#PlaybyPlay; VFC (NYSE: $VFC) Adds Support for Employees and Announces Enterprise Protection Strategies, Torque Esports (TSXV: $GAME.V) Taps Into Global Audience with Blake Broadcasting Agreement


  
#PlaybyPlay; VFC (NYSE: $VFC) Adds Support for Employees and Announces Enterprise Protection Strategies, Torque Esports (TSXV: $GAME.V) Taps Into Global Audience with Blake Broadcasting Agreement

#Olympic Flame Removed from Display, Qualifying Athletes for #Tokyo2020 to Keep Spot in Rescheduled 2021 Games



Point Roberts, WA, Delta BC April 8, 2020 - Investorideas.com, a leader in investor news and research issues today’s edition of Play by Play covering what’s new in sports and e-sports headlines and recent news from publicly traded companies in the sector.

Listen to the podcast


Stocks discussed: (NYSE:VFC) (TSXV:GAME)

Apparel giant V.F. Corporation (NYSE:VFC) has announced additional employee support and enterprise protection strategies amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes a 50 percent reduction in CEO Steve Rendle’s base salary, a 25 percent reduction in the Executive Leadership Team’s salary and the assurance that retail employees will receive full pay and benefits while retail locations remain closed until May 3. Company CEO Steve Rendle said:

"Throughout VF’s storied 120-year history, we’ve weathered many storms, and each time we’ve emerged as a stronger company with a renewed sense of focus and determination. The full breadth of actions we’re taking in response to the COVID-19 situation are intended to not only address the challenges of today, but also to position our brands and businesses to thrive in the years ahead as we build on VF’s proud legacy."

Torque Esports Corp. (TSXV:GAME), and its tournament organizing arm UMG Media Ltd.,  have made a programming syndication agreement with Blake Broadcasting, giving them a potential global audience. According to the press release, “UMG's range of live-streamed esports competitions and series will now be shown globally on Blake networks across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.” Blake Broadcasting CEO Bob Blake explained:

"The live content pipeline, especially in sports, all but dried up overnight. Torque & UMG Gaming already had a strong portfolio of competitive gaming content, from virtual motorsports to traditional series and remote competitions. The quality of Torque's programming and deep experience and history made the decision easy.”

Olympic Flame Removed from Display, Qualifying Athletes for Tokyo 2020 to Keep Spot in Rescheduled 2021 Games

The Olympic flame has been removed from display, according to a report from the Associated Press. Originally intended to remain on display through April, the flame was taken down as part of the Japanese government’s effort to limit large gatherings so as to combat the spread of COVID-19. Organizers told the publication:

“Tokyo 2020 will now keep the flame in an undisclosed location to prevent people from gathering.”

Elsewhere the AP reports that the roughly 6,500 athletes who qualified for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo will get to keep their spots for the rescheduled games in 2021. This comes from an announcement by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which affirmed that “athlete health is the guiding principle in the scheduling of any remaining Olympic qualification events.”

Sustainable #Agriculture #Stocks Added to Directory; Also new stocks in #Sports, #Cannabis and #RealEstate


Sustainable #Agriculture #Stocks Added to Directory;  
Also new stocks in #Sports,  #Cannabis and #RealEstate 







Point Roberts WA, Delta BC, April 3, 2020 – (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global news source and leading investor resource announces its weekly roundup of stocks added to its global stock directories, including agriculture, sports, cannabis and real estate.


The newest companies added to the agriculture stock list are all involved in sustainable agriculture and include crop protection, environmental potash mining, increased food production and a food and agriculture ETF.

The latest sports companies are involved in esport/sports venues and a sports equipment/fitness class company.

The newest cannabis company operates in the US and EU while the latest real estate company is an REIT.

New Stocks added to Agriculture stocks directory:
Imaflex Inc. (TSXV: IFX.V) is focused on the development and manufacturing of innovative solutions for the flexible packaging space. Concurrently, the Corporation develops and manufactures films for the agriculture industry. The Corporation's products consist primarily of polyethylene (plastic) film and bags, including metalized plastic film, for the industrial, agricultural and consumer markets.  Headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Imaflex has manufacturing facilities in Canada and the United States. Today, agricultural films are used in the growing of fresh fruits and vegetables worldwide to cover soil treated with fumigants – volatile and toxic pesticides essential for reducing pests, weeds and fungi in the soil, thus supporting good growth of new crop seedlings. The original EPA approved ADVASEAL® (ADVASEAL® HSM), contained only a herbicide for weed control. The new enhanced ADVASEAL® under development also includes fungicides and a nematicide to control soil borne pathogens, thus becoming a complete non-fumigant alternative for soil disinfestation. With ADVASEAL®, modern non-volatile crop protection products can be applied more effectively and safely than with fumigants. The crop protection products are incorporated into a coating, which is then applied to a mulch film. Once the coated film is applied to the ground the active ingredients are released into the soil under controlled conditions, preventing the over/under-dosing found with current soil disinfestation practices. This new technology dramatically reduces the amount of crop protection products required. The catalyst to trigger the release of the active ingredients is soil moisture. When the film is applied to the soil, they are efficiently and safely discharged into the ground, resulting in heightened productivity, lower costs and notable environmental benefits.   

