  Our Order Pad | Vimy Resources (VMY:ASX) & Disney (DIS:NYSE)

  Felicity and Candice open up their Order Pads, and share with us through the stocks they are buying and selling this month. Felicity keeps her form, and brings us a Perth-based resource development company with a 220 million market cap, with a focus on a uranium project in Western Australia. Felicity likes this company because it’s developed into a real player in the green energy space, as getting a uranium project to be viable is extremely tricky. Then Candice brings a company with a long legacy of storytelling, and a massive market cap of $239 billion, that’s well positioned to benefit from the re-opening trade following the pandemic. It’s Disney, and she unpacks why she thinks it’s a good time to investigate this legacy media conglomerate.
