It's the ideal tool to help you make quicker, more informed decisions for
managing and tracking your investments.
You might be interested:
BUY
They make medical supplies, signed a large contract recently and are doing well. They compete successfully with companies like 3M overseas. The stock is not very liquid because there is one very large owner. It has risen recently, but if you own it, you should hang onto it. They surprise people with good news, which shows up in the stock price.

COMMENT
Essentially health care dressing, bandages and things like that. They have a big entrance into the market when they won a big contract in Saudi Arabia but now there are concerns with all the problems with that country. They have a foot on the US side now as well. Revenue is very good. It is high risk as it is a small name.

RISKY
He likes their potential, especially with a $100 million project in the Middle East (although Canada's relation with Saudi Arabia is strained). They make wound bandages and compete against companies like Johnson&Johnson. This should be a good year. They are debt free and are expanding their business in the US. He would endorse the management team. It is a speculative buy until they can bring forward more contracts to monetize their cash flow.

WATCH
WEAK BUY
Bandages and dressings / wound care. They made a few miss-steps recently. An overseas issue has been addressed. They signed some agreements overseas and the revenue is not yet coming in. Even if the contracts don't generate cash flows, it is already in the stock, but if money comes in there could be upside from it. They are working in other areas as well. He likes the trade-off

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 08/18, Down 78%) They had a $100 million contract from the Middle East, but the revenue in the deal has been delayed. COV had huge promise and now it's Show Me The Money. The revenue delay is hurting them. Also, they had a recent stock issuance. But insiders still own a big chunk of this.

Supply every type of thing that a company would need in a hospital such as gowns, etc. These types of businesses tend to be very stable
