Si vous ne le saviez pas, les bourses canadiennes seront fermées lundi prochain (Civic Holiday). Bon long weekend boursier à tous!
Je viens de publier une traduction d’article sur le blogue:
Ne vous souciez pas de l’illiquidité, souciez vous d’avoir raison
Selon moi, c’est l’un des meilleurs articles du MicroCapClub et ça m’a beaucoup aidé à façonner ma stratégie d’investissement quand j’ai commencé.
Si vous ne l’avez jamais lu, c’est un must!

Bonjour à tous!
Je suis nouveau sur le forum et suis un avide lecteur de vos commentaires. Je tiens à vous féliciter sur la qualité du contenu.
Je voulais partager une pétition ayant pour but de rétablir le RÉA (régime d’épargne actions) qui, vous le savez sans doute, permettait aux contribuables Québécois de déduire de leur impôt, en partie ou en totalité, l’achats d’actions nouvellement émises par des entreprises québécoises.
Je crois que ce pourrait être bénéfique afin de soutenir l’investissement local dans un temps d’incertitude comme aujourd’hui. Le lien est disponible ci-dessous:
N’hésitez pas à me partager votre point de vue quant à la réintroduction du RÉA!

Bonjour! Je me demandais s’il y a des membres qui suivent de pres la compagnie Alkaline water co (wter). Il s’agit d’une compagnie d’eau embouteillée qui vend de l’eau alkaline aux USA, et qui a pris une position dans le marche de l’eau infusee au cbd. Les résultats du trimestre sont impressionnants, +40% par rapport au dernier quart, J’avais pris position l’an dernier et j’ai perdu patience, mais je me demande si justement je n’ai pas manque de patience…
Merci!
Je ne suis pas la compagnie de près mais je l’avais déjà analysé un peu. De ce que j’ai lu, il ne semble pas y avoir de bénéfices prouvés à boire de l’eau alcaline. Ça me semble plus une mode qui est soutenue par du marketing et des endossements de célébrités. Je ne crois pas au produit à long terme donc je n’ai pas poursuivi mes recherches bien longtemps après ça.
Est-ce que la croissance vient de leur eau infusée au CBD? Si c’est le cas, c’est peut-être un potentiel plus intéressant.
hummm. bon point. c’Est vrai qu’en revue littéraire, on trouve bien peu de fondements scientifiques quant aux bienfaits de l’eau alcaline… en meme temps, je trouvais qu’investir dans une petite compagnie d’eau était intéressant, comme la consommation d’eau embouteillée augmente année apres année et que je pense que les préoccupations sanitaires liées à la covid risquent d’aider un peu ces boissons, ce creneau est encore appelé a augmenter selon moi.

Une long chemin mais la lumière est au bout du tunnel
Imagin to test i/Blue on anatomical bladder models
2020-07-15 12:42 ET - News Release
Mr. Jim Hutchens reports
IMAGIN MEDICAL TO BEGIN TESTING OF I/BLUE IMAGING SYSTEM ON ANATOMICAL BLADDER MODELS
Imagin Medical Inc. will begin testing the i/Blue imaging system using anatomical bladder models to confirm simultaneous white-light and blue-light image display.
The anatomical bladder models simulate pathologic defects representing bladder cancer tumors that have absorbed an imaging agent which fluoresces when exposed to blue light. Imagin will use these bladder models to: (i) conduct extensive optical and image benchtop testing; (ii) verify the i/Blue System’s production of separate white and blue light images; and (iii) conduct virtual demonstrations for evaluation by leading urologists.
« This testing brings us closer to conducting our first live subject studies later this year while we continue to introduce i/Blue’s capabilities to the medical community, » said Jim Hutchens, Imagin’s president and chief executive officer.
The Company also announced that it has posted on its website an animated short that illustrates the differences between the current visualization technology and the i/Blue System. Another addition is a StockTalk podcast that Stockhouse Media recently published on its website.
Mr. Hutchens added: « While today’s blue light imaging has been shown to identify over 24% more tumors than white light, the high cost of equipment and the need to toggle or switch between white and blue light images helps explain why its use is limited. Imagin expects that i/Blue will greatly expand adoption of blue light technology due to its additional features and ease-of-use. We encourage investors to view the animated short and listen to the StockTalk podcast in order to gain a better understanding of i/Blue’s value proposition, as well as Imagin’s plans to bring this game-changing technology to market. »
About Imagin Medical Inc.

