 Let me just set the stage for you as I reveal my top pick for 2024. It is a duro clean technology for all of you guys who want the goods up front. It is indeed a duro clean technologies. I've been covering the story since November of 2022. 2023 was a fantastic movement forward in the initiative that a duro is looking to advance in their technology. Hydrochemolytic technology and I find no better stock to highlight for 2023 for would-be investors out there that are interested in the plastic recycling space and to highlight some of the many milestones in 2023. It was seemingly rapid fire in 2023 of positive information for a duro. Many new senior executives hired on with the company to take part in advancing this initiative over the next couple of years. Some fantastic finalization of both of the reactors, the bitumen and the plastic recycling reactors to begin engaging in their customer relations and finally their addition to the OTCQB QX markets which is the quality board markets which really separates a duro from the pack in a market that has gained no favor in 2023. Microcap stocks has been absolutely dismal in 2023 and I find it interesting that in the face of that headwind a duro really has stood up really apart from the pack because the good work that is going on at a duro clean technologies both in the forward-facing arena with the many press releases that they have allowed us to become preppy to. I'm going to highlight a couple in this video but I think more importantly what's going on behind the scenes with the duro. We are abreast of the progress that is being made in the Game Changer program. We have December having just entered into December of 2023 some insights to expect that we could have a program update due to us shortly. I would encourage everyone with a bated breath to await those announcements because this company is making progress on all fronts. Before we get started I want everybody to understand my shares in November in a duro clean technologies went through a change from a short-term posture to long-term posture. I own 28,000 shares of the company each of the shares and their cost basis are provided to you in the description below. Why am I transparent about that information? It is very important for the message to be conveyed in a way that I want it to be conveyed and more importantly to be received in a manner that is received in a way that I want it to be received. It's incumbent upon me to make sure that we are keeping the focus around a core message of awareness. A duro is doing enough to garner positive attention and I in no shorter wish to pay forward those accomplishments and to share those accomplishments and to highlight for would-be investors out there or would-be patrons or anybody interested in the general plastic recycling space that chooses to come by and catch the message. What we are not looking to do is generate hype around this company. I am extremely bullish around the prospects and the potential of this company but as the word implies potential has to be realized and as of late a duro has silently went on a phenomenal move to the north. The stock has almost doubled since the fall of last year and it has done so silently. And this is what happens when you are getting in on a company before it is discovered. There is a significant amount of patience that has to be deployed. There is an understanding that if you are getting in on the ground floor that certain developments need to take hold. This has been a development year for a duro. It has been a phenomenal year. It is not my intention to sell you that there is a plastic problem. Let me break it down to you my friends investing really comes down to one thing for me. Aside from me feeling positive about this initiative investing comes down to money and it comes down to your decision to either do or not to do as it pertains to a duro clean technologies. I would encourage you each to visit a durocleantech.com. The link will be provided in the description below. Start to immerse yourself in what a duro clean technologies is trying to do along their three verticals count them three and I think you will soon find out here that there is a lot to be excited about when we are sharing these awareness pieces about a duro. We are going to review the stock price as it has evolved over the last 12 months and as it has started to accelerate over the last month specifically. I believe in anticipation of some big news coming down the pike and to highlight the latest press release on a duro with regard to a multi-billion dollar petrochemical company that has just released furthering not only their funding but their interest in their customer engagement program with a duro because the results were so promising. I encourage to read the press release in its totality. I will highlight the location. We're going to go over a few locations in this video but I just want to end 2023 by saying it has been a blockbuster year for this company in non-condusive markets and I believe they've earned everything that they've got. We will be closely monitoring the progress in 2024. We will continue to be patient around this name. We will continue to share and pay the story forward and we will continue to track the stock performance and provide those highlights of the company as they are made possible to us. So with that guys, let's jump in here. We'll take a look at the stock performance in 2023 as well as highlight the most recent press release by a duro clean technologies. Let's get right into it. Important to jump in here and take a look at the stock action in a duro clean technology. The charts can really tell us a lot in face of what has been a really terrible microcap market. A duro has bucked the trend in 2023 and I think their performance as a standalone company has been nothing short of remarkable but I think coupled against a market that has been very very tough with significant headwinds in the macroeconomic environment, it just speaks to the incredible year that a duro has had in 2023. Now this is a one month chart here and I want to compare here the close to 17% performance just this month and kind of look at this thing from a year's perspective going back just close to 33.5% over the last year sitting at about 87 cents. This is in US dollars. This is tracking the for the US investors the ticker symbol ACTHF. This is also available on a duro's website which has just been newly revamped. I would encourage you to kick over and take a look. Just absolutely fantastic stock performance here in 2023. I think the prudent question for would-be investors or new followers to the story is to continue to track this story as we look for pivotal catalysts which could come as soon as this month here in December as that was earmarked to anticipate another update to the game changer program. I don't know if the stock move here today is in anticipation of that or the momentum that has been building over the last month as reflected here on the stock charts is anticipating what I presume is going to be a catalyst and newsworthy and really has the opportunity to move the stock significantly based on the announcement surrounding the game changer program that has been 12 months in the making going back to November of 2022. I as many of the other share owners in the company are eagerly awaiting those results but wanted to put the visual in front of you guys for how well the stock has performed over the last year and looking into 2024 for continued outperformance in the stock. Again navigating aduro clean technology's new revamped website. I'm going to leave a link in the description below for you guys. You're going to need to go in there and educate yourself up on this but the latest news release that is a couple of days old I felt like really it really changed the game and added to existing validation to the hydrochymaletic technology that aduro sports here and I highly recommend you guys kick in here and take a look at this because when I read