@japan_nobunaga I was shocked how many people would squeeze into subway cars during rush hour in Tokyo. People literally had their faces pushed up against the glass. Americans wouldn't have either the patience or tolerance to be so close to each other.
@japan_nobunaga Once while riding on the Tokyo subway a native girl started speaking English with me. The subway car was only a third full. I thought she was being kind and just practicing her English. Afterwards people told me there was probably more intent behind her being forward. Who knows.
@TheApeOfGoldST Great question. Are the people who want a one world order with open borders the same ones who'd like access to all of Russia's resources? Russia probably has hundreds of Prudhoe Bay equivalents.
@TheApeOfGoldST One "lifestyle" company which drove me nuts was ATAC Resources. They had great mineralization but management seemed to have no drive. I held the stock for years and ended up selling it for a loss when the company was taken over!
@BrianGoodner Great list! The two I don't own are HYMC since it ran away before getting a good entry price (although it's starting to look tempting again) and SVM since I abhor investing in China (even for a quality silver miner).
@BrianGoodner In addition to your greater than 6x for silver miners, add in the silver to gold ratio dropping down to 40, 30, or even 20; the percent ownership increasing from .5% to 2%; along with silver becoming unobtainium. All of a sudden $300/oz of silver looks very reasonable. Go AYA!!!
@BrianGoodner I hope Bunker Hill Mining (BHLL) buys out Blackrock Silver. Combining Blackrock with both Silver47 and BHLL would create a North American silver powerhouse! I plussed up on BHLL today.
@squeezestreet@MBAeconomics1 USAS is really overdue for a breakout! Hopefully, once the stock price breaks out they'll be more aggressive with M&A!
@CdnxTracker I bought St. Andrews Goldfields which was taken over by Kirkland Lake Gold, which merged with Agnico Eagle Mining. My cost basis in AEM is $5.34/share. Unfortunately, I sold half my position listening to some influencer on Twitter!
@japan_nobunaga I had a long layover in Narita airport. I was really tired and couldn't find a place to lock up my computer, so I stuck it under my legs and took a nap on some chairs. When I woke up my computer was still there. I don't think that would've happened in most American airports!
@japan_nobunaga I was riding on the bullet train to Kyoto. A Japanese man came up to the seat I was sitting in and left. It felt strange. He came back with a conductor who looked at my ticket and stated I was in the right seat, but on the wrong train! My train was only several minutes behind!!!
