The Good Morning Report – 14th November

5 Things that Grabbed my Attention

1.  38 million ounces (Moz) of SILVER was removed from the LBMA in October alone....There is nothing wrong with demand! BUY ETPMAG

2. ANZ CEO Shayne Elliot said credit losses are likely to increase next year due to high interest rates and volatility in markets....Maintain my AVOID on Banks.

3. DP World which handles about 40% of containers coming in and out of Australia, was hacked on Friday. 30K containers were still stranded on Monday....Seems like getting hacked is just becoming par for the course these days.

4. Ramsay (RHC) has offloaded it's ASIAN hospitals with the $935 mil in proceeds to pay down debt.

5. The S&P Global Clean Energy Index has collapsed about 40% this year....GREEN = SCAM = AVOID

A decent portion of these companies are currently begging governments for bailouts or increased subsidies.

ASX Market Update

ASX 200 down 27 points to 6948

Bit of an ordinary day on the ASX with our market sagging 0.4% as ANZ's profit numbers came in a bit below expectations. ANZ did make a whopping $7.4bn for the full year but a deterioration in mortgage margins translated to investors pushing the stock 3% lower. Elsewhere, TPG Telecom (TPG) fell 11% after Vocus walked away from buying some of its telecommunication assets.

Looks like TPG has moved into the BUY ZONE @ $4.81....the stock is now down around 50% since 2020.

Random Observation

Peak oil demand by 2030 is not happening...

India currently consumes 1.3 barrels of oil per person per year

China is 4.1
US 22.5

These numbers will converge as India and China become richer and demand more energy intensive goods and services. Demand from India and China will rise towards US demand, but likely not all the… pic.twitter.com/G1HM5wIPaP
