LInkfire delivered 51% revenue growth in Q1. Linkfire is below radar screens of most investors. In our view great opportunity. Linkfire provides smart links that lead consumers from social media to streaming platforms. Amazon Music, Apple Music and other pay Linkfire to bring consumers to their platforms. Linkfire is our top pick in the area.
Competition in the streaming industry is increasing. Linkfire is the prime tool for the streaming companies to increase their market share. Deal with Amazon Music was announced two weeks ago. we expect further deals with the majors this year.

Biovica presentation at ABS conference
Biovica is starting to move prior to FDA approval. Up 10% today. Could easily double before the FDA approval in late JUne. That would be normal pattern for similar Scandi pharma stocks. See my posts here on Xbrane where we doubled our money.
We are very bullish on Biovica. Based on Broker analyst conversations, we believe the FDA approval for their innovative cancer test should happen by end of June. The reason for this timing estimate is that Biovica submitted last piec of information that th FDA wanted in May.
