Nobel Prize winning economist and a military historian... good listen. "America wins battles but loses wars."

🚨 BREAKING: Anti-Islamic Iranians Refuse To LEAVE Streets - Mosques Destroyed - Thousands Massacred

Seems to be the most up-to-date source of info from Iran at the moment...

"evaluation spend (capped at ~£150k)"

So where does the £150k come from? Those who thought a placing will be coming in April may have to revise their opinion to late Feb.

The fight for copper dominance...

And you still need to add the 'tariff dividend' that Trump wants to bribe voters with before the midterm elections... that just adds hundreds of Billion more debt spending sends the BIG FU signal to the money markets. But all Trump is concerned about at the moment is getting to the end of this term without getting impeached and kicked out of office and into jail.

The US needs to roll over $10 trillion in debt this year and borrow another $2 trillion for new deficit spending... How TF do they get to borrow that much whilst signalling to the market that they are going to spend 40% more than they get in via taxes? The market will throw a tantrum, no mater how compliant the new FED Chair is.

This year, taxes are expected to bring in $5.6T with expenditure at $7.3T.

78/56 = 1.39

Still coming through in real time on the 'new' platform I mentioned a couple of weeks ago

From the bloke who started the 'other' site [Clem Chambers]; an impressive free tool. Not sure how he intends on monetising it in the future, but it is still at the stage of being fully free... presumably to build user numbers ahead of trying to monetise them.

It is a new year... so 3% in 7 days is not to be sneezed at. This YouTube video from SigmaRoc is worth a look if you have not seen it [even though it is 3 months old]: "What could the German fiscal stimulus and Ukraine's reconstruction mean for SigmaRoc?"

It is an unlisted video so it does not come up on a search of YouTube for Sigmaroc [but it is linked on their Homepage.

RFK Jr.’s Tuskegee Experiment

RFK Jr. recently directed the CDC to fund a study in West Africa that lays bare his cruelty and dishonesty.

Eurasia Group / Ian Bremmer: Top Risks 2026

Worth a read... long document, though. And you can put in any made up email address to access the report.

FTSE - up 60% in 14 years of Conservatives rules; up 25% in less than 2 years under Labour.

Yeah - it is yet another deep faked channel. I asked Google's Gemini and it highlighted plenty of flaws indicating as much.

Shows just how evil Google can be when there is $$$$$$$$ on the line.

I think because you cannot buy them in volume yet and because it is emerging tech; no doubt the first purchases will be Chinese who will reverse engineer them. My takeaway is I would not want to own shares in a company exploring for lithium..

Sanctioned Tankers Sail from Venezuela and Run the US "Blockade"

So what will The Don do as these ships run away with 'his' oil; is TACO getting greased?

The world's first true production-ready SOLID-state battery lasts for 100,000 cycles

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9xriZvZuKs

400 Wh/kg. Full charge in five minutes. Designed for 100,000 cycles. 
Lower cost than lithium ion.

WTF! Sounds too good to be true but solid state batteries are supposed to be the holy grail. Definitely a story to keep an eye on as there is the potential to reorder the battery industry. Apparently the batteries will be going in these electric motorbikes

No UK trades yet again... It would not surprise me if they gave up on the listing here to save the Admin costs.

Kazakhstan comes with geopolitical risk... this article is worth a read to understand the potential issues that arise from the 2029 presidential elections. EST 'should' have some protection thanks to the partnerships with BHP and Endeavour, but nothing is certain in Kazakhstan.

https://thediplomat.com/2026/01/transition-without-change-kazakhstans-tokayev-era/

Some of that risk is reflected in the share price, so a stable transition would do wonders for EST's share price, as it allows the geology to be valued instead of the geopolitical risks... higher risk = higher reward.

Troajan - it is real... And it shows the danger of real fakes when we are ready to believe reality is fake [and vice versa].
