Hot Penny Stocks To Own For 2019


The last thing you want to do in a college chemistry lab is spill a beaker full of acid and run screaming to the eyewash station. But a virtual reality laboratory safety course requires you to do just that if you hope to pass the class. Well, all but the screaming. That’s optional.

Google’s latest VR project lets college students perform “hands-on” biology experiments without stepping foot in a lab. Google (GOOG) worked with remote virtual lab company Labster to create 30 labs that require a Google Daydream or the Lenovo Mirage headsets, but no safety goggles.

The first batch of classes, designed for undergraduate biology students, includes lessons on gene therapy, cytogenetics and RNA extraction. Labster has been making virtual labs for remote learning since 2013, but has focused primarily on computers. The company, based in Copenhagen, has long hoped to make the jump to VR, and idea that excites students.


“You have limitations to what you can see and do in a physical lab in the real world,” said Penny Stone, an Arizona State University student who had early access to the labs. “But in virtual reality they can pop these 3D models of molecules in front of you and you can move them around and deconstruct them.”

It’s a substantial discount to more typical book value multiples these companies have carried during healthy offshore drilling environments:

It’s the company’s second major deal since the oil market downturn began; it bought Atwood Oceanics last year for $6.9 billion.

    Oil prices are at levels we haven’t seen in years. U.S. crude topped $70 for the first since 2014, as U.S. President Donald Trump appeared increasingly likely to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal and reinforce sanctions on Tehran. In addition, OPEC has announced plans to bolster prices and cap production. For oil investors, Money Morning Global Energy Strategist Dr. Kent Moors says it’s time to buckle up.
