The resource juniors on our list have something to talk about at this week’s conference in Toronto
SmallCapPower | September 28, 2016: As Mines and Money Americas is happening this week in Toronto, we have chosen to evaluate the ones on our list today have seen its shareholder value explode. Added into the metrics are the 5 year Beta, and Free Float to provide different lenses when analyzing growth. The beta of a stock is the response variable of how a stock’s value changes in relation to market conditions and it informs you of the volatility and, subsequently, the risk associated with the stock. For example, a high beta means that when the market does well, the stock value does very well and vice-versa. A beta of 1 means that the stock value changes in line with the changes in value of the market. Free Float refers to the percentage of outstanding shares that are not held by management as it assumes those shares are held on a long-term basis. This can be a good indicator of how management perceives the future outlook of the company. A high percentage free float means that the management isn’t invested heavily into the company, and a low percentage free float means that the management owns a majority of the company’s stock.
