It has been found that the nodules produce oxygen. Here is an article:
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dark-oxygen-discovered-coming-from-mineral-deposits-on-deep-seafloor/
It addresses the mining question near the end:
<<
Deep-sea mining projects proposed across the CCZ would extract nodules from swaths of the seafloor. The International Seabed Authority (ISA), which governs the seafloor in international waters, is currently discussing rules and regulations for mining the nodules and other deep-sea targets. Twenty-seven nations, including 26 member states of the ISA, have called for a moratorium, precautionary pause or ban on deep-sea mining.
“I don’t think [this research is] a ‘nail in the coffin’ for deep-sea mining—that has never been the intention,” Sweetman says. “It’s just another thing that we now need to take into account when it comes to deciding, ‘Do we go and mine the deep ocean, or don’t we?’ To me, that decision needs to be based on sound scientific advice and input.”

I learned about this from this video:
"Grayscale Investments ... previously announced that it has set a record date of July 18, 2024 (the "Record Date") for the initial creation and distribution of shares of Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (the "ETH Trust") to shareholders of Grayscale Ethereum Trust (Ticker: ETHE) ("ETHE") (referred to as the "Initial Distribution"). Grayscale intends to list the ETH Trust on NYSE Arca, subject to ... "
Is it possible that that underlined is suggesting that there will be further distributions from ETHE to ETH, or does the word "initial" refer only to the creation of the Mini Trust? I can't believe they have kept their 2.5% management fee.
In my Schwab account the description line on my GBTC reads "GRAYSCALE BITCOIN ETF TRADES WITH DUE BILLS." Anyone know what this is about?
Here is a video on battery technologies and "the hype cycle." Basically there is a theory that says sentiment for new technologies goes through stages ... you can learn about it in the video, it's not super long. Anyway, I was pleased to see that "zinc-air" technology made it onto the charts. It is shown as >= 10 years away, which seems believable. The weird thing though is that it is shown as being almost at peak hype. Are there other players in zinc-air that are getting publicity?
Do you know any specific people who have been blocked?
That took quite a while to get to the point, but in the end was pretty informative. I think the bottom line is they are trying to figure out how to stay in business while continuing to develop the technology.
How ironic that Grayscale was the one that pushed to get ETFs okayed, and now they are getting killed. What a bunch of idiots.
Today I sold all my GBTC in my IRAs and used the money to buy BITB. I still have a pretty big chunk in my regular account with a hefty capital gain. I had assumed that GBTC's fee would be competitive with everyone else. Not sure why anyone would buy in at this point.
I don't think a reverse split has ever been good news. And, yes, it will apply to US shareholders.
It looks like you have to be a paying customer to send a private message, which I am not. I take it you aren't either?
I've been following the development of this app: https://grayjay.app/, which is sort of a video player that would present your youtube, rumble, etc in a single feed. Anyone else interested in this? I installed it on my phone (which is older), and it failed. But I've read some positive reports. It also has ad blocking capability, which presumably would be bad for Rumble (actually, do they have ads working anywhere yet?).
Just to be clear to the casual reader here (are there any?), this concern would not apply to Sunrise, due to the agreement to send their material to the US for processing, right?
"Siting a refinery in the US would satisfy eligibility criteria under critical mineral-related initiatives, including Department of Energy (DoE) funds under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law; Title III eligibility under the Defense Production Act; and the DoE’s US$20 billion Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing loan program." Looks like we might get a slice of the boondoggle pie?
I am kind of mixed as to whether the Russell Brand situation is good for Rumble or not. On the one hand, we can expect a new wave of his fans to give Rumble a try. On the other, defying the powers that be is risky. In the end I'll say it's good, because assuring a platform to someone like him is just about the only thing Rumble is good for.

I just learned of this company after getting a link to the below in my email. Anyone following it? I seems like nuclear energy makes a lot more sense than some of the green projects being funded.
https://www.utilitydive.com/news/dod-x-energy-enhanced-design-mobile-micro-nuclear-reactor/693797/
And what did you think of their responses?
Gnarlyman, are you looking to trade in and out, or are you in for the long haul? I'm really struck by the parallels with Rumble, but maybe I'm overly influenced by the fact that they both started at $10.
I see that there are a couple of other ways to buy into this
CLBR.WS: a warrant to buy one share for $11.50. Currently selling for about $1.50.
CLBR.U: a "unit" consisting of 1 common share and one warrant.
Geez, now it's 11.90. So I've already completely missed one cycle.
So it dumped to $9 and at this moment it's back up to $10.35. You have to work fast here. Maybe I should put in a low limit order, just not sure how low.
I followed the evolution of Rumble through this process pretty closely. I wonder how similarly things will go. With Rumble there were a lot of ups and downs. A lot of fans of the product pumping it up, and a lot of short selling pushing the other way. If you had bought every time it fell to $8 and sold every time it hit $12 you'd have done pretty well. (Maybe these specific numbers are off, but you get the idea.) I'll sit on the sidelines for now, but maybe jump in if it does fall significantly below the $10 mark.
I friend of mine was all excited by a 60 Minutes feature a month ago about extracting lithium from the Imperial Valley area. The idea was to get the Li from the water extracted in geothermal energy generation. As I recall, our company got some money a while back from the state of CA to look into extracting Li directly from the Salton Sea. Not sure what ever happened to that (or this company in general), but is there a smidgeon of a hope that we own some sort of rights to some relevant technology, at least enough to initiate a nuisance lawsuit?
With the Bud Light and Target situations these guys might get an influx of support, if people know about them. It's too bad they got rid of their discussion boards. They didn't get much attention before, but now there might be more interest.
At some point this one is going to triple. Unfortunately, I don't know if it will be from 5 cents to 15 cents, or 1 cent to 3 cents.
I saw a video recently about rare earths in the US saying a massive deposit was found in North Dakota. Here is an article on the topic:
https://blogs.und.edu/und-today/2023/04/rare-earth-elements-north-dakotas-diamonds-in-the-rough/
So it seems that these materials are found in coal. North Dakota and West Virginia are competing for support from the US govt to develop processing facilities. So maybe the US isn't dropping the ball as badly as we had all thought.
Nice. With the share price at 0.000001 (according to investorsHub) I should be able to spend a buck and get 1000000 shares. It is interesting though that the lights are still on.
The Rumble app on my TV was recently upgraded, and it is much improved, so that's good news. It previously looked pretty amateurish. It generally looks better, and it now shows the length of the videos in the thumbnail. It still does not have buttons to thumbs up/down though.
Combination with PublicSq moves forward

