Mind-blown from @joerogan's latest with Gregg Braden: Thorium reactors – abundant, cheap, no meltdowns, can't be weaponized, and waste becomes fuel! We've had this tech since the 80s. Why ignore it for clean energy? The time to act is now! #Thorium #JRE https://t.co/Jxy00sC3WU

@ericjackson Has it been stated that their is likely no chance for an equity offering here? $OPEN expects to report on August 5th, so we are probably within the blackout period.

@capnek123 If you're looking for a 3x, you need to be in the right jurisdiction (Athabasca Basin) and be a little less known, with strong management. I'd pick CanAlaska $CVV $CVVUF

@KeepItRealYYC Thanks, much appreciated! 🙏

2024 performance: +155%.

This is an active trading strategy averaging roughly 20 trades a day. I hold about 50 positions at any given time, and most are considered high-risk smallcap stocks.

The market was very good for smallcap managers in 2024. Lots of risk-on trades worked and if you dabble in the Cdn markets, you probably had at least one of your companies taken out by private equity. That was the bottom. After a brutal market for smallcaps (2021 to 2023) it feels like that is finally behind us now.

My top 3 contributors to performance were: $TNZ.to $DEFI.c $PLTR
Tenaz is still my largest position as it continues to offer a great risk-reward into the new year.

I don't have a clue what 2025 holds. But I do believe we are in a great environment for stock pickers to outperform the market. Good luck all and happy trading!

@thedave2006 Thanks Dave!

@billwashington Thanks Bill!

[TraderNickCFA @nickchen66]

@winloseandwin Sellers sold losers into year end to offset capital gains. Lots of stocks are way down and not for fundamental reasons. It happens more in good years for the market, like 2024.

[TraderNickCFA @nickchen66]

I did the same thing. Tax loss bounce coming.

Added to my size on $MSOS, $TRUL, $GTII, $CURA and smaller into $AYR.A

[Dougie Kass @DougKass]

Today I added to my $MSOS long (from a few days ago) by purchasing positions in the following individual cannabis equities (cost in parentheses): $AYRWF  $0.408,  $CURLF  $1.49, $TSNDF $0.593 and  $VRNOF  $1.173. I like the entry points of this depressed group. This is the sixth of a series of trades in sector (4 successful, 2 unsuccessful) over the last few years. These are "January tax bounce candidates" but subject to emerging fundamentals/legislation could be more. Stay tuned. @dougkass @TheDalesReport @JasonGWild @jesseredmond @mayortoby @V_arrell @todd_harrison
