Morning Bros..

So for sure today is Mrs Reeves big chance to boost the economy.. Will it happen? My guess it will be quick with nothing much change so we carry on with the same tax and spend..

Iran found the West Achilles heal and for sure people panic buying the petrol and maybe right to do this. But truth is we has allowed ourselves to become over reliant on the rest of the world for even basic things..

Millions around the world will be celebrating that is for sure but many million others not so. Early days in this conflict, war is an uncertain thing, But what Trump was warned about looking baked in..

"Trump hits out at reports that top US general warned against attacking Iran "..

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn0zrwzr519o

Mr Trouble.

I believe this that Mr Trump was warned against starting this conflict by his military chiefs, but being the man of no more wars he could not resist... I wonder at what point China draw a line in the sand..

Difficult situation for Uk. mass evacuation to organise and a war in two very different geographical areas with no war chest and limited military resources...

Mr Simple.

" Its going to make commodity trading in gold, silver, oil, lng, and helium, urea and ammonia interesting today".

For sure unless they have the force majeur clause and close some of those commodity markets..

I note this one..

"Sounds like there’s not enough silver being mined to me "..

For sure that look the case. Companies wised up to this a while back. Samsung pre paying for silver in December with a $7 million two year off take deal and only last week , BHP will receive an upfront payment of US$4.3 billion at completion (Upfront Consideration). In exchange, BHP will deliver silver to Wheaton calculated by reference to its share of silver produced at the Antamina mine..

Look like some are by passing Comex and dealing direct with the mines...

Mr Trouble

Respect.

Is a good question but really I don't have a view one way or the other. Our church never had a problem...Still Govt clearly has money to burn.. But you know this, I was thinking. Is it not police job to give the over arching protection..?

I hope the magic money tree has a good crop this year. With spending on defence set to increase by 50% and then we have the Chagos problem.. If Mr Trump collapse the deal Uk on the hook for billions...

Good job we have those trees or Mrs Reeves will be after the tax payer again...

Evening Bros

Mr Trouble

Sunday is for sure the best day of the week. De stress all the family looking sharp and listen to the words of the wise pastor and catch up with friends meet new people.... Who would see the harm in this?.. Wells some must hence the Govt spending record funding to protect faith communities..

Up to £28.4 million will be available through the Jewish Community Protective Security Grant, which is managed by the Community Security Trust (CST), for measures at synagogues, Jewish schools and community centres.

Is a funny world we live in that is for sure...

Not long now before Trump pulls the trigger....

For sure that is a huge problem and it getting worse. As I see it Mr Trump making things a whole lot worse.

Now another interesting thing this one..

Netherlands passed it law on taxing unrealised gains at 36% starting in 2028.. Let this one sink in .. unrealised...This is shocking and if it spread markets imo will crash badly..

For sure been quiet on the Lloyd BB today..

The in depth briefing document from Africa in 2025 at B20 "Africa at the core of critical minerals " in collaboration with WEF worth a read.

Detailing the Critical minerals potential in Africa and many other issues such as streamlining its regulatory framework..

Morning Bros..

Disappointing to see some investors reducing their positions and the fund raise imo could have been done in a way that worked better for existing holders but here we is..

But scoping out the bigger picture still look promising and I mean bigger...

So what happen 2-4th February 2026..

Well for start..

"The U.S. Government is mobilizing unprecedented resources to secure critical mineral supply chains, supporting projects with more than $30 billion in letters of interest, investments, loans, and other support over the past six months in partnership with the private sector".....

But USA Govt not alone over 50 countries signed up to to this agreement...

Mr Positive..

For sure in my view most important developments happened around 2-4th February..

For those that interested this link gives a idea as to the scale of what is in the pipeline.. This has gone from red hot to a white hot sector....

"The U.S. Government is mobilizing unprecedented resources to secure critical mineral supply chains, supporting projects with more than $30 billion in letters of interest, investments, loans, and other support over the past six months in partnership with the private sector".....

Mr Harley

Respect

For sure you may be right.. Very easy get carried away with the hype. Often also considerable overshoot on value. We see this dotcom, tech etc.. Timing is the key. But Trump has certainly made countries rethink supply chain with CMs... Plus /- there reliance on not only China but USA. Canada certainly on a roll ....

I mean over past year 12 months...

Mr Positive

Respect

I was half expecting that last week but as we know Aim markets very fickle...

Quick post this one..

For sure Cornwall been one of best investing areas this year.. SML up circa 1,180.00%.. ( https://www.strategicminerals.net/ ) There are big plans for Cornwall... Even Mrs Reeve she mention this at WEF. With signing of critcal metals agreements let see what happen. . P.S not investment advice .. Last year was a very good time to buy..!!
