The KE Report
Dave Erfle – Gold And Silver Stocks Rebounding Some This Week, But Valuations Still Have A Lot Of Room To Catch Up To Record Precious Metals Prices

The KE Report

In this Daily Editorial, we welcome back Dave Erfle, Founder and Editor of The Junior Miner Junky, for his technical and fundamental outlook on the gold and silver prices up near record levels, and then the recent rebound in the precious metals stocks.  While the PM stocks have done quite well this year, they've still not come close to factoring in the huge economic implications of these higher underlying metals prices into their current valuations.    Key takeaways from Dave in this interview:   Gold and Silver Price Strength Continues – With gold up near $4,200 and silver up in the $52-$53 area, after having hit $54 again earlier this week, it is now trying to make $50 the floor instead of a 45-year ceiling.   Miners' Rebound After A 2-Week Correction – GDX and GDXJ have clawed their way higher since the end of last week, but they've not performed as well as some of the quality junior mining stocks have on a percentage basis in this recent recovery.   Chart and Cycle Patterns – After gold hit $3,500 in April, it consolidated for 5 months before resuming its uptrend. When gold recently hit an all-time high near $4,400 in October, it only waited a couple weeks before resuming its uptrend.  This may bode well for this correction not being as drawn out in time.  Dave would prefer to see the PM sector correct in time versus price, in more of a sideways consolidation to build the strength for the next move higher.   Company Valuations Are Still Cheap In Relation To Current Metals Prices – We are now half way through Q4 at substantially higher metals prices than in Q3, and yet the market caps and gains in the stocks have not even come close to reflecting the higher gold and silver producer margins, nor the improved economics of development-stage projects.   Merger and Acquisition Transactions Continue – After IAMGOLD's (IMG.TO) recent twin acquisitions, and Coeur Mining's (CDE) takeover of New Gold (NGD), we've also seen news that Probe Gold (TSX: PRB) (OTCQB: PROBF) is being acquired by Fresnillo Plc. (FRES.L) (FNLPF).   Dave highlights why he feels that the takeover premium for Probe is on the low side at US$56 per ounce of gold in the ground, and that he and his subscribers are waiting to see if Probe gets a counter-offer from a larger producer like Agnico Eagle or Kinross Gold.  He goes on to highlight why a higher valued takeover offer would be good for the whole sector; with regards to what quality ounces in the ground in a top tier jurisdiction are being valued at.   Silver Tiger's Receipt Of A New Open-Pit Permit A Boon To Mexican PM Stocks - We discuss how in addition to the nice pop we saw in Silver Tiger Metals Inc. (TSXV:SLVR)(OTCQX:SLVTF) after receipt of their open-pit mining permit at El Tigre, that other Mexican companies like GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF) and Discovery Silver Corp. (TSX: DSV) (OTCQX: DSVSF) also moved higher in reaction to this permitting milestone achieved.     Click here to visit the Junior Miner Junky website to learn more about Dave's investment letter.    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.

