It may be bravery or it may be stupidity but here is my two bits worth.

After Xmas I took a contrarian punt on Sun Life (dividend yield is way too high to be healthy) and by time the trade settled I was ahead a buck

If the world is going to end Omnilite may be a good place to be. It is pulling in orders for lead-free ammo for the US military

And if you think the world still has a while to run look at Ecotality- supplier of electric car charging stations

An energy bet- Mart Resources- defying the civil unrest in Nigeria

And, of course the usual caution- if I knew what I was doing I would be rich and long gone from here.
