Trump Wants Investors To Buy American Mining and Manufacturing

Trump Wants Investors To Buy American Mining and Manufacturing
I just read Trump's inaugural speech and it can be summed up in the following sentence, "Buy American and hire American". This policy could have a great impact on some of our US natural resource holdings including our investments in US precious metals, rare earths, graphite, lithium, uranium...which have been forgotten about for nearly twenty years as large mining companies sought mines in foreign jurisdictions which had less regulatory burdens then the US. For years I expected a renaissance in this abandoned mineral sector as a country can last only so long before people realize that their jobs have been sent overseas.

Growing Silver Developer Breaks Out of Downtrend Channel With New Management Team

Growing Silver Developer Breaks Out of Downtrend Channel With New Management Team
Dolly Varden granted options at $.65 per share to Mr. Cope. Any price below that I consider to be a bargain as you now have great management combined with one of the highest grade silver resources in Canada. The stock has been in a four month correction but made a bullish MACD crossover in late November and could be on the verge of breaking a four month downtrend resistance on this exciting news.

Medical Developer Believes Device Could Screen for Deadly Strokes and Save Lives

Medical Developer Believes Device Could Screen for Deadly Strokes and Save Lives
Usually I am focused on natural resource stocks and mining as I like the fact that the companies are backed by real assets in the ground that can be verified with NI 43-101 reports. However, there are times when some new small cap situations are presented in other sectors that are unique and exciting as the potential can't be denied. Right now in the US a person suffers a stroke every 40 seconds. It is the leading cause of disability and 3rd leading cause of death in this country with close to 800k strokes annually. Its costing our healthcare system over $70 billion in 2010 and this is expected to triple over the next decade. There must be a better way and I think I may have found a new situation that could possibly help stem this stroke crisis. Carotid arterial stenosis or plaque buildup is a leading cause of strokes. A little company which is barely a month or two old publicly has a medical device with patents that measures infrasound waves of the blood flow through the carotid artery and analyzes the blockages.

Lithium Stocks Breaking Out From 2 Year Base on New Tesla Gigafactory

Lithium Stocks Breaking Out From 2 Year Base on New Tesla Gigafactory
Big news hit the markets this week as Tesla's (TSLA) Gigafactory was activated outside Reno, Nevada producing batteries and possible cars soon. For years batteries were dominated by Asia, but now the US is leading the world with possibly 4k new jobs being added this year on top of the close to 3k employees already employed at the Gigafactory. I expect this catalyst could have a boom on the Lithium ETF (LIT), Tesla (TSLA) and our top notch junior mining equities exploring and developing lithium, cobalt and graphite assets. Tesla needs to manufacturer a lot of batteries to produce its goal of 500k electric cars by 2018. This is an ambitious plan as the risk lies in the raw material supply.

Is the Correction in Precious Metals, Uranium, Lithium and Rare Earths Stocks Over?

Is the Correction in Precious Metals, Uranium, Lithium and Rare Earths Stocks Over?
It appears that New Year 2017 has brought in with it renewed interest and new buy signals in the commodity sector and the junior miners. The TSX Venture is making a parabolic move as all the shorts have dried up and a whole new group of buyers appears to be entering. The Junior Gold Miner ETF (GDXJ) is breaking a 5 month downtrend and so is the silver miners etf (SIL). Now the next technical bullish breakout is regaining the 200 DMA, which I expect to come quickly.Uranium Miners ETF (URA) are breaking out of cup and handle breakout along with the Lithium Stocks ETF (LIT) as investors look to clean energy commodities.
