Hawkeye Systems Inc (OTCMKTS: HWKE) is making an explosive move up the charts after the Company announced it has entered into an LOI to acquire Blue Gold International Limited an entity valued at US $250,000,000, in a share exchange that will result in a reverse takeover of Blue Gold by Hawkeye. The shareholders of Blue Gold International Limited will hold upward of 95% of Hawkeye post-acquisition. This is in effect a reverse merger with Blue Gold International being the surviving public Company. 

Reverse merger stocks can be more explosive than biotech’s when the incoming Company has real value but is undiscovered to investors and we have covered many on the website that have gone from pennies to dollars. In support of the transaction the Company appointed Christopher Mulgrew and James Kerby to the Board of Directors of Hawkeye. During the due diligence period, Hawkeye intends to complete a 1 for 10 reverse stock split and change the company name and ticker symbol. There will be a rebranding of the Company, finalization of the go-to-market plan, recruitment of a new management team, and further modification to the board of directors. Ghana is one of the leading producers of gold in Africa and the seventh leading Gold producer in the world.

Blue Gold is the 90% owner and operator of the Bogoso Prestea goldmine in Ghana, which contains one of the most significant gold concessions in the world-famous Ashanti gold belt. As a diversified gold mining operator looking to acquire other prospective gold properties in Africa and elsewhere, Blue Gold will leverage its significant management expertise and an increasingly robust balance sheet. 

The transaction is subject to due diligence and definitive documentation and is expected, by all parties, to close by October 31, 2022. Hawkeye and Blue Gold intend to complete a $6 million funding arrangement prior to July 31, 2022 which will be invested into Blue Gold and serve as working capital during the due diligence period. Hawkeye has conjunctively terminated all other LOI’s and discussions with alternative opportunities it has been evaluating, as previously reported, as it believes Blue Gold represents the strongest potential upside for its shareholders. 

Hawkeye Chief Executive Officer Corby Marshall commented, “Following extensive analysis, we believe transitioning our strategy to become a diversified gold producer will enable the Company to capitalize on the inflationary and rising interest rate macroeconomic trends and provide the basis for a growing sustainable business. Given the project’s location in Ghana’s historically significant gold area, the Ashanti gold belt we are confident in our ability to build significant long-term shareholder value. The project has produced approximately 12 million ounces of gold since 1912.” 

Dan Owiredu, Chief Executive Officer of Blue Gold, stated, “We are pleased to be reentering the equity capital markets with a primary listing in the US through this transaction with Hawkeye. We actively seek to leverage the equity capital markets at a time of increasing interest in gold, a combination that we believe will also create a strong platform for us to fully develop the proven sulfide resource and the significant unexplored strike.” 

In support of the transaction the Company appointed Christopher Mulgrew and James Kerby to the Board of Directors of Hawkeye. During the due diligence period, Hawkeye intends to complete a 1 for 10 reverse stock split and change the company name and ticker symbol. There will be a rebranding of the Company, finalization of the go-to-market plan, recruitment of a new management team, and further modification to the board of directors. 

Blue International Holdings formed Blue Gold International in 2020 as a platform to acquire high quality long-term mining assets in sub Saharan Africa.  In October 2020 it acquired the gold producing Bogoso Prestea Gold Mine in the Ashanti gold belt in Ghana. Blue Gold owns 90% of the project, with the Government of Ghana holding the remaining 10% interest. Bogoso Prestea has the largest mining concessions (of any mineral) in Ghana, with an 82 kilometre gold strike within the Ashanti gold belt (one of the most prolific gold regions globally).  The Bogoso Prestea concession has 3.3m oz of proven gold reserves and production is expected to reach 70,000 oz in 2022.  Operational and financial performance has improved significantly under Blue Gold ownership. Blue Gold will be seeking to acquire and develop further gold producing assets over the coming years, with a view to a successful stock market listing.

Costco Tells Americans the Truth About Inflation and Price Increases

The warehouse club has seen some troubling trends but it’s also trumpeting something positive that most retailers wouldn’t share.

Published

Costco has been a refuge for customers during both the pandemic and during the period when supply chain and inflation issues have driven prices higher. In the worst days of the covid pandemic, the membership-based warehouse club not only had the key household items people needed, it also kept selling them at fair prices.

With inflation -- no matter what the reason for it -- Costco  (COST) - Get Free Report worked aggressively to keep prices down. During that period (and really always) CFO Richard Galanti talked about how his company leaned on vendors to provide better prices while sometimes also eating some of the increase rather than passing it onto customers.

DON'T MISS: Why You May Not Want to Fly Southwest Airlines

That wasn't an altruistic move. Costco plays the long game, and it focuses on doing whatever is needed to keep its members happy in order to keep them renewing their memberships.

It's a model that has worked spectacularly well, according to Galanti.

"In terms of renewal rates, at third quarter end, our US and Canada renewal rate was 92.6%, and our worldwide rate came in at 90.5%. These figures are the same all-time high renewal rates that were achieved in the second quarter, just 12 weeks ago here," he said during the company's third-quarter earnings call.

Galanti, however, did report some news that suggests that significant problems remain in the economy.

Costco has done an incredibly good job at holding onto members.

