Rocks And Stocks News Update On The Business Side Of Things
I’ve come to learn from subscribers' feedback that there is a significant group that would like to sponsor my work, but don’t find enough options or ease of use with the process at Substack. For those that would like to sponsor and want more options (such as direct invoicing and e-transfers) you can email me directly at: rocksandstocksnews@gmail.com
Of course, those that currently go through Substack with no issues, or those that would like to use that option, you can use the link below.
Yesterday, I put out my quarterly report reviewing my Outlook 2025 report. I’m confident that few market commentators get the trends as right as I do. But, I would really love to hear from those that disagree or agree with that assessment. If you would like to send me your own grading of the Outlook 2025 report, that would be much appreciated.
One of the topics that I discussed yesterday in the quarterly report (it should be in your inbox) is the importance of public companies in mining embracing digital marketing. I think many are missing a fantastic opportunity to promote metals, their companies and the importance of mining in the global economy.
It can also be a fantastic opportunity to get valuable feedback from investors about how they are perceived and what investors think about their companies valuation, catalysts and marketing efforts. I would also remind folks that I offer consulting services to public companies for news releases, corporate strategy, review of exploration results and planning and digital marketing.
There are three ways that I fund the work I do. One is through sponsorship from subscribers to my reports. Another is through corporate sponsorship and the other is through consulting. I very much appreciate the sponsorship as it makes my work possible and I would like to thank all sponsors as they make my work possible.
Today, I am working on a video report with my top picks including miners, developers and explorers. They offer a great combination of strong value propositions and important catalysts to help unlock growth. I will follow that up with a written report featuring my top picks as I know some like reading my reports and others enjoy the videos.
There are a lot of potential market moving events on the immediate horizon. Elon Musk has announced that he is starting the America Party, which could see fireworks from the left and right. Trump signed the big spending bill on Friday which was a holiday, so it will be interesting to see the Wall Street stocks, US debt market, US dollar and gold reaction on Monday.
Trump is also going to extend his 90-day pause on the tariff tantrum until August 1st, which will remind market participants that this issue is far from over.
Plus, the BRICS nations are having their annual conference. What makes this one different from past ones is that this time around they are dealing with the tariff tantrum. I will be monitoring the conference for big announcements that could be bullish for gold.
As they say, we live in interesting times.
Of course, the big shift that I see happening is that we are in the earliest days of a new metals bull market that will rival, and exceed, the one from 2001 to 2011. Silver, copper, platinum, palladium and other metals are joining the gold bull market which is always a precursor to a metals bull market.
The best way to play that is through the miners, developers and explorers. I have a great group of picks in those various segments of the mining sector that I will be highlighting today and in my upcoming written report.
In a general sense, I still see the mining stocks as needing to do a lot of catching up, just to be inline with the current prices of gold, silver and copper. And they haven’t even started pricing in the much higher prices I see coming this year and well into the future.
All the best,
Allan Barry Laboucan
