Canada Nickel Company (CNC-X)

Large, but low grade nickel project. Canadian assets are safe, but not a great option. Does not own shares. Could be good for traders, but not long term investors. 

CEO has a glorious history in the space. Caught up in nickel prices. For things to hum, need nickel in $12-15 range. General malaise in nickel, despite excitement around energy transition. ESG agenda. 

Near term, the nickel market will continue to be depressed. The market will turn 4-5 years from now. Not the lowest-cost producer, but will enjoy market favour because it's a Canadian company. Expects it to do well.

CNC recently confirmed widespread mineralization at its Mann Northwest property, confirming its discovery. But this was more or less assumed, anyway, from the company's earlier announcements in July. We would certainly keep it in the 'speculative' category. But it has a large deposit in a safe jurisdiction, and as the stock drifts lower it does become more interesting for small cap sector players.
