The Hidden Forces Behind Markets: Why Volatility Suddenly Explodes
Over the last three weeks, we’ve explored some of the hidden forces that drive markets.
We started by learning that prices don’t move simply because a stock is cheap or expensive. They move because of liquidity. When there are more buyers than sellers, prices tend to rise. When there are more sellers than buyers, prices tend to fall.
We then looked at how institutional money influences markets. Large funds can spend weeks or even months building or reducing positions, creating sustained buying or selling pressure that often drives long-term trends.
Last week, we explored why gaps happen overnight. New information changes what investors are willing to pay for a share, and the opening auction process helps establish a new equilibrium price before the market opens.
But what happens when the market can’t easily agree on that new equilibrium price?
What happens when thousands of investors suddenly realise they are positioned for the wrong outcome?
That’s when volatility explodes.
The market thinks the metals bull market is over. Here’s why I’m not convinced.
The biggest mistake investors could make right now is assuming the precious metals bull market is over. Gold has fallen more than 20% from its January highs. Silver has lost over 40%. Platinum has suffered a similarly painful correction.
The biggest tech companies in the world are raising cash – Should you be worried?
When a company raises cash by issuing new shares, it’s usually treated as bad news. Dilution. Desperation. A signal that something is wrong. But what if the largest, most profitable tech companies in the world are all doing it at the same time, and the reason isn’t weakness, but the opposite?
From Investing to Positioning: Understanding Positional Trading
Last week we explored the four traditional styles of investing: value, growth, income, and quality. Those approaches are designed to compound capital steadily over long periods and form the backbone of long-term portfolios. This week, we move one step further along the strategy spectrum and introduce positional trading. It sits between investing and shorter-term trading, retaining structure and discipline while placing more emphasis on timing and market behaviour.
The hidden AI Boom: Why metals, not code, are the REAL gold rush!
If you think the AI revolution is all about software, GPUs, or flashy chatbots, think again. The real backbone of this trillion-dollar boom isn’t digital…it’s physical. It’s metals. And if you ignore them, you’re missing the story that could define the next decade of investing.
Scaling Into Trades: The Myth of the Perfect Entry
Every trader dreams of nailing the perfect trade, buying at the bottom, selling at the top, and walking away untouched by drawdown. It is a seductive fantasy, fuelled by hindsight charts, trading influencers, and the belief that precision equals profit. But the truth is that the perfect entry does not exist. Professionals do not chase perfection; they build into positions. The secret is not timing the turn but scaling with discipline and letting the market prove you right.
Choosing Your Style: A Deeper Look at the Four Traditional Investing Approaches
Last week we started the conversation around different investing strategies, specifically focusing on the four main ‘styles’ of investing that exist. This week we’re looking at these styles in more detail.
Meta’s billion-dollar “TPU” move could ignite a new AI arms race!
Back in June, I wrote a MoneyMorning article titled “This could soon become the hottest AI chip on the market!”. It was all about Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) – a custom-built chip designed for one thing and one thing only: running AI models at lightning speed. Here’s what I said then…
Investing Strategies: Value investing and the power of mispricing
Some investing strategies are timeless – and this one has quietly created fortunes for the world’s greatest investors. Benjamin Graham invented it. Buffett and Munger perfected it. Sir John Templeton executed it brilliantly.
What type of trader are you?
There are thousands of trading strategies out there, many completely different from one another, many surprisingly similar, and almost all capable of producing strong results in the right hands. The catch? It’s rarely the strategy that fails. More often, it’s the trader.
The K-shaped economy — here’s why it affects your money
You’ve probably seen the headlines: the global economy is “recovering”, markets are climbing, and confidence is returning. But if you speak to ordinary households or small-business owners, you hear a very different story — pressure, rising costs, and a recovery that somehow never seems to reach them. This isn’t a contradiction. It’s a sign of the world we’re now living in: an economy that no longer rises and falls together, but instead splits into two very different paths – the K-shaped economy.
Myth vs Reality: Three Trading Assumptions That Hold Traders Back
Most traders enter the market with confidence, optimism, and a few ideas they picked up online. The problem is that many of those ideas are not just wrong but they actively work against you. With a massive uptick in self-proclaimed trading guru’s, there is a rise of “fake news” and myths about trading being shared online.
The scramble for copper is ON – And this small cap might be the most overlooked player in the game…
The world’s largest miner, BHP, has now tried twice to take over Anglo American – and both times, the motivation was the same… Not diamonds, not PGMs, not coal. Copper. The metal that sits behind everything from EVs and renewable energy to AI data centres and upgraded power grids.
