Investing in Precious Metals

[UWone77]

Damn.. I took some info from this thread and scraped up a little money (a lot to me sorta) down 76% from last week.. humm

I’m getting more and more familiar with this crap..but damn what a roller coaster..lol

I picked up a Little of that tcff, with what I can..

I like this..but Gotta have decent $$ to play with..wish I would of been around other years ago to get into this.. As I see now how some of you ball out with goodies. Me sad face as I juggle to get one build done every couple years.. :(

This thread makes me happy for you guys with deep pockets..

It's all relative man. I bet you're doing more investing than most of your family or friends.

I'm around a ton of guys investing, but they're the ones with actual deep pockets. It's amazing to see what kind of gains you can get with a lot more money. This is why I always laugh when the "poors" complain billionaires are ruining everything. They didn't steal money from the poor, they just have more capital to risk and when it pays off, it pays off exponentially. It truly takes money to make money.

^^^^What he said.

I can tell you a ton of stories to back up every word.

For the average joe the real trick is getting to the critical mass where you have options. In the beginning if you have $10K to start out with you need to reap massive returns to make money. Say you make 100% return. You've made $10K.

Yet if you have $100K you can get 20% return and make twice the amount that the other guy just made. It's a lot easier to pick the 20% gainers than it is to pick the 100% gainers as well.

Down 76%?? Dont you use stop loss orders?

[Stone]

Got in 9k more at 18.8 cents. I think I'm done. Just reducing some cost per share on other stocks on this 3 week dip as cash allows.

Is it me or does the market seem to be doing weird things... Selling on good news, up is down, right is left, profit taking at weird times..etc,etc...
Seems like a big sell off this morning. And silver and gold have been trending down when underlying fundamentals are saying it should be trending up...[bash]

[Jerry R]

Put in a "Limit Buy" this morning as it seems to be in a dip. Picked up another 5K at $0.15 even. Now tapped, everything else in the red and holding/hoping.

Welcome to my world.

One of my favorite quotes says "The market can stay irrational a lot longer than most people can remain solvent"

Hence part of the reason I have been on the sidelines for a while now.

[UWone77]

TCFF going off today, 70% gains.

Dang! That's pretty good. If you bought that two weeks ago you are doing quite well right now. Under .07 cents to over .30 cents in two weeks.

"We Got An Official Confirmed Hindenburg Omen Stock Market Crash Warning Signal"

Long article but well worth the read ASAP!

https://www.gold-eagle.com/article/we-got-official-confirmed-hindenburg-omen-stock-market-crash-warning-signal-0


Not a bad idea to sell into strength on TCFF... It can always be picked up again after a correction.

[Aragorn]

Is that what you’re doing?

[UWone77]

I don't have time to time the market. When it crashes I'm going to keep buying. Gonna keep playing the LOOOOOONG game.

Cheers to those of you that are awesome at getting out at the right time and buying back in at the right time. It's never worked out for me.

[Jerry R]

I always buy too few, and sell too soon. I'm holding for now.

Cheers to those of you that are awesome at getting out at the right time and buying back in at the right time. It's never worked out for me.

When it works out it works well. I made like $30K in about 3 weeks a few months ago. I am usually not that guy but it's something that I have had in a watch list for a few years. Just random stuff that people jump in... it's impossible to time for the most part.

[Stone]

Is that what you’re doing?

Yes, some of it. Sold off a chunk to re coup my cost basis and have stop limit orders to protect unrealized gains. Win/Win scenario. A bird in the hand:P
I would rather the price kept rising and it didnt trigger my stop limit orders. If you want a better breakdown of what I did shoot me a PM...

[Stone]

I always buy too few, and sell too soon. I'm holding for now.

Are you locking in your gains with stop limit orders?

[Aragorn]

Alright well, I’ve sold everything off. I guess let us know when to go back in!

[Stone]

WHAAAATTT???? What was your percentage gain? Did you see my post above?

Sell into strength, not sell EVERYTHING into strength.... He's sooooo craaaazy... [:D] If my rough guesstimate is right, he got around a 60% gain...[pop]

60% is nothing to shake your finger at for sure. I just don't want to pay short term capital gains unless it's like 560% [:D]

I just appreciate the hot tip Stone. Got 30k shares at .11 and another 22.5k between .16-19

[Stone]

STCG tax does suck... Your welcome on the tip, I still have 20K shares and hope she keeps rising. Lost my daytime job last week, I was wanting to get into day trading anyways. So I have to take profits off the table and protect my cost basis. 32 years of back breaking construction, I am done with that... Feels good to use my brain for work instead of beating the hell out of my body. Free's me up for time out on the land this year!![:D] No more bosses and no more time clocks[adore] How is the house coming along? Should be dried in and then some by now???

[Aragorn]

I did a little better than that. More than doubled my money in one account. .11 per share sold at like .26 and another account .17 per share sold also at .26

I don’t know the smartest way to figure the math. I figure either way with those gains I can go back in when things calm down for twice as many shares or so. Hopefully.

[Stone]

You just need two numbers to figure out the percentage of gain or loss. Example: I bought 1K shares of XYZ at $10 a share = $10,000 , then I sold all 1K shares at $15 a share= $15,000

Formula: Ending number minus starting number, divide by starting number then multiply by 100

15,000
-10,000 = 5,000 divided 10,000=.5x100= 50% gain.

[Aragorn]

I guess what I meant was I don’t know the best way to figure when exactly I need to sell or how much.

What I interpreted was that things are going to drop, that and with another individual telling me to sell everything I decided maybe that was best. Maybe I was mistaken. I’m hoping it drops back into the teens again or even lower.

Idk. What’s your crystal ball tell you? Y’all got me half wondering if I screwed up.

[Stone]

What was your percentage gain??? Just a guess but:

13500
-8500= 5000 divided by 8500=.58x100= 58% How did I do??[pop]

[Jerry R]

Sold 15K at $0.30 for a 90% gain. If it dips, I'm back in.

