Biosynthesis: Making the Impossible Possible in Medicinal Cannabis

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The U.S. pharmaceutical industry is pocked with pitfalls that make it difficult for the development of cannabis-based drugs. To receive FDA approval, drug manufacturers must produce a consistent, pharmaceutical-grade product. Drug researchers with cannabis-based candidates are largely dependent on cannabis producers to access their drug raw materials. And therein lies the issue. The cannabis production sector has had its share of product recalls, and is saddled with pricey cost of commercial cultivation. The roadblocks are considerable - from legal and execution standpoints - making these efforts not quite impossible but certainly, currently, difficult. Canada-based biopharmaceutical company InMed…

Electric Vehicles Demand & Ethical Concerns of Congo Present Opportunity for Cobalt Companies focused on North America

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: In July 2017, France and Britain declared their intention to prohibit the sale of cars operating on fossil fuels by 2040 (http://nnw.fm/PnY5f), opening the door for automotive manufacturers to focus their future developments on electric vehicles (EVs). Cobalt is a critical element of the lithium-ion batteries used in EVs, and investors are starting to take notice that increasing demand for electric cars will likely push cobalt into a supply deficit, sending prices of the metal higher.

Backwardation in Zinc Market Signals Strong Demand and Tightening Supplies

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Zinc is in a bull market. Over the past two years, global supplies of the metal have fallen by 3-4% while demand has continued to rise. In recent months, the resulting price increases have been accelerating. One-year spot zinc trading at $1,000 per pound in June 2017 is now near $1,500 per pound, according to KITCO data (http://nnw.fm/53yPa). That 50-percent increase has led to a market condition known as backwardation, when spot prices rise above current futures prices. With backwardation signaling strong demand and tightening supplies, proactive miners like Zinc One Resources, Inc. (OTC: ZZZOF) (Z.CA) (Zinc…

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: In late October, President Donald Trump called the ongoing opioid epidemic the “worst drug crisis in American history” before declaring it a public health emergency and pledging the nation’s full resolve in overcoming it. These efforts could mark a changing of the tides as they relate to opioid painkillers, and Big Pharma is already eyeing its next moves.

Highly Anticipated Game Releases Could Heat Up Investor Interest in the Mobile Gaming Sector

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The video games market is a unique one in that the success of individual companies is primarily driven by the release of hit games, leading to significant ebb and flow as new games are either embraced or panned by players. For this reason, many have long considered mobile gaming companies to be poor candidates for venture capital funding. However, there are always exceptions, and various mobile gaming stocks have proven their strength and longevity in the marketplace. Players like Tapinator, Inc. (OTCQB: TAPM) (Tapinator Profile), Nintendo Co., Ltd. (ADR) (OTC: NTDOY), Zynga, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZNGA), Glu Mobile,…

Soaring Zinc Price, Mounting Supply Deficit Create Opportunity for Sector Operators

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Zinc supplies are dwindling, and spot prices are soaring. Futures look robust, as well, and, despite a minor pullback toward the end of the week of October 23, there appears to be a stable forward price trajectory for the foreseeable future. As fundamental drivers such as China’s reduced production of mined and refined zinc loom large, the upside for smaller sector participants such as Vancouver-based Zinc One Resources, Inc. (OTC: ZZZOF) (TSX.V: Z) (Zinc One Profile) is now coming sharply into focus, and there is still plenty of upside for other sector players like Vedanta (NYSE: VEDL),…
