 So this has been one of the most requested videos on my channel to go through a stock with the ticker symbol HCMC This one is interesting. It's very interesting. What's going down and I thought I'd give my take on it I'm going to just give my honest view on it, right? Okay, so, you know don't come at me with any sort of hate because I'm at least I'm honest, right? And I'm giving my honest opinion on the on the stock and that's what you want You want integrity integrity on these channels, you know people that are going to tell you what how it is, right? So we're going to go through HCMC. Okay, we'll go through this So will HCMC really reach $1 and we've got a lot of talk on HCMC potentially reaching $1 or even anything close to that would see Incredible levels of gains. We are talking thousands of percentages of Gains on this stock if this was to do this and there's reasons as to do in this But I've got to say I'm not a financial advisor in my business teacher my dear life But I'm by no means an expert and if you could leave a like on the video, that'd be fantastic But again, this has been a highly requested stock and sometimes, you know I do like to read through the comments read through the messages that I get and I do like to cover ones that do come up Quite a lot as well. So I do like to listen to the subscribers. So this is what I'm doing HCMC, let's talk about it So healthier choices management Corp is what it is and it's a symbol HCMC And you can see the price here is at 0.0049 and you can see from the 10th of February It has had a massive run-up. There was a point where this was at 0.0000 1 or something like something like that, right? It was literally close to nothing and It's moved up quite a decent amount overall, you know, 52 week low was actually 0.00001, right? So there's a You know, it was incredibly low. So again, this has moved up a lot and if anybody got in this early They're already up a massive amount. So the downside for people who's got in this early or early ish Is a lot Less than the downside for people who would potentially get into this now However, there is a lot of upside and there is credit to this upside and I will go through this In this video, there is a lot of credit to this, right? So what do we know so far? So first of all, we know that there's an ongoing lawsuit going on. Okay And again, this could be a huge catalyst. For example, if they actually are successful with this lawsuit We could see this healthier choice management absolutely exploding in price On the ongoing lawsuit now there is speculation as to how likely that is to be successful or isn't to be successful You've got commentators on both sides saying that it could be so what I would say is is it's very speculative We don't 100% know for sure. Obviously that the lawsuit is going to be successful and we don't 100% know that it'll fail, right? So you've got to bear that in mind. It's speculative So when I would say what I would say in this stock is you know only put in what you're willing to lose But also put in what you would be pleasantly surprised as as a return Which could be in the thousands of percentage points if everything goes to plan for this stock hcmc So you've got an ongoing lawsuit going on You've also got a lot of investor sentiment I know a lot of people that have invested into this stock and you know, they've actually got in fairly early Which to me says that their downside is a lot less than maybe people that get into it now Which is why you've got to bear that in mind as well And then also there's brand awareness. There is just a lot more people knowing about this company It's been talked about a lot and there's a lot of investors getting involved with this company There's a lot of people that know about the company they know about the lawsuit So all the eyeballs are on this lawsuit and the outcome of this and what they're going to do going forward as well So there is a lot of interesting information There's a lot of potential catalysts to send this stock flying But again, it like what what would I say it could either drop like a rock Okay, and go back to basically nothing or it could absolutely Explored so it's one or the other Is what I think it's going to go for it's either one or the other There's no in between on this stock. It is it's dropping like a rock or it's going to the moon That's what you've got to think about with this stock. So bear that in mind This is not one that's Going to be giving you steady gains and it's a safe stock, right? This is a high risk stock But it's a high risk stock with a lot of upside potential But also a lot of downside potential. So just just really bear that in mind And I'm just trying to layer this out on a you know an honest approach here I don't want to you know hype up a stock and I don't want to You know just say this stock's amazing or anything like that I want to give you the honest answer to this In to say that this is very risky But if the lawsuit goes well, it could do really well as a stock and I think that look It could be worth an opportunity to put a small portion of your portfolio Into the stock to then see how it goes I can see why a lot of investors have done that because of the absolute massive upside potential But I wouldn't put a huge I wouldn't put it as your main