2018 was a year of milestones for the cannabis markets, including Canada becoming the first Group of Seven country to legalize recreational use and the number of U.S. states where medical or recreational marijuana is legal rising to 33 and 10, respectively, along with the District of Columbia. A watershed moment happened in the industrial hemp space too, with the passage of the U.S. Farm Bill 2018 removing the plant from the federal controlled substance list, effectively making it a legal agricultural commodity as of the start of 2019. Hemp is a variety of the cannabis sativa plant that does not contain any meaningful levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the marijuana component responsible for the psychotropic high. What it does contain is CBD (cannabidiol), a non-intoxicating compound of cannabis that is widely trumpeted for a litany of therapeutic benefits, including reducing pain, nausea, anxiety and inflammation. The legalization of industrial hemp will certainly make CBD one of the most active areas within the broader cannabis markets in 2019. As noted by CBD Unlimited (OTC: EDXC) Chairman and CEO Todd Davis in a recent interviewwith SNNLive, sourcing is something that consumers need to be aware of because there will be a battery of companies jumping Read more…

Findit, Inc., a Nevada Corporation trading on the OTC Pinksheets FDIT, is testing its under development native app in beta. The testing is being done in house only at this time. The company will be reaching out to certain people that are influencers on sites that include Instagram, Facebook and Twitter pre-launch to get input.

Gary Vaynerchuk is a well known author and has over 4.9 million followers on Instagram. We will be reaching out to other influencers as well as Tucker Carlson @tuckercarlsontonight who has been very outspoken about Facebook (FB) and Google (GOOG) and what they do with members’ data. Tucker has been saying how we need an alternative to these other platforms that are selling data and not providing an unbiased platform and we believe Findit meets many of the criteria that Tucker Carlson has been opinionated about the past few months if not longer. Findit does not sell members data to third parties. Peter Tosto stated, “Having @garyvee test the Findit App would be amazing, especially if he loves it enough to use it Read more…
Correlating Retirement Planning
The first step is analyzing the sources of retirement income you can anticipate, how much you can expect these sources to provide, and the changes—if any— you should consider making in the way you’re investing and managing your money. As you transition from work to retirement, you may want to rethink your approach to asset allocation, or the percentages of your investment portfolio you assign to different asset classes. Since your taxable and tax-deferred investments are held in different accounts, you may—like many people—have been allocating them separately, rather than as components of a single portfolio. That may work fine. But rather than owning several assets classes in each type of account to help manage risk, you may want to concentrate certain types of investments in your taxable accounts and other types in your tax-deferred or tax-free Roth accounts. So, for example, instead of owning equity, debt, and some alternative investments in both retirement and nonretirement accounts, you may want to emphasize equities in one and bonds and cash in another. Among the factors you’ll want to consider in making these choices are how any earnings will be taxed, whether withdrawals are required, and the rates at which assets have the potential to grow.

The Distribution Debate: Qualified or Non Qualified Retirement Plans
In a typical non-qualified plan, the contributions are NOT tax deductible. Examples are cash value life insurance and Roth IRAs, which accumulate tax deferred and can be distributed tax free. Qualified plan contributions are tax deductible, but taxable on the distributions. The query is pay taxes today or pay them tomorrow. To use a metaphor: Should you pay taxes on the seed or taxes on the harvest. If you’re in a low effective tax bracket with no employer contribution match, paying taxes on the contribution could be significantly better in the long run. Keep in mind you’ll at least have tax-free basis and if it’s a Roth IRA or cash value life insurance the gains could be tax-free as well. There are four financial products you should consider if you’re in a low tax bracket and ready to fund your retirement with tax advanced products. 1) Health Savings Accounts – Tax-deductible contributions and tax-free distributions for approved medical expenses and related health insurance premiums. 2) Roth IRAs – not tax deductible, but tax-free distributions with no required minimum distributions. 3) Reverse Mortgage – tax-free income from home equity loans 4) Cash Value Life Insurance – tax-free income from policy loans Read more…
How Indexed Universal Life Works
Indexing as an investment strategy has been around for a long time. The most popular is the S&P 500 Index, one of the top market benchmarks of our economy. There are several ways to purchase an index like the S&P 500: Options, Mutual Funds, ETFs, Annuities, Indexed Universal Life and Variable Universal Life. The last two are cash value life insurance. There are actually four types of cash value life insurance policies that, if designed correctly, can offer tax-free withdrawals to basis and collateralized policy loans of gain as long as the contract is kept in force for the life of the policy insured. The four policy crediting options use dividends, interest rate, indices and sub accounts to generate returns. You’ll need to undergo a risk tolerance test to select the crediting method best suited for you. Indexed Universal Life is one of the most popular product lines to offer indices, again both domestic and foreign. It’s generally structured to perform 200 basis points above the insurance company’s interest crediting rate. The insurance company buys options for a specific index; if the option is profitable the insurance company makes money and passes the gain onto the policyholder. Keep in mind Read more…
