Magic Markets #205: A year of gold, bitcoin and the US

Magic Markets2024-12-11T22:20:57+02:00

In our final free show for the year, we look back on a year that has been dominated by gold and bitcoin, along with US equities that have shot the lights out. We consider a strong finish for China, along with the ongoing disappointment of Europe. And of course, we talked about the positive surprise of South Africa this year and how political change can drive investment returns. As we look forward to another exciting year in the markets in 2025, this is the perfect way to cap off the Year of Elections worldwide.

Magic Markets Ep70: Crypto Arbitrage Update

Magic Markets2022-04-07T00:30:21+02:00

Long-standing Magic Markets listeners will know the Future Forex team. They introduced the concept of crypto arbitrage to us, a process of making profits on Bitcoin pricing differences between South Africa and offshore. Instead of taking a view on Bitcoin itself, this allows you to generate arbitrage profits and enjoy an interesting and potentially lucrative source of income each year. You may not know this, but your annual offshore investment allowance under South African Reserve Bank rules is an asset that you can tap into every year.

With the help of Future Forex CEO Harry Scherzer, hosts The Finance Ghost and Mohammed Nalla (Moe-Knows) unpack the opportunities of crypto arbitrage as well as the latest news in the crypto space.

Magic Markets Ep35: Sell-offs and Sell-outs

Magic Markets2021-09-07T12:09:59+02:00

There were some big moves in the market this week, including an interesting situation where both equities and yields dropped in the US, which wasn't nearly the "sell-off" that many referred to. Still, that's an unusual combination and is one of the talking points in Episode 35 of Magic Markets. Hosts The Finance Ghost and Mohammed Nalla (Moe-Knows) also discuss technical levels and sentiment around Bitcoin, as well as thoughts around knowing when to sell winners. But first, the focus is on the new Satrix Inclusion and Diversity ETF, which supposedly looks at ESG metrics but still manages to include the likes of Sasol and [...]

Magic Markets Ep8: Our Crypto-nite

Magic Markets2021-09-07T12:10:16+02:00

The world of investments is dynamic and ever-changing. Industries rise and fall. So do asset classes. The base principles remain the same though, especially regarding diversification and a need to do your research before investing. With this in mind, we felt it would be wrong to completely ignore the world of cryptoassets. Although we are by no means piling money into Bitcoin at this stage, this asset class is gaining institutional acceptance and is worth looking at more closely. In Episode 8 of Magic Markets, we have an initial discussion around crypto and some of the more interesting trends around this [...]