[Stone]

Nice job Jerry!!

[UWone77]

You've described exactly why I don't do the day trading. It seems like everytime I took profits in the past to buy on the dip, it never dipped below where I sold it for again. LOL

[Aragorn]

One account, 26,750 shares bought at .11, sold at .267

Came up with 2,942 = 7,142

2,942 / 7,142 = .411 x 100 = 41.19

So 41.19%


The other account:

3,944 = 6,032

3944 / 6032 = .6538 x 100 = 65.38

65.38%

Seeing that stock now at .30 is killing me. Kinda wish I hadn’t gotten on WEVO today.

91% combined gains is nothing to worry about... Nice job!! Your calcs are off a bit...

[Aragorn]

How you come up with 91%?

And thanks! Still hope it goes below .26 (hopefully FAR below) so I can buy back in.

[Stone]

Get it all together into 2 numbers, its alot easier.

Ending number minus starting, then divide by the starting number then times 100. I think you swapped the starting with the ending in your calculations.

Dont chase the stock at this point, thats where people loose their a$$... Thats where FOMO kicks in, 91% gains is rock star status...[:D]

[Stone]

Maybe this is easier:

What you sold it for, minus what you bought it for, divided by what you BOUGHT it for, then times 100

So Stone, sorry to hear about the day time job loss. Knowing you, you're well prepared for those kinds of incidents. So are you seriously going to day trade for a living for awhile, or plan on going back to your regular gig when you're/they're ready to go?

House is coming... slow. Had to recently fire the framers because they were taking their sweet ass time and called the backup crew in.

[Stone]

I highly doubt I am going back to that job. My plan was one more year then move into day trading full time anyways. I have alot to learn before I start trading full time, TD has an education center that has about six months worth of classes and info on it. There are lessons on line as well as many video series on youtube. The education is free, its all out there. I am currently studying mon-thurs then I go over my notes on friday and put what I learned into practice with some light trading. Made a bunch of mistatkes last week trading but learned even more by those mistakes. I figure about 3200 hours of class time and I will be GTG. Sucks about the framers, I did residential framing for 10 years...

[UWone77]

Back up slightly over .30 cents today.

[Aragorn]

.32 right now.

Kicking myself over selling.

[Stone]

5K for an hours work is nothing to kick yourself over. Create a crash buy list for the next market crash and you will be back in the game. Mistakes are how we learn... Selling into strength should have been in 5k share increments as it is rising. Then putting stop limits in place to protect your unrealized gains on the way up... Selling on the way up allows you to re coup and protect your cost basis and lock in profits...

[Stone]

@UW I know you said you hate STCG tax but do you at least take back your cost basis on your rising stocks to protect your initial investment?

I agree with this. Whether or not selling was a 'mistake' or not is too soon to tell. You can easily wake up a week from now going 'I am glad I sold when I did!'

The trick to investing isn't all about getting a grand slam every single time at bat. It's about getting those base hits and being able to identify opportunities. Consistency is more important than one big thing. If you started out with $10K and you can find an investment every other month that goes up 20% each time... after one year you will have tripled your money.

If you constantly look for that "I need to triple my money every time I put it in the stock market" kind of thing, odds are you won't get it.

[Stone]

Exactly, you have to focus on the risk and not the reward.

[Aragorn]

Well, any other good leads? Anything worth sinking that money into?

[Stone]

Safest place right now is cash. Im going to start looking for some new prospects tomorrow. We had 3 major up days on the DOW im thinking we will have a few down days here shortly, which will reduce gains.

[UWone77]

I don't believe it's necessarily going down. I think the market is in for another mini run up, simply because the 3rd stimulus will drop and there will be a influx of cash into the market. In fact I think this rally will be pretty nuts, but that's just my opinion.

https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/retail-investors-stimulus-checks-headed-for-stock-market

[Stone]

Possibly, but those stimulus checks come at a cost. With increased government spending we’ll probably see an increase in inflation, which could lead to investors pulling back.[pop]

[UWone77]

Personally, I don't think you'll see the dip really dip till 4th quarter 2021, when all the stimulus money dries up and things are opened back up. You're right though, you can't have no inflation along with a few trillion more printed money, and the market going crazy new highs.

You never know what will happen. The market can be irrational for a very long time. It was quite a while from when everyone knew there was irrational exuberance until the market actually corrected because of it. The NASDAQ went from 5,048 down to 1,140 in that route. Trying to predict what the crazy train will do next is difficult, if not impossible.

At the end of the day I heard some good advice once. "You aren't playing the game. You are playing the other players". I am definitely a fundamental investor sometimes to my detriment. By that I mean I look for fundamental reasons that will drive a stock up as the primary reason for investing. Everyone else doesn't play by those rules though. They might look at a chart and say 'it's gone up two days in a row, so it probably will go up on the third as well' without knowing anything about the company and do super short term bets on based on charts and psychology only.

It's scary because you never know when it will unravel.

[UWone77]

It's scary because you never know when it will unravel.

It's only scary for day traders, or people who can't afford to lose the money.

Yeah... I’ve been watching. Painfully.

[UWone77]

Yeah... I’ve been watching. Painfully.

This is why I'm reluctant to take profits when I double my money. For me at least, it never dips down back below where I sold it for to pick up more.

I'd still get in Aragorn. We're still basically on the ground floor. This stock is still worth 1.25, with the potential to hit 12-17 a share. Don't step over dollars to cry over pennies.

[UWone77]

[UWone77]

Unless you have 100k shares, I don't think it's worth it to sell and time the dips on a penny stock. HOLD until it's at least $1 for me.

