"Once Treasury market Bubble will start bursting, where all these money will go?

Inflation is a function of printing press, credit expansion. Higher prices will come as a result of created money chasing the same amount of goods. Here is our Gold and Silver play as a store of value.

If these liquidity flood will find its ways into one tiny, but very important sector with Trend starting factors in place we will have our Elvis moment there. It will be pockets of Growth and magic word here is "Low Base". Growth from this place is Explosive by definition. We call it Next Big Thing - Bull market, when "Cool Factor" is multiplied by "Big If".

Tiny sector is Lithium and REE, Trend is Electric Cars and "Low Base" - there is no mass market for them yet, but they are ready and going into production (picture gallery Cool Electric Cars). We will throw few words and couple of figures to get you started..."

Finally this junior has a capital to match its Green Energy ambitions. Overnight TNR Gold became cash rich Gold-Copper-Lithium-REE play with a strong balance sheet - time is to work its magic on developing the properties. Now institutions and funds will be able to invest in this company once financial statements will reflect this capital infusion. "Project rich, but cash poor" status will be a distant memory from now on. And insiders are buying more ... we can not come with any negative explanation for this. Consolidation stage will be over very soon with ILC preparing for spin out to provide a Focused Lithium Exploration and development investment opportunity.

Please do not take anything as an investment advise here as usual.
