Magic Markets #222: The Long and the Short of Day Trading

Magic Markets2025-04-30T12:17:06+02:00

Our very own Mohammed Nalla thought that the recent tariff volatility would be an excellent opportunity to dust off the day trading strategy that worked pretty well during COVID. Unlike the average Instagram influencer, we are all about authenticity here at Magic Markets - and that's why Moe bravely volunteered to dedicate a show to his learnings from the strategy and specifically why it didn't work out as well this time around. The markets are hard and day trading is even harder. This show is packed with insights and an honest look at just how tough it is, even for those who are experienced. As for our resident Ghost, he's only too happy to keep wearing his "investor" (and occasional swing trader) hat - especially after hearing these day trading stories!

Picking stocks is one thing, but how do you bring all the pieces together to create a sensible portfolio that meets risk and return objectives?

To discuss portfolio construction, Craig Antonie of AnBro joined us on this show. Craig has built portfolios with growth, yield and quality themes, so his insights into this process are invaluable.

Magic Markets Ep93: Macro Markets Mayhem

Magic Markets2022-09-14T22:32:43+02:00

The US CPI print was slightly different to market expectations, though you would never say so based on the mayhem that ensued. The sell-off was brutal, hitting tech stocks the hardest. Risky assets (like the rand) also took a knock. In this episode, we discuss macroeconomic concepts not just around inflation in the US, but also around China and Europe. For bonus points, we also touch on South African companies that have exposure to Europe. Magic Markets is your invitation to be part of the dealing room conversations that are usually closed off from public ears. Join us and learn! [...]