Sixty North Gold Mining Ltd. (SXNTF)

Financials look solid along with a top notch management team. Low float as well, they wil be milling/mining in a few months as a way to cover their expenses!!! Friggen brilliant! Drill results looking amazing and their property is very accessable. Rated 9 out of 10 by Mrs. Stone which doesnt happen very often. @.0449 a share its a great time to get in early. AS ALWAYS DYODD! Near term production is the time to get into a mining company. ETA: Non-brokered shares went for .055 and warrants are at .08 a share which means todays price at .0449 a share is better than the insiders got. [:D]
Me and Mrs. Stone do our own independant analysis of the companys financials then bring the info together to collaberate on our analysis. Helps to keep a confirmation bias in check...

"The company also has an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the highly prospective contiguous 2,394 hectare Hangstone Property adjoining the Mon Property to the East and South. The Mon Property shear zones and VMS targets can be projected onto the Hangstone Property."

[Jerry R]

I bit the bullet and bought 20K at 0.042

[Stone]

Im thinking this one could be a long term hold... Or at least until gold finally tops out a few years down the road, hard to say for sure though...
With the non brokered price at .055 and warrants at .08 anything under .055 is a great deal. I beleive the IPO price was .25 I will double check that number.

[UWone77]

Tried to buy 5k more shares of TCFF on the dip to .30 today, but missed it.

"Shares of energy companies are trading lower as oil prices dip amid renewed lockdown measures in Europe, which could weaken demand for the commodity and for broader companies within the sector."

It may trend lower on the overnight markets. Maybe adjust to .25

URG
UEC
UUUU
CVVUF
FCUUF

The first three are mining companys and the last two are exploration. As always DYODD on these company's... Watch spot uranium, when it starts to rise and Cameco (CCJ) puts its cigar lake and Macarthur mines back online things will take off from there.

[UWone77]

Stone,

How's the day trading treating you so far?

[Stone]

Im doing good! I needed to get out of construction in the worst way, I finally found something I love to do so going to work is a pleasure. Actually I am doing value and growth investing for now, I still have alot to learn about actual day trading as it moves at a crazy fast pace. But even the trading I am doing now is a full time job analyzing companys and doing endless reasearch, having a blast though. Feels amazing to NOT be on someone elses schedule for the first time in my life, its liberating to say the least!

[Stone]

Heres one to keep a close eye on, Cloud Nine Web3 Technologies Inc (CLGUF) They just IPO'd in January, they are creating software that will be downloadable to a computer or cell phone and will use the unused space on those devices to mine for Bitcoin or the users choice of crpto currency. So basically people will just be trading their unused computer space to mine for crypto's and I beleive its a 50/50 split for Cloud 9 and the end user. Basically free crypto for the end user and they dont have to do anything... Can you say "free money" I think people will eat this one up with a spoon.

I did a little bit of research (finally) on TCFF from a fundamentalist perspective. Let me know if anyone is interested in it and I will create a post about it.

[mustangfreek]

Why hold back ..spill it.. :)

[alamo5000]

Why hold back ..spill it.. :)

OK. I will try to keep in as brief as I can. Which means it's going to be a long post. LOL

TCFF markets itself as a "green energy" company but that is kind of a loose term.

The basic stuff to knowing the 'gist' is knowing how oil is refined. When oil comes out of the ground they basically put it in big boilers and bring it up to temperature slowly. The light stuff goes first, then the next, and on and on. They capture each individual distillate for further purification and to blend them later into all sorts of stuff. Jet fuel, plastics, gasoline, diesel, etc are all made from various combinations of distillates.

When they get down to the very bottom of the barrel though there is stuff left over that ultimately looks like tar. It's super thick and needs to be heated so that it can be viscous enough to flow. This left over stuff is called 'residual fuel oil' (there are numerous types of this because there are lots of different grades and weights of crude out there).

Typically this residual fuel oil is used in a few different applications. Some of it has the last little bit of energy stripped out of it and then the left overs of the left overs are used to pave roads or whatever. However one of the biggest uses of residual fuel oil historically has been it fueled ships. Really really big ships. It was the primary fuel source after they stopped using coal. Everything from oil tankers onward was fueled by this type of stuff, that is until last year (2020).

Way back like a decade or two ago they planned out how to shift ocean shipping to cleaner burning distillate based fuels. The primary driver was to reduce pollution. Ships had the choice to either retrofit with expensive scrubber technology that cleans the exhaust or to change over wholesale to the new fuels. It went off basically without a hitch. IMO 2020 was literally the biggest energy turn over in our lifetimes. It was equally on par with changing from coal to other types of fuel and in many ways even much much bigger of a change.

The thing is, there is still a lot of residual fuel oil (the leftovers) from oil refining out there. There is a mad dash to figure out what to do with all that stuff but it's starting to take shape more what direction things are going.

Some ships still burn it for fuel but now they are required to have scrubber technology to clean the exhaust. Right now maybe 10-15% of ocean going vessels use this oil. The rest are using the new low sulfur distillate fuels.

What TCFF does is they created a unique additive to these residual fuel oils that loosens it up and allows it to bond with water. What they do is mix those chemicals in and then slowly blend in water to create about an 80% fuel/20% water emulsion that is a direct substitute for at the pump diesel fuel.

First benefit is the base fuel is cheap. Really cheap now. Then they can actually increase metric volume by 20% with the addition of water to form that emulsion fuel. Emulsion is basically a cooking technique where you can mix oil and water. If you've ever had eggs benedict the sauce is an emulsion. Only this stuff you can directly substitute in any diesel engine without modification.

Right now a gallon of that emulsion fuel has an at the pump price tag of around $1.80. So if you pulled up a big diesel 4wd to the pump that's what you would pay. That's about $1 to $1.30 cheaper than traditional diesel. Those two fuels (diesel and emulsion fuel) can be mixed and used interchangeably without any modification. The emulsion fuel however burns about 35% cleaner than traditional diesel (hence the 'green' label).

