Wouldn't the Fed just dropped rates to near zero?

That would force banks to find a new place for their reserves which are currently getting paid handsomely risk-free.

Into a market that can't afford anything at current prices, with a bond market that is refusing to accept lower to take on American debt.

It would be gasoline on a fire.

I was about to post this but might as well lump it in here. It's piggybacking on my recent discussions that you can't compare where we are now to previous eras like late 90's or 2007. This is proof that the plumbing behind the scenes is doing the complete opposite of what it did then.

I saw a YouTube video the other day suggesting the debasement trade to somw degree will see authoritarian states lean more gold and silver where the free world would lean more crypto. Point being crypto is a freeing agent to the people so brics would lean more gold/silver for example

China has already banned crypto and has been stockpiling gold. Russia has been stockpiling gold since they invaded Ukraine and is souring on crypto since the GENIUS act passed and they realize stablecoins are really just US Treasuries. Indians have always loved gold. So that's really not a new thing.

The unfortunate reality for all of them is that they need USD.

Seems bad for authoritarian regimes if they pick gold and the free world leans more crypto.


Didn't China go against the grain and chose silver when the world was going Gold long ago, and worked out poorly for them

If you sell WWR shares instead of using covered calls you are a twice fool.

Don't give leverage energy to any shorts. Use covered calls out to February or longer to defer taxes and not fight against your own longer positions!

Be smart.

Can you share where you get the $1.72 from? Just looking at historicals, I don't see anything that topped out right at that price so just wanting to learn what you're seeing.


Where I got the $1.72. My program tracks block orders, so it was based on historical data. Pull a chart up with premarket turned on and you'll see an almost perfect flat line just below $1.72. Markets opened it has volume crush come in, breaks exactly $1.72 starting the move to highs.

Could WWR follow the BBAI chart from a few weeks ago? Huge jump, pull back, then more upwards?

Could it? Sure. Anything's possible, but unless you believe that the market is based solely on investor sentiment and behavior, or that certain squiggly chart lines predict future price movement, it's just a coincidence.

You kind of have to keep in mind that this is a crap company, with crap management, with not only zero profit, but also the always-attractive zero revenues. It's a whimsical idea company where they haven't even proven to be able to get a shovel in the dirt, much less to think about being an operating company. It was initially recommended here (table-pounding and all) as an imminent innovative performer about 5+ years ago (because management said so). Do they have some intellectual capital (conceptual methods/processes)? Is it worth anything? I don't know.

I am in this one in a smallish way just for fun (along with other table-pounding losers like GOCO and CLOV), and you should consider it the same. It's not an investment, it's a micro-meme stock without a substantive company attached. I hope we all win, but you gotta strongly consider getting out if/when you have a decent gain.


If you want to claim you know whats going on on, fine, but at least know the facts. Your post is 100% false ane made up..

While their management isnt my favorite, they have done a good job in TOUGH financial conditions that changed on a dime in 2022 to secure funding and keep their eye on the prize. All without diluting thier shares. Everything is in place for it to work out.

The company has 100% offtake agreements for its refined product and will be sourcing raw graphite from non-Chinese sources until they can mine their own. The plant is nearly complete. They own the mine and the next phase is remodeling it and getting it working.

Ya, not even a shovel in the ground..

Nice post Heineken

Percentage of US Treasuries Held by Foreign Investors

As of the latest available data from mid-2025 (June 2025), foreign investors hold approximately 32% of US debt held by the public (DHBP), which represents the total outstanding marketable US Treasury securities. This equates to about $9.1 trillion in foreign-held Treasuries out of roughly $28.5 trillion in total DHBP. This share has remained relatively stable over the past few years but is down from a peak of around 49% in 2011, as domestic holdings (including by the Federal Reserve and US private investors) have grown faster due to increased borrowing and quantitative easing effects. Note that percentages can vary slightly by source and exact date due to valuation changes and reporting methodologies; for instance, earlier 2024 data showed around 30-33%.