Costco Does See Some Economic Weakness

When people worry about the economy, they sometimes trade down when it comes to retailers. Walmart executives (WMT) - Get Free Report, for example, have talked about seeing more customers that earn six figures shopping in their stores.

Costco has always had a diverse customer base, but one weakness in its business may be a warning sign for its rivals like Target (TGT) - Get Free Report, Best Buy (BBY) - Get Free Report, and Amazon (AMZN) - Get Free Report. Galanti broke down some of the numbers during the call.

"Traffic or shopping frequency remains pretty good, increasing 4.8% worldwide and 3.5% in the U.S. during the quarter," he shared.

People shopped more, but they were also spending less, according to the CFO.

"Our average daily transaction or ticket was down 4.2% worldwide and down 3.5% in the U.S., impacted, in large part, from weakness in bigger-ticket nonfood discretionary items," he shared.

Now, not buying a new TV, jewelry, or other big-ticket items could just be a sign that consumers are being cautious. But, if they're not buying those items at Costco (generally the lowest-cost option) that does not bode well for other retailers.

Galanti laid out the numbers as well as how they broke down between digital and warehouse.

"You saw in the release that e-commerce was a minus 10% sales decline on a comp basis," he said. "As I discussed on our second quarter call and in our monthly sales recordings, in Q3, big-ticket discretionary departments, notably majors, home furnishings, small electrics, jewelry, and hardware, were down about 20% in e-com and made up 55% of e-com sales. These same departments were down about 17% in warehouse, but they only make up 8% in warehouse sales."

Costco's CFO Also Had Good News For Shoppers

Galanti has been very open about sharing information about the prices Costco has seen from vendors. He has shared in the past, for example, that the chain does not pass on gas price increases as fast as they happen nor does it lower prices as quick as they sometimes fall.

In the most recent call, he shared some very good news on inflation (that also puts pressure on Target, Walmart, and Amazon to lower prices).

"A few comments on inflation. Inflation continues to abate somewhat. If you go back a year ago to the fourth quarter of '22 last summer, we had estimated that year-over-year inflation at the time was up 8%. And by Q1 and Q2, it was down to 6% and 7% and then 5% and 6%," he shared. "In this quarter, we're estimating the year-over-year inflation in the 3% to 4% range."

The CFO also explained that he sees prices dropping on some very key consumer staples.

"We continue to see improvements in many items, notably food items like nuts, eggs and meat, as well as items that include, as part of their components, commodities like steel and resins on the nonfood side," he added.

'Kevin Caved': McCarthy Savaged Over Debt Ceiling Deal

Update (1345ET): The hits just keep coming for Speaker Kevin McCarthy, as angry Republicans have been outright rejecting the debt ceiling deal which raises it by roughly $4 trillion for two years, doesn't provide sticking points sought by the GOP.

In short, Kevin caved according to his detractors.

Some Democrats aren't exactly pleased either.

"None of the things in the bill are Democratic priorities," Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) told Fox News Sunday. "That's not a surprise, given that we're now in the minority. But the obvious point here, and the speaker didn't say this, the reason it may have some traction with some Democrats is that it's a very small bill."

*  *  *

After President Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) struck a Saturday night deal to raise the debt ceiling, several Republicans outright rejected it before it could even be codified into a bill.

Here's what's in it;

  • The deal raises the debt ceiling by roughly $4 trillion for two years, and is consistent with the structure of budget deals struck in 2015, 2018 and 2019 which simultaneously raised the debt limit.
  • According to a GOP one-pager on the deal, it includes a rollback of non-defense discretionary spending to FY2022 levels, while capping topline federal spending to 1% annual growth for six years.
  • After 2025 there are no budget caps, only "non-enforceable appropriations targets."
  • Defense spending would be in-line with what Biden requested in his 2024 budget proposal - roughly $900 billion.
  • The deal fully funds medical care for veterans, including the Toxic Exposure Fund through the bipartisan PACT Act.
  • The agreement increases the age for which food stamp recipients must seek work to be eligible, from 49 to 54, but also includes reforms to expand who is eligible.
  • Claws back "tens of billions" in unspent COVID-19 funds
  • Cuts IRS funding 'without nixing the full $80 billion' approved last year. According to the GOP, the deal will "nix the total FY23 staffing funding request for new IRS agents."
  • The deal includes energy permitting reform demanded by Republicans and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV)
  • No new taxes, according to McCarthy.

Here's McCarthy acting like it's not DOA:

Yet, Republicans who demanded deep cuts aren't having it.

"A $4 trillion debt ceiling increase?" tweeted Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA). "With virtually none of the key fiscally responsible policies passed in the Limit, Save, Grow Act kept intact?"

"Hard pass. Hold the line."

"Hold the line... No swamp deals," tweeted Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX)

"A $4 TRILLION debt ceiling increase?! That's what the Speaker's negotiators are going to bring back to us?" tweeted Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC). "Moving the issue of unsustainable debt beyond the presidential election, even though 60% of Americans are with the GOP on it?"

Rep. Keith Self tweeted a letter from 34 fellow House GOP members who are committing to "#HoldTheLine for America" against the deal.

"Nothing like partying like it’s 1996. Good grief," tweeted Russ Vought, President of the Center for Renewing America and former Trump OMB director.
