"The ear that listens to life-giving reproof will dwell among the wise. Whoever ignores instruction despises himself, but he who listens to reproof gains intelligence. The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom, and humility comes before honor." Proverbs 15:31-33 "Feedback is the compass that guides us on the journey of growth. Without it, we wander aimlessly in the forest of our own assumptions." This quote resonates deeply with our daily lives. In every endeavor, constructive feedback serves as a vital tool for improvement and evolution. It is not merely about receiving criticism; rather, it's an opportunity to listen, learn, and leap forward into a brighter future. Consider Netflix's story in 2012. When its redesigned user interface faced backlash, Netflix didn't shy away from the critique. Instead, it embraced it, using feedback to recalibrate its approach. This willingness to adapt underscores a powerful truth: feedback is essential for progress. Proverbs 15:31 tells us, "The ear that listens to life-giving reproof will dwell among the wise." Let this be a reminder that seeking and accepting feedback can lead us to wisdom and excellence. Proverbs 19:20 says, "Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future." As we navigate through life, it's important to view feedback as a mirror reflecting our potential. It reveals not just who we are today but highlights who we can become tomorrow. Embracing feedback fosters resilience and growth, empowering us to overcome obstacles and continuously pursue our goals. Remember that “It is people's voices that become our progress.” Each perspective shared is a stepping stone toward our development. In the spirit of encouragement, let us not fear constructive criticism but rather welcome it as a catalyst for our evolution. The raw honesty embedded in feedback can unveil hidden strengths and opportunities for improvement. As we strive for greatness, let us hold onto the belief that every piece of feedback brings us closer to our aspirations. Amen. Proverbs 12:15 says, "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice." Amen. Prayer for the Day! Dear Lord, thank You for the gift of community and the voices that guide us toward growth. Holy Spirit, help us to embrace feedback with open hearts and minds, recognizing its power to shape our journeys. Grant us the wisdom to learn from each critique and the courage to leap forward into new possibilities. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Alex Langer, President and CEO of Sierra Madre Gold And Silver (TSXV: SM) (OTCQX: SMDRF), joins me to review the Q4 and full-year 2024 operations and financial metrics from ramp up production at the La Guitarra Mine and processing plant, in Mexico. We also look a number of future development and exploration value drivers for the Company across their district-scale land package. FY 2024 and Q4 2024 Financial Highlights Net Revenues: After refining, treatment and smelting charges, the Company recorded net revenues of $6.5 million in the six-month period ended December 31, 2024, or approximately $28.35 per silver equivalent ounce ("AgEq ounce"). The Company averaged $30.37 per silver ("Ag") ounce sold and $2,594 per gold ("Au") ounce sold in the six-month period of operations to December 31, 2024. In Q4 2024, Sierra Madre recorded silver revenues totaling approximately $1.9 million ($31.58 per Ag ounce) and gold revenues totaled approximately $2.4 million ($2,667 per Au ounce). Cost of Sales was $5.1 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2024, approximately $22.40 per AgEq ounce sold, representing $20.95 per AgEq ounce sold in Q4 ($2.8 million) and $24.13 per AgEq ounce sold in Q3 ($2.3 million). Gross profit was $1.36 million for FY 2024. Alex then lays out the envisioned plan is to run the mill at 500 tpd most of next year, at the slated commercial production throughput. However, he then also shares the pathway forward where a modest amount of equipment can be purchased and installed to grow the mill throughput to 650 TPD in 2026, and then all the way up to 1,000+ TPD by the end of 2027. In addition to the potential of growth through production, we also discuss the leverage that a silver and gold producer like Sierra Madre will have to the potential of rising metals prices in 2025 and 2026. Next we shift over into the larger growth vision of the company, as it will turn it's it focus to exploring this district scale land package the end of next year, funded through organically generated revenues. The property hosts 8 different past-producing mines, with the first 2 priorities being to explore around the El Rincon and Mina de Agua mines. Additionally, there is a non-compliant 17 million ounce historic resource at the Nazareno Mine, and also solid underground infrastructure at the nearby high-grade Coloso Mine, that First Majestic had put quite a bit of sunk cost into already. Moving the Coloso Mine back into production will be another near-term area of future expansion, which could see supplementary production complimenting the current production coming out of La Guitarra. If you have any questions for Alex regarding Sierra Madre Gold and Silver, then please email them to me at either Shad@kereport.com. In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Sierra Madre Gold & Silver at the time of this recording. Click here to follow along with the latest news from Sierra Madre Gold & Silver

