Or a love bug….

He screwed up EVERYTHING he touched…….

but, I agree that these Traitors ……..should be held accountable……

of course Jerry, “thou shalt not kill” was a statement, not a commandment.

b……..that was jewish Law at the time of Moses…….but, that is another topic…..

Christians are not UNDER THE LAW of Moses………..but, recommended as you say a statement for a civilized nation.

Who ever said Obama was a Christian.

I think Islamic punishment would be more appropriate.

Nobody here said he was a christian…….You will know them by their fruits….

We advocate adherence to God’s Word. Of course the death penalty is permitted, in fact, it is required. It’s part of the moral law that never changes. Christians are set free from the penalty of the law which is everlasting death, not the death penalty for murder.

See Acts 5:9
Then Peter said to her, “How could you two have agreed to put the Spirit of the Lord to such a test? Listen, you can hear the footsteps of the men who have just buried your husband coming back through the door, and they will carry you out as well!”

Wayne , you are mixing words here…….

Going back and rereading my question , I see where there is room for misunderstanding.

You guys are far better qualified than I to debate The Bible.

But regarding death to the villains, if you put in the work to try to figure out who the arch-villains are, I believe you’ll conclude that they are among (if not THE) the most powerful people in the world. They are the heirs to those who have started world wars and damaged the lives of billions of souls through financial chicanery. They destroy countries regularly.

So what are the odds that trying to bring them to justice before a firing squad, hanging from a rope, etc. will turn out well? What are the odds that they’ll destroy the world before allowing themselves to be cornered that way?

Seems better to me to offer clemency, and the option of living out their lives in comfort, in exchange for agreeing to having their ability to do more harm utterly neutralized. Some modern version of sending Napoleon off to a remote island…

Without eliminating the ignorance and institutions that permit the villains to do what they do, executing them will just create job openings, like cutting heads off a hydra.

Seems like pie in the sky, but if we want a better world, something’s gotta give.

Peter being a jew , which is the example here .. Act 5. 9..this is a transitional period where the LAW was still being implemented . God did not wish that anyone be KILLED. The example of the two people being killed were under the LAW. here in ACT 5…was because of stealing, thou shall not steal…….We are not under the LAW as Christians,……Grace has be given at the Cross, …… I therefore, think Wayne is not correct in his decision to KIll. For JESUS has said, those without sin cast the first stone.
Everyone is a sinner , that is why Grace was give …Paul clearly express this…..

sorry for all the misspelling……

I told a salesman, in 1977, when he tried to sell me a wang/computer, who would ever need a machine to do business, …… lol

While bitcoin or any other crypto currency may be limited in quantity, there is no limit on starting new crypto currencies. It’s a fascinating technology with some good applications, but secure storage of wealth is not one of them, imo.

It is kind of like silver and gold miners……any body with a pick and shovel can own a mine, just start digging…………

I agree with GH, maybe thats the plan. look at etherium? (sp)
when that one gets up there maybe litecoin takes off and on and on until the worlds got enough of them.

I dunno, could happen.

Zinc has real Supply / Demand fundamental tailwinds at it’s back and the price has soared over the last year. Many of the old mines have shut down or scaled back production of other base metals, and the mines the remain (like Teck’s Red Dog in Alaska) are mostly depleted.

This price move isn’t just a fad and the smelters are craving more Zinc concentrates, but there are few projects that can supply this demand at present. This is also precisely why so many old projects like Darnley Bay are getting dusted back off and relaunched.

I’m personally quite interested in many of the smaller producers like Trevali and Pasinex, but more so in the Developers like Canada Zinc Metals, Heron Resources, and Red River resources or the super hot Explorers like Tinka, Vendetta, and Callinex.

Lots to Zinc about….

These 4 charts will turn you into a (raging) zinc price bull

not that i know anything special, but some time back when I looked at zinc, Canada Zinc looked ok to me.

Canada Zinc Metals (CZX) (CZXMF) is a solid company in JVs with Teck Resources and Korea Zinc and they have a massive land package and one of the largest undeveloped zinc resources out there.