On the surface it looks great. But there is a lot more going on here. First off they drove those residual fuels off the ocean, but now we have to ask what happens to it now? The basic answer is it will be used for onshore electricity generation. They are proactively retrofitting or outright building new electricity generation that has built in scrubber technology. This basically captures the exhaust and very efficiently removes 99% of the bad stuff for later disposal. Scrubber technology isn't cheap but when you space it out over 20-30 years it's very viable.

Basically these residual fuels will be moved from being primarily on the oceans to primarily being on-shore. That shift is already well underway. The core material that TCFF is using for it's primary product isn't going to go unused. And that new electric generation can just burn it straight and scrub the exhaust cheaper than just buying some other type of clean fuels.

Also my personal estimation is that the oil majors will definitely NOT enable someone that will go undercut them by over a dollar per gallon. They are extremely unlikely to play ball for that to happen for any significant period of time. How and where those residual fuel oils are brokered won't be in the junk yard model going forward.

Where I DO see that kind of emulsion technology being of tremendous use is to license it to oil majors and other refineries. That will allow them to use even more of the barrel than they do now. Every bit more they use is that much more profit, especially when you are talking about massive volume amounts.

Where I see that technology having a particular impact is for them to blend it as they do but then mix it back in with traditional diesel as an additive or sorts. Sort of like how ethanol is done now with unleaded gasoline. The emulsion fuels in the current price structure are very much cheaper, and they have the benefit of having a 20% water content as well as can be blended, mixed, or used interchangeably with regular diesel.

In the longer-ish terms they might make a lot of inroads in some smaller markets without massive oil major influence but overall I personally think they will get squeezed big time. Unless they figure out how to incorporate themselves in with the oil majors for that 'additive model' I think they will remain a niche player. At the end of the day their product is STILL a fossil fuel and is still 100% dependent on current oil refining.

ELECF- Green energy royalty company. DYODD!!

[UWone77]

URG
UEC
UUUU
CVVUF
FCUUF

The first three are mining companys and the last two are exploration. As always DYODD on these company's... Watch spot uranium, when it starts to rise and Cameco (CCJ) puts its cigar lake and Macarthur mines back online things will take off from there.

I only bought UUUU out of this list after doing some research. It's been pretty good to me, up 27% just this month for me.

SXNTF up to .06 today too.

[Stone]

I'm holding:

UUUU
UEC
URG
CVVUF

Added to those on the recent dips to bring my CPS down. There is a coming bull market in uranium, the vast majority of analysts agree but there hasn't been even a peep of this from the mainstream media...

Take a good look at ARSMF They will have a monopoly on fluorspar for quite some time. They are going into production next month with $10 million
in orders before they have opened their doors. Since the USG considers fluorspar a strategic metal they will fastrack any needed future permits. Their AISC per ton is around $120 and its currently selling for $520 for the higher grade. Thats an insane profit margin for a mining company!! And that's just the tip of the iceberg of what they will be doing as far as other products they can sell.

[Stone]

SXNTF is going to start milling 100 tons a day for starters within a few weeks. Its great to see an exploration company use their current ground to generate revenue for further exploration instead of further diluting their share structure like a lot of them do. I am really stoked about them and Ares mining, I think these will do really well IMHO.

Interesting to see in less than 2 years since this thread started, GOLD is $1908 and Silver is 28.23. It was 1510 and $17 at the time.

[Former11B]

Was just talking to my dad this morning about the very same thing

I want to buy some more silver but it’s as high as I’ve ever seen it

Just goes to show that silver and precious metals are a great hedge against inflation. When I first started buying silver around $14/oz, the buying power of the dollar has literally been halved

[Aragorn]

Man, yeah I’d been looking at price of silver and thinking of selling mine to fund a new carry gun, but oof. That comment about the buying power of the dollar being halved has me waivering.

[Stone]

Nothing wrong with selling a little into strength for some walking money but silver is showing strong support at $27.80 The dollar is being printed into oblivion... Most hard assets will rise in value as inflation sets in.

[MoxyDave]

It's not a bad idea to sell some metals here and there, so you learn when & where you can sell them if you really needed to. For example if you sell to a big company like Apmex or JM Bullion they will have your info on file and it will be much easier and faster to sell to them next time.

Glad I was buying years ago ... I'm happy with 10% of my net worth in metals at the moment. I'm holding for the long haul ...

I would recommend to anyone with extra cash right now, buy everything you need or want right now. Things are just going to get more and more expensive as this recession/depression goes into full swing.

[Aragorn]

I had been thinking when I sold that I’d go to a local gold exchange store. Is online better if through one of those places?

[Stone]

Find out first what the online dealers and local stores are buying at with a quick phone call. I recently helped a friend sell 10-10 oz. silver bars. I called the local gold and silver store and he was paying spot at the the time which I felt was low since the online dealers and his business is selling bars at $5-$6 OVER spot. He went on to tell me he thought his price was fair but then said he is having a lot of trouble finding sellers! DOH![bash] So I had my friend put an add in the local Craigslist for $2.50-$3.00 over spot and within 24 hours he had 6 reply's! I told him to state in the add it was for cash only and the price was non-negotiable and also state that you are only willing to meet at your local police dept. for the sale. That keeps the rif raff away and should prevent someone from being set up and robbed. It worked well... Nothing wrong with selling to online dealers but you will have to package up the PM's in a VERY specific manner so with the shipping supplies, cost to ship and the insurance on the package you can be around $60 just to ship it to them. So if they are paying spot you will have to deduct your costs from the price they give you, you also have to wait about 2 weeks to finally get a payment processed. If the shipment gets lost or stolen then the headaches just start to add up from there. Its a sellers market so don't get low balled by a buyer who wants to take all the profit for themselves.

Latest release from SXNTF:

"Please find to follow Sixty North Gold Mining’s latest news release. We are very pleased to have commenced mobilization onto the Mon Gold Mine, to commence operations.

