The Path Forward: Is a Collapse of the Global Financial System Imminent? A Review of Asset-Backed Securities.
In January of 2022, shortly after the Federal Reserve announced they were going to raise rates and halt QE to combat/adjust for inflation, a bitter reaction in the markets was seen.

A Key Reason SIGA Technologies is Potentially Poised for Massive Growth in the Medium Term
“This is a job for vaccines, not antivirals” “Prevention is more important than treatment.” These are paraphrased statements from overtly bearish individuals towards SIGA. Of course, a mixed response of treatment and vaccine prophylaxis is usually seen in outbreaks of this scale (when it is possible). That said, the complexity and […]
One of the More Promising Oil and Gas Exploration Plays in Africa: IVCTF (Invictus Energy)
Every so often, a potentially undervalued play comes along, due to its potential (and likelihood thereof). We think Invictus Energy could be one of those plays. IVCTF (OTCMKTS) is an independent, Australian oil and gas exploration company with rights to a 360 thousand hectare region encompassing part of northern Zimbabwe. To preface, this is a […]
A Guide for Predicting (estimating) Macro-economic Events and Individual Price Action
The ability to somewhat accurately predict (or rather project/estimate) future events, be it macro or microeconomic, is a powerful tool for any active investor or businessperson. However, this “predictive capacity” should not be conflated with blatant speculation or an attempt at such. Indeed, several things cannot be predicted to any level of accuracy, and therefore […]
Three Reasons Why SIGA is in My Portfolio
Many still doubt SIGA’s prospects. It is a blameless act, as any small-cap pharmaceutical company carries inherent volatility and risks.

Is SIGA Technologies (SIGA) a buy in the face of Monkeypox?
Monkeypox is a pandemic (link). The market may be still pricing this in. Consequently, certain stakeholders may gain in share price over the next several months, as they have in part already. Others will effectively, “pump and dump” in the speculative mania of potential pharmaceutical solutions for an emerging pandemic. As of August 8th, over […]
