This is what 30,000 cases look like : It doesn ’ t bear thinking about , and so it ’ d be much better if you don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because that ’ s the sort of herd immunity to facts that we all need given the context of this , the greatest threat to Britain since George Formby .
I mean , remember : why do you think it ’ s called Covid nineteen ?
And the answer , as we know only too well , is that it ’ s nineteen times more infectious than than Tommy Cooper ’ s laugh , and he ’ s dead .
So let that be a lesson to you .
Now on the subject @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been some silly alarmism about multiple deaths , so I ’ m happy here and now with reservations to confirm that Coronavirus will only kill you once .
Once you ’ re dead , the ordeal is over : it is medically impossible for any disease to kill you twice .
As far as we know .
And finally , the vexed question of masks , and foolish ideas about them being utterly pointless .
First of all , some do ’ s and don ’ ts : This woman has got it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the Covid19 droplet is roughly two inches by one inch in size , the hole she has cut for reasons of pure vanity will be easy for the virus to get through No , wrong again – this is a brassière , and only suitable for patients with two very large noses .

Remember , you don ’ t have to be a miserable beggar just because I ’ m facing the biggest threat to my Commons seat since I was criticised for hiring a private jet to fly back from a climate conference and accepting money from a key backer of climate change denial organisation Global Warming Policy Foundation , and then apologised after retweeting a poem suggesting that the Labour Party was full of Peers , which was as I said at the time a total accident on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ full of queers ” .
So be happy , smile behind your mask , buy that nice policeman a drink next time he ’ s in your local waving a cosh about for your own good , and remember : even if , in order to be free of this deadly global killer , you have to be locked in at home and watch your business go bankrupt , you will have saved millions of healthy people from having to endure two days in bed .

In a Slog coup today, top forecaster and medical guru Manflu Halfcock faces down his 46 million critics in the battle to contain the biggest threat to Britain since Harriet Harman
I’m delighted that Mister Slog has given me this opportunity to point out just how reckless, unpatriotic, murderous and wrong wrong wrong all these Covid denying, tree-hugging, mask-free and Quaker looney anti-vaccination riff-raff all are about this, the biggest threat to Britain since Julius Caesar.
Some of our best-funded brains in academia have made it brutally clear what we’re in for, and it’s clearly not going to be a picnic, and anyway we banned such foolhardy litter-spreading nonsense over a week ago.
Indeed, so successful have Neil Ferguson’s predictions been about swine leaps and cattle carnage over the years, we must all sit up and take notice of this, his latest forecast about how Covid19 will affect Climate Change in the immediate future.
“While self-isolating because I haven’t any friends left, I decided to feed Met Office data to a mad cow last weekend, and the printout I got was startling in the extreme,” Professor Ferguson told me last night, “Once the virus mutates as it gets colder even though it’s not seasonal or anything, we can expect Cornwall to sink unless everyone evacuates it immediately, crazed jellyfish to come ashore in panic, and rats to start biting babies unless I and only I am allowed to go in armed with my penny whistle and lead the toddlers to lockdown safety by walking on water in the general direction of the Isle of Man”.
So there you are, numpties and snowflakes – that’s why Covid19 is the biggest threat to Britain since William the Conqueror.
Now I know you’ll find this hard to believe, but the latest quackery dreamed up by doubting Albert Hall levitators is to say that there’s nothing to fear because the only thing increasing at the moment is cases.
Let me try and outline for you just how delusional these escaped mental patients are.
This (left) is what happened yesterday as a major new spike in cases occurred at Lime Street Station in Liverpool. We here in the Cobblers Committee Shelter under Downing Street have been doing our sums, and the outlook is absolutely terrifying. Can you imagine the devastating effect on the global climate of a planet covered in cases?
Every left-luggage office in Britain will be overhelmed, and our entire rail transport infrastructure will grind to a halt.

