A diversion...


considering the pressure on the oil industry... the beta is rising... now even more... take a look at some bio... EBN.V, TRX.V, PLI.TO........... Canadian Bio-Tech is about the only sector not being bullied by OPEC. Pretty risky, but these three companies are showing some growth as the boomers continue to age.

Consider tech as well for the summer doldrums...

TRX.V is looking strong on a move up.... PLI.TO just finished a 50 million bought Deal and is consolidating a potential bounce at 2.25... EBN.V looks interesting but un-exciting...

 Of particular interest is a Tech company PTG.V ...  Here's a clip from
Jason Donville who is president and CEO of Donville Kent Asset Management. His focus is growth stocks.

Top Picks:

Pivot Technology Solutions (PTG-TSX Venture)
California-based Pivot Technology is a small, value-added reseller of software. What makes the company interesting to us is that it is very inexpensive, trading on 7.0x 2015 cash earnings, and has a projected return on equity of more than 40 per cent. What also makes this company interesting is that its chairman is John Sculley, former CEO of Apple Computer.

Why is Canada’s life sciences sector flatlining?

Canada has a Silicon Valley of its own, a big one, but you’ve probably never heard of it, because it’s devoted to life sciences, not gadgets like smartphones. It is called Toronto, a city normally associated with bloated banks and some ailing gold miners. The University of Toronto has one of the largest medical schools in North America and produces more peer-reviewed research papers than any other medical centre in the world, according to the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service.
The federal money thrown at biotech research is lavish. The Canadian Institutes of Health Research invests about $1 billion a year “for translation of new knowledge and to nurture talent.” Hundreds of millions of dollars are funnelled into grants and fellowships. Ontario has some 51,000 jobs in human health.
Some of the discoveries made in Canada are the stuff of science fiction and have the potential to help millions of people. Researchers at U of T have developed a biodegradable polymer “scaffold” that accelerates bone-tissue regeneration. At McMaster University’s Stem Cell and Cancer Research Institute, scientists have invented a process to convert skin into blood.
Given the abundance of biotech research, you would think the Toronto Stock Exchange would be brimming with biotech heavyweights—companies that transformed that research into a dazzling array of commercial products. Sadly, that’s not the case. The rate of successful commercialization of Canadian intellectual property discoveries is pathetic compared to the United States, France, Britain, Sweden, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and several other countries, even when adjusted for their relative economic size (and especially when adjusted).
True, the TSX is home to more than 100 life sciences companies, but the ones valued at more than $1 billion stand out because of their rarity. Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, formerly Biovail, is a genuine global player, with a market value of $85 billion. It is not, however, primarily engaged in clinical development. Its main businesses are manufacturing and marketing. The largest Canadian company that would qualify as a biotech star is ProMetic Life Sciences, a Quebec biopharmaceuticals company best known for plasma-derived proteins. It has a market value of $1.5 billion.
The life sciences sector in the United States is truly awesome. Based on stock market values at the end of 2014, the combined value of just two American biotech giants, Gilead and Amgen, was greater than all of the more than 1,500 mining companies listed on the TSX. The collective value of a mere four U.S. biggies—Gilead, Amgen, Celgene and Biogen Idec—was larger than all of Canada’s Big Six banks plus the insurers Sun Life and Manulife put together. Gilead, Amgen and Celgene, combined, are worth more than General Motors, Ford and Toyota.
Not only are the top U.S. biotech companies huge, their growth has been an investor’s dream. Twenty years ago, Gilead was worth about $400 million (U.S.). Ten years ago, its value was $8 billion (U.S.). In late March, Gilead was worth more than $150 billion (U.S.), for a compound annual growth rate of 34% over the past decade.
Are Canadian investors risk-averse by nature, and is that why they shy away from biotech start-ups? Unlikely—they seem to adore risk, as their enthusiasm for geological exploration shows. Yes, biotech can be riskier. It can take a decade or longer to discover a molecule, shepherd it through clinical trials, fund development, obtain regulatory approvals and get a product into hospitals. Disaster can hit at any time during the process, and usually does. But the jackpots can be lavish, as the market values of the top biotech companies show.
So what explains the dearth of biotech giants in Canada? Blame the uneven playing field among start-ups. Suppose your broker offers you a choice of two risky investments: Greed Gold and CardiacArrest Biotech. CardiacArrest is twice as risky, but has twice the potential payoff—or more. Still, only a novice with a head as empty as an echo chamber would pick CardiacArrest. That’s because speculative resource companies in Canada can offer flow-through shares, in which the tax losses of the companies during their profitless exploration phase are passed onto shareholders, effectively reducing the net cost of the investment by about 50%. In Canadian mining, capital formation can be a breeze. In biotech, it’s a nightmare.
The solution is clear: Level the playing field by allowing life sciences start-ups to use flow-through share financing or some similar tax freebie. The chances of Canada’s amazing biotech discoveries making it to market would rise exponentially. The TSX is becoming a bland collection of low-growth resources and financial services companies. It needs a new, high-growth industry. Biotech is ready and eager. The folly is that so much research is going nowhere for lack of financing.

