CBD oil is increasingly acclaimed for its benefits. Use as an e-liquid for vaping, but also as a dietary supplement to fight against stress or depression, CBD is everywhere.

Find out what its benefits are, how to consume it, and where to find it.

With some of the best online suppliers in Europe, British users can now easily find and order CBD flowers in UK. It has simplified the way to purchase high-quality CBD online, and we can now enjoy the best CBD oils.

What is CBD oil?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is part of the family of cannabinoids, a group of molecules found in the hemp plant, such as THC or CBD. We all have so-called cannabinoid receptors in our brains, which explains why these compounds have a more or less significant impact on the human nervous system.

CBD oil is extracted from the cannabis plant. It contains mostly cannabidiol, the concentration of which varies depending on the product. Today it is mainly used as an e-liquid for electronic cigarettes, as CBD oil to add in food and drinks, and CBD capsules.

While the hemp plant has been cultivated for over 6.000 years in China, it is only today that CBD oil is becoming more and more popular, as scientists discover many benefits for our organism. Indeed, unlike THC, another cannabinoid, CBD does not have psychotropic properties. For this reason, cannabidiol is also called “therapeutic cannabis”!

What are the effects of CBD oil?

Unlike THC, the effects of CBD oil are not harmful to our nervous system. CBD does not cause a feeling of intoxication or euphoria, unlike THC, and therefore no loss of control.

Conversely, it offers a feeling of serenity and a sense of relaxation. CBD is also found in recognized drugs like Cannador, Sativex, or Epidiolex.

To start with, CBD oil can help you fall asleep. If it does not have the effect of a sleeping pill, it will, however, cause your body to relax to promote falling asleep indirectly.

Likewise, CBD oil can help you not only to combat stress but also to regulate your mood. Indeed, CBD acts in particular on receptors linked to anxiety. For this reason, it is reputed to be a powerful anxiolytic and is effective in treating depression.

Note that paradoxically, CBD oil can help you fight against drug addiction since it will promote emotional balance while helping you overcome anxiety and stress, often overwhelming during withdrawal.

Finally, CBD oil can be used as an anti-inflammatory, especially in the case of Crohn’s disease, a chronic inflammatory disease of the digestive system.

How should you use CBD oil?

CBD oil is consumed orally, by placing 1 to 2 drops on your tongue or by adding them to your food or drink. The bottles sold are therefore often equipped with a pipette. After swallowing the CBD oil drops, leave it on for 30 seconds before continuing to eat or keep busy.

Please note, it is essential not to exceed 3 doses per day. If you take too much CBD oil, you risk increasing the relaxing effects and wanting to sleep! The ideal is to start with a low dosage and increase it gradually if you support it.

Also, CBD oil is not recommended for pregnant women.

Is CBD oil legal in the UK?

Cannabis derivatives do not have an outstanding reputation, in particular, because of THC, the compound which has psychotropic effects. European legislation is therefore relatively strict with cannabidiol. For example, any product containing THC is prohibited if the THC level exceeds 0.2 %.

However, products from Cannabis sativa seeds and stems are not prohibited in the UK, which explains why most of the CBD oils currently on sale come from them. Despite everything, CBD oil remains banned for minors. No law has been enacted regarding CBD oil, but case law prevails until European law issues an opinion on the subject, not always in a pleasant manner!

Where to buy CBD oil?

CBD-based products are very numerous: crystals (the purest form) for culinary preparations or other uses of this type, oil, e-liquid for electronic cigarettes, CBD flowers, CBD resins, etc. You will, therefore, have no harm to find CBD for your consumption.

On the Internet, you will mainly find CBD oil, as on the online store. You will find a whole lot of websites that are claiming to sell the best CBD products. However, you should only buy the best quality of CBD flowers and CBD oils.

Check websites such as Justbob.shop to find the right CBD products. As a leading company in Europe, this supplier from Italy is offering natural CBD flowers and great CBD oils. Also, they are following a set of many quality controls, and they are recognized by the Italian authorities, which means that they are well-known and that they are complying with local and European laws.

Scotiabank’s Metals Business Closure Could Impact Daily Gold Price Discovery SPONSOR: Labrador Gold $LAB.ca $RIO.ca $WHM.ca $SIC.ca $NXS.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 11:03 AM on Wednesday, April 29th, 2020

SPONSOR: Labrador Gold – Two successful gold explorers lead the way in the Labrador gold rush targeting the under-explored gold potential of the province. Exploration has already outlined district scale gold on two projects, including a 40km strike length of the Florence Lake greenstone belt, one of two greenstone belts covered by the Hopedale Project. Recently acquired 14km of the potential extension of the new discovery by New Found Gold’s Queensway project to the south. Click Here for More Info

  • We were already having a tough time getting the amount of physical that we require. I think it’s going to be that much harder – Sprott Inc CEO Peter Grosskopf

(Kitco News) Turbulent times of first trying to sell, then downsizing its bullion desk, Canadian Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotiabank) (TSX: BNS.TO) now appears to be closing its metals business, according to Reuters. 

