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.

Trump’s Five Biggest Moves Yet

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

Strange Things Are Happening With Gold

These stories explain why gold is not just money but is the most politicised form of money.

They show that while politicians publicly disparage gold, they quietly pay close attention to it.

The first strange gold story involves Germany…

Is China about to crash? Here’s your answer…

Why do you care again? Because a healthy China makes for a healthy Australia, especially in the mining sector. We run a strong trade surplus with China. And with iron ore still flirting near US$80 a tonne, there’s millions pouring into selected Australian pockets.

Invest in Cryptos Before the Next ‘Super Spike’

There are over 984 cryptocurrencies in existence now. More are coming to market every day. And many are shooting higher and higher each and every day. In fact, Bloomberg reports that one trader recently made over $200 million in one month. How is that possible?

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?

The ‘Tormented Bull’ Trade We’re In Now

We also have US stocks hitting fresh highs again overnight (our time). Of course, you also have to be wary when everything looks rosy. That’s when the market can deliver a nasty shock.

But I’m in agreement with US Goldman Sachs analyst David Kostin. He said he viewed a major correction in stocks as unlikely because there’s a total absence of investor euphoria.

Kostin says investors are torn between scepticism and optimism, and calls them ‘tormented bulls’.

The War on the US Dollar Could Crash Stocks

I’m sure some people in the mainstream media think I’m out of line — but the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have both confirmed this plan to replace the US dollar is real.

I’ve made this warning many times, but it seems to be falling on deaf ears. That’s why I’m writing directly to you.

Here’s an example that the US dollar is under attack, right in front of our eyes:
