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.
Free Trading Tools (Part 2): The Exact Setup I Use
Last week, we covered what traders actually need to succeed and where to find those trading tools, for free. The message was simple. You don’t need expensive software to trade well. You need the right tools, used in the right way.
After 59 Years, the UAE just walked out on OPEC. Here’s why it matters…
Recently the United Arab Emirates (UAE) did something that would have seemed almost unthinkable a year ago. After 59 years of membership – since Abu Dhabi joined the cartel in 1967 – the UAE announced it is leaving OPEC, effective May 1.
Trump has put the US energy grid on a war footing! And these 5 companies stand to benefit the most…
On April 20, President Trump did something that hasn’t been done since the Cold War era: he invoked the Defence Production Act to declare America’s energy grid a matter of national defence.
Free Trading Tools (Part 1): What You Actually Need – And Where to Find It
There’s a common belief that successful traders win because they have access to expensive institutional tools and complex systems. That’s not true. In most cases, institutions are not even watching the same things retail traders obsess over. The real edge comes from understanding what trading tools you already have and using them properly.
Could Cerebras looming IPO “Out-Chip” Nvidia
Cerebras Systems. Founded in 2015 in Sunnyvale, California, Cerebras was built by a team of semiconductor veterans – several of whom held senior engineering roles at AMD, Nvidia’s biggest GPU rival. From day one, they set out to solve a problem that had been quietly frustrating the AI world for years: standard chips, no matter how powerful, are small. AI models are enormous. And making thousands of small chips talk to each other quickly enough to train or run a cutting-edge model is messy, expensive, and slow.
Their answer wasn’t to make a better version of what already existed. It was to throw out the rulebook entirely.
Morgan Stanley just flagged the real bottleneck in the AI chip race!
The AI chip boom isn’t going to be slowed down by electricity. It’s going to be slowed down by ABF substrate. The chips exist. The demand exists. The data centres are being built. But if there isn’t enough ABF substrate to package those chips, they simply don’t ship.
What does Sulphuric acid have to do with the price of silver and the SA economy?
Sulphuric acid doesn’t generally make headlines. It doesn’t trend on social media. It’s not the kind of thing that comes up at the dinner table. But it’s critical to the modern economy: copper mining, fertiliser production, nickel extraction, oil refining, and more.
Offshore Trading: When a Strong Rand Expands Your Playing Field
A strong rand can feel like walking into your favourite shop on the exact day everything is on sale. Not forever. Not guaranteed. Just… a window where foreign assets can be “cheaper” in rand terms. With the recent strength in the rand, it makes sense to discuss the opportunities that offshore markets bring to the table.
What can we learn from FirstRand’s expensive UK lesson?
There’s a lesson that South African companies keep having to relearn the hard way: European regulators play by different rules. And they play for keeps. FirstRand – one of South Africa’s finest financial institutions, and a company that has spent years carefully building a presence in the UK consumer finance market – has just been handed a bill so large that it has decided to walk away entirely.
Should you invest in the hottest IPO of 2026?
For the first time in more than 50 years, humans are travelling beyond Earth orbit – looping around the Moon and heading back home. NASA’s Artemis program has officially left Earth, with astronauts aboard Artemis II already executing a lunar flyby and setting distance records never seen since the Apollo era. Now, while the world is focused on the spectacle – the images, the milestones, the emotion – something quieter is building on the ground: A potential IPO from SpaceX that could ride this wave of excitement straight into the public markets.