Reports came to light on Tuesday with Reuters citing two sources familiar with the matter. “Scotia had a global call with all its metals staff and said it was shutting down its metals business,” one source said. “The plan is to unwind the metals business,” said another one.

The goal is to reportedly wind down all existing metals business by the beginning of 2021, the sources added.

The move could mean more challenges for the gold market that has already seen a supply crunch and wide price spreads between spot and futures prices, analysts told Kitco News. 

“The Scotiabank shuttering of its metals business is a sign of these historic times of markets upheaval. However, such is not a shock to the metals marketplace that has in recent weeks already seen many companies and mines so severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic,” said Kitco’s senior technical analyst Jim Wyckoff. 

“From my perspective the Comex futures market has at least temporarily overshadowed the spot, or cash, gold market in terms of accurate daily price discovery, given the significant slowing of spot business and spot market-making. Thus, the gold market from a price perspective will take this news in stride,” Wyckoff noted.

One fear is that spot prices could become less reliable, which could be a a big hit for the gold market that has already been struggling with a wide spread between spot and futures prices due to all the logistical issues connected with all the COVID-19 shutdowns. 

“It definitely will have an effect on price discovery. The less big banks that are participating in the metals markets, the less reliable those prices coming out of London will be, which we’ve already seen has been a problem in the past couple of weeks,” Gainesville Coins precious metals expert Everett Millman told Kitco News on Tuesday. 

The problem could be made worse if more banks like this close their bullion businesses, Millman added. “A lot of people are worried that Scotiabank is just going to be the first of many banks right now to kind of exit the metals business. We have to see if there’s a domino effect that exacerbates the problem,” he said.  

Another area of concern is some disruption on the client inter-phase side, said Kitco Metals global trading director Peter Hug.

“I would imagine Scotia has financing projects/lease agreements, metals accounts for their clients, as well as inventory financing deals with dealers. Scotia, I assume will attempt to sell these deals or handle them to maturity … Clients that may need new credit facilities, with other bullion banks or mines that have financing in place may be a bit nervous and are likely already looking for new options,” Hug said. 

The news of Scotiabank winding down its bullion desk might also add pressure to the supply side, said Sprott Inc CEO Peter Grosskopf. 

“We were already having a tough time getting the amount of physical that we require. I think it’s going to be that much harder,” said Grosskopf. “It’s almost the opposite of what’s happening in the oil market right now.” 

Other analysts said they believe that the nature of the physical market is not going to change.

RBC Wealth Management managing director George Gero said that the spot price was never really reliable because “it is not liquid and it is full cash, there is no margin.”

“Lately I’ve seen a number of banks move their trading departments or close their trading departments. A lot of it has to do with other things like Brexit. The problem of the traders all having to work remote from home,” Gero added. 

The character of investments has also been changing, he noted. “The problem with the trading of the gold is that it’s just changed a lot. But it will not affect anything because you have more central bank business and traditionally the central bank business is in the spot market.”

Back in 2017, Scotiabank tried to sell ScotiaMocatta, the world’s oldest gold trader owned by Scotiabank.

Unable to finalize the sale, however, Scotiabank ended up keeping its precious metals trading business but downsizing it at the beginning of 2018.

Only around 15 people currently work in Scotia’s metals business, Reuters said. Seventy-five percent of the employees are on the precious metals side and the rest are on the industrial metals side. Just five years ago, the unit had about 140 employees with offices across the world.

ScotiaMocatta’s history goes all the way back to 1600s when Moses Mocatta partnered with the East India Co. to ship gold to India. The operations were set up in London in 1684. In 1997, Scotiabank acquired Mocatta Bullion by purchasing it from Standard Chartered.

The DRC Should Become the Largest Mining Economy in Africa SPONSOR: Loncor Resources $LN.ca $ABX.ca $TECK.ca $RSG $NGT.to $GOLD $NEM

Posted by AGORACOM at 10:07 AM on Wednesday, April 29th, 2020

Sponsor: Loncor, a Canadian gold explorer controlling over 3.6 million high grade ounces outside of a Barrick JV. The Ngayu JV property is 200km southwest of the Kibali gold mine, operated by Barrick, which produced 814,000 ounces of gold in 2019. Barrick manages and funds exploration at the Ngayu project until the completion of a pre-feasibility study on any gold discovery meeting their Tier One investment criteria.

