WAR !

 War leads to many miscalculations and of course mistakes. Some dreadful deeds are also done and are likely never to be punished . Especially if they are a major protagonist such as Russia!

 In the case of Israel there has been much hatred as well egged on by Iran which is trying to gain ground against the Sunni's and promote the Shiite brand of Islam as well!

 Elements within  the Israel army probably where   responsible as their love ones were treated horribly by Hamas terrorists . The scenes women being dragged thru the Gaza streets and beaten on by hordes of Palestinians will be with me forever more! What was also noticable that every palestinian joined in ,including children !

 It is definitely not the Israel policy  to bomb aid workers as they are not savages!We saw very little sign of refugees and it looked on TV as if almost 100% of the population enjoyed the carnage!

The Best One can do Now !

 The best one can do now is hold onto sections of stocks one knows are going to be needed in future to supply the needs of the world populations.

 At the moment there so many pressures out there,what with war between major protagonists and even looming further escalations. One should avoid trendy stocks such as " save the world ", types that are promoted by minorities,such as the greens etc. They are all very well over time but make poor investments now.

Minerals such as oil which by the way,can be converted to very clean products are good examples with gas are likely to produce better results than solar panels,wind turbines etc., which are hellishly expensive start ups with many downsides. 

Basic minerals are good bets as well as storers of wealth types, these are basic iron ore and chrome ,newer lithium for smaller devices ,platinum group metals which are used for fuel cells and catalytic converters, gold in its own right that has many more uses than jewellary. 

Minerals are cyclical to a degree, how ever one should not panic at downturns ,as dividends also fall but always recover and do well over time.

 Allways buy the strongest mining houses and holding companies a they have the strength to recover the quickest. New mining assets price might increase rapidly on an idea,but when reality dawns they struggle and  there after ,ramp up periods can be as long as ten years with no real promise of success . If you cannot pay the prices wanted consider an EFT

 such as Satrix resources ,which will give you a good nights sleep or something similar.

Supplies of minerals disrupted

 The low intensity fighting which seems to be spreading around the world,is resulting in severe mineral and  metal shortages. What with boycotts of certain countries such as Russia and allies,the world has woken up to the dangers of having their main adversiry the main suppliers of these products .The main protagonists on the comunist side are which are involved at this stage are Belarus,Russia , China and North Korea. Makiing matters worse   are the so-called neutral states such as Iran with all its sibling hate filled ideas hoping to profit by weakening the capitalist world. Worse is that hold life very cheaply not minding how many of their citizens get killed upholding their religous ideas. The West of course allows freedom of beliefs and peoples as long as this does mean chucking rockets at innocent countries!

South Africa which is supposed to be  neutral has struggeled to sell its precious supplies of platinum group metats and chrome of late which forced prices down However better times would be ahead if we keep that neutrallity as above ground surplasses have been used up .As we and Russia are th main suppliers.
