Will Rebel Satoshi continue growing explosively to deliver impressive returns in 2024? Continue reading to discover! What Is Rebel Satoshi, and Why Are Investors Hooked on It? Rebel Satoshi is an upcoming meme coin that follows the rebellious spirit of Satoshi Nakamoto and Guy Fawkes. To be precise, the Rebel Satoshi project prides itself on being the leader of a movement that seeks to introduce a new era of decentralization that offers the little guys power over centralized crypto entities. As part of this mission, Rebel Satoshi aims to rouse the sleeping sheep and unite them through a spirited community. Through this community, Rebel Satoshi believes it can raise a $100 million market cap for its native $RBLZ token. Through this goal, the Rebel Satoshi team intends to show crypto bigwigs that the silent majority is tenacious when united. $RBLZ plays a significant role in Rebel Satoshi because it doubles as the ecosystem’s governance and membership token. This means $RBLZ offers investors access to all Rebel Satoshi features. These include the Rebels NFT Vault, an NFT marketplace for trading digital collectibles, a staking program, and an interactive P2E game. Additionally, Rebel Satoshi supports zero-tax buying and selling on its platform, explaining why investors are buzzing about its promise. However, this is not all.

As of December, Rebel Satoshi was in Warriors Round 2 of its ongoing presale. The price for $RBLZ during this round is $0.018. Thus far, investors that purchased $RBLZ at $0.010 during the Early Bird Round have realized an 80% ROI. Meanwhile, Rebels Round 1 investors that bought $RBLZ at $0.013 have enjoyed a 38.46$ ROI. Interestingly, Early Bird Round and Rebels Round 1 investors are awaiting more gains. Once $RBLZ surges to its listing price of $0.025, Early Bird Round investors will get a 150% ROI, and Rebels Round 1 investors will see their $RBLZ investments swell by 92.30%. These projected returns make Rebel Satoshi the best ICO to invest in. On the other hand, Warriors Round 2 investors will bask in a 38.89% ROI when $RBLZ reaches its listing price of $0.025.

Gaucho Holdings (NASDAQ: VINO) Welcomes Advisors Doug Casey, Michael Koh To Board As Company Prepares For Expansion In Wake Of Political Changes In Argentina

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga The global luxury market is witnessing growth in light of a resurgence of social interactions and travel. The global luxury market is expected to reach $1.6 trillion in 2023, witnessing 8-10% growth over 2022. Despite macroeconomic challenges, the luxury market has shown remarkable resilience, and companies like Argentina’s Gaucho Group Holdings (NASDAQ: VINO) which focus on luxury industries may be poised for expansion and continued sustainable growth on the back of overall market growth – Gaucho Holdings seems to be gearing up for growth with the recent announcement of key additions to its board. Gaucho Holdings is a rapidly growing, e-commerce-driven public holding company that operates a portfolio of experiential luxury brands and real estate assets. The company focuses on leading market sectors and has built a collection of luxury assets with a foundation of real estate holdings. The company owns Algodon Fine Wines, Algodon Wine Resort and Algodon Wine Estates within the spirits, hospitality and luxury real estate sectors, respectively. It also manufactures and markets luxury leather goods and accessories. The company has positioned itself as a premier investment opportunity in Argentina, showcasing to international investors Argentina's wealth of resources and opportunities. The company has recently expanded its team to bolster strategic initiatives and promote further growth. It announced the appointment of Doug Casey, a best-selling author, world-renowned speculator and libertarian philosopher, as the Lead Business Advisor for their Argentina Investments. The company expects this strategic move to greatly improve its strategic vision and drive its expansion in Argentina's fast-growing luxury real estate market. Doug Casey's extensive experience and deep understanding of the Argentine market make him an ideal choice for this advisory position. He has historically characterized Argentina as 'the cheapest civilized place on earth' and will likely provide the company with a unique perspective on the country's economic potential and investment opportunities. His insights are especially valuable given the recent political shifts in Argentina, which Gaucho Holdings sees as not just a change, but as an opportunity for economic revival and investment expansion. Sharing his thoughts on the recent policy shifts Casey explained, "If Milei’s reforms stick, within a decade, Argentina could become the most prosperous country in the world. Look at what Pinochet’s limited reforms did for Chile. It changed from a backward mining province into the most advanced and prosperous country on the continent. Milei’s reforms could transform Argentina into both the freest and the most prosperous country on the planet. Argentina has many advantages... It’s the perfect country whose only real problem is its insane government. But that’s about to change. If he succeeds, I think there will be a rush of millions of Europeans who will see that Argentina has got everything that Europe does—including the favorable aspects of its culture, but none of the disadvantages.” In addition to Casey’s appointment, the company also announced the appointment of Michael Koh, the founder of a highly respected real estate property management and consulting firm in Argentina, to their Advisory Board. Michael Koh is a prominent figure in the Argentine luxury real estate industry, known for his forward-thinking approach. As the managing partner and founder of Koh Investments, he established ApartmentsBA, a real estate property management and consulting firm in Argentina which was acquired by Luxury Retreats in 2010. Mr. Koh also co-founded and led fypio, a real estate software company that promoted technological integration within the sector and is used by Rocket Homes (NYSE: RKT). Currently, Mr. Koh is driving the development of an innovative real estate portal called Casa Libre™, which is scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2024. The company expects the platform to revolutionize the Argentine real estate market by offering advanced features such as 3D floor plans and video walkthroughs. Following its launch in Argentina, there are plans to expand into Mexico. "Reflecting on my years in Buenos Aires, I often imagined living in Argentina's golden era,” shared Michael Koh. “I've experienced its beauty, got married, and raised Argentine-born children here. I love this country and am excited about its future. I feel confident Javier Milei will lead us back towards prosperity. With rich resources like beef, corn, and lithium, I believe Argentina is on the cusp of realizing its true potential, offering promising investment opportunities along the way." Earlier in November, Argentina elected right-wing libertarian Javiar Milei as president; he ran on the promise of economic shock therapy, which resonated with voters. Gaucho Holdings has been investing in the Argentinian market since 2007, and the recent additions to its team reflect an understanding of how the election will affect economic growth.

