Guru’s shortlist of producing and advanced stage ExploreCos (those with endgame potential)
“Ball of confusion, that’s what the world is today”. Back in January of this year, we presented a solid case for approaching the broader markets with extreme caution in a piece titled, A “skies the limit” stock market = a house of cards?