This is what 30,000 cases look like:
It doesn’t bear thinking about, and so it’d be much better if you don’t think about it at all, because that’s the sort of herd immunity to facts that we all need given the context of this, the greatest threat to Britain since George Formby.
I mean, remember: why do you think it’s called Covid nineteen? And the answer, as we know only too well, is that it’s nineteen times more infectious than than Tommy Cooper’s laugh, and he’s dead. So let that be a lesson to you.
Now on the subject of death, there’s also been some silly alarmism about multiple deaths, so I’m happy here and now with reservations to confirm that Coronavirus will only kill you once. Once you’re dead, the ordeal is over: it is medically impossible for any disease to kill you twice. As far as we know.
And finally, the vexed question of masks, and foolish ideas about them being utterly pointless. First of all, some do’s and don’ts:
This woman has got it wrong. Even though most experts insist that the Covid19 droplet is roughly two inches by one inch in size, the hole she has cut for reasons of pure vanity will be easy for the virus to get through
No, wrong again – this is a brassière, and only suitable for patients with two very large noses.
Silly, but correct. Unfortunately, the chap shown here moved just as we were taking the shot, as so often happens in the crappy photo-booths we are forced to use these days due to the Covid cuts introduced by that Ravi Shankar bloke or whatever his name is.
Remember, you don’t have to be a miserable beggar just because I’m facing the biggest threat to my Commons seat since I was criticised for hiring a private jet to fly back from a climate conference and accepting money from a key backer of climate change denial organisation Global Warming Policy Foundation, and then apologised after retweeting a poem suggesting that the Labour Party was full of Peers, which was as I said at the time a total accident on account of I meant to say “full of queers”.

WALL STREET JOURNAL EDITORIAL: The FBI’s Bad Intelligence: The bureau relied on a suspected Russian agent for its 2016 wiretaps.
Four years into accusations about Russia-Trump collusion, we finally learn that Russia’s main conduit for disinformation may have been America’s FBI. Vladimir Putin must be howling with laughter.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham on Thursday released newly declassified FBI documents that contain this stunner: The bureau relied on a suspected Russian agent for the information it used to obtain a secret surveillance warrant against former Trump adviser Carter Page.
t was worse than we thought. We’re referring to the FBI’s 2016 investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia, as new documents this week reveal.
While the Democrats and NeverTrumpers were accusing Trump of being Putin’s tool, actually it was the Resistance that was Putin’s tool all along. Plus:
Here’s the kicker: The FBI identified Mr. Danchenko as Mr. Steele’s source in December 2016, when senior bureau officials also became aware of the prior FBI investigation. The FBI’s realization that it was being fed potential Russian disinformation should have put an immediate halt to the Page probe, if not the entire collusion investigation.

U.S. Attorney John Durham first brought the Danchenko information to Attorney General Bill Barr’s attention and said its public release would not interfere with his investigation.
In related news Thursday, the Justice Department disclosed more FBI text messages and notes in the tainted Michael Flynn case. These also reflect horribly on the James Comey-era FBI. Agents (names redacted) express dismay and disdain in the messages for the broader collusion investigation (code-named Crossfire Hurricane) and for the probe of Mr. Flynn.
In October 2016 internal messages, agents refer to the “Crossfire Road Show” and one says: “I’m tell [sic] man, if this thing ever gets FOIA’d, there are going to be some tough questions asked.” Another responds that the problem is “a scope way outside the boundaries of logic,” to which an agent says one team member is engaged in “rabbit holes and conspiracy theories.”

“[W]hat’s the word on how [Obama’s] briefing went?” asks one agent. “Don’t know, but people here are scrambling for info to support certain things and it’s a mad house.” A few days later, an FBI employee reports that they “all went and purchased professional liability insurance” over concerns about DOJ/FBI leaks and that “the new AG might have some questions.”
Justice also released a recent government interview of William Barnett, an FBI official who worked on the Crossfire investigation, and later for Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

The process, he said, was upside down, with investigators treated as a “speed bump” by attorneys who “wanted to be part of something ‘big.’” These “all stars” called the shots, and “there was a lack of letting the evidence lead the investigation.” He closed the interview by saying he believed the Mueller team brought a charge that Mr. Flynn lied to the FBI as another “means to ‘get TRUMP.’”

New York Times Fails at Outlining President Trump’s Taxes Again. Now let’s figure out how DC politicians making $200k/yr are able to become multi-millionaires while holding office.

