The potential for an intense recession or global financial meltdown increases by the day, and we are living amongst more uncertainty than ever before. How do we make well-informed investments during a time like this, given how unpredictable the economy is? John Jennings, the author of The Uncertainty Solution, tackles this topic in his latest book, and appears in this episode to share his knowledge. Interestingly, he assures us that we should not be preoccupied with predicting the moves of the stock market; nor should we make changes to our investments based on what we think the economy is going to do. Rather, it’s important to acknowledge our uncertainty about the future—drawing upon the financial instability hypothesis—and to make sound decisions in the face of uncertainty.

Today Trillion Energy's (🇺🇸TRLEF — 🇨🇦TCF) CEO Arthur Halleran joined us for a sponsor update and discussed the following key points in Trillion's transition to a major Black Sea natural gas producer:

• How a Mothballed Gas Field Became a Cash Cow 
• Drilling and Production of Wells 
• Disconnect between gas production and share value 
• Expansion Potential for Trillion Energy

Trillion has successfully drilled four wells in Turkey's Black Sea, the process doubling their cash flow. The field is expected to produce natural gas for at least the next 20 years, with plans to drill up to 50 more wells in the future. 

CEO Halleran discussed the potential for Trillion Energy to expand their production and acquire adjoining blocks that will leverage its $600 million existing infrastructure. He also discussed the potential for increased reserves and the possibility of capturing higher gas prices in the future.

I still personally believe that Trillion Energy is the most undervalued play I have seen in my 40 years of investing and have been holding on to my shares.

We received a sponsor update from FPX Nickel’s (🇺🇸FPOCF -- 🇨🇦FPX) CEO Martin Turenne. The company has recently made a number of significant announcements. First, word came of a strategic partner investing C$12 million (name yet to be released). Then the Canadian government contributed C$725,000 to help advance FPX’s development of nickel and cobalt projects. Now, FPX has entered into a Global Generative Exploration Alliance with the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (“JOGMEC”), which is the Japanese Government’s critical mineral agency. These developments affirm and validate the company’s strategy to develop its vast nickel holdings. Finally, Sprott Asset Management has included FPX in its newly minted nickel ETF. It’s the only junior nickel company to hold that distinction.

These developments come on the back of FPX’s successful Baptiste project pilot plant test that achieved high nickel recoveries. It proved that FPX’s vast awaruite nickel mineralization can be economically developed; its new extraction method works.

Upon joining FPX, Martin invested his own capital and kept his compensation low. He spent many days on the road seeking potential investors. The tables have turned. Now nickel users and investors are lining up to offer their support and capital for a share of FPX’s future clean nickel production.

Martin embodies the best attributes of a CEO. He never resorted to excessive dilution, by strictly controlling costs and putting capital to optimal use. Shareholders will profit from his stewardship.

How do you make money in today’s markets? Is there a particular trading methodology or system that you can use to outperform the markets? This episode follows the journey of Anmol Singh through his career as a trader as he recalls what is what like starting out in the markets, and how he got to where he is today.
