silver conference aka roadshow for investors in the traditional hotel platzl, munich

there was a looong and quite interesting silvercon aka silver conference aka roadshow of 6 junior mining and/or exploration companies in munich today.

6 companies => 3 hours => tasty lunch => back to my office to finish some stuff today 

avino silver's CEO david wolfin presents his company at hotel platzl, munich

... COMING SOON ....

it was like a deja vu experience for me as i've stopped to join this kind of conferences / road shows few years ago, well before the corona plandemic in 2020 ... why? easy! i've generally lost money when i've invested in this kind of small caps. they usually make roadshows / investors' lunch / investrors' presentations in order to collect money for the next round of financing (they usually issue new stock shares) in order to continue drilling & operating in general sence ...

why did i attend this time? there was 1 company (avino silver) which i like and the show was in the famous hotel platzl in the very center of munich, where i never been in before ... well, i didnt like the hotel at all .. not nice from outside, not nice and not any special from inside ... no nice views out of the windows .. you name it 😄

after all that cons here few pros:

the food / lunch was delicious

the conference room quite nice and okay 

they have had a shoe polish machine 💕in the corridor in their conference area 

so who was here today?

• avino silver (TSX: ASM, NYSE: ASM)
• silver storm mining (TSXV: SVRS) ~ they try to re-open the former 1st majestic silvers (TSX: A, NYSE: AG) la parilla mine in the state of durango, mexico. btw, 1st majestic is the single biggest shareholder of silver storm today
• alta copper (TSX: ATCU) ~ copper project in mexico. i have fee shares of alta already, which i've got after a chain of bankrcupcies / take-overs or M&A ... copper fox, ... my acquisition price is $2.80 and the stock trades at $0.44 today. that means i've lost 84% of the money invested and also tlost the opportunity to invest that money smarter ... => thats what i ment above telling ya i've lost that much money with raodshow companies before ...
• u.s. gold ~ no! it is not the rob mcewen's company ... why not? rob mcewen changed the name to mcewen minig and dropped the old u.s. gold company name and the old website, so luke norman & his team took opportunity to grab it ... an explorer / producer with gold / copper / silver projects in wyoming, idaho and nevada, usa
• tocvan ventures (CSE: TOC, OTCQB: TCVNF, FSE: TV3) ~ a really really small silver explorer in the state of sonora, mexico
• silver one ~ ~ a small silver explorer with projects in nevada, usa ... luke norman is on the board here too

i've bougt few more shares of avino + very few shares of silver storm + u.s. gold + silver one today, just to see them in my portfolio. i dont like to carry watch lists, so i better buy few shares in order to watch their development and do not really comply if the investment gets lost completely, you know?

today was (as reaction to donald trumps tariffs?) a catasrophic crashy day in the markets as silver was down 6%, dow jones 3.98%, S&P 500 4.83%, nasdaq 100 5.41%,m oil 5%, gold 1.5%, ... ... so at least all stocks were cheaper then the day before, wasnt they? 😄

i've placed also a limit order for tocvan resources ... as according to its tiny market cap it seems to display a roadshow effect and the stock will come down after all these roadschows ends ....

zillertalarena, ski, AT

what a wonderful ski experience in the tirolian alps (tuxer alpen) in austria. even if it is just middle of march and i've been quite high, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SNOW (and not enough water) IN THE MOUNTAINS ⛄🌋🌞 ... did we destroyed all climate yet?

the zillertalarena is a ski resort approx in the middle of the zillertal, which means ziller river's valley. my starting point was the village zell am ziller (575m). i was quite early, maybe 9:30 a.m., because it was just a 2:15 hours drive from munich today. the parking place was half empty and there was NO SNOW in the valley. there was also almost no snow all the way up to the middle stattion of the cable car (wiesenalm 1,309m). from here up to the highest ski run hill übergangsjoch 2,500m with its kapauns lift 2,502m came all the snow cannons to their best. in the areas between 1,700m and 2,500m was the skiing fine, ifyou asked me. btw, the other hills around are the karspitz 2,257m, isskogel 2,264m, kreuzjoch 2,558m, königsleitenspitze 2,315m.

the ski areal provides statistics of the day and it was also possible to record a short ski run which i could watch and download later using my ticket number at www.skiline.cc => well, i've had 19 lift rounds + 8,569 height meters + 46.5 km up & down today. as you have to register first, you would also get the stats of all season in associated locations (maybe even in whole austria?). what abt my video? it looks so slow and it was slow because in the late afternoon at PLUS 15 degrees celsius was the snow soft, mushy and heavy. anyway, here we go 😉🎿⛇

enjoy few pictures:

kreuzjoch express aka x-press 2,408m

heaven & hell! leon draisaitl #29 himself? or just a guy wearing his edmonton oilers NHL jersey? draisaitl is at the moment the best german ice-hockey player and one of the best worldwide. he leads the goals scorer stats with 49 goals and just 10 more games to go before william nylander with 42 goals.

cable car wilde krimml 2,498m

what a nice messages, true?

wtf is this ugly thing? arts? i prefer the beautiful clouds, my dears

i'm so close to the skies ☁

what a deep snow run accident! i'had to find and excavate this ski

 some 10-15m higher as my final 'landing position' was 👻

lunch + live tirolean folk music at kreithütte (kleine rosenalm) at 1,700m 

the hanser x-press lift up to 2,246m was my favorite ski run today

the kapauns lift 2,502m and the wilde krimml cable car 2,498m

join at the highest ski run hill übergangsjoch 2,500m

there is a small creek from melting snow + ice, you see?

www.skiline.cc => videos + stats

finito => lets come back to the ziller valley

zell am ziller

next time i'll probably visit the mayrhofen ski arena with its harakiri ski run, which is the steepest piste austrias or maybe the last station in the ziller valley, the glacier ski area in hintertux 3,200m?

as i browse my blog backwards, i see my last skiing in tirol was the wonderful sellaronda round in south tirol, italy in early february. my last skiing in zillertal was the 1st ski areal in the valley (coming from munich), hochzillertal in 2014 (go to link only if you are NOT AFRAID of spiders🐜) 

few more pictures here.

st. patrick's day celebration, munich

what a nice st. patrick's day celebration in munich's ratskeller, the cellar below the town hall. everything was irish like decorated (or just green🍀😇? ) and the party with at least 2 live bands takes part for 4 days ... 

the celebration is more than just the guinness beer + music. but not much more, if you asked me. bread and circuses ... and yes, the spirit is great, people are friendly and (almost?) all folks are happy => enjoy few impressions 😉

bavarian wheat beer vs. guinness? 

here with my one and only guinness 🍺 ...

... i've had many augustiner weißbier (wheat beers), you know?

munich marienplatz, the very city center

munich's beautiful new town hall above the ground ...