SIXTY NORTH GOLD ANNOUNCES MOBILIZATION OF CREW TO THE MON MINE SITE

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. – June 14, 2021) – Sixty North Gold Mining Ltd. (CSE: SXTY; FKT: 2F4; OTC-Pink: SXNTF) (the “Company” or “Sixty North Gold”)

Sixty North Gold is pleased to report that crews have commenced mobilizing to the Mon Property, Yellowknife Belt, NWT. The Company plans to reopen the existing North Ramp and extend the decline a further approximately 200 m, to access between 30,000 to 40,000 tonnes of vein material 20 m beneath the historic stopes. The Company plans to extract a bulk sample of 4,000 to 6,000 tonnes to confirm the previous mined grades from the mine. Initially crews will be setting up all of the equipment and materials that had been trucked in this past winter and underground work will commence once all preparation is complete.

Dr. Dave Webb, President & CEO, states, “Sixty North Gold continues to execute on its stated plans in preparation for extracting a bulk sample this year. We have a management team skilled in underground mining in the Yellowknife Gold belt and at the Mon Mine in particular. We are excited to have within reach our goal of bringing the permitted Mon Gold Mine back into production.”

Dr. D.R. Webb, Ph.D., P.Geol., P.Eng. is the Qualified Person within the meaning of NI 43-101 and is responsible for the technical details of this release.

About the Company

The Mon Gold Property consists of 11 contiguous mining leases and 3 mineral claims, comprising an aggregate 622 hectares, located in the South Mackenzie Mining District, NWT. The Mon Mine produced 15,000 ounces of gold from 15,000 tonnes of ore between 1989 and 1997. Permits to explore, mine and mill at 100 tpd are in place, and the Mon is the only gold project permitted for production in the NWT. Other targets on the property include recently discovered silver- and gold-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) targets, as well as shear zone-hosted gold mineralization. The shear zones are similar in nature to, and hosted in the same rocks as, the world-class deposits at the Con and Giant Mines in Yellowknife which produced 14 million oz. gold.

The Company also has an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the highly prospective and contiguous 2,394 hectare Hangstone Property adjoining the Mon Property to the East and South from an independent prospector. The Mon Property shear zone and VMS targets can be projected onto the Hangstone Property. Geochemical samples have been collected and are being shipped for analysis.

How much are those worth?

I was in banking for a while and have similar stories. Like way more crazy than that.

One guy was super nice but down on his luck was a regular customer. His parents passed away when he was young so he was raised by his grandparents.

When they both passed away he brought in a bunch of stock certificates and said "I counted them up and if they are still good at today's prices it should be around $50,000".

Little did he know but they were stock certificates from a huge company and those shares were issued in the 1950s.

He netted something like 1.3 million dollars.

A 70 year investment that yields 1.3M is actually hardly impressive.

[alamo5000]

A 70 year investment that yields 1.3M is actually hardly impressive.

I think you are mis reading. Nobody said anything about how much was invested or whatever the return was.

He counted the number of stock certificates he had and then looked up the current price at the time after his grandma died. Maybe around 2004 or somewhere around there is when all this happened.

I don't know and he didn't know what his grandparents paid. All he did was count the certificates and thought they were just still one for one, which obviously was not the case.

They bought them back in the 50s. If I recall, it was more than one purchase over several years. They kept the certificates in an old wooden trunk at the foot of his grandparents bed. After they died he looked in there and found that and more.

In reality though the stock had split many times in between issue and when I met him.

At the end of the day he came out quite nicely for getting free money.

It's definitely more a story of good luck rather than being shrewd. Guy gets raised by his grandparents. Grows up to be a lawn guy and a handyman or something like that. Finds a thousand shares of stock certificates that he's the sole heir to...nets around $1.3 million bucks.

He went from having $200 to $300 a month to eat on most of the time to having a rather nice bank account. What's not to love?

[alamo5000]

I guess from my perspective it was more interesting. I was the guy that sat him down and explained to him his flawed math and that he had $1.3 million in cash after taxes.

To me it was quite memorable breaking that news to a handyman that he was doing pretty good.

Honestly he was a really nice guy. Karma definitely played a part. He definitely must have been living right or something.

Bitcoin just cleared 51k which was a strong resistance point, should be chugging up towards 55k-60k. If you want to play the crypto game there is a safer way, crypto stocks or companies that mine for bitcoin. They have been on fire the last few weeks and should be an explosion on Tuesday morning if bitcoin holds above 50k.
RIOT
MARA
HUT
SPRT
ANY

Im in ANY in a big way, amazing management team and their financials will be coming on strong with the upcoming reverse merger with Gryphon digital. Healthy consolidation on friday put them back in a buy territory at $6.36 a share. As an example SPRT is ahead of ANY in actual mining and they spiked up $25 over the last two weeks before coming back down to around $22. Look at the charts on MARA and RIOT when btc hit 63k they spiked to $60 and $80. They have the potential to go even higher. Keep an eye on these 5 tuesday morning, gonna be some fireworks.

[Stone]

Here is where they stand right now...
RIOT- $34.43
MARA- $43.41
SPRT- $21.95
HUT- $10.67
ANY- $6.36

RIOT and MARA have been mining Bitcoin for a year now and are the top dogs for now. SPRT has a few months under their belt and HUT isnt far behind. ANY will do the reverse merger with Gryphon Digital in 45 days I beleive and just purchased their first 6000 machines but will be the only company that is running on 100% sustainable power, Solar and hydro electric which is a huge plus for them. The CEO of Gryphon Digital was the CEO of RIOT and has assembled the dream team of dream teams on the management side. Look at a one year chart on these five and it tells an amazing story. Big money is positioning in SPRT and HUT. Next week the institutionals will go after ANY. If your going to buy, your going to have to watch the pre market trading on tuesday its 3am-830am central time and position yourself then, before regular trading opens. Limit orders at the open will get smoked and passed by if the volume is anything like it was the last two weeks. I think it will be even crazier now that BTC broke the 51K mark... Even if you dont get in, watch and enjoy the fireworks!! I will post up the numbers as the day goes on...

