The Good Morning Report

The latest market news, commentary and strategy by Adrian Rowney 

5 Things that Grabbed my Attention

1. These unlisted OFFICE funds looks screwed....If you have any money tied up in them, get it out NOW and when I mean NOW I mean THIS MORNING!!!

2. Bank of America reported it's bond loses are $106bn and no one bats an eye lid!... This is surreal.

3. Gold Telegraph reported that since the year 1700 around 750 fiat currencies have been introduced but only 20% have survived and those have all been significantly devalued.

4. Energy stocks are starting to liven up again....I like BPT, WHC, STO, NHC, WDS, URNM, CRN and YAL....own a bit of each - I am not nearly talented enough to pick just one!

5. UK inflation came in at 7.9% vs 8.2% expected...certainly nothing to celebrate.

ASX Market Update
