Alright, libertarians, you wanted drug legalization, right? Well, with opioids, via loose prescriptions, you got it, and what's happened? We are in the middle of the worst epidemic of overdose and addiction this country has ever seen, thousands are dropping like flies, and it appears that things will be getting worse before they get better. Your theories might sound nice when you don't have skin i...Read More

"Go pound dirt." I wanted to laugh, but it really wasn't a laughing matter. Back in September, Volkswagen was looking to ink $60 billion worth of long-term supply contracts with the world's top cobalt miners. That plan blew up right in its face.And the response above was about as gracious as those miners were willing to be. Of course, this rejection puts quite a damper on VW's goal to shift to ele...Read More

Why has the media suddenly done a complete 180?Don’t get me wrong, it is great to hold sexual...Read More

Why are governments so interested in breaking up monopolies? To protect the biggest monopoly of all, the government.The American people are skilled mental gymnasts. They can totally agree that monopolies in the private sector are bad. But monopolies on defense, law enforcement, courts, education, roads, and so on are perfectly fine, even necessary!This comes down to the myth of the process. People...Read More

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."This quote from George Santayana has been stuck in my head for weeks, perhaps months. It's hard to tell at this point.Maybe I'm just getting paranoid in the pre-dawn hours here in Baltimore, or maybe my readers have noticed something peculiar taking place, as if they've seen it before.And you can bet we're doomed to repeat our mistake...Read More
Have you ever tried to go out to dinner with a party of 20? This is a group of people with presumably the same core value: you all want to have dinner with some friends.

Some people might voice support for this...Read More

It's not new, yet very few investors know it exists.Some have even called it the "secret pot stock exchange" because so few investors know about it. But those who do are making a fortune.For instance, take a look at this small Canada-based marijuana company that's listed on this "secret exchange."Now, I've censored the name of this particular stock because it's currently in my Green Chip Stocks po...Read More
From time to time, I’ve been asked by readers about starting up a paid newsletter subscription… Back then, it was probably to discuss Real Estate Investing (REI), but I’m guessing these days, the bulk of the readers who still follow this site want more information on mining stocks…Quite frankly, it’s very flattering everytime I get asked that because deep down I feel...Read More
As you read this, I'll be on a plane to the second-most crime-infested country in the world: Mexico. Don't tell my wife, but in 2016 there were over 23,000 homicides south of the border. According to NPR, in terms of homicides per capita, it ranks behind only Syria.That's a little disconcerting, but I'm going there because it could give you the investment opportunity of the decade. And you need...Read More

As if this year wasn’t already painful enough for many of these stocks, we’ve now got to brace ourselves for yet another potential headwind!As someone who has been i...Read More
Two weeks ago, we talked a bit about Tesla.Okay, I gushed. But we did eventually get down to one of the company's main problems: price.See, Tesla's cars are beautiful, clean, and still just a little too pricey for the average buyer.There's only so much the company can do about that, however.The batteries themselves are the most expensive part of the car, and the whole world has been working on the...Read More
