Mentor Capital CEO Discusses Marijuana Investment in Forbes Magazine

In “Why Legalizing Medical Marijuana Will Make Investors Extremely Wealthy” by Mark Fidelman

Business Wire

SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

Mentor Capital, Inc. (OTC Markets: MNTR) is pleased that on election day Mentor’s comments on marijuana investing and the important topic of marijuana legalization are covered by Mark Fidelman in Forbes Magazine. He writes: “Will the federal government’s tacit overlooking of the national cannabis laws continue?” “The process of stepped legalization has started and continuing prospects look promising.” “Two-thirds (2/3) of the analysts love the potential of the marijuana industry since the $50 billion market is already developed, albeit illegal.”

In explaining cannabis investment during this transition to full legalization, Chet Billingsley, CEO of Mentor Capital, Inc. reports, “Marijuana investors repeat the tale of Joe Kennedy in the 1930’s and how he amassed a stock position before the lifting of prohibition and made a fortune from the re-legalization of alcohol. Many public companies [including Mentor Capital] are copying this model. They are positioning to have market share and established market presence when marijuana prohibition lifts.

“This makes the analysis of public marijuana stocks an indirect art rather than a financial science. Like selling picks and shovels to gold miners, there are legitimate investment purposes today in the marijuana industry by those that supply land, extraction equipment, insurance, financial services, software, consulting and the like. The establishment of brand identity, without actually `touching the bud,’ as they say, is also key in establishing a footprint in advance of the lifting of marijuana prohibition.

“But, many other companies do little more than attach `canna’ to their name and must be suspect,” Mr. Billingsley warns.