If I understand your question, you are under the impression that there is a market maker for this stock. I am sure there is not. I had a conversation the other day with a guy from Schwab about thinly traded stocks like this, and basically any transaction is a matching of a buyer and a seller. That sounded fair enough, but then I asked why when I submitted a buy at a price higher than the posted bid I did not see my price become the new bid. He laughed and gave an explanation, which I didn't really understand. I think the bottom line is that nobody is paying attention to stocks like this, and things happen rather haphazardly.
I'm not understanding the question.
I don't think anyone did. Below might be all the "recent trades." This might be everything in 2023. Interesting to note the two identically sized trades.

Well that changes everything!
Anyone still following this? I was just looking at the Morningstar analysis and found this:
"Sinclair also owns 90% of Diamond Sports, formerly the Fox regional sports
network group, which operates 21 RSNs. Diamond is a separate entity and has been deconsolidated
from Sinclair's financial statements. As a result, Diamond no longer directly affects Sinclair’s reported
financial performance and it likely holds little value for Sinclair shareholders."
I'm not understanding this statement at all. What is the point of owning DS then?
I've known about PublicSq for a long time and visit the site every now and then. It serves a purpose, but doesn't seem like a blockbuster. I would be interested to hear from anyone else who has used the site.
I saw the same thing and created a board for CLBR. It will be interesting to compare its price action with Rumble's, given the somewhat similar stories.
PublicSq to go public via combination with CLBR
https://ih.advfn.com/stock-market/NYSE/colombier-acquisition-CLBR/stock-news/90350348/publicsq-a-leading-values-aligned-marketplace-t
With more than 450,000 active members and more than 40,000 businesses on its platform, PublicSq. has already become the largest marketplace of pro-America businesses and consumers

PublicSq. Founder and CEO Michael Seifert to retain majority voting rights and continue to steer mission of becoming the nation’s leading values-aligned marketplace
PSQ Holdings, Inc. (“PublicSq.”), the nation’s largest values-aligned marketplace, and Colombier Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: CLBR) (“Colombier”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, today announced that they have entered into a definitive business combination agreement. After the anticipated closing in the third quarter of 2023, the combined company will retain the PSQ Holdings, Inc. name and expects to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol PSQH. Colombier shares will continue to trade on the NYSE under the CLBR symbol until the closing of the transaction.
In less than eight months since its nationwide launch, PublicSq. has already become the largest values-aligned marketplace of pro-America businesses and consumers. The company has more than 450,000 active members, more than 40,000 businesses on its platform, and is focused on servicing an estimated total addressable market of more than 100 million Americans increasingly ignored by existing networks and marketplaces.1
Michael Seifert, the Founder and CEO of PublicSq., said: “For too long, progressive corporations have prioritized highly politicized ideas over the interests and values of the American people. Because of this, we, as patriotic Americans, are hungering for a future where the power is back in the hands of ‘We the People’ and a parallel economy is created. With the PublicSq. platform, we are grateful to provide a solution that helps every day, freedom-loving Americans spend their hard-earned money with businesses that prioritize the values that have made this nation so special in the first place. We’re just getting started, and we’re proud to partner with the Colombier team.”
Omeed Malik, the CEO and Chairman of Colombier, stated: “It has become increasingly obvious that there is a disconnect in America between the priorities of large multinational corporations that dominate our consumer experience and the hard-working families and individuals who yearn to find proudly patriotic businesses whose values align with theirs. PublicSq. has recognized and acted on this unmet need in a credible and efficient way – and with the tremendous growth of its digital platform, it is clear that Michael and his team are just getting started. We are thrilled to be supporting them on this journey.”

Michael Seifert is the Founder and CEO of PublicSq., and a recognized thought-leader in the areas of business development, politics, and culture.

The newly combined company’s Board of Directors may include new independent individuals.

I've thought about it 100 times, now I'm finally going to ask. surfer44, isn't it a little odd to keep posting youtube clips to the Rumble board? It really highlights the biggest weakness of Rumble, which is that it lacks the broad range of material you can find on youtube. Does anyone know, are there any special hurdles that have to be jumped in order to put stuff like the Rush-Working Man video onto Rumble. I've never been clear on how copyright works in that area.
It looks like everyone has lost interest in this one. Anyone still lurking? If so, are you more interested in the core business, or the crypto?
