"Outstanding review on Copper market and why you ABSOLUTELY must be long quality names - large mid-tier and small cap. My two favourites are $ARG and in the microcap land $GRBM. Folks globally have forgotten about hard assets while chasing tech. Copper goes into everything that tech needs. Goldman Sachs models Chinese copper smelter collapse probability at 6.4%.

When the $STEX realized that the hedge fund was shorting against the concert and also a massive ELOC Streamex did what any smart company would do and raised money to take out the hedge fund - think destroyer of value. Now said hedge fund is massively short. Instead of covering and taking their lumps they pay for this kind of garbage. And why do they do it Because regulators have"

"So everyone - one of the newer hacks for all those predatory algos and short funds is "shorts deemed long". If you are confused as I am just check it out in Grok or ChatGPT. It is an accounting measure now perversely being used by hedgies to avoid marking a short as a short even though it is a short. Yes - a comedic skit and one the regulators have and do allow in such a fashion that hedgies can now hide their shorts in yet another fashion that does only one thing - destroy shareholder value. Never have markets been so skewed against retail investors and this all while government hedge funds"

"I am shocked that everyone is wondering what is up with BTC. I mentioned this ages ago. The minute the US system had futures ETF's and other derivative instruments it was the death of a reasonable trading pattern.

"I have been saying this for over a year. And the typical liberal voter shoots it down. The reality is that if we put money we have been sending to the Ukraine and a myriad of other wasted Canadian dollars and instead built a sovereign wealth fund Canada would be in a far better stronger and meaningful place in the global landscape. Instead we continue to buy into TDS and ignore an economy that is falling off a cliff Imagine if Canada used its oil wealth the way Norway did. They turned resource revenue into a $2 trillion sovereign wealth fund. We turned ours into higher taxes endless deficits"

If you assume [---] mln shares outstanding and a [--] USD share price along with factoring in the repeatable and likely AUM growing revenues this is effectively getting a value of [---] mln USD.

If this is not taken out I will be shocked. Current market conditions are garbage but management is doing little to nothing in terms of using cash as an asset (can anyone say NCIB).

"So what happens when a short fund uses a MOC - market on close - to sell a stock much lower than market price Look at $DEFI in Canada. Only our irresponsible regulators would allow this. Almost [--] mln shares sold AFTER market close at month end to mark up likely an illegal short position. Then they post a garbage 'Simply Wall Street' article on a law suit filed by 'LinkedTo Partners LLC'. This is the world we live in where valuation does not matter regulators protect the predatory hedge funds and retail loses. Welcome to Canada. $DEFT $DEFI @DeFiTechGlobal"

"For anyone reading this - it does not matter what Trump or any elected president does in the near term. The US debt crisis will not be fixed in a day year or decade. Own hard assets sell the USD. My picks remain $GRBM $ARG $STEX $GXP. These will all benefit with the demise of the USD rampant inflation and a massive flow of investment into commodities. GLTA Just my humble opinion. The tokenization of GOLD SILVER and COPPER by $STEX is a game changer. Not to mention being paid a yield for owning these tokenized assets.

They are trading as though they are a distressed asset even though they are not even close to being distressed. They have legitimately $165 mln USD in cash on their balance sheet. That cash if not deployed wisely only makes their acquisition even more compelling @streamex is tokenizing #commodities."

"If and this s a big if they get the Middle East and also Africa open (I believe they will but this has drawn on a LONG time) $DEFT would still be cheap at $6 USD.

So even if you strap on a [--] times earnings (the average NYSE earnings multiple is 20) that is close to [--] USD https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2009278395230687722 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2009278395230687722"

"@RetroWallSt Here is to hoping Tim. But as mentioned anything corporate at these prices is bluntly a failure for shareholders. $deft trading no where close to reasonable value"

"@Lazarus_Capital @jhnwtt Hopefully they get that chance. My worry is that any of the other corporates can see this opportunity as well. Why let $DEFT makes an acquisition more expensive"

"Keep this stuff coming Curtis Great work - the business is growing which makes the absurdly low P/E extremely difficult to understand. On [---] mln in AUM this is a growth rate of 17.2%. Now imagine if $DEFT can execute similarly in Brazil Africa and the Middle East. Now add in UCIT's SovFi and you can appreciate why another corporate might step in.

"Hey Michael there actually is no lawsuit as of yet. Ambulance chasers are looking for plaintiffs and most of these lawsuits do not even make it past the court process and are generally dismissed as frivolous. Either way this is what Director and Officer insurance is for so anyone selling $DEFT other than the manipulative shorts likely does not understand the issue"

"The only issue here is that when the market moves that will be when a corporate moves. Time is not on $deft's side. Mark my words.

"Here is what most investors pay zero attention to and the same holds true with our supposed economist PM Mark Carney. Inflation is killing our portfolio's.

Your money loses [--] to 5% of its purchasing power every single year. The economy grinds higher at roughly 2%. That is a relentless 7% headwind against you annually. What that really means.

"For everyone wondering if the Silver and Gold rally is real you are all missing the real action. Not only is it real but dealers are defaulting on deliveries. Everyone in the USA is focused on paper Gold and Silver not the hard asset. Coordinated sell offs like today are to allow the Bullion Banks to try and load up on contracts take delivery but not to get long. They need it to meet their own deliveries. The system is breaking. That is why you should all be looking at $STEX. Tokenized gold and soon to be silver and copper physically backed and they PAY you a yield vs the paper etc's that"

"So Kirk let me get this straight. We increase the grid using net zero wind and solar (uneconomic unless subsidized) and not our vast natural resources. We do this by borrowing more money and not by investing in Canada as the Liberals continue to boast but have yet to do. So we end up with uneconomic power (subsidies and taxes) based off of net zero and expect everyone to pay more for said power How does any of this make sense https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2017215366842155492 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2017215366842155492"

"Do none of you realize that no one is investing in Canada or Canadian equities Our capital markets are broken. Most of our world class assets are owned by foreigners and any of the small cap companies we are trying to build are shorted into oblivion because our regulators and Government do not care about naked shorting or predatory algorithm's Canadians will rise to this challenge. We will redesign our economy to use Canadian companies and Canadian materials. It wont be easy. A fundamental seminal shift in how we build design and procure in this country is required.

"I am always intrigued at the panic and focus on what is truly becoming a bifurcation of wealth and power. North American markets are dominated by manipulative trading practices - just go to and search Knight Capital Virtu Citadel etc. Silver and Gold are no exception. While the "paper and derivatives" markets were selling off physical purchases remained hundreds of dollars higher in the rest of the world. Truly we are witnessing the Bullion banks trying to manipulate themselves back onside of their shorts. But what is important - currency debasement is at all time highs fiat faith at all time"
