SKRR Exploration (SKRR.V) advances multiple metal projects in Saskatchewan
Gold is acting like a moody teenager. It’s up. It’s down. It’s insufferably braggadocios. Suddenly – it hates itself. Over the last 12-months, bullion is up USD $125/ounce (+7%), over the last 30 days, it’s down $52/ounce (-2.7%) to $1,900. “Gold and silver prices are sharply down and hit two-month lows in midday U.S. trading…

Crypto Lingo: The Complete Beginners Guide
There are certain things in this life that I have accepted I will never understand. First things first, does anyone honestly know what “cookies” are? (The computer kind, obviously, the bakery version is self-explanatory – and far superior). For the last 10 years of my existence, whether browsing a suspect or credible website, I have…

Azincourt Energy (AAZ.V) advances uranium project in Athabasca Basin
Uranium is required for nuclear power plants. Like aeroplanes, when something goes wrong with nuclear – it’s dramatic – it makes headlines and burns into everyone’s brain.

The $BECKY Portfolio: It Pays to be Basic.
As a white woman it is basically sacrilegious to have not yet talked to you about Becky. Growing up in Westside Vancouver, I was inundated with Becky moms and young, bouncy Becky’s to-be. Before I go into it, I must clarify that a Becky should not be confused with a Karen. They are similar in…

There is a famous anecdote about a super-star car salesman who adopted a simple career strategy: every January he researched the most popular vehicles and changed dealerships if necessary to make sure he was always selling the hottest product.

How to Buy Cryptocurrency. (In Canada). (Eh).
There are two words in the English language that you will never hear me say consecutively: can’t complain. Can’t complain! Who on this earth literally can’t complain?! What possible concoction of drugs are you taking to live in such a euphoric bliss that you can’t complain? Follow up question, can I have some? (I’ll pay). In this…

Karim Rayani’s world: Falcon Gold (FG.V) and Marvel Discovery (MARV.V)
Gold is currently trading around USD $1,945/ounce – up $200/ounce in the last year. The current macro argument for high gold prices hinges on the accelerating degradation of fiat currency (paper), through money printing. The same argument was in vogue in ten years ago.

The Pending Energy Crisis and Other Girly Things
Forty-three years ago, my favorite writer published an essay on Woody Allen’s late- ‘70s oeuvre titled, “Letter From Manhattan”. In it, Joan Didion described a body of work whose popularity she professed to find “interesting, and rather astonishing.” She went on to say that Allen’s characters possess “the false and desperate knowingness of the smartest…