“Investment appetite in the resources sector is low and investment hurdles have been raised which means that only the best investment jurisdictions, like the Democratic Republic of Congo, will receive much needed investment for growth.”

This is according to Dr Tony Harwood, president and CEO of Montero Mining and Exploration.

“The slow-down in the global economy has depressed metal prices and the advent of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) has also exacerbated this, bringing many countries into a negative growth and some in recession,” Dr Harwood, who is also an ambassador for DRC Mining Week, continues.

In addition, the implementation of the new DRC mining legislation has caused concerns with existing investors and potentially new foreign investors to the DRC.

Despite these challenges progress made on some very exciting mining and exploration projects, notably developments of the world class Kamoa-Kakula copper project and Kipushi zinc project, notes Harwood.

“Other highlights for the DRC include the development of the high grade Bisie Tin project as well as seeing gold production being achieved at Kibali gold mine,” Harwood points out.

Positive approach needed

In addressing the challenges surrounding the country’s divisive mining legislation Harwood encourages current investors to discuss changes in a positive manner with government for an equally equitable solution for both parties.

Harwood believes the development of the Kamoa-Kakula copper project will open the Katanga province and encourage further exploration and development not only in this area but the country as well.

“Its success will aid greatly in the development of the DRC mining sector not only from a production perspective but also by increasing employment, skills transfers, taxes paid, infrastructure development both in the DRC and in neighbouring countries,” states Harwood.

Looking to the future Harwood is adamant good mining legislation with investor incentives will boost local capital and entice foreign investors will ensure growth and if the DRC gets this right it will become the largest mining economy in Africa.

Harwood founded and listed the company on the TSX Venture exchange. He is also a non-executive director of private and public companies largely operating in Africa. In all he has listed three companies over the last 10 years all of which operate in Africa from a base in Africa.

Between 2006 and 2009 he was the President and CEO of Africo Resources, a company attempting to develop a high-grade coper project in Katanga.

During the exploration and development period the company entered various cooperative community development programmes with local villages surrounding the project.

These programmes largely revolved around agriculture and the company assisted in setting up community co-operatives for growing vegetables to be sold to the company and the surrounding communities. “In addition, we also set up health screening initiatives with the DRC health administration in and around our project area,” explains Harwood.

“In 2007 to 2008 we also distributed 328 wheelchairs for children. These had been designed for use in the country and had thick rubber tyres – this brought children a new mobility and enabled them to get to school and participate in their communities,” he concludes.

  • SlapItOn is owned by an elite group of professional athletes including Mike Vanderjagt,Troy Aikman, Mike Modano, Johnny Damon, Steve Smith and Cobi Jones.

Why ImagineAR?

(IP:CSE) (IPNFF:OTCQB)

  • ImagineAR Has Already Started Commercializing Its Augmented Reality Platform

  • Enables businesses of any size to create and implement their own AR campaigns with no programming or technology experience
  • ImagineAR is now well positioned to further commercialize and capitalize on massive demand for Augmented Reality

WHAT IS AUGMENTED REALITY?

AR is going to dominate our daily lives sooner than you think. Why else do you think Tim Cook is so bullish?  But it’s still a new concept that most people haven’t seen yet, so let’s use a basic example. 

An ImagineAR client (i.e. Sacramento Kings) tells its fans to simply point their mobile device at something (i.e. Sacramento Kings Logo) and watch their phone come to life (i.e. a player posing for a picture, a mascot dancing, collecting a reward – the possibilities are endless). 

The result is that mobile phones can now be used to engage fans way beyond simple social media by bringing their worlds to life.  In the Sacramento Kings example above, fans at home can do the exact same thing and have a player appear right in their living rooms!  

ImagineAR clients can use logos, signs, buildings, products, landmarks and more to instantly engage with videos, information, advertisements, coupons, 3D holograms and any interactive content.

The best part?  Customers don’t need a big, expensive tech team to deploy ImagineAR.  The Company’s “AR-as-a-Service” Platform enables businesses of any size to create and implement their own AR campaigns with no programming or technology experience.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AUGMENTED REALITY AND VIRTUAL REALITY?

We knew some of you may have been thinking this, so here’s a quick and easy answer.

AR uses your existing environment and overlays new information (as in the example above). 

