The results are interesting. 🤔

Ukraine has no rare earths. If Russia had any substantial economic deposits they would already be exploiting them. Russia isn’t a force in chip manufacture, nor is it killing Americans with drugs, directly or via Canada or Mexico. If Trump, or Armstrong, think peace with Russia means China problem solved, it adds a new dimension to the meaning of TDS.

Little penny stock someone mentioned here a while back.

It’s trading down at $.30 again. Every time it’s gotten down there it’s bounced back up to $.40-.45. Usually pretty quickly. You can see it on the 1 year chart. I picked up a little today and have traded that move a couple of times.

I guess it could break down, but it hasn’t in the last year.

Just saying.

That makes it assuring lol

The U.S. Department of the Interior has added copper, silver, and metallurgical coal to its list of “critical minerals,” increasing the likelihood that these materials could be included in future tariff policies.

The three materials are among 10 elements added today to the list, which is updated every three years by the U.S. Geological Survey. The list determines which minerals are included in the upcoming Section 232 tariff review of levies applied for national security purposes. It also plays a role in determining which domestic projects may receive federal support.

The Trump administration has made it a top priority to secure the supply chains of critical minerals used in the U.S., and greatly expanded the definition of what constitutes a “critical” mineral.

Several of the additions are materials that the U.S. already produces in large quantities and exports, such as metallurgical coal and boron. The USGS said that boron was added after input from industry producers in California. …

Chat GPT must be new to the pm market. Don’t they know that fundamentals are meaningless in this sector? 🤣😂😇

Funny, they usually tie the shares to the SM more than the metals and the shares outperform to the downside. Today is odd to me.

They are working hard to keep the metals in check today, despite the dollar weakness.

A 1000 year flood it is then. Maybe even more rare from the looks of it.

the metals are tied to the hip of the sinking stock market…….more to come??

As rare as a 100 year flood.

They never surprise.

Because stock prices reflect expectations, not just current metal prices. Investors may be anticipating:

• Future price rebounds in the metals.

• Improved company performance (cost cuts, higher production, better margins).

• Broader market factors (lower interest rates, weaker dollar, or inflows into mining equities).

So even if metals dip short term, sentiment and outlook can push mining stocks higher.

More like a 1000-year flood?
(100-year floods haven’t been that rare the past few years.)
😉😁

the shares aren’t getting murdered with the SM? and the metals down?

Not complaining, but that’s about as rare as a 100-year flood.

I was told this when in France last week….I didn’t think Micron was crazy enough, but was assured he is both crazy enough and very desperate, as his Globalist dreams are collapsing all around him…I was also told it would be the Foreign Legion, not regular troops, just like this article says.

This is just the mission creep that sets off major Wars……

Hecla gone wild

Wouldn’t that be great if we could just have neutral judges … who made rulings for the good of the country! Yes a pipe dream I know.

More right wing judges in the Supreme Court?

back in action before the bell.

Already many migrants are in the police forces.

That will be interesting to watch when they put guns in the hands of these migrants. Get out the popcorn.

Were going into stagflation..until next year when Europe is going into a depression, elimination of the Euro  for digital and war. Armstrong warns if you have any money in the EU get it out.

War next year,  their stock market could shut down. War will bring the interest rates up here despite stagflation. Armstrong computer doubts EU will last past 2030. So I guess that say Zelenski won’t have peace on behalf of the EU but we will with Russia. Putin even offered to build a tunnel to Alaska to help us process rare earths  All business or any money going into Ukraine from the US will be off the table including Larry Fink  per executive order.

Pretty incredible to me that the Supremos would rule against Trump on the Tariffs! Who’s running the country anyways? At times it looks like a bunch of lefty judges …

30% and Falling: How the Supreme Court Tariff Ruling Forces Unprecedented Fed Money Printing!

Today, the markets are waking up to a scenario that could reshape American economic policy forever. Kalshi prediction markets now show just a 30% chance that the Supreme Court will rule in favor of Trump’s tariffs, down a staggering 26.9 points this week.

This isn’t just another legal case; it’s a potential catalyst for the most explosive monetary expansion in American history. If the Supreme Court strikes down tariffs as unconstitutional, it will eliminate the government’s primary tool for raising revenue without taxes, leaving only one alternative: massive money printing by the Federal Reserve.

The implications are staggering. A Supreme Court ruling against tariffs would force the government into a monetary policy corner with no escape route except currency debasement.

This creates a perfect “heads I win, tails you lose” scenario for precious metals investors. Either tariffs survive and create inflationary pressures, or they get struck down and force unprecedented money printing.

The Constitutional Crisis That Forces Change

The Supreme Court case represents more than a legal dispute; it’s a fundamental challenge to the executive branch’s ability to manage trade policy and government finances.

Trump’s tariff regime has generated hundreds of billions in revenue, providing a crucial funding source that allows the government to avoid raising taxes or cutting spending.

If the Court rules that these tariffs exceed constitutional authority, it doesn’t just eliminate a trade tool; it eliminates a massive revenue stream at the worst possible time.

The timing couldn’t be more precarious. With national debt exceeding $38 trillion and annual interest payments consuming over $1 trillion, the government is already operating at the edge of fiscal sustainability.

Tariff revenues have provided a critical buffer, allowing politicians to avoid the painful choices between tax increases and spending cuts.

A Supreme Court ruling that eliminates this revenue source would create an immediate fiscal crisis that demands an immediate response.

But way wrong. A peace deal with Ukraine and Russia is being presented. What if Russia and US and Ukraine get together with the help of Armstrong who understands what going on  was called. If China is reacting to that now as far as metals and rare earths which they want to control is the reason I don’t know. As far as Zekenski if he does not agree we pull out of NATO. Fink won’t be too happy..This is really good.
