The Nasdaq climbed as far as 0.79%, while the TSX inched up to 0.89%.<\/p>\n<p>Toronto was lifted by weed, gold and oil. Materials climbed 4%, energy popped 3% and healthcare exploded. Cannabis stocks soared, starting with <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/ACB-T\">Aurora<\/a> which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investors.com\/news\/marijuana-stocks-aurora-cannabis-stock-earnings-coronavirus\/?src=A00220&amp;yptr=yahoo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rocketed<\/a> nearly 67% on a Q3 sales beat. Silver and gold also sparkled, with <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/FVI-T\">Fortuna Silver Mines<\/a> glittering almost 20%. And oil bubbled as WTI jumped nearly $2 to $25.<\/p>\n<p>New York trading was slightly less dramatic, though still positive. <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/WMT-N\">Walmart<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/META-Q\">Facebook<\/a> both rose 2% while tech names like <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/NVDA-Q\">Nvdia<\/a> rallied 5.73%. Though indices were down roughly 2% from last Friday&#8217;s close, the markets are 30% off the late-March bottom. Also, WTI spiked over 7% to $30. The choppy week was due to comments made by the Fed&#8217;s Powell and chief health experts, sabre-rattling by Trump against China, and more negative unemployment numbers. However, re-openings continue across the States and the world. Also, there&#8217;s a general feeling that even though a second wave of Covid could hit, the worst is behind us and next time we will be better prepared.<\/p>\n<p>&#x1f33f; <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/ACB-T\">Aurora Cannabis<\/a> +67%<br \/>\n&#x1f948; <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/FVI-T\">Fortuna Silver Mines<\/a> +20%<br \/>\n&#x1f6d2; <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/WMT-N\">Walmart Inc<\/a> +2%<br \/>\n&#x1f575;&#xfe0f;&#x200d;&#x2642;&#xfe0f; <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/META-Q\">Facebook<\/a> +2%<br \/>\n&#x1f4bb; <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/NVDA-Q\">Nvidia Corp<\/a> +5.73%<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, you missed Past Top Picks comments by Tim Nash including New Flyer Industries Inc.