Allen Hall, Joel Saxon, Phil Totaro, and Rosemary Barnes.  Allen Hall: Welcome back to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. I'm your host, Allen Hall in the queen city of Charlotte, North Carolina. I have Rosemary Barnes in Australia who has, uh, been doing a little bit of travel. Joel is back in Austin, Texas. Man, I feel like everybody's been traveling a lot and so is Yolanda. The Yolanda has been on the road quite a bit and we have a really interesting week in wind energy. Particularly over in Denmark and Norway, and if you've been following the news there, uh, as we all know, Ecuador had a pretty big investment into Sted several months ago where they put in about two and a half [00:01:00] billion dollars to buy 10% of Sted to help write the ship a little bit, and then. A c basically last month, right Joel? It was about last month where they, they spent about a billion dollars for the right rights issue, uh, to keep that stock moving, right, and or, and need more cash. And that's how they raised it. That's a total investment, about three and a half billion dollars. That's a lot of money for anybody to be spending at this moment, and Ecuador is thinking this is a pretty good bet. That's great and they wanna work closer with Ted. And the talk is that Ecuador wants a boar seat with Ted Joel. Is there any chance that is going to happen?  Joel Saxum: Well, it was, it's interesting that they brought that up as well, right? Because the initial buy-in, you know, back I think six, nine months ago or whatever it was, they specifically said in their press release, we are not trying to get a board seat. We don't want to have [00:02:00] control over this, yada, yada, yada. But then when the rights issue came out, and I think it was the, the TED stock dropped like 30% or something that day. Um, they threw more cash in, they got a little bit more power. But it's like anything, right? Once, once you've got, uh, quite a bit of money invested and you have a, have pretty heavy percentage of us of whatever that investment may be, it can be. Half ownership in a car, I don't care. You want to have a little bit more say about what happens with your money and what the results can be based on strategic decisions. And if you've, you know, been watching Ted's decisions. Now they've been at the, the whim of government policies and stuff for the last few years, but they've also mistepped a little bit on a couple of them. Uh, so you can see EOR wanting to get in there to protect their investment a little bit. The, in the funny thing to me here, and, um, Rosie, you spent a ton of time up in Denmark, is the, the, the back and forth between the Norwegians and the Danes about, oh, you're, you're just our [00:03:00] little brother.

Chinese Rocket Failure: Galactic Energy's Ceres 1 rocket faced a setback with its second-ever launch failure, as the upper stage shut down prematurely, resulting in the loss of three satellites. The company is investigating the cause while maintaining a respectable success rate of over 90% across 22 missions.Black Hole Mystery Solved: Astronomers have unraveled the enigma of an "impossible" black hole merger that produced a black hole within the upper stellar mass gap. New simulations incorporating magnetic fields revealed that material was ejected before the merger, allowing the resulting black hole to fit into this previously unexplained range.Rocket Lab's Neutron Delay: Rocket Lab has postponed the first launch of its Neutron rocket to 2026 to ensure a successful debut. The decision reflects a commitment to thorough testing over adhering to an aggressive schedule, emphasizing the importance of a reliable first flight for their next-generation reusable rocket.Filming in Space: The upcoming romantic comedy "I See You" aims to be the first western film to shoot scenes in low Earth orbit, with former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly advising the project. This ambitious endeavor follows the Russian film "The Challenge," which was the first feature film with scenes shot in space.Asteroid Monitoring: NASA is tracking asteroid 2024 YR4, which poses no threat to Earth but has a small chance of impacting the Moon in 2032. This potential impact presents a unique opportunity for scientific observation, allowing researchers to study lunar surface composition and the physics of high-velocity impacts.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

The moment that stayed with him began at a marketplace where sales dashboards showed 40% gross margin—yet finance closed the books at 20%, Boon tells us. The gap, he discovered, lived in the shadows: rebates, discounts, and “free” services that never touched operational metrics. He manually traced economics to the client level and found margins many considered healthy were thin—or nonexistent. One customer representing roughly 30% of revenue delivered 0% gross margin, Boon tells us.That scene explains his broader path. He started in London investment banking “working on deals 24/7,” then spent five years at McKinsey across Europe on corporate finance and strategy. At Zalando he founded Strategic Finance to ready the company for IPO—tightening the P&L and working capital. Hypergrowth taught him that unchecked hiring breeds overlap and data drift, so ownership and reporting must evolve with scale, Boon tells us.He gravitates to complexity. At his current company—public since 2021 and combined with a U.S. competitor bought for “about a billion USD”—systems sprawl and legacy platforms made accuracy difficult while two-thirds of revenue came from the U.S., across 130 countries with people in 14, Boon tells us. He cut legal entities from 28 to 14, moved to one ERP, and shortened the monthly close from “15 days” to “five or six days,” Boon tells us. Two efficiency programs, a 120 million refinancing, and a rights issue 60% oversubscribed rebuilt credibility.Back at the marketplace, he installed a pricing director reporting to finance, killed blanket rebates, and tied commissions to net revenue. Within 12 months, margin rose from 20% to 40%, Boon tells us—proof that disciplined economics, not dashboards, drive durable turnarounds.

