MaM = MarchAgainstMonsanto

#MarchAgainstMonsanto is going into the next round ~ next worldwide protest #MaM  :-)

what a great 'konsum rEvolution' event in munch again, this time with real music festival character, food with no-GMO-label, stop TTIP banners, really creative anti-GMO-costumes,  nice people, many friends ... 

well my dears, decide what you buy = vote with you money and yes, stop monsanto = stop GMO wherever you can :-)

btw, this was my short last year's speech :-)

save the bees, the cows, the nature ...

dilemma

save the bees

march through the historic city centre

big brother is watching you

stop EU = save the forests in romania

hey, the london rapper wears the same t-shirt like me? fine, the monsanto protest is global :-)

a native voice from colombia provides alternatives: fair trade coffee & more and you know what? colombia has already the experience what a trade 'partnership' with the USA really is about for approximately 3 or 4 years, if i remember the date correctly 

more pictures here

btw, this was the last year's event

america meets africa? red eagle mining + agriterra ...

the canadian gold explorer red eagle mining with projects in colombia and the pan-african agriculture business company agriterra were presented by cm-equity and gianni kovacevic in one of munich's best restaurants käfer today.

red eagle mining

 source: company website

• colombia, historical gold mines, opportunity because cheap like an unwanted pet 
• first production targeted for 2015
• ...

agriterra

source: company website

• mozambique, cattle, maize, macadamia nuts, bananas, fruits,
• sierra-leone, cocoa,
• makes profit (let's check that in their finacial reports first ...) or just going to make profits?
• trades approximatelly at its cash level
• unfortunately only a AIM london listing, TSX-V listing should come in 2013
• ...

of course, i've welcomed the chance to get some inside information about the war situation in MALI from gianni, who is one of the major shareholders of one of my portfolio companies legend gold which has 3 properties in southern mali and is 80% since my initial purchase. it is down a lot especially for a company which has no debt and doesn't spend any money on its projects (the joint-venture partners do), isn't it?

... more insights? coming soon or never

GRAN COLOMBIA GOLD (GCM.TO)

where did i steal that picture? here: http://www.grancolombiagold.com

investor lunch with gran colombia gold 2day ...

• biggest colombian gold producer (120' ounces a year) and profitable, of course ... and there is some silver as well! not the typical absolute beginners this time, u see? thats fine with me, could be worse, of course
• merged with medoro recently and thus prolly 'provided' a lot of uncertainity among its shareholders
• these guys stock chart is a nightmare ~ from CAD 2 straight down to CAD 0.76 in 7 months
• stupid me, i would prolly get few shares @ CAD 0.78 on 2days market opening but ive waited few minutes for mr. markets directive (up? down? sideways?) => as i saw that the shiny gold was turning up again i decided its time for my pilot buy => fire! well, i got my shares @ CAD 0.8 which is fine, im a long time investor, anyway
• colombia is quite stable, safe and foreign investments friendly country nowadays
• a beauty CEO! btw, she is only 41 and was a colombian ministry of s.th. before ... unfortunately, she didnt presented GCM in munich but will hopefully next time, OMD!
• i liked the presentation a lot cos their geologist + mine operator jose oro (oro? aurum? or? zlato? GOLD!) was a completely different kind of person u woudda expect. it wasnt the professional promoter / salesman who could sell everything 2 everyone. his slow 'spanish' english was also cute 2 hear ... well, u think i could understand a word or two for the very 1st time, dont u? no comments on that even if its true :-) ... nevertheless, im not going to learn english any time soon so u have to suffer reading my gibberish much longer, my dear! lol ;-)
• damn! ive seldom felt that comfortable and was sure the stuff jose spoke abt is 100% true. of course, i could be wrong, but my intuition liked the company + on top my wife told me in the morning not to waste any additional money on mining stocks => so ive rebelled again and bought few shares, subscribed 4 investor newsletter and gonna learn more abt the company in the future ~ the same procedure as usual, isnt it? of course, there will be some difficulties down the road till GCM reaches an yearly production of approx 600-700 ounces (planned in 2016) and esp a significant mine financing in 2013 needed, but i liked what jose told how theyre going 2 manage the upcoming steps, so what? btw, wanna learn a spanish proverb? thats a too big meat for a small cat! huuuuuh? well, that means GCM is going to focus on its 'company making' marmato open pit gold project 1st and advance its promissing mazamorra copper project later in the future ... sounds solid, doesnt it?
• the gold price reached its new all-time-high @ $1593/oz today and my crazy mining portfolio is still approx 10% down YTD. thats just unbelievable! are there only scared idiots who tumble out there in the financial markets? damned hell! shoudda tell ya why i hate investors / traders?
• what abt my other colombian fighters? batero gold is doing well, miranda gold not so well, antioquia gold poor and greystar resources was already shooted out of my portfolio (with a loss) as these jerks didnt get the mine permit recently ... could be better, much better, my dear .... oh heck! my wife is right :-(. but u dont gonna tell her, agreed?
• go god bugs go!

• any other insights? coming soon or never :-)

hasta la vista, colombia ....
