  1. I was looking at it hoping for a cup with handle pattern. Instead I think the move has been defined as $4-$7 and I think the stock will remain around $5.50.

  2. Africa Oil has a nice chart. Hard to believe they have a dividend! Numbers are ugly I think some form of news will be coming soon. $1.60 & $1.80 are in sight.

    This co was incorporated in Canada.

    EPS has fallen off a cliff.

    $107 mil in sales down 42%

  3. If you like copper Nine you may want to consider TECK

    TECK Teck Resources Limited


    $42.27-0.50(-1.17%)4:00 PM 03/18/25
    NYSE |$USD |Pre-Market:$42.70+0.43(+1.02%)7:06 AM

    I'm sure you know this Canadian Co. They have sold off a lot of assets and can use that money for more copper exploration.

    Teck Resources targets up to 565,000 tons copper production in 2025 amid cost reductions

    Teck Resources to seek metal buyers in Asia to avoid U.S. tariffs, CEO says

    Tue, Mar. 04

    2026 should be a good year for TECK I know it's along time to hold.

    After a period of under performance The last 3 months have been up 5% vs S&P down.
    and TECK sits on top of it's 10 day and 50 day MA but not 200... that is $45.94.

    I would say tariffs will have to be figured out but there's $4-$5 quick bucks here.

  4. BYD another new high at $110.



    “BlackRock's Long Position in H-Shares of BYD Increases to 7.02% on March 14 From 6.47% - HKEX”




    How does BYD’s new system work and compare to rivals’ offerings?

    (March 19): Chinese automaker BYD Co is turning heads with claims that it’s developed an electric-vehicle (EV) platform it says will enable drivers to charge an EV in roughly the same time it takes to refuel a gasoline car.

    From “more features for no more price” and “smart driving for all”, BYD can now add “charging as fast as refuelling” to its marketing slogans, potentially helping it to capture more share from legacy automakers and more direct rivals like Elon Musk’s Tesla Inc.

    BYD showcased the upgrade to its EVs (the Shenzhen-based automaker also makes hybrid cars) at an event on Monday evening in China. The so-called Super e-Platform features flash-charging batteries, a 30,000 RPM motor and new silicon carbide power chips.

    In layman’s terms, what this means is that BYD’s cars can achieve a charging power of one megawatt and a peak charging speed of 2km per second, according to the company, making it the fastest system of its type for mass-produced vehicles and allowing for 400km of range to be added in just five minutes of charging.

    That’s more or less analogous to what it takes to drive in and out of a gas station and pay for a full tank.

    The capability BYD is claiming outperforms Tesla’s Superchargers, which can do 275km in 15 minutes, according to the company’s website. Mercedes-Benz Group AG’s new entry-level CLA sedan EV, can achieve 325km in 10 minutes.

    BYD also has plenty of competition closer to home. China’s Li Auto Inc, for example, uses a battery from Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Ltd, or CATL, in one of its vehicles that offers 500km of range from a 12-minute charge.

    BYD says it’s made such leaps that the Han L, one of the EVs that will now come with the new Super e-Platform, is comparable to a Formula E racing car.

    How has BYD made it possible to charge so fast?
    BYD cites its “all liquid-cooled megawatt flash charging terminal system”.

    In addition, to match the ultra-high power charging, BYD has self-developed a next-generation automotive-grade silicon carbide power chip. The chip has a voltage rating of up to 1500V, the highest to date in the car industry.

    In tandem, BYD on Monday launched its flash-charging battery. From the positive to the negative electrode, the cell contains ultra-fast ion channels, which BYD says reduces the battery’s internal resistance by 50%.

    There’s also a mass-produced 30,000 RPM motor. Luo Hongbin, BYD's senior vice-president, said the motor “not only significantly boosts a vehicle’s speed, but also greatly reduces the motor’s weight and size, enhancing power density”.

    Is it safe?
    That’s a complicated question. For super-fast charging, there may be some impact to the safety of a battery and its lifetime durability. Older batteries may be not suited to such quick charging. At the same time, large charging currents can lead to severe overheating, Tsinghua University professor Ouyang Minggao wrote in a 2024 paper.

    There could be added costs, too. Guotai Junan Securities Co has estimated that to upgrade an EV from a 400-volt to 800-volt architecture may add a cost of about 4,000 yuan (US$550 or RM2,450.40) per vehicle. BYD’s latest platform goes up to 1,000 volts, which fires up the battery, motor, air conditioning and other components.

    Separately, electricity grids may not be able to sustain the load from such high-intensity charging, meaning these super-fast charging stations — BYD says it plans to build more than 4,000 of them in China — may not be able to draw power from the grid directly, according to Ouyang.

    Some EV makers, like Xpeng Inc, which is also working on super-fast charging technologies, have unique energy-storage units at their charging stations to help manage the elevated power demand.

    Where can BYD’s new five-minute charging system be used? Can it help solve range anxiety?
    BYD chairman Wang Chuanfu said on Monday that “charging anxiety” is still a major concern, despite advances in EV technology. People don’t want to wait for hours while their car powers up, or worse, drive to a charging point only to find it broken or occupied.

    BYD’s ultra-fast charging cars could therefore go a long way to ease charging anxiety. Fast-charging batteries are “another step towards reducing consumer hesitancy for EVs”, said Vincent Sun, an analyst at Morningstar Inc. But he adds that the high voltage requirements on charging poles “aren’t widely supported yet”.

    For the time being, BYD’s system will only be available in China. The first models to feature its Super e-Platform will be the Han L and Tang L. Those have officially started pre-sales in China and are set to launch in April.

    Automakers building out their own charging infrastructure, which include BYD and Tesla, are raising questions about the value of battery swapping, especially for those carmakers with closed ecosystems like Nio Inc. Rather than charging up an EV battery, battery swapping is where a driver physically swaps out their spent battery for a new one. Nio has now built out more than 3,200 swapping stations globally, with most located in China….”

  5. Baird maintains 'bearish fresh pick' designation on Tesla after site visit »

    It's funny to watch that beautiful landing of the SpaceX craft and think oh that's good Musk and
    the TSLA is bad Musk.

    Can we separate the two? I have been waiting for a SpaceX IPO for years and very excited about the Co.. but put one Nazi SS symbol on that craft like those lightning bolts... and it will be
    ein weiteres Fiasko.

  6. Yesterday my MAGA hunting buddy said “How will the Dems attack Elon forbringing the astronauts back?” A triggered man says that stuff. Elon has done many great things, it’s the bizarre things people they don’t like.

  7. Stoney have you heard from Van? It’s not like him to go MIA. Hopefully he’s all good.

  8. Van made a very very bad market call. And then he said fade me and my negative call. And then the market went down 10%. Van hates it when I'm right, Van spends his life in a spiral of hate. Van began making wild posts about Democrats and canes like he did the last time when he put children's father's names on gravestones. It is I think maybe that mental condition we were highlighting the other day. I have tried and tried to rehab Van, to save him from himself... Then we fired off a 100% gainer and all those Quantum stocks huge gainers and he just fried out.

    Eventually he'll come crawling back maybe with a new online identity But how many times can you be banned?

    It's a gamble play the numbers are messed up by a recent acquisition. If you want fundamentals Athabaska is the best play in Canada and Veren was severely undervalued catching up to the theoretical merger price eventually it will be Whitecap stock ( times 1.05 ). I also like Nuvista is nat gas keeps going up, and MEG Energy is a good play if Oil goes up.
