YTD most PM miners are up

It varies but some are still up +20% even after today.
This conflict is causing a rebalancing. Throwing the baby out with the bath water.
Nothing has changed with Gold and Silver. Central Banks still printing more currency. Inflation about to rise.

Times like these teach us to keep a certain amount in cash. Either for day to day expenses or to buy good solid companies. I like a four month supply personally. Eliminates panic selling.

I do not know the true value of Silver but the miners are still receiving over the Average Q4 price. The mkt is mis-pricing out of fear. If we didn’t have 20-20 vision in hindsight and sell at the top, it may not be time to sell out of fear. It may take some time to reprice higher but we should be used to the volatility in the metals.

IF YOU GET TIRED OF HEARING THIS THEN GTFO AND GO GET A BLUE SKY ACCOUNT

I’D MUCH RATHER HAVE A GROUP OF HARD CORE REALIST TRUMP SUPPORTERS 1/3 THE PRESENT REACH OF GOLDTENT THAN HANG WITH A BUNCH OF WISHY WASHY BETAS WHO DON’T COMPREHEND OR RESPECT WHAT WE ARE REALLY UP AGAINST

WHO ARE YOU WITH , CHUCK SHUMER AND AOC ?

SHEESH !!

If you love silver and critical minerals, USAS is a quality play. Currently on sale.

  • Americas Gold and Silver has signed a definitive joint venture agreement with US Antimony to construct an antimony processing plant at the Galena Complex in Idaho’s Silver Valley, with Americas holding a 51% ownership stake and US Antimony holding 49%.
  • The JV is designed to capture full market value for antimony production rather than the discounted prices Americas currently receives under its existing offtake agreement, with CEO Paul Huet estimating $50-$70 million in value currently being left on the table over the next two years at current prices.

https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/americas-gold-silver-us-antimony-come-together-to-build-us-critical-mineral-hub

Look at their q3 FS 31 million in Revs…..so 120 million annualized.  So adding 50 to 70 over next 2 years is 25 to 35 million extra per year.  That represents and extra 20 to 25% in revenues over the next 2 years just for the increase in price for the antimony they produce.  That doesn’t even consider the increasing price of silver. Yeah, buying more today for sure.

And as you all know, US fast tracking any US company wanting to produce critical minerals, of which silver and antimony are both.  Bought more yesterday, may buy more today.  Approaching 50 day sma (it beautifully skips along the 50 like a skipping stone on the water), and price decreasing on decreasing volume.  Do what you like, but do something.

If you are thinking of dabbling in the Uranium space….

the are one of the only green sectors today.  It makes sense, why subjugate yourself to these massive sigma 6 moves in oil if you don’t have to, especially if you are an energy provider.  Uranium, the most efficient elements pound for pound for energy extraction.  Some near or at their 52 week lows.  Long term play 3 – 10 years.

Order of Battle

J H KUNSTLER ( an island of reason in a sea of despair )

Don’t lose your shit over mines in the Strait of Hormuz and the oil price shooting up. Iran has many thousands of mines. But something has to lay them out in the water. Iran has no more naval ships. They have small boats. The US can see everything moving on the surface, or sitting at docks. We are blowing them up methodically. The news outlets who want the US to fail in this operation (because: Trump) want you to think that we had no plan for dealing with this problem. That’s not so.

There are very few mines actually laid so far. Tankers are not going through the Strait of Hormuz because their captains are nervous. Their ships and their cargos are worth millions and the insurance costs millions. So, they’re waiting in place, hanging back. The US still has work to do destroying Iran’s shoreline defenses of missile and drone launch sites. Iran is firing all they’ve got left. Whenever they launch something, we see the geo-location on our satellites and radars. The mobile launchers are a little trickier because, obviously, they shoot and move. But they don’t always move fast enough, and there isn’t an endless supply of them.

The US Navy decommissioned its four Avenger-class minesweeper ships in the Persian Gulf in September, 2025, but replaced them with more agile Littoral Combat Ships (LCSs) capable of countering submarines and clearing mines. Two LCS ships — USS Santa Barbara and USS Canberra — quietly deployed in March 2025.

: President Trump says he has the capability to make it nearly IMPOSSIBLE for Iran to rebuild…

…and all of that can be done by the US military within *one hour*

“It’s just a question of when. When do we stop?”

“The main thing is we have to win this thing, win it quickly, but win it!”

“And there are many people, I’m just watching some of the news, most people say it’s already been WON.”

“We don’t want to let it re-grow. And ideally, we’d like to see somebody in there that knows what they’re doing.”

“In other words, they can build a country.”

“Now, one other thing, we can hit sections of Tehran and other places that if you do it, it’ll be almost impossible for them to rebuild their country. And we don’t want that.”

“But we can hit electric. We could take apart their electric capacity within one hour. And it would take them 25 years to rebuild it. So ideally, we’re not going to be doing that. Thank you very much.”

………………….