Once again the New York Times attempts to make an issue out of President Trump ’ s real estate holdings working as a tax shelter and reducing income taxes .
In the article the Times completely obfuscates the way income taxes are strategically offset by depreciation , mortgage interest and the entire reason why real estate ownership is viewed as a business .
John Carney writing for Breitbart gets it : [ … ] So imagine our guy took out an $ 8 million mortgage at five percent , paying $ 2 million cash .
Now he ’ s got @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
He wants to make at least that much so he charges tenants an aggregate of $ 425,000 , which after upkeep comes out to $ 410,000 of net income .
( Remember , if the bank didn ’ t think he could make more in rent than the mortgage payment , it probably wouldn ’ t have lent him the money . )
The interest payment on the loan–let ’ s call it $ 390,000–is deductible from his income , leaving him with $ 20,000 in net income .
He gets to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it , however , because he still gets to apply the $ 370,000 depreciation charge .
He tells the IRS he lost $ 350,000 .
Under our tax code , ordinary business expenses can be deducted in the year they are incurred .
But when a business pays for a long-lasting item expected to produce income–like machinery , vehicles , or an apartment building–it is considered a capital investment .
Instead of getting to write-off the cost all at once , the business is required to write it off over the course of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , this was set at 27.5 years for residential real estate .
( more ) Anyone who has ever operated a business knows that offsetting income is one of the primary reasons to be self-employed .
Additionally , the Times completely skips over the tens-of-millions in payroll taxes paid by the Trump organization and tens-of-millions in property and sales taxes paid by all of the various Trump properties .
In the commercial real estate market it is common sense to offset income tax liabilities with a host of valid annual expenses , long-term @ @ @ @ @ @ @ With over 500 individual business entities within the Trump organization the ability to offset income in one asset with expenses in another is simply good accounting .
Additionally , President Trump donates his $ 400,000 government salary back to the U.S. government .
So to accuse President Trump of only paying $ 750 in income taxes totally ignores all of the other donations and tax payments he makes .
In practical terms no President before Trump has ever had his actual business portfolio so deeply connected to the success of the American economy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American taxpayer a dime to have President Trump in office… .
Now let ’ s figure out how DC politicians making $ 200k/yr are able to become multi-millionaires while holding office .

Under our tax code, ordinary business expenses can be deducted in the year they are incurred.

investmentwatchblog--2020-09-28--HE’S GOT A MILLION OF ‘EM: Gavin Newsom’s Brilliant Plan to Create More Energy Shortages.

California Governor Gavin Newsom had a pretty bad summer .
His state is still in the throes of a coronavirus pandemic , he ’ s had problems with riots and political unrest , and he can ’ t beg , borrow , or steal enough power to keep the lights on .
Fortunately , he has a plan .
Close the beaches to deal with the pandemic , make nice with rioters so they don ’ t totally burn down the cities , and promise the people that he has a plan to deal with the rolling blackouts .
Will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ oil drilling ?
Will he allow drilling on state lands ?
Will he expand hydraulic fracturing ?
Nothing so mundane , I ’ m afraid .
You see , Gavin is allergic to fossil fuels .
To prove it , he ordered that within 15 years , no gasoline-powered cars will be sold within the state .
He is also demanding an end to fracking .
Assuming that residents of California haven ’ t suddenly developed an interest in walking , they are going to have to be driving something .
So Newsom @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get around .
As Forbes ‘ David Blackmon points out , there ’ s only one teensy-weensy problem with that plan .
Think about it this way : Newsom contemplates the elimination of millions of cars that generate their energy through the use of gasoline and diesel in just 15 years .
He proposes to replace them all with EVs or supposedly hydrogen powered cars as their feasibility continues to advance .
The thing is , those millions of new EVs have to have their batteries charged regularly , just as users of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ every few hundred miles .
The energy needed to power the charging stations which charge those batteries must be generated either by hooking them up to the state ’ s power grid , or by hooking them up to a generator , most often one that is powered by either gasoline , diesel or natural gas .

The riots in Louisville are only the latest in a long string of violent , raging mob riots by the criminal Marxist BLM movement , their mostly white “ antifa ” thuggish allies , and assorted looters .
In this case , “ Two police officers have been shot in Louisville , Ky. , amid riots following the announcement of an indictment in the shooting of Breonna Taylor .
Louisville chief of police Robert Schroeder confirmed that the officers were shot and were taken to a local hospital .
Schroeder told reporters that one of the officers was undergoing surgery @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other was alert and stable .
Police have arrested one suspect in the shooting…after a grand jury charged just one of the officers involved in the shooting of Taylor in a botched drug bust .

In Los Angeles , “ National Guard troops arrived in the nation ’ s second-largest city overnight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saw demonstrators clash repeatedly with officers , torch police vehicles and pillage businesses .

We have seen the absurdity of rioters being called “ peaceful protestors ” when videos show cities aflame .
When the police do their duty and counter the violence of the black thugs , they are vilified as racists , indicted , and even shot at and killed .

