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. I now wear a necklace engraved with my Hebrew name, begin my newsletters with “Shalom, my darlings”, and not-at-all casually begin every other sentence with “Oh, well when I was in Israel…” (strong…

How To Start Investing: A Guide for Cool Girls Only.

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…

Revive Therapeutics (RVV.C) clears FDA hurdles

Last year Big Pharma unleashed 1,500 lobbyists to Washington, DC, who then cut cheques for $177 million to keep drug costs high. The lobbyists deserve bonuses. The average U.S. citizen spends $1,200 per year on prescription medicines, while people in other western countries spend an average of $550/year. Public health data indicates that the gluttony…

Uranium is the Future: Azincourt Energy (AAZ.V), Sky Harbour (SYH.V), Blue Sky (BSK.V), Standard Uranium (STND.V) in focus

Attempting to beat global warming without nuclear energy is like The Edmonton Oilers trying to win The Stanley Cup without Connor McDavid. A valiant enterprise with hopeful subplots – but unlikely to succeed. Many Canucks are stressed out that a Canadian team has not won The Stanley Cup for 29 years. The global warming issue…

PSA: It is Actually Not Okay to Not be Okay

My mother tells me that “it is okay to not be okay”. This sort of thing comforts me for a moment until I realize that this quirky little phrase can only derive from one place: there are people out there saying and behaving like it is not okay to not be okay. Or (another realization),…

Altaley Mining (ATLY.V): 1st Mexican mine generates $98 million in 2021 to fund 2nd Mexican mine

The May 24, 2022 “In Gold We Trust Stagflation 2.0” report predicts that gold will push back to $2,000 an ounce in 2022 and get up to $5,000 an ounce by 2030. “Just as in 2018, when we warned of the inevitable consequences of the attempted turning of the monetary tides, we are now issuing…

Time Value: Of Money and Of Self

Last week was my birthday. And as they say, “you can cry if you want to”. (Which I usually do. It is my perpetual issue with the notion of time – probably an anxiety that I should save for my therapist, but here we are, Substack will have to suffice). Time has always been a…

Small cap, big upside: drilling into Falcon Gold (FG.V) & Kermode Resources (KLM.V)

As May, 2022 rolls on, gold is looking like a pandemic-weary survivor. The variants that were predicted to kill it (spiking interest rates) – failed to do so; the vaccines that were predicted to give benefit (high inflation) – provided little relief. Gold is currently stumbling around in a face mask, humbled, immuno-compromised, lonely and…

Gold, silver, copper: Brixton Metals (BBB.V) expands BC Thorn copper-gold-silver project

Brixton Metals (BBB.V) owns four exploration projects: Note: Hog Heaven is under option to Ivanhoe Electric. The three primary targeted metals (gold, silver, copper) are all attracting inflows of investor dollars. Macro economic data (money printing, global debt) supports bullish gold sentiment. Solar power is a massive demand driver for silver. The electrification of everything…
