Before you buy a small-cap, three checks that take less time than making a coffee:
🔺Is a private placement unlock coming?
Companies sell discounted stock to early money. That paper is locked up until it isn't. When it unlocks, it can be sold straight into the market. The date is public. Most buyers never look.
🔺Have insiders been buying or selling?
An option exercise is compensation. An open-market purchase is an executive putting their own cash in at market price. One is routine. The other is information.
🔺What's the community sentiment?
Comment volume, page visits and sentiment analysis, tracked next to price. A crowd warming up before the chart turns is worth knowing about. So is one quietly losing faith.

North America’s five most valuable gold companies have lost almost $140 billion in combined market value from their 52-week highs, with Agnico Eagle alone accounting for more than $40 billion.
Gold fell as much as 3.2% to $3,891.67 an ounce on Friday, its weakest in a year, and is on track for a drop of about 6% in October, its worst for the month since 2008.
Bullion trades about 28% below its record close of $5,419.83 on January 28.

HSBC expects silver’s market deficit to shrink from 140 million ounces in 2025 to 5 million ounces this year, and to widen only to 12 million ounces in 2027.
Mine supply, scrap and recycling are all rising while industrial and jewelry demand fall.
Large-bar buying from China and India is recovering and ETFs are “starting to rebuild,” but the bank says those flows are not large enough to power a strong new rally.
Its year-end targets are $70 for 2026 and $65 for 2027, and it does not expect silver to challenge $100 again anytime soon.
Silver falls below US$50 for the first time since November 2025, having peaked at $121.60 in January.
Six recent calls on silver:
• HSBC sees $70 by the end of 2026 and $65 by the end of 2027
• UBS sees $70 by December and $80 by September 2027
• Reuters poll of analysts sees an average of $66.75 in 2027
• Motilal Oswal sees a $50 to $65 range over the next six to 12 months
• StoneX expects silver to underperform gold
• Metals Focus expects gold to outperform silver over the next six months, though silver could catch up if global conditions stabilize

This week’s guest, Charles Funk, pitched a $50 million market cap copper explorer with $20 million in cash, a company he chairs.
It’s drilling in the biggest copper district in Canada and delivering over 1% copper grades.
Its historic resources are about 30% higher grade than the mine four kilometers away.
He says it’s fully financed, with potential to go through a mill next door if successful.
