides test kits, instrument systems, consumables, culture media, software, and services for the food safety market. It also provides a complete line of veterinary diagnostics, instruments, pharmaceuticals, nutritional supplements, disinfectants, and rodenticides for the safety of animals.
Although many companies today have replaced traditional lab methods with more modern test formats, Neogen still believes in the time-tested methods discovered and developed in the mid-1800’s. The company serves this market with its Acumedia dehydrated culture media lines and competes in each segment of the Food Safety market. It now has some of the world’s top food and animal producers and processors as clients, and offers more than 400 products to the market.

ImageWare Systems, Inc. (IWSY) Sets March 30 Conference Call, Receives Frost & Sullivan Award for New Product Innovation
ImageWare Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: IWSY) has set a March 30, 2017, conference call (http://dtn.fm/4j16M) for a corporate update on its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016. Results for those periods will be released prior to the call, which is scheduled for 5 p.m. (ET). Hosting the call will be Jim Miller, ImageWare chairman and CEO, and Wayne Wetherell, CFO.
The San Diego-based company designs cloud-based and mobile multi-modal biometric identity management solutions, including biometric authentication technology. Its biometrics are next generation and are interactive and scalable cloud-based solutions. The company offers multi-factor authentication for desktop devices, smartphones, and mobile clients. Its products include authentication by face, voice, fingerprint, eye, DNA, and more. It also develops access control tools.
ImageWare recently received the 2017 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for New Product Innovation. The award was presented in recognition of its GoVerifyID Enterprise Suite, which provides multi-modal biometric user identification as an end-to-end turnkey solution.
“This mobile/cloud SaaS (software as a service) offering is the industry’s first multi-modal biometric user authentication solution that allows customers to strengthen the security of their passwords or two-factor authentication using biometrics.

Vertex Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: VTNR) Focused on Used Oil Recycling
The foundation of Vertex Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: VTNR) was laid by the employment of a 16-year-old Alabama teenager, with the result being that a multi-faceted environmental services company was eventually built upon the endeavors of that teenager. Roughly 30 years ago, Benjamin Cowart, now the CEO and chairman of Vertex, began work at his brother’s used oil collection business in Alabama. After 15 years of working, learning, and helping to build a successful business, he ventured out on his own and formed Vertex in 2001. Vertex Energy now collects and recycles used motor oil and other petroleum by-products, off-specification commercial chemicals, and multiple other industrial waste streams.
Vertex purchases used oil, industrial waste, and chemical products from a developed network of local and regional suppliers, known as street collection, and focuses resources on recycling a portion of its collected used motor oil and other petroleum products. Vertex also sells used petroleum products as feedstock to other re-refineries and fuel blenders or as replacement fuel for use in industrial burners.
The company’s Black Oil division operates across the entire used motor oil recycling spectrum. From used oil and petroleum product collection and aggregation, the company transports, stores, refines, and sells re-refined products to end users. The company’s Refining and Marketing division aggregates feedstock, re-refines it, and then sells the various products. The company’s Recovery division delivers solutions for the recovery and management of hydrocarbon streams.
Expanding feedstock, Vertex Energy has acquired several other used oil collection routes. At oil’s peak, Vertex Energy was paying local generators $1.00 per gallon for used motor oil, but, with the collapse in oil prices, Vertex was able to move from paying for used oil to charging for collection. Vertex has been challenged like others in the oil business but has targeted 2017 as the year for its collection acquisitions to play out.
Headquartered in Houston, Texas, with facilities in Louisiana and Ohio, and offices in Illinois and Georgia, Vertex Energy has come a long way from that Alabama teenager.

ProBility Media Corp. (PBYA) Delivering Labor Force Excellence as Study Shows Importance of Continuous Workplace Learning
The modern career concept is going through core changes, as employees now enjoy the prospect of multi-decade-long careers but the half-life of skills is falling rapidly, according to Deloitte’s Global Human Capital Trends 2017 report (http://dtn.fm/O9MiY). These new workplace realities are forcing companies to completely change the way they manage careers and to focus on delivering ongoing learning and development opportunities to their employees. Most companies have already shifted toward the digital learning model, where leading EdTech service providers such as ProBility Media Corp. (OTCQB: PBYA) are providing high-quality training courses and materials for career advancement and workforce excellence.
The Deloitte report shows that this year more than ever, executives are aware of the issue and are working hard to offer their employees continuous learning as a means to ensure business success. Compared to decades ago when employees learned to gain skills for developing a career, nowadays the career is a journey of learning where they push for continuous skill development and the ability to learn and progress.
A total of 83 percent of respondents in this year’s survey said their business was shifting toward open, flexible career models (http://dtn.fm/E1lHl) that offer employees more enriching experiences and assignments instead of the traditional, static progression, and this new learning and development model seems to pay off, the report underlines, as companies that offer dynamic career models actually outperform their counterparts by providing employees with continuous learning opportunities focused on their professional development and advancement.
It is with this goal in mind that leading education technology company ProBility Media Corp. is working to provide consistent high-quality online training to prepare the workforce for excellence. Servicing a wide range of customers, from small- and medium-sized businesses to enterprise level corporations, the Houston, Texas-based company is the first to offer full chain career advancement, basically creating the first full service career advancement and training brand in the technical fields.
With a focus on offering advanced training to individuals from graduation to career placement and beyond, ProBility Media has become a key resource of industrial training for customers in various trades, including engineering, electrical contracting, plumbing contracting and fabrication, and the company is already expanding into additional vocational industries with the same full chain of education, training and certification. The company’s business model is disrupting the industry by defragmenting a market that currently has multiple separate companies that service multiple verticals in more than 60 skilled trades.
Through its continued expansion via strategic acquisitions and organic growth, ProBility Media has now become one of the largest wholesalers of the national electric code through its division, National Electric Wholesale Providers. Through its construction training division, ProBility offers programs in 22 states with the goal of servicing all 50. The company’s platform includes virtual reality training opportunities for crane operators, which are likely to be applied to other fields as well, along with advisory services and online learning subscription services for enterprises, resulting in recurring revenue streams.

