Water Ways Technologies (WWT.V) aims to tackle world water shortage head on
For those of us living in water rich Canada, the notion of a shortage seems like one of those ‘over there’ problems. We can easily justify ignoring it as something that’s distinctively not our problem, or if we’re perhaps a bit more empathetic and less callous, ‘yet another global issue we can do nothing about.’…

Idea for the future: Eastower (OVO.P.V) will be a 5G wireless ‘picks and shovels’ play
“What sector is hot?” is the one question I get asked more than any other. Well, okay, maybe “Why didn’t you respond to my text?” is the most asked, but the sector question is a close second. The answer can change by the month. We’ve had cannabis runs, crypto runs, psychedelic runs, mining runs, e-sports…

Kwesst Micro Systems (KWE.V) blasting off like a missile, hitting all its targets
Nobody really talks about defense as an investment opportunity in the Canadian smallcap space, primarily because the Canadian government isn’t perceived as being as much a free spender on defense tech as, say, the United States. Down there, where a military toilet seat might cost $2400, being in the defense sector can be a license…

Russian hackers go ham on US government agencies as Plurilock (PLUR.V) meets Homeland Security contract milestones
With US President-Elect Joe Biden having finally been, without any doubt, absolutely declared the winner of the 2020 Presidential election, Russia appears to be dropping any pretense that it’s not an enemy of the USA. With news emerging that multiple US government agencies and thousands of American businesses have been infiltrated by Russki hackers, security…

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…

Sierra Wireless (SW.T), Telus (T.T), Firan Tech (FTG.T) – 3 Canadian companies on the 5G ramp
Granted, it may not be intuitively obvious why a toaster-oven needs to converse with a rectal thermometer – but trust me IoT is a gigantic thing that will require the 5G network to run efficiently.

OMG! Tesla (TSLA.Q) to the moon! Wait, what just happened, OMG!
If you guys can’t spot a bubble by now, what day in February did you start trading exactly? Tesla (TSLA.Q) stock has been on a nutty run lately, climbing from the $200 range in October to $969 yesterday. Or, rather ‘..to $969, 15 minutes before the end of trading today.’

LiteLink Technologies (LLT.C): Using AI and blockchain tech to build the Uber of cargo
Logistics is not hot. Nobody is telling their assistant, “Bring me the hottest trucking deals out there, I have a hundred grand burning a hole through my pocket and I want it buying a semi trailer working the Moose Jaw millet run.” But there is money to be made in transport. Hell, between Lyft, Uber,…

AMPD Technologies about to go public: Holding last million of financing for little guys
If you’ve been reading this site for a long time, you’ll have heard us mention AMPD Technologies before. This is a company I’ve been a part of, in an informal advisory nature, for nearly two years, having met one of the founders at a Dungeons and Dragons game way back, and realizing his company would…

Rift Valley Resources (RVR.C): Rural internet through TV signals? Hmm..
Sometimes bringing on a new client in my line of work can be a tricky business. Because we stand behind our much ballyhooed commitment to present you unbiased coverage on the companies we write about, whether they pay for our attention or not, we sometimes have to deal with the experience of firms that aren’t…
