The Nova Experience

Benchmark has a list of 28 high grade stock candidates in the gold/silver, copper and critical minerals 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 other company in the world 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.

The Sven Connection

Happy New Year!

We are entering 2025 with a positive mindset since the trading in TSC Premium has been very profitable and we are looking forward to improving the results further this year!

TSC Portfolio - Completed Trades:

 

The healthy consolidation in Gold and Silver and the correction in resources like Copper and other necessary metals have given us the opportunity to invest in the best companies at lower levels. 

Right now we see that Copper has corrected the gains from earlier in the past year and the Copper price is back to $4 USD. This provides a situation where Copper Juniors and Producers are at very attractive price levels.

Look at the two charts below:

Sprott Junior Copper Miners ETF (COPJ)

The copper juniors is somewhat hard to evaluate but some of the components in COPJ should see substantial gains in 2025. If we do not want to go for the risky Juniors, there are always the larger companies to consider.

When you are about to invest in stocks it is helpful to have a plan and information that makes investment decisions easier and this is where the technical trading in TSC Premium comes in. Without proven techniques the investments can be frustrating and lead to losses.

Opportunities & Plan 

This is a new year with great trading opportunities and we will find new 1-2-3 Method Trades that you can choose to follow. The Sven Connection is all about trading primary market sectors and sub-sectors with Simple Sector Selection techniques.

New for this year is the additional Technical Trading School!

The Sven Connection Premium constantly updates you on our progress! Complete introductory information is here.

Welcome in 2025!

Best regards,

Trader Sven

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.

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.