through this it just piled on to what has been a year of significant news in advancing this company's technology forward. Prior to this announcement we had third-party validation over the technology as well as some significant backing by some of the who's who in upper management specifically Mr. Appelman with aduro clean technologies but until this tech this latest news release on the continued testing and validation by a multi-billion dollar company yet to be named this requires investors to take note and I'm not going to read the news release for you I just want to invite you to get on here and take a look at this but aduro clean technologies expands technology evaluation scope with leading petrochemical company I'm certain that in due time we will understand the company and the specifics surrounding this news release but make no mistake about it this being a couple of days old will need time to saturate into the market and allow would-be share owners to really interpret this information and allow themselves to continue to build on the bullish thesis that's building behind this company and I really want you guys to consider at the very minimum following the company that will cost you nothing but as far as really immersing yourself in what aduro is trying to do and then maybe potentially considering an actual stake in this company just imagine for yourself what a thousand share position at this point could potentially mean for you and your bottom line I think for a lot of people this could really accelerate people in becoming part of this story you're going to have to do your own due diligence on this but as I've explained at the top of this video I'm long with you guys I do this for information I do this to share both the good the neutral and the bad information if it's out there on this company and I am steadfast and that's why aduro is my conviction pick for 2024 and I think it is incumbent upon would-be investors out there to ask themselves what could a potential share ownership in this company mean in really pledging your devotion to what these guys are trying to do here in tackling the plastic problem globally now I will read the opening remarks here and then highlight a particular part of this news release that I found incredible aduro clean technologies a Canadian technology company using the power of chemistry to transform lower value feedstock like waste plastics heavy bitumen and renewable oils into resources for the 21st century so excited to announce the expansion of its phase one testing scope with a major global energy company I repeat a major global energy company guys you have to take a couple of moments to take note the significance of this news release which recently joined the company's consumer engagement program so just recently this news has come to the forefront and I'm sharing it with you this expansion follows the company's previous announcement on October 11 2023 and reflects the participants growing interest in exploring the potential of aduro's hydrochemical technology so you know one month old here this company is basically doubling down I read it with the lens of a bullish you know investor and I would encourage you to read it with your own prism and glean your own perspective in what aduro is looking to communicate here going into the year's end and really setting themselves up for multiple cluster engagements we knew that this was coming guys and this is just one a very significant validation on what a client or a potential customer is actually willing to continue to explore with aduro's technology aduro's excited about the positive as roots of course the lead to the project expansion but also by the potential to increase its broad understanding of diverse real life waste feed stocks so both parties do really benefit from this relationship the additional testing will include a more diverse range of waste plastic materials specifically targeting those with higher concentrations of pet polyurethane metals and other challenging contaminants the development indicates the participants interest in assessing the broader capabilities of aduro's technology I found that to be the key in the news release it's worth it for you to go in and take a look at that the expanded scope will provide important data that will support the company's development and scale up program as well as an increase the respective project funding commitment for phase one testing by 450 percent respective increase the respective project funding commitment for phase one testing by 450 percent guys that is not to be understated this is huge aduro is really silently working against pressure that is backfilling on a stock that is significantly undervalued at this particular juncture I invite you to adurocleantech.com and read this a couple day old news release here for yourself in its entirety it is that important and the goings on at aduro this just gives you a small peek behind the curtain as to the continued development of their technology and moving it from small scale customer engagements to the eventual scaling up of their technology as we look to engage with multiple customers so as we come out of the stock performance and highlighting the press release that was just released I want you guys in closing to think about a couple of things opportunities present themselves in many different forms now with the emergence of social media I find it ironic how socially acceptable something like going into a casino and taking your capital and subjecting it to a hundred percent catastrophic loss or yes in fact if you feel like you're the luckiest fella ever to a hundred percent catastrophic gain but what I find interesting is that we all know the cliche that in the end the casino is the one that wins they are the ones that win furthermore I want to really highlight the psychology behind how socially acceptable that type of behavior is and how ironically when we look at an opportunity like aduro clean technologies we want to justify moving away from it we want to justify why they will not to realize their potential why potentially their technology does not work why we do not want to spend a few moments just reviewing for ourselves and coming up with an educated decision as to why I feel this could be a life-changing investment opportunities and sometimes the most obvious things for investors are the hardest things for investors to see and those are the ones that are right in front of your face we're going to continue to pay forward this information because I think that this company is catching fire now I think it has been on a northward move the stock very rarely outside of some normal pullbacks in the stock doesn't go down very often and it doesn't provide very many injection points the stock charts on aduro are phenomenal and they are intact and moving into 2024 I would encourage you to look at this with the lens of opportunity aduro presents what I feel like is one of the greatest opportunities that I have seen in my over 20 years of investment experience I am long the shares as I disclosed at the top of the video I will continue to hold those shares my intention is not to add any more into this this upswing in the stock that I've noticed with momentum but to continue to convey the highlights as we move into 2024 and looking to follow and monitor this story closely as new customer engagement developments are announced new customers are brought online and the inevitable scale up over this game-changing technology hydrochamalytic moves into more of a significant scaled approach to really look and to solve the world's plastic problem as I appreciate you tuning in to this update on aduro clean technology again check out the website educate yourself up I would encourage each and every investor to do their own due diligence when looking at companies and opportunities as rare as that might be that are presented by aduro clean technologies if you enjoy the content please hit the thumbs up button subscribe to the
