First Mining Gold Corp (FF)

My guess is that this particular limited-edition, commemorative coin is priced at $20K because of the value it may bring as a rare coin down the road, not because they're going to revalue gold at that price on the 4th. Give me 5 one-ounce gold coins for the same price and they can keep their coin.

Selling a one-ounce gold coin for $20K sounds like a scam Trump would pull. Wonder if he's getting a cut?

IMO Andy Schectman was trying to make some news on a slow news day.

Yes, you're absolutely right. All these data centers have to be built to store all of EVERYONE'S INFORMATION.

What else in God's name could it be for? Nothing else. I've often wondered why no one ever talked about why they need all this over-the-top computing power and storage capacity these data centers require. It's not for A.I. making new or better ideas, it's to store all the Sheeple's personal information, transaction data, records, etc.

Why isn't anybody asking these basic questions? China is doing it now, but in the near future, we're going to see it here. Total control and we won't have a say in the matter. I also thought the comments made by CAF about Stablecoins/tokens being the same as CBDC were spot-on too. They will use them in the same context eventually. She used the term major cluster-fuck in the video and IMO she's right. LOL

That was a fantastic, eye-opening interview.

O.K., I just saw where our shares went and settled today. I will VERY surprised if the Springpole EA approval isn't announced before the open on Monday. It's past due to be announced IMO.

Big move up in the share price on pretty good volume with NO news out today. I'm calling for it to happen on Monday. BEFORE THE END OF THE QUARTER, as promised by Dan.

We'll see.

He is grasping at straws but he also has a point. I doubt anything materializes out of this tho.

Kashkari's comparison of Venmo and CBDC is awesome! He's right - why would anyone want CBDC when they can already do it with Venmo or other apps and no one has put forward anything explaining how CBDC is better. His bringing up China is perfect. The goal here is not anything altruistic - it is to control everyone. The data centers are needed to do that.

Speculation is running rampant about a gold revaluation around the 4th. Here's Andy Schectman and Makori talking about the U.S. mint coming out with a commemorative Liberty Bell 1 oz. gold coin they're selling for $20,000 a pop.

Of course, they think something's behind the reason for the much higher price on this coin. My suggestion to them would be to contact someone at the U.S. mint and ask them why this coin is so expensive. Maybe it's because it a limited edition coin or something simply answered away. IMO Schectman is grasping at straws with this speculation.

If the gold price jumped a couple thousand dollars in the next week, I would just guess that might be a better barometer of a gold revaluation is coming.

Everyone NEEDS to watch this interview with Catherine Austin Fitts. She explains in detail the cluster-fuck that's coming from The Powers That Be.

I often wondered why they needed all these A.I. data centers, she explains why that is. She talks about Stablecoins, what they are exactly and how they're going to use them.

This will be Orwell's 1984 on steroids, and the Banksters and governments are enabling it all to happen. Privacy and personal freedoms will be gone.

Several clips are shown that back up what she talks about. A.I will be making the decisions and if you get on its shit list you're screwed. The interview is long, but well worth the listen.

The other thing I found interesting was her explanation about if and when it all goes to Hell in a handcart the Elites can blame everything on A.I. I can see that happening too. We didn't do it, A.I. did it.

Is the EA announcement imminent? The share price is moving up.
Not sure why an announcement hasn't already been made.

Good discussion with Gareth Soloway on where he sees the gold/silver price going. He doesn't see a gold valuation reset coming over the 4th because of the weak price action we're seeing in gold. His bottom in silver is around $50.

The treasury Ponzi scheme is all about kicking the can down the road and the more Suckers that buy into it, the longer it can continue. This is all about making people believe in the solvency of the government moving forward. They're not solvent now, so why would anyone think they would be 50 years down the road? Just tell everybody you're coming out with a 50 yr. bond that's backed by REAL money - gold. If You believe in gold as a store of wealth, then why hold dollars or any other fiat paper? Just buy some physical gold

If you're the patriotic type maybe you can take the chance that in 50 years they'll give you the gold you have coming to you. Who knows if they have the gold to even pay people off if they are sucked into this scheme. The Bimbo in the video said buyers would most likely have the option to be paid off in either gold OR fiat dollars. Who in their right mind would choose to get dollars? LOL

Before Trump makes any kind of announcement about this gold-backed treasury bond, he needs to prove to everyone that the gold is even there. I don't see that happening. You're 100% correct, Trump is all about making himself look good NOW. 50 years down the road no one will care, with the exception of the One's that got screwed. IMO this is all about attempting to get Suckers back into long-term bonds. Just tell them the bond is gold backed. That makes everyone feel warm and safe, until they can't get their physical gold.

