To an outsider looking in you could be excused for believing that ARV and DEG weren't joined at the hip.
Both finished @.13 c and both were up 8.33% at the close.
Glad you too detect a slight change in sentiment C.cat
Might the stand off in US China relations be the catalyst for an upward trending GP.
And if so the question is what sort of legs will it have.
Not sure that Trump yet appreciates that EVERY country in the world wishes to look after their exporters and importers alike but unlike him not to the exclusion of others .
US agriculture has long been the classic example .
New Zealand dairy farmers were left to survive on their own way back in 1984 when all government subsidies were dropped .
While we received payments of $3.50 per kg of milksolids from actual market returns US dairy farmers were receiving more than $20 for their equivalent kilogram ,propped up by massive government subsidies.
Is that his vision ,to return to a system which uses tax payer money to prop up an inefficient sector which should otherwise be able to survive ,like us ,without any such handouts.
Is that what it means to him to make America great again ,no matter the cost. .
The US have long had a cheap labor force from south of the border but the President now clearly thinks he has enough .
Warren Buffet has long considered that 17% of GDP is way too much to spend on Healthcare .
But 17 cents out of every dollar is high when you consider that other western economies average just 10%.
It will be interesting to see what transpires but it seems to me that much of the progression previously made in trade has been undone by little more than a tyrant .
The most alarming thing of all perhaps is that he is not related to Pocahontas or any Latino but instead carries the same bloodlines as some of the worst tyrants of the 20th Century being of German descent.
History has proven that some were dangerously deluded.
Still if Julian Castro should receive the Democratic nomination for President in the 2020 race for the White House and go on to succeed, Donald may yet be trumped by a man with a Mexican grandmother.
His twin brother Joaquin sits on the Intel committee and at present is rounding up Trump aides and legal eagles who have supposedly perjured themselves through the 2016 election .
The timing simply couldn't be better .
For the record I personally have no animosity toward Trump ,'
I think he is the only US President who could have eased the tensions between the US and North Korea and therefore was the right President for the time.
Kim Jong Un admires him BECAUSE he stands up to everybody else.
Likewise when Barack Obama was elected it was time for the US to show the world that race was no hindrance to getting the top job.
And the US regained some much needed credibility as a result.
My hope here is that we get that once in a lifetime runaway gold price which will lift all mining stocks and set a veritable fire under every juniors share price.
The stage is set and the timing couldn't be better.
The last few sessions are showing a hint of promise and the fortunes of many juniors are dependent on it
Gee Tesio! After reading your encouraging post about gold taking off, I'm torn between optimism for DEG and my juniors and wishing it was KLA I'd backed at the moment. We need some bright news!