[UWone77]

I bought around 500 shares of RIOT when it was sub $15, so I plan to sit on that. Been buying about $500 of bitcoin a month, just wish I bought more when it crashed into the high 20's, but didn't have the spare cash.

[Stone]

Nice! That was a fast run up to $80.00 back in feburary, these stocks will do even better if bitcoin hits new all time highs again. Looks like Etherum is enjoying a new bull market as well.
Uranium has finally has caught a tailwind and some of the independant experts are calling this one a supercycle, should be a good run as well. Im still trading tight and cautiously since the dow is at all time highs. My uranium picks are:

UEC
UUUU
AZZUF

URA is a good way to go if an ETF is what some are seeking. They have a really good portfolio. That Michael Burry who shorted and called the housing market crash in 2008 is in URA in a big way. Looks like the DOW and NASDAQ futures are up this morning so it should be a good day all around tommorow.

I got in on UUUU when you first mentioned it, and still up 20%, but it was definitely hitting closer to 40% not that long ago.

I'm still loading up on TCFF, especially when it dipped down .14-.16 cents. I think I have 75k shares now.

[Stone]

Yeah I'm keeping an eye on TCFF, may jump in again if the November boom takes off. Added URG yesterday, its a slower mover but their financials look real good. Spot Uranium keeps ticking up and is at $40.05 right now. Adding to ARSMF and SXNTF on the dips, both companies are on schedule and will have some good news coming out in the next 60 days... There was some fireworks in the crypto world yesterday, I highly doubt Musk's tweet was an accident in timing. These things are strategically done, its just trying to figure out why that can be the hard part. He complains about Bitcoin yet he has not sold off any of his position, somethings off with that scenario. Plus El Salvador rolled out Bitcoin as legal tender which should ultimately strengthen its longer term outlook.

[Stone]

Great article on Sphere 3d aka- ANY
"This provides us with evidence that the time to enter ANY is now, as the catalyst date (merger) being in 4Q provides the investor with ample opportunity to ride the wave in share-price up as we get closer to the October, November, and December time frame."

Uranium is on a real nice upward trend, the experts say once we clear $50-$60 it should head into over drive. It popped $2.00 over the weekend when the markets were closed, weird, but a good thing. We haven't heard a peep about uranium from the main stream news, once they finally catch wind of it folks will come piling in.

This is a re post but these guys are a few months away from going full bore on their Fluorspar mining project. They are the only permitted Fluorspar mine in the USA and Fluorspar is deemed a strategic metal by the USG which makes permitting a fast track affair. Fluorspar is used in so many different products its mind boggling and their in ground grade is 90% as is. Their profit margins will be somewhere around 80%!

Took my recent profits off the table this morning. Bubbles will be popping soon, watch out for the head fake in the markets. I don't think this is a short term correction, sold off 80% of my holdings, good time to be in cash... Still holding SXNTF and ARSMF. Its a sea of red this morning which may be followed by a few green days but the underlying fundamentals of a large downturn are still in play. Be careful, people get sucked into these bear traps... Independent billionaires have been predicting a coming major correction for the last six months or so.

[Aragorn]

And here I was just about to buy. Guess I’ll wait. Thanks for the tip.

No problem, September/October are notoriously volatile months (to the downside) on top of the craziness that going on. The denial and euphoria in the markets are at all time highs, they think it will never end, until it does. A lot of people will just con themselves into believing its just a down day and get suckered back in by a few up days that may be coming, then WHAMO!! Wait until there is blood in the streets and buy the fire sale on stocks...

[UWone77]

Yep for me, Sept and Dec are the most volatile months. Sept's dividends usually even out my losses though.

Is silver still a good option right now?

Have some funds around that I want to invest in such.

Also..I’ve took this thread and turned it into a thing. I read up on all the links. Made a decent deposit into a few trading accounts last month. Stocks are level and not doing much. The “Any” stock looks promising for the future and hold a good little sized amount

And put a bigger amount into Crypto on the other hand..lol..up over 200% on shiba and doge,bitcoin in the last 2 days.[:D]

It’s crazy on the crypto side compared to regular stonks…

All the sports companies, NASCAR , Amc and now banks saying there all taking bitcoin and others by the end of the year.. Sot down and hold on..[BD]

[UWone77]

BTC is the gold standard for me, and basically the only crypto I'm buying every paycheck.

I know this is lame, but for the stock market, index funds. Even the best money manager is hard pressed to beat an index fund in returns. 50% of my brokerage and long term retirement portfolios get allocated into index funds. 25% speculative stocks, and 25% into ETF's.

Silver is around $22. PM's are still good for diversifying your portfolio.

Enjoy the ride.

[mustangfreek]

Ok. I’m always open to advice either way.

Will have to look more into the index funds.

[Stone]

A portfolio should be based on your investing strategy and timelines. UW sounds like he is in it for the long haul, 20+ years if I am guessing correctly. I imagine he may have differing strategies at play. My long term investing strategy right now is around the 12-18 month timeline, if I don't think a stock will pay off in that time frame I wont buy in on it. But I am swing trading and doing some day trading which also means I close out certain positions within in minutes or by the end of the day. I am doing this full time as my main source of income so my strategy's are different than most. You also have to consider your risk factor, is it low medium or high? Or a mix of all three? The riskier the stock the more you have to really watch the markets and do a lot of research to stay ahead of the game... I don't own any crypto currency's but have exposure to them by owning crypto mining company's. I'm in ANY and ISWH right now... Also, having an exit strategy on a position is important, knowing when and how much to sell can make or break a trade. I would highly recommend scaling into positions when you buy, meaning if you want to ultimately buy 1000 shares of XYZ its best to pick it up in tranches of like 200 shares at a time because that way you can average in at a better price as the market fluctuates. If you have ever bought a stock then only to see the price drop the next day you will know why this strategy should apply to all trades... But if your brokerage is charging fee's for each trade you will have to factor in those charges to know the size of the tranche you need to buy.