Ultimately, if it happens, I think it will be good for gold because in essence it's an admission of gold being real money. IMO there's a good chance it will happen.

In addition, there are questions I have not heard addressed - such as what exactly are you receiving? Just gold at the end of the period or gold AND interest payments in fiat or something in addition to both of those? Will the bond issuance be capped? There are a lot of questions that would need to be addressed. But as a quick scam to prop up the dollar AND give them some breathing room to continue printing it could work. Question is, who would trust the US govt at this point? Like you mentioned, why not just buy physical? For the counties acquiring physical, I guess storage and security could be an issue - though this could be solved just by putting it on a military installation or some other super-secure site. If there was a sweetener - like some type of interim payments as the bond matures, I could see that luring some folks in. Ease of liquidity could factor in.

Remember, we're dealing with the Art of the Deal (or is it Art of the Scam?) and the smartest guy in the room, so based on my perspective of the Trumper's personality he doesn't care what happens later after he leaves the presidency, he just wants to avoid being the fall guy for the currency and liabilities changes that are inevitable. Just kicking the can down the road like so many of these other chumps who occupied the White House.

It will be interesting to see what, if anything, happens on the 4th.

O.K., just saw this. This Bimbo is making the very same point I've made here before concerning them doing a gold-backed 50 yr. bond.

Let's speculate the big gold lover in the White House comes out and announces this is going to happen on the 4th. What's that telling us?

It tells me that someone sees the long-term viability of the dollar going to Hell in a handcart, so it requires gold backing AGAIN. This is a credibility issue for the fiat dollar IMO. How do we even know they have the gold to back these bonds? The physical gold may not even be there and why Trump and Musk abruptly quit talking about auditing Fort Knox when it was being talked about. That was all swept under the rug.

Why in the Hell would I want to hold a 50 year gold back bond when I can buy REAL, PHYSICAL gold right now? If they do this it could backfire on their ass. Who in their right mind woudl expect to get their gold in the next 50 years? Not me.

We should see more people buying physical gold and holding off on buying any bonds. Easy choice if You ask me, but they're getting desperate to sell some long bonds.

Latest musings from David Erfle about the junior mining sector. He's been there, done that and as he explains in this interview it's critical to know when to get in and to get out of mining shares. Sentiment for the sector was at 100 for the sector a few months ago, now he's saying it's at zero. 100 being the highest, zero being the very bottom. Hard to believe it could do that so quickly.

I wonder if Erfle has any FMG in his portfolio? I'm guessing he does.

This is a very good interview and worth watching from a macro perspective. Felix Z. always gives great insight and so does Gundlach.

What they see coming is not good. Felix is calling for the shit storm to hit probably before year's end. Probably also why Kevin Warsh doesn't want to begin hiking rates knowing that would make him look like a Fool and the Fed is clueless. They talk a little about gold, but mostly about how they see potential
blow-ups in the near future.

What's coming won't be a normal recession and big changes may be in the offing.

Article about how the task forces will delay any rate movements until the end of the year. The article makes a lot of sense.

Warsh will just say the "task forces" are compiling data on what needs to be done, so they can't hike rates before they figure out where inflation really is.
Meanwhile inflation is soaring higher and has been for the last 5 years.

