Dear Friends:
There is still room to partake in the Klondike Silver www.klondikesilver.com Unit Private Placement.
The Unit Private Placement consists of:
1. A share priced @ five (5) cents;
2. A Full Warrant attached priced at five (5) cents;
3. Importantly, the Full Warrant will be for a period of 5-years.
As I have stated previously, there is not a Company in the world that has a Full Warrant for 5-years. If a person cannot make money in 5-years with a company like Klondike Silver with its phenomenal assets - - - then I will eat my hat.
Especially after I read the Pregin essay noted below, I will continue to buy into the Klondike Silver Private Placement!
Private capital tracker Preqin says in an report, that contrary to expectations, 2018 was another bumper year for the industry, particularly for natural resources investments.
Fundraising by unlisted funds for investment in natural resources – oil and gas, timberland, farmland, water and mines – set a fresh record in 2018, totalling $93 billion, and is likely to top $100 billion as more data becomes available.
Preqin’s analysis shows energy-focused funds (really only oil and gas as investments in coal have dried up) accounted for almost all of the year’s activity as 77 funds raised $89 billion. The vast majority of these funds targeted North American oil and gas plays.
However, Capital raised for investment in mining and metals was up significantly compared to last year - - - outstripping the money raised for farmland and timberland combined, however, Private Capital still makes up only a small percentage into natural resources.
As of June 2018, the latest data available, natural resources managers hold a record $238 billion in so-called dry powder (funds ready to be invested).
Mining and metals fund managers hold $6 billion in dry powder. These funds also hold $16 billion of investments in the Natural Resource sector that still has to be exited.
There are 13 funds in the market currently targeting the Mining Sector, seeking a combined $4.6 billion capital from so-called limited partners which include sovereign wealth funds, public and private pension funds, foundations, family offices and other entities.
Preqin, which has been tracking global private capital flows since 2003, counts only 50 active fund managers focused on metals and mining (compared to 751 focused on oil and gas).
If all the firms seeking fresh capital are successful in obtaining capital commitments from investors (unlisted funds that closed last year took on average 17 months to do so), 2019 could equal 2012, which was the peak year for mining fundraising.
Some of money secured by the 22 funds in the market classified by Preqin as diversified natural resources funds, may also end up being applied for mining and metals projects.
Returns from natural resources have averaged just under 7% per annum between 2005 and 2015 compared to 10%–12% for the other asset classes. At the same time Preqin says, the risks entailed in investing in natural resources funds – as measured by the standard deviation between fund returns - - - place it on a par with real estate and private equity.
Mark O’Hare, CEO of Preqin, says performance in absolute terms for the natural resources sector “has undeniably been disappointing for several years,” but “the primary motivation for investors allocating assets to natural resources is not to seek high absolute or risk-adjusted returns, but rather to find uncorrelated assets and diversification for their portfolios.”
In addition, says O’Hare, returns from private natural resources funds “compare favorably with public indices, and investors accordingly express the intention to allocate more to the asset class.”
Of the investors surveyed, 28% are looking to commit more capital to natural resources funds in 2019 than they did in 2018, and over the longer term, 29% intend to increase their allocation to the asset class. As for performance, 77% of investors surveyed believe 2019 performance will be better than or the same as 2018.
Private capital includes traditional private equity such as buyout, venture capital and turnaround funds, distressed debt and direct lending, private real estate, infrastructure and natural resources funds, and sovereign wealth and hedge funds. Investors in these funds include foundations, public pension funds, family offices, insurance companies, endowments and other institutions.
The global private capital space has experienced rapid growth over the last decade, and last year 1,733 private capital funds raised an aggregate of $757 billion, down from the record $925 billion raised in 2017.
Dry powder across all strategies now totals an eye-popping $2.1 trillion. Preqin forecasts further growth of alternative assets; from $8.8 trillion in assets under management in 2017 to $14 trillion in 2023.

Although the Martin Armstrong Artificial Intelligence (AI) named Socrates has the astounding ability to forecast coming events it is not foolproof.
Or is the question does Marty not always interpret the Socrates AI correctly.
This incorrect Interpretation by Marty is what probably occurred more than two (2) years ago when he stated at his World Economic Conference (WEC) that at the end of the 1st Quarter 2019, Gold would go below $981.50.
I continue to believe that Gold will move below $1,000 and then go below $981.50.
However, - - - this did not occur before the end of the 1st Quarter of 2019.
Consequently, I believe that the Martin Armstrong Interpretation of Socrates was wrong when stated by him at that WEC two years ago.
By the way, when this down movement to $981.50 occurs, I also continue to believe that that Gold will very quickly go above $981.50 again and move up to $5,000 or more.
The David Erfle essay that I wrote about last week in his Blog post “Has a False Move Lower in Gold Just Begun?”, supports that the down move in Gold is imminent.

This past week the Dow and S&P 500 were trading Up all week while the Nasdaq only had 1 Down Day on Thursday. We continue to believe that these Indices will continue in the Green and Trade upwards for the foreseeable future. Consequently, you should continue to buy US stocks.

My Take:
As Martin Armstrong says: “We have gone past the point of no return. We now require structural change and FAST!!!!!!!”
My Take:
I continue to recommend you attend the World Economic Conference in Rome on May 3 and 4, 2019.
As Marty said: “The conference will focus specifically on forecasts for all the major markets including the euro, pound, U.S. dollar, and Swiss franc. What’s coming also has significant implications for gold, silver, oil, and other commodities. I’m also going to give the latest update on the set up for what I’ve been calling the “Trade of the Century”.
We’ve entered uncharted waters, and to be blunt, your best bet to both survive and thrive will be to take advantage of our computer’s forecasts. In Rome, I’ll get a chance to answer more of your questions as we get ready for this period of historic change.”
My Take:
As Marty says in this essay: “Perhaps the best hedge is paper dollars that you hide someplace. Gold will survive long-term. But don’t count on it being available during the period before the crash and burn.”
Yes, have an amount of Paper Dollars hidden away in your Home in a favorite hiding place because - - - when the Crash and Burn occurs you will be glad you did!
My Take:
German Investors must get their Investment money out of Germany ASAP.
As I have stated previously, US dollar denominated Stock Investments continue to be an option.
