Wow, it’s a great day here in Baltimore. At InvestorPlace, we’ve all got a little extra spring in our step, the day after our big 10X Innovation Summit, in which over 17,000 people tuned in. I’d like to thank all of you who attended. This stuff really is my passion. So I appreciate everyone who made it such a successful event. I certainly tried to bring my “A game,” and leave viewers with plenty of concrete, money-making steps to take. I reviewed the 7 mega-trends I’m most excited about now (plus one bonus megatrend!) — and I also gave away my most recent stock pick for free. There's just one thing I would add today.

More and more pot stocks are making it onto the major stock exchanges — with two more coming soon: Flowr Corporation and KushCo Holdings. Now smart investors are wondering: Which will be the next cannabis company to get called up to the big leagues? I’ve got my theories. But there’s one factor that’s almost as important as a company’s ability to “uplist” to a major stock exchange... and that’s its business model. So today I want to talk about a little-known phenomenon that’s allowing tiny pot stocks to become “revenue machines.” It’s actually a bit of a misnomer to call them “pot stocks” at all. They’re more like Royal Gold (RGLD) — one of the most profitable companies in investing history.
