If you absolutely, positively have to buy stocks...

Don’t get me wrong, I remain bearish on both the bond market and the stock market. But if you have to buy stocks (or like me you use short NASDAQ futures to hedge) then I offer 3 1/2 possibilities.

First is Great Panther Mining (GPL). This gold producer is selling at a severe discount because of safety issues which forced the shutdown of its key Brazilian mine. The company just released their 2021 gold production results and 2022 production guidance.

If the 2022 guidance comes to pass, the 2022 third quarter will show such a dramatic upturn that would drive the stock from its current 20 cents to 50 cents or more. And GPL would benefit should the current high inflation outlook trigger a surge in the price of gold.

Second is Aspen Group (ASPU). If you have to keep your $40-50K day job but want to become a licensed nurse earning $80-100K fast growing Aspen Group is your best bet. The stock has dropped from over $10 to $1.90 (Covid has temporarily slowed growth) despite projecting profitable operations later in 2022 and receiving approval to enter the Atlanta market

Third is Hallador Energy (HNRG) which from its low cost Indiana coal mines in the last year has generated $55 million in cash flow. The stock at $2.43 per share has a market cap of $74 million. Prospect for 2022 and 2023 are for greater earnings and cash flow as the company benefits from dramatically higher coal prices and diminished competition. https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/coal

…and FINALLY the ‘half’ is…Rumble (CFVI) Rumble is a free speech social platform taking business away from the censors at YouTube, FaceBook, Twitter. The market cap is $459 million. I am intrigued but can’t get the financials since they just went public and I have yet to track down where they release financial information. Why am I intrigued?
