First Republic Bank troubles weigh in on stock markets
As earnings continue to come out mixed, and raising the probabilities of an upcoming recession, leave it to the regional banks to once again take center stage. Many analysts warned that the regional bank crisis is not over when you consider the fact that deposits are shrinking, lending (a bank’s primary business) is slowing, and…

Short bet against Canadian Bank TD increases by 45%
Two weeks ago, Canadian bank Toronto-Dominion (TD) became the world’s most shorted bank. Hedge fund bets against TD hit $4.2 billion.

Does this weeks earnings point to a recession?
The US stock markets continue their chop fest and range as the rally to start 2023 is set to be tested by first quarter earnings.

Silver demand hits record highs in all categories
With headlines of inflation, market uncertainty, bank troubles, impending recession headlines, and geopolitical risks increasing, one can understand why money is running into hard assets. I have always maintained that gold (and silver because it follows the price action of gold!) will go up when there is a sense of a confidence crisis. When people…

Evolution Potash: A better way to produce eco-friendly potash
Agriculture was once making major headlines due to the war in Ukraine. It seems that those headlines have subsided, however food inflation remains to be a concerning topic for the middle class. A lot of this has to do with supply chains and the pressure on agriculture. Agriculture doesn’t get much love from long term…

Is it time to go long Natural Gas?
From a technical analysis perspective, it appears as if natural gas has bottomed. Is it now time to go long natural gas? I am approaching this from a trading/medium term perspective. From a long term/investing perspective I do believe natural gas has a promising future. Liquified natural gas (LNG) has been making recent headlines given…

Source Rock Royalties (SRR.V): Canada’s only publicly listed junior pure oil & gas royalty play
My readers know that I love royalty and streaming companies. I really do believe it is one of the best business models ever created. Streaming companies give cash to mining companies in exchange for a share of the mine’s future metal sales. Equity Guru writer Lukas Kane summarizes it nicely: It’s like lending someone $10,000…

Cannabis stocks set for a reversal?
I love to look for beat up sectors. From a fundamental perspective, perhaps there are deals out there waiting to be made. From a technical perspective, all markets move in cycles. Nothing moves in an uptrend forever or a downtrend forever. When I find beat up sectors that meet my technical criteria, I get excited.…
