(A Top Pick Sep 11/20, Up 22%) A steady eddy. Will continue to do well but it is not a candidate for purchase for him. There are better opportunities for new money, but nothing wrong with this.
insurance
COMMENT

Lots of opportunities in the market. Believes in the small cap section in Canada, in particular. The big cap stocks have carried the headlines but small and mid-caps have now registered bottoms and the bull market has returned. JP Morgan team also reported the tides to be positive for small- mid-caps.

Unknown
COMMENT
Certainly some storm clouds on the horizon. US unemployment numbers fell short. Number of states are still giving additional benefits. In states that have reduced benefits, people are going back to work. Select shortages in the supply change are probably temporary. Outlook remains positive in certain spaces.

Goes through old tailings. Their product extracts gold and mercury. Their first plant in Costa Rica is expected to move 90T per day. There is another operation in Brazil. Could product in the range of 40-44 thousand ounces of gold. Spread is around $800 per ounce. Potential 150% upside.

COMMENT
Part of their trial was suspended. Some of the patients had above normal liver enzymes. However, other arms are proceeding. The findings will show whether it has less liver toxicity. Have enough cash to go on for 2.5 more years.
Pharma & Healthcare
COMMENT
Growth by acquisition, as a holding company, and from their community of video games. Expected to lose $.31 per share, although sales are growing. Continues to grow and a potential acquisition candidate. Near term free cashflow is less exciting.
communications / media
BUY
Baytex Energy Corp
Upside expected by analysts is $3. Should do well. It is free cashflow positive and does not yet pay a dividend. Has generated a quarter billion in free cashflow. Analysts expect 40% upside.