How Technical Analysis Reveals Fundamentals to Price Values

TechniTrader

A large part of my work over the last 25 years has been to teach my students and show the CMT and members that technical analysis is not a separate entity from the fundamentals of a company. Relational Technical Analysis is the new way to use stock charts, candlesticks, support and resistance, and trend patterns to determine where and when you should trade or invest in a stock based on FUNDAMENTAL values. Fundamental Values from the chart help you determine the relationship between the stock’s current price or value and the company’s fundamental value. That may sound impossible but it is easy to learn how to identify where fundamentals are in relation to a stock’s price. This is because the largest Buy-Side Institutions, which I call “the Dark Pools,” control over $100 trillion in assets worldwide and this number climbs as the US stock market rises in value. The giant Buy-Side Institutions use Quantitative Analysis to determine the “best price” for accumulation of a stock over time based on the company’s fundamental value, growth potential, new technologies, reinvention or creation of a new product that will be broadly popular, along with the CEO/CFO and the strength of the management team. Using a stock chart, fundamentals are revealed by the Dark Pool Buy Zones that are created any time a Giant Buy-Side Institution, or several, are accumulating stock of a specific company or a group of companies. Dark Pools are not only Giant Mutual Fund companies but also the Giant Derivative Developers who create ETF units to sell on the public stock market exchanges. ETF unit building is what is driving the major US indexes upward in the final quarter of 2023. The indexes have been rising steadily and into speculative mode as the retail groups suddenly realize the stock market, which they think of in terms of the 3 major Indexes–Dow 30, NASDAQ 100 and S&P 500–is moving up strongly since late October 2023. ETF demand has been very high late in 2023 as more retirement accounts offer ETFs based on the major indexes as an alternative to a standard index fund. Dark Pools who manage Mutual Funds focus heavily on fundamentals. When their buying in accumulation mode occurs, the patterns on individual stock charts reveal the price range at which they decided the stock was a good buy. The determining factor is fundamental analysis. Is the stock below its fundamentals in price based on Quantitative Analysis? Or is the stock at or near the current fundamentals of the company? Or is the stock higher than its current fundamentals. The Dark Pools have more information and knowledge about the companies in which they invest than anyone else in the market because they hold millions of shares of stock in each company. They visit and research the company far beyond just earnings reports. They usually accumulate a stock well ahead of the earnings season, which indicates that the company’s next earnings report will be above the rest of the market’s expectations–those infamous “analysts” who attempt to guess what the company will report based on previous statements by the CEO. Dark Pools do not rely on earnings reports or CEO statements; they investigate thoroughly. And they are already well postured for the 4 th quarter earnings season to close out 2023. Thus, now is the time to study stock charts to find the companies who will be reporting stronger earnings than retail analysts are estimating. That information is embedded in the stock chart, where Dark Pools have been quietly acquiring stock within a set price range. The Dark Pools generally use time weighted average price order types, and there are many types of these professional orders. With time and price, the accumulation trigger is based on the range of price that is determined to be at or below the current price. Entries are made slowly over time, with pings on price, NOT volume as retail and smaller fund managers who use VWAP order types believe. To see the fundamental levels on a stock chart requires Relational technical analysis using Spatial Pattern Recognition Skills, which give you the ability to see the narrow price range in which Dark Pools are buying slowly over time. Spatial Pattern Recognition is a skill that anyone who uses technical or fundamental analysis needs to learn. It is not hard to learn, and it opens up a huge hidden world: the professional side of the market, which constitutes over 80% of all the market activity every day. 300 billion dollars exchange hands in the US market every day. Thus, learning to identify Quiet, Hidden or Rapid accumulation over time on a stock chart and being able to see that price is above or below or at the fundamental levels for the next earnings season is mandatory for all investors and traders to learn. When you have this skill, you can improve your ROI, and your trading profits for monthly income go up even more.

