Zoomaway Travel (ZMA.V): The antithesis of Priceline
Let’s set the scene. You’re a hotel owner. Nothing too swish, just a nice little getaway location off the truck stop, a half mile from the lake and another half from the golf course. There’s a Raddisson down the highway some and a Motel 6 up the road and the Holiday Inn Express is at…

Namaste Technologies (N.C): Vapes, but real
I have never given Namaste Technologies (N.C) the time of day previously. There’s a good reason for that, and it’s the reason I’ve given several other companies short shrift in the last several months. That reason is ‘vapes’. Man, do I hate vapes. Vapes can shampoo my crotch. What has two thumbs and thinks vapes…

Patriot One Technologies (PAT:V): The first ‘Trump Presidency’ play on the Venture
When Donald Trump won the US Presidential election (hack, ptooey), the markets plummeted. Then they jumped. Frankly, the markets didn’t know what to do with themselves, and still don’t. Will Trump’s pick for AG, Jeff Sessions, kill the marijuana industry? Will oil and gas come back with pipelines aplenty, or will that create an oversupply…

Southern Lithium (SNL.V): The other side of the volcano
Imagine this, if you will: It’s thousands, maybe tens of thousands of years ago. In a swamp in the Pocitos salar basin in Argentina, bubbles rise to the surface. Hot bubbles. Over the millenia to follow, those bubbles would give way to land, then a mountain, then a mountain spewing forth raging hot magma. Back…

ALIX RESOURCES (AIX.V): Lithium is still a thing, you know
Let’s talk lithium. No, YOU shut up. For real, what a difference a few months makes. You guys couldn’t get enough of lithium in February, with company after company roping off whatever dried river bed they could get their hands on so they could claim they would be Tesla’s houseboy going forward. Anything Frank Giustra…

The ‘big boy pants’ weed play that owns one of everything
If you’re reading this, you should know that subscribers to our newsletter got it before you. Sign up at the top of your screen. November is going to be bat shit crazy if you’re buying and selling weed stocks, and October is already halfway there. You can take early 2014’s Mining-to-Pot diaspora and toss it…

Moneyball pick: Iplayco (IPC.V) quietly doing big sales in kids playgrounds
I’m a big proponent of Moneyball thinking. That is, the theory, espoused most famously by the Oakland Athletics baseball team, that you can make a great living look for undervalued assets that the market has, for whatever reason, completely missed. The Athletics use it to find ‘island of misfit toys’ players that will hit about…

LOOPShare (LUP.C) goes public with scooter sharing plan
You may recall my talking about a little startup called LOOP a few months back that has plans to open scooter sharing programs around the world, starting with Vancouver, London and Beirut. If not, you’ll find it here. More press landed earlier in the year at VanCityBuzz. No, it’s not this Loop scooter: It’s an…

Veritas Pharma (VRT.C) lays its cards on the table
When I was running the editorial show at Stockhouse, I had reason to look over a lot of messageboards for a wide variety of public companies. Almost without fail, you could bet that any given messageboard would be faced with two problems. This is how good companies end up with bad stock charts. They lose…

Equitas Resources (EQT.V) producing, exploring, rinse, repeat
The standard practice, when starting a mining company, is to raise as many millions as you can up front, stick a few holes in the ground until those millions are gone, and hope the holes demonstrate why you should be given more millions to make more holes. And maybe, if after three years of poking holes…