Here we see again the difference between a private firm impelled to serve the customer-victim of crime and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no such economic compulsion.
” Private law enforcement isn ’ t just a theoretical idea , as we can see from British and American history .

What, then, are we supposed to do? In an interview on the Tucker Carlson Show on September 23, Danny Coulson, a retired deputy assistant director of the FBI, condemned the rioters. But he thought that there was something even worse than the burning and looting, and this was the main reason he condemned them: their actions might lead to “vigilante justice.” People must not take the law into their own hands—that could lead to chaos.

His advice is useless, and it rests on a false premise. How can we support the police when they aren’t protecting us? His advice is like urging us to put out a fire with a hose unattached to a hydrant. The false premise is that vigilante justice is bad. Is it?

In other words, you are a vigilante if you exercise your basic right of self-defense without the permission of the predatory state that supports the rioters and looters. In fact, if people defended and protected themselves, the result would not be chaos, but a far better system than we have now. As the great Murray Rothbard explained, people in a free market society would defend themselves by hiring private protection agencies. The agencies would compete to provide the services customers want, rather than cater to the whim of a mob or promote venality and power seeking, as officials of the state do now. As Murray again and again stressed, the free market is always better at supplying goods and services than the state, and protection and defense are no exceptions.
He explains in For A New Liberty, “Free-market police would not only be efficient, they would have a strong incentive to be courteous and to refrain from brutality against either their clients or their clients’ friends or customers. A private Central Park would be guarded efficiently in order to maximize park revenue, rather than have a prohibitive curfew imposed on innocent—and paying—customers. A free market in police would reward efficient and courteous police protection to customers and penalize any falling off from this standard. No longer would there be the current disjunction between service and payment inherent in all government operations, a disjunction which means that police, like all other government agencies, acquire their revenue, not voluntarily and competitively from consumers, but from the taxpayers coercively. In fact, as government police have become increasingly inefficient, consumers have been turning more and more to private forms of protection. We have already mentioned block or neighborhood protection. There are also private guards, insurance companies, private detectives, and such increasingly sophisticated equipment as safes, locks, and closed-circuit TV and burglar alarms….Every reader of detective fiction knows that private insurance detectives are far more efficient than the police in recovering stolen property.

Here we see again the difference between a private firm impelled to serve the customer-victim of crime and the public police, which is under no such economic compulsion.”
Private law enforcement isn’t just a theoretical idea, as we can see from British and American history. In Britain, “Throughout the period 1674 to 1829 many victims of crime were able to identify and apprehend the culprits before contacting a constable or a justice of the peace to secure their arrest….Londoners continued to help apprehend suspected criminals.

S&P 500 Repeats the Great Depression Pattern
According to The Market Ear, the S&P 500 is now making moves that have already occurred. And it was in 1929, on the eve of the Great Depression, shattered the US economy and stock market for the years to come. We are primarily funded by readers. Please subscribe and donate to support us!
It should be noted that the magnitude of the fall during the Great Depression was much larger than it is now, but the overlap between market movements in two different years looks incredibly similar.
More Fall to Come?
In addition, if the 1929 pattern continues, another fall in the S&P 500 can be expected, which the market is still expecting in 2020. Previously, experts had already assumed that the fall in the S&P 500 could continue if the index repeats its behavior during other corrections.


investmentwatchblog--2020-09-30--Frank Holmes: Keep Calm and Stay Long – This Gold Price Correction Is Normal and Healthy

