Magic Markets Ep180: Home Country Bias

2024-06-19T14:28:59+02:00

Home country bias is a real danger for investors. We tend to buy the brands we know, rather than taking an objective view on a global opportunity set. Global context is beyond important, particularly when you've had the benefit of engaging with investors and professionals in deep pools of capital like Europe and North America. In this episode, Mohammed Nalla and The Finance Ghost take advantage of recent travels to discuss how the South African market differs from global markets like the UK and America. For any investor serious about global wealth creation, this is a valuable discussion.

Magic Markets Ep98: Answering Listeners’ Questions

2022-10-19T22:08:42+02:00

We love engaging with our audience on Magic Markets. This week, we asked on Twitter for people to send through their questions. Other than the classic “when moon?” for crypto (which we opted to ignore), there were great questions around our portfolio strategies and position sizing. We also answered fun questions like what we would go back and tell our 20-year-old selves. With a mix of solid investment insights and some light-hearted fun, we loved recording this episode and we hope you enjoy listening to it.

Magic Markets Ep70: Crypto Arbitrage Update

2022-04-07T00:30:21+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. The content of this podcast is for information purposes only and does not constitute [...]
