“German industry is dismantling and moving to countries where energy is cheap particularly the US.”

DT – For such to unfold Trump must follow through on his 2013 CPAC promise to encourage/allow unrestrained immigration of ‘Europeans’ into the USA. German industriousness is located in its higher levels of working class (its lower levels are ‘woke’ like many other places). There is much more to unfold related to this. Thanks for the heads up! – BDC

The Chinese don’t play by the rules. The rules made up by US are made to be broken and the Chinese are just the ones to do that, which pisses them off since they are not capable of doing anything constructive about it.

I guess Monday December 30th is the last day for tax loss selling! DT

Hi Ex, trying to figure out why the silver stocks are going down can be clarified if you go to a bar and have a few drinks, when life gets silly the bar always has reasonable answers! Beer Wisdom Cheers! LOL! DT

Welcome to the club DT. I’m amazed at just how terrible the mining sector is overall as far as these companies actually running like professional businesses. More times than not the Investor Relations / Corporate Development / Marketing divisions and personnel are simply atrocious. For being publicly traded companies, some of them are outpaced in customer service by neighborhood lemonade stands. There are notable exceptions with really solid Corp Dev and IR teams though that we absolutely appreciate working with.

Sometimes it takes me months or upwards of a year to get people on the corporate team to take their own marketing serious enough to come onto the KE Report (and our growing audience of tens of thousands of resource investors) to record a 15-20 minute interview. It is essentially the same whether it is the initial free interview we do on company introductions or even on some paying customers.

They have these very well paid communications teams that actually stink at communications and their jobs. I’ve recommended to some companies to consider recruiting outside of the mining industry, since there is such an incestuous nature to these companies flipping employees in and out of companies and a bad overall corporate culture. One crappy IR or Corp Dev person will leave one company after failing, and then pop up in another one weeks later and start the cycle of communications misery all over again.

I’ve dealt with many other business-to-business sectors in my previous life in corporate insurance, group employee benefits, and technology sales, and can definitively say it is night and day for how most businesses run (health care, law firms, real estate, manufacturing, government poly subs, retail, consumer niche businesses), compared to the Vancouver or Toronto based mining companies. Having said that, the revenue-generating bigger producers and royalty companies are a bit better staffed and more professional in many cases.

What is so nuts is that some of these junior resources companies literally believe that if they just put out some periodic word salad press releases, and hit up a couple of conferences each year that this is all they need to do to market. (not even close)

They also often erroneously believe that if they can just bring a couple of institutional investors or high-net-worth investors into their private placement, to fund the immediate capital needs of the company, that they can then just turn a blind eye to retail investors. Then they bemoan their low market liquidity and poor share price performance in the same breath. (?) Their level of misunderstanding the market dynamics or how to market is simply mind boggling!
