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.
From obituary to opportunity… The coal 2026 comeback!
For the past decade, coal has been the fuel the world was trying to forget.
Climate agreements, green energy targets, ESG mandates, net-zero pledges — the entire direction of global energy policy pointed one way: away from coal.
Why is light technology the next big profit opportunity for AI?
Think about the last time you video-called someone. Every pixel of that call – your face, their face, the background – travelled as pulses of light through a glass fibre thinner than a human hair.
Not electricity. Not a radio signal. Actual light, moving at 300,000 kilometres per second, carrying your conversation across the city or across the world in the time it takes to blink.
That’s photonics…
Behavioural biases: Your Strategy Isn’t the Problem — Your Psychology Might Be
This week we begin a new series exploring behavioural biases in trading and investing. These are the psychological tendencies that influence how investors interpret information, take risks, and make decisions under uncertainty.
Why is Gold falling while the Middle East is on fire?
It’s one of the most confusing things happening in markets right now. There’s a war raging in the Middle East. Oil prices are surging. Inflation fears are climbing. Global markets are rattled. And gold – the asset people have run to in every crisis for thousands of years – is falling?
The silicon chokepoint: why the 2026 AI chip shortage is different — and how to invest in it
If you’ve been following markets lately, you’ll know that AI chips have become some of the most valuable assets in the global economy. But as we move through March 2026, the conversation is changing. It’s no longer just about who can build the smartest AI. It’s about who can actually get the hardware to run it. And that requires something like silicon!
A silent shock is building in global fertilizer supply!
Over the past weeks, I’ve spoken about the Strait of Hormuz and how the war is threatening oil and aluminium supply. But there’s another, less obvious story unfolding – one that could ripple through global food prices, farming economics, and agricultural stocks. That is a significant share of the world’s key fertilizer ingredients flows through this chokepoint: roughly 44% of global sulphur, 31% of urea, 18% of ammonia, and 15% of phosphates.
The other commodity casualty of the Middle East crisis
When missiles fly in the Middle East, most people think about oil. But there’s another commodity getting caught in the crossfire… One that quietly underpins modern civilisation, and which just had one of its biggest price weeks in years.
The Iran war’s market shock: Four portfolio moves investors should make now
The shift from a “shadow war” to open conflict in early March 2026 has quickly altered the global economic outlook for the year.
What began on February 28 with targeted U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian security and nuclear infrastructure has escalated into a broader regional confrontation. For investors, the geopolitical risk premium has moved from an abstract concept to a key driver of market performance.
A Tiny JSE Company… and a Lawsuit That Could Change Everything
Most companies listed on the JSE are worth something because of what they earn, what they own, or how fast they’re growing.
But one JSE small cap trading at just 101c a share is worth something almost entirely different: a court case. Randgold & Exploration Company Limited (JSE: RNG) has spent years pursuing a massive legal claim against JSE heavyweight, Gold Fields (JSE: GFI). If it wins, shareholders could make a fortune.
The one AI shift investors cannot ignore in 2026
For years, Artificial Intelligence has in many ways been “the future.” Yes, we marvelled at early generative models that could write poems, create pictures and video or suggest code, but there was always a fundamental disconnect between AI and real work. AI was a destination—a tab you opened, a box you typed into, and a service that waited for you to speak first.