Schlief discusses his lifelong passion for farm toys and the inspiration behind starting the show. He explains that the decline of farm toy shows in smaller North Dakota towns, combined with his son's participation in national shows, led to the idea. He partnered with a friend and his wife, choosing the Alerus Center due to its accessibility for vendors. Their initial plan was to have 50-60 vendor tables. Show Growth and Vendor Collaboration (2:15 - 4:47) Schlief details the show's growth, noting that they aimed for a March date to avoid overlap with other shows and to accommodate their shared vendor base. The first year saw 65 tables, and the show has since grown to around 100 tables, even turning vendors away due to space limitations. He highlights the community support and nostalgia for past local toy shows, emphasizing the show's role in connecting people with a shared hobby. He also mentions the possibility of a future show in Bismarck. Vendor Diversity and Display Highlights (4:48 - 6:20) The discussion shifts to the variety of vendors at the show. Schlief describes the range of merchandise, including farm toys, clothing, literature, and steel signs, and mentions unique vendors like one selling goat milk products. He notes the trading and selling among vendors and attendees, and highlights the display of collections, such as a Big Bud tractor display and handcrafted versatile tractors. Interactive Exhibits and Community Engagement (6:21 - 10:03) Schlief describes unique exhibits, including 3D printers and NDSU's Department of Ag Engineering. He emphasizes the addition of a kids' play area with a corn-filled pool and toys, and a designated space for remote-controlled semi tractors and bulldozers. He discusses the farm toy displays, noting they are not yet judged, and shares tips on creating displays using affordable materials. He highlights the show's Facebook page and the Toy Farmer magazine as resources for hobbyists. Information Sharing and Community Impact (10:03 - 11:18) Schlief explains how information about the hobby is shared, including through their Facebook page, the Toy Farmer magazine, and word-of-mouth. He highlights the show's positive impact on the Grand Forks community, attracting visitors who stay in hotels and eat at local restaurants. He notes the significant increase in vendor bookings, from the initial 65 tables to approximately 120 currently. Future Growth and Audience Diversification (11:20 - 18:00) Looking ahead, Schlief discusses the show's potential for further growth, referencing the large regional show in Sioux Falls. He emphasizes the importance of attracting younger generations to the hobby, highlighting the educational and imaginative aspects of playing with farm toys. He acknowledges the diverse interests of attendees, from casual enthusiasts to serious collectors. He reiterates the goal of creating an entry point for younger individuals to engage with the hobby and continue its legacy. Nostalgia and the Evolving Hobby (18:00 - 20:30) Schlief emphasizes the nostalgic aspect of the farm toy hobby, sharing his own childhood memories of receiving toy combines and the joy of being able to purchase those same toys as an adult. He highlights the hobby's evolution, noting the blend of traditional craftsmanship (like brass and soldering) with modern techniques (such as 3D printing). He expresses admiration for the genuine, down-to-earth people involved in the hobby, which he considers a major draw. Vendor Information and Contact (20:30 - 22:15) Winmill inquires about vendor registration. Schlief directs potential vendors to the "Grand Forks Farm Toy Show" Facebook page and provides the contact information for his partner, Mike Ratty (218-791-5818). He clarifies that there is no charge for displaying farm toy collections, only for vendors selling merchandise. Show Dates, Times, and Attendance Information (22:15 - 23:30) Schlief provides the show's dates and times: Friday, March 28th, from noon to 7 p.m., and Saturday, March 29th, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks. He encourages attendees to check the show's Facebook page for updates and raffle information. Concluding Remarks and Well Wishes (23:30 - 23:58) Winmill thanks Schlief for sharing his passion and information about the show, wishing him a successful event and continued growth.

As the price of gas and LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) becomes a key factor for the value of the world's energy, we have decided to bring in a top gas expert to explain where the market is and how is it going to evolve.Seb Kennedy is a leading market analyst and Founding Editor of Energy Flux (www.EnergyFlux.news), an independent newsletter that analyses global gas and LNG markets through the lens of Europe's energy transition.We review the numerous phases that the market has faced since the beginning of the decade, COVID, post COVID, Russia-Ukraine. We delve into the incredible expansion of US Exports capacity, with 8 terminals now operational and a forecasted growth of another 50% by the end of the decade.We analyse how the market is inherently volatile, which make long term investment difficult but still inside a band. If the LNG gets too high, then consumers will switch; if it gets too low, then some capacity will be shelved. We focus on Qatar, the world's lowest cost producer, which will continue to grow no matter what. Seb anticipates a surplus in the coming years with massive extra capacities coming on the market from USA and Qatar. But the role of Iran and Russia, which hold the largest reserves, remain a huge uncertainty. Europe's attitude towards LNG is a complex web of contradictions, between decarbonisation, security and affordability of supply, and global geopolitics. In conclusion, a strategic source of energy, but difficult to apprehend.

Today, we are breaking down the global luxury group Kering. You know Kering from its brands Gucci, YSL, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, and the list goes on. It's a luxury house similar to LVMH, but LVMH over the past five years is up over 40% and Kering is down over 60%. To break down Kering, I am joined by Jonathan Eng, portfolio manager at Causeway. We cover the owners and operators of Kering, the Pinault family. We also discuss wholesale distribution versus retail distribution and brand margin profiles. But Kering's core brand, Gucci, is different from much of what you see in luxury, and we spent a significant amount of time diving into it. What makes Gucci more cyclical than understated luxury? Where do we stand with Gucci today? And how does Jon think about all of this as an investor tapping into his historical context in the space? Please enjoy this breakdown of Kering.
