3 SmallCap Stocks to Watch $OSTX $WCU $LVO

Date:

Always neat to introduce timely juniors with great potential. In this case, our constituents are OS Therapies (NYSE American: OSTX) (“OS Therapies” or “the Company”), an ADC and Immunotherapy research and clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company.

World Copper Ltd. (TSXV: WCU) (OTCQB: WCUFF) (FSE:7LY0), headquartered in Vancouver, BC, is a Canadian resource company focused on the exploration and development of its copper porphyry projects: Zonia in Arizona and Escalones in Chile. 

LiveOne (NASDAQ: LVO) is an award-winning, creator-first music, entertainment, and technology platform.

The Choice is Yours!

After reviewing these companies, you will have a tough choice of which to own. Nota Bene, this piece is merely an introduction, not definitive, but intended to pique your interest enough to dig deeper.

The amazing biopharmaceutical that is OS THERAPEUTICS. 

OSTX aims to identify lead candidates for treating osteosarcoma and other solid tumours for clinical development, regulatory approval, and commercialization. Starting with the most common genetic mutation found in Osteosarcoma, OS Therapies has identified a lead candidate in HER-2 Osteosarcoma with a goal of rapid clinical and regulatory analysis and review. This will be immediately followed in parallel with the OST-tADC development.

The biotech is quite simple. Take OSTX’s OST-HER2 therapy as an example. This could be the reason investors rocked the graph. One of the nasty aspects of cancer is metastasis, which raises the possibility of death.

This off-the-shelf immunotherapy treatment is designed to prevent metastasis, delay recurrence, kill primary tumours expressing HER2 and increase overall survival. The following chart evidences both the importance and promise of OSTX’s technology. The shares only began trading on August 1, 2024.

Already, the shares exhibit an average daily volume approaching 500k. Nota Bene, again, said that OSTX was only listed on the American Exchange in the US, and the numbers are in USD.

Numero Deux: WCU

The Company believes it has the potential to triple the resource size of the Zonia project.

  • 1-billion-pound copper resource
  • Lower environmental (no tailings or smelting);
  • Production is expected to be online in 3-4 years;
  • 50 to 70 million pounds of copper cathodes per year for 10 years;

Potential for pre-production revenue by utilizing approximately 14 million tons of previously stockpiled mineralized material on leach pads.

In World Copper, we have a small Company working smartly in one of the biggest and most important global commodity markets; Copper.

World Copper Ltd., headquartered in Vancouver, BC, is a Canadian resource company focused on exploring and developing its copper porphyry projects: Zonia in Arizona and Escalones in Chile. Both projects have estimated resources with significant soluble copper mineralization and boast exciting potential to expand the resource base. The Company is dedicated to sustainable practices and leveraging technology to develop safe and productive mining operations in stable, mining-friendly jurisdictions.

WCU’s Main projects are the Zonia Project & The Escalones.

Here’s the Company Fact Sheet

Mining’s significance in the circular economy is undeniable, especially when the growing demand for metals, such as copper, is considered. Several factors are driving this demand:

  • Population Growth: The global population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, increasing demand for essential materials.
  • Economic Development: The need for metals escalates as more people connect to electrical grids and overall consumption grows.

The Clean Energy Transition: Initiatives such as renewables (e.g., wind and solar), storage batteries and electric vehicles (e.g., electric vehicles) rely heavily on copper to produce and transmit generated electricity.

This stock is for those investors who want exposure, a proxy, or simply excellent properties. WCU fits the bill. Take time and do some due diligence.

Or a potential decent turn as the Zonia properties et al, look more and more like good takeover candidates. 

Did you hear it here first?

Live One

 LiveOne’s wholly-owned subsidiaries include Slacker, PodcastOne (Nasdaq: PODC), PPVOne, CPS, LiveXLive, DayOne Music Publishing, Drumify and Splitmind. LiveOne is available on iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Spotify, Samsung, Amazon Fire, Android TV, and through STIRR’s OTT applications.

Whew. (Spirit of Buddy Holly shaking his head)

Interestingly, Live One has around USD6.3m in cash to grow the business.

Investor Presentation here. Understandably, most older investors would likely poo-poo LiveOne as too progressive. Most older investors are not the target audience. Check the bus or train and see how many young people listen to music or podcasts. 

You can see from the chart that the growth seems enduring. Music changes virtually daily, as do tastes. I don’t see Taylor Swift, but then, as a music fan, I am a bit of a neanderthal. I still miss Queen. And. Prince.

I digress. Investors merely have to realize the potential of new music and podcasts (Who Killed JFK with Rob Reiner), and logic dictates that some exposure is warranted.

Let’s go. (What was the name of Buddy Holly’s Band. No using The Google.
