Shout out to my NorCal homegirl Sharon for doing something ONLY 1 in 1,000,000 people out there even have the audacity to daydream about doing. Sharon most recently QUIT her day job so that she can pursue a life really worth living. Sharon, I’m rooting for you every step of the way! You’ve already motivated and inspired me so much on my own journey… Now go out there and accomplish some AMAZING things!!!

In June of 2015, I bought a one-way ticket to Stockholm for May 30, 2016. I remember that day vividly. I spent the entire [click to continue…]

These days, the hype surrounding electric vehicles (EV) is rapidly growing, and naturally, you’re going to have your skeptics and doubters. There ain’t nothing wrong with that. Since I’m new to the space myself, I’ve been spending a lot of time reading articles, forums, research papers, etc., trying to learn more so that I can better understand the industry. As readers should be well aware [click to continue…]

Don’t Fall in Love with Stocks - The Anatomy of a Pump and Dump (MUST WATCH)

I’ve said it so many times before, but I’ll say it again because it’s so important and worth repeating — “Don’t fall in love with stocks… or any of your investments.”

I mean, like ever… Just don’t do it. It’s probably the worst thing that you can do for your financial future. Not everything you buy will always turn out to be a [click to continue…]

Mining Stocks - Go Outside Just Your Own Borders

by FI Fighter on May 20, 2016

in Lithium, Precious Metals

gundam

When it comes to shopping for mining stocks, over the last year, I have been quite amused to find that so many investors just absolutely refuse to go hunting for stocks outside of their own home country. For instance, many Canadian investors focus strictly on buying stocks listed and trading on the TSX and TSX Venture Exchange. Ditto for their Australian counterparts who won’t [click to continue…]

For all you goldbugs out there who think your overlords are going to let you effortlessly take out $1,300/oz, you’ve got another thing coming…

 

Same story, different day…

 

No, I’m not going to make it a habit to keep on posting these kind of updates…

Lithium Stocks - REAL Assets Matter!

This is what I despise most about bull markets — when share prices are only going up, everyone gets full of themselves and thinks they are a freekin’ genius. Perhaps nowhere else is this more apparent right now than in the [click to continue…]

Gold and Silver - Same Story, Different Day (May 16, 2016)

by FI Fighter on May 16, 2016

Gold and Silver

Will gold ever break through $1,300/oz? Will silver ever clear $18.00/oz? Since the battle for $1,300 and $18 started, it seems like everytime the precious metals gain momentum, they get slammed right back down, ruthlessly (around this time of day too, I might add, so today’s graph looks just about right to me)…

 

The climb up is so slow and steady, but the fall back down looks like a straight-shot plunge into the abyss (with a subtle dead-cat bounce thrown in for effect)…

 

What do you see from that chart? I know what I see… I see a lot of paper…

 

Oh well, try again tomorrow, I guess…

 

Hang in there precious metals investors!

 

We will have our time in the sun, sooner rather than later, I suspect.

Mining Stocks - How Winners Behave

LH Terminal (9 of 39)

In the last article, I articulated my belief that as investors, we shouldn’t hold onto our loser investments for too long, holding out hopes that they will be able to turnaround a broken thesis. Sure, everyone likes a feel good, underdog story, like Rocky, but reality usually doesn’t work that way… In the real world, usually the winners keep on [click to continue…]

Sell Your Losers and Move On

When it comes to investing, not every decision that we make is always going to work out. That’s mathematically impossible… Sooner or later, we are all going to end up buying an investment that we end up regretting later… Most people say, “Don’t get emotional with investing. Markets move up and down all the time, just deal with it.” Yes, that saying is very true, but it should never [click to continue…]

Lithium - Early Stage Exploration is Most Risky

Dakota Minerals

When it comes to mining stocks, most every investor/speculator out there has had a dream where they strike it rich and hit a grand slam homerun. They say that fear is paralyzing, but the lust for greed can be just as overwhelming (if not even more so). Naturally, our dreams of scoring “multi-baggers” become enhanced when a particular sector is [click to continue…]
