is on “cruise control.”
And every single IR dept. ( of juniors that I own) never mention the relentless selling of their shares. Never do they mention the algorithms that relentlessly dump their shares! Tavi Costa, Bob Moriarity, the hedgeless horseman, Morris Hubbart, Stewart Thomson ( and all of the other blogs/newsletters that I read) always talk about the compelling values of these companies, the awesome profit margins that they have. Sure they have occasional “pops” in value, but net-net, what have the majority of these junior explorers/producers done? They continue to dilute their shares prices by continuing to do secondary offerings…..
Im guilty of being gullible enough to think that these stocks can go up.

Haven’t we been patient a long time? I want some gravy and I want it now! 🙂
Some dividend raises would help the sector. The producers can surely afford it.

Yes, not much to like about the way things are going today. Seems they’re going to trade miners with tech whether we like it or not. Frustrating with the dollar down and silver up.
Tavi Costa is right, but I wonder if he’s ever owned pm’s before. This always how they are unless the metals are really running, which is rare.

Are you referring to the possible movement in the negotiations?

Yeah, good to see some of the RINO’s go. It’s a big task, as there are a lot of them. It seems like they often get replaced by more RINO’s. I hope this isn’t the case in Louisiana with Cassidy. Voters are getting smarter, and the people doing the RINO hunting are doing their homework on the different candidates and spreading the word. It’s amazing to me that money spent wins so many campaigns.
Looks like we’re going to trade with tech today again. I see another decent start was immediately sold this am. Pretty scary if the SM actually has a real correction on the way.
Oil and rates have reversed higher. Not good for us.

Russia could have given Iran nuclear weapons at any time. Or even more assistance. They didn’t.
As long as Iran ended up without any enriched material … I’m happy.

That’s almost laughable about Russia offering. I’ve read more than once that Russian scientists were working with Iran in Iran.

D-Day For “Huuuge” Meta Layoffs Looms As AI Job Apocalypse Accelerates
‘D-Day’ for Meta layoffs is quickly approaching, as the Facebook and Instagram owner will slash 10% of its global headcount – or about 8,000 employees – in the initial round as it swaps headcount for GPUs.
Former Meta employee Adel Wu described the current situation on X, saying her millennial and Gen Z friends still at the tech company are currently “either just waiting, hoping to get laid off or extremely anxious because the job is their lifeline.”
Welcome to the accelerating AI job apocalypse, affecting white-collar youngsters with lots of student debt.
Wu described the upcoming Wednesday layoff announcement as “huuge” and noted, “I remember the very first big layoff the night before was almost like doomsday, people were stuffing their bags with free snacks and drinks and chargers.”

You’re probably right.
Unfortunately continued war means all the oil-chemical industries in the area will likely be destroyed. The world could be going into real hurt storm then!

Supposedly those planes were being pulled back to be out of the way in an impending conflict. At least that’s the way I read it.
Some new progress this morning … if that news report I posted is accurate. The Iranians are being hurt much worse than we are by the blockade. What we and they need are real statesmen to hash a peace deal out.
Pretty funny that the RINOs are being ousted!

American oil saved the world from an energy catastrophe with Iran closing Hormuz tighter than a burglary suspect in a cavity search.
Green energy was as useful as a hooker at a blood drive.

Hopefully, that’s good news about the C-17A’s which I believe are transport planes. Makes me wonder what really happened between Trump and Xi in China last week.
Oil has reversed back below $100 today FWIW.

Oil Slides After Iran Says US Agreed To Lift Oil Sanctions During Talks, Long-Term ‘Nuclear Freeze’ On Table
Saudi state-owned Al Arabiya early Monday has issued a bombshell if true (but still very much not officially confirmed), reporting that Iran has agreed to a long-term nuclear freeze instead of a complete dismantling. The outlet also reports that Iran has withdrawn its demand for compensation, instead demanding economic concessions. However, this could be highly dubious, given over the past several days Tehran has not shown willingness to back down from this demand of compensation.
It also seems Russia’s offer to take and temporarily hold Iran’s enriched uranium is being taken seriously. Here are the alleged “leaks” of the working draft peace document:
Working on a condition transfer of enriched uranium to Russia instead of the US.
Seeking multiple international guarantees for any agreement.
Wants Pakistan and Oman to have a ‘role’ in any ‘clash’ in the Strait of Hormuz.
Seeking a political formation that allows Iran to save face.
Separate the maritime route from nuclear issues.
Oil pushes lower on the additional headlines, following initial reports that the US would lift sanctions on Iranian oil during the negotiating period…

As of now anyways, indecision, bulls and bears with bulls stopping further decline but neither are in control yet. Confirmation of a continued decline, bounce or directional change needs to follow.

Particularly Covid but brings up other viruses in this category some that could he lethal like Ebola and the Hantavirus back in 22 may be rest in peace before it was known about ivermectin and other Anti parasitic medicine that can battle cancer too. He was a dedicated doctor.
Not that most of us are at risk for getting the Hantavirus because it’s not transported person to person. There is only one type known in the Andes I think it can be spread person to person but even then not highly contagious in pandemic levels. Now if you happened to be in the dessert like Arizona were rodents running around in a dust storm and they can have some bad ones or anywhere you could be at risk of inhaling infected material from rodents.
Not treated with ivermectin. But vitamins, since he didn’t mention Hanta particularly should be on prophylactic respiratory antibiotics as a side effect is pneumonia and respiratory treatment. But to use D3 and Zinc he particularly focused on zinc.