[UWone77]

Stone brings up a great point.

What is your timeline? If you want to make money and not wait long term, you should definitely keep tabs on his suggestions in this thread for 12-18 month strategy. Otherwise long term like me (I don't plan on withdrawing for 15-20 more years) look more into index funds. Just understand risk/reward. Most brokers can't keep up with the S&P500.

[Jerry R]

Unfortunately, at my age, the timeline is rather short. [BD]

@Mustang- Just wanted to add that you shouldn't forget about capital gains tax. It will depend on your overall income for that year but its roughly 22% on gains held less than 12 months and 15% on holdings that were sold after 12 months of owning. Also, money is made on the volume of shares you hold, not so much on the price of the share. If you were to buy XYZ at $100 a share but can only afford to buy 10 shares and it rises $10 you would only make $100. If you buy ABC at $1 a share with your $1000 and it rises a $1 a share you stand to make $1000, big difference. Let your overall account balance dictate which shares you can afford and you will maximize your returns. An example is, if I have 10K to use to invest I would rather stick to stocks that are $2 or under per share. If I have 50K to invest, I would stick to stocks under $6 a share and so on. Dont let the price of a share fool you, I have watched $2 stocks go to $10 in a matter of hours and I have watched $300 stocks grind their way to $350 over 3 years... Volume is king.

Until Brandon started sabatoging the economy I thought I was set. Enough divvy stock in my Roth and decent cash cushion for rainy days. Now I need to accept some risk for future comfort. I figured I could get by on 20% less divvy income so sold that much stock and added 60% of my cash that was going to shrink drastically if I didn’t put it somewhere. My brother is pretty sharp in the market. He made and blew close to a million before he was saved by AA. Now he is on the rise again. He made a convincing case for one stock. The only other time I took his advice I bought for $1 and sold for $22 a few years later.

So I’m all in for a gold mining stock (AUY) cheap enough that I could buy a lot of shares and looks to me like safe to hold for 5-6 years if inflation is as bad as expected. If it flops my standard of living will go down, but not so much that I’ll be living month to month. I’d make different bets if I were younger, but like Jerry long term isn’t a thing.

This is why I maintain for young people, just putting your money in an index fund. Professional Money managers have a tough time consistently beating the S&P500

From 10-31-20 to 10-31-21 the S&P500 is up 42.91%

If you have extra money to invest, sure go ahead after you max out your 401k and IRA throw some money into a brokerage account and play with it. I'd rather throw an extra $8 into the market on a flier vs drink overpriced over roasted coffee at Starbucks.

But to your point Phil, my parents are in the same boat, they're into a lot more riskier investments because any day could be their last day. They're actually into BTC quite a bit (for them at least.)

I'm feeling the "retirement squeeze" as well. I was set to quit working a day job in 5-10 years but man, this fucking economy ... the 4% rule seems dead, and who knows what's going to happen to the market, my savings, etc. Just goes to show you can never get complacent about money. Even if you think you have enough, there is always that bear lurking around the corner ...

Fortunately I've been working on a new video game, and hopefully that will turn out to be more lucrative than my day job. We shall see ... it's about a year from being finished. Check it out if you have an interest in gaming:

After a month and a half drawdown in uranium stocks, year end selling (tax harvesting) along with other market down turns, uranium stocks are setting up for a real nice uptrend after the first of January. Tomorrow may be the last of a closing window to get positioned in the uranium sector. Institutional money will be coming back in very soon which means fireworks in an already small market. Im in on:

UUUU
UEC
DNN
ENCUF
PALAF
GLATF

If you want to do an ETF I highly reccomend URA or URNM for the high rollers like UW :P

Heres one for you long term guys- "FLR" Small modular reactors (SMR's) WILL be the wave of the future. Fluor Corp. is one of those rare stocks you can buy and put it away and forget about it. Nu- Scale will be IPO-ing in Q2 of 2022, another one to watch... FLR owns 60% of Nu-Scale or will after the IPO and will be building all the SMR's for Nu-Scale [:D]

[alamo5000]

I kinda think in the first few weeks of January there might be some market turbulence.

Institutions of various types are going to start executing a re-allocation of assets, but by mid February things should calm down a bit.

LOL, I'm small beans man. This house sucked up all my cash.

I keep buying a little UUUU every month, haven't had the cash to venture out to any other uranium stocks.

Keep buying Uranium every month, sell it to Hillary every month for a profit, who will then sell it to Russia, Iran or North Korea. Reinvest your uranium profit every month and repeat. You'll be a Billionaire within 2 or 3 years. Excellent long term retirement strategy.

So how's everyone's investments been doing? [:D]

Shifted to some monthly dividend ETF's before the massive drop the last month. I'm going to ride this out on monthly dividends till the end of the year-ish and keep buying BTC every 2 weeks like I have been.

Enjoy the ride gents!

I cashed out a little over a week ago. I am (as always) I am looking for opportunities and or entrance points.

[Uffdaphil]

My REIT stock is down in share price, but the dividend is holding up. The gold mining is up about 30% since I bought 6 mos. ago.

I don’t think the magnitude of the inflation crises is recognized by the general public or the market yet. When the fear really hits home I expect a lot of cash will be jumping onto the metals train.

Phil,

Which REIT are you invested in? Seems like a lot of REIT have hit bottom on stock price, but their dividends are holding steady. Is it paying quarterly?

[Former11B]

I halted my IRA contribution for the time being; I was basically burning the $ up as soon as it went in

Transitioned the bi-monthly deposit elsewhere.

[Uffdaphil]

NLY. I’ve had it for 13 years. Shares have cycled up and down several times between ~ 12 and 5. Div was .30-35/qtr for years. Still good at .22 , but with our uncertain future I don’t trust it to stay high. I sold half and kept 6K. Might sell another 2K.

