@elonmusk bet: AI + humanoid robots (Optimus) create explosive productivity → post-scarcity abundance.
Goods/services become super cheap/abundant.
From UBI to ‘Universal High Income’ - everyone gets housing, healthcare, food, even luxuries. Work becomes optional.
This is how we grow our way out of massive debt. GDP skyrockets, debt/GDP shrinks.
Only path to avoid bankruptcy.
What if AI is actually creating more jobs than it is replacing?
The latest JOLTs data showed that US job openings surged by a massive 731,000 jobs in April.
Markets were expecting no change, resulting in the largest beat in JOLTs history.
As a result, available employment hit 7.6 million for the month, the highest since May 2024.
And, job openings in the professional and business services sector surged by a massive 668,000.
The labor market's bull case from AI is underpriced.
At current #copper prices, After Tax NPV10 is now above $5 billion CAD. Run it using an after tax NPV5 and your head will spin. Current market cap $28 million CAD.
$FRI.V Freeport Resources - has a ~C$25M market cap.
Its flagship Yandera project hosts:
• 6.9 BILLION lbs #copper
• 1.59 MILLION oz #gold
• 159 MILLION lbs #molybdenum
One of the world’s largest undeveloped copper deposits, with over US$200M already spent on exploration and development.
If copper keeps ripping, juniors with tier-one scale assets won’t stay ignored forever.
I think the jurisdiction risk is the main part. It’s in PNG… they have to get permits every two years or so and they’re in the process of getting it renewed.
It’s also a massive capex, over a billion dollars.
There’s also about 380 million shares outstanding, lots of dilution has occurred
$200 million USD was pumped into drilling it in the 2010s so it’s very de risked form a project POV
$FRI.V FY2026 highlights:
• Cash increased to $2.9M
• Working capital grew to $2.77M
• Annual loss improved to $3.65M from $4.23M
• Burn rate declined
• No debt
• Yandera license renewed and renewal application submitted
• 9.2B lbs Cu + 2.9Moz Au + 180M lbs Mo resource
• Located in PNG, one of the world’s premier copper-gold belts
At a ~$28M market cap, FRI controls one of the largest undeveloped copper-gold projects held by a junior.
The asset isn’t the question. The market is discounting PNG risk, development costs, and execution risk while waiting for a catalyst: JV, strategic partner, updated economics, or takeover.

To sum up the issues even if Hormuz opens this month:
- Crews won't sail back in
- Charterers don't want the risk
- Insurers won't cover
- Ships need maintenance (barnacles, parts, oil changes, etc.)
- Gulf logistics are a nightmare right now
No normalization this year IMO
