When the Bankers Tremble at Artificial Intelligence

Get used to hearing about machine learning and artificial intelligence. They’re going to seep into everything.

Here’s one example…

What the ‘Long Boom’ in US Housing Means for Australia

The US has enormous tailwinds behind it. And these winds will blow into the Australian market too.

But they will begin in a strong US housing market, which we’ll be tracking.

I expect all this to be very good for US banks.

The Amazon Investment Jackpot Is Happening Now

This is exactly the Amazon Investment Jackpot case I laid out, which is playing out right in front of us.

It’s not going to end tomorrow. It could keep runnning for years. Even if Amazon’s Aussie website is not flying in the next two months, it will happen in the near future and everybody knows it.

How to Play the Odds in the Crypto Casino

We’re living in the crypto casino now. The total value of cryptos fell 11% over the weekend. This wiped off billions in the valuations of all of them.

Why? Who knows. Maybe traders ran a big sell program to shake out the weak holders so they can buy them back cheap.

Maybe it’s the end of a massive bull run. 

The Era of the Drone

Some Australian beaches will soon have drones monitoring the water, equipped with artificial intelligence and on the lookout for sharks. The drone will send a live camera feed back to an operator, and software will scan it with an accuracy way beyond the human eye. There are all sorts of interesting applications for drones in many different countries.

Earnings Propaganda to Fool Investors (Again)

The fact that earnings projections are low doesn’t necessarily mean that Aussie stocks can’t rise from here. The index will rise before any positive earnings lift becomes obvious.

What people don’t realise is that there’s a way gold can be used to work around a debt ceiling crisis if an agreement isn’t reached in the months ahead. I call it the weird gold trick, and it’s never been discussed anywhere outside of some very technical academic circles. It may sound weird, but it actually works. Here’s how…

Trump’s Five Biggest Moves Yet

The next Fed head will have a lot on his or her plate.

Invest in Cryptos Before the Next ‘Super Spike’

The Elites Are Privately Warning about a Crash

Many everyday citizens assume powerful global financial elites operate behind closed doors in secret conclaves, like the scene of a Spectre board meeting in the recent James Bond film.

Actually, the opposite is true. Most of what the power elite does is hidden in plain sight in speeches, seminars, webcasts and technical papers. These are readily available from institutional websites and media channels.

When the ‘Bad Bank’ Turns Prime

The Bank of England is getting jumpy about inflation. Previously, the central planners were saying not to expect a rate increase in the UK until 2019.

Now they’re changing their tune. Their warning rates might rise faster than the market was pricing in. The pound rose and UK government bonds sold off late last week.

A rate rise might be as soon as November. But how far and how fast?