ChineseInvestors.com (CIIX) Helping Treat Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Late February, a study was released (http://dtn.fm/UEFx3) reviewing evidence that supports the use of cannabinoids to treat Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, ALS is a fatal illness that attacks the nerve cells that control voluntary muscles such as those in the face, arms, legs, and others.
Currently, ALS is treated with riluzole, a drug that controls neuronal signaling, but this drug does not cure the disease and can only slightly increase the chance of survival. With more effective therapeutic options needed to treat ALS, in-depth research has been done into the benefits of cannabinoids, the naturally occurring compounds found in the marijuana plant.
According to the article relating to the report, the cannabinoid system is involved in the pathology of ALS. A researcher shared that the data found proves that by editing CB2-mediated processes, it could change the progression of ALS and how much the endocannabinoid system could reduce excitotoxicity, neuroinflammation, and oxidative cell damage.
Testing on animals with ALS showed that cannabinoids have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects. It was also proven that cannabinoids can further delay the progression of the disease and prolong survival in these animals. Despite new cases of ALS being diagnosed each day, there are no obvious racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries associated with the disease.
With a shift in consumer, political, and legal views surrounding cannabis, as well as the current studies that are starting to show proof that CBD can help treat a variety of diseases, demand for CBD oil is on the rise across the globe. Companies such as ChineseInvestors.com (OTCQB: CIIX) are launching CBD health products in order to meet this growing demand.
Although China maintains its stance that cannabis is illegal both medically and recreationally, using CBD oil for medical purposes is allowed. As a result, ChineseInvestors.com is now launching the first CBD health products store in China and aims to be the first-ever provider of CBD oil products to customers in mainland China, and to Chinese speaking people in the United States and Canada.
The company aims to help people with diseases such as ALS by offering high-quality products that are both natural and legal, using compounds found in the cannabis plant that are not psychoactive. With the valid rationale to suggest the use of CBD to manage the symptoms of ALS, and the growing global need for high-quality CBD products, ChineseInvestors.com will be entering the market and helping treat numerous patients in two of the largest countries in the world.

InMed Pharmaceuticals (IMLFF) Lead Product Candidate Targeting Rare, Incurable Skin Disease
With a prevalence of 20 per million newborns in the United States, and an estimated 500,000 patients worldwide, epidermolysis bullosa is a group of rare inherited skin diseases that range in severity from mild to lethal and have no currently approved or known cure or treatment. The condition was brought to the public attention in the early 2000s, and, since then, efforts to find a cure have not born fruit, with most research and development focusing instead on addressing the symptoms, such as reducing blistering and swelling and preventing wounds and pain. However, a new product currently in development by Vancouver-based biopharmaceutical company InMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCQB: IMLFF) may change that, having the potential to basically reverse the disease.
The condition causes extreme skin sensitivity that often results in painful blisters on the dermis or mucosal membranes, as a result of minor trauma such as heat or scratching or friction. Usually showing up in infancy or early childhood, the disease has various symptoms such as the appearance of large blisters on the skin, mostly on the feet and hands; loss of fingernails or toenails; blistering in the respiratory system, blistering on the scalp and hair loss; difficulty swallowing; dental problems and more. In its more severe forms, epidermolysis bullosa can cause complications such as sepsis, malnutrition and anemia, dehydration, eye disorders and even skin cancer. In some severe cases where blistering is widespread, frequent infections and sores affect the patients’ ability to breathe and eat and ultimately result in their death.
This orphan disease has no known treatment, and it is therefore a significant unmet medical need that InMed Pharmaceuticals, focusing on the research and development of innovative cannabinoid-based therapies, is working to fill. According to InMed, cannabinoid compounds have recognized analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing properties, which make them excellent candidates to alleviate some of the symptoms associated with this condition.
The company’s lead product candidate, INM-750, is the first therapy developed specifically for epidermolysis bullosa, being designed both to alleviate symptoms and target dermis imbalances that may ultimately provide a cure. INM-750 targets cannabinoid receptors in the skin to help accelerate wound healing, reduce pain and itching, reduce inflammation, and more. By upregulating specific keratins in the skin, INM-750 may also help reestablish the epidermal junction and essentially reverse the condition for patients with epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) – the most common form of the disease.
Earlier this month, InMed filed an international Patent Cooperation Treaty application for intellectual and commercial protection of INM-750 and a cannabinoid-based therapy for EBS. This marks a significant milestone for the company, serving as validation for its efforts to develop new therapies based on cannabinoids and its unique approach to drug development. The company is using a proprietary bioinformatics assessment tool to identify what bioactive cannabis compounds can offer the optimal therapeutic benefits, with limited side effects and a proprietary biosynthesis technology to manufacture and test these compounds in biological systems via in vitro and in vivo experimentation. These proprietary systems and its drug development pipeline are the company’s core assets.