This is looking more to me like a stall tactic for not raising interest rates, when inflation is too high. This is too easy to see through and reeks of BS.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/warshs-task-forces-give-the-fed-wiggle-room-to-put-off-changing-rates-until-december-364fc1fc?mod=home_lead

Tom Lee is almost NEVER bearish, so his call for some sort of correction this Fall is going to be noted by a lot of stock market Watchers. IMO, he gave some valid reasons for it happening. I don't think this Iranian war thing is over just yet either, it may just be being put on hold till after the 4th of July celebrations and maybe until even after the midterms. That we'll have to wait and see, but I fully expect the Straits to be shut down again at some point, forcing Trump to act accordingly.

I watched Warsh the other day and nothing he said sounded dovish to me, but we know how all this shit gets twisted around. What he said last week was not initially what the markets wanted, but here's what Warsh is going to do. He talked ad nauseum about how all the data the Fed collects is flawed and that he's going to bring in all of these various TASK FORCES to look at how unreliable the data they're getting is.

That's being done to recalibrate how inflation is determined and his intentions are to make inflation seem even LOWER than the way it's fudged currently. So, in other words, they're going to cook the numbers again to make inflation seem lower, in order to lower interest rates. In the current debt environment we know raising rates can't work, so they have to move the goal posts to scam everyone. That's what's coming.

IMO everything Warsh said the other day is BS, they're not going to raise rates. They'll end up cutting because the inflation data bar will be lowered AGAIN. I think they keep rates the same until then.

Enjoyed the Tom Lee clip. I could see his reasoning for kind of bearish activity in the fall - extra Space X shares unlocking, Anthropic and OpenAI public offerings, margin debt, etc. Makes sense.

His take on the first Warsh Fed meeting with him as chair was a bit surprising to me. I did not take it as pretty dovish like Lee did. I do think Warsh is trapped and will have to print. Pulling a Voelker won't work because we can't afford the interest on the debt.

I've been following David Hunter for probably 3 years now and back then his predictions were pretty unbelievable and pie-in-the-sky. He kept calling for a higher stock market and his projections were at the time, I thought unreachable. He's been proven to be right and keeps upping his projections higher, until the bust comes. His predictions on when the bust actually comes have been pushed back.

I personally think he's wrong about where the PM's go in the short term and IMO we won't see much higher PM prices until after this speculative blow-off/crash happens and money rotates out of tech and into commodities.

Here's his latest. He still is calling for a lot more upside to come.

Rules for thee and not for me - that is what is going on with the Trumper family AND CONgress.

I'll watch the Tom Lee video in a while - gotta head out on some errands.

I am looking forward to what is hopefully good news from the federal/provincial govt. by the end of this month or early next month.

Here's the interview. Frank G. is one of my favorites.

Video with Frank G. Just watch from about 37:20 to 39:10. This is good news, particularly for Duparquet, but also for Springpole. Improved permitting times will help FF a lot. I am also glad because the money generated will be good for Canada.

Trump would have to make it look like whatever problems Stategy/Saylor have are related to them and NOT to Bitcoin, so that's the trick. Trump wants to pick it up cheap, but not make it look like Bitcoin has no value or is a worthless ponzi, so it would have to be a Strategy related issue, not a Bitcoin issue. Where Stategy's Bitcoin would end up in some sort of bankruptcy is debatable I suppose but I'm thinking the government would stick their nose in it from a national security aspect. JMO

Trump and his family probably did more insider market trades in the first month of his term than Congress has done in the past 5 years. No doubt in my mind that's been going on.

The Trump factor. It would not surprise me if that was a strategy of his in order to get bitcoin at a lower price. Think about it - if it is a national security issue, they could possibly use the government printing press to break Saylor if they wanted to. Based on all the suspicious trading around Trump's announcements about the Iran war (it's on, no it's off, no it's on, no it's off again), it would not surprise me if they pull some fast ones with bitcon.

You mentioned Tom Lee. If you don't follow this Guy, he has a reputation of being an UBER bull market pundit and is widely followed.

He was interviewed on Friday by Scott W. on CNBC and this is what he's saying now.

Yeah, that caught my eye when I saw it over on ZH. There's too much shenanigans going on with that Strategy

If they went under that might bring the whole damn Bitcoin ponzi down. I still suspect Trump may want to see Saylor go bust and pick up his Bitcoin on the cheap. I wouldn't put anything past that Guy.