What a whirlwind of a week it's been! Eric G dives into the chaos after finally selling his house, and let me tell you, moving is about as fun as watching paint dry on a humid day. But hey, he managed to squeeze in a weekend joyride after all that madness, and spoiler alert: he got his hands on a 2014 Ford Raptor. Nothing says 'I just sold my house' like a truck that could probably tow a small mountain. Eric shares his excitement for revving up a new YouTube channel, where he plans to show off his lumber-hauling capabilities. After all, who doesn't want to see a guy in a badass truck trying to remember how to use a hammer? But it's not all trucks and good tunes from Morris Day and the Time—he's also got a keen eye on the shifting marketplace for home services! With HVAC companies buying up plumbers and electricians like they're Pokémon cards, Eric gives us the lowdown on how this could affect our future home improvement projects. Are you ready for the day when you might have to call an HVAC guy to fix your sink? Yeah, me neither. Prices are fluctuating like a rollercoaster, and Eric warns us to keep our eyes peeled for changes because your trusty plumber might just become your not-so-trusty HVAC technician. Let's not forget about the gas prices and how they're impacting the entire home improvement industry. Eric lays it down that as gas prices dip, the cost of materials might just follow suit. So, if you're looking to tackle that home project you've pushed to the back burner, good news might be on the horizon. But, as always, he emphasizes the importance of staying informed. With a new tax looming and government shutdown affecting rebates, Eric reminds us that the world of home improvement is anything but dull. So, buckle up—this episode is a wild ride through personal anecdotes and market insights, and trust me, you don't want to miss it!Takeaways: Eric G just closed a major chapter in life by selling his house, and wow, what a relief! The marketplace is getting spicy, especially with HVAC companies gobbling up plumbers and electricians like they're on a shopping spree. Gas prices are doing a little cha-cha, and while some areas see drops, others are still feeling the pinch. If you think your favorite plumbing company vanished, it might just be the HVAC takeover - stay alert! Panasonic is venturing into the Bluetooth game with bathroom fans, because regular ventilation was so last season. This week's DMV story?

Back for another week, and even on weeks when it feels golf might have been a little quiet, there always seems to be plenty to discuss. We start this week with a reminder about our Talk Birdie survey....we want to know your opinion on the show: good, bad, or indifferent - and one respondent will win $300 to spend at FootJoy, and $300 to spend at Golf Clearance Outlet. The survey takes 8-minutes tops, probably less, and you can find it here. It closes on Friday October 31. We'd appreciate it!Onto golf news. Mark has been reading the New York Times. We were as surprised as you. However he read an article on the LIV/PGA Merger, or lack of, and raises this with Nick. Is it still a chance, is it all over? Nick is curious about the next wave of signings, and re-signings, given the initial contracts for many of them are about to be up. What about the franchise sale model, is that alive or not a starter now? Ultimately whether there is a merger or not, Nick and Mark discuss the increasing number of LIV players playing PGA tournaments and give their view.Nick commentated the WA Open at Mount Lawley over the weekend and loved the course, he may be a little biased given it's his home course and his brother runs the joint, however he said it was brilliant. Mark is keen to know what the players thought. Nick tells a great story about the ultimate winner, Oliver Bekker, and how he saved the tournament on the final hole.Mark saw a tweet from OCM over the weekend on a new course that Mike Cocking has designed in Georgia called Fall Line. The pics are extraordinary, and it looks eerily similar to Sandbelt courses. We discuss, and Mark is going to try and get Mike on the pod perhaps next week when he returns from overseas.And then a voicemail comes in during the pod - it is Rick from Perth with a question about hybrids in his bag.Mark plays a clip of a Scott Fawcett from Decade Golf talking about stats putting from 25 feet.....the stats are revealing. Leads to a story about a coach of Marks who he says was awful.After the turn, Nick awards the Touch of Class for BMW to Scott from Townsville who played in the BMW Golf Cup National Final last week and absolutely shot the lights out. Mark says his scores around Sanctuary Cove were 'pro-level'. A fantastic event, and we find out how you can enter next year if you're keen.Thanks to Betr, a great Top 5 today from Nick - the Top 5 unique greens in world golf that he has played. See if you think he might have missed any.For Southern Golf Club - heaps of feedback : Moe Norman comments, WA Open feedback, a Top 5 observation from last weeks show, and with his induction to the Vic PGA Hall of Fame, one wolfpacker is keen for us to get Robert Allenby on the pod.Onto the PING Globals - Nick takes us around the world, still plenty of golf going on so lots to discuss!And for watchMynumbers, Mark's Masterclass this week is on waggling prior to moving to address and how he feels it has helped his game.

