Hi, Merry Christmas, thanks for the ongoing work throughout the year and good luck with the new venture.
Another one for your view on American natural gas. Henry hub futures and spot prices
The price has gone vertical over the last two months, sitting at multi year highs. Can you give your views and opinions please, as I must be missing some detail.
I understand the concept of demand through northern hemisphere winter, along with higher US exports due to Europe coming away from Russian gas and need for more energy and coal phase out, however, from what I can see, supply is higher than ever, inline with demand, storage inventory is above 5 year average, the energy requirements and coal phase out is well known and future prices trending lower across later contracts.
I’m actually in a short and sweating on the position I hold on the spot cash price as I’m looking at the massive clear space above $5 if it breaks above; which is looking like a strong possibility even before the weekend. This is one of my worst read trades and have clearly missed something in my analysis.
Thanks, Simon
Hi guys,
I noticed PMV drop 13% Friday even as they announced a buyback. Can you give your thoughts on the reasoning and whether it represents an opportunity? Much appreciated.
Hi Market Matters Team
Your last view on ZIP was – “…..buyer under $3 if did not own it”
Is this still your view after ZIP lost over 10% on Tues?
I’ve read – ” Zip dropped 10.7% amid uncertainty over a US inquiry into whether buy-now-pay-later providers comply with consumer-protection laws. ” Are you concerned? How could this impact ZIP in the US? Is it a hold on ZIP or still a buy under $3?

Are there any emerging market ETF on the ASX and if so what are they?
Can you please give a brief summary of your opinion on each and which do you think is best?
Thank you
Hi James and team,
Thank you for your insightful market views and strategies in particular portfolio positioning discussions, ETF Fridays, deep dives and Shaun’s trade ideas.
With the AUD rising and expected to do so with RBA holding rates and Fed cutting, what would be a good strategy for reducing exchange rate loss for holding US stocks? Or would it be better to repatriate funds back to AUD and utilise the ETFs for major indices with hedged and unhedged options (eg. IVV, NDQ, QUAL etc.). What would be your views on the AUD/USD trend in the medium term?
I also found your deep dive on APA and DBI very informative. It seems that both have long term issues affecting their values. What would be your recommendation for long term dividend/growth stocks for retirement income/intergenerational portfolios?
Finally, copper prices are still rising notwithstanding being stretched. Would it be too risky to top up holdings now and if so what would be a good price level to do so?
Many thanks as always.

Hi James & Team,
Hi! James, what is your thoughts on PLS, a lot of platforms are saying it’s a sell, should we hold on?? Also has gold gone to high to buy from a risk point of view, As a general question do u feel there is going to be a major correction in western economy’s in the near future due to excessive debt levels, or just a normal correction. There is a lot of talk re USA debt to GDP of opprox 100% but Japan it is 260% and they have not collapsed. I know you don’t give financial advice , your gut feeling? Thanks for your daily reports, As a loner they are perfect for me. I need a different perspective to prevent myself going into La La land.
Hi James & Team,
Can I have your thoughts on TPG now that the capital return/dividend @ $1.61 has been paid. Would you take up the reinvestment offer they recently released? Thank you