This sounds like classic Trump hyperbole and bluster, but no. He’s actually being quite literal here.

Strikes so far have been limited to the pillars of Velayat control. The pillars of state and civilization themselves are still very much available and very easy to reach.

Power plants and electrical grids, for example, are very easily destroyed. A simple power distribution system would take 3-7 years to rebuild; a full electrical system with redundancies and a capacity equal to that of today—that would take over a decade.

Mar 11
JUST IN: President Trump says he has the capability to make it nearly IMPOSSIBLE for Iran to rebuild…

…and all of that can be done by the US military within *one hour*

There are about 400 power generation units in Iran—the battle group in the Gulf can legitimately destroy this in about an hour. I’d estimate they can output that many TLAMs alone in that time.

Iran has ~10 oil refineries. Refineries are extremely hard and expensive to build, but relatively easy to destroy; that’s what makes them such prime military targets. The battlegroup can absolutely destroy all of these in under an hour.

Absent any interruption of power, it would take Iran more than a decade to restore to current throughout.

Absent power, considerably longer.

Trump isn’t exaggerating. The United States still has many arrows in its quiver that can genuinely set Iran back decades in less than an hour.

And that’s only looking at oil refinement and electrical grids.

I get the impression that most of the public genuinely has no idea how much damage a single Carrier Strike Group can do.

I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN TO MY FEEBLE MIND WHY THIS STRATEGY CANNOT BE EMPLOYED IF IRAN CONTINUES THE OIL BLOCKADE ?

THEY ARE HOLDING THE WORLD ECONOMY RANSOM. WHO WOULD CO,PLAI IF THE US ENDS THIS EXISTENTIAL STAND OFF

THERE ARE NO REAL AIR DEFENSES . US AND ISRAEL FLY EVERYTHING THEY WANT WITOUT CHALLENGE

( THE RECENT CRASH WAS OVER IRAQ AND US CLAIMS IT WAS NOT ENEMY OR FRIENDLY FIRE IMPLYING TWO PLANES
HAD A MISHAP DURING REFEULING)

WOULD THEY TAKE OUT PART OF THE ELECTRICAL GRID AND THEN SEE IF THE CARDBOARD SUPREME LEADER WANTS TO TALK ?

CANADA – Federal agreements could threaten property owners, city of Vancouver with loss of land rights

British Columbia’s government was unaware of a deal made by the Canadian government with the Musqueam Indian Band that ‘recognizes’ its land rights in the Vancouver area.

The Canadian federal government signed three agreements with the Musqueam Indian Band acknowledging Aboriginal rights on a large swath of land that critics say in effect hands control of the entire city of Vancouver to the Band.

The agreements claimed Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC) are a major step forward toward reconciliation and incremental implementation of Musqueam’s Aboriginal rights.

The Musqueam Indian Band says the agreement gives it a claim over the entire Vancouver area, including West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Richmond, New Westminster, Delta, as well as Surrey, the University of British Columbia Endowment Lands, and the land Vancouver International Airport is on.

“Without a word to the nearly two million residents affected, the federal government has formally recognized Musqueam Aboriginal rights and title across Metro Vancouver,”    “told the people (of various ethnicities) who live in some parts of Richmond, B.C., that the money they paid for their own properties does not guarantee them the right to own and enjoy their own homes.”

‘A Giant Problem’: Experts Address ‘Massive Epidemic of Vaccine Injury’

The U.S. must address the “massive epidemic of vaccine injury,” according to scientists, doctors, lawyers and medical freedom activists who convened today in Washington, D.C., at a round table hosted by the MAHA Institute. “I want people to understand that vaccine injuries are common and they’re all around, and vaccine injuries dwarf the benefits of vaccines,” said MAHA Institute President Mark Gorton.

Asus router? PTP distributed malware network ….

Researchers at Lumen’s Black Lotus Labs found a botnet of about 14,000 routers, mostly Asus, that have been infected with malware called KadNap. The infected devices are being used as a proxy network to anonymously tunnel traffic for a fee-based service called Doppelganger. Most of the compromised routers are in the US. The malware exploits unpatched vulnerabilities and uses a peer-to-peer design based on Kademlia, the same structure that powers BitTorrent, which makes it highly resistant to traditional takedowns.

My Take
The technical design here is worth understanding. Most botnets have centralized command servers that researchers can identify and shut down. KadNap uses distributed hash tables instead, so there’s no single point to target. Each infected router stores pieces of the network map and can find other nodes without ever connecting to a central server. The only way to fully kill it is to sever every connected device at once, which isn’t realistic when you’re talking about 14,000 routers in people’s homes.

The infection persists through reboots because the malware stores a shell script that runs on startup. A simple restart won’t fix it. You have to factory reset the router, update the firmware, change the admin password, and disable remote access. Most people won’t do any of that because most people don’t know their router is compromised. Black Lotus says the number of infected devices has grown from 10,000 to 14,000 since August, so whatever is happening, it’s not slowing down.
