The Politics of Gold Mining Stocks - Daily Reckoning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, I was at the Java Connection in Whitehorse, Yukon. I was in town on my way to see two projects up above Dawson City. Two men sat down at a table next to me. I couldn’t help but overhear their conversation. It focused on the Eagle Mine and the continued fallout from the disaster. The conversation highlights some risks to investors in Yukon mining companies. In 2024, gold producer Victoria Gold’s heap leach pad collapsed at its Eagle Mine. The collapse broke through the containment area

We all feel the pinch of high food prices right now, but don’t blame the farmers. They are getting hit hard. From a recent American Farm Bureau Federation analysis: Farmers growing the nation’s major row crops will collectively lose $32 billion in 2027, up from an estimated $31 billion in 2026… That’s a crazy statistic.

I’d sit in a booth eating a greasy slice of pizza, while my uncle waxed on about blackjack hands or craps odds. My uncle skipped college and went to dealer school. I used to sit in my grandmother’s kitchen and watch him practice shuffling multiple decks of cards. He always had big red dice or decks of cards with holes drilled through them. From those late-nig

Here is an unpopular opinion… I think the data center buildout will fall far short of expectations. And I’m not the only skeptic. Giant investment bank Goldman Sachs expects companies to complete only about 50% to 60% of data center capacity. That’s due to delays and cancellations. Data centers are incredibly unpopular. Ask anybody. According to Gallup’s March 2026 poll, 71% of Americans oppose data centers in their area. Half of those polled are strongly against them. The big reasons are: Meanw