Yes, the different timelines from past bubbles IMO can come sooner or later as they move forward. The stats show us that, but most of these bubbles come from a result of some sort of new technology or advent (like the railroads or early telegraph/telephone) that changed the world forever.

The big problems come with the build-out of the new technology. It ALWAYS gets ahead of itself and rampant overbuilding and speculation come into play. All of these A.I. data centers that are being built now are that speculation I'm speaking of. I don't have a clue as to how long before the bust comes for the A.I. speculation to happen is going to be, but it will come. History says it will.

IMO some future event will make everyone think A.I. isn't everything it's cracked up to be and the air will come out of the balloon. I heard the other day someone talking about A.I. related stocks were going to be 48% of the total revenue gains for the S&P this year. That's seriously dangerous territory if you ask me.

Thanks for sending that article. I forwarded it to a few folks. Peter Schiff also discussed this in a recent video. I believe Tom Lee is doing something similar with BMNR and ethereum.

Shiller CAPE = 41.71
This is the second-highest CAPE reading in 145 years of US market history. Only the December 1999 peak (~44) was higher. We are above the 1929 peak (33), above the 2007 peak (27), above the 2021 peak (38). The long-term mean is 17. At today's level, the next decade's real returns from US equities are historically near zero— this number tells nothing about timing. ( I understand markets can irrationally grind upward and go hyperbolic.) CAPE was already extreme in 1997 and the market ran for three more years.

Margin Debt YoY = +53.7%
Investors are borrowing against their portfolios at a pace seen only at major tops: late 1999, mid-2007, late 2021. A +50%+ YoY surge means people are leveraged long and feeling bulletproof.

However, right now, Junk bonds aren't being dumped relative to Treasuries (no credit stress). VIX 3-month is higher than spot VIX (contango = market expects calm). 57% of S&P 500 names are above their 200-day average (broad participation) and the SPY itself is 8.5% above its 200-day average.

So, right now, we have extreme valuation + extreme leverage + calm credit/breadth/trend — most closely resembles Q4 2021 / January 2022. That setup unwound into a -25% drawdown over the following 10 months, but it took a catalyst (Fed pivot to aggressive tightening) to crack the calm indicators. The valuation and leverage were already in place; they just needed a match.

This Guy gives a good overview of historical bubbles and financial crises' going back hundreds of years. Pretty much since Man has been able to be scammed and hood-winked into money making schemes.

People haven't changed; they want to make easy money and the Herd mentality along with onerous debt are a disastrous combination for these bubbles. I think we're looking a lot like the 1929-time frame with the stock market and throw in with that the AI bubble to make matters worse.

This could be the biggest cluster-fuck coming in human history. All the ingredients are in place. Everything is perceived as "good news" and no one is looking past their nose on what might happen if it all goes wrong. That's how bubbles pop and the stampede happens later on.

This looks like a potential disaster coming for the uninformed suckers in Strategy.

I thought it quite odd that insiders wouldn't be buying a lot of shares now before the Springpole EA is announced. For whatever reason Keith's purchases weren't filed and made public until yesterday. Why that is I don't know, but he's certainly added a lot of shares since March 23rd. Good to see.

Wouldn't surprise me if we get the EA news on Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Thanks for sharing the news as to Mr. Neumeyer's purchases since March 23, 2026.

Thanks for sharing. EOM

Check this out. Keith bought a lot more than one million shares last week on the 11th.

I see three other filings here where he bought another 1.896,500 million shares on March 23rd that weren't filed until yesterday. That brings Keith's total holdings in FMG to over 46 million shares now. I remember him saying he wanted to have 50 million shares before he slowed down. He's almost there now.

People have still been buying the shorter duration bonds that yield less return, but aren't committed to hold for 30 years either. That's different.

The 30 year bond (long term) is what's NOT being bought. The government knows that and I suspect that's why they've been kicking around a 50 year gold-back bond. They figure if they say its gold backed that will be something people BELIEVE IN.

People certainly aren't buying that the fiat dollar or the solvency of this country will be here in 30 or 50 years and why they've abandoned the long bond. The rest of the world is doing the same.

