RE:OK I made a few calls...Well I did go on Reddit last night and on a forum called Investor 101. And I explained that playing around with short squeezes is fun stuff for sure, but not a really good strategy to make money , except maybe if one is timed perfectly and very lucky.
So I talked about Endeavor and how, sure , gold companies are mostly bad: destroying the environment, trying to cheat on their taxes - Barrick comes to mind, and Semafo it seems was like that too- and all in all gold really is kind of useless. But if one is interested in making money in a little more logical and likely manner, then Endeavor might be a good choice. And I explained that Endeavor has all it's mines in very dry and dusty parts of Africa, at least all the mine pics seem like that, so it's not like they are fking up some pristine valley in the Canadian wilderness; and they pay their taxes without hesitation, and seem to treat the workers fairly and with consideration. I even explained that sure rich folk own quite a lot of the shares but at least they aren't Americans, but rather Egyptians and Africans - I really have developed a dislike for rich Americans as have most everyone - and also lots of poorish folk like me.
With EDV up 5% this morning I guess I have had an impact.
