China’s latest AI model shakes up the market yet again!
Remember DeepSeek? The chinese model that matched OpenAI at a fraction of the cost and wiped $600 billion off Nvidia’s market cap in a single day. Well, it just happened again. At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, a Beijing startup called Moonshot AI unveiled Kimi K3.
RSA Retail Bonds vs Fixed Deposits: Which one is best for you…
Walk into any conversation about safe income investing in South Africa and two names come up immediately: RSA Retail Bonds and fixed deposits. Both are widely regarded as safe. Both pay a fixed interest rate for a fixed term. Both are readily available to retail investors. Most people treat them as essentially interchangeable and pick whichever has the higher number on the day they invest.
That’s the wrong framework. Because once you look at what each product actually pays – after SARS takes its share, at different marginal tax rates, across different terms – the comparison produces results that most investors have never seen laid out clearly.
And there are specific investor profiles where the conventional choice is almost certainly costing money.
AI Agent: How to profit from the $58 Billion disruption!
You know what a chatbot does. You ask it something. It answers. You ask again. It answers again. The conversation is yours to drive and the AI is a passenger. Now, an AI agent is something entirely different.
What three things can traders do to improve their results 2026?
The first is to commit to a clearly defined strategy. This means knowing exactly what setup must be present before you enter a trade. It means knowing where you will exit if you are wrong, and where you will take profits if you are right. If your rules only exist in your head, they will disappear the moment emotions rise. Written rules create boundaries, and boundaries create consistency for traders.
Venezuela, Oil, and the $1 trillion reality check…
In the early hours of January 4, 2026, the world woke up to a seismic shift in global politics. Operation Absolute Resolve, a bold US military action, culminated in the removal of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from power. Markets reacted instantly. Social media lit up. And almost on cue, the same claim flooded X and trading desks everywhere (particularly from Americans): “Venezuela is back. Oil is about to flood the market. Canadian oil can be replaced.” That’s where the story goes off the rails.
Day Trading: Operating at the Sharp End of the Market
Last week we explored swing trading, a trading method focused on capturing short-term price movements over several days to a few weeks. Swing trading introduced faster decision-making, tighter risk control, and a heavier reliance on technical structure. This week, we move to the most active end of the spectrum and examine day trading. This approach compresses time frames even further and demands precision, discipline, and focus.
2026’s big AI bottleneck (and profit opportunity)…Power!
Everyone thinks the AI boom is about chips. Faster chips. Bigger chips. More chips. But that’s already yesterday’s problem.
The real constraint is power (electricity) – and that quiet shift is about to reshape energy markets, revive nuclear power, and open a rare opportunity for everyday investors.
Why JSE small caps offer compelling upside in 2026
2025 was the year for large JSE stocks. The JSE All Share Index was up 36% – driven by goldies, PGMs, telecoms and tech. While the Small Cap Index managed just 14.7%. At first glance, small caps seem left behind. But that very gap – the underperformance relative to large caps – could be the setup for a significant rebound in 2026. Here’s why…
Swing Trading Explained: Capturing Market Swings Between Investing and Trading
Last week we explored positional trading as the next step beyond traditional investing styles like value, growth, income, and quality. That discussion focused on medium-term moves and structured discipline. This week we turn our attention to swing trading, a strategy that seeks to capture price movements on a shorter time frame while still relying on technical analysis and risk control.
The biggest IPO to hit the markets in 2026?
Imagine seeing shares of the company that builds rockets, runs global satellite internet and dreams about life on Mars listed on the stock market. That’s the possibility investors have been buzzing about. SpaceX, Elon Musk’s space powerhouse, could go public as early as 2026. If it happens, this would be one of the most talked-about events in markets in years – and potentially the biggest IPO ever.
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.
