The cannabis market reached incredible highs in 2016 in the US and in Canada. Here’s what some analysts had to say.
The cannabis sector was one of the hottest commodities in 2016, and it’s not hard to see why.
To get some perspective on how the marijuana sector has fared, putting it simply, it has been slow to take off–until recently. Over the last couple of years, the cannabis market has flourished from almost nothing into a $4 billion industry–in Canada alone–according to the Globe and Mail.
Looking over to the United States, a report by ArcView Market Research projected the cannabis industry to jump over $6.7 billion in 2016, and it’s only expected to increase from there. By 2020, cannabis sales in the US are expected to grow to $21.8 billion.
As such, the Investing News Network (INN) had the chance to speak with Alan Brochstein, cannabis stock analyst at 420 Investor, to see give a cannabis overview for 2016.
“I am glad to see the cannabis market look like it will finish positively for the first time since 2013, ending a brutal bear market from early 2014 to early 2016,”he told INN.

Een inzicht in de Amerikaanse streven naar wereldheerschappij, Chris Helweg
By Chris Helweg,
Een inzicht in de Amerikaanse streven naar wereldheerschapij, wat zijn de doelen, wie zijn de spelers, wanneer is dit begonnen, wat is bereikt, hoe gevaarlijk is Een korte blik voor geïnteresseerde mensen, wat een echt beleid is dat de VS de afgelopen 25 jaar heeft geregeerd. Ik ben niet echt een goede schrijver of vertaler, maar dit is vrij eenvoudig te controleren, oprechte feedback is welkom. Op mijn LinkedIn-pagina kun je de afgelopen jaren over mijn doel lezen. Waakzaamheid blijft noodzakelijk, ik hoop dit beleid transparant te maken door middel van deze publicaties. Want kijk eens naar het nieuwe budget van Donald's Trump met deze kennis in gedachten? Wat dan?

Chris Helweg:
Last year, for the fifth year in a row, the silver market
recorded another deficit; this time of 26.0 Moz (810 t).
Mine supply fell for the second consecutive year by 4%
in 2017, following 13 consecutive annual increases prior
to 2016. This was a result of years of Capex reductions
in combination with supply disruptions, particularly in
the Americas. With scrap supply contracting by 1% in
combination with net-hedging of 1.4 Moz (44 t), total silver
supply fell by 2% to just under one billion ounces.

Russia’s portion of the Arctic is known to hold at least 560 billion barrels of crude which is 2.5 the total in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, the lures of the Arctic region include deposits of diamonds, gold, platinum, manganese, nickel, titanium, coal, etc. which are mostly found on the territory of Russia. Importantly, the Northern maritime route is the avenue opening access to all of the above.
