If you're flipping through the weekend edition today, you might spot a familiar name taking up a double-page spread. I’ve stepped in to fill the Barefoot Investor’s slot while he's away on holidays—something I never imagined when I first started writing. I still remember reading

Major Milestone achieved for the public MtM account. (Account has tripled in 18months) At the beginning of last year, a few MtM students asked me a fair question: “How do we know what you’re teaching actually works?” So as you know I decided to show them — publicly. I opened a

Silver isn’t a bubble — it’s like buying the Nasdaq in 2010. Silver in 2010: everyone was watching it. No one was watching the Nasdaq, and that was the perfect time to buy the Nasdaq. Now in 2025, everyone’s watching the Nasdaq — and it was the perfect time to buy silver. They

Did you know the Australian energy sector has been in a bear market since 2008? That’s an 18-year bear market. Here’s what most people miss: sectors aren’t like stocks — they don’t go down forever. A sector can’t stay hated indefinitely. Sectors are macro-driven. From 2008

Canada is the warning label Australia is ignoring. Canada’s national home prices are now ~21% below their peak — the biggest drop in more than 20 years. What matters most isn’t the fall. It’s the sentiment. Because this is exactly how Canada felt before the real move down. The

Most people don’t lose money in crypto because they bought the wrong coin. They lose money because they never had a plan to take profits. This time last year, when the Trump/White House hype and “4-year cycle” talk was everywhere, I sold at the alt coin top. And the lesson still

At MtM, we teach more than just technical analysis — we teach how to build conviction through confluence, where multiple independent sources align to support the same outcome. Flight Centre (FLT) is a great example of this. A few weeks ago, it aligned bullish across all three

The Aussie dollar (AUD) looks like it has put in a major low. That matters because the AUD often moves with the commodity cycle. This turn has happened on very heavy volume — the kind of activity you usually see when a market is changing direction. It doesn’t mean the AUD will

Money never leaves markets — it rotates. A lot of people are calling silver (and gold) a “bubble” because price has run and RSI is overbought. That’s a surface-level lens. In strong trends, the life of the move often happens while RSI is overbought. Price alone doesn’t tell you

Australia Hiked This Week. The USA Will Likely Follow in 2026. The Fed cut rates last week… but the US 10-year didn’t fall. It held firm and broke out higher on the weekly. That’s a warning: easy money isn’t coming back. If everything was fine and markets are at all-time

The Late-Cycle Divergence “I’ll just keep raising rents — problem solved.” A lot of people think that. But that’s not how real estate cycles work. If you haven’t lived through a full cycle before, here’s what actually happens — and why that mindset gets investors into trouble.
