Analysis for $ARBKF and not $ARBK

$ARBKF - Publicly traded miner Agro Blockchain PLC spiked 5% on Monday trade, sparking interest in the company.

A change from previous close of $0.36 to $0.38 was significant for a penny stock.

In the year range, $ARBKF has traded between $0.34 - $2.15 which shows that there is more upside than downside for the stock to move in.

Starting out as a Mining-as-a-Service (MaaS) company in 2018, the Nasdaq and LSE listed company moved into mining for own account in 2019, diversified into digital blockchain infrastructure in 2020 and in 2021 did acquire 160 acres to build a 200 MW facility in Dickens County-Texas.

In May 2022, mining operations have started at the 126,000 square feet Dickens County data center.

Revenue of Agro Blockchain is poised to grow exponentially, given that from a total revenue of $1.1 million in 2018 FY it has scaled to $100.1 million in 2021 FY.

Compared to its peers $HUT (Hut 8 Mining Corp) $BITF (Bitfarms Ltd) $MARA (Marathon Digital Holding) that in the first half of 2022 have a mining margin of 61%, $ARBKF has achieved a mining margin of 71%, which is significant.

However, movement in $ARBKF is tied to pricing of $BTC Bitcoin - which to registered a jump of 5.21% on Monday, an increase of $1002 over the previous close.

Volatility in $BTC Bitcoin prices have increased as geo-political tensions mount and this will have an impact on mining companies as well.

Given the bottoming out of $ARBKF stock price, it is a buy at this price and can give rich returns over a 12 month period.

OPEC Plus Agrees to Cut Production by 100,000 Barrels a Day

Putin’s energy war will get intense in Winter

Intent upon driving a wedge between USA and Europe, Putin still has some fuel in his armoury to drive the Energy War, even has his forces suffer a setback on the Ukraine battleground.

As Oil prices are showing signs of a fall, Russia with OPEC are toying with the idea of cutting production to raise prices.

Europe coming together to cap Russian Oil price, besides the sanctions imposed, has had a deep impact on the Russian economy.

A collateral damage has been rising energy prices and inflation flaring up.
With a global battle of nerves playing out, seeds of a second Cold War have been sown and the China - Russia duo play is what needs to watched.

Resilience of the Western alliance is what will be tested during the winter months.

“His best shot at this point is to break the resolve of the Western alliance by precipitating an energy crisis,” Craig Kennedy of Harvard’s Davis Center for Eurasian and Russian Studies said at an Brookings event. “He’s starting with gas, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him winding down oil production as well.”

A three fold jump in revenues from $5,059,976 in Q2 -2021 to $17,158,894 by Q2 - 2022 is remarkable for OLB Group but it will be awhile before the group turns profitable as the growth is largely driven by last years new acquisition.

A negative income of $2,893,550 by Q2 - 2022 will need the Bitcoin mining business to deliver better even as cost of mining new coins is projected at $8,000 per coin.

The Crypto market is currently in a down cycle

From a negative EBITA of $1,180,598 in 2021, the adjusted positive EBITA for the current year at $745,169 does show that the business is moving in the right direction.

For a debt free company with a lean finance of only $750,000, a projected revenue of about $35 million for 2022 and holding total assets worth $43 million, the market pricing the stock at about $20.29 million ($OLB $1.38 on Sept 14, 2022), the stock has value and would surely move higher as its negative income turns positive.

Whether a firmly entrenched Putin can be overthrown by some officers making an appeal to the State Duma is mere speculation, but it is the reality from the battlefield, where the Ukrainian soldiers fighting spirit that has brought about a turning point in the ongoing war that needs to be considered seriously

With crude oil prices falling, the trade war over capping Russian Oil appears to be having an impact but with the Russian Army losing captured territory and revenues falling due to reduced crude prices, Putin pushed into a box may have to vacate his position soon.

However, inflation is biting the US Economy too and President Biden will be left with few choices to replenish the oil reserves or contain inflation.

The Ukraine War has added the last nail into the Globalisation coffin and World Trade Organisation is a shattered organisation. As the world moves to multi-lateral trading organisations, a currency war out there is further disrupting global trade.

A Fantastic Return, if you bought the stock at $0.010 in July, it closed at $0.16 on Tuesday trade.

Some Penny Stocks do hit a jackpot, if you get it right.

Fair enough. As I’m new out here, henceforth, I will back up my argument with supporting links.

It sure is likely Putin’s commenting about EU losing its political sovereignty is pure spin, but Europe is facing a severe energy crisis that is bound to test its unity over Ukraine.

I appreciate your disagreeing with “EU Unity is all too fragile and will easily break up when the push comes to shove” but how long with the governments ignore the protests that are breaking out all over EU.

More protests against the blowback from Western-imposed sanctions (read: soaring energy prices) are happening around Europe. This time, thousands are marching in the streets of Cologne, Germany against Chancellor Scholz’s gov’t. Take a look:pic.twitter.com/KHWWjmR45d

Protestors in France demand an exit from NATO & the removal of Macron. Among the chants were "Macron get out", "Macron destitution", "Let's leave NATO", & "FREXIT".

It is not negativity but real-politic that needs to be acknowledged.

Also, the sanctions are having their impact on Russia. Shutting down the Nord Stream gas pipeline is a clear indicator that the threat of enforcing Russian Price Cap on Oil and Gas will further raise the costs of war on the aggressor nation.

With Oil Prices having fallen below $100 to a barrel, and OPEC + Russia coming together to cut production so as to raise the price, does indicate that a Russian Price Cap could lead to prices further reducing.

Just to bring home the point, France's Finance Minister Le Maire, over the weekend, noted that, "it's not a surprise" that the Nord Stream gas pipeline was shut indefinitely.

He also did say that EU Unanimity on Russian Price Cap was a 'Challenge'

While its OK creating noise about attempting to put a price cap to Russian oil, the real test will before us as winter descends upon EU and how the energy market behaves.

I believe the EU Unity is all too fragile and will easily break up when the push comes to shove.

Meanwhile, Putin is already playing up the issue saying that EU has lost its political sovereignty for these nations are pursuing polices that are detrimental to the welfare of their own people, businesses and economies.

Can G7 Cap Russian Oil Price

Are the powerful G7 countries making empty threats of containing Russian funding to the Ukrainian War by enforcing capping of the Russian Oil price ?

Their strategy appears to be out place, as Russia in defiance of all global sanctions has only diverted supplies to Asia, much to the annoyance of Europe and US.

The retreat from Globalisation into Nationalism, and de-coupling of economies is not an easy task today.

With heavily populated countries like China and India rising up on the development index, demand for energy, especially so for fossil fuels, is bound to rise.

For Russia, a nuclear powerhouse with veto authority at the UN, if not Europe, there is a ready global market available for selling its abundance of Oil and Gas supplies.

Moreover, G7 has been unable to spell out how they intend to enforce a cap of Russian Oil

DogeCoin is here to stay, will it make a comeback - I don't think so till a time the big boys in Crypto get moving.

Crypto has a future in not being bound under any sovereign government - the freedom such currency offers will find more adoption as central banks attempt to protect their national currencies.

Rubble getting backed by Gold has hit the Euro hard, but the Dollar has strengthened.

As the European economy suffers from withdrawing its dependence upon Russian Gas and inflation bites, the Euro could further fall.

The upcoming winter is going to be a tough period for the Euro
