Unicorn Dolly Varden Silver: Captures the Attention of Major Players; Only 8% Public Float

from Kerry Lutz's Financial Survival Network

We sat down with Shawn Khunkhun, CEO of Dolly Varden Silver, (🇺🇸DOLLF — 🇨🇦DV new sponsor) and dove into its unique strategy and recent successes. DV has been hitting high-grade gold and silver, most recently 79.4 g/t gold over 12.35 meters. The results have well exceeded Shawn’s optimistic expectations. The 2024 drilling season is getting off to the earliest start in many years, due to the lack of snow fall in British Columbia. The company will have 3 drills turning and plans for an updated resource estimate at in the future. It has an attractive capital structure, with a public float of just 8 percent. Interest expressed by major miners and large financial institutions has been increasing together with the price of gold and silver. The company recently raised C$15 million and has enough cash on-hand to meet its obligations for the next two years. While “Silver” is part of DV’s moniker, Shawn discussed the company’s substantial gold resources, which now equal its silver resources. He believes that Eric Sprott’s $300 silver is a real possibility. With the company selling at just $1 per ounce in the ground, a substantial discount to historic levels of similar companies, that price could increase substantially, which is why we own shares.

FPX Nickel Initiates Steps Advancing Baptiste Nickel Project with CEO Martin Turenne

from Kerry Lutz's Financial Survival Network

We sat down with Martin Turenne, CEO of FPX Nickel (🇺🇸FPOCF — 🇨🇦FPX) to discuss the company’s financial state and its numerous strategic advancements. FPX has an impressive cash hoard, recently increasing from $30 million to $45 million, leaving the company fully funded for the next 2 years. This is the result of transformative investments from large strategic corporate investors like Sumitomo Metal Mining, a Japanese leader. He also delves into FPX’s innovative and collaborative approach to develop the Baptiste nickel project in British Columbia.

Martin has been forming important partnerships with major entities like Sumitomo, JOGMEC (a Japanese Government entity) and Prime Planet Energy and Solutions (a joint venture of Toyota and Panasonic), showcasing FPX Nickel’s integration into the Japanese battery metals ecosystem. The cost of admission to this exclusive club is increasing, requiring equity investment at a substantial premium to market. He emphasizes the innovative nature of FPX’s mining projects, including exploiting novel Awaruite nickel deposits in Canada and eventually elsewhere. The company’s commitment to environmental stewardship is key to its collaborative community engagement.

The broader market dynamics of nickel and copper prices were covered, providing insights into the industry’s financial landscape. Martin made the case that the company’s superior financial position and prospectivity is not reflected in the company’s current market undervaluation. As things move ahead, he’s confident that this will change greatly.

Government & Media Pretending Massive Health Crisis Not Going On – Ed Dowd

by Greg Hunter
USA Watchdog

Former Wall Street money manager Ed Dowd is still a skillful number cruncher. His recently updated and wildly popular book “Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021, 2022 and 2023” has been correctly documenting the huge numbers of deaths and injuries caused by the CV19 bioweapon vax. Many are waking up to this crime against humanity, but many remain in the dark because the government and Lying Legacy Media (LLM) continue to cover up the worst murder and disability fraud in world history. Dowd says, “At this point, it’s overwhelming and has become almost comical. . . . This is asymmetric information. So, we have governments and media continuing to pretend a massive health crisis with chronic illness, deaths and disabilities is not going on. The data would suggest otherwise. . . . The data we have made public is free, but some people want projections and decision-making ideas. These are things we might end up starting a business from. I would have never thought we could. This is what asymmetric information does, and the government and the media are suppressing this information.”

Banks’ Exposure to CRE Loans by Bank Size

by Wolf Richter
Wolf Street

When CRE hits investors, fine, they were paid to take those risks. But we’re a little more squeamish when it comes to banks.

Commercial Real Estate loans amount to about $5 trillion. Not all CRE sectors are in trouble. At one end of the spectrum: Industrial is still in good shape. At the other end of the spectrum: office is in terrible shape. Somewhere in the middle: There have been some big defaults in multifamily, but the sector is in much better shape than office.

The 4,026 or so FDIC-insured commercial banks held $2.4 trillion of CRE loans at the end of 2023, according to FDIC data, amounting to roughly 10% of their total assets of $23.7 trillion. So banks hold a little less than half of CRE loans, and those loans are about 10% of their total assets.

