⏰This old post is still relevant.
Because… DID YOU KNOW?
That your broker is lending out YOUR shares to short sellers, liquidity providers, market makers and funds?
ETFs and major institutions also feed enormous amounts of stock into this lending ecosystem.
This is one reason trading in many mining stocks barely feels organic anymore. It has increasingly become a game of liquidity flows, algorithms, hedging and securities-lending fees, producing endless price action that often goes nowhere but those that is lending OUR shares are making a fortune on the transactions fees that occurs back and forth.
Without this, organic trading in a raging bullmarket in precious metals would be something to watch wouldn’t it 👀
Gold Miners vs. Gold: Even after the massive surge, they are still trading at historically low levels compared to the yellow metal. There is still so much potential. 🪙👇
Some people are out there rug-pulling their own subscribers and followers by promoting $5 million market-cap stocks with virtually zero liquidity in them.
They are essentially creating 30% to 50% price spikes through their own channels. Then the momentum dies, the “guru” has already sold, and subscribers and followers are left riding the stock all the way back down.
Once the buying stops, the liquidity disappears. The order book is so thin that those who chased the move cannot get out without crushing the price.
I have seen this countless times on X, yet people continue bidding against one another to get into these stocks. The stupidity is honestly impressive.
I always tell my Discord members, and everyone who follows me here, never chase an entry.
Either you get a good entry or you pass. There will always be another opportunity and another winning setup. Chasing an illiquid stock after it has already risen 20% to 30% in a day, or 30% to 50% within two or three days, is not smart. It is a recipe for losing money over the long run.
The only consistent winner is the person who sold you the story.
And for fuck’s sake, learn to recognize the difference between someone genuinely sharing a strong investment idea and someone selling you a story to generate instant gains and exit liquidity for himself.
A proven track record in stocks with genuine liquidity is the benchmark. Making a $5 million to $10 million market-cap stock with virtually no liquidity jump is not some magical “great call.” More often than not, it is simply the result of pushing the same idea through several channels, whether that is Substack, Discord, X, Telegram, or some combination of them.
Another major red flag is when no other respected or knowledgeable person in the sector ever discusses the stock.
It is probably not some magically undiscovered gem. More often than not, it is a scheme being played on you.
If your guru is the only person promoting a stock with a tiny market cap, a paper-thin order book, almost no average trading volume, no strong investors, and no respected sector voices discussing it, you need to start asking questions.
In my opinion trusted names in this sector are few, and those I trust the most are guys like:
@DonDurrett@Silver__Santa@KingKong9888@AllStreetsWolf@WSBGold@minenergybiz
I probably forgot a few names as I’m writing in the bed and am to tired to think about X handles👊🏽
GDX/Gold is at 0.0219 and back to Q1 2026 level when capital was chasing miners due to high gold price (the high was 0.0222). At the end of 2024, the number was down to 0.0129.
Sounds like a top now?
During the GFC in 2007/08, the number was 3 times higher at 0.0665
The stampede into miners has not even begun yet. Only some smart capital started positioning in the sector
“What if they find gold in space.”
Said a financial independent entrepreneur friend who could be living off his wealth when I talked about silver and the commodity bull run.
He’s betting on AI and tech, let’s see what happens when energy and resources get squeezed.
