Cantech Letter adds Profile Company #16
On September 26, 2008 Cantech Letter (then know as “The DVC Smalltech
Letter”) profiled its first Canadian tech stock. While that pick, Intrinsyc Software
(TSX:ICS), marked a rather inauspicious debut (the stock is down more than 50% from our profile
price) the remainder of this collection of Canadian tech stocks more than has made up
for it.
At last check, Cantech Letter was up 31.2%, while the TSX as a whole
was down 6.45% over the same period (September 26th, 2008 to January 22nd, 2010).
