On Stockhead today – the final wrap from Diggers and Dealers, the feds are finally on board with legal pot, and investors want ASIC to find some backbone.

But first here’s what you need to know.

 

The day ahead

If there’s one thing we can be certain of — there will be hangovers galore about 600km east of Perth, with Diggers & Dealers wrapping up yesterday (much to the delight of our intrepid resources journalist, Reuben Adams).

Companies due to release earnings today include Carpentaria Resources (ASX:CAP) as well as Crown; will there be any reference to the recent allegations?

The following companies are expected to come out of trading halts in the next 48 hours:

Thursday: 

Jatenergy (ASX: JAT) – acquisition

Ironbark Zinc (ASX: IBG) – result of case hearing with Glencore

Impression Healthcare (ASX: IHL) – supply agreement

Freedom Oil and Gas (ASX: FDM) – capital raising

Broo (ASX: BEE) – supply agreement

Rural Funds Group (ASX: RFF) – response to Bonitas’ allegations

Friday:

MEC Resources (ASX: MMR) – legal disputes

BPH Energy (ASX: BPH) – legal disputes
