Weekly Weigh In: Contrarian Stock Pick, Spain, Project Vault, Broke Generation, Never Since the Iraq War, FIFA & Mencho’s Books
The sector everybody hates…diamonds. It has received a bad name given the emergence of lab-grown or lab-made diamonds–and Lucara Diamond has been crushed in share price. However…
They’ll be pumping out a huge margin in the next few ideas and likely have capacity to resume their dividend (currently suspended). The Lundin Family Trust indirectly owns 31% of it. Lab grown diamonds have become extremely cheap for B2B and retail but natural diamonds have not!
The key is that the chart below is looking at 3.0c or smaller. Meanwhile Lucara is doing deals like with Louis Vuitton and HB Antwerp to purchase and cut extraordinary, large diamonds such as the 1,758-carat Sewelô and the 549-carat Sethunya. Most of what they sell is 10.8c and higher, though. Keep an eye on this one as a contrarian pick.
Spain is to let in another 500,000 3rd world citizens (all from Africa) in addition to signing an unlimited work visa scheme signed between the Union and India, a large chunk of whom will end up in Spain. Most of Europe simply doesn’t work because it’s more economical to get state support and have cigarettes for breakfast–and yet the planned destruction of Europe and the European peoples is still a go. Spain is especially disastrous with communist Sanchez in charge. Don’t bet on their tourism numbers remaining as high as they were the last couple of years.
If you’re interested in leaving communism anywhere in the Union. Please get in touch for the immigration consultation arm.
Project Vault is live. In line with existing support for critical mineral companies, Trump is now launching a new critical minerals reserve specifically for non-military companies. They even intend for the interest on the loans of funding to go towards the American public (though this hadn’t been explained)–needless to say, they want the American people to become aware simply just how critical, critical minerals are for a functioning economy and modern military.

The largest amount of theft has occurred since relative stability with after the war. This debt simply cannot be paid, nor will it be paid back in absolute terms. It will require further and further inflation and eventually a global monetary reset–I believe as a mix of a debt jubilee and revaluing gold–however it definitely means the generations to come are in for some trouble.

The US is positioning a monster military footprint right on Iran’s doorstep. More than 50 fighter jets, heavy bombers, carrier strike groups and squadrons of tankers. And it’s still growing.
Fifa is Looking At The Following

Cost of Being The Top Narco
It was revealed some of the expenses and earnings of El Mencho’s set up within his most immediate vicinity. Of course this is not the entire operations of the organization, but it does give some insight into the management of the books. Everything is in Mexican pesos (about 18 per US dollar now) and some posts are monthly–others are weekly. The individual names are all nicknames, which is common in Mexico.
