* I refrain from tagging the four energy-cos and several additional companies, one a diversified operator of renewables, for instance, another a major defense company, and so on, that I have no intention of including in reports.
Thank you.
*August 20 2025 update: I sold my shares of the 2x Bitcoin ETF, BITU, for a small profit. (Proshares Ultra Bitcoin). I am using available funds to increase my holdings of CEF, the Sprott-run gold and silver repository and closed-end fund. (Sprott Physical Gold & Silver Trust)
