Matt McCall is the founder and president of Penn Financial Group – an investment advisory firm designed to guide its clients toward financial freedom. He is also the editor of Matt McCall’s Investment Opportunities and Early Stage Investor . Matt has made more than 1,500 television appearances in the last 10 years. He served as the chief technical analyst and co-host of national radio show Winning on Wall Street , co-hosted daily investment show Making Money with Charles Payne on Fox Business Network, and contributed to the Fox News Channel. He has also traveled to multiple countries around the world sharing his next-generation approach to investing – namely, the idea that there are better stocks to invest in than the ones the rest of Wall Street focuses on. That includes marijuana stocks... Starting in 2010, Matt was one of the first analysts in America to cover over- the-counter marijuana stocks. Matt is on a first-name basis with the CEOs of the world’s top publicly traded marijuana companies and has a knack for identifying the most promising opportunities before 99% of the market knows about them.

Q: What first interested you in looking at the marijuana market? When did you start educating yourself on this industry? Matt McCALL: Seven or eight years ago, I asked myself, “What industry out there has the potential to grow to a multibillion-dollar industry outside of just technology?” Marijuana is the one that kept coming into my mind. At the time, cannabis was just starting to catch on medically. I started seeing some of these penny stocks creep up. And I started getting a lot of inquiries from different people about these stocks. Everyone who followed my work knew I always like to be on the cutting edge of what the next big industry is going to be. So I started seeing that happening and, just out of curiosity, started doing a little bit of a deeper dive into the companies. What I realized, at that point, was there was a complete lack of credible research and information available on these opportunities. I’d say 99% of the “research” that was out there was somebody pumping up a stock through marketing and then getting out of it. It’s similar to what we’re seeing with bitcoin now. You were a biotech company last week. But when you change your name to “Blockchain,” your stock goes up 1,000%.
