Not long ago, artificial intelligence (AI) felt like something out of a sci-fi flick. Fast forward to now, and it’s woven into the DNA of how modern businesses and investment firms operate. AI isn’t coming – it’s already here – and it’s shaking up the investing world in a big way.
Read MoreOne of the most common questions we get from new investors is this: “Should I be buying individual shares, or is it better to invest in an ETF?” The short answer? It depends on your time, goals, and risk appetite.
Read MoreOne of the most important questions you can ask yourself as a market participant is deceptively simple: Am I a trader, or am I an investor? While both groups operate in the same financial markets, their goals, tools, and temperaments often differ significantly. Understanding where you fall — and why — can make the difference between building a strategy that suits you or constantly fighting against your own instincts.
Read MoreWhen you’re starting out as an investor, the usual go-to options are stocks, ETFs, and bonds. These are tried and true, and they form a solid base for any portfolio. But, as we talked about last week, they don’t cover the whole investment universe. That’s where alternative assets come into play — think hedge funds, private equity, real estate — and yes, commodities.

What exactly are base metals? Think copper, lead, zinc, tin, nickel… These, however, weren’t the top answer. The answer was in fact…
For decades, precious metal bulls have complained that paper markets have manipulated the prices of gold and silver.

The only way to combat this “manipulation” is if every buyer had custody of their own gold, which, not many buyers do.
Interestingly, these dynamics seem to have recently changed…and fast!
Right now, the US and its allies are at “war” with China. Not the military kind…but a tech war.

Read MoreThe uranium price may be down this year, but my long-term bullish outlook on uranium hasn’t changed… In fact, I’m more bullish now than ever! After all, the number of countries and companies looking to adopt nuclear power continues to soar. And that ultimately means one thing…
Read MoreDonald Trump’s US election win has not only been great for stocks, but the dollar too. But a surge in the dollar has weakened critical metal prices, thanks to the negative correlation between the dollar and commodity prices plus Trump’s tariff threats on China – a country that dominates commodity markets. So, does that mean you should ignore commodities in 2025?
Read MoreBillionaire CEOs have been aggressively selling their own shares. So far in 2024… Amazon’s Jeff Bezos share sales total more than $13 billion… Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang has raked in a $713 million windfall… Palantir’s CEO Alex Karp’s sold over $177 million worth of the company’s shares… And it’s not only CEOs!
Read MorePan Af, Pan African Resources (JSE: PAN) has been one of the best performing JSE-stocks so far in 2024 – up over 100%. It’s also been a stellar performer in the Red Hot Penny Shares portfolio. Of course, there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation for the company’s rally.