position on your portfolio, right? Okay, but it may be worth putting just a really small kind of part of the portfolio in this But we'll go into the information fabric, right? So healthier choices management. So that's so in philip morris international Over a page it appears an infringement. It was originally filed in november 2020 But it's picking up steam thanks to post on reddit penny stocks Also wall street bets are covering this stock as well wall street bets reddit penny stocks So this is why this is also gaining steam in the sense that there's more and more people talking about the stock And it's just spreading around the investing community, right? There's also investors taking interest in the company as they speculate it could win the lawsuit Okay, and it's not beyond the realms of possibility. It could happen and if it does happen The the stock is going to the moon. Okay, there's no doubt about that But we don't know for sure obviously whether that will happen or not. It's just it could If so the company is seeking damages from philip morris international The lawsuit alleges that the pm infringed on its patent 170 with its iqos tobacco vapor product Healthier choices management is a company that focuses on providing customers with healthier lifestyle options It operates an 18,000 square foot grocery store It's likely that other businesses that had its battalions with philip morris international The company operates nine vape shops throughout the South east It does show various names such as the vape store vapor max vulcan vape and the grab bag And several patents in connection to electric electronic cigarettes So again, so that this is just a bit of background information on hcmc Okay, but the main sort of factor is this actual Um, you know this this suing that's going on this this court case that's going on right So healthier choices management. You've also got this never article This one is from seeking alpha and again. I want to have this balanced approach to the video. Okay So just to give it this kind of fair approach so you can look at it from both sides Okay, and you know, I don't necessarily agree with this article, but you know I'm going to put in there just for the balanced approach Okay, so they say the company operates several grocery vape stores and valued more than 800 million at the time of writing The business is unprofitable and healthier choice management is a negative work in capital of 4.2 million as of september 2020 The main driver behind the company's share price seems to be high retail investors Many investors seem convinced that healthier choice management has a chance to win a patent infringement lawsuit against philip morris Which I think is unlikely So again, even seeking alpha are talking about this particular stock as well And but they're saying that the lawsuit of them actually succeeding with it is unlikely But I mean you've got to look at your upside and your downside So your downside is that your money goes back to barely anything. So you put a small position in If they succeed Then your upside is Is is massive your upside is massive But your downside is is low if you if you've only got a certain Percentage in your portfolio on this stock anyways. So this is why I would say like put some In this goes with any like penny stocks like only put in what you're going to not be You know lose sleep over right put in what you you're not going to lose sleep over Because at the end of the day it's volatile and this is incredibly volatile But again, it's got a lot of upside potential as I mentioned It's it's not without its benefit its benefits and its value There's also this I found this dd From twitter So there are many negative views here stating that it's impossible for its hcmc to reach a dollar Too many outstanding shares is the usual Rhetoric apparently But what they're breaking down here is that it could move towards a dollar and what I'm saying is If the lawsuit goes their way, I think that that could happen Um, okay, and and then yeah, this seems like quite quite interesting here The lawsuit is seeking approximately 1.5 to 1.7 billion usd It's also very likely there will be a royalty payment for pm to continue its use of IQ IQ os technology pm does not want to take this to court They will have a very bad image even if it does win the case which is not likely legal issues being resolved in court Which will drive the stock price down investors will exit upon arrival of the court date It will attract more options and short sellers which will favor drive down the price by selling over court There is possibility that pm buys out hcmc This gives a lot of room for growth whether they continue the hcmc brand or incorporate directly to the pm brand Stock price will rise significantly So some interesting information there and again the price hcmc It's at 0.0049. Okay, so If you think of its upside potential It could be where for go on a really small portfolio basis But I would try and catch that because it's volatile I would catch it at a dip if you're looking to get into this again I'm not a financial advisor try catch it a bit of a dip just to limit your downside It's very very volatile It's very very risky But there's a lot of potential upside and that's the way that I would sum up this video, right?