Gensource Potash Corporation (TSX:GSP.V) is a fertilizer development company based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and is on track to become the next fertilizer production company in that province. With a small scale and environmentally leading approach to potash production, Gensource believes its technical and business model will be the future of the industry. Gensource operates under a business plan that has two key components: (1) vertical integration with the market to ensure that all production capacity built is directed, and pre-sold, to a specific market, eliminating market-side risk; and (2) technical innovation which will allow for a small and economic potash production facility, that demonstrates environmental leadership within the industry, producing no salt tailings, therefore eliminating decommissioning risk, and requiring no surface brine ponds, thereby removing the single largest and negative environmental aspect of potash mining.

Nutrien Ltd. (NYSE:NTRTSX: NTR.TO) is the world's largest provider of crop inputs and services, playing a critical role in helping growers increase food production in a sustainable manner. We produce and distribute 25 million tonnes of potash, nitrogen and phosphate products world-wide. With this capability and our leading agriculture retail network, we are well positioned to supply the needs of our customers. We operate with a long-term view and are committed to working with our stakeholders as we address our economic, environmental and social priorities. The scale and diversity of our integrated portfolio provides a stable earnings base, multiple avenues for growth and the opportunity to return capital to shareholders.

The Defiance Next Gen Food and Agriculture ETF (NYSE: DIET) Defiance ETFs is a low-cost* thematic ETF provider focusing on the Next Generation of investors. The DIET ETF provides exposure to companies that are focused on technologies like alternative plant-based sources of meat, such as Beyond Meat (BYND), seed modification, sustainable farming and irrigation techniques.

Sports Venues of Florida, Inc. (OTCPink: BTHR) is a developmental stage company engaged in the business of eSports, and the development of youth sports and family entertainment complexes. The company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Shadow Gaming, Inc., has aggressively entered the eSports market. The Company has placed on hold its plans to building sports complexes ranging from 80-acres to 300-acres that will include both outdoor and indoor athletic competitions. In addition the company plans on operating a number of subsidiary companies from high tech data management businesses to product and support businesses.

New Stocks added to Cannabis stocks directory
Columbia Care Inc. (CSE:CCHW) is one of the largest and most experienced cultivators, manufacturers and providers of medical and adult use cannabis products and related services with licenses in 19 jurisdictions in the US and the EU.

#PlaybyPlay; Churchill Downs (NasdaqGS: $CHDN) to Temporarily Suspend Racing at Miami Valley Raceway and Fair Grounds Race Course, Malibu (NasdaqGS: $MBUU) Boats Taking Action to Ensure Stakeholder Safety



  
#PlaybyPlay; Churchill Downs (NasdaqGS: $CHDN) to Temporarily Suspend Racing at Miami Valley Raceway and Fair Grounds Race Course, Malibu (NasdaqGS: $MBUU) Boats Taking Action to Ensure Stakeholder Safety

#Tokyo2020 Olympic Games Postponed Until 2021



Point Roberts, WA, Delta BC March 24, 2020 - Investorideas.com, a leader in investor news and research issues today’s edition of Play by Play covering what’s new in sports and e-sports headlines and recent news from publicly traded companies in the sector.

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:CHDN) (NasdaqGS:MBUU)

Listen to the podcast


Churchill Downs Incorporated (NasdaqGS:CHDN) has announced the temporary suspension of live racing at Miami Valley Raceway at Miami Valley Gaming in Lebanon, Ohio, and Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans, Louisiana in compliance with local authorities to clamp down on risks presented by COVID-19. This news comes after the company had announced the postponement of the 146th Kentucky Derby, one of thoroughbred racing’s biggest events, until September 5, 2020.

Malibu Boats, Inc. (NasdaqGS:MBUU) has taken actions to “ensure the health and safety of its key stakeholders.” Malibu CEO Jack Springer explained:

“We are all navigating uncharted waters, as uncertainty in the broader macro-economic environment has reached unprecedented levels. In this moment, the health and safety of our employees, dealers and customers remain our top priority. As a result, we made the difficult decision to suspend operations at our manufacturing facilities out of an abundance of caution for the communities we serve.

Despite the volatility in the global markets, Malibu remains in an excellent financial position. To ensure we maintain sufficient liquidity, we have drawn just under $100 million on our current revolver to support operations and strategic investments in the event of a prolonged lower demand environment. Further, our historical commitment to operational excellence and vertical integration initiatives will allow us to withstand the downward retail momentum that is beginning to reverberate throughout the world. These strategies will allow us to remain nimble and align our cost structure quickly to lowered retail demand to preserve margins.”

Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games Postponed Until 2021

After weeks of speculation a joint statement from the International Olympic Committee and the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee have confirmed that the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games have been postponed until summer 2021 as the world battles to contain the Coronavirus. While the games have been canceled during the two world wars (1916, 1940, 1944), this marks the first time the games have been postponed or canceled in peacetime. An excerpt from the statement reads:

The leaders agreed that the Olympic Games in Tokyo could stand as a beacon of hope to the world during these troubled times and that the Olympic flame could become the light at the end of the tunnel in which the world finds itself at present. Therefore, it was agreed that the Olympic flame will stay in Japan. It was also agreed that the Games will keep the name Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020.

An article from CNBC, which was written before the announcement was made, quotes Oxford Economics’ Stefan Angrick on the “limited” economic impact of delaying the games.

“We think about it this way: The games raise economic activity by triggering construction in the years leading up to the event, and by boosting inbound tourism and associated consumption at the time the Games take place. As construction is complete, that impact is already reflected in past GDP data and won’t change.”

“In a hypothetical scenario without the coronavirus pandemic, such a step would have a significant impact. But considering the situation we’re in, with tourism coming to a virtual standstill and consumption set to decline, the additional impact of postponing the Olympics is fairly modest.”
