The Nesco I told you about back in July that I bought just short of $3 a share is up 65% today alone Is close to $7. I gave you BRAV The other day so you might wanna look harder at that one!!!
Brian Bertsche
It’s a penny stock but you have to look at BRAV. Just got all caught up and current on financials. They have been around for almost a decade but in the last 3 years they have shown tremendous growth and profit potential. They added A website to sell masks at beginning of COvid Which shows they’re adapting to market needs and have also added a number of websites. They are now growing revenue substantially and are breaking a profit quite nicely.

Intrested in your perspective on a Nesco holdings NSCO. They’re insiders have been buying up quite a bed in the last month. I don’t work for them but I subcontract and know their negative Statements the last couple quarters are largely from massive acquisitions of companies and trucks and materials. Was a private family owned company but wet New York stock exchange a couple years ago.
