    Gem DiCom - Gemstones as a Digital Commodity

    Gordan Kljajic is the co-founder of GEM DiCom - The first digital commodity backed by investment-grade gemstones with a real-time proof of reserve and minimal drawdown.   Why you should listen DiCom, short for Digital Commodity, is the term coined to describe what GEM actually represents. The word “token” has been diluted by years of speculative hype and vaporware, so GEM intentionally steps away from that language. This isn't a marketing promise dressed up in blockchain buzzwords — it's a verifiable claim. Each GEM is backed by a reserve of audited, securely stored, investment-grade gemstones and cash equivalents. That reserve anchors GEM's value in the real world, while making it transparent and tradable on-chain. Unlike stablecoins, GEM isn't pegged to fiat, doesn't fix its price, and doesn't grant redemption rights. Its market price floats freely, shaped by supply and demand. But beneath that floating price is a solid foundation: independently appraised, tangible assets that provide a real floor. Each GEM exists only because there's a corresponding value behind it, continuously visible through real-time proof of reserves. It behaves like a traditional commodity — its price can fluctuate, but the intrinsic backing gives it substance, similar to gold or oil. Calling GEM a Digital Commodity isn't just semantics. It's a deliberate legal and structural choice. By positioning GEM as a commodity rather than a security or stablecoin, it avoids the regulatory straightjacket that binds many financial instruments and fiat-linked tokens. This opens the door to a freer, more flexible model — while simultaneously offering exposure to an asset class that's rare, historically uncorrelated to mainstream markets, and inherently resistant to inflation. GEM bridges the gap between the physical and digital worlds. It lets anyone store value in one of humanity's oldest and most enduring forms of wealth — gemstones — without needing vaults, specialized knowledge, or accepting illiquidity. It's preservation meets participation: timeless assets, brought natively into the digital realm. That is the essence of DiCom. That is what GEM stands for.

The copper placement we did in July with Rick Rule and Jeff Phillips is already up 200% (with warrants to buy more). The uranium development deal we did last month is up 345% (with warrants to buy more). This week, we'll help finance a brand new gold development and exploration company that has a head-start thanks to an existing high-grade gold resource at its flagship property in the Yukon. We are participating in the IPO round this week. Learn more about Private Placement Intel here: https://bit.ly/4876ZAVThe free version of the 335th episode of Investing in Bizarro World is now published.Here's what was covered:Macro Musings - Gold and silver keep breaking higher. Silver blew through $45 and is setting up for a run to $48 and new all-time highs. Gold pushed past $3,750 and looks ready to challenge $3,800 on the way to $4,000–$5,000. Both metals have tailwinds from Fed rate cuts, strong economic growth, and continued central bank buying. Meanwhile, the dollar is firming and bond yields are ticking higher. That points to rising risks—including black swan military chatter out of Washington—but gold and silver don't seem to care.Market Takes - Copper grabbed headlines after a tragic accident at Freeport's Grasberg mine cut production. That mine represents about 3% of global output, and the disruption could tip this year's market into deficit. Copper prices jumped, and Ivanhoe Mines has already rallied 25% since July as investors repositioned into names with growth ahead. Craig Perry of Vizsla Copper has even argued that $30–$35 copper is possible down the line. Nick and Gerardo don't need that to make money — $7–$8 copper in the next year is more than enough. Lithium Americas soared 125% this week after the Trump administration said it may take a 10% stake in the company's Nevada project. That followed a $2.3 billion government loan under Biden and highlights a trend of resource nationalism across lithium, antimony, rare earths, and more. Uranium also broke out, hitting $82 per pound. The URA ETF is up 50% in just six weeks. Major producers like Cameco and Kazatomprom have guided down, while U.S. policy is moving to expand the strategic uranium reserve. Small explorers are doubling with little news as utilities prepare to contract supply.Bizarro Banter - Politics again proved bizarre. Trump's subsidies to farmers were called what they are—welfare—despite the loud denials of those who voted for him. His second term is shaping up much like his first: weaker dollar, more debt, more war, and broken promises. Meanwhile, the Epstein scandal continues without closure for victims, even as culture-war distractions dominate headlines. Gerardo and Nick reminded listeners to keep pressure on real issues of accountability.Premium Portfolio Picks - For paid listeners only.

