This past weeks Stock Scan Picks
These are my picks from this week.
A2 Gold Corp (AUAU) Is a Gold Resourse company with a large area in Nevada. It has 3 large projects in Nevada, and is backed by recent good gold grades and is backed by Kinross Gold.
Emerita Resources Corp (EMO). Is a mineral Resource company dealing in Spain. They had a recent court decision go against them so there is a knee jerk Selling. The ruling may not seriously affect the operation of the company. I bought them.
Trifecta Gold (TG) They have 3 very promising projects. They have very high gram /ton Silver assays on recent drilling. I bought them this week as well.
Minehub TechnologiesInc. (MHUB) They are a shipping and billing software company that signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a major player in the field. If it turns into a full contract it would be game changing.
ESGold Corp (ESAU) Is a Canadian Resource company that is advancing their Quebec Flagship project towards production.
The Results for last Weeks Picks
Here are the results from the week of Dec 22 stock picks. I only picked two winners. But we made money again this week. we are entering “Tax Loss Season”, So the market may be a bit more choppy this month.
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!!!
Comments
Lahontan Gold Corp (LG) Went up 8.5 cents. That might not seen like a lot, but it is a 60% increase in price. Not a bad return.
Sabio Holdings Inc (SBIO) Went up 5 cents. This an 18% increase. I think it will go up more in the longer term.
Charbone Hydrogen Corp (CH) Went down 5 cents. Not a huge drop, and fairly normal for a less liquid stock. It might take a while for the market to catch up with the news it is now a producer not just an explorer.

An Old lesson remembered.