VR creates a completely new virtual environment (i.e. a sci-fi fantasy world).

SEEING IS BELIEVING!

Now that you have a baseline understanding of the power of AR, the next thing to do is see it for yourself. Watch these videos of ImagineAR in action and with some really happy users.

Is the #Esports business immune to COVID-19? – SPONSOR Esports Entertainment Group $GMBL $TECHF $ATVI $TTWO $GAME $EPY.ca $FDM.ca $TNA.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 6:14 PM on Tuesday, April 28th, 2020

SPONSOR: Esports Entertainment Group (GMBL:NASDAQ) – Millions of people from around the world tune in to watch teams of video game players compete with each other. In first quarter 2020, YouTube reported 1.1 billion hours watched, an increase of 13% when compared to fourth quarter 2019. Wagering on Esports is projected to hit $23 BILLION this year although that number will likely be eclipsed due to the recent pandemic. Esports Entertainment Group is the next generation online gambling company designed for the purpose of facilitating as much of this wagering as possible.  LEARN MORE.

Is the eSports business immune to COVID-19?

  • Where traditional sports are now dark, eSports have become the only competitive field available in the age of social distancing.
  • Worldwide now, people are spending more time playing video games than streaming videos or hanging out on social media sties, a revelation that speaks to the relative immunity of e-sports to COVID-19, according to Goff, who pointed out that Verizon reported gaming peak hour traffic increased by 75 per cent during the first week of lockdown in North America versus a 12-per-cent increase in video watching and no bump for social media.

by Jayson MacLean

With major league sports taking a time out due to COVID-19, eSports is now the hottest game in town, according to a new report from Echelon Wealth Partners analyst Rob Goff, who writes that gamblers and casinos are turning to e-sports as a way to fill the void.

The coronavirus pandemic has done a number on many sectors of the economy but perhaps nowhere is more of a ghost town than major league sports, leaving literally billions of fans with nothing to cheer for aside from computer simulations featuring their favourite teams and players and, of course, an end to the health crisis itself.

But where traditional sports are now dark, eSports have become the only competitive field available in the age of social distancing. Worldwide now, people are spending more time playing video games than streaming videos or hanging out on social media sties, a revelation that speaks to the relative immunity of e-sports to COVID-19, according to Goff, who pointed out that Verizon reported gaming peak hour traffic increased by 75 per cent during the first week of lockdown in North America versus a 12-per-cent increase in video watching and no bump for social media.

All of which is good news for the gaming companies, Goff said.

“The growth in the esports is acting as a catalyst for the gaming companies,” Goff wrote. “The increase in gaming related spending is close to online grocers driven by ongoing social distancing norms. We have seen double digit growth in the shares of Electronic Arts (+32 per cent), Take-Two Interactive (+27 per cent), Super League Gaming (+31 per cent), Sea Limited (+42 per cent), Bilibili (+50 per cent) in the last one month.”

Goff said that spending on digital games reached its highest monthly total ever in March, with growth in areas such as premium console sales and PC revenue altogether raising digital games revenue to $10.0 billion worldwide for March, up 11 per cent year-over-year and up eight per cent from February. At the same time, Twitter reported a 71 per cent jump in conversation about e-sports and gaming during the second half of March.

The rise in interest has propelled a number of stocks forward, Goff said, including two small Canadian companies, Fandom Sports Media (Fandom Sports Media Stock Quote, Chart, News CSE:FDM) and New Wave Esports (New Wave Esports Stock Quote, Chart, News CSE:NWES) whose share prices have shot up 5x and 2x, respectively.

At the same time, not all e-sports verticals are performing well, as those such as Activision-Blizzard’s Overwatch League depend on in-person events at arenas for their success.

Still, Goff points to gambling and casino interest in e-sports as another takeaway from the COVID-19 era. As evidence, the analyst pointed to Nevada’s Gaming control board which recently approved wagers on five e-sports leagues and the anticipated bet traffic for the three-day virtual NFL draft 2020.

“E-sports betting has benefitted from both sports postponements and temporary casino closures,” Goff wrote. “The lack of traditional sports betting markets has pushed some bookmakers, including William Hill, into esports as a possible solution to recoup lost revenues.”

Palladium Weekly: Uptrend Set To Prevail This Year

  • We continue to believe that palladium benefits from the tightest fundamental backdrop, with the market likely to post a meaningful deficit in 2020 despite a contraction in automotive demand.
  • The negative seasonality in May-June could lead to some palladium price weakness, which we would view as a buying opportunity.

