Three hot alternative energy companies to keep on your radar
If you’re still into crypto it’s become a familiar refrain: another day and another dollar lost. The prices are down and consumer confidence is toast. Even some long term dyed-in-the-wool hodlers are wondering if maybe the dire prognostications about the death of crypto may come true. They won’t to be sure, but if the continual…

Fear and uncertainty at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference
Another Vancouver Resource Investment Conference has come and gone and my fitbit racked up somewhere around 30,000 steps over the two day event. I probably lost weight at the conference but I definitely gained insight. Sure. I’ll share. This year’s VRIC was punctuated by a fair amount of anxiety, and dare I say it? Fear,…

Three’s a Crowd: the inevitability of renewable energy
A Necessary Change We need renewable energy. This is a concept I have firmly understood for most of my life after witnessing countless natural disasters spurred on by the effects of climate change. The sheer force of flash floods in Waverly, Tennessee claimed the lives of 22 people while the prolonged devastation of California’s drought has…

Oil price to resume uptrend on EU embargo on Russian oil. $185 a barrel oil?
Rising oil prices have been the talk on the street. Both Wall and Main street. Investors and traders are betting on higher prices due to geopolitics, while main street is worried higher fuel costs will eat into their monthly income as the inflation and rising interest rates hit the middle class. I am here to…

Azincourt Energy (AAZ.V) advances uranium project in Athabasca Basin
Uranium is required for nuclear power plants. Like aeroplanes, when something goes wrong with nuclear – it’s dramatic – it makes headlines and burns into everyone’s brain. But judged by the cold metric of human deaths per Kilowatt/hour – nuclear reactors are 40 X safer than gas and 330 X safer than coal . Nuclear…

Uranium price retreats after printing 2022 highs. Is the momentum over?
Uranium prices are pulling back after posting new highs for 2022. Is the upwards momentum over? No. Commodities remain the place to be for the inflation trade, and uranium has many other fundamentals backing it that are not only supply chain related. Energy is going to be a big topic in Europe as nations such…

This Canadian infrastructure stock forecasts sizable growth in 2022
Finning International (FTT.T) is a Canadian infrastructure stock you may want to put on your radar. Sure, it isn’t sexy like most meme-stocks, but it is part of an invisible force that helps drive the structural progress of three continents. A silent soldier that soundlessly expands its business while paying a reliable quarterly 2.44% dividend…

Azincourt Energy (AAZ.V): A long time coming – Today’s Idea
Azincourt Energy (AAZ.V) formed on April 7, 2011. The junior miner has gone through multiple CEOs, properties, and name changes since. The long picture isn’t that pretty and if you only stood on history, investment in the company may seem counterproductive. Since Alex Klenman was appointed president and CEO in July 2017, he has been…

Oil and gas making a big comeback, time to invest? – Today’s Idea
Oil and gas saw some dark days in early March 2020 when WTI crude price dropped by 30% after Saudi Arabia and Russia got into a proverbial pissing match over oil production quotas. Things only got worse for the sector as the pandemic took hold further cutting demand until April when traders saw oil futures…

Solar energy stocks in 2022, a shiny opportunity? Today’s Idea
Producing electricity from solar panels in the 70s cost about $20 per watt and had approximately 14% efficiency. Even though people could envision a solar-powered future, it was too impractical to use on anything more than satellites. A lot has happened since then, as technology improved enough to minimize costs and increase efficiency where the…
