Seen by Many - Recognized by Few

Recently we offered the free Benchmark Vaults of Value here. Few were interested in these extraordinarily wide ranging and valuable gifts by Trader Garrett and the Old Prospector of the Independence Gold Mine series.

That offer expires today and their job is now complete.

Future of Market Pendulum/Benchmark

The site will remain open for reference and review.

However, no new material will be published by Trader Garrett or the Old Prospector. They will now depart knowing they have done their best to help others over many years. 

On behalf of the authors, thank you for coming!

The Nova Experience

Benchmark has a list of 28 high grade stock candidates in the gold/silver, copper, critical minerals and oil space for members.

1) Recently, our O3 Mining selection was taken over by AEM as documented here.

2) Another candidate has more than 1 oz of Gold behind each and every share. No one else comes close.

3) Another selection was the unique Nova Minerals (NVA). On their main deposit, they have 4.05 mil/oz of gold with total resources of 9.9/mil oz. They also have high grade antimony deposits plus some other critical minerals including cobalt, gallium, tungsten etc.

With only 4.1mil shares (extraordinarily low) and insiders owning 8%, it was a no-brainer investment in early December when the daily buy signal occurred. While NVA is a listed stock, I chose the warrant route and whose price was tied to the common shares.

Since then, NVA gained more than 100% while the warrants gained over 300% just as a proprietary sell signal point was achieved.

Game Changing Technology Benefits - EV + Silver

In August, Samsung introduced a game changing battery technology that benefits both electric vehicles and silver. Details are here. 

It needs economies of scale to be reasonably priced for regular EV cars in time.

However, "the firm has signed an agreement with Toyota to begin mass production of Solid State batteries in 2027, with Lexus vehicles scheduled to be among the first to integrate the new technology."

Benchmark Outlook

Improvements in battery life and safety at all levels will gain momentum over the next few years and bears watching. The Silver Zinc battery is an example.

Silver's longer term prospects and price projections for 2025 and beyond are now greatly improved with this development. 

In addition, silver above ground supply overhang and recycle inventory are coming down big time, according to a very respected silver analyst. This also supports Benchmark's Firepower price and trend projections.

Benchmark Firepower System

Adapted from the Old Prospector's state-of-the-art GPS system described in Part 10 of the IGM, the Benchmark BOT engine is designed exclusively for the weekly and above time frame trends.

Acting like an AI robot and using only one indicator, this remarkable prospecting system locates BOT (Bottom Of Trend) entry areas using internal guidance sensitivity levels.

Time frame trend analysis provides context, clarity and confirmation.

Time Frame Benefits

Investing in higher time frames has three major benefits:

• Signals last longer without interruptions

• Profit potential is far greater than the daily

• Valid signals typically occur sooner than traditional methods

Amazing But True

In ancient times, they took a cup of water from the river, put a pure gold nugget in the water to kill the bacteria and drank the water.

"Cleopatra famously used pure gold as a face mask to keep her skin youthful. During the Roman era, gold was made into a salve and used to treat various skin diseases and infections." 

Silver does the about the same thing. On the Oregon Trail and others, pioneers always had silver coins in their water buckets.

Wearing 24 carat gold is actually very healthy thing for your body as well. It relieves arthritic symptoms, reduces soreness or infections, regulates body temperature which improves the immune system, helps skin care and improves mood.

Currently, "Gold Nanoparticles (AuNPs) are a powerful addition to the range of techniques available for virus testing and control" as explained here. Silver nanoparticles have potential "use as antiviral therapeutics against pathogenic viruses" as demonstrated here.

Amazing but true.