Here is a Map showing the properties that $CZX $Teck and #KoreaZinc have adjacent to each other, and explains their interest in partnering together:

http://cdn.ceo.ca/1ce1i9i-Kechika%20Regional%20Project%20Map.pdf

(TECK) Teck & Korea Zinc are working together at Cirque, and have a tiered option agreement to acquire 70% interest in some of the projects that (CZX) Canada Zinc Metals holds (Cirque East, Pie, and Yuen North). The are adjacent to the Canada Zinc Metals flagship Akie project.

Also, Teck and Korea Zinc did a private placement in $CZX (noticing a trend here).

http://cdn.ceo.ca/1ce5hg8-CZX%20-%20Teck%20-%20KoreaZinc%20partnership.pdf

* Here is the info their Akie deposit:

The revised NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate consists of an indicated category of an indicated resource of 19.6 million tonnes grading 8.2% #zinc, 1.6% #lead and 13.6 g/t #silver (at a 5% zinc cut-off grade) and an inferred resource of 8.1 million tonnes grading 6.8% zinc, 1.2% lead and 11.2 g/t silver (at a 5% zinc cut-off grade).

Using this estimate, the deposit contains 3.54 billion pounds of zinc, 685 million pounds of lead and 8.6 million ounces of silver in the indicated category, and 1.2 billion pounds of zinc, 207 million pounds of lead and 2.9 million ounces of silver in the inferred category (at 5% zinc cut-off). The deposit remains open along strike and at depth.

Really Mat?
I think when a person figures a currency has no value they stop taking it.
I would stop taking it.

There are examples if ya look 4 em.

Maybe find me an example of people taking a currency they figure has no value.
Other than a collector of course.
Im speaking in general terms.

Stay away from the “intrinsic” value if ya would.

The dollar has no intrinsic value. What kind of idiot would say that it has no market value?

no example?

I guess you need it spelled out when nothing else needs to be said. Anyone claiming that the dollar has no market value is obviously not worth talking to.

So I stand by my remarks at 8:42 am. Sane people have varying opinions about the risks in holding the unsound dollar but none question that it has market value.

b, the point is that something may have transactional value but be a terrible preserver of purchasing power (wealth).

In 2005 Venezuelans accepted bolivares, but they knew they were a wasting asset / hot potato. They stored wealth outside the banking system in things like cars. Unlike the US, and I assume Canada, where most cars’ value goes down over time, especially for the first 5 or 10 years, there they went up in price (even in US dollar terms). Anywhere inflation is high this is typical.

u never give up do ya mat.
I never once said the dollar had no market value(duh) read what I said again.

What I said was people dont take what they see as valueless, therefore…..wait for it….the dollar(fiat) has value.

You made yourself out to be silly saying that is nonsense.

GH, I never said anything about, transitional or preserving.

I do agree with u tho, its possible u and I have read the same book or two….maybe.

You’re absolutely hopeless little b. I responded in the first place because I thought you were referring to those who (rightly) say that the dollar has no intrinsic value. When I realized that you were referring to unicorns (they don’t exist), that believe the dollar has no market value, I dismissed your whole idiotic premise.

So, Sherlock, you are correct that “if people really thought fiat had no value they wouldnt take it.” But that is self-evident so I thought you were referring to those who don’t like the fact that it has no intrinsic value. They DO exist.

Shame on me for not looking at your comment in the dumbest possible way. You’d think I’d know better by now.

Matty boy, maybe you should stick to charts.

Unicorns dont exists??
Your a little kaffuffled. lol

Maybe try reading before you comment.
Just a suggestion.

Maybe you shouldn’t waste our time with hypothetical scenarios that are as common as unicorns, little b. It would be appreciated.

Central Bank/FEDS……..can not control it……

yes, but, took them a long time to figure out the… Semper Augustus,(type of tulip).. was not worth a 120 tons of butter

This is how it works:

That is always good to have that chart stapled to one’s wall……..I have a oil painting of the tulip bulb on mine…….for reminders……….

