What got you talking last week

Few industries have gained from the coronavirus other than bug killing substance makers. But there has been speculation non-Chinese rare earths projects could be another area to benefit and this got the most attention on Twitter as well as in our Facebook small and micro cap chat group.

If you’re not yet a member we’d love to have you join – which you can here.

Also popular last week was our latest edition of Money Talks. It is always a hit among our readers but Friday’s instalment in particular was because of its focus on gold stocks. VP Capital’s John So gave us three of his picks among gold stocks.

These were the most tipped stocks (weekly) on Stocks in Play:
