ZenaTech Drones as a Service
Tripp Mann Company Overview: ZenaTech is a drone technology company specializing in drone-as-a-service solutions across a variety of industries.

Gold Is About to Break Out
A couple of weeks ago, we wrote an article about Gold being in a very bullish classic bullish triangle pattern. We said it would take a few days or weeks to get the prices above 315 on GLD.
