@AtomicCorp @SloCan68 Fantastic, but how about DFC financing ?

[Mark Koops @therealkoops]

Appreciate the feedback. I speculated with Bitcoin in 2017 - long story short, i like it, i see a future, but I prefer commodities to invest in. The cycles make it more predictable to me, the volatility across commodities and bitcoin is comparable, but together with demand and supply fundamentals, I prefer commodities.

$LMCU @LuminaMetals founder Ross Beaty stated:
"So it's a global scale deposit; more than a billion ounces of silver in resources, about 10 million metric tons of copper in resources…So these are giant deposits…Another discovery we made, and we're going to be servicing value on that one. Maybe it will be the same size as Nowa Sól, which could take our silver resources to over two billion ounces. So that's pretty exciting. I think together right now they're about one and a half billion [ounces] between the two deposits. So it's absolutely world-class. However you cut it, we'll have the largest silver resources of any company on the planet, I think, and that will command a premium valuation once we get into that silver retail crowd who I know so well from having founded Pan American Silver"

🇸🇦 The Strait of Hormuz is closed and oil still hasn't hit $150. Here's why.

Energy Economist Anas Alhajji breaks it down: strategic reserves, demand destruction, fuel switching, and a Saudi move nobody was talking about.

"Knowing when they saw the American ships basically coming to the Gulf, they knew something is going on."

Saudi Arabia pre-loaded storage in Egypt and Rotterdam before the war even started. Europe bought itself two months... The clock is still ticking.

Inflation is a monetary phenomenon, and has nothing to do with higher oil prices. If the price of something goes up, that does not mean inflation. If money printing is taking place, for example in response to higher oil prices, then the result of the money printing is inflation. Note, there are many reasons for money printers to go bredere, oil aside....

[Mark Koops @therealkoops]

Agree. Watch it. And, take action !

I have followed Cyril Jubert for years, or even decades. He understands the precious metals markets very well, and has some interesting contacts in the field.

In his latest piece on the ‘End of the Western Hegemony’ he published some very interesting details on the recent halts of CME/COMEX trading. While he hasn’t given any real proof he gives some very specific details, which sound very plausible to me.

‘On November 30, the CME shut down all of its computer systems for ten hours to negotiate with a buyer to withdraw their delivery order for 7,330 contracts of 5,000 ounces of silver — a total of 36 million ounces — which would have placed COMEX in a very precarious situation. Ultimately, this trader agreed to have 6,816 of his contracts settled in cash, for a premium of $65 million.’

Coopération: 178 millions de dollars des États-Unis pour soutenir le système sanitaire nigérien

Le Niger et les États Unis ont signé, le jeudi 26 février 2026, un protocole stratégique de coopération de 178 millions de dollars américains pour financer le système sanitaire nigérien.

Ce protocole explique, un communiqué de l’ambassade des États-Unis au Niger, entre   dans le cadre de la Stratégie Mondiale de Santé << America First >> de l’administration Trump.

À travers ce protocole d’accord de cinq ans, poursuit l’ambassade, “les États-Unis et le Niger tracent la voie vers des systèmes de santé résilients, autonomes et durables au Niger, tout en protégeant les Américains en prévenant la propagation des maladies infectieuses grâce à l’amélioration de la surveillance et de la réponse aux épidémies”.

Les États-Unis, en collaboration avec le Congrès, “prévoient de fournir jusqu’à 107 millions de dollars d’assistance sanitaire au cours de la période de cinq ans” annonce la source selon laquelle , “ce soutien renforcera l’autonomie du système de santé nigérien, renforcera les capacités du personnel de santé et préservera les progrès réalisés au fil des années dans la prévention et le traitement du paludisme, la surveillance et la riposte aux maladies infectieuses, la prévention et la surveillance de la poliomyélite, ainsi que la santé maternelle et infantile”.

En outre, “l’assistance américaine élargira également l’accès à la prévention du paludisme, aux tests de diagnostic et aux traitements efficaces et le  Gouvernement du Niger augmentera ses propres dépenses nationales de santé de plus de 71 millions de dollars sur la durée du protocole d’accord de cinq ans, assumant ainsi une plus grande autonomie dans la gestion de son système de santé” souligne le communiqué.

Par ailleurs, cet accord “met l’accent sur une coopération bilatérale directe car il garantit que les financements soutiennent les services de première ligne, réduisent les coûts administratifs et produisent des résultats mesurables qui protègent à la fois les Américains et les Nigériens” indique l’ambassade.

Cet accord, réaffirme, un “engagement commun à préserver les acquis sanitaires durement obtenus” indique la source, réitérant  ainsi l’engagement des États-Unis à continuer “de signer des protocoles d’accord bilatéraux pluriannuels en matière de coopération sanitaire mondiale avec les pays bénéficiant d’une assistance sanitaire américaine dans le cadre de la Stratégie Mondiale de Santé << America First >> du Président Trump”.

$ GLO, we are at about a double, the raise which was expected, was raised at a significantly higher amount than the previous ones, DFC process is progressing. So far, so good. Nothing goes up in a straight line, and i view this as bullish long term.