Shakti is conscious energy, the essence of the universe, and true spirituality is about realizing oneself as awareness beyond the personal mind and emotions. Thoughts and emotions are merely vibrations shaped by past impressions, and liberation comes through letting go and refusing to be pulled down into them.

When two faith-based credit unions unite, it's not just about growing bigger—it's about multiplying Kingdom impact. We're talking about something that's a lot more than just a merger— it's about expanding services and supporting ministries worldwide. Aaron Caid joins us today to talk about the exciting merger of Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU) and AdelFi Credit Union.Aaron Caid is the Chief Marketing Officer at Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU), an underwriter of Faith & Finance. A New Season for Christian Community Credit UnionWhen it comes to money, the conversation always goes deeper than numbers. For Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU), finances are a matter of faith, stewardship, and Kingdom impact. That's why the announcement of a merger between CCCU and AdelFi marks such a significant and exciting new chapter.This merger wasn't a quick decision. It was the culmination of nearly two years of prayer, discernment, and thoughtful consideration by both boards. Both organizations share a Christ-centered mission, with AdelFi carrying a 60-year history of faith-aligned banking and a strong commitment to supporting Christian ministries. The merger is designed to create a stronger credit union, expand reach, and multiply Kingdom impact.What Members Can ExpectFor CCCU and AdelFi members, the transition will be seamless. Accounts and services will remain uninterrupted. At the same time, members can look forward to enhanced digital tools, stronger security, expanded member support, and greater lending capacity. That means more opportunities to serve individuals, churches, ministries, and faith-based businesses with tailored financial solutions.The heart of this merger is ministry. By combining resources, CCCU will be able to give more generously to global partners such as Samaritan's Purse, the Tim Tebow Foundation, and Mission Aviation Fellowship. Together, the new institution will support churches, mission-sending agencies, and faith-based organizations with greater financial strength. At the end of the day, it's not just banking, it's stewarding resources for eternal impact.With the merger complete, CCCU will become the largest Christian banking institution in the United States—holding more than $1.5 billion in assets. Beyond size, the partnership brings specialized expertise. AdelFi's strength in serving Christian-owned businesses complements CCCU's established ministry partnerships, while AdelFi's connection to over 4,000 missionaries deepens the reach to those serving around the world.The Path AheadThe merger is officially effective December 1, and members don't need to take any action. Services will continue seamlessly, with every account insured up to $250,000. CCCU is committed to keeping members updated through email and the merger hubs on their websites.This partnership represents more than financial growth—it's about multiplying impact for the Kingdom. Together, CCCU and AdelFi are equipping God's people and ministries with financial tools that advance the Gospel and care for others in Jesus' name.To learn more about this new chapter in Christian banking, visit FaithFi.com/Banking.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have approximately $630,000 in savings and would like guidance on how to invest it, pay off around $20,000 in debt, and purchase a home within the next year.
