Vindication! I Was Right

Analyst Christian DeHaemer’s investment preditions on Mexico and China came true. Read on... [Energy and Capital Header] Practical Investment Analysis for the New Energy Economy Vindication! I Was Right Christian DeHaemer | Sep 26, 2023 On November 15, 2022, I wrote an Energy and Capital headline reading, "Buy Oil, Buy Mexico." I continued: There are two big investment themes going on right now. The first is obviously energy. The second is deglobalization, revamped supply chains, and nearshoring. The macro environment makes it very difficult to invest in China right now. The big trend, if you are a manufacturer, is to get out of China and somewhere closer to your customers before things get really bad. China is still in rolling lockdowns; its dictator Xi Jinping seems to have no understanding of the stock market or the economy, and anyone left who could tell him would rather keep their head. Furthermore, the Biden administration started a new technological cold war with China with the CHIPS and Science Act. Everyone is underestimating the coming fallout. Companies can avoid tariffs if they produce in Mexico, which is part of the new United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement negotiated by Trump. It turns out I was correct on all of these predictions. [Mexico Boom] [LEAKED: Biden’s 19-Page Memo Sparks up to $7,882 Income Stream…]( Inside this memo, he issues instructions to the heads of each federal agency urging them to implement his new plan. Now, whether you like Biden or not doesn’t matter. All that matters is that his plan has opened the doors to a $18.3 billion stockpile… That is now flowing into the bank accounts of everyday Americans. I created a special report with step-by-step instructions on how you can claim your piece of the pie. [Click here for the details on how to cash in on Biden’s memo.]( Last week, Mexico blew past Canada and China as the U.S.’ largest trading partner. This is all part of the nearshoring trends I’ve been talking about for the past year. I’ve recommended a number of Mexican stocks in my Bull and Bust Report service. They are all in the green with a lot more upside. No one is talking about the Mexican story. We are still very early. The Middle Kingdom As for China, Biden has kept all the tariffs in place that Trump installed and even added to them. China has a hard row to hoe. It has gotten old before it's gotten rich. The Chinese population is declining. Youth unemployment is over 20%, and the country is dealing with a massive real estate crisis. Today’s news is that one of its largest real estate companies, Evergrande, has missed a payment on a $550 million onshore bond. The stock fell 25% yesterday morning. Furthermore, the company canceled a meeting with bondholders. There's $322 Billion Worth of Lithium in Northwest Alberta...Why Can't Anybody Touch It? For more than 40 years, an oil company has been working a 671-square-mile chunk of northwestern Alberta, producing its lifeblood using brine that’s kept in hundreds of massive storage ponds. These storage ponds have long been known to contain a massive lithium resource, totaling an estimated 4.3 million tons. Just recently a tiny Vancouver-based technology company, founded and headed by petrochemical industry veterans, figured out a way to extract the lithium from this brine, very quickly and very efficiently. So efficiently, in fact, that the company can filter this oil field brine, returning it to the pond after processing, with a better than 95% capture rate. Production of salable lithium will cost between $3,000 and $4,000 per ton, while market rates price lithium at $70,000 per ton. They know where the lithium is, they know how to extract it, and, as of now, they have an agreement in place to work this giant lithium-rich property. Commercial production is now projected to be in place by the middle of 2024, with buyers already lining up. [Interested?

In July, Evergrande reported a loss of 105.9 billion yuan ($15.7 billion) for 2022, following a loss of 476 billion yuan the previous year. Its total liabilities reached nearly 2.6 trillion yuan at the end of 2021 before falling slightly to around 2.4 trillion yuan a year later. The company is responsible for many of those unfinished cities you read about and see on YouTube. This is devastating news as the defaults may cascade through the Chinese economy. According to Fortune, 70% of Chinese people keep their wealth in real estate. As far as oil prices go, WTI currently trades at $89 and change. We are in a supply crunch with OPEC+ cutting production and global demand picking up. If prices break through $105, we are off to the races.
