Recapping the Fed Minutes and An Update on Oil
Chris Temple joined me after the Fed minutes were released to recap some of the points that he noted. We discuss the ongoing inflation debate within the Fed and the changing of the guard with a number of seat switching next year. We also look at the oil price which continues to move up ahead of the OPEC meeting next week.

D.T:
You’ve been saying the same thing everytime you post.
Did it ever occur to you that you have been the fool?

D.T on beach wishing he new how to surf.
LOL, you can’t see the sharks circling your floating palace. DT

I was apparently wrong in focussing on Tax Evasion.
JohnK, The little heads are buying and holding Bitcoin because they never listen to The big heads, but The big heads must listen to the little heads because they should never be controlled by the little heads. LOL! DT
D.T:
People are buying Bitcoin because they understand 21 Trillion of Debt and Trillions more in unfunded liabilities.
I can remember when we use to talk about Black Swans.
Bitcoin is proof that all hope of sound money is a distant memory.
Did you see Treasury Secy Mnuchin and his “Trophy” wife holding up a sheet of fiat money.
You can bet that there is more of that on the way.No head required.
Maybe it’s frustration at super-high prices in the US stock market, manipulation of gold and silver at super-low prices, interest rates held at below 5% and an inability to outrun inflation inherent in the US system.
Did D.T, finally say he was a bighead?
bighead
noun [ C ] UK /ˈbɪɡ.hed/ US /ˈbɪɡ.hed/ disapproving
someone who thinks that they are more important or cleverer than they really are:
He’s always boasting. He’s such a bighead!
CFS, haven’t you been reading the news the minutemen and the little heads are trying to take over the world, the latest was Charlie Rose, but then again I don’t expect you to see the humor. DT

JohnK,
I gave up on trying to educate some people on Cryptos.
The final story may not yet be in, but regardless, standing in front of a tidal wave, but ignoring it just does not make sense to me.
Riding the wave with care makes more sense.
But what do I know? I choose to live in California, which lots of people would consider crazy…..exposing myself to the hghest taxes.
CFS:
There actually was a time when I took a two week break from posting.That was around 2500.00 Bitcoin or something. I had let it get to me,I needed a break. On the second day D.T missed me so much,he had to post about the resident fool.
At some point I will let it go. Not Yet.
I do not see anything other than the US spending itself into oblivion:

Andy Hoffman of past Miles Franklin……..is ALL IN….Bitcoin…..
I guess I’m old snd senile.
All in anything is studity, unless you have inside information (and then it is probably illegal)
Yes, it is wise to keep up with changing times, but moderation in everything makes more sense.
Andy Hoffman fails to recognize the power of governments.
Governments can destroy fiat currencies by virtue of printing more and more.
Governments can also destroy cryptos by virtue of their power. They will do so when their governmental control is threatened.
Please notice the above statement in no way implies not to ride the wave……just to do so with eyes wide open, not eyes wide shut.
CFS:
China banned Bitcoin. How did that work out.
Funny you talk about the Govt……Greg has interview with X Fed person Danielle Booth, who indicates the Fed is studying Bitcoin and Block chain , as to see if they can implement it into the system…….see usawatchdog below……
Hoffman……is out of silver, because it weighs to much…..still says gold ok, ……but, his studies are totally on the cryptos…….
CFS……just listen to the podcast and you will get where Andy is coming from……OOTB
I listened to Andy Hoffman. He is simply too focussed.
He has not thought about the power of governments fully.
Governments and politicians will NEVER give up power easily.
Yes. Blockchains are brilliant concepts and seem safe in their distributed ledger existence, distributed over the world, which would appear to give them immunity from attack of any one government.
But people, as individuals, are not so distributed and invulnerable to attack.
If a government can not attack any particular crypto, do you doubt it will not choose to attack individual citizens or investors in cryptos in general?
CFS……..Now go listen to Greg and Booth……where she talks about the FED looking at adoption of bitcoin or cryptos………..
CFS…….as long as the cme, comex, cftc are controlling silver and gold, ….they are going nowhere fast. Even the Gann’s Report(one of Bobby M’s favorite) is looking at the metals in slow down mode.
Bix Weir..vs….Sinclair and Holter will be having a debate Sat. this week on the subject of BITCOIN VS GOLD….
This is posted as a reminder for those who may have missed it……………..OOTB
When Sinclair buys bitcoin I will too.
Sinclair is behind the curve………you will not be able to afford bitcoin when he decides to buy……..I am awaiting his commentary on Sat. which should be interesting to say the least.
I am still covering my bases…..with phyz….gold…..silver stinks, to much govt control on silver….you should read ….silver stealers . net.
In 2016, gold gained about 30% while silver gained well over 50%. Silver is going to smoke gold during the next up leg just like it always does.
Either way, I am covered,…….
Greg….and X Fed person……….

