4 OTC Stocks to Watch: ASTA AUNXF BYRG CGRA

Stock markets continue to fluctuate near their all-time highs as the US economic recovery is marching on. At the end of last week, the OTCQX Composite index, which tracks over 400 OTC stocks, updated the record high when breaking above 1,670 points before the correction of this week.OTC stocks follow the general bullishness of the stock market, with many companies reporting better than expected Q2 results. Meanwhile, the US economy is showing robust signs of recovery, with the GDP returning to pre-pandemic level.Even though many investors are worried about the spread of COVID-19’s Delta variant, most economists agree that businesses will adapt to the new conditions, as the government will avoid full-scale restrictions.Despite the recent correction, the stock market is poised to expand its growth following the massive stimulus from the Fed and the US government.Ross Mayfield, investment strategist at Baird in Louisville, said:

“We're starting to build this kind of cocktail, where you got the spread of the Delta variant, geopolitical and domestic political tensions, as well as kind of the Fed pulling back on some of their monetary policy. All together, and with a market that's right around near all time highs, there's reason for some volatility and choppiness and even a minor correction in the next couple of months.”

All in all, this is a great time to invest in OTC stocks, as they can provide massive returns that most blue chips cannot deliver.

OTC Stocks to Watch #2 AUNXF

AXP Energy Limited has been on the rise this month, after moving within a horizontal channel near $0.003 since the end of May. The OTC has gained over 200% during the last five days alone and is currently trading at $0.015. It almost touched two pennies on Wednesday, which remains the highest level in four years.The Pink Current company is operating in the oil and gas sector by acquiring and developing mineral prospective areas and explore them for oil and gas in the US. In a way, its operations are similar to that of 88 Energy (OTCPK: EEENF), which is one of our favorite OTC stocks.Investors have been excited since Monday, when AUNXF, which also trades on the Australia Stock Exchange (ASX), halted trading on the Australian market because of “pending a further announcement.” Usually, the rules in Australia require small companies to halt trading when major news is about to affect the stock price. Investors speculated about a potential merger or acquisition, although none of that has been announced yet.https://twitter.com/Jude_11/status/1427506974044958726Instead, last Friday, Elite Mining Inc. (EMI) announced that it had signed a Heads of Agreement (HOA) with AUNXF to establish in-situ power generation for the large and growing cryptocurrency mining sector in the US. Elite acquires, installs, and maintains mining hardware to mine digital currencies using immersion technology and the lowest 2% renewable energy costs in the US. The hardware equipment is submerged in EMI's proprietary liquid-cooled Immersion Mining Pods, which are placed within a 28-foot Elite Mobile Unit (EMU) to optimize performance and improve energy efficiency.AUNXF is providing the energy source in the form of stranded gas from its Pathfinder Field in Colorado, all associated gas gathering infrastructure and will also provide site control and maintenance services from its site office in Florence, Colorado.The partnership enables EMI to scale quickly to meet the growing demand of their US-based clients and deploy their state-of-the-art immersion-cooling mobile units used for the mining of cryptocurrency by utilizing the energy supplied by AXP. The US is the second-biggest mining destination in the world, accounting for nearly 17% of the world's cryptocurrency mining operations as of April 2021. This is a 151% increase from September 2020.EMI’s executive VP J.D. Wambold said:

“Our partnership with AXP allows us to keep up with the incredible demand for our .0397 cent immersion hosting. With this demand also comes a fiduciary responsibility to our shareholders and clients, who are both aligned with our goal to deploy over 200 MW of immersion hosting within the United States next year. In order to achieve this level of growth, we are doubling our manufacturing capabilities with a new facility in Wyoming this fall.”

It may be that AUNXF halted trading in Australia to announce this partnership that had been revealed by EMI itself. Still, we don’t know whether AUNXF has additional substantial news to announce, although this is enough to be bullish about the OTC stock.On August 9, the company confirmed that month-on-month revenue increased at a fast pace, as the company saw record net revenue of A$1.8 million for July.https://twitter.com/AXP_Energy/status/1424528836671119361 https://cdn-api.markitdigital.com/apiman-gateway/ASX/asx-research/1.0/file/2924-02404928-2A1314538?access_token=83ff96335c2d45a094df02a206a39ff4With its three revenue streams, which are oil, gas, and NGL, we think AUNFX is positioned to grow its business in the coming year thanks to new contracts and partnerships. With no debt and reverse split plans, this is a good OTC stock to hold in your portfolio.https://twitter.com/Noted_Thanks_/status/1427082128467111938

The company has been managed by the same team that couldn’t take it to another level for about a decade, even though it released substantial announcements and updates on several occasions. It remains to be seen whether BYRG can prove that it has meaningful operations.We will be updating our subscribers once we have more info on BYRG!

Thus, the share price hit the highest level since the beginning of 2017.The Pink Current company, with only a $9 million market cap, provides diverse services and capital resources designed to build value from the mining, minerals, and natural resource industries in the US. CGRA focuses on acquiring or claiming land assets that contain valuable minerals and natural resources, then providing management support and logistical services necessary for the successful execution of ore mining, mineral processing, and oil and gas recovery.CGRA expects to build value by providing reserves, as well as providing processing through its joint venture partners, subsidiaries, and future processing plant(s).On top of that, the company is engaged in evaluating opportunities in the hemp and legalized cannabis sectors. It currently operates the following subsidiaries:

• Powder River Resources, Inc (oil and gas) – it operates an over 3,000-acre oil and gas field in Wyoming.
• Chewelah Properties, LLC (real estate) – it operates a 47-acre warehouse facility in Stevens County, Washington.
• Deer Trail Mines, LLC (minerals and mining) – this is a non-active company overseeing a mining operation with a 40-acre parcel and 1,000 acres adjoining leases containing silver, gold, and other precious metals.

• CG Capital, Inc (financial / business investment) – it was established to facilitate investment into domestic opportunities.
• Nutrilife Health and Wellness, Inc (consumer products) – it was established to facilitate transactions within the CBD and Hemp markets.

On Wednesday, CGRA shared a business update and strategic planning announcement, saying that it will stay focused on expansion plans of its Washington state cannabis facility, securing necessary growth funding, and making progress on its’ NutriLife CBD business launch.The company included in its business development plans the inclusion of strategic partners and the production of Delta-8 products. Delta-8 is a naturally occurring cannabinoid and derived from hemp, but unlike Delta-9 (THC), it is legalized in the 2018 Farm Bill and is not prohibited under federal law.CGRA said that certain non-performing foreign and domestic assets would be divested to reduce our overall debt load and exposure to market fluctuation. The moves will pave the way for efficient auditing and reporting.Any transformation period might provide great opportunities for investors, and CGRA is an OTC stock you should keep an eye on. With only 500 million authorized shares and with outstanding shares standing at 491 million, this might be a lucrative penny stock investment.https://twitter.com/ecgreendays/status/1427634313122783234
