Greetings once more. Quick question. Is the content on Pickaxe and Silver Academy mostly the same? Do paid subscribers need to have a paid subscription to both to ensure they are getting all content? I note in the free versions the bulk of content provide via Silver Academy and Pickaxe are very similar. So is the same true for paid subs.
I don’t have any issues paying for both if there is unique content on both. But I don’t want to pay for both if there is no reason to do so. Thanks.
When you see duplicates it because of a cross-post which is like a retweet (sort of) substack is a bit wonky and I'm more of a writer than some technical platform figure outer person
hi, thanks for your question. Generally it works like this. Pickaxe (geopolitical, economic, cultural, historical) Silver Academy (silver, miners and undocumented uses of silver) . There is some overlap. For instance, do you put an article about CBDC under economic or silver? both really. Glad you like Pixy - Here she is in 4 videos , this site just went live today and get the ssl certificate by tomorrow (guess that means its more secure ) Shes in videos with KUYA, Dolly Varden, Summa and Blackrock and we have her soon with others like Scottie and Outcrop as soon as we can pull he out of her infinity pool. She loves swimming hence her slight figure. - here is that link - http://www.mineralwealth.me/minerals
Ok. I finally got around to paying for a subscription after lurking for a bit. The content is stellar. And I’m in love with Pixy.
This morning I added Scottie Resources to my holdings. I also added shares in West Red Lake and Summa, both of which I already owned before I started following you all. I don’t have the liquidity to add all of your ideas (well I have it, but I’m keeping my total equity exposure across all categories at 25% or below) but I will likely do some more research and choose a couple others.
And, not unexpectedly and akin to every one of my junior resource firms (except as noted below) the additions are already in the red for the day, and certainly for the time I have owned them.
One exception is Radisson Mining $RMRDF. While it is down 2.3% today, YTD it is up nearly 10%. Stellar performance, given that my other holdings range from -2% to -45%.
My dad died 2 years ago at age 96. He was an avid coin collector, a sometimes stacker, and he had an IRA that he used to invest in Jr Miners. I inherited that, kept most of what he had in there as a legacy, sold a couple of -80s, then added a few of my own. No doubt he is turning over in his grave at how bad the market is. I’d love to be able to ask him whether he would be continuing to hang on, even though the portfolio is down nearly 50% since I got it. And to think that in March of 2021 it was up 22% I thought he was a genius…now that it’s down 60%+ from the highs his genius designation is on hold. LOL.
But, the beauty of the inherited IRA is threefold. 1. Zero of my own Capitol. 2. 10 year timeframe before it needs to be emptied (and I’m slowly emptying it already to avoid paying taxes when it eventually turns around. 3. Despite the losses it reminds me of my dad every day. I sure miss his counsel.
Oh yeah. I’m 68. Timeline is essentially forever. Lol. I used to own Hecla. Don’t recall why I dumped it. I’ll take another look. I think my dad bought it based on recommendation from my son, who lives in Bozeman. His wife’s father is a geologist and works with a lot of mining firms.

Here is a typical pickaxe type post that wouldn't be written on silver academy

Copy. That is very helpful. Yes, now that I go back and look I do see the frequent cross posting. Thank you. Eric

Got it. Thank you. Sounds like paid sub to both, which is fine. Thanks for the link.

Keep up the great work. Eric V. S/V Blessings.
hang in there, it will roar back, they are generally down about 55% and will get it all back. Hecla is strong too.
