WTF is happening with: American Aires (WIFI)
Buying the pump can be a dangerous game, but no company on the North American markets right now is driving its pump as hard as American Aires (WIFI.C), a company that long time readers will recall from back in 2019 as a big ass pump that didn’t make much sense at the time, but made…

Alpha Cognition Inc (ACOG.C) has navigated the Alzheimers FDA process like a champ
People really don’t like pharma companies in Canada. We’ve had some monster megacorporations come out of Canada in the pharma space, and the biotech space, and a lot of them turned out to be robber baron villains with twirly moustaches looking to monetize mom’s ailments in ways that ensure the highest possible return in the…

Ramp Metals (RAMP.V) looks to hit the ground running and let the drill tell the story
When a new mining explorer shows up on the public markets, the company in question usually doesn’t start from scratch – they start from below scratch. That’s because not only is a new mining story largely unknown, but the company itself has to get past the stigma that all pre-drilling microcap mineral explorers are bullshit.…

Go time: A local electronics play that looks ready to have its moment
This will be a long read. Deal with it. The reason it’s going to be long is we’ve identified a company that we believe is about to pop off, in an industry it’s growing quickly in, having lived through some growing pains and figured out a lot of things. and become better as an organization…

The reputation of Defense Metals (DEFN.V) is so good, neighbours are spending money promoting it
“Respect the work.” This is a phrase every resource investor should have posted above their trading monitor, every day, for the rest of their lives. It’s the one thing that separates the real resource companies that have a chance at being something, from the pretenders who will go out of their way NOT to advance…

Bionxt Solutions (BNXT.C) shows how pivots don’t have to mean resets
Several years back, Hugh Rogers was in my office talking about his cannabis company. Way back then, the plan was to grow in Germany and be first on the continent, using an old wartime bunker as a ‘safe growing facility’.

Revive Therapeutics (RVV.C) finds multiple research options moving forward
In Canada, if you look backwards over the timeline, you’ll often find public companies have been other things back in the day. Risen, fallen, tapped out, rolled back, reemerged as a whole new thing.

If you’ve been around here for a while, like going back three years or so ago, you may recall a former client company in Perimeter Medical Imaging (PINK.V).

Lucy Loves Luchre: Psyence Group (PSYG.C) was always just a shroom chaser
The boss has told me to start running the rule over weed and psychedelics companies with a view to picking out anything that’s quietly profitable, or could be soon, among the general dross of both sectors, and to say I’m excited by that would be an overstatement. In general, cannabis companies are hamstrung by government…
