Just in from New Orleans and Brien Lundin‘s 4-day setting of cochon (his annual apple-bob pig), Pêche (Warehouse District fish house), even a Cajun cooking class that dished a disruptive étouffée of a personal life-lesson.
Those of you with The Calandra Report for a spell, going back to ’99 or ’98, know most life forms get a crack-shot, maybe two, at hooking into a disruptive theme: an investment, a life lesson, a parabola.
I think we found another one.
Fully Armed
Several thousand of our TCR viewers and readers can confirm we hooked into at least two disruptive technologies that minted us luminous lucre: Illumina (NASDAQ: ILMN, Stock Forum) for genomic tools in 2003; Tencent Holdings (????????; SEHK: 700) for mass-media New Asia. We are talking many thousands of percent profit. Parabola. {Note: the same mentoring asset manager tipped me to both.]
TCR Family: At Brien’s show this week in riverside New Orleans sunshine, I believe we uncovered two disruptions – in technology/special situations. And one personal roux at Cooking Class.
See our TCR subscriber reports and (our occasional Freebies at) ThomCalandra.com for more about:
-
Why Natcore Technology (TSX: V.NXT, Stock Forum) is capable of Illumina’s parabolic growth via patented solar-cell improvements.
-
Why fresh and largely unexplained gains in forlorn gold projects in Nicaragua [Calibre Mining (TSX: V.CXB, Stock Forum)]; Manitoba, Canada [Carlisle Goldfields (TSX: CGJ, Stock Forum)]; and CHL Malartic in Quebec [Abitibi Royalties (TSX: V.RZZ, Stock Forum]*; go hand in hand with the brink of a parabola in precious metals.
-
BioCryst’s (NASDAQ: BCRX, Stock Forum) disruptive treatments for severe influenza and possibly Ebola & Marburg’s viruses. Mali is the latest headline that deserves BCRX (in USA) portfolio insurance. I have it -- 22,000 shares. Keep an eye on India.
