Patrick Donnelly, president of our sponsor First Mining Finance, joined us today. He had exciting news, the PEA (Preliminary Economic Assessment) came in on their Springpole project and it's way better than anyone reasonably expected. While the Company's stock has been flat since the rebalancing of the GDX-J ETF, Patrick believes that this has created a great opportunity. He's seeing increased interest from major miners looking to restock and replenish their reserves. And best of all, as we've said in the past, all of First Mining's projects are in stable jurisdictions with first class infrastructure. Is FF's time coming soon? |

What's happening to the country and the world? We see signs all over the place. In the US, it's the NFL vs. Trump. The Spanish are calling up the rear guard before the Catalonian referendum and the Kurds are getting ready to make their move to form a country. Add to that North Korea, Iran and Venezuela and there's your proof, as if you needed any anyway. |

Senior Fellow Seth Cropsey began his career in government at the Defense Department as Assistant to the Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and has been involved with the Navy ever since. The recent series of mishaps isn't due to hacking. Rather, the problem is that American seapower is over-stretched. At the end of the Cold War, the U.S. combat fleet numbered approximately 600 ships. Today we have 276. The requirements that the Navy is asked to fill have been increasing steadily since a few years after the Cold War ended. |
