I see the term “reflation” being used a lot now . What does it mean in layman’s terms? Thanks Ian
Hi James and MM team,
Thanks for new website and I found podcast with Peter O’connor very informative.
From your discussion with Peter, am I to take it that gold (and related equities such as NCM, NST, GOR, and EVN are beneficiary of the expected rising bond yields? (Not looking for comment on these individual stocks).
Banks will also benefit?
On-line artist portal RBL has really only fallen in-line with the tech sector as a whole. The company is growing revenue fast, in Q1 of the current financial year growth was close to +120% while margins also rose, a nice combination.
I like your thought process at scanning the defensives when most are ignoring them, Hamish Douglass already has ~50% weighting, a play we like but think he may have migrated a touch early.
As bond yields awaken from their slumber we believe the tech space definitely needs to reconsidered very carefully as volatility continues to rise.
As we mentioned in an earlier question we like WSA but would simply advocate accumulating the $2 region instead of going in the SPP.
Really enjoying the look and feel of the new website! I would appreciate your view on ASX:DW8. Having a market cap around $130 M it’s most likely something you won’t cover but I would be interested to get your technical view.
Hi James, thanks for the commentary, warts and all. Its refreshing away from all the spin. I have held BHP for a long time thru thick and thin. Its 8% of my portfolio with RIo at 5% and FMG at 3%. Should I do reduce BHP or RIO? Away from Banks & Resources, which sector should I be looking at?
Thanks & Regards

The ASX200 futures are a derivative of the underlying index and as the chart below illustrates they track the index extremely closely. The contract size is calculated by simply multiplying the index by $25 hence in the chart below its $25 x 6734 = $168,350. For the investor / trader this an extremely simple and efficient way to trade / play the underlying index i.e. for every 40-points the index moves you simply make or lose $1,000.
