 and then now I'll introduce you. Ready, three, two, one. What's up, guys? This is Aaron from Partridge Capital and I wanted to touch on a really, really important topic. I've gotten a lot of requests recently about Andrew left talking about Namaste, all this negative stuff. So I wanted to bring Rich on because he's got so much knowledge. So welcome, Rich. How you doing, Aaron? How you doing today? I'm doing great. And I'm so excited to get into this with you about Andrew left and all of the crazy allegations that he's made recently with all these different companies. Let's start with Namaste. Well, Namaste, I believe, is a great company. I think they have a great future. I'm very excited about their success. They are up, I believe, around 1,000% in the last year. So you can't argue with their success. So from that perspective, they have been one of the biggest success stories in the last 12 months in the cannabis sector. Now, as far as Andrew left, Andrew left has a history of, he's done this now with CVSI. He's done this now with Chronos Group. He's attacked Tilray. He's attacked IGC. And you've seen- Yeah, just recently the article came out with IGC, yeah. And now he's attacked Namaste. Now, five companies in the cannabis sector that have all been going super, super high, super, super well, and Octane Fuel just exploding. All of them exploded, right? And he's talked about canopy growth, but he said he will not short them because they have an amazing deal with constellation brands. But I don't believe him. I don't believe anything he says, first of all. I don't believe anything he says, and I don't think if he says he's not gonna short canopy growth, that that's necessarily true. I believe if he sees an opportunity to short something, he will. And then if he gets upside down on a short, what he does is he then tries to investigate these companies and then determine whether or not he believes they are fraudulent in their claims. And he's done this now with CVSI and Chronos Group, which he's now in litigation with. He has multiple attorneys throughout America that are putting out news consistently about the fact that you can join the team of people that are suing CVSI and Chronos Group. So I find it interesting that every time he gets short on a stock, he sues them. Imagine if every time people like us that were retail investors that are buying stocks hoping for long-term future growth, imagine if every time a stock went down on us, we sued them. That's what Andrew Leff does. Yeah, it's crazy. I mean, what can you say about a guy like him? And then one day, Namaste goes up 20%, and then the very next day, he comes up with news trying to destroy Namaste. Yeah, he just put out that seven-page report. I don't know if you saw it or anything, but I think it's... I won't read his garbage. Propaganda, no, I didn't read it at all. I just saw the news article saying he put out a report. I didn't even read it because that's how much I don't believe it, so. Unfortunately, he's a very powerful man and he's attacking the cannabis sector. Yet, he's trying to talk about whether or not he should open up a fund in the cannabis sector. I wonder what the top holdings of that fund would be, probably all the stocks that he's shorted. And one thing about the stock price for Namaste, I mean, I think they're sitting great right now, and I mean, it's been unfortunate that the stocks had to drop so much due to all this publicity, but I think this is probably a great time to add to this great company. I believe it's just strictly a buying opportunity. I'm not saying that you should run out there and buy it today, because it seems as though every time I talk about something, people wanna run and buy it. Guys, remember, Rich TV Live is strictly for education and entertainment purposes. I am not a licensed advisor. Do your due diligence, please. Do your own research. Invest in the stock because you love it, not because you heard me talk about it. Please, I talk about a lot of stocks, and yes, I have a very good track record, but don't go and buy it just because I talked about it. Talk, buy it because you wanna buy it. Because you're gonna have to be the one that lives with the decision. Exactly. No, that's true. So yeah, like honestly, I love this whole industry. This industry's changed my life. I think this is one of the fastest growing, most exciting industries in the world. And to be a part of this industry, I feel blessed. Now, as far as Namaste, I think they have an amazing license from Health Canada, which I believe is the first of its kind. I believe that alone is worth its price in gold. Now, the fact that they are also building an online dispensary to sell to the entire world, I believe is revolutionary, and I believe they are ahead of their time. So- I love that they're international approach to business. They're in so many countries already, and they were in so many countries a couple of years ago. So I think they've got the right idea, and I love the fact that they wanna be the Amazon of the cannabis industry. Yeah, like, that's amazing. That's a good goal. If one day we see Namaste at a billion dollar market cap, I'll be very, very happy, right? So we know that Amazon and companies like Apple, Apple just touched a trillion dollar market cap. So what is possible for companies like Aurora Cannabis, companies like Namaste, companies like Canobie Growth Corp. I think the sky's the limit because they're just getting started. October 17th is the first day of legalization, the first. And it will only- It's just the tip of the iceberg though. That is correct. It's like, I try to give this analogy. A stock is like a baby. When it's a brand new stock and it does an IPO and it's the first day, it's like your first day that the baby's been born. You need to give the baby time to mature, to develop, to grow. Similar to a stock, similar to real estate. I like to look at a stock like I get, have to give that company time to mature, to put out news, to really grow in order to see returns. If I'm not willing to see those returns, if I'm not willing to see those revenues, those quarters growing and mounting, then I'm not going to see dramatic returns. That's why I am a long-term investor. Yes, I day trade for fun, but 90% of my holdings is long-term investing. And that's really, I mean like, you could start with, oh, I bought weed stocks like a few years ago and I tried to trade them, but then, oh, one day they went up 50%. So then I decided to not buy and then I missed the whole thing. And no, you just, yeah, you got it. If you want to get solid returns, you got to buy and just hold it. Add, yes, you can, like you said, you can have some fun trading, but I mean, the way that you make real money in the stock market is you're a long-term investor. I totally agree with that 100%. Warren Buffett, I mean, he's my idol. I follow everything he does. I listen