The Company believes its first product, the i/Blue Imaging System, with its proprietary optics and light sensors, will greatly increase the efficiency and accuracy of detecting cancer for removal, helping to reduce recurrence rates.

Rocky Mountain Liquor earns $970,689 in Q2
2020-08-20 13:33 ET - News Release
Ms. Allison Radford reports
RUM SEES SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN SALES, INCOME FROM OPERATIONS AND NET INCOME FOR Q2 2020 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS
Rocky Mountain Liquor Inc. has released its financial results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020.
The Company has continued to succeed at its objective to grow market share and reduce costs, having increased sales by $2.3M for the three month period of 2020, and $2.6M for the six month period of 2020, when compared to the same periods in 2019. Sales growth of 19% for the second quarter of 2020 is primarily attributed to the Government of Alberta’s decision to close bars and restaurants to the public due to COVID-19 and recognize liquor retail as an essential service, resulting in consumers turning to liquor retailers in lieu of licensed establishments.
As at August 20, 2020, all locations are open and operational. The novel coronavirus pandemic has had, and continues to have, a notable impact on the Company. The Company's financial results show increased sales, driven by increased demand for liquor product following the onset of the crisis, and continuing through the second quarter. Additional costs were incurred for safety and sanitization measures to ensure our employees are working in a safe environment including; increased sanitation, plexiglass shields at the counters, masks for staff when physical distancing cannot be maintained, social distancing measures within the locations, and restricting the number of individuals in the store at a time.
KEY OPERATING AND FINANCIAL METRICS
Financial highlights, year over year 3 month comparison:
Sales increased by $2.3M or 19% to $14.3M (2019 was $12.0M) with 28 stores contributing to sales at the end of the period in 2020 vs 29 at the end of the period in 2019
EBITDAR* increased by 71% to $1,619,086 (2019 was $947,479)
Net income improved by $993,913 to $970,689 (2019 loss was $23,224)
Gross margin percentage increased to 23.3% (2019 was 22.1%)
Income from operations increased by $671,800 to $1,618,779 (2019 was $946,979)
Financial highlights, year over year 6 month comparison:
Sales increased by $2.6M or 13% to $23.7M (2019 was $21.1M) with 28 stores contributing to sales at the end of the period in 2020 vs 29 at the end of the period in 2019
EBITDAR* increased by 74% to $2,110,349 (2019 was $1,210,488)
Net income improved by $1.4M to $695,507 (2019 loss was $722,721)
Gross margin percentage increased to 22.8% (2019 was 21.8%)
Income from operations increased by $899,877 to $2,109,318 (2019 was $1,209,441)
EBITDAR increased by 71% over the same three month period in 2019 and 74% over the same six month period in 2019 as a result of management's continued focus on competitive pricing strategies, an increase in sales, and the balancing of costs while providing a safe and positive customer experience.
Net income has increased by $993,913 for the three month period, and $1.4M for the six month period in 2020 over the same periods of 2019. The positive impacts to net income are a result of management's continued focus on competitive pricing strategies, an increase in sales and reductions to finance costs in 2020 due to the conversion of the convertible debenture in July 2019. The Company remains focused on delivering efficiency and process improvements while managing operating costs.
Margins have increased from 22.1% to 23.3% for the three month period and 21.8% to 22.8% for the six month period, as the Company has modeled its marketing, pricing and promotional strategies to maximize gross margins. The Company strategizes the timing of Limited Time Offer purchases with in store promotions, to realize margin growth.
Income from operations as a percent of sales increased to 11.3% from 7.9% for the three month period 2020, and to 8.9% from 5.7% for the six month period. The increase in income from operations is a result of the increase in sales while maintaining operating and administrative expenses.
To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a negative impact on the Company's results of operations, however, the Company is not immune to factors beyond its control, including without limitation; forced store closures, labour shortages, potential supply disruptions or other unforeseen circumstances.
At the end June 30, 2020 the Company operated 28 stores. Subsequent to June 30, 2020 the Company sold two stores in Southern Alberta and currently operates 26 stores.
