We talk about the Market, Risk and Trend as part of our regular strategy discussions. For the moment the answers are "Up, Low and Friendly".  Not much to report today, volumes low, case numbers rising but ignored, economic backdrop quiet, earnings results supportive - waiting for something to come an upset the apple cart but nothing obvious to do that. WE talk about "Left Field Risk". Refer a Friend, ARK ETFS and some technical buy and sell signals.

The market is going "risk on" again as interest rates peak and even show signs of falling.  The barometer of market enthusiasm - Bitcoin - hit a record high and the capital raisings and corporate deals are cranking up again. When the Ducks are Quacking...the industry will feed them. Technology and growth is coming alive as the interest fears fade and in particular the BNPL sector after Z1P's quarterly update yesterday lit the blue touch paper on a sold down sector. Its all "on" again. Expect other BNPL players to put some zip into their own stories with equally upbeat updates - the industry is a long way from maturity. Lots of other stuff in the newsletter including a story about the Messiah and an opportunity for you to press a button and pass on your stock market wisdom to other Members.