I have no idea what pipe people are smoking. However, inflation since 2007 has been over 100% based on food commodities, and the cost of…
The goobs that follow what the fed says, are, goobs…

Ditto………….Feds are just con groupies…………
It, has all been BS……for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG TIME
But hey, we’re looking for 2%, right…?
How anyone can think Yellen or Bernanke makes decisions is a joke. Look to those that
” own ” the fed. And those that own the fed are in “deep state sh~t”.
They are about to get Trumped”
Agreed…….
On the energy front, there are still interesting things developing all the time for Energy Storage and the metals and minerals needed to support these growing markets.
This news today on them cracking down on the child labor in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is overdue, but it will only underpin the desire from companies and refiners to continue to look for good sources outside of the DRC.

LME launches probe on cobalt suppliers over fears of child exploitation
Cecilia Jamasmie | about 8 hours ago
“The London Metal Exchange (LME), the world’s biggest market for industrial metals, has launched a probe into whether cobalt mined by child labour is trading on the exchange, following several reports indicating that minors are being exploited to extract the coveted mineral.”
“Members of the century-old trading platform first raised concerns about questionable cobalt this summer, Financial Times reports, as they feared some of it could have come from mines in the world’s leading producer — the Democratic Republic of Congo, largely accused of child exploitation.”
“The electric vehicles (EV) boom has impacted cobalt prices this year and the metal is trading at around $61,000 per tonne, the highest in more than five years. That makes of cobalt the most expensive of the minerals required for manufacturing EV batteries.”
“According to commodity researcher CRU Group, about 60% of the mined cobalt is used to make batteries and most of that supply (54% according to data from Bloomberg Intelligence) comes from the DRC, which also holds about 49% of the world’s known reserves.”

Nick French: We Are Approaching The Cobalt Cliff

We had a Graphite chat on here recently, due to it’s importance in batteries and Energy Storage. I was just wondering what investors here thought of $LEM $LEMIF Leading Edge Materials?
> They have a producing Woxna graphite project in #Sweden (good jurisdiction)
In addition to the primary Graphite project for (LEM)…..
Dick Tracy – I wondered when you said Dines was a fan of this company, if they have some #SpecialtyMetals or #RareEarths component as well.
Sure enough they have the Norra Karr Rare Earth project, (also in Sweden), and I used to have a position in Tasman back in 2011 or 2012 because this deposit was considered one of the best “Heavy” #RareEarth projects on the planet.
http://leadingedgematerials.com/norra-karr/
* Just recently, in fact, I was wondering whatever happened to Tasman as the project was so well respected in the previous cycle, and Rare Earths and related Strategic Metals are rising in price again. It is very wild that Leading Edge Materials Corp acquired this massive REE project, which is still sitting unnoticed and I’ve seen no discussion about it from other investors about this.
Apparently Flinders Graphite & Tasman Metals merged back in the summer of 2016, when most were preoccupied by the surging Precious Metals, but I am impressed that technically they now how 2 flagship projects under 1 roof:
Flinders I was a fan of dating back to the original REE mania but yes I stopped following it when the mania died. Definitely need to go back and look at all my past REE favs.
I see after all these years they are no closer to a mine by the looks of it
Their Graphite project has already been in production and is on standby for when the prices start to move. It is their “flagship” project now.
My point on Norra Karr was that it was Tasman’s old flagship Rare Earth project and it is well-endowed with the Heavy REEs.
Graphite is what will drive the first wave of Leading Edge Materials (LEM). The Rare Earths will provide it the second wave.
Anyone looking for an update on Auryn
With all the back log at the labs from drilling this summer the results have taken longer then everyone has expected. That said we do have results starting to come in with some partials and mediocre holes so far. The best part of the drilling took place in the later half of the program which is understandable as this was our first time on the property.
As for Peru drilling, we ended up adjusting our final drill plan which has caused us a two week delay in the start of the drill program – as soon as we officially start drilling we will announce this news which I expect any day now.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
My best,
Jay Adelaar
