Keith Neumeyer discusses the IPO of his new company, First Mining Finance (FF). First Mining Finance has been designed to take advantage of the depressed markets for mining assets. Many see current valuations as the cheapest they have been in 20 years, on a relative basis perhaps even the cheapest ever. FF’s aim is to tap into its large knowledge base and use it to accumulate as many quality mining assets as possible (Americas only) - assets which don’t require higher metals prices to be viable - while they are cheap. Eventually, the plan is to have a large bank of them. When (if) the mining cycle turns favourable again, it is hoped the ‘mineral bank’ will have appreciated considerably in price. FF will then look to generate revenue either from re-sales, JVs, royalties or streaming structures.The man behind the deal is Keith Neumeyer. For those of you that don’t know Keith, he built First Majestic Silver (TSX:FR) and took it from penny stock status to $25 a share (in the heady days of 2010-11) with a C$3 billion plus market cap. It is now one of North America’s leading silver producers and even in today’s beaten up silver market it remains profitable with a market cap of around C$900m and a share price of $7.50-$8. Keith was previously behind First Quantum Minerals (TSX:FM), which followed a similarly enormous trajectory to become one of the world’s biggest copper producers. His record in mining is pretty much second to none. It is better than even mine.Also involved are many of the other key personnel from First Majestic, such as Ramon Davila and Raul Diaz.FF already has 18 properties at various stages of development (gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc) and has raised C$2.7m. The company will IPO in Canada via an RTO next month and plans to raise another C$8-10m (at 40c) in the process. A C$10m raise would mean 80m shares outstanding a market cap of just above C$30m. Management will own about 10% and First Majestic shareholders 25-30%. The success of First Mining Finance depends on the metals markets, of course, but the ideal situation would be for them to remain depressed for another while so that assets can be picked up cheaply and for things to then pick up, as they one day will. This is a company to hold for three to five years rather than flip.Anyway, if you are interested in finding out more or in taking part in the IPO, please contact me and I’ll send over forms (email - frizzers at gmail dot com). If you want to speak to Keith, I’ll try and arrange that too. Here is the powerpoint presentation.edit - Further to your questions, I have had the following from management:“Total management fees are around $500k per year, this includes the cost of support services from First Majestic (offices, legal, administrative etc). We have four employees. The total holding costs per year are around 900k so the total annual cash burn rate is expected to be $1.4 mn. The minimum investment amount is $10,000. Management currently owns (i.e. before this financing) 15% of the shares. We are looking to close the financing within the next week or so ( i.e. by around March 6 or so) and we expect the shares to be listed by the middle of this month”.

Dominic meets with Siam Kidd.Siam joined the RAF after school and not long after completing his officers’ training he began trading and investing. He didn’t have the most successful of starts. Being self taught and impatient he quickly lost money, including - as he describes the interview - fifteen grand in the time it took him to make a pop tart. This continued for some time as he continually struggled to balance his pilot training and trading, but now trading has become profitable for him. In addition to trading his own book Siam teaches his trading strategies via The Realistic Trader.Bitcoin: the Future of Money? by Dominic Frisby is available directly from the publishers Unbound, from amazon.com or amazon.co.uk.

Dominic Frisby talks to market historian, geologist and newsletter writer Bob Hoye of Institutional Advisors.They discuss whether or not central banks can influence asset prices and talk about the possibility of an impending credit crunch.Central banks believe that they can depreciate a currency at will and elevate asset prices. But in Hoye’s view, asset price inflation needs some kind of speculative element. Therefore asset prices show huge swings compared to the growth curve of credit. Also Hoye states that inflation should not be confused with a rise in consumer prices.Hoye points out that the stock market is currently signalling that we are in the midst of a post bubble contraction. The various measures undertaken by central banks in order to ease monetary conditions have not had significant results on the market, and Hoye expects another credit crisis. As indicators for an impending event, he looks to the VIX – which tracks S&P 500 volatility – and to the gold/silver ratio.This podcast can also be heard at Goldmoney - GoldMoney - the best way to buy gold and silver.

On his recent trip to London, trader Michael Hampton discusses some of the issues raised in Dominic Frisby’s book.They discuss the importance of sound money, the shrinking of the middle class and currency competition.Dominic Frisby states that the extraordinarily uneven distribution of wealth in country’s like Britain and America is a consequence of our system of money. Those who receive the newly created money first benefit over those who don’t – a process which compounds over time and leads to an ever greater concentration of wealth among the top 1%. They also point out that government redistribution of wealth – whether via inflation or through welfare payments – is placing incredible pressure on the middle classes, who are finding themselves squeezed like never before.Please pre-order the book here.This podcast can also be heard at the Goldmoney Website.

Dominic Frisby talks to Athens resident, former bond trader and business man, Stratos Manolas.Greece faces a dire social situation with an unemployment rate of 25%, a rise in poverty, illegal immigration and capital flight.In the years leading up to the debt crisis, Greek politicians gladly took EU subsidies without assuring the productive use of those funds, which lead to an increase in debt and corruption. At the same time the regulatory setup in Greece has hindered the entrepreneurial spirit of the country. While the latest reforms were necessary and had good elements, Manolas criticises the implementation of reforms, and how the IMF forced them upon the people.The majority of Greeks still favour staying in the euro. Manolas states that a move to the drachma and the subsequent power to manage their own currency could lead to the postponement of necessary structural adjustments. They agree that the eurozone will continue to “muddle through”. Amid the gloom though, Manolas sees some positive signals for investing in Greece.This podcast was recorded on 14 October 2012.This podcast can also be heard at the Goldmoney Foundation, an independent organisation established by GoldMoney - the best way to buy gold and silver.

On his recent trip to London, trader Michael Hampton discusses gold, the stock market and the financial outlook.Good news … though he sees a correction in the short term, Mike is bullish about gold and gold stocks.Here’s a link to his charts.Hampton believes that the upcoming presidential election in the United States is going to an big impact on both gold and the stock market. The seasonal cycle calls for a correction in the gold market in October that could result in a significant low as early as this week. Once that’s out of the way Hampton expects a pretty decent upside move in the gold price.The four-year cycle in gold indicates that the year after the US elections on average sees a doubling of the gold price.His outlook for the stock market is not as bullish , as the liquidity injections of central banks seem to have a diminishing impact after each additional round. Therefore owning call options on gold or gold shares versus puts on stock indices could be an interesting trade.This podcast can also be heard at the Goldmoney Foundation, an independent organisation established by GoldMoney - the best way to buy gold and silver.

Dominic Frisby talks to author, Theodore Dalyrimple. Theodore’s work frequently appears in The City Journal, The British Medical Journal, The Times, The Observer, The Daily Telegraph,The Spectator, The Salisbury Review, and Axess magasin. He is the author of a number of books, including Life at the Bottom: The Worldview That Makes the Underclass, Our Culture, What’s Left of It, and Spoilt Rotten: The Toxic Cult of Sentimentality.In his writing, Dalyrimple frequently argues that the liberal and progressive views prevalent within Western intellectual circles minimise the responsibility of individuals for their own actions and undermine traditional mores, contributing to the formation within rich countries of an underclass afflicted by endemic violence, criminality, sexually transmitted diseases, welfare dependency, and drug abuse. Much of Dalrymple’s writing is based on his experience of working with criminals and the mentally ill.Please click here to find out more about the book or pre-order it.FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
