Yes, we even bravely discuss NFTs! Not for terribly long, though.

Due to South African capital controls, significant price inefficiencies exist in the crypto asset space. Future Forex provides a streamlined service to help clients capitalise on these inefficiencies.

For those seeking an alternative use of their offshore annual allowances every year, crypto arbitrage may be an interesting area for further due diligence and research.

In Episode 48 of Magic Markets, you’ll learn about Future Forex's fully hedged arbitrage investment service as well as the latest news in crypto asset regulations.

With supply chains around the world clogged up and companies scrambling to navigate their way through the mess, there have been clear winners and losers. Is it wise to chase those winners, or to look for the companies that are ready to pounce once the supply chains catch up to demand?

In Episode 47 of Magic Markets, hosts The Finance Ghost and Mohammed Nalla explore the reasons for the supply chain pressures and the impact this has on companies, using practical examples along the way.

There’s also a short discussion on the potential impact on property prices of an inflationary cycle.
Magic Markets is your invitation to be part of our discussions on the key drivers in the markets and what they mean for investors.

In Episode 46 of Magic Markets, The Finance Ghost and Mohammed Nalla take a break from trading-related concepts to talk about another critical part of the financial markets ecosystem: mergers and acquisitions.

The recent Zoom - Five9 transaction is a great case study, mainly because it fell over in the end. Zoom tried to do an all-share deal and Five9 shareholders weren't interested in receiving Zoom shares in return for selling Five9.

The hosts explore the theories behind cash vs. share deals and touch on numerous practical concepts that they have seen play out in the markets. The benefit of having more than 25 years of combined financial markets experience is clear in this episode. Magic Markets is your invitation to sit in on our conversations about the markets.

The commodity economy is playing out in front of our very eyes, not just in South Africa but in other important African jurisdictions as well.

The obvious impact is on mining companies themselves, but there are other South African companies that have benefitted along the way, like MTN.

In an inflationary environment where Fed Chair Jerome Powell seems quite comfortable with letting durables inflation run, commodity-related stocks are making a strong case for inclusion in our portfolios.

Magic Markets is your invitation to join The Finance Ghost and Mohammed Nalla as they discuss the markets, their portfolios and all things finance-related.

Nerina Visser is the leading ETF expert in South Africa.

Magic Markets hosts The Finance Ghost and Mohammed Nalla (Moe-Knows) had the pleasure of hosting her on Magic Markets in Episode 4 and they were excited to welcome her back for Episode 40!

In this show, some of the more technical elements of ETFs and ETNs are discussed. For example, there are important differences between the two structures when it comes to underlying risk.

Nerina also addresses the misconception that ETFs are purely a "passive" investment decision.

With plenty of laughs along the way, Nerina also reveals what the hosts suspected to be true: (almost) all of her money is invested in ETFs!

Magic Markets is your invitation into the dealing room to be part of these conversations with global market and investment experts. 

ETFs are thought of as passive investment tools, although this isn't always the case.

In Episode 39, hosts The Finance Ghost and Mohammed Nalla (Moe-Knows) unpack more exotic examples of ETFs, which can include swaps and other mechanisms to achieve interesting outcomes.

The hosts also debate how they use ETFs in their own portfolios, adding general market exposure at a low cost.
