“Weekly fuel bills that ran to $13,800-$15,000 before the war are now heading toward $34,000 which amounts to a total value of a fish vessel, leaving no money to pay a crew” — Dutch Fishers Union spokesperson

American Marines are being told to prepare for combat.
“Prepare your family”
Someone sent me this to post.
State of the worlds finances bad news with UBS. I need a weekend break so haven’t watched this, just the first few minutes but sounds interesting. The first chart was interesting when the bank who loaner chart was traced over the chart who got the loan near identical which the stock is in trouble which blocked trading. There’s a sales pitch involved but not mandatory seems more for day or position traders but might be late, this news already out.

Hopefully this war will wake people up on what these net zero dipshits I mean drip sticks is a plan to weaponize lack of energy against them with total control, survaloence, starvation, economic decline and enslavement. That’s not what this war is about but it likely woke the people up with the slow inevitable result they’re planning and what it will lead to while weakening the countries while the Brics are strengthening theirs. ME will eventually side with them and China will be the main beneficiary to their energy needs for financial industrial country while we get the bill and a bunch of greedy financials here looking to replace the economy with machines that don’t buy their products, pay taxes, buy treasuries, or even watch TV or tic toc and further deddollarization and inflation.
Aussies would probably be wise to try to make some deal with them and start up their own energy sources keeping in mind what their currently up to in the Western Ally’s hemisphere and get ahead of it. The US Canada and South of America has enough of their own. This Iran wanting to blow up Israel with a nuke. Are they really or just looking out for themselves against others. If they really wanted to take out Israel, a dessert, all they’d have to do is take out their desalination plants. They were also duped into being radicalized for the military industrial complex it seems.

Thanks for your charts too. Only problem comes to mind is the fat fingered shorts can see them too, but I have a theory. They’ll bring the price down when people are needing to sell and up when they’re needing to buy so timing helps.
Goldie, Australia has more uranium than the next two countries combined.
Fourth in the table for coal.
Thirteenth for natural gas.
Not much oil, but underexplored for coal oil and gas. My farmer mate is sitting on huge coal reserves. Coal seam gas wells on his property. There is absolutely no excuse for the dipsticks gross, criminal really, mismanagement.

Tks v much for the chart view.
ipsofacto re 17.24
I guess death wish sums it up.
What i find scary is these are adults talking like this….in senior roles…..

If it was the same kinda creeps that drowned a bunch of girls in cage for the same thing reason being the creeps wanted to take wives and they refused. The same reason other Muslim countries women even Muslim didn’t want them around so they went to Europe.
But then again not too much different than the so called Christians that burnt mostly women alive accusing them of being witches.
Is it Islamophobic?

(3) Hamas Atrocities on X: “Is it Islamophobic to say that in 2015, in Mosul (Iraq), ISIS burned 19 Yazidi girls alive, in a cage, while hundreds watched, because they refused to accept Islam as their faith?

Travel well and take care.

“pools of oil”
Well that sounds easy to get. I’m surprised it hasn’t been developed before.
“Dipsticks in Canberra” LOL You’re very polite! 🙂

Demand is still in place so who’s been shorting?
- High Delivery Volume: By the First Notice Day in March 2026, more than 10,500 contracts stood for delivery in silver, with demand exceeding 60% of all registered inventory in a single day, a trend putting immense pressure on physical supplies and affecting the broader precious metals market, including gold.
- Gold Market Strength: Gold has seen intense demand, with prices scaling past $5,000/oz in early 2026, driven by persistent buying from central banks and investors seeking a hedge against global economic uncertainty.
- Record Trading Activity: The 1-Ounce Gold contract (1OZ) posted its highest monthly average daily volume (ADV) and average daily open interest (ADOI) since its launch in March 2026.
- Concerns on Supply: The market has experienced extreme volatility due to the imbalance between high paper demand and limited physical supply in the March 2026 cycle.

Sounds like you got reserves everywhere.
Farmers can also make coal too. One of my elders made it and also had a conveyer belt that traveled it to a machine that turned it into powder. Farmers can use it by growing peaches. Profit off both the peaches and the pits turning the pits into coal. Here’s some info.
+5
Making coal (or more accurately, biochar/activated carbon) from peach pits involves heating dried pits in a low-oxygen environment (pyrolysis) to create a highly porous, adsorbent carbon material. Historically, this method was used to create gas mask filters during WWI. It creates a valuable, high-surface-area charcoal suitable for fuel, filtration, or soil amendments.
- Dry the Pits: Thoroughly dry the peach pits, as wet pits will not char properly.
- Pack the Container: Place the pits into a metal container (like an old tin, ammo can, or metal drum) and pack them tightly.
- Seal for Pyrolysis: Put a lid on the container, but ensure it has a small hole to allow moisture and gas to escape while preventing excessive oxygen from entering. This oxygen-free heating is critical, known as pyrolysis.
- Heat the Pits: Place the container into a fire pit, forge, or kiln for at least 4 hours. The goal is to heat them until they turn into charcoal without letting them combust into ash.
- Cool Down: Let the container cool down completely before opening it to avoid the charcoal igniting upon contact with air.
- Alternative Methods: A more advanced method is to use a 55-gallon drum retort to create larger batches of “lump charcoal”.
- Adsorption Activation: For creating highly activated carbon (for filtering), some methods involve treating the charred material with substances like lemon juice to increase pore size.
- Density Matters: Peach pits are ideal because they are very dense, creating a superior adsorbent material compared to lighter wood sources.
ipso, 0.28, it’s funny how things coincide.
When my farmer mate was telling me that things are moderately bad with the fuel, he mentioned that there used to be pools of oil at Moonee, not too far away. Farmers used to filter it put it in their trucks and tractors. He couldn’t remember why they had to stop, but we can guess. And then, an hour later, this pops up in the news feed:
https://www.9news.com.au/national/queensland-oil-reserve/c3952d81-23f7-4770-8eb2-bcc4d1def204
Canberra is our national capital, a swamp like place similar to Washington D.C.. Australia’s problem is that all the oil is on the NW Shelf, the Timor sea, Bass Stait and now the Taroom Trough, but all the dipsticks are in Canberra.
Travelling
I will be travelling & offline for a little more than a week. Should be back around 4/7/26.
Get the PMs back up there while I’m gone, will ya?!
Maddog 17:27
Yea could be considered a bullish hammer or a bullish dragonfly. Should be bullish either way. Ps sorry distracted. I have my own name for it.. long legged dragonfly doji. It might be short term as I made a short term target on one stock adding extra shares to buy sell then buy more on dips during non parabolic times.

Glad to hear it!
