    How Do Rising Interest Rates Affect You?

    Shalom, my darlings. Since we last spoke, I’ve been extremely preoccupied changing my entire personality after spending exactly one month in Europe.

    How to invest when you don’t know what to do 

    Inflation. Deflation. Stagflation.  Markets going down week after week, only to rip up higher. Headlines don’t seem to line up and so-called experts, who claim to have seen it all before, have as many different views as there are Elon Musk lawsuits.

    I am not writing this in real time. I wrote this a month ago, before I took a hiatus to Israel and Greece and hopefully, I have now “found myself” or something of the sort. Regardless, writing this far in advance is a sure-fire way for me to hate everything I have written. (I am…

    NioCorp (NB.T) Establishes 38-Year Mine Life at Nebraska Critical Minerals Project

    This week we’ve been chatting with gold exploration CEOs who are grumpy about the spot price of Au. But at least most investors know what gold looks like, feels like and what the demand drivers are. Not so, with the critical mineral Niobium. Without context, you might assume it was the name of the next…
