The past week has seen a major reshuffling of the pack in the wake of the Trump victory. But with the alleged $1trn boost to the US economy, especially on the infrastructure front, companies like Zanaga Iron Ore (LON:ZIOC) should come in from the cold. I have to admit that a certain Monday morning feeling…
Far from heralding disaster for the Eurozone, Donald Trump may soon help to replace the melancholic frown on European faces with a happy smile of hope. Here’s why… While the world is still reeling from the Trump win over Clinton last Tuesday, there is a huge amount of information to be digested, analysed and filtered in…
GCM (LON:GCM) has announced a Memorandum of Understanding with some Chinese concern to accelerate its Bangladeshi coal opportunity. This is fine and the shares are up from 13p to 50p+. However a Memorandum is not quite the same as Production. Further, on 29th May 2016 GCM borrowed £3m convertible at 11p per share. Given that…
It would appear that as President Elect Donald Trump did not press the nuclear button / start World War III on Tuesday November 9 2016, gold is something of a sell… Apparently one of the best ways to make money is to have a view, and to stick to it. Unfortunately, this also seems to…

Building a wall? A ban on Muslims entering the US? Mass deportation of illegal immigrants? Anyone assessing some of Donald Trump’s more outlandish policies might appear well justified in coming to the conclusion that the 45th President of the United States is set be an economic disaster. But it would be a mistake for investors…
Rather like the stock market analogy of profits warnings coming in threes, there is the situation where one capitulates on a stock or market just before the great turnaround arrives. This may ring true with copper – and hence miners in this area. The price of copper and the share price of Central Asia Metals…
To prove that Wall Street is an early omen of movements still to come in GNP, commentators quote economic studies alleging that market downturns predicted four out of the last five recessions. That is an understatement. Wall Street indexes predicted nine out of the last five recessions! And its mistakes were beauties. – Paul Samuelson…
Every time the doorbell goes I fear that it is a courier-sped P45 from the chairman. For I it was who urged him to put £100,000 (I do not know whether he took this advice – after all, he may be wise) on Clinton at around 4/9. Worse, I asked three people whom I respect…
