Walker Lane Gold Trend Area Walker Lane has established a solid position in the Walker Lane Gold Trend Area which has a rich history of mining and exploration and remains vastly underexposed to modern exploration methods, offering substantial upside potential.

Was Jim Cramer Right to Defend Salesforce (CRM) After Its Post-Earnings Collapse A Year Ago?
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. In those older episodes, Jim Cramer addressed the sharp 20% post-earnings drop in Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM). In the first segment, he broke down the company's disappointing earnings report and explained why the stock's after-hours collapse may have been overdone. In the following episode, he widened the lens to discuss broader weakness in the enterprise software sector but reiterated his long-term belief in Salesforce's quality and resilience. Here are his comments from back then: 'What the heck just happened to the stock of Salesforce? That's the king of customer relations management software. After the close, Salesforce reported a genuine miss. Several key lines were weaker than expected—revenue, operating margin, current remaining performance obligations—although the earnings per share number actually came in better than expected. […] A customer service team in an office setting using the company's Customer 360 platform to communicate with customers. Cramer remained a long-term believer and said to buy on weakness — a good call as the stock is up +12.62%. Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM) is the world's leading customer relationship management (CRM) platform, offering cloud-based tools for sales, marketing, service, and analytics. Cramer remains a big believer in Salesforce. Here's his analysis from a recent episode which aired in June: 'How come I'm sticking with this one?…. Look, I can't dispute that the growth of the core business is slowing here, but that's, I think, simply the law of large numbers… I don't care that old Salesforce is seeing slower growth because it's also seeing a significant increase in profitability. People are treating this like it's an ailing revenue growth story, and that's why they bought in Informatica to kind of hide it. But it's increasingly become an earnings growth play, and the earnings growth is excellent, and Informatica doesn't worry me. Overall, CRM ranks 1st on our list of stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. While we acknowledge the potential of CRM as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

ADAR1 Issues Statement on Keros Therapeutics' Troubling 2025 Director Election Results and Insufficient Capital Return Proposal
Significant Withhold Votes from Directors Mary Ann Gray and Alpna Seth Underscores Need for Change and a More Disciplined Capital Allocation Strategy AUSTIN, Texas, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ADAR1 Capital Management, LLC (together with its affiliates, "ADAR1" or "We"), the largest stockholder of Keros Therapeutics (Nasdaq: KROS) ("Keros" or the "Company"), today issued the following statement regarding the results of the Company's 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"): "We believe the outcome of the Annual Meeting underscores what we have consistently conveyed to Keros' Board of Directors: there is broad and growing concern among stockholders regarding the Board's capital allocation decisions and fidelity to stockholder interests. ADAR1 previously disclosed its intention to withhold votes from Dr. Mary Ann Gray and Dr. Alpna Seth at the Annual Meeting. These two directors received among the highest level of shareholder opposition of any directors standing for election in 2025. In our view, this result reflects a substantial loss of stockholder confidence in the Board and clear dissatisfaction with the status quo. With only approximately 34% of outstanding shares voting to elect Dr. Gray and only 37% voting to elect Dr. Seth, the Board must recognize the widespread dissatisfaction with its stewardship of the Company. We appreciate the Company's recent decision to discontinue development of cibotercept in pulmonary arterial hypertension and, finally, implement a reduction in headcount. While these delayed actions are directionally positive, they are wholly insufficient and, in our view, are overshadowed by the Board's baffling decision to return only a modest portion of the Company's excess capital to stockholders. We can think of no credible justification for the Company to retain approximately half of its cash balance given its limited clinical pipeline and commercial prospects. In fact, at an investor conference today, CEO Jasbir Seehra acknowledged that the capital being held exceeds what is needed to fund the Company's current DMD program and may instead be used to pursue other high risk, hyper-competitive indications. Even more troubling is the lack of detail around the proposed capital return ― including the Board's failure to specify the terms, timing and method ― despite its claims to have completed a "thorough" and "comprehensive" review of strategic alternatives. In our view, this reflects a haphazard and incoherent approach to decision-making. In order for the Board to follow through on its stated commitment to maximizing value, it must take immediate and concrete action to reduce costs more aggressively, commit to returning $475 million (i.e., an additional $100 million over the currently proposed amount) to stockholders through a special dividend by the end of Q3 2025, and ensure that stockholders can directly capture the potential cash flow from the Takeda partnership through a contingent value right or similar mechanism, which should be implemented no later than year-end. ADAR1 continues to believe Keros possesses significant upside potential. But realizing that potential will require fresh perspectives in the boardroom and a disciplined, investor-focused approach to capital stewardship. Shareholders have spoken and the current directors do not have the support of a majority of shareholders. If the Board nevertheless insists on clinging to a failed strategy, ADAR1 will not hesitate to hold it accountable, including by nominating new directors for election at the 2026 Annual Meeting. We are committed to ensuring that the will of investors is not ignored, and we will continue engaging with the Company and our fellow investors to see that the desires of stockholders are heard and respected."
