The Good Morning Report

5 Things that Grabbed my Attention

1. There was FRENZIED BUYING into TECH after META announced a whopping $40bn share buyback and growth in users....Miners were SOLD off;  BHP and RIO down about 4% in offshore trade.

2. PERU's congress just voted against an early election, so the situation will remain very ugly....Got COPPER? Got SILVER? - market is completely oblivious to the supply disruptions.

3. As Jerome Powell talks disinflation, we are still seeing wild swings in some commodities; Lumber for example has surged 40% over the past month.

4.  Pfizer is warning of a steep drop off in sales for its COVID Vaccine it developed with the BILL GATES backed BioNtech; people across the world are now realizing what a BIG FAT SCAM it was - even BILL is now saying its a DUD - yet no one holds him accountable for the misery he created.....Myocarditis should not be part of our everyday vocab; What a CLOWN WORLD: AVOID Pfizer shares.

5.  Intel is giving its worker force a pay cut - from the CEO all the way down.

ASX Market Update

ASX 200 up 9 points to 7511

The GOLD MINERS INDEX - XGD rallied a cool 4.2% which was kind of funny considering GOLD in Aussie Dollars only put on 0.22%....NCM finished 3.6% higher, NST added 4.5% and EVN increased 5.9%. 

It was a good day for Mirko!

#He may not be as happy today with GOLD miners likely to reverse all those gains.

Random Observation

URNM which is the BETASHARES GLOBAL URANIUM ETF is a BUY....I like the look of these compact units that deliver clean and reliable 24hr power;

welcome to the nuclear future!

GE hitachi has officially signed its first contract to build a small modular reactor in north america.

it might sound small, but a 300 MW reactor can power over 250,000 US homes (!!) https://t.co/iZED9cuqZz
