Happy Halloween! Trick or treat?
Let’s hope the small caps provide a treat today..
Across markets
Australian shares are poised to open higher to start the day. Shares were higher in New York, bolstered by a rebound in megacap techs. The Dow surged 511 points, 28 of its 30 components advanced, paced by Nike, Goldman Sachs and Verizon.
Tesla tumbled more than 5 per cent at one point, with sentiment hurt by concerns about its margin outlook and what appears to be the end of strikes by union workers at America’s big three domestic automakers.
Key data on Tuesday’s agenda: China manufacturing and services data. Bank of Japan policy meeting decision.
Oil has dropped back, putting a $US100 a barrel target seemingly unreachable for the moment amid rising international pressure on Israel to rethink its bombing of Gaza.
US oil fell as much as 4.3 per cent, with losses accelerating after crude slipped below technical support levels near $US82 a barrel.

- The TSX has been a dire place to be a miner in 2023, with almost two-thirds of our tracked TSX & TSX-V stocks being losers over the past 12 months
- Only 318 of 1123 on our TSX watchlist are in the green since November last year
- We check out four explorers up 600% or more in the past year
The TSX and TSX-V exchange is home to more mining companies and explorers in the world, with the exchange itself marketing that around 40% of the world’s mining companies are listed across the bourses.
It dwarfs the ASX, where there is far less capital and only one single exchange, and trumps the tech, finance and conglomerates that dominate the New York and London markets.
Yet complaints have grown from explorers in recent years that it’s harder to raise cash and make a buck in Canada, where stoned bankers are throwing their green into high-flying pot stocks before they sink a cent into a gold explorer.
Some of Canada’s established explorers are even making a run for Australia, where fundies and investors are either more knowledgable about mining or more tolerant of bulls**t.

Of 1123 number of companies in our TSX/TSX-V watchlist some 318 have recorded 12-month gains. That’s 28.3%.
Another 65 are unchanged, give or take a couple who have been acquired or listed for less than a year. Including those, it’s 5.8%.
A whopping 740 are 12 month losers. 65.9%.
Pick a random grab bag of Toronto-listed miners and you’re almost two-thirds likely to pick a loser, an outcome so bad you’ll wish you were on cannabis.
(But not in cannabis stocks. The Canadian Cannabis LP Index is down 38% in the past year and declining investor interest prompted S&P to junk its index with little commentary earlier this year.)
Granted the ASX has had plenty of losers as well. And like the Aussie market, Canada has also delivered its share of multi-baggers.