Bread and Circuses: What it Means for Once-Great Nations

from Zero Hedge

Authored by Nicole James via The Epoch Times,

Democracy, that ever-so-fleeting fancy, has a tendency to tumble into a bit of a tizz before it topples over, panting and gasping like a winded walrus.

John Adams, ever the prophet of doom, once quipped, “Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself”—a sentiment echoing through the corridors of time.

And sounding much like the belch of a senator post-banquet in ancient Rome, where democracy was more a concept for philosophical banter than a practice.

Collective Debt – We Must All Pay for Student Loans

by Martin Armstrong
Armstrong Economics

Biden is destroying the financial future of generations with his reckless spending in an attempt to buy votes. Fed Chair Powell nearly admitted it in his interview with 60 Minutes in which he urged the government to show restraint when plunging the nation deeper into debt. Biden and the Democrats are cheering that he will “cancel” debt for an additional 277,000 under the SAVE plan. Do people not realize by now that the taxpayer is paying for this debt cancelation?

Biden already “forgave” the debts of 4.3 million borrowers, but the banks have not, and neither have the universities. The liberals believe the Big Guy is magically opening his wallet or waving a magic wand and making the debt disappear. NO – the lenders will receive a repayment, but now WE, the people, must pay for the debts of a few.

3. Their orders in the past year were to stack Gold, as we reported in November 2023.

4. Silver and gold stacking is the cornerstone of their crafted and clever strategy of economic warfare.

Sound Money vs. Fiat Currency: Trade and Credit Are the Wild Cards

by Charles Hugh Smith
Of Two Minds

We need to start thinking outside the current system, which has no solutions.

Our convictions about money are quasi-religious: heretics are burned at the stake. I’m not sure which stake I’ll be tied to, because all the conventional choices–fiat currency, sound money (gold, Bitcoin) or debt-free currency (a.k.a. MMT)–are all fatally flawed.

To understand why, consider the wild cards in any monetary system: global trade and credit. Let’s start with credit, which as David Graeber explained in his book Debt: The First 5,000 Years, has been an integral component of monetary arrangements since the dawn of civilization.

Taxes must be paid and seed purchased for the next crop, and so credit in some form–notched sticks, bills of sale, purchase orders, loans–is the lifeblood of commerce and state revenues. Credit naturally divides into short-term commercial credit–credit extended until the goods or payment are delivered–and longer term credit secured by collateral.

This Terrifies the Regime

by Jeffrey Tucker
Daily Reckoning

In April 2020, I confidently predicted a political revolt, a movement against masks, a population-wide revulsion against the elites, a demand to reject “social distancing” and streaming-only life, plus widespread disgust at everything and everyone involved.

I was off by four years. It looks like the backlash may finally be here. New literature is emerging to document it all.

The new book White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy is a viciously partisan, histrionic and gravely inaccurate account that gets nearly everything wrong but one: Vast swaths of the public are fed up, not with democracy but its opposite of ruling-class hegemony.

The revolt is not racial and not geographically determined. It’s not even about left and right, categories that are mostly a distraction. It’s class-based in large part but more precisely about the rulers versus the ruled.

Rand Paul: Mike Johnson Voting with Democrats On FISA, Spending ‘Abdicating the Power of the Purse’

by Jeff Poor
Breitbart.com

During this week’s broadcast of FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for voting along with Democrats on two key subjects — the renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) last week and a $1.2 trillion budget package last month.

Paul acknowledged that Senate Republicans were also partly to blame. However, he accused Johnson of abdicating the power of the purse.

“I want to also ask you about what you heard from the speaker regarding FISA,” host Maria Bartiromo asked. “Can we trust government? Can we trust government to use FISA appropriately and legally?”

“Absolutely not,” Paul replied. “Americans shouldn’t be spied on by their own government. The Fourth Amendment was put in by our founding fathers to protect us. FISA doesn’t obey the Fourth Amendment.

Don’t Forget to Claim Drug Dealing Income On Your Taxes

According to IRS guidance, any income derived from illegal activity is taxable, and there’s no statute of limitations on when they can go after you.

by Joe Lancaster
Reason.com

As just about every American adult knows and is dreading, Monday, April 15, is Tax Day. Each year, taxpayers scrounge together each income statement the government requires and any random receipt that may result in a modest deduction in the amount they’re expected to pay.

