Interesting: I have a few thoughts on who controls the markets myself. Because gold and silver are looking as if they may break out, I think it will be of interest to have a look at the relative strength of the indicators we look at in evaluating the current economic
War is destructive in many ways. The primary beneficiaries are the military / industrial / banking complex. Usually the reasons for war are so remote from the ‘truth’ we are told that in retrospect it is hard to believe. With some assistance from, a very biased, Chat GPT. Let us
Our discussions regarding the safety of the facility are broad ranging and cover security, logistics, political, environmental, and economic risks not only in Panama but worldwide.
