ASX Small Cap Lunch Wrap: Who’s living their 90s dream life today?

We’re one day away from the end of 2020 and you have absolutely no reason to believe that all the bad 2020 has delivered will somehow be magicked away at midnight tomorrow.
Still, here’s the “goodbye 2020” gif thread you’re looking for (Note: It’s always the realists that are funniest):

But honestly, all 2020 has really done is send home that sneaky realisation you always had, but tried to ignore, that life in general has been getting grimmer for some time now.
And now, brilliantly, Dani Alexis Riskamp over at The Atlantic, has tracked down that nagging feeling and exposed it. Brilliantly, and brutally.
Because if you can remember 1996, you might also remember how The Simpsons were the Western world’s most dysfunctional family. Now, fast-forward 24 years and, according to Riskamp:
“The purchasing power of Homer’s paycheck, moreover, has shrunk dramatically. The median house costs 2.4 times what it did in the mid-’90s. Health-care expenses for one person are three times what they were 25 years ago. The median tuition for a four-year college is 1.8 times what it was then. In today’s world, Marge would have to get a job too.”
Oof. Read it, stop, do the maths, read it again and think HANG ON.
Then get back to trying to make money.
After yesterday’s euphoria about stimulus cheques, things turned a little subdued in the US overnight as investors got nervous about the fact said cheques might not be as big as hoped for.
The Dow and S&P 500 dipped 0.22% and the Nasdaq 100 dropped 0.38%. Marginal, but enough to send jitters through the local market here in Australia.
That was all a bit grim. Let’s try to find some winners.
The most solid rise today goes to Strategic Elements (ASX:SOR), which rose a good 42 per cent on the back of news it was working on a type of ink that kind of, sort of lets you draw a computer on a page.
That’s a really basic definition – you can get the science version here – but no, really, SOR’s Nanocube Memory Ink has billions of tiny cubes in it that it says can ‘talk’ to each other.
Shareholders love that sort of thing.
And today’s only IPO – and last of 2020 – was from gold and nickel explorer BPM Minerals (ASX:BPM). It gained 25 per cent on debut and held steady enough.
