Netflix loses 970,000 subscribers and the stock soars.

If you recall, back then the major drop in earnings affected the US stock market indices. This time, US stock markets were in the process of reversing and breaking out to the upside.

Small cap, big upside: drilling into Falcon Gold (FG.V) & Kermode Resources (KLM.V)
As May, 2022 rolls on, gold is looking like a pandemic-weary survivor. The variants that were predicted to kill it (spiking interest rates) – failed to do so; the vaccines that were predicted to give benefit (high inflation) – provided little relief. Gold is currently stumbling around in a face mask, humbled, immuno-compromised, lonely and disoriented – but experiencing rogue surges of energy and finding reasons to believe in a bright new future.
