| Why Volatility Is Meaningless to the Long-Term Investor |
| |
|
"Conditions across the world’s stock markets became more volatile in 2018 following several years of relative stability. In fact, the S&P 500 experienced a second ‘correction’ (defined as a 10% decline from a peak close) in the same calendar year. The only other years this happened were in 1946 and 1947."
"Investors had and have lots to worry about including tariffs and trade wars, the outlook for global growth, central bank policies and political risks. In this uncertain environment, it’s easy to lose confidence and react to the latest news. Don’t fall into this behavioral trap."
Great insight from Tim Keating, President of Keating Capital Management in Colorado. In this week’s feature, we share Keating’s Q1 letter to investors, which includes great perspective for the average retail investor who may have been spooked by recent market volatility.

| Kathy Ireland Comments on Purchase by Level Brands (NYSE American: LEVB) of cbdMD |
| |
|
Kathy Ireland, CEO of kathy ireland Worldwide and Chairman Emeritus and Chief Brand Strategist of Level Brands (NYSE American: LEVB), commented on the company’s recent acquisition of cbdMD in a press release issued Monday morning.
Key Quote: "Over a year ago, we began to lead our efforts at Level Brands into the CBD business, through our kathy ireland® Health & Wellness licensing unit. Since that time, we have learned a tremendous amount about CBD and the potential positive health benefits of this compound. In December, the Farm Bill was approved, and CBD is no longer listed as a Schedule 1 controlled substance. We believe the CBD market will dramatically and exponentially expand. With this incredible opportunity before us, we moved forward into the CBD industry and purchased cbdMD, a premier and nationally recognized consumer CBD brand,” said Ms. Ireland.
“With the acquisition of cbdMD, we believe Level Brands now becomes one of the leading CBD consumer companies in America. The cbdMD brand is showing consistent month-over-month double-digit growth rates and, with our available capital, we believe we can significantly accelerate awareness, revenue growth and implement an aggressive expansion and brand positioning plan which we believe will yield continued significant growth rates. We believe cbdMD will continue to gain significant market share in this growing industry. Our goal is to make cbdMD the #1 consumer CBD brand globally,” continued Ms. Ireland.

Level Brands (NYSE American: LEVB) is a client of RedChip Companies. LEVB agreed to pay RedChip a monthly cash fee and 5,000 shares of Rule 144 stock for four months of RedChip investor awareness services.

Canopy Growth Corp. will spend as much as $150 million to build its first production facility in the U.S. after the Canadian cannabis company was granted a hemp license by New York state.
Key Quote: “I applaud the political leadership at the federal and state level that has allowed this announcement to become reality,” Canopy Chief Executive Officer Bruce Linton said in a statement.
The U.S. farm bill legalized hemp and hemp-derived cannabidiol last month, creating a rush among Canadian pot firms that were previously unable to enter the U.S. market. Canopy said Monday it’s been granted a license by New York to process and produce hemp and plans to establish a hemp industrial park in the state focused on extraction and product manufacturing.
