Over 800,000 residential units are currently proposed or approved across the City of Toronto, with the highest concentration of height and density planned in the Downtown Core. A look at the city's future skyline:
When in doubt, zoom out. I havnt sold a single share, i’ve been buying here. Who’s with me? $HG $HGRAF
In a stunning breakthrough, electrons in graphene have exhibited behavior long considered impossible by physicists. At the material's Dirac point—a critical electronic state where graphene is neither fully a metal nor an insulator—the electrons cease behaving like individual particles and instead flow collectively as a nearly perfect quantum liquid. This strange fluid is extraordinarily smooth, with a viscosity so low it rivals the ultra-hot plasma that existed in the early universe or is recreated in modern particle accelerators—far smoother than any known behavior in ordinary solid matter. The most shocking discovery: heat and electric charge decoupled completely, resulting in the largest violation ever observed of the Wiedemann–Franz law. This fundamental rule, which has held for over a century in all conventional metals, states that heat and electrical conductivity should move in lockstep. In graphene's quantum fluid, however, the ratio deviated by more than 200 times from the expected value. This makes graphene far more than just a wonder material—it serves as a remarkable laboratory for exploring extreme quantum phenomena once thought observable only in black holes, quark-gluon plasmas, or the conditions inside massive particle colliders. Beyond its fundamental importance, this ultra-clean, highly responsive quantum behavior could lead to revolutionary applications, including next-generation ultra-sensitive sensors capable of detecting minute electrical or magnetic fields with unprecedented precision.

Sparc are only small, but this shows how far and wide $HGRAF graphene can and will be sourced and used. The market is simply enormous and the jurisdiction doesn’t matter. Onwards and upwards.
I spoke to a guy who one could call a military expert on the Straight of Hormuz. Can't divulge his name or any more for concern he will be recognized, but he says we are seriously hosed. FWIW.
These intermediate degree corrections serve to clear sentiment and build the fuel for the next leg up. They usually unfold as either a sideways churn or a scary ABC correction. In the churn scenario sentiment is cleared by frustrating traders. They have the memory of the good times where price was moving higher and they want that to return quickly. In the churn it takes up to several months to create the fuel (lots of negative sentiment and doubt) for the next leg up as traders get more and more frustrated and then finally become convinced this s**t is never going to move, and they go looking for something else to trade. That's of course when the asset breaks out and the next leg up begins. The scary ABC correction is different. It creates maximum fear and pain but it does it relatively quickly in a matter of 5-10 weeks. These kind of corrections build the fuel by scaring the crap out of traders when the C-wave breaks the A-wave pivot and makes a lower low. Traders become convinced the bull is over and you get a huge surge in volume as dumb money retail and hedge funds panic out right at the bottom. But there is always a buyer for every seller, and the buyers of this panic are the smart money traders. The people that know the fundamentals haven't changed and that this is only a normal sentiment reset to build the "fuel" for the next leg up. This kind of intermediate correction can and usually does spawn a slingshot move back up. That is a very rapid and aggressive rally that quickly gets overbought preventing timid traders from re entering until they finally FOMO in after many percentage points have passed. We haven't had one of these scary ABC corrections in metals in a long time. We are finally getting one. Once we get that final "puke" moment (probably sometime next week) metals (and the stock market) will be set up for a slingshot move back to the all time highs and on to new highs, and in the case of metals big new highs. Below is an example of a slingshot bottom in the stock market. This is not the time to puke your shares/oz./contracts to the smart money right at the bottom. Hang on so you catch the slingshot move back up. smartmoneytrackerpremium.com
Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.
