Three Sharp Pencils in the Graphite Game

By Mickey Fulp | November 27, 2012

It appears that graphite is next in line for a commodity boom. The market is driven by increasing demand from traditional applications, new technology uses, and China’s 75% control of supply, its depleting reserves, and efforts to consolidate operations.

Thoughts on Gold, Silver & Fiat Currencies

By Mickey Fulp | October 30, 2012

Gold is money that maintains its purchasing power, and for this reason it should be viewed as insurance against financial calamity and a hedge in case of economic collapse. When money supplies are inflated, fiat currencies are devalued and the price of gold goes up.

On Greek ‘Crisis,’ the World’s Reserve Currency & Gold

By Mickey Fulp | August 14, 2012

Frankly, I don’t get it. The euro, the currency without a country, has been nothing more and nothing less than an abject fiat fiasco since April 30, 2010 when the first Greek panic attack hit the stock markets.

By Mickey Fulp | July 5, 2012

The data and charts reflect China’s 36% of world consumption and its dominance of global copper markets. It is apparent to me that as goes China, so goes Dr. Copper. I take the contrarian view that a hard landing is not going to happen anytime soon.

Long-Term Fundamentals of the Copper Market

By Mickey Fulp | May 29, 2012

Oil, gold, and copper have shed roughly 10% of their unit values this month. Most experts have adopted a very bearish outlook to the point of jumping on the doom and gloom bandwagon. Not I, sayeth The Mercenary Geologist.

Why Gold Stocks Suck

By Mickey Fulp | May 3, 2012

Now that we are in a bear market for juniors, most stocks, whether good or bad or ugly, will suffer in a like manner. Some writers and pundits have recently called the bottom or surmised that the bottom is near and now is the time to buy. I disagree.

Has The Earth Ever Run Out of a Natural Resource?

By Mickey Fulp | March 21, 2012

Throughout human-kind’s history on Earth, we have never exhausted the supply of any mineral or energy commodity, with one notable exception. But before I make my case, let’s cover some historic background.