to everything he says and he talks about it, invest in good companies. He does not, people are like, he says, people always ask me, you know, what do I buy for tomorrow, Warren? He says, I don't know. He was, I don't look at a stock for tomorrow. I don't look at a stock for next month. I don't even look at a stock for next year. I'm looking for 20 years down the road. So I started thinking, hmm, I got to think like that because he's the most successful investor ever. So I need to think like him and I stopped thinking short term. Like, oh, it's up today. I feel great. I'm the king. Oh, it's down today. I feel terrible. I want to cry. That's what people do, right? So I started thinking a different way and I came up with the strategy of when they cry, I buy. When stocks are down, that's what I'm buying. And everybody's crying, that's what I'm buying. I'm buying in the red, I'm selling in the green. And I learned to live in this world. And if you can learn to accumulate the best assets over time, you will be successful. Warren Buffett says, I invest in the American economy. I believe in the American economy and over time historically the S&P 500 grows. The Dow grows, the TSX grows. If you believe that all the indicators and all the markets and all the indexes are going to grow over time, then invest in a sector, I invest in the cannabis sector. I believe this is a sector that over time will grow. I have over 20 holdings, all in the cannabis sector. 16 of them are Canadian and five of them are American. I believe in this sector, when it goes down, I buy more. I don't panic, I don't get angry. I don't start calling these companies names. A lot of people do. I find that quite amateur, to be quite honest. Oh yeah, for sure. As an investor, you need to relax and you need to realize that there's going to be down days and there's going to be updates and the only thing that gives you that experience is time. Yeah, exactly. One thing about my channel, when I started it, I didn't start it with the intention of a trading channel. Like so many millennials like me, if they're listening to me, maybe they're young people but everybody wants the quick money, everybody wants to buy this stock and in two days it's up 50%. But if everybody could time the market like that, we'd all be millionaires. Exactly. It's great to talk about this stuff, the fun marijuana stocks and all that kind of stuff. But also I want to talk about the long-term approach to investing, even dividends. I mean, so many people, they're not excited about dividend-paying stocks but those stocks over the long-term also do well. So it's nice that we'll be able to talk about all this cool stuff, not just cannabis but I mean like of course it's awesome and it's exciting right now. So that's why we're talking about it. Yeah, you know, we're in the industry and there's a lot of exciting things happening in this industry. And I consistently am telling people that we are building a CBD company. This week my partners met with Naturally Splendid, NSP and we are going to be working on a video with them and potentially working with them to build distribution for CBDs under their licensed LP. So if you guys are interested, anyone that's watching anywhere in the world wants to get into the CBD business, we are going to be working with licensed producers. Naturally Splendid is excited about working with you, the people, giving you an opportunity to get into the CBD business, to change your life and be a part of this cannabis revolution. In addition to that, I do have some meetings with a few other companies, one today and one in a few weeks which I'll announce after the meetings, depending on how they go, which are large Canadian cannabis companies that are also licensed producers. And I'm very excited about those relationships and these are more than just investing opportunities. These are opportunities to do CBD distribution. These are opportunities to do interviews with these companies. These are opportunities to do videos of their facilities which I'm very excited about seeing myself to show you the people at home what these companies are really all about. So instead of listening to guys like Andrew Leff who are not actually going to their facilities, I'm going to go and fly around the world and travel with these CEOs and I want to see their facilities and bring the videos, the real evidence to the people at home. Yeah, that'll be great. I would love to do some facility tours. You should come over to Ontario. We can shoot all these places. Because there's- I would love to. There's so many. I would love to. I'm from Toronto, so yeah. We can definitely schedule some. Yeah, exactly. So maybe we'll be making some upcoming videos for you guys. One more thing. I know you got some really exciting news risk, so let's hear it. So yesterday I have made investments into High Times, HITM. It's not too late to get into High Times. Go to hightimesinvestor.com and you can set up an account and you can invest up to October 31st into the IPO. Yesterday I got on the phone and I contacted them directly and I spoke to the vice president of sales and they are very interested in working in some type of capacity with RichDB Live. They are interested in bringing the cannabis cup to Vancouver and yours truly may be working with High Times to bring the cannabis cup to Vancouver, Toronto, all of Canada. And who knows, maybe all over the world. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, I was pretty excited. I was excited for that. Yeah, I was pretty excited. So I called them as an investor and by the time it was all said and done we may potentially be working together. They are very aware of RichDB Live and in fact they said that a lot of their investment has been coming from the community within RichDB Live. So it was really nice to hear that and it's exciting to see that we have that type of awareness and we have that type of exposure now in the marketplace where people trust us enough and our credibility has grown enough that people would trust my judgment and say, hey, you know what? Rich made an investment into High Times. This might be a good investment. Now remember, I don't own High Times. I have no control over the company. I'm strictly an investor. I may be doing some work with them in the future. I do not have any business with them yet but if I do do something with them you guys will be the first to know. Awesome. Well, I guess we'll wrap this up. Thanks so much for all your insight and all your knowledge, Rich. It's always great having you and we'll definitely be bringing you guys awesome, a lot more awesome and full content. So, see you soon. Thank you so much, Aaron. I really appreciate the time today. Have yourself a great day, my friend. Have a happy Thanksgiving. Yes, happy Thanksgiving, everybody. Peace. All right, I'll stop the recording. So I think that was good. We can...