The IRS wants taxpayers to know that if you made money from anything illegal last year—stealing, selling illegal drugs, taking bribes—then that’s taxable, too.

Last year, Americans spent 6.5 billion hours doing their taxes, which translates to roughly $260 billion in lost productivity. That’s in addition to the $104 billion they spent in direct costs on the actual tax filing and preparation.

Much of that complexity stems from the amount of deductions and carve-outs the tax law allows, as well as the types of revenue required to be treated as taxable income.

The Bargain with Government is Coming Apart

by P.F. Kelly, Jr.
American Thinker

Imagine you are a mouse — a placid little creature — living in a labyrinth. You don’t know it’s a labyrinth; it’s just where you live. You follow a well worn path, meandering along, chasing the red button. The red button provides you with food or whatever makes you happy.

But you’ve started to notice that things are changing. It’s not as good as it used to be in the labyrinth, not as easy to get to the button. And the payoff when you get there isn’t as good anymore. You’re anxious, but you’re not sure what to do. You’re starting to wonder about things. It’s been dawning on you that following the path isn’t getting you anywhere, and you may even be going backwards.

Suddenly you’re presented with a choice: keep running along the same path, or exit the labyrinth. Will you head for the door? Are you nodding yes? Will you do it? What will it take for you to lift up your head and leave the comfortable confines of the labyrinth?

Trump: “Everything Biden Touches Turns to Shit”

What has he done that’s good? Nothing.

by Steve Watson
Modernity News

During a huge rally in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania Saturday night, Donald Trump blasted Joe Biden, reeling off a list of massive failures and urging that “everything he touches turns to shit.”

Trump was speaking while Iran, which just four years ago was crippled under Trump, but in the past three years has prospered after Biden eased sanctions, decided to launch a full on military attack on Israel.

[…] “Before going any further, I want to say God bless the people of Israel,” Trump stated, adding “They’re under attack right now. That’s because we show great weakness.”

Trump urged that such an attack would never have happened under his watch.

“A Declaration of War”: How the Conflict Between Israel and Iran Fits Into the Bigger Picture

by Michael Snyder
End of the American Dream

Iran’s attack on Israel is being called “a declaration of war”, and that is precisely what it was. Shooting more than 300 drones and missiles at another country is definitely an act of war, and the Iranian parliament was loudly chanting “death to Israel” as it was happening. Many are shocked that a full-blown war between Israel and Iran is developing, but those that have been following my work are not shocked at all. In fact, this is precisely what we have been anticipating. I have been writing about a coming war between Israel and Iran for years, and in my book entitled “Lost Prophecies Of The Future Of America” I lay out what will happen in great detail. So the truth is that we have been waiting for this for a very long time and now it is here.

After IDF troops entered Gaza, a lot of people out there didn’t initially believe that a major regional war would develop in the Middle East.

RFK Jr. Breaks Down How BlackRock Controls Political Parties, Big Pharma & Military Industries

“BlackRock owns the processed food companies that are poisoning us, and they own the pharmaceutical companies that are making $4.3 trillion a year,” says presidential candidate.

by Infowars.com

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. explained how BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management corporation, controls both political parties to suppress meaningful discussions about America’s health crisis and foreign policy.

“BlackRock owns the processed food companies that are poisoning us, and they own the pharmaceutical companies that are making $4.3 trillion a year…treating the chronic disease that’s being caused by BlackRock’s other group of companies,” Kennedy said on the “Rubin Report” Sunday.

[…] “Shouldn’t we talk about the fact that we have 1,000 ingredients in our foods that are illegal in other countries?”

And on America’s interventionist doctrine, Kennedy explained:

Iran Strikes: Silver Sees Highest Weekly Close in 11 Years, but Take a Look at This…

from King World News

The silver markets saw the highest weekly close in more than 11 years on Friday, but take a look at this…

Let me add one final thought about the increasing geopolitical tensions that have been ramping up recently. Gold is not rising because of wars or rumors of wars. Gold is rising because of the constant debasement of fiat money, which is how politicians and governments have stolen from the people since the beginning of time. It is theft through inflation. It is insidious, and it is the sole reason why the price of gold is headed many thousands of dollars higher. — James Turk

Silver Highest Weekly Close In 11 Years

April 14 (King World News) – James Turk: Friday’s big swing in precious metals prices may have left some heads spinning, Eric. But what happened is exactly the kind of volatility I said to expect in our interview last weekend.
