Experts say that they might have 18% of all the world's metals.

Prof G Markets
Is Imperialism Good for Your Portfolio?

And if you compare it to the US, we've got only 2%.

Prof G Markets
Is Imperialism Good for Your Portfolio?

And then you compare it to China, which has almost 50%.

Prof G Markets
Is Imperialism Good for Your Portfolio?

And this has been such a big piece of the US-China fight

Prof G Markets
Is Imperialism Good for Your Portfolio?

the rare earth element conversation where we thought that we had leverage over China and then we suddenly realized, oh wait, they've got this thing called rare earth elements and it's really important for electronics and for weaponry and for energy, all of these things that are strategically critical for the US and perhaps Greenland is a way to catch up with them.

in these invasions, but I think what gets him over the line is when someone says to him, hey, by the way, see this area?

Prof G Markets
Is Imperialism Good for Your Portfolio?

There's 300 million barrels of oil in it.

Prof G Markets
Is Imperialism Good for Your Portfolio?

And the same thing happens with Greenland.

Prof G Markets
Is Imperialism Good for Your Portfolio?

By the way, look at this gigantic number, at which point it becomes no longer a question.

Prof G Markets
Is Imperialism Good for Your Portfolio?

Maybe it was a question before, maybe we were thinking about it, but now that I see how much money I can supply, and also the story that I can tell,

Prof G Markets
Is Imperialism Good for Your Portfolio?

Prof G Markets
Is Imperialism Good for Your Portfolio?

The idea that I can... And he's now beginning to tell that story.

Prof G Markets
Is Imperialism Good for Your Portfolio?

He now is actually talking about the oil and how rich we're going to get from it.
