Investment Highlights
HESG announced in late October the appointment of Dr. Fred Aserati to spearhead the Company’s interest in exploring either applying for licensing of distribution of medical marijuana in California or seeking acquisition or partnership of existing medical businesses. Dr. Aserati has an extensive background in studying the government’s policy on the growing and distribution of medical Cannabis/Marijuana.
In a recent report, the Obama administration issued a new medical marijuana policy that is one more step toward legalization, as the federal government won’t prosecute medical marijuana if compliant with state law. HESG sees it as definitely one giant step closer to the legalization of Medical Cannabis/Marijuana as a Government supported legal medical treatment.
HESG recently announced that in addition to finalizing a consulting agreement with Medical Marijuana Inc. in its pursuit to enter the Medical Marijuana business it has also contacted several law firms in California and Colorado for purposes of licensing requirements for dispensaries.
Thomas Gaffney, HESG CEO, states, “That in addition to entering into a consulting agreement with Medical Marijuana Inc. we have contacted several law firms in Colorado and California pertaining to medical marijuana laws — basically the requirements of licensing. We have all intentions of entering the world of medical marijuana in the near future. We have also been in contact with some operating dispensaries about possible acquisitions.”

Technical Analysis
HESG is trading above its 50-day moving average. This is considered to be the sign of a bullish trend. There is added weight to this indication because the moving average is rising and suggests that there has been buying interest in this stock.
HESG’s recent volatility has been greater than normal. This is evidenced by the increased distance between the upper and lower Bollinger Bands. These bands measure volatility using standard deviation and a large width is due to high volatility. Additionally, HESG is trading above its upper Bollinger Band. Relative to recent price action, the stock is currently overextended and due for either a pause or retracement.
The MACD for HESG currently indicates a strong bullish signal for two reasons. First, the MACD is above the signal line, a 9-day moving average. Second, the MACD is above 0 which implies that the underlying moving averages are trending higher.
