Ranked First in Viridian Capital Cannabis Stock Index Report for M&A

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mentor Capital, Inc. (OTCQB: MNTR) is pleased to announce that Viridian Capital Advisors has again this year ranked Mentor Capital first in its just released and comprehensive Viridian Cannabis Stock Index Report for early 2015. In their report, Viridian noted that in the Investments/M&A sector, “While most of the stocks in this sector fell, Mentor Capital (OTCQB:MNTR) realized double-digit gains, up 20.0% following a rally in early January.”

“Michael Swartz’s analysis of a ‘January effect’ whereby prices recover from year-end tax selling was particularly on the mark and seems to be a macro effect we see in play across the overall cannabis sector this year, also,” adds Mentor’s CEO Chet Billingsley. “Mentor Capital is pleased that our value focused investment approach has paid off in increasing book value and revenue per share which is now approximately double that of the Nasdaq Composite Index, which itself outstrips typical cannabis ratios.”

Mentor reports that to better showcase its value investing approach to its investors it will launch a value focused cannabis index of major marijuana stocks this year. “We provide liquidity at a very high multiple for the founders and backers of the private cannabis companies who ask to work with us. Mentor bases those valuations solely on multiples of sales, earnings, growth and cash in a predictable formula. Successful, confident owners and value investors alike are attracted to this comprehensive program and happily that seems to keep us on Viridian’s radar,” concludes CEO Billingsley.
