A new addition to the Highballer shortlist – Minnova Corp (MCI.V) – also Forum (FMC.V), Strategic (SMD.V), and PureGold (PGM.V)

Here’s a quick review of some of the names on the Highballer shortlist making news and-or generating significant share price trajectory. Gold is currently pushing $1,790 overseas as I type.