Stranger things have happened. Just a few years ago people were buying bonds with negative yields! They weren't Joe Six Pack either - they were financial professionals!

Exactly what I was looking for. Keith making a big purchase. I'm kind of surprised he only bought a million shares. It never made sense to me that insiders wouldn't be buyers here.

He made the buy on the 11th (before the announcement with First Nations) and the buy was filed today.
Wonder why the filing was so late in coming? A full week from the purchase to the filing.

Speaking of insider buys....... how about 1 million shares ?

Here's my 2 cents on this.

Let's say Trump comes out on the 4th of July and declares a gold-backed 50 yr. bond. What's that screaming to anyone that will listen?

IMO it says THEY (the government) see the dollar as toilet paper and gold is to some degree money again. This horse shit about the dollar being backed just on the full faith and credit of the U.S. government is a fairy tale. Backing a bond with gold would be an admission that gold is real money. The government knows the long bond is and has been dead money for a long time, so that might be their way of trying to resurrect the long bond, but in reality, it's saying gold is the money.

When I think about it why would I be dumb enough to stick money in ANY 50 yr. bond? It makes more sense to me to just own physical gold or silver now, not 50 years down the road when it may not be there to get. I'll take possession of it now, rather than later.

Here's another thing. I've said it here before the U.S. has to be very careful about gold revaluations and/or making gold King again. Why? Because China has a lot more gold than the U.S. has and unless the Fools running the Show in this country don't know that we could see them fucking themselves in the end. This government's goal is to keep the dollar as King, not gold, so they shouldn't be looking to reinstate gold as money per se.

We'll see what happens.

No, that's not the way it works. The EA approval is NOT insider knowledge. Dan's been talking about that publicly for a long, long time now.

The public knows it's coming, we just don't know the exact date. I suppose there could be some rule that they can't buy shares before some big news breaks, but it has nothing to do with insider information being compromised. The EA approval is public knowledge already.

I think the biggest concern is the fear of being accused of using insider information. If they were to buy now and the EA approval hits, they are vulnerable to lawyers filing suits against them.

Here's the question that needs to be answered. Why aren't Company insiders like Keith and Dan coming in now and adding shares?

Wouldn't this be the time to be going all in? We've made nice with the Natives around Springpole and the EA approval is pending to be announced, wouldn't this be the right time for that to happen prior to the EA announcement?

It would seem to me we should see some insider buying coming fairly soon.

O.K., here's the real story on what's happening at the Fed. Peter Schiff tells it like it is. The only person that speaks the truth.

Here's a fairly short interview with Ed Yardeni talking about Warsh and what he may be doing. IMO he makes some good observations. Warsh won't do anything unless inflation keeps moving higher. The Fed controls what the inflation numbers are, so at the end of the day they call the shots on what inflation supposedly is. The Fed will continue to stand pat until they're forced to raise rates is the way I see it.

Inflation has been ABOVE their 2% inflation target for 5 years now, so when is anyone at the Fed going to take the Bull by the balls and do something about it? My guess is never, unless they're absolutely forced to do so. Most of all this is just BS and jaw-boning the markets.

I watched Warsh yesterday, he claims he wants to bring the Fed into the "modern ages" of central banking. All the data collection methods they use now are outdated and not really accurate or useful anymore. He mentioned probably a dozen times about bringing in various "task forces" to help unfuck how the Fed has been operating for years. We'll see if he can get anything done fighting the bureaucracy, but I give the Man a lot of credit for trying. We know change in the System can bring on a lot of pain before it might get better. We also know Trump is a change agent, so they see eye to eye in that respect. How they come about doing it may be different, but Warsh said the Fed would be committed to getting inflation back to 2%. LOL. Good luck with that barring a market crash or financial disaster coming soon. That may be in the cards.


Higher interest rates come as a result of too much money printing, debt, and eventually out of control inflation. That's where we are now, so this is a vicious circle that's not going to end well, especially for those people holding a lot of fiat dollars.

Sorry, no chance they lower rates towards the end of the summer. Raise rates maybe, lower no way.
