The chitchat on the Stockhead Facebook chat forum yesterday was about Reuben Adams’ article on flying taxis — mostly, to be fair, wondering how we’ll deal with Fifth Element-style air traffic jams.

Investors in IDT Australia (ASX:IDT) won big yesterday after the company announced it’d got its golden cannabis ticket: a manufacturing licence. Not only does it mean it can start making cannabis products, but partner Cann Group (ASX:CAN) now has an outlet for its own raw material and AusCann (ASX:AC8) finally has a local resin supplier.
Gulf Manganese (ASX:GMC) was the next beneficiary of positive news, saying an Indonesian shipping licence received last week for manganese ore means it’s on track for first sales.
And ApplyDirect (ASX:AD1) has won the Pharmacy Guild of Australia as a client, being contracted to build them a system which can connect possible hires with potential employers in the pharmacy industry.

Leading the losing team with news was the perpetually troubled speed camera operator Redflex (ASX:RDF), the problem being that Texas has basically banned speed cameras.
Redflex’s Texas contracts made up about 13 per cent of its revenues derived in the six-month period ended 31 December 2018.
The company has some chequered history in the US, where it recently settled a bribery case with the US Department of Justice.
E2 Metals (ASX: E2M) had a rubbish start to the week, as investors were frankly unimpressed by a set of drilling results when compared to the company’s share price.
