Did anyone catch that Kodak Train? Stock had a low of $1.50 on 3/23 and took off and hit a SP of 60.00 on 7/29. Now it’s trading at $6.75 ouch!
Stock Tip ; BABYF??.
Did anyone take a position in Palantir Technologies Inc. after it IPO’d? (I have a small position here.)
Offering software — and, crucially, teams of engineers that customize the software — Palantir helps organizations make sense of vast amounts of data. It helps gather information from various sources like internet traffic and cellphone records and analyzes that information. It puts those disparate pieces together into something that makes sense to its users, like a visual display.
NYT
This is a very interesting stock. Perhaps I should have posted it on the Global Health Effects on Markets and Mining Stock back in October when I took a starter position, and never caught a retrace to add to the position. I post it here because it is not a mining stock. It caught my eye in a WSJ article that stated, " Data-mining company Palantir Technologies Inc. is helping the federal government set up a system that will track the manufacture, distribution and administration of Covid-19 vaccines, state and local health officials briefed on the effort said."
Palantir Technologies is a public American software company that specializes in big data analytics. Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, it was founded by Peter Thiel, Nathan Gettings, Joe Lonsdale, Stephen Cohen, and Alex Karp in 2003.

The latest cyber infringement fiasco with Solar Winds SWI has had, company IT (Information technology) security people, looking for better locks to put on the cookie cabinets. MM$ jumped on the wave up, on IT security stocks.
They’ve now have gone elsewhere. But it will still be a growing sector.

ZEN Graphene Solutions Develops Novel Graphene-Based Potential Treatment for Bacterial and Viral Infections in Humans
December 22, 2020
Guelph, ON
ZEN Graphene Solutions Ltd. (“ ZEN ” or the “ Company ”) (TSXV:ZEN and OTC:ZENYF) is pleased to announce that it has developed a potential graphene-based antibiotic, antiviral and antifungal compound. Recently received testing results from the University Health Network/Mount Sinai Hospital Department of Microbiology in Toronto indicate that this patent pending formulation could be a medical breakthrough in the treatment of numerous human-contracted pathogens including, upper and lower respiratory tract infections – where COVID-19 is a major contributor – as well as drug resistant organisms. Testing was conducted by Dr. Tony Mazzulli, MD, FRCPC, FACP, Microbiologist-in-Chief & Infectious Disease Specialist at Mount Sinai Hospital. Dr. Mazzulli is also a Professor at the Departments of Laboratory Medicine & Pathobiology and Medicine at the University of Toronto…

CS,
Interesting enough to take a look at, although not familiar with any graphene other than GPHBF, which I’ve had a position in since 2017. Still a little in the red on that one. Chart on FCSMF looks like a better play at this point than GBBGF, although I’m not familiar with either company. Regarding the Lithium plays, AMLM does look like it’s may be in play, but I prefer ALB, LAC, RRSSF and NTTHF in this space. The AMEX lithium ETF (BATT) and NYSE lithium ETF are both looking solid:
These appear to be worthwhile trading vehicles riding the upward trend in lithium mining stocks. Regarding the ZEN graphene, it has already left the station! Not easy to catch it unless it retraces. Reminds me of the chart on ESK.V (Eskay Mining Corp.), a gold and silver play I missed hitching a ride with.
Thanks for bringing attention to these other sectors, including CYBER. All are trending strongly upwards.

Thanks Easy M.
For a few more Companies to look into. A man can’t watch all the mouse holes at once. I did get to the station in time to hitch a ride on ZENYF ü
but jumped off too soon I see. I didn’t want to get piggy.
I’m waiting to get back on, but only after the next couple weeks shake out.
To much off balancing in the news right now to make a commitment.
With “both” precious metal prices and stocks at such highs something has to slip. I would rather not be on slippery rocks just now.
Take Care … 4usall … Good Hunting. Cs
Just a disclosure and follow-up from my previous post. I sold 25% of my LAC at very near the high of day this morning. Had to take profits somewhere, and 300%+ on a long position isn’t terrible. I may miss it, but looking to buy back LAC if it retraces appreciably. I don’t have a position (yet) in AMLM, but it had a 32% gain today. ZEN appears to be consolidating a bit after gapping up a couple weeks ago. I’ll mention it again, investing is a longterm game for me. I’m not against taking significant short term gains, but I much prefer taking gains on a stock I’ve held a year or more, and then replacing shares if it retraces from where I took a long term profit. It’s good to lock in some profits along the way rather than trying for a home run on everything.

