Today's Stock Scan Results and comments
Here are this weeks stock picks. My screener is set up to find Stocks that are LOW, but look like they will go up. Since I am a Micro Investor my scans check for stocks less than $25.00. I scan the TSX, Venture, and CSE exchanges.
THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION TO BUY!!!
These are my picks from this week.
CleanTech Vanadium (CTV) has been going down, but their project is reasonably sound.
Largo Resources Ltd. (LGO) had its price drop because the new financing deal had the shares valued at $1.20; again the project is reasonably sound.
Regency Silver (RSMX) has dropped for no reason I can find, after very good drill results.
AcurityAds Holdings Inc. (ILLM) is a reasonably large advertising firm that is undergoing rebranding. I have it on my BUY watch list.
Toogood Gold Corp. (TGC) Is a bit of a gamble. It has just come off a long run of not trading.
Working or Playing the market.

Wake up to Canada Canadians.

An Old lesson remembered.
I find it amazing, that it takes a while, before a lesson, given a long time ago, sinks in. I have had too many of those. I am just thankful that I eventually catch on. (At least to some of them.) This one involves researching individual stocks. About 35 years ago...