[gatordev]

I Bonds just went up to 9% interest and will be there until November (when they adjust the interest rate). I decided to dump some cash into that via the Treasury website. Annual limit is $10K. The money isn't really available for 12-15 months, but if you don't need something liquid for that amount of time, it's a nice option.

I've thought about getting in on some NLY as I don't think the price will go too much lower.... but everytime I say that lately, it does [:D] Higher interest rates don't help their business model.

I've been keeping 100-120k in cash to put down on a rental, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. I'm thinking about putting it in more dividend funds or ETF's, but also considering bonds like gator mentioned.

Another bloodbath in the general markets today, been sitting in cash for a few now and I'm putting together a crash buy list. There are some great companies out there who's stock price is waaaay under valued. Starting to build a position in MARA, cant believe I have the opportunity to buy it under $12 a share. Its down around $10 today... I still think we have some more downside coming overall but would like to see the S&P find a bottom around 3800-3600 but its a hard call to know for sure.

Stone, you got any hot tips on stocks you feel are way undervalued during this slump?

[Stone]

Right now I am jumping in and out on UUUU and UEC, grabbing 10-15% gains to pay the bills. They are holding a strong support line at $5.85 and $3.30. NU-SCALE just IPO'd as SMR but that's a long term play if your interested. Small Modular Reactors will definitely be the wave of the future. URA under $19 a share is a great buy. I don't think it will be much longer until uranium stocks decouple from the main markets and head north. Hedge funds and institutions are sitting on a boatload of cash and are waiting for their algorithms to trigger initial buy in's in the general market. Sitting on a chunk of cash right now is not a bad thing but watch out for the dead cat bounces so you don't get suckered in. Here's a few great company's on my bottom turnaround list.

SMED
OESX
TGA
CPG
GOGL
GRIN
USAK
DOCS

[Stone]

Looks like a major Helium shortage is here and the underlying fundamentals in this relatively unknown sector look amazing... My top three are:

TTLHF
ARGYF
DMEHF

I'm currently holding TTLHF and ARGYF... Total helium has LINDE (LIN) (massive company) in their back pocket and has some great deals going with them. They just started selling their product and as first to market within the current explorers I believe they should print some great numbers in Q2/Q3 The recent market selloff has dragged these 3 down 50% and looks like a great entry point...

When the cannabis stocks start to turn and volume finally comes in keep an eye on:
TLRY
HYFM
CURLF
GRWG
TCNNF

I did some serious research on over 20 cannabis stocks/company's and those five are the best of the best...

Last chance to get aboard the Uranium rocket-ship that is getting ready to take off!!

For full exposure go with the URA-ETF
For single company's you cant beat UUUU, UEC, ISENF, CCJ

Put them in your watch-list but wait until after Fridays Fed speech as the market may have one last knee jerk reaction...

I'm out of cash, but super excited about TRELF (Formerly TCFF) getting that rig in place to the SBAS field. With the Russians cutting off Europe of gas this winter, I think we can see this stock hit $1+ soon. I kept loading up when it was sub .20 cents.

Stone really sent me down the rabbit hole with this one. Now that the SBAS field is starting to produce, and they may get their third line up a few weeks sooner than expected.... I really see $1 per share soon. 1-2 years, it would not surprise me if TRELF hits 2B+ market cap and returns $5+/share. I've been accumulating a few thousand here and there and over 110K Shares. Hoping to make it to 150K shares before it hits .50 cents.

Hope you guys are doing well in this bear market.

Looks like the FED may finally be done phucking up the free markets... Silver has been busting a move as well the last few days, if we can stay above $22.30 she may keep going. Keep an eye on the cannibis stocks and uranium.

Cannibis:
MSOS
TCNNF
GTBIF
CURLF
CRLBF
GRWG

Huge fan of:

ASC
NINE
RIOT
MARA

[Stone]

Bitcoin busting a move today with favorable CPI numbers and less hawkish BS from the FED. MARA and RIOT are doing well, add them to your watch/buy list...
Silver! Looking good...

NINE is looking good as well. possibly a little oversold at this point. Still a big fan of ASC and URA.

[Former11B]

Definitely time to shore up the homefront. Seeing some “sky is falling” type articles on main stream media about the implications of hyper inflation in the economy. Not that they are more reputable than others, but when they start talking about it also…. Just makes it feel all the more real.

All the recent breadth certainly seems to be a positive. https://quantifiableedges.com/an-unprecedented-breadth-trifecta-has-triggered/ With bitcoin starting to bust a move the bitcoin mining stocks are, and will do real well.

I wonder if some who predict that BTC will dip down to 12k or lower before a 2024 bull run will be true.

[Stone]

We already had a low of 15K a little while back and it seems to have bottomed then. Also, we are at the end of the 14 month bitcoin winter cycle this month. Every 3.5 years bitcoin has a 14 month or so bottoming cycle that has played out over the last 12 years. If the cycle holds true as it has, 2023 should be the start of a epic bull run with another halving coming in the near future...

[Stone]

Holy cow! You still holding that stock??? If you want a few penny stocks that will do really well buy ARSMF and IZOZF... I just pulled in a few grand on BLQC... I will probably buy in again next week. Ares and IZO are long term holds for me. You are using stop loss orders right???

[Stone]

Bitcoin is busting a move and just crossed a very psychological 40K level. With the impending ETF approvals and a halving coming in April this thing is going parabolic. The bitcoin mining stocks are about to skyrocket since they move on bitcoins price action. RIOT, CLSK are my main positions and had a great week last week. Tomorrow morning will be some major fireworks and this may be your last chance to get in at these prices. BITF and BLQC are less volatile but will do well. If you trade at all put those in your watch list...

[UWone77]

Been buying BTC 3x a month for the last 2.5 years, dollar cost averaging... it's finally paying off big time!!

[Stone]

Sweet! Not much resistance until 50k so it should be pretty smooth... Some estimates are putting it up to 250k this bull market.