Thesis

Welcome to Orchid’s Palladium Weekly report, in which we discuss palladium prices through the lenses of the Aberdeen Standard Physical Palladium Shares ETF (PALL).

PALL has come under downward pressure since the start of April, despite a strong performance across the rest of the precious metals space.

The recent underperformance of palladium is driven by three main factors:

  1. Less exposure to South African PGM production disruptions
  2. More sensitivity to the recession in the automotive sector
  3. Less safe-haven demand

However, we continue to believe that palladium benefits from the tightest fundamental backdrop, with the market likely to post a meaningful deficit in 2020 despite a contraction in automotive demand for PGMs.

As a result, we expect the uptrend in PALL to prevail this year and next.

For Q2, we see PALL trading between $170 and $285 per share, implying a risk/reward skewed to the upside.

About PALL

For investors seeking exposure to the fluctuations of palladium prices, PALL is an interesting investment vehicle because it seeks to track spot palladium prices by physically holding palladium bars, which are located in JPM vaults in London and Zurich. The vaults are inspected twice a year, including once randomly.

The Fund summary is as follows:

PALL seeks to reflect the performance of the price of physical palladium, less the Trust’s expenses.

Its expense ratio is 0.60%. In other words, a long position in PALL of $10,000 held over 12 months would cost the investor $60.

Liquidity conditions are poorer than that for platinum. PALL shows an average daily volume of $3 million and an average spread (over the past two months) of 0.33%.

Speculative positioning

Source: CFTC, Orchid Research

The speculative community slashed by the equivalent of ~2 koz its net long position in NYMEX palladium in the week to April 21, according to the CFTC. The NYMEX palladium price sold off by 6.3% over the corresponding period, suggesting the presence of additional selling pressure stemming from the OTC market and the physical market.

Since the start of the year, the speculative community has sold the equivalent of 1.053 moz of net long positions in NYMEX palladium, representing around 15% of annual supply. Despite this, the NYMEX palladium price is still up nearly 6% YTD. This highlights the fundamental strength in the physical market.

Because palladium’s spec positioning is very light (the net spec length is at just 10% of open interest), there is plenty of room for speculative buying pressure in case of a positive swing in sentiment among the speculative community.

Implications for PALL: The current spec positioning in NYMEX palladium is a potential bullish force for palladium prices due to the ample dry powder available to deploy among the speculative community. A renewed wave of spec buying in NYMEX palladium would push the NYMEX palladium price much higher, thereby boosting PALL in the process.

Investment positioning

Source: Orchid Research

ETF investors bought around 3 koz of palladium in the week to April 24, marking the 2nd week of net buying.

Given the weakness in automotive demand for palladium due to the COVID-19 crisis, the re-emergence of palladium ETF buying could help underpin the uptrend in the NYMEX palladium price. That said, we contend that it is too early to assert that a sustained positive change in investor sentiment toward palladium has occurred this month.

ETF investors have sold roughly 193 koz since the start of the year, marking a 28% decline in palladium ETF holdings.

Once again, despite the contraction in ETF demand for palladium, the NYMEX palladium price is up on the year. This shows the extent to which the physical palladium market is tight.

Implications for PALL: A resumption of ETF inflows in palladium would be bullish for the NYMEX palladium price and thus PALL.

Automotive demand

Last week, we discussed the supply side of the palladium market. This week, we discuss the outlook for automotive demand for palladium.

Source: Johnson Matthey

Palladium demand from the automotive industry represents around 85% of gross palladium demand, according to Johnson Matthey.

JP Morgan predicts a contraction of 13% in global light vehicle production this year, including a contraction of 25% YoY in the first quarter. In Q1, JP Morgan estimates that Chinese production contracted by 50% YoY while production dropped by 17% YoY both in North America and Europe.

This would translate into a decline of roughly 7% in automotive demand for palladium this year.

Source: JPM

Implications for PALL: The contraction in automotive demand for palladium should be largely offset by the contraction in palladium mine supply in 2020. As such, the palladium market is likely to remain in a meaningful deficit this year and post an even deeper deficit next year. As the fundamental tightness in the physical palladium market is set to prevail, we believe that the uptrend in PALL is intact for this year and next.

Closing thoughts

We expect the uptrend in PALL to prevail in 2020 and next year, principally because the palladium market is expected to post a meaningful deficit in spite of the recession in the automotive industry.

The extremely low level of visible inventories is likely to intensify the positive impact on palladium prices.

Given the negative seasonality in May-June, we stand ready to buy the dips in case of a retest of the recent lows.

For Q2, we see PALL trading between $170 and $285 per share, implying a risk/reward skewed to the upside.
