On Stockhead today: Dr Boreham’s prognosis on Clinuvel, which stocks are in most demand right now, what small cap directors are splashing out on and Barry FitzGerald’s take on Ardiden looking for a golden opportunity in Canada.

But first…

The week ahead

This week is a quiet week in data. On Wednesday at 11am, month on month skilled vacancies will be released and on Thursday the Commonwealth Bank will release the Purchasing Managers’ Index.

However, with the quarterly deadline looming next Thursday (October 31) companies have begun to lodge them and these will trickle in across the week notwithstanding the majority that will come out closer to the deadline.

The following companies are in trading halts and expected to exit within the next 48 hours:

Monday:
Karios Minerals (ASX:KAI) – capital raising
Ultracharge (ASX:UTR) – proposed acquisition
Palla Pharma (ASX:PAL) – capital raising
Great Souther Mining (ASX:GSN) – capital raising
WiseTech Global (ASX:WTC) – response to J Capital report

Tuesday:
Millennium Minerals (ASX:MOY) – finance facility increase
CropLogic (ASX:CLI) – response to ASX query
