Given the ASX is dominated by resources and energy stocks, it’s perhaps not surprising that many of the biggest gainers have come from those two sectors. What is surprising, is that of the ten stocks below, seven have yet to earn a profit. Investors are likely gambling on the companies producing a profit in the near future.
