Looks like resistance has hit this stock over the last month despite decent earnings. Starting to unload my position and take the 100%+ gain and purchase AXM.V and CAF.V since they are half the price with more potential than TNA.V. Getting two stocks for the price of one is always a good deal and great diversification strategy. What the market has taught us is despite the venture at a three year low, earnings based companies continue to go up. The losses are coming from Marijuana/Crypto and speculative companies that have no capital to work with. Thus buying small caps that generate free cash flow cannot lose in these turbulent times. But AXM being in gold and CAF in coking coal used for steel, these two metals are highly sought after right now.
