Friday markets were about the flatline or the red, but rose in the dying minutes to finish modestly positive. The S&P and Nasdaq gained around 0.5% while the TSX rose 0.37% and the Dow closed flat after being negative most of the day. The TSX made a new closing high. It was a choppy week, with the Nasdaq and TSX both inching up around 1.7% after hitting recent all-time highs amid positive earnings and the ongoing Reddit short-selling.<\/p>\n
Friday saw a relatively quiet session. In Canada, Ottawa<\/a> greenlit the Air Canada<\/a> acquisition of Air Transat<\/a>, and the airlines soared 5.33% and 13.12% respectively. AC did report a net loss for 2020 of $4.65 billion (vs. a profit of $1.48 billion the year before). Oil made new one-year highs as the price of WTI gushed over 2% to almost $60. Many energy names, such as Birchcliff<\/a> at 8% and Vermilion<\/a> at 5.87%, rallied. Cannabis names continued to ride the Reddit rollercoaster as Organigram<\/a> climbed 4.17%, but Aurora<\/a> plunged 13.71%, both in heavy trading.<\/p>\n On Wall Street, trading volumes continued to be light and all Dow sectors were mixed. Standout stocks included Paypal<\/a> which surged 4.68%, Fedex<\/a> which advanced 3.4% after slumping in recent weeks, Etsy<\/a> which climbed 3.45%, and Mosaic<\/a> which popped 5.1%. The price of gold was essentially flat as was Bitcoin which shed less than 1% in contrast to its usual swings.<\/p>\n 🛫 Air Canada<\/a> +5.33% This week, you missed Past Top Picks comments by Bruce Campbell (2), including C21 Investments Inc.
