September 23, 2024Diamonds, the weather, municipalities: the challenge of adapting to change Are diamonds really forever? This is just one of the questions we chat about this week. There are so many changes taking place, as the dramatic snowfall in KZN underlines, it raises the question of how do you roll with the changes. Adaption is harder than many imagine, and small problems can become very big, very fast, as SA's failing municipalities show. But some things don't change: we will always have the braai - happy heritage day.Production and Editing by Tevya Turok Shapiro.Music & Design by Bernard Kotze.Created by Mark Barnes, Tim Cohen, Bernard Kotze & Branko Brkic....more September 16, 2024Our pet subject: the interesting things about interest rates Pets, specifically cats and dogs, suddenly became a topic of international interest after they somehow contrived to make an appearance at the debate between former US President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Pity the poor town of Springfield, Massachusetts whose city officials now have to investigate whether legal Haitian immigrants are “eating the cats”. It's our pet topic, as is international interest rates which will start coming down this week. What are the consequences and who loses, who gains? We discussed another pet topic, immigration, but this time a recent survey of African youth, who now want to leave the continent in eye-popping numbers.Production and Editing by Tevya Turok Shapiro.Music & Design by Bernard Kotze.Created by Mark Barnes, Tim Cohen, Bernard Kotze & Branko Brkic....more September 10, 2024Financial skullduggery and ineptitude from VBS, to the construction mafia to Transnet. Lots of important financial news came tumbling out this week concerning Transnet, the Post Office, Eskom, the construction mafia and VBS. Entrepreneur Mark Barnes and Business Maverick editor Tim Cohen discuss the difference - and the similarities - between fraud and ineptitude, which actually quite often go together. We also talk about the extent to which wealth has grown around the world (it has, by leaps and bounds) and where it grew the most. There is also a sports riddle.Production and Editing by Tevya Turok Shapiro.Music & Design by Bernard Kotze.Created by Mark Barnes, Tim Cohen, Bernard Kotze & Branko Brkic....more September 02, 2024The magic of Trillion $ companies and a couple of pots Investment banker Mark Barnes and business journalist Tim Cohen discuss the ongoing financial scandals revealed over the past week, include the potential bankruptcy of water boards and ongoing "Red Roses" PPE tender scandal. We also discuss the inauguration of the two-pot system for retirement savings, which leads to large discussion about the nature of debt. We consider the concept of trillion, companies with market capitalisation of over a trillion dollars, and particularly Nvidia and its future.Production and Editing by Tevya Turok Shapiro.Music & Design by Bernard Kotze.Created by Mark Barnes, Tim Cohen, Bernard Kotze & Branko Brkic....more August 26, 2024No consensus on the census | Reviving Joburg city centre | the ROI of university courses Mark Barnes and Tim Cohen consider the consequences of a failed census. They are probably a lot more serious than most people think. Disputes about the validity of SA's 2022 census will complicate services provision, and highlight the degree of semi-gration out of Johannesburg. Another fire in downtown Joburg underlines once again the need for decisive, informed, and active leadership. Also, what financial benefits do you get from which university degree? Calculations on the return on investment of American degrees reveal that your education investment could result in losing money, particularly if you study acting. But engineering and tech are of course winners.

...more August 19, 2024When will the political merry-go-round settle | Is working from home working Entrepreneur Mark Barnes and Business Maverick Editor Tim Cohen discuss the end of the EFF bromance between new MK member Floyd Shivambu and EFF leader Julius Malema, and wonder about when the politics will settle. The move is emblematic of a new era in SA politics as a result of the end (for the time being anyway) of single party dominance. The result is that political affiliations are becoming more variable and loyalties will probably be less enduring. The same is true of municipal politics as Johannesburg gets yet another new mayor. On another topic, what's happening with drinks after work? Why are they not happening any more and do they affect cohesion at work.Production and Editing by Tevya Turok Shapiro.Music & Design by Bernard Kotze.Created by Mark Barnes, Tim Cohen, Bernard Kotze & Branko Brkic....more August 12, 2024Are government and business NBF’s: the real numbers about the olympics Entrepreneur Mark Barnes and Business Maverick Editor Tim Cohen discuss the reasons why government and business are becoming new best friends - and the limits of the new relationship. Why is it happening, and what are the consequences? They also discuss why it is that the phrase “per capita” explodes on Google search in New Zealand during the olympics. The olympics came to and end the past Sunday, and the medal count tells an interesting story about how the world is developing. South Africa did well comparatively during the event, but there is still an open question about whether SA athletes get sufficient support from our Olympic Committee.Production and Editing by Tevya Turok Shapiro.Music & Design by Bernard Kotze.Created by Mark Barnes, Tim Cohen, Bernard Kotze & Branko Brkic....more August 06, 2024Hundred metre dash | Volatility | Crowd wisdom This week we discuss the sporting spirit of the Olympics, the stock market correction and volatility likely to follow, and whether common purpose finally prevailsProduction and Editing by Tevya Turok Shapiro.Music & Design by Bernard Kotze.Created by Mark Barnes, Tim Cohen, Bernard Kotze & Branko Brkic....more July 29, 2024Olympics, the GNU starts well and the retailers race for market share Did you know how much actual gold there is an Olympic gold medal? (Hint: not much.) 2024 is the year of elections with huge numbers of voters expressing their choices. And how is it going so far. You have to say pretty well. And what about the important process of shopping. How is retail changing. Its all in our podcast today.Production and Editing by Tevya Turok Shapiro.Music & Design by Bernard Kotze.Created by Mark Barnes, Tim Cohen, Bernard Kotze & Branko Brkic....more July 25, 2024Biden takes our advice, SA's cities, and handbags at dawn Time in the Markets
