Weekly ASX small cap wrap: Who’s kicking back with a ‘quarantini’ this week?
News
News
So, you’re stuck at home and worried about getting sick? Well one lady in the US has decided to mix up some gin and a vitamin supplement to make a “quarantini”.
Doesn’t that sound like a genius idea?
Well Emergen-C, the maker of the pictured vitamin supplement disagreed, saying instead that it did not recommend taking any of its products with alcohol.
Aviation Gin, which is owned by Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds, predictably gave the thumbs up to the choice of alcohol before saying later that people who are feeling sick should not be drinking any alcohol.
So while you should hold off on any possibly controversial cocktail ideas, the ASX seems to have had its own vitamin boost after a week of horror, with the Small Ords gaining 2.4 per cent to 2,002.8 points today.
Here are some of the small cap movers at both ends of the market.

TBG Diagnostics (ASX:TDL) +861.54%
Shares in TBG skyrocketed this week leading the ASX speeding cops to issue a please explain notice on why it waited until Wednesday to reveal that a COVID19 diagnostics test had been approved for sale in Europe.
TBG owns 47 per cent of TBG Biotechnology Xiamen, which made the kit using RNA (ribonucleic acid) to detect the RDRP, N and E genes of the COVID-19 virus.
Wellness and Beauty Solutions (ASX:WNB) +150%
Given the ridiculous stockpiling of goods such as hand sanitiser and toilet paper (why?), it shouldn’t be any surprise at all that investors were clicking on the buy button after the beauty clinic salon operator said earlier this week that it was entering the hand sanitiser business.
And its MICRO19 product is likely to hit the shelves soon with Chemist Warehouse having already placed an order worth more than $400,000.

Lovisa Holdings (ASX:LOV) -64.85%
Shares in the specialist fast fashion jewellery retailer were pummelled after the company said traffic at its 449 global stores was falling due to COVID-19 concerns, causing a “significant deterioration in sales”.
All stores in France, Spain, and Malaysia are currently closed, it says. Another 25 stores in the US are closed or closing “as a result of local government directives for shopping malls”.
Myer Holdings (ASX:MYR) -58.7%
A decade ago, any suggestion that Myer’s market capitalisation would fall to that of a small cap would have been laughed out of the room.
Now with a market cap of just $78m, the once mighty retailer is actually trading below its net cash position, which stood at $103m at the end of December 2019.