Europa Oil & Gas CEO on "tremendous chance of success" in Equatorial Guinea

Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) PLC

Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) PLC (AIM:EOG) chief executive William Holland speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the exploration and production company announced the acquisition of a 42.9% interest in Antler Global, which in turn owns an 80% stake in the EG-08 gas asset offshore Equatorial Guinea. Holland says that the venture, strategically chosen for its geological and geographical familiarity, along with strong in-country connections, represents a compelling value with a high risk-reward balance. Adjacent to a Chevron-operated gas field, the asset includes three gas prospects totalling 1.4 trillion cubic feet (TCF) and Holland suggests they each offer a 60-70% chance of exploration success. Holland emphasises the unique seismic response of these sites, boosting the probability of economic discovery to over 90%. He says the project, requiring an estimated $40-50 million investment, is particularly attractive for major oil companies to farm into due to its high-quality data, clear seismic responses, and proximity to existing infrastructure. Holland credits the deal's success to Europa's strategic relationships in the industry. The company aims to farm out the operational aspect, focusing on other prospects at deeper levels within the license, which hold further potential. This strategy aligns with Holland's broader vision for the company, which includes ongoing projects in the UK and Ireland. Contact Details Proactive UK Ltd +44 20 7989 0813 uk@proactiveinvestors.com

Mineral & Financial Investments "always cautious" but sees plenty of opportunity in 2024

Mineral & Financial Investments Ltd

Mineral & Financial Investments Ltd (AIM:MAFL) chief executive Jacques Vaillancourt speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive London after the release of audited results for year ended 30 June 2023. Vaillancourt starts by giving an overview of the results, highlighting a 26.5% increase in net asset value (NAV) to £9.4 million, with a NAV per share growth to 24.27p, showcasing a consistent 29.1% annual growth over the past five years. The investment portfolio, valued at about £9.1 million, also saw an 18.7% increase. Vaillancourt highlights their success in outperforming benchmarks like the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index and the FTSE 350 Mining Index. A notable challenge for the company was a £300,000 loss due to foreign exchange (FX) fluctuations. However, a key boost to the NAV came from a revaluation of their Redcorp investment, increasing its value from approximately $2.2 million to $3 million. This adjustment was based on a feasibility study and a newly negotiated put option, providing an exit strategy for their Lagoa Salgada stake, potentially valuing it at around $6.1-$6.2 million. In strategic terms, Mineral & Financial Investments maintains a diverse portfolio, including precious metals, base metals, food, energy, tech, and a small position in diamonds. The company's strategic portfolio has grown by 35-36%, with a 65% increase in cash holdings, amounting to £800,000. Vaillancourt also mentioned new investments in ESG auditing firm Digby and Golden Sun as part of their strategic growth. Despite global economic challenges, Mineral & Financial Investments Ltd has managed to maintain a strong performance, with Vaillancourt expressing a positive outlook for precious metals in 2024. He also pointed out the current undervaluation in public mining markets, suggesting potential opportunities. Contact Details Proactive UK Ltd +44 20 7989 0813 uk@proactiveinvestors.com