    Wall St closed higher on Tuesday as investors overlooked government shutdown fears to post an unusually strong month of September. The Dow Jones rose 0.18% to close at a fresh record high while the Nasdaq added 0.31% and the S&P500 ended the day up 0.41%.With a potential government shutdown looming, investors have been wary about a slowing labour market, the risk of stagflation and elevated stock valuation, so although government shutdowns aren't usually market-moving events, this time we could see market movements as a result. In Europe overnight, markets closed higher led by Germany's DAX rising 0.57%, while the STOXX 600 gained 0.5%, the French CAC climbed 0.19% and, in the UK, the FTSE100 ended the day up 0.54%. Across the Asia markets on Tuesday, markets traded mixed as the latest data out of China showed manufacturing activity contracted for a 6th straight month, with the manufacturing PMI index coming in at 49.8 points. While still in contraction mode, the reading was better than economists were expecting and the strongest reading since March. Japan's Nikkei fell 0.25%, and South Korea's Kospi index lost 0.19%, while China's CSI index gained 0.45%, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.95%.The local market closed 0.2% lower on Tuesday following a lacklustre session on Wall St on Monday and investors digested comments out of RBA Governor Michele Bullock after Australia's central bank maintained the current cash rate at 3.6% for the next period. Materials and industrials stocks bucked the trend yesterday to close higher while energy stocks were the hardest hit amid declining oil prices.Ms Bullock said market services inflation remains sticky and has been a key sticking point for the RBA's rate journey over the last year adding to the difficult decisions made around Australia's rate outlook pathway. For this reason, the RBA was content in holding the cash rate at the conclusion of yesterday's meeting for the period ahead.Seven West Media (ASX:SWM) and Southern Cross Media (ASX:SXL) shares rose over 7% and over 6% respectively yesterday on news of a proposed merger between the Australian media giants, while Restaurant Brands New Zealand soared almost 60% after receiving a takeover offer from its majority shareholder, Finaccess Restauracion, a Mexican company.What to watch today:On the commodities front this morning, oil is trading 1.5% lower at US$62.51/barrel, gold is up 0.33% at yet another record US$3845.83/ounce and iron ore is trading 0.09% lower at US$105.35/tonne.The Aussie dollar has further strengthened against the greenback overnight to buy 66.16 US cents, 97.82 Japanese Yen, 49.17 British Pence and 1 New Zealand dollar and 14 cents.Ahead of the midweek trading session the SPI futures are anticipating the ASX will open the day down 0.12%. Trading ideas:Bell Potter has increased the 12-month price target on Pantoro (ASX:PNR) from $2.15 to $2.80 and maintain a hold rating on the diversified mining services group as shares have climbed 130% in one year but some key catalysts and tailwinds including the gold price and new contract wins, are driving a strong growth outlook for the company which led the analyst to increase the 12-month PT and maintain a hold.And Trading Central has identified a bearish signal on Infratil (ASX:IFT) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 54-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may fall from the close of $10.73 to the range of $9.40 to $9.70 according to standard principles of technical analysis.

    We challenge contemporary perceptions of Yemen as a "backwater" by revealing the pivotal role of its port city, Mocha, in the making of our modern world. Historian Nancy Um delves into the fascinating history of coffee, from its origins in 15th-century Yemen to its global spread and the economic transformations it spurred. She explores the rich maritime trade routes of the Indian Ocean, highlighting Yemen's centrality as a crossroads for goods, ideas, and people long before European influence. Um discusses the Ottoman Empire's cultivation of coffee in Yemen, the rise and decline of Mocha as a trade hub, and the unique cultural adaptations of coffee consumption within Yemen itself, such as the popular Qishr drink. We also touch upon the broader impact of hot beverages and porcelain on global social and consumption patterns, revealing how these everyday items were once revolutionary technologies. Um shares insights into the ongoing efforts to revive Yemen's coffee industry and offers recommendations for further reading on Yemen's vibrant history. 0:00 Mocha: A Bustling 17th-18th Century Trade Center0:50 Yemen's Monopoly on Coffee2:46 Nancy Um's Interest in Maritime Trade and Yemen3:40 Yemen's Historical Significance Beyond Recent Decades5:51 What Made Mocha a Prime Trade Hub?7:58 Mocha's Rival: Aden8:11 The History of Coffee as a Drink10:01 Debunking Coffee Origin Myths: The Story of Kaldi and the Goats12:20 Coffee as a Hot Brewed Beverage from Yemen12:32 The Evolution of Coffee as a Commodity and Social Habit13:21 Early Suspicion and Prohibitions Against Coffee14:41 The Global Journey of the Coffee Plant15:57 The Dutch and Coffee Cultivation in Java17:22 Yemen's Shifting Coffee Fortunes18:14 The Ottomans and Yemen's Coffee Cultivation19:06 Ottoman Control of the Red Sea Trade20:37 Diversification of Trade Beyond Coffee21:37 European Influence on Mocha's Popularity22:21 Qishr: Yemen's Unique Coffee Husk Drink (aka Cascara)24:19 Efforts to Rebuild Yemen's Coffee Industry26:01 The Red Sea Trade Route's Enduring Importance29:02 The Indian Ocean: A Space of Exchange and Imagination30:51 Reconsidering Land-Based vs. Water-Based Cultural Identities33:20 Nationalizing Watery Metaphors and Icons35:10 Historical Naming Conventions and Cultural Continuities37:39 Coffee, Tea, and Chocolate: Technologies Reshaping Society40:30 The Coffee House and the Enlightenment42:07 The Decline of Mocha as an Economic Hub43:10 Beneficiaries of Mocha's Decline44:58 Challenge of Contradictory Stories in Historical Narratives47:20 Disproving Coffee Plant Smuggling Myths50:27 Misunderstandings About Yemen's History51:34 Book Recommendations on Yemen53:56 Access to Local Historical Documents in Yemen Nancy Um is Associate Director for Research and Knowledge Creation at the Getty Research Institute.

