Hi torrira, if I’m honest I don’t quite know what you’re talking about either in your first sentence. Haha

Usually just stay in my lane and do thorough research in stocks I hold or have held recently or looking to take a position.

But happy to have a look at anything, I have picked up a few good stocks from HC posters over the years.

The first thing I look at is how it’s trading, are there accumulation bots capping the sp? I am wary of stocks with billions of shares on offer they are usually at the mercy of brokers, which doesn’t mean they are bad just hard to predict and can be capped when good news flows. I could go on but a big factor for me is the game and not just the stock itself. I think most investors have seen good stocks suffer to the game.

Then it’s of course the fundamentals of the stock and market that stock operates in and the balance sheet, I take particular note of performance incentives and if management delivers on their strategy.

Then it’s just odd things that I rate, like publishing the quarterly not on the last day of the month, updating the top20 every quarter etc. Not deal breakers but good signs of accountability.

I could go on, needless to say I have developed my own quirky ways of looking at stocks that works for me, I am super objective, as for PTN there’s stuff I don’t like but not enough to throw the baby out with the bath water, it’s a 15 cent share with upside just on fundamentals.
As we head into the northern spring it’s traditionally considered gold season and gold stocks usually outperform the gold price by multiples over a couple of months, hopefully PTN joins the party.