OMG NDP AL

Wow ..... this could be disastrous... go away in May has just taken a new meaning.... Tax the business make it right is wrong... while there may be a need to be fair has merit.... Think of the NDP as an albatross in a world economy focused on an oil price war.... The NDP's concept of making more jobs is to tax the companies who are paying the wages... while these companies are suffering a major downturn in revenue...; too bad the NDP couldn't have got in while things were good... it might have made some sense... this puts the NDP way in over their head... Alberta citizens will be sorry... The NDP thinks transparency is motivation for the political change and they couldn't be more wrong.... That little insight made public by the new NDP Premiere shows how inept their touch on reality is... their policy's are not defined, but then what do u expect for a surprise upset the NDP wasn't expecting like this coming from work depressed uninformed people looking for the easy way out. Hail the new hero's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NDP will be transparent and tell them (work force) why they are going to be jobless... Honesty is the best policy .... right?

LRE.TO

Update May 06 2015: For days now LRE had been showing potential to pop $1.00, however since Monday there have been numerous bearish calls on Oil amidst the recent rally and this has caused some turbulence... It would be hard to say that LRE will still pop $1.00 considering the amount of volume dropped in the last 2 days... the case for a bearish short term look is quite valid. Look for an exit on a high note and take a position of no position until the chart firms up. Do not hold a down move.


LRE.TO just won't die anymore..... and a break over a dollar is looking like it's coming. Some real telling news about it's portfolio.... good reason it was 6.00 bucks about with a dividend.... any one who thinks oil is going to stay low is nuts.... Looks good in a weekly as it does in a daily. Level II looks one sided up...  Plug LRE.TO into the chart below.... checkout weekly and daily.... that's a powerful picture... but that would be .94 to .96 for a good risk reward to chart, and use a tight stop. If the chart turns bad believe it. This time of year is tricky to play so be nimble not panicky. Notice the settings on the MACD's...... Default 12,26,9 is real-time sensitive and modified MACD is smoothed 12,65,1 or the core average... looks real solid as up for a low volatility pop. Another thing the short on this stock rose by a million from March 15 to April 16 as it stands it would take 5.6 days to run the gauntlet of a short squeeze... a good close-up of say two months only would be a good time period to examine the short term potential for a cover run on the type of average volume so far would be frisky in a 6 day period or it push hard nice and easy for a bit............... shorting into a rally is fun place to play for a bull.

UEX.TO

Click the link way below to read Motley's mention... as since then the volume has been increasing steadily... price wise .26 cents appears to be a solid bottom for now... with a buy in the .26 cent to 31 cent area for entry as a point of low risk and wait for action...  till then this blurb from the complete report .... takes you down speculation lane... My new indicator test shows this stock has some momo building and is in position to make a move. It has yet to test the last low properly, but is on the cusp of a cross up....Take note that any reference to the singular person as in "I" in the following blurb means the author and not myself.

Two stocks set to take advantage of the trend
Two companies that offer very different degrees of risk are Cameco (TSX:CCO) and UEX (TSX:UEX).
Cameco is the biggest and most widely known of the Canadian uranium companies; therefore, it probably offers the least risk--and least reward. But even so, should the price of uranium climb to the $70-$80 range that some predict would make the required supply available, Cameco's shares could very easily double. The company produces 15% of the world's uranium and holds a growing portfolio of related assets . If there is a horse that will make it to the race, Cameco is it.
UEX takes us right to the other end of the risk curve, but with corresponding rewards. UEX is a purely developmental stage company. This is a company with just six employees but it has interests in two sizeable potential operations in the northern portion of Saskatchewan, a region known as the Athabasca Basin.
The bigger of the two properties is Shea Creek. With an indicated and inferred (I+I) uranium resource that has been measured at 95.8 million pounds, this property hosts the largest undeveloped uranium deposit in a region that produces 15% of the world's annual uranium. UEX is a 49% owner of Shea Creek, with the other 51% being held by a subsidiary of AREVA, the French nuclear juggernaut. AREVA is the exploration operator on the property, meaning that UEX is basically along for the ride and acts more as a financier of the property's exploration and development.
Be aware
I cannot stress enough that UEX is a highly speculative way to enter this race. The company has no debt, but that's largely because there isn't a banker or financier in the world that would lend it a nickel. UEX needs the capital markets to continue with its development programs. The only reason I am willing to give it a pass is its links to two very prominent companies in the uranium space. The partnership with AREVA was mentioned earlier. The other relationship is with none other than Cameco, which owns 21.95% of UEX . This ownership stake has existed since July 2002, when UEX was formed to purchase the Hidden Bay project from Cameco. In addition to this ownership stake, should UEX ever be ready to produce, a milling arrangement with Cameco is already in place, as is a marketing and financing agreement.
The probability of UEX ever bringing either of these projects to production is incredibly low. Because of the huge amounts of capital required to develop a mine, and the already cozy relationship that exists with two of the industry's biggest players, the more likely scenario would see the company being acquired. With the two assets continuing to show promise, and given the bottom-dwelling price of the commodity, a takeout could occur sooner rather than later.
To be clear, the investment case behind UEX is entirely different from the one that surrounds Cameco. We want to be sure, however, that you are aware of the range of opportunities that are available in this space.
The long term
Betting on energy is a safe long-term gamble, since the world is in constant need for more of it. Purchasing an already significant but still-growing source of energy like uranium at a depressed price is just too good of an opportunity to pass up.
With an entirely favourable long-term supply/demand dynamic for the commodity in place, it's a good bet that the future stock prices for both of the companies that have been profiled will look nothing like they have in the recent past!