Hypothetical Percentage if US Banking System Reserves Were Fully Invested in Treasuries

The US banking system's total reserve balances at the Federal Reserve were approximately $3.0 trillion as of August 2025 (the most recent monthly data available). These reserves are currently held as non-interest-bearing or interest-bearing deposits at the Fed, not as Treasury securities.

If these entire reserves were hypothetically converted into holdings of US Treasuries (assuming no market disruption or change in total outstanding debt), they would represent about 10.5% of the total outstanding marketable US Treasuries ($3.0 trillion / $28.5 trillion).This scenario would significantly increase domestic bank holdings of Treasuries but is purely illustrative, as shifting reserves to Treasuries could affect liquidity, interest rates, and Fed policy tools like interest on reserve balances. Current bank holdings of Treasuries (separate from reserves) are already around 5-7% of DHBP, or $1.5-2.0 trillion.

Forcing money that currently doesn't want to be in US debt, to buy something backed by US debt it doesn't want, while the rest of the world continues to move out of US debt, is nothing more than shuffling deck chairs on the titanic. You would get some short-term gain at the expense of long-term stability of that money. You would also move reserves from a "risk-free" position to a "risk-on" position. There would be no reserves left for the FED to monetize in a time of crisis.

It's pretty much the last gasp type of effort you expect to see from a failing system.

The problem is the debt. You can move money around to try and ignore the underlying issue. But it doesn't change anything. And the risks in the private credit market don't change.

The world is in debt, the US has about 10% of the world debt.

The golden rule of "who owns the gold rules" doesn't work against the might of the US military or the intellectual powerhouse of the US.

A.I. is a game changer and the USA is leading the way.

The future of our fiat isn't terribly rosy. The government and banking powers will do everything possible to keep this fiat system limping along without raising too many eyebrows. We can be certain of that.

It's not the reserves I'm talking about. It's the money in your checking account. And it is global. Most stable coin usage today is outside the US.

Anybody else been on this CLSK ride? I've been swing trading it a few times ever since Heineken brought it to the board way back when. Up 62% since my last entry towards the end of September. Kudos to Heineken and hope some of y'all are on this ride, too!

What would you do.......

with our old friend DNN

I'm sitting on some net free shares. Not a ton. But this was one of my first forays into buying shares and selling CC's. It's been 2-3 years but I got in around 90c and then sold enough around 1.50 that combined with CC's went net free.

Since then I've sold CC's out several months just for pocket change. A while ago when stock was just over $2 I sold 10/17 $2.5 calls on all my shares for 0.20 per call. And now with it looking to finish above there I'm likely to get called out. And that is just fine with me as that's solid profit and I've played it well. On to the next one.

OOOORRRR, do I roll out my call?? I could buy back the Octobers for 0.40 and then roll out to January at $3.5 for 0.25. So I'd be netting a whopping 5c but getting higher price. Or if it drops I hold my shares.

I wouldn't take stock advice from me but since you asked and I'm sitting on net free shares as well...

I'd let them get called out because i think it'll eventually retest the $2.50 area for potential reload. I've also had terrible luck/timing on rolling calls. I'm holding to see if we get a larger move once it gets over $3 then selling calls or selling outright.

Yeah I've been teetering on when I might want to sell. Just when I think I might be close, a day like today pops up and pulls the carrot a little further down the road, lol…..I'm up 60%

I bought OKLO earlier this year. Don't remember exactly when. I'm up 91%. Fortunately I put more $$$ into OKLO than I normally do when investing in an unproven stock.

I've been in and out since Oct last year. don't set your stops too tight. this stock can move up and down $5-10 a day without breaking a trend. I've had a stop at $130 for a little while now. it's been bumping up against a top the last several days and backing off. Well above that now. If it holds up today, i'll move my stop up.

I got a little too exuberant about it. I still have over 2,000 shares. I'm a little more comfortable at that range. I got in at like $5.40 a share so it's all good. I sold the stuff I bought at higher than that for about break even.

Well hold onto it because today broke a trendline on high volume and hit expected resistance around where it is now, but if it pushes up to about 8.80-8.90 there is a good chance it runs almost straight to about 9.75-10.00.

If it ever climbs past 10.50 we may well ride this one to the moon.
