A summer long rally has moved the TSX a thousand points, returning it to levels it had established before a spring swoon. The resurgence has been underpinned by stronger metals prices; gold is up 11.6% since late June, and silver has gained 26% in the same period. Technology stocks seem to remain a picker's market, even tossing in cleantech and biotech the sector is not yet large enough to fully absorb a sector rotation, if one were to want to happen. Last week's top tech gainers were a grab bag of different sized and themed companies. Here are the top gaining tech stocks for the week of September 17th. All cleantech, life sciences and technology stock listed on the TSX, with a minimum average of 10,000 shares traded per day, were eligible. 1.

Kinasewich founded Seair and is the co-inventor of the company's core patented diffusion technology, but shareholders clearly approved of the management shakeup; on Tuesday the stock leapt from $.39 cents to $.65 cents, and posted its highest volume in months. 2.
