Pump hard: ImagineAR (IP.C) is back to its old tricks, fueling a stock run on phantom deals and celebrity farts
I shot out of town for a few weeks recently, managing to get well drenched in a tent in the BC rainforest, and being without cellphone access for most of two weeks will teach a guy a thing or two about his relationship to the markets. It used to be said you should ‘sell in…

Fans Unite (FANS.C) to amalgamate with Askott Entertainment in $26m deal to build e-sports/sport betting giant
In baseball, the best trade between teams, it’s often been said, is one in which both teams think they got the better end of the deal. Today’s announcement between Fans Unite (FANS.C) and privately held but long considered public listing-bound Askott Entertainment appears to be just one of those deals. The pair have entered into…

Media Central (FLYY.C) announces end of journalism for alternative weeklies Georgia Straight and NOW
When a company shows up out of nowhere and announces they’re buying a newspaper, but that nothing will change if not for the better, that they have money and resources to compliment what’s already there, and that journalism will always be at the core of what they do, don’t buy it. It’s always a lie.…

Everything is up: Eat, drink, be merry… for tomorrow we die
When the history books are written on this passage of our lives, under pandemic lockdown and with once-in-three-generations levels of unemployment, they’ll note that in order to save us from economic collapse, the government printed trillions of dollars and just fired it all into the markets out of a bazooka, only to establish a decades-long…

FansUnite (FANS.C) sports book debuts on the CSE, pandemic be damned
We get a lot of clients wanting to be written about on Mondays because that’s when everyone drops their good news. I usually try to tell them Friday is the sweet spot, because they have less competition on the good news front (the Friday bad news dump is real), and their stories will be read…

The market is up, but it’s all theatre: Don’t let The Fed’s buying suck you in
Trust me, there’s nothing I’d like more, as the publisher of a financial markets-focused media outlet, than to tell you all it’s time to buy back in on these ailing markets. I’ve got clients who’d reward me well if I were to convince you that it’d be a good idea to buy their stock in…

AMPD, PAT, MTA, HIVE, MILE: Contrarian investing as the zombies climb over the walls
Okay, so the world is burning, the Russians and Saudis are pouring low-cost fuel over it, the Americans are shocked that a reality TV show host with a penchant for scams didn’t make a clever President, Italy is in total lockdown, the Japanese are thinking of holding a spectator-free Olympics, Israel is putting anyone coming…

AMPD Ventures (AMPD.C) management pulls baller financing move, fights off shorters
AMPD Ventures (AMPD.C) CEO Anthony Brown told a reporter yesterday he was looking to raise money for acquisitions and growth, with a $2 million raise announced a few days ago. Nothing weird about that. What was maybe a little weird was the flex Brown was pulling in the announcing of that financing. With his stock heading…

AMPD Ventures (AMPD.C) secures video rendering deal with team behind Rick and Morty and Teen Titans Go!
My favourite thing is when a company says ‘we’re going to do a thing,’ and then a few weeks later they announced that thing actually happened. That shouldn’t be a weirdly high standard but, in the public markets, it is. A few weeks ago, AMPD Ventures (AMPD.C) told the world it had completed work on…
