Gold’s Wild Ride and Bitcoin’s Brutal Reality Check: The Market Mayhem Speculators Can’t Ignore
Sometimes the market gives you exactly what you deserve – and recently, it handed gold and Bitcoin traders an absolute masterclass in the difference between a rally and a reckoning.
Read MoreRisk Off? Where Are You Going to Run to?
“Risk off?” gets thrown around a lot when markets wobble. The better question this week is a more practical one: if investors are de-risking, where exactly are they going?
Read MoreA Wild Week in Politics and What It Could Mean for Global Markets
The early weeks of 2026 have already delivered a clear message to investors: the global political landscape is becoming more confrontational, less predictable, and increasingly resistant to established power structures.
Read More2026: Hopefully the Year Bullshit Dies!
Ho-ho-bloody-ho! That’s another Christmas behind me. I’m no Grinch – I love Christmas with the family – but like markets, it’s exhausting if you’re actually doing your bit. This year I shared it with both my own family and my in-laws, and it went extremely well. Still, anyone claiming Christmas isn’t stressful clearly isn’t pulling their weight.
Read MoreOpportunities Beyond the Obvious: A Week to Remember and Lessons for What’s Next
A few weeks back, we floated an idea that turned a few heads: sell gold, buy oil. Since then? Golds slipped around 10%, while oil’s climbed about the same.
Read MoreOh, What a Week!
Various markets have been very bloody strong this week, and whilst commentators obsessed over interest rates and employment figures and the government shut-down, investor sentiment remained defiantly positive.
Read MoreMarkets Rally on Rate Cut Hopes Despite Political Uncertainty
This has been one of those weeks where capital markets seem to have their blinders on – focusing squarely on the good news while largely ignoring the chaos swirling around them.
Read MoreFear and Loathing in the UK
Here I am, in a country where there are more pricks in its government than you would find on the average rose bush, a country where the main topic of conversation outside of politics revolves around…
Read MoreWhere Will We Be by the End of Summer?
The sun is shining, the beaches are crowded, and lean, Ozempic-sculpted bodies are strutting in ever-smaller swimsuits – even if the sagging skin tells a different story.
Read MoreNavigating Turbulent Markets: A Cautious Approach in Uncertain Times
Earlier this month, we discussed the upside potential of Bitcoin, gold, and energy – particularly oil – based on the possibility of escalating tensions between warring nations.
Read MoreThis Week – Seen From The UK
I’ll begin with observations on the UK, where my time here has been dominated by nothing but doom and gloom from the mainstream media.
Read MoreAfter the storms of April & May, what’s in store for June?
The turbulence of early April – those chaotic days around the 9th – now feels like a distant memory. So, what lies ahead?
Read MoreTrump’s Dollar Gambit?
I don’t know if people believe Trump’s plans for the USA are misguided, or if they hate him so much, they’re willing to spend billions – or even trillions – to undermine him. Whatever it is, things aren’t going to plan. Or perhaps they are.
Read MoreAre Europe and the U.S. Parting Ways?
While European equity markets are reaching new highs, U.S. markets seem stuck in neutral. Is this a temporary anomaly – or the start of a deeper shift in global capital markets?
Read MoreBack to Pre-Tariff Levels – So, What Now?
I’ve just spent a few weeks in the UK, and no matter how you slice it, the place feels like it’s in decline. I left in 1990, and the downward slide since then has only picked up speed. Under the current left-leaning government led by Keir Starmer – or as I’ve dubbed him, “Stoma” – things are deteriorating even faster.
Read MoreIt’s Weird and Wonderful being back in the UK
I’m currently travelling in the UK, so I’m not glued to a screen 24/7. Although I’m busy, I’m also using this time to take a breather from the markets.
Read MoreWe Know the Goal, but Tomorrow’s Chaos? Anyone’s Guess!
In recent years, I’ve emphasized that significant geopolitical shifts are increasingly shaping capital markets. While some might question why we’re mixing politics with finance (like mixing cheap tequila with poorly thought through speculative decisions…
Read MoreOf all the weeks to get crucified by the markets, Easter might be the most ironic
After all the times I’ve preached about staying unemotional in trades – cutting losses, avoiding the trap of “marrying” a position – I did exactly what I always warn against. I held on too long, didn’t follow my plan, and ended up with losses worse than I had expected.
Read MoreUnless You’re Day Trading, Now Might Be the Time to Sit Tight
This past week, I did something radical – and surprisingly unwise: I held my positions and stayed put while the chaos unfolded. No wild moves, no panic trades. Just patience. Sometimes, doing nothing is doing something.
Read MoreF* the Narrative – Trump Is the Genius the World Needs**
For far too long, globalist politicians and multinational corporations – the elites flying into Davos on private jets to decide the economic future of us mere mortals – have held unchecked power. But that era is ending.
