This week on ABC Statewide Drive with Jess Maguire, I explained why Bitcoin has surged to fresh record highs and whether it’s truly gone mainstream or just another bubble in the making. I broke down the origins of cryptocurrency, how blockchain removes costly intermediaries, and why central bank money printing and a weaker U.S. dollar are fuelling demand for Bitcoin as a hedge alongside gold. Importantly, Continue…

In a significant step toward revolutionising clean energy production, Rolls-Royce Small Modular Reactors (SMR) has inked a pivotal Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Czech engineering powerhouse Škoda JS.

At the heart of the initiative is Rolls-Royce’s innovative 470 megawatt-electric (MWe) pressurized water reactor design. Compact and efficient, each SMR module measures just 16 meters by 4 meters, yet generates low-carbon electricity equivalent to over 150 onshore wind turbines. Continue…

In this week’s video insight I explore signs that today’s bull market may be showing signs of a bubble. The bulls point to two key observations supporting the markets’s strength. First, market breadth is widening – with more stocks joining the rally. And second, earnings momentum is improving with over 80 per cent of U.S. companies seeing positive earnings revisions. 

While these observations appear supportive on the surface, they can also be read as signs of a maturing bull market edging towards a bubble. Continue…

There is considerable academic and market commentary showing that equity markets often take time – sometimes weeks or months – to digest new information fully.

While Eugene Fama’s efficient market hypothesis posits that prices reflect available information almost instantly, we know that information is not evenly distributed. For example, studies on “post-earnings announcement drift” demonstrate that after companies release quarterly results, share prices tend to drift in the direction of the earnings surprise for an extended period. This implies investors initially underreact. Continue…

Yesterday on ABC Newcastle Mornings with Paul Turton, I shared some thoughts on the roundtable convened by Treasurer Jim Chalmers in Canberra. I discussed the widening wealth gap in Australia and how capitalism, without proper oversight, often concentrates wealth in the hands of a few. Left unchecked, this can destabilise societies and fail to account for environmental costs such as resource depletion and pollution. Continue…

Today, I joined Juliette Saly on Ausbiz to discuss what’s powering Bitcoin’s bull case. I explained that Bitcoin is highly sensitive to global central bank liquidity which has been rising since late 2022. With over US$300 trillion in global debt that requires constant refinancing – central banks are forced to inject liquidity, effectively deflating the U.S. dollar. That’s why Bitcoin, like gold, is increasingly being seen as a natural hedge. Continue…

Most of the time, prices for a security or a commodity trade in fairly narrow bands. Sure, prices trend because information isn’t distributed universally, and it takes time and confirmation for people to buy in or sell out, but on a daily (or even weekly) basis, price ranges and volumes are generally pretty narrow. 

A few times every decade, however, you will experience or witness some truly epic moves over very short periods of time. When you see these, it may be helpful to be positioned with cash and access to research. I am not sure if the latest ‘epic’ move turns out to be one of those opportunities, but I do believe it is worthy of further attention. And like I said, they only happen a few times in a decade.
