The Good Morning Report – 16th November

5 Things that Grabbed my Attention

1. Nufarm (NUF) shares rallied 8% after the CEO said the outlook for the company is strong....My hunch was right.

2. US CPI or inflation came in below expectations mostly due to a 34% plunge in healthcare insurance....the data is total BS as no Americans enjoyed a 34% cut - the government conjured up a new phony way to measure it.

3. For those thinking that coking coal won't be needed in the years to come to make steel are living in a delusional, alternative reality....GLENCORE (who are no dummies) just bought TECK's steel making coal division for A$14bn.

4. The Japanese economy contracted by 0.5% in the third quarter compared to the previous quarter....So that's another economy suffering from STAGLFATION (rising prices + falling economy).

5. XMET gives you exposure to the world's leading miners of such critical metals as copper, nickel, cobalt, graphite, lithium, manganese, silver and rare earth elements. BUY

ASX Market Update

ASX 200 up 95 points to 7105

Aussies piled into stocks after the strong surge from Wall Street. One that didn't rally was Karoon (KAR) - have a go of this dodgy trading action:

At 9.16am (before the market opened) the AFR behind their paywall, ran a story that KAR was doing a capital raise. KAR didn't stop trading until 10.29am and after it had fallen 10% on volume of 3.3 million shares.

The market wasn't informed at all of this major transaction that Macquarie was raising funds for.  Institutions that sold to joe public would've known they were going to get the shot to buy back shares in KAR at a cheaper price via the capital raising, as Macquarie would have told them the price.

Meet Simple Jack, Macquarie's new head of compliance...."Karoon  rhymes  with  Cameroon"

Random Observation

Have a go of this...LOL!!

Hindenburg’s latest victim… $GDHG

A Chinese amusement park company listed on the Nasdaq that is a total fraud. They went to visit their busiest park on a Saturday and it was empty. Their water attraction was “a large pond full of trash”.

Xi Man touched down in San Francisco and was met by US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen plus the uber corrupt Gavin Newsom with his hot wife....I was certainly surprised to see the Yanks wheel out these three for the reception!

"Welcome... now  President  Xi,  we  need  to  talk  about  US  Treasuries - it's  truly  not  the  largest  PONZI  scheme  in  human  history, honest  to  God...Oh...and  stay away  from  GOLD as  that's  for  the  conspiracy  theorists"

Global Market Update

US Market

DOW up 163 points to 34,991

This has made Tracy @ SuperEquity happy as she recently became bullish on Block Inc (owner of Square). The stock trades on the ASX under the code SQ2 - last sale $85.74. It traded @ $194 in 2022 so she thinks there is a good chance of a bounce back to at least $130 in the medium term.

Follow the money: BUY

European Markets

Germans up 0.86%, Brits added 0.62% and Frenchies put on 0.33%

There was a bit of celebration in the UK as inflation dropped down to 4.6% in October - much lower than expected....To me, it is all a lie - prices permanently transitioned to a higher level, so while inflation has cooled the purchasing power of money has been significantly depleted. Government's across the West have pulled off the greatest wealth heist in history, yet only a small portion of the population realize what they have done.
