Singlepoint, Inc. (SING) Hopeful that New Administration Will Make Good on Medical Marijuana Support Promise

Mounting Support for Marijuana Banking Has Widespread Implications

(OTCQX: TRTC), OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp. (OTCQB: OWCP), ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX). Cash transaction businesses are…