In this episode, Mark is joined by Ken Pennington, director of alternative investments and manager research at Schwab, to unpack what they are, how they work, and the key differences that set them apart from traditional stocks and bonds. He and Mark also discuss why investors consider alternatives and where they might fit in broader investment strategies.Financial Decoder is an original podcast from Charles Schwab.

This should not be considered an individualized recommendation or personalized investment advice. The investment strategies mentioned are not suitable for everyone. Each investor needs to review an investment strategy for his or her own particular situation before making any investment decisions.Investing involves risk, including loss of principal.Investing in alternative investments is speculative, not suitable for all clients, and generally intended for experienced and sophisticated investors who are willing and able to bear the high economic risks of the investment. Investors should obtain and carefully read the related prospectus or offering memorandum, which will contain the information needed to help evaluate the potential investment and provide important disclosures regarding risks, fees and expenses.Alternative investments, including hedge funds and funds that invest in alternative investments, often employ leveraging and other speculative practices that increase an investor's risk of loss to include complete loss of investment, often charge high fees, and can be highly illiquid and volatile. Alternative investments may lack diversification, involve complex tax structures and have delays in reporting important tax information. Alternative investments that are closed end funds registered under 1933 or 1940 act would be subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds. Other registered and unregistered funds are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds.Alternative investments, including funds that invest in alternative investments, are risky and may not be suitable for all investors. Alternative investments often employ leveraging and other speculative practices that increase an investor's risk of loss to include complete loss of investment, often charge high fees, and can be highly illiquid and volatile. Alternative investments may lack diversification, involve complex tax structures and have delays in reporting important tax information. Registered and unregistered alternative investments are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds.Alternative investments are speculative and involve a high degree of risk. Investors may lose all or a substantial portion of their investment. Alternative investments cover a wide array of strategies, including real estate, private equity, private credit, and hedge funds. Risks will vary based on each unique strategy and can include investments in highly illiquid assets or securities, use of leverage, higher fees, lower transparency, tax risks, and limited ability to redeem or limited transferability.Alternative investments may have limited or no liquidity, redemptions or repurchases may not be permitted and no public market may exist to make full or partial liquidations. An investor's capital may potentially be locked for seven or more years. Certain strategies can involve the use of leverage which can enhance returns but also increase losses. Alternative investments are valued less frequently, may be speculative in nature, and may not conform to any particular valuation standard. As a result, advisory fees associated with alternative investments will reflect these valuations compared to more readily available valuations on publicly traded securities.Many alternative investments are exempt from registration requirements that apply to public securities. As a result, alternative investments may have greater investment flexibility but are less transparent given they do not have to adhere to the typical disclosure requirements of public market investments. Alternative investments often carry higher fees and more complex expense structures than traditional asset classes. These fees and expenses lower investment returns.All expressions of opinion are subject to change without notice in reaction to shifting market, economic or political conditions.​Past performance is no guarantee of future results.​Fixed income securities are subject to increased loss of principal during periods of rising interest rates. Fixed income investments are subject to various other risks including changes in credit quality, market valuations, liquidity, prepayments, early redemption, corporate events, tax ramifications, and other factors.

