- Mania and Depression. Peaks and Valleys.
Junior miners start with a claim, a geologist, hope, some spare change, and then a press release. A speculator’s job is to provide the spare change to the companies with good prospects, and at the right time. What is the right time for us?

- Let’s Turn Back Our Clocks Every Night
Here in the US, most of us shifted from daylight time to standard time over this past weekend. Most of us had the opportunity to sleep an extra hour. For free! More sleep means more health, more ability to tolerate stress, more consolidation of what we learned the previous day. It’s a wonderful thing.

We just borrowed it. We’ll have to pay it back in March. You know that. I know that. But just for a moment…

- MONTHLY ISSUE: The Almighty Warrant
Carnage. That’s what yesterday’s markets seemed like to many of us here at the New Orleans Investment Conference, and most anywhere else. Is this blood in the streets? Not really. But it is the type of day that makes you question your thinking. Questioning is fine, wise, worthwhile. After all, maybe the other guys are right. Maybe we’re wrong. Or maybe we are right, but not yet. That’s the usual mantra. The market can stay irrational longer than we can stay solvent? Or we’re right, but those in the wrong are controlling all the levers and they can pull those levers harder and keep their…
- Learning to Speak Junior Mining Finance
Until a mine is built, a junior has one product to sell: its own shares. Part 1 covered the rock and the paperwork. This letter covers how a junior raises capital, the terms it offers investors, and the tax complications that arise on either side of the border. Most of the deals we see are Canadian companies, so the focus of this letter is there. I hope the Aussies and occasional Europeans forgive me.

- The Collapse of Western Civilization Is Accelerating
Doug called in today from a hotel room in New Orleans, where the New Orleans Investment Conference starts this week. He told me he doesn’t plan to come back to this or any other conference. Doug has been raising this topic since 2016: Doug: “There’s a good chance we’re actually gonna go over the precipice.” His argument is structural. Every problem gets a new layer of people to solve it, and the layer never goes away after the problem does. Things get bigger, more top-heavy, more corrupt and less resilient. He compares it to the collapse of the Bronze Age and the start of the Dark Ages after…
- Learning to Speak Rock
A junior mining news release is written in a dialect. A speculator needs to know the lingo. The vocabulary takes more than one letter to present. This is Part 1: the rock and the paperwork. Part 2 covers the money. Part 3 covers the economics and the markets and the methods. I figure I will revise and update these, in part based on your comments and suggestions, and turn them into a PDF to help new subscribers (and old ones) orient to the language.

- Inhaling This Gas Won’t Make Politicians Any Smarter
Helium is the third most abundant element in the universe—after hydrogen and stupidity. But it is rare on Earth, because when it gets out of the crust and into the air, it rises up through the atmosphere and leaves the planet. On October 23, Energy Secretary Chris Wright designated helium a critical material. The Department of Energy has noticed helium. We should notice it too.

- Smoking a PIPE: Private Investments in Public Equity
Two years ago, Axcap Ventures was a C$40 million gold explorer selling shares for pennies. This month, SSR Mining agreed to buy it—now renamed Roxmore Resources—for about C$655 million, plus shares of a new small explorer provisionally called SpinCo, with closing expected in December 2026. Our paid subscribers got to enjoy this ride VIP and Founder members. On October 29, 2024, we presented to VIPs a place in Axcap’s private placement alongside Doug Casey. Axcap was a public company, and therefore this placement is considered a Private Investment in Public Equity , known as a PIPE . Doug…
- Nobody Voted For This
Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution says all bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives . Toss that right in the sewer. The US Constitution is now little more than a rhetorical weapon for those not in power to use against those in power, while those in power ignore it. Four years later, reverse the parties, same crap.
