Happy New Year and welcome to 2020.
The last time we entered a new decade, the world was recovering from the 08/09 Financial Crisis.
Since then, the US stock market has repeatedly hit new all-time highs (despite some bumps in the road).
And while we know the turning point in the cycle could be around the corner… we have to remember…

Sometimes taking a contrarian view of a market or investment, can pay off big time…
One of my all-time favourite investors, Benjamin Graham, proved this nearly 100 years - during the Great Depression.
When stocks crashed nearly 70%, Benjamin Graham didn't give up and avoid the stock market.
In fact, he saw this as a perfect opportunity to make money by pinpointing bargain stocks from... ››› more
In November's issue of the South African Investor, I warned readers about two types of “danger” shares lurking on the JSE.
One of these types is called the “High-Yielder”.
Simply these are shares that sit on suspiciously high dividend yields.
You've probably heard me speak about these “income-traps” before, but in the South African Investor, I went further and reveale... ››› more
You can spend a lot of time searching for stocks to buy.
You can study for hours and learn how to analyse stock charts and company's balance sheets. You can spend hours going over financial statements.
But if you're like a lot of people, you don't have the interest or the time. You've got a job and a family, and they keep you busy.
The good news is there's a shortcut around doing all t... ››› more

The investment I'm about to introduce to you is not for everyone.
It can be risky.
But if you're willing to take the risk, there's a handsome payoff for you!
In fact, history shows you could make you a +27% over the next 12 months.
The investment I'm talking about is…
Value stocks!

In April 2019, I warned investors about Rebosis - A JSE listed property company that had a dividend yield of 57%.
You see, at the time, a yield this high was very unusual for a company listed in SA. So I warned investors not to fall for this “high yield investment trap”
And, since then, the company cut its dividend completely and its shares have plummeted from 162c to 32c - around an ... ››› more
Last week, the US Federal Reserve finally cut interest rates again. The rationale behind this move is to help sustain US growth.
Now the quarter-point cut marks the third rate cut this year. And this can be good news for stock investors. In fact, following the latest announcement, US stock markets hit new highs.
But even better….
If history is anything to go by, we could see US stock... ››› more
I don't know if you noticed, but last weekend, bitcoin's price soared from around $7,500 to over $9,600 - a +28% gain!
Many cryptocurrency market analysts pointed to comments made by China's president President Xi Jinping that the country should "seize the opportunity" of bitcoin's blockchain technology, as the reason behind bitcoin's sudden rally.
You see, China banned bitcoin and cryptoc... ››› more
Did you see recently the huge news on the Canadian cannabis front?
Well, on 17 October 2019, derivatives of marijuana — topicals and extracts — that were previously out of the question, were legalized in Canada.
This next stage of cannabis legalisation will create a tidal wave of new profits for cannabis companies.
And in turn reward early investors - who bank on the right compani... ››› more
Here's something you might agree on…
Investing is hard!
If it were easy, I guess, everybody would be rich.
But as investors, we often make it harder for ourselves to make money and grow our wealth - especially when we continuously fall into - often easily avoidable - investment traps.
Today I'm going to share two common ones, and how you can avoid them...

In what was one of the largest 24-hour market sell-offs this year, over $30 billion was dumped from crypto assets.
At one stage, the largest crypto, bitcoin, was down around 20% as its price crashed to a three-month low of just over $7,800.
While, many predicted a huge drop to around $8,000, it was still quite a shock to see it happen.
So what caused the crash and what should crypto in... ››› more
That's what Su Zhu, the CEO of hedge fund Arrows Capital, said after the anti-climactic launch of crypto platform Bakkt.
You see, after the first 24 hours, the exchange recorded only 72 BTC had been entered into monthly contracts.
However, people should not be alarmed by the bleak start as regulated futures contracts mostly kick off slow. Su Zhu continued…

One year ago, the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) - which owns the NYSE - revealed plans to launch a futures exchange and digital assets platform - called Bakkt.

To transform Bitcoin into a trusted global currency with broad usage. More importantly, make Bitcoin a more sound and secure offering for key players in the market who mostly shunned it…

Right now, there's a big misconception in the crypto market.
And it's got to do with circulating supply.
That's the total supply of tokens currently available in the market.
Once investors understand this concept it could lead to another massive price surge in the price of bitcoin.
Let me explain…

I'm sure you've heard of portfolio rebalancing. Almost every investor does it.
It's a simple, but extremely important ‘tool' where an investor periodically buys or sells different assets (stocks, bonds, etc) within a portfolio.
Rebalancing helps reduce the risk an investor suffers from the changes in returns of various investments. And it also helps ‘restore' their desired asset allocatio... ››› more

It's been a decade since bitcoin officially started.
Over this time, it's gained a lot of followers and of course, haters.
Some have called it a revolutionary asset, while others have labelled it, a downright Ponzi scheme.
The thing is, whether you love them or hate them, bitcoin will never die. Demand will always be there - especially in today's world.

Here's something quite interesting…
According to Statista, out of the 400,000 crypto-investors across 46 countries it surveyed, South Africa came in fifth place, as 16% of the population said they used or owned cryptocurrencies.
Yes, you could argue it's a small study. However, it still reveals an increasing interest in cryptos from South Africans.
In fact, because of the rising dema... ››› more