Darrell provides his monthly update on market positioning, trading flows, and price trends across precious metals, base metals, and energy. Discussion highlights: Precious metals surge: Gold pushes toward $4,000 while silver breaks above $47, with broader investor flows extending beyond central banks. Copper strength: A steady climb toward $5/lb, boosted by the Freeport Grasberg disruption and tight long-term supply fundamentals. Sector rotation: Silver equities rally sharply, showing heightened volatility compared to gold. Energy weakness: Oil remains stuck in a range with bearish fundamentals; natural gas looks fairly valued heading into winter with ample storage. Big picture: Metals are pulling commodity indices higher even as energy drags, underscoring the sector's shifting drivers.   Stocks mentioned (symbols): Freeport-McMoRan ($FCX)   ------------- For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks: The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/ Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

    Stijn Schmitz welcomes Jeff Phillips to the show. Jeff Phillips is Private Investor & President, Global Market Development. Phillips discusses his extensive experience in the natural resource market, having witnessed three bull markets over his 30-year career. He believes the current market may be entering a significant commodity super cycle driven by multiple factors, including currency devaluation, under-investment in resource exploration, and geopolitical shifts toward securing strategic mineral supplies. Phillips emphasizes two critical criteria when investing in junior mining companies: structure and people. He looks for companies where management owns a significant portion of shares and has a proven track record of success. The ideal investment, in his view, involves well-structured companies with experienced leadership who have previously built or sold successful ventures. His investment strategy focuses on commodities like gold, silver, copper, uranium, and rare earth elements. Phillips is particularly interested in jurisdictions like North America and parts of South America, avoiding regions with high political risk. He sees emerging trends of tech companies and governments increasingly investing in mineral supply chains, which he believes will drive the resource super cycle. Phillips cautions that the junior mining sector is extremely high-risk and not suitable for most investors. He recommends a disciplined approach, including maintaining a focused portfolio of 8-14 carefully selected positions and seeking advice from experienced professionals. His investment philosophy centers on finding companies with potential to develop tier-one assets and create meaningful value. The interview highlights Phillips' belief that successful speculation in the junior mining space requires understanding company structure, management quality, and geological potential. He advises investors to conduct thorough research, seek expert guidance, and remember the industry adage: "The best way to make a small fortune in the junior mining sector is to start with a large fortune."

    Redefining Energy
    196. Are SAF and Marine Green Fuels worth the Carbon Reductions? - Sept25

    Redefining Energy

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 22, 2025 30:23 Transcription Available


    Aviation and marine transport together account for approximately 15% of global oil consumption—a substantial share driven by sectors that are among the hardest to decarbonize. Unlike road transport or power generation, these industries face unique constraints: the high energy density required, long operating ranges, and the limitations of onboard storage mean that electrification or hydrogen solutions remain technologically and economically unfeasible in the near to medium term.In response, policymakers and industry leaders are increasingly focusing on low-carbon liquid fuels as transitional solutions. Chief among these are Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA), both of which can be used in existing infrastructure and engines with minimal modification. These fuels can be of biological origin—typically derived from waste oils, agricultural residues, or purpose-grown feedstocks—or synthetic origin, such as Power-to-Liquid (PtL) fuels produced via electrolysis and CO₂ capture.Globally, significant efforts are underway to scale up these alternatives. The European Union, for instance, has introduced blending mandates through the ReFuelEU Aviation and FuelEU Maritime regulations, requiring a gradual increase in the share of SAF or other renewable fuels used in transport. These policies are supported by a range of subsidies, research programs, and emissions trading mechanisms (e.g., EU ETS inclusion for aviation and shipping), all designed to stimulate supply and demand for cleaner fuels.To help unpack the complex interplay of technical, economic, and regulatory challenges, we invited Callum McPherson, Chair of its Sustainable Business Forum and Head of Commodities at Investec, a London-based investment bank. With a mandate to structure and trade a wide array of fuels, Callum provides real-world insight into how these markets are evolving—and the limitations that remain.Some of the key topics Laurent and Gerard explored with Callum included: Which green fuels have realistic pathways to scale, and which are unlikely to work due to poor energy return on investment, unsustainable feedstocks, or prohibitively high costs? How will regional mandates, particularly those in the EU, impact global markets—and will they be enforceable in practice? What role will synthetic fuels play, given their dependence on clean electricity, high capital costs, and still-immature supply chains?What emerges is a highly nuanced picture. Despite the political momentum and technological progress, the fundamental economics remain challenging. Current estimates suggest that the cost of abating one tonne of CO₂ in these sectors can easily exceed €1,000 requiring considerable public support, whether stick or carrot.High costs and regulatory uncertainties are probably some of the reasons why Shell has decided not to complete the construction of a SAF refinery in Rotterdam.Laurent and Gerard conclude that while green fuels are a necessary part of the decarbonization toolkit, they are far from a silver bullet. The financial and ecological trade-offs are significant, and at current cost trajectories, these fuels will make only a marginal dent in overall emissions curves—at least in the near term.  Finally, an excellent book on the general topic of biofuels by Michael Grunwald:  "We Are Eating the Earth: The Race to Fix Our Food System and Save Our Climate."“The views and opinions expressed by Callum Macpherson are his own and are provided for information purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice, recommendation, or an offer to buy or sell any financial products or commodities.