Real companies tend to go bankrupt from time to time…….from fake reporting ….Enron, Qualcom, AIG…..come to my mind…….but, it is different this time.

“Fascism is glorious”.
lol I had 2 laff.

Theoretical question I’m curious about if anyone would like to chime in: formal definitions aside, is there any practical difference between fascism and socialism?

GH: Nope

Ten Things Millennials Should Know About Socialism – Thomas J. DiLorenzo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZSq_zZ5VrQ

Around the 30 min mark, DiLorenzo says: Fascism is a form of socialism.

Greg Mannarino would be a good listen to…..to hear what the FED JUST DID…..in the last couple of days …

I’d highly recommend watching the 2 recent videos posted below, and looking at their updated Corporate Presentation slide deck as a lot has changed for Alexco moving into the latter half of 2017.

The assumptions from late 2016 or even early 2017 should be tossed as there is a new strategy, costs, grade, streaming arrangement, and production mine plan.

Thanks, Ex. Maybe you can flip me from half-empty glass to half-full glass with AXU

OT:QRM

Have you researched Quest Rare Minerals?
I own shares, now.

Brian – I’ve also followed Alexco for years and have owned them off and on, but in 2016 I rode it up and then sold most of it on the sheer momentum of the Silver miners. However, when they started putting out the drill intercepts at and super high grade at Flame & Moth and Bermingham it REALLY caused me to sit up and take notice. In discussing it with other Silver investors, I mentioned this would be a game changer and gets the focus off their Bellekeno mine and showed they have better and higher grade deposits on their property that can be fed into that mill. They have also started finding even more deposits, so this is turning into a much larger district play for them with multiple deposits.

http://www.alexcoresource.com/s/keno_hill.asp?ReportID=515321

To grow things even further they can also take out their neighbors Metallic Minerals and run that mill for decades to come.

As for Quest Rare Minerals, I owned them back in 2011-2013 during the Rare Earth bubble but gave up on them years ago. They had a very well endowed deposit but their stock tanked over 90% and killed all the existing shareholders (like so many REE stocks at that time).

What’s cooking with them lately? I’ll need to revisit what they’re up to it seems….

It looks like they’ve improved the processing and recovery of their Heavy REEs. That is good as those are what is needed in magnets for Windmills and many tech applications. Thanks for the heads up to go revisit the company. Cheers!

(AXU) (AXR) Alexco brand new Corporate Slide Presentation from the European Gold Forum that goes with the Video presentation above:

http://wsw.com/webcast/egf17/axu/presentationDownload.pdf

** Alexco’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Clynt Nauman said, “With the publication of the updated PEA incorporating the amended SPA, Alexco is launching into the balance of 2017 squarely focused on moving forward with underground access to the high grade Bermingham deposit in anticipation of extensive underground exploration drilling, as well as getting started on a +12,000 meter surface exploration program in areas proximal to the Bermingham discovery. Equipment rebuilds, mill, camp and infrastructure upgrades will also be completed alongside a prefeasibility level study, as we move Keno Hill back toward a final #production decision.”

http://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/alexco-reports-first-quarter-2017-results-621586163.html

In all the years I’ve listed to their CEO Clynton Nauman in interviews, I don’t remember him ever being as animated as he is about Bermingham (and the guy is not easily impressed). As a refresher of the statements he recently released:

“Alexco President and CEO, Clynton Nauman, commented, “The Amended SPA is an exceptional outcome for Alexco. Most importantly, it places the Keno Hill Silver District clearly on a path toward redevelopment and ultimately a production decision. Furthermore, we appreciate the endorsement of Silver Wheaton through its strategic shareholding in Alexco, an endorsement which we believe reflects confidence in a future of sustained silver production at Keno Hill as well as recognition of the proven exploration upside and highly prospective nature of the district.”

