After covering the building of a bull case in the previous week's show, we moved on to the other side of the coin: the bear case. This requires you to think creatively and dig deeper, as management won't dish out these nuggets and make it easy for you. After all, they are incentivised to drive the bull case.
This episode will help you learn where to look for some of the really important points in a bear case.

When assessing stocks, it's so important think about the good and the bad, not just what you wanted to see going into the analysis. The world is grey, not black and white. Nothing is ever fully good or fully bad. By thinking critically about the positives and negatives, you'll improve your investing skills.
In this episode, we cover the type of thinking that goes into our Bull Box in Magic Markets Premium. In sharing our insights on how we develop a bull case for a stock, we hope that it assists in your process and exposes you to the thinking enjoyed by our Premium subscribers.

As the world pays an increasing amount of attention to emerging markets and the concept of the Global South, India's outperformance vs. China remains an interesting topic.

Other than a look at the reasons why India has performed well recently (especially relative to China), this show delves into the services nature of the Indian economy and the opportunities that this brings.

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?

Even with the best furniture inside that house, it doesn’t matter if the whole thing isn’t coherent and built to the right specifications for the owner.
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. For more information, visit the AnBro website.

Investing in stocks is exciting, but also dangerous unless you know how to research them. In this episode, we talk through some of the approaches we take to research, ranging from top-down analysis (finding stocks that fit a macro thesis) through to bottoms-up approaches that include valuation multiples and the power of good ol' common sense. Join The Finance Ghost and Mohammed Nalla in this show and benefit from their extensive knowledge of the markets and experience in making investments - including ones that didn't work out!

As the Nikkei had a terrible day of historical significance and the world held its breath for what might happen on the Nasdaq, those who did the research before the time and had their wishlist ready were in the perfect position to buy their favourite stocks at a sale price. This is the power of having your finger on the pulse of what you want to own and at what price. Only doing that thinking as a crash happens is far too late.
In this episode, we discussed the reasons for the "flash crash" - or is that just a correction? - including an explanation of the yen carry trade. We also worked through how to prepare for the opportunities that a major sell-down presents.

The automotive sector is part of our daily lives, but does that mean it should be in our portfolios? Should the car in your garage drive an investment decision with your money?

With The Finance Ghost having just returned from a trip to the UK, France and Dubai, the opportunity was clear to talk through some of the brands and business models that have been researched in Magic Markets Premium. It's one thing doing desktop research. It's another thing walking through a Sephora store or swinging a club at Topgolf. Mohammed Nalla lives in Canada so he's already had this experience for some time now, leading to an insightful discussion.
And let's not forget EVs, which are always a bone of contention on Magic Markets. Having seen the level of adoption in Europe first-hand and experienced such cars, have the in-house views on EVs changed?

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.

The headlines will often focus on US jobs data, but what does it really even mean? Why should people outside of the US care? And of course, what do all the acronyms mean?
In demystifying the markets and bringing these concepts to the fore, Mohammed Nalla and The Finance Ghost talked through the jobs data and how it impacts central banks around the world. They also discussed the impact on equities in different sectors and how great jobs data isn’t always good news for shares.

Nvidia has been a headline grabber of note in global markets, with eyewatering returns that have left even the other semiconductor stocks for dead. Mohammed Nalla focused on not just the latest results from Nvidia, but the performance of other stocks in the sector.
The Finance Ghost tackled Intuit, covering the growth in revenue across the product range and the importance of integration strategies within the ecosystem. Although this is a powerful SaaS business, the risk of a double top in the share price chart cannot be ignored.

Walmart is a good example of a pullback from the work-from-home trend that became a feature of the pandemic, with many viewing this as a return to the company’s roots. This is seen favourable against a backdrop of improved performance at Walmart.
Under Armour is also going back to its roots, more out of necessity than by design. Founder Kevin Plank is back in the CEO role and has a very tough road ahead, with the company experiencing a sharp drop in sales and needing to reposition its products as premium.

The electrification theme is a rare thing, as it dishes up opportunities for value and growth investors alike. Some are buying coal and others are buying renewables, yet the underlying reasons aren’t as different as you might think.
