Investors are encouraging Africa-focused Caledonia Mining (TSE:CAL) to expand operations in Zimbabwe, given the new political climate in the southern country.

Following the ousting of president Robert Mugabe, the new Emmerson Mnangagwa administration decided to knock out the rule that established that all mines had to be 51 per cent owned by Zimbabweans. Only diamond and platinum assets must comply with the order now.

Given this new scenario, Caledonia’s head of corporate development Maurice Mason told Reuters that the company has plans to work on mines that had previously been forced to shut because of a lack of investment.

Welcome to edition 409 of Insider Weekends. Insider buying decreased last week with insiders purchasing $14.96 million of stock compared to $36.98 million in the week prior. Selling on the other hand increased with insiders selling $692.06 million of stock last week compared to $562.24 million in the week prior.

Sell/Buy Ratio: The insider Sell/Buy ratio is calculated by dividing the total insider sales in a given week by total insider purchases that week. The adjusted ratio for last week went up to 46.26. In other words, insiders sold more than 46 times as much stock as they purchased. The Sell/Buy ratio this week compares unfavorably with the prior week, when the ratio stood at 15.26.

USD on a tear, 10 yr. almost hit 3%, commodities getting crushed pretty much across the board but silver always gets crushed worse than anything else

I guess the bottom lime is that you can’t hold anything pm for more than a couple days unless you are short

Once all the “to the moon” silver articles came out it was time to sell.

The beat goes on…