In the nearly six years since Greg Abbott has been governor of Texas , the Lone Star State has been the number one destination for U.S. businesses looking to relocate .
That includes California businesses .
In 2018 and 2019 , as many as 660 California-based companies pulled their stakes up and moved to greener pastures in Texas , where the cost of doing business is roughly 10 percent below the national average .
Next up is Tesla .
The electric vehicle ( EV ) company is currently in the process of building its fourth factory in the Texas capital @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a young , highly educated population .
A city in Texas may also be named headquarters to TikTok , the popular video-sharing app whose fate is still in limbo after Oracle and Walmart struck a deal to jointly buy the U.S. service from TikTok ’ s Chinese parent company , ByteDance .
This could bring as many as 25,000 high-paying jobs to the Lone Star State , according to President Donald Trump , who favors Texas as the app ’ s HQ .
Gov .
Abbott touched on jobs , the economy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Organization ( YPO ) event I had the pleasure of attending last week just outside San Antonio .
He pointed out that the Texas GDP , at $ 1.9 trillion , is bigger than the economies of Canada , Brazil and Russia .
Abbott also briefly addressed the recent protests across the nation , some of which have unfortunately turned violent .
Texas would always support people ’ s First Amendment right to peacefully protest , he stressed , but the moment a demonstration resorts to rioting and looting , it is no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recently shared with you that the multi-city riots between May and June alone are now estimated to be the costliest civil disorders in U.S. history , costing the insurance industry between $ 1 billion and $ 2 billion in property damage .
This isn ’ t the first time I ’ ve praised our great home state , and it won ’ t be the last .
An article I wrote four years ago on why everyone wants to move to Texas ended up being a huge viral hit on LinkedIn .
Two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ another article I wrote , “ 6 Reason Why Texas Trumps All Other Economies.
” Gold Correction Is Normal and Healthy , Says the DNA of Volatility Gold had its worst week since March , falling some 4.6 percent from the previous Friday , as the U.S. dollar staged a rally against the euro .
The price of bullion closed below $ 1,900 an ounce last Wednesday for the first time since July 23 and is now down about 10 percent from its high of $ 2,075 , putting it in correction territory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ headlines questioning whether this is the end of the gold rally .
Hardly .
As I ’ ve explained many times before , corrections such as this are normal and healthy .
They ’ re a part of gold ’ s DNA of volatility .
During the monster rally of the 2000s that culminated in gold hitting its previous record high of $ 1,900 , there were several significant pullbacks , some of them exceeding 20 percent .
Take a look below .
Gold is now more oversold on the short-term , 10-day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at any other time since the golden cross took place in January 2019 .

In the nearly six years since Greg Abbott has been governor of Texas, the Lone Star State has been the number one destination for U.S. businesses looking to relocate.
That includes California businesses. In 2018 and 2019, as many as 660 California-based companies pulled their stakes up and moved to greener pastures in Texas, where the cost of doing business is roughly 10 percent below the national average.
Next up is Tesla. The electric vehicle (EV) company is currently in the process of building its fourth factory in the Texas capital of Austin, a growing tech hub with a young, highly educated population.
A city in Texas may also be named headquarters to TikTok, the popular video-sharing app whose fate is still in limbo after Oracle and Walmart struck a deal to jointly buy the U.S. service from TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance. This could bring as many as 25,000 high-paying jobs to the Lone Star State, according to President Donald Trump, who favors Texas as the app’s HQ.
Gov. Abbott touched on jobs, the economy and more during a Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO) event I had the pleasure of attending last week just outside San Antonio. He pointed out that the Texas GDP, at $1.9 trillion, is bigger than the economies of Canada, Brazil and Russia.
“We’re bigger than Putin,” the governor quipped, eliciting laughter.
Abbott also briefly addressed the recent protests across the nation, some of which have unfortunately turned violent. Texas would always support people’s First Amendment right to peacefully protest, he stressed, but the moment a demonstration resorts to rioting and looting, it is no longer protected by the Constitution.
I recently shared with you that the multi-city riots between May and June alone are now estimated to be the costliest civil disorders in U.S. history, costing the insurance industry between $1 billion and $2 billion in property damage.
This isn’t the first time I’ve praised our great home state, and it won’t be the last. An article I wrote four years ago on why everyone wants to move to Texas ended up being a huge viral hit on LinkedIn. Two years ago, Gov. Abbott tweeted another article I wrote, “6 Reason Why Texas Trumps All Other Economies.”
Gold Correction Is Normal and Healthy, Says the DNA of Volatility
Gold had its worst week since March, falling some 4.6 percent from the previous Friday, as the U.S. dollar staged a rally against the euro. The price of bullion closed below $1,900 an ounce last Wednesday for the first time since July 23 and is now down about 10 percent from its high of $2,075, putting it in correction territory.
I’ve already seen numerous headlines questioning whether this is the end of the gold rally. Hardly. As I’ve explained many times before, corrections such as this are normal and healthy. They’re a part of gold’s DNA of volatility. During the monster rally of the 2000s that culminated in gold hitting its previous record high of $1,900, there were several significant pullbacks, some of them exceeding 20 percent.
Take a look below. Gold is now more oversold on the short-term, 10-day relative strength index (RSI) than at any other time since the golden cross took place in January 2019. The last time the precious metal was this oversold, in mid-March, gold fell below not just its 50-day moving average but also its 200-day average. We’re not quite there yet—gold is trading below its 50-day but still well above the 200-day—but had you bought the March dip, you would have seen your position increase 40 percent over the next five months.