Congrats on continued success Easy!

Well, I sold off more LAC this morning at 27.85, $1 less than the high, but managed to buy some replacement shares back on Jan 11 @17.75. The shares sold were all “long” so capital gains should be taxed at 15%. It is advantageous for me to have long shares ready in reserve of market upswings to capture profits at the lowest possible tax rate.
Altius Announces Filing of Preliminary Prospectus for Altius Renewable Royalties Corp
Altius Minerals Corporation (ALS:TSX) (ATUSF: OTCQX) (“ Altius ” or the “ Corporation ”).
Mr. Brian Dalton reports: Altius established ARR to provide royalty based financing to renewable power developers, originators and operating projects. ARR has financing relationships with certain top-tier developers providing it with exposure to a robust development pipeline of U.S.-based wind and solar projects. These development stage investments made by the ARR are not restricted to any specific project but rather fund a developer’s project portfolio, including projects that are added to the portfolio after the investment agreement with the ARR was entered into, positioning the developer to be able to ultimately bring more projects to market. ARR will receive royalties as these projects are sold on to end sponsors and operators…
Brian Dalton, Chief Executive Officer of ARR and Altius Minerals Corp. stated, "This IPO follows four years of exciting collaboration and innovation with New Hampshire, USA based Great Bay Renewables LLC (“GBR”). GBR is the operating subsidiary of ARR and it was recently made the subject of a joint venture that is expected to lead to certain funds managed by Apollo Global Management, Inc. (“the Apollo Funds”) earning in to become a 50% shareholder. Following the expected earn-in, each of ARR and the Apollo Funds will be entitled to equally co-fund additional investment opportunities that are developed by the GBR management team - which consists of a highly experienced group of renewable energy industry professionals led by Frank Getman and including Ray Faust, Josh Levine and Bill Rodgers.”
He then added, “The purpose of the IPO is to enable ARR to more directly access capital in order to fund its participation in new investments that are developed by GBR following completion of the Apollo Funds’ earn-in. There is no secondary sale component contemplated as part of the IPO. Post-closing, Altius Minerals expects to remain as the major shareholder of ARR and to continue to participate in and benefit from its long-term growth potential.”

I haven’t mentioned Altius before, although I have a small starter position. This new prospectus is being shaped as a subsidiary Royalty company. May be worth keeping an eye open for when the IPO starts trading.
A little off the mining talk.
So I talked with some fellows today sent out to update a fenced in storage lot we oversee. I asked? how business was going? His reply;
IT’S GOING “Gang busters"the last couple months after the city riots.
He also mentioned this is what they are seeing and hearing across the board.

I thought this was a Interesting sector to look into.
Opps I guess I should have titled my post “Security update on our property”.
My mistake. Cs.
Any chance we can get someone to get a short squeeze started for MDMN a la $GME? Unreal.

Well, brecciaboy, if you like short squeezes, take a look at what the common man is doing to Melvin capital, et al, in the GME situation - epic, the little man is making them pay. I wonder if there is any securities violation for simply getting together on an internet platform (i.e. Reddit) and targeting a certain stock to wipe out the shorts. I wouldn’t think so, as long as there is no inside information involved (short interest is public).
A text I sent sent to some friends today.
; A HEDGE FUND HAD TO COVER ITS SHORTS TODAY.
This will be the big news in the market in the weeks to come.
The little guys uniting to kick the big MMs
(Money Makers) that manipulate the stock markets in the nut sack today, again!

A LARGE hedge fund that had to cover some of its short plays today. (( hedge funds that hold stupid amounts of money from the likes of teacher, firemen, postal workers etc,etc unions… Or maybe senators?? )) Peoples money that they could get killed for losing it. That is why the Securities exchange is trying to put a halt to this run called a “short squeeze”. Its not trying to protect the little hundred dollars here or there investor, HELL no! Its trying to protect the crooks of Wall Street with that action. But in truth" is trying to prevent a melt down also.
RUMOR. HAS IT THIS ONE HEDGE FUND HAD TO BORROW ""2.8 BILLION$$$$ “YES BILLION” DOLLARS to buy / cover buy backs of some of the companies it has / had short holdings in. !!! Like I say a lot of little guys punched the big bad WOLFS OF Wall Street IN THE BALLS TODAY.
More to come as The following link / article talks about.
