We’ll find out when Chairman Powell steps up to the mic. Talk of tapering its $120 billion-a-month […]

A Highballer roundup – Forum (FMC.V), Defense (DEFN.V), Harfang (HAR.V), Highgold (HIGH.V), Skeena (SKE.T) and Pure Gold (PGM.V)
The launch of Highballer back in early 2020 sprung from the belief that we’re in the early stages of a bull market in precious metals, base metals, battery metals, and all things mining—a bull run that will prove epic in scale.

Gold gets slammed, bargains emerge – HighGold (HIGH.V), Forum (FMC.V), Strategic (SMD.V), Kuya (KUYA.C), Nomad (NSR.T), and Skeena (SKE.T)

If $1,800 doesn’t hold (that’s where the 200 SMA is at), $1,750 might be in the cards. Of course, this sudden price weakness might be a big-ass Bear Trap. If so, the metal should […]
