Does Nat Gas and Oil go the way of Coal in the United States?

Georgia Senators determine the Fate of Oil and Gas in the United States:
At the end of last week, the US Democrats had a majority in the House of Representatives. President-elect Joe Biden is likely to take his oath and become the forty-sixth President of the United States on January 20. The last link in the chain that would allow for a clear sailing of the Democrat’s political agenda is a majority in the Senate. As of the end of last week, Republicans held fifty seats and Democrats forty-eight. Two seats remain outstanding. If Democrats capture those contests (both are in Georgia), they win the majority as Vice President-elect Harris would have the tie-breaking vote. Andrew Hecht – Seeking Alpha Continue reading →

I: Precious Metals are in a Bull Market

• We have expanded that to all miners as contributors to Infrastructure Buildout, Alternative Energy Expansion and Electrification of Transportation.
• This Metal Bull is volatile and long winded – this will last for multiple years but expect sharp, sudden and out-of-nowhere corrections. Recoveries will be equally quick and sharp.

II: 2020 to 2030 will be the Decade of Commodities.

• Fed Policy clearly states low interest rates for multiple years and a desire to let inflation rise above Fed target goals. Why – Pay back the Federal Debt with Cheaper Dollars. It was done after the Civil War and after WW2. First rule of Investing: Follow the Fed.
• Oil & Gas Prices will rise in 2021 and 2022 as Jet travel and economies normalize with introduction of Covid Vaccines
• Copper, Nickel, Cobalt, Aluminum and Silver demand will increase as the transport industry electrifies – Batteries, Electric motors, Wind Solar & Electronics devices. All require metal and electrical conductivity. As environmental regulations increase with the new administration and inhibit supply, metal prices will rise.

What to Do?

Prime Junior Silver Miners ETF

Long Time readers Know we have been bullish on Silver and gold since June of 2015. That is when the miners were valued at the lowest price Vs the physical metals ever. “Too Cheap”, is what we said at the time. Since then we have had some amazing rallies and some breathtaking corrections, but always working in an upward direction. It is not ending any time soon. The 2020 chart above is easy to read. A 50% decline in less than four weeks in March a really nice rally to August 1 and a correction until now. What to do? Continue reading →

Market took a big correction this week. Our positions came down like everyone’s.

We have a position or two we will sell on a rally.

A possible candidate is FLY. Further research into the Airline industry suggest that lease rates were being negotiated lower even before Corona-19 Virus. Probably more so since the Communist  China Corona Virus arrived. It is beginning to look like too much swimming against the current with no visible catalyst to resolve the issue. We do not suggest buying or adding to this position. Continue reading →