Looking at a longer-term period, gold doesn’t yet appear to be oversold. The oscillator chart below is based on the daily gold price over a rolling 60-day period, which is equivalent to a three-month quarter. As you can see, gold has recently fallen out of overbought territory and is returning to its five-year mean, or average price. It’s important to remember that for the 60-day period, a move of one standard deviation is equivalent to 10 percent. In other words, the price of gold needs to change by 10 percent to record a move of one standard deviation.

Biggest One-Day Inflows into Gold-Backed ETFs
With real rates still negative (and likely to remain that way for some time longer), and unprecedented money-printing threatening to heat up inflation, I believe it only makes sense to buy the dips at this time.
That’s exactly what many investors did earlier last week. On Monday, when the yellow metal fell nearly 2 percent, investors added 1.2 million ounces to ETFs backed by physical gold. That was the most for a single day in 2020.

Randy Smallwood: Precious Metals in “Golden Times”
Gold and silver are in “golden times” right now, according to Wheaton Precious Metals’ president and CEO Randy Smallwood during an online Denver Gold event last week. The “helicopter money” from governments will continue to be highly supported of prices.
Randy is also optimistic on base metals, saying they are likely to be the bulk of streaming deal opportunities going forward. “It’s good to see money going to the ground in the base-metals space,” he commented.
Wheaton Precious is planning to list on the London Stock Exchange by year end, which will put the $23 billion streaming company on the radar of United Kingdom investors who are seeking to gain equity exposure to precious metals. Wheaton currently trades in Toronto and New York.
I believe this is a well-timed decision on the part of Randy, who was named the new chair of the World Gold Council (WGC) earlier this month. According to Edison Investment Research, precious metal companies listed in London “have tended to outperform their peers, with 52 percent of London-listed companies outperforming the gold price over the period of the worst depredations of the coronavirus so far this year, compared with 39 percent globally.”
Further, Wheaton Precious “will provide premium-quality, geared exposure to precious metals prices and fill a void for investors left by the departure of Randgold Resources in December 2018 after it was acquired by Barrick,” analyst Charles Gibson wrote in a note dated September 22.
As you know, Wheaton is one of our favorite mining stocks. At present it pays out 30 percent of its cash flow in dividends, but this could rise to between 40 percent and 50 percent with higher metal prices, Randy says.
Maverix Metals: A Rising Star in the Streaming Space
Another royalty and streaming company we have our eyes on is Maverix Metals, formed in 2016 after the company acquired a package of assets from Pan American Silver. Last week, Maverix entered into a binding purchase and sale agreement to buy a portfolio of 11 royalties from Newmont, including the Camino Rojo gold and silver project in Mexico.
The transaction, according to a note by Raymond James, “provides Maverix with potential near-term gold equivalent ounce (GEO) and cash flow growth from five development assets in the Americas, while adding longer-term optionality through the six exploration properties.”
Raymond James has given the stock an Outperform rating, with a price target of C$7.50.
We like the stock and, based on our quantamental stock-picking model, have recently added it our portfolio. This replaced Australia-based producer OceanaGold. Maverix’ gross margin overtook OceanaGold’s in 2019 and has only continued to increase, which is why we made the rotation.

Since it began trading in July 2016, Maverix has outperformed OceanaGold and other global gold stocks.

JPMorgan to Pay Record $1 Billion Spoofing Penalty
On a final note, some of you may have heard that JPMorgan & Chase, one of the world’s largest gold and precious metal traders, is set to pay close to $1 billion to resolve market manipulation investigations by U.S. authorities that have been ongoing for months now. The settlement would allow JPMorgan to continue normal operations without being indicted.
Two former JPMorgan traders are being alleged of “spoofing,” or placing false orders with no intent to execute them to trick others into moving prices in a desired direction.
Unfortunately, market manipulation in the global gold market is real, but there are those who are fighting to expose it. If you recall from May of last year, I interviewed Chris Powell, secretary/treasurer at Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA).
We briefly discussed the JPMorgan spoofing scandal, during which Chris shared an interesting thought on John Edmonds, one of the traders: “He was allegedly doing it with the knowledge and counsel of his superiors, and if it were done on behalf of the government, presumably it’s legal under the Gold Reserve Act… [But] I can’t imagine the Justice Department would be prosecuting him if his trading was being conducted on behalf of the U.S. government.”