“We have long felt that Keno Hill is one of the most prospective #silver districts in the world, and the success Alexco has had with Flame & Moth and, more recently, Bermingham confirms our view,” said Randy Smallwood, President and Chief Executive Officer of Silver Wheaton. “We believe that the amendments we have made today will be mutually beneficial to both Silver Wheaton and our partner Alexco and will result in silver once again being mined from Keno Hill.”

For a sector to mark a bottom requires terrible sentiment, in late 2015 you could tell it a number of ways. Frank Homes (Mr. Commodities) started an airline ETF waiting on the sector to recover, there were less resource sponsors and traffic on most of the main mining websites (including here at the KER), and mining conference attendances were down in the toilets. Very few except a few of the rogue contrarians here on the KER were even discussing buying mining stocks back in December 2015 tax loss selling season. If you remember, we were joking on this blog about “holding our noses and buying more Silver miners.” It was fairly grim.

Technically speaking, for it to be a bottoming pattern then the rally off of those lows needs to take out the recent prior peaks, and Gold and the miners absolutely delivered last year. Gold took out 3 higher peaks as well as the 2013 spike low, on massive volumes, and it paired up precisely with the lows and then move to record highs on the Gold Miners Bullish Percentage Index. (more on that in the next post)
_________________________________________________________________________

First let’s review the double bottom move down to $1445.40 that gold put in during mid to late December 2015. I had remained more reserved, because I had said since the rally in the first quarter of 2015 that I wanted to see the prior peak at $1346.80 (~$1347) taken out definitively on a closing basis. If you recall, the rally in early 2015 had fizzled out at $1307.80 and not made it past $1347. It was a bummer back in early 2015, and as a result, moving forward $1308 became first resistance, that had to be taken out to eclipse the rally from 2015. $1308 was referred to as “The Matterhorn”, (he mentioned $1309 in the article – same basic level). However, $1208-$1309 was significant, but to me it was only the first of several challenges Gold must overcome.

It was Dragonite that reminded us all of the major spike down trough to $1321.50 from the spring of 2013, which had started the several years of sideways to down consolidation. Upon going back and looking at that again, it became very clear that this $1321.50 was a severe downturn in 2013 and defining moment in the Gold Bear. There was even a show here on the KER where the speakers had postulated that $1321 was “The Bottom” way back then. The point was that for the Bull market to be back on then Gold absolutely needed to put in a close above $1321.50.

Well, look at the chart below of the past and what has happened this year and you’ll note that Gold took out $1307.80 (the Jan 2015 peak), $1321.50 (the 2013 spike down low trough, that did serious chart & sentiment damage), and Gold also took out $1346.80 (the next higher peak from the summer of 2014). When those levels ($1308/$1321/$1347) were taken out, then I was finally comfortable with the fact that it was not just a counter-trend rally, but in fact the beginning of the new bull in gold.

Lastly, when Gold spiked up to $1377.50 this summer, it also took out a lessor peak of $1361.80 (from the autumn of 2013). Typically the summer is more bearish for the metals, so for Gold to have taken out so many prior peaks was uncharacteristically bullish. We mentioned in discussions on here a few times that Gold had borrowed from the normal Fall rally by going so high into the summer, and that we’d have a dip down into November.

That’s exactly what we’ve seen play out thus far, and so far coming out of late Dec 2016 to early 2017 the metals have rallied a bit and technically made a “Higher Low”. Honestly, unless Gold goes all the way down and breaks below that $1045.40 Dec 2015 low, then in my opinion we are still in the new Gold bull market.

Based on the Gold chart it sure looks to me like the Dec 2015 low of $1045.40 and the Dec 2016 low of $1124.30 form a “W-shaped Double bottom”. Also that $1045.40 formed a mini-double-bottom back in Dec 2015 to kick off that $1045.40 level as the lower low.

In addition, note how Gold blasted up through the 144 week EMA, 233 week EMA, and the 377 week EMA. In particular, Gold had sunk down through that 144 week EMA in 2013 and hadn’t broken back up through it until last year’s rally. That is pretty significant in my view.
