Money matters

The USA government has run out of money to drive their economy forward. Every one is worried by this event as they should be. How ever they control this by having a debt ceiling which they have now reached. Therefore they will now pass a bill to increase the ceiling, in other words allowing them to borrow more. 

This is not such  a dire event as one would think as this creates more money to work with. This is fine as long as they keep interest rates below 3% as there is an expanded population that can pay this amount in taxes. How ever they should not let inflation rise which will then cause a spiral event sending interest rates soaring. Covid caused a bulge in spending but they are getting this under control now.

Our South African government has also run out of money by bad decisions, graft and ineptitude in handling of the economy. Our inflation is beginning to spin out of conntrol with interest rates rising sharply. The racialistic approach of the government by only appointing blacks who are not qualified to top posts to the detriment of our country ,bodes ill for the future. There is still time to reverse this trend and restore the rainbow nation!

Sustainability !

 I thank God ,that the worlds population is beginning to retract. Japan  seems worried as well as China                

 and  individual scientists in other various other parts of the world.Only in Africa and parts of India is the population still growing at an alarming rate. 

In Japan they fear that the popuation will halve in the next forty years and see this as totally destoying their present society ,which they fear will not be able to function.

This is not my veiw as we will all have  adapt ,which I see is is also shared by a number of scientists. 

The cause of this phenomena is according to scientists plastics ingested by males causing lower fertility levels.

I am not so certain of this reason and think there might be an inborn trigger that reverses human fertility when pressure of numbers beconme too much! 

Take the lemmings as an example,when their food source becomes scarce ,they take upon themselves ,to send a certain amount of the lemmings to jump off a cliff ,then fall to a death underneath!

SAFER PLACES TO INVEST MONEY NOW 3/3/2023

 

As South Africa seems these days to be practically ungovernable under  the African National Congress. Some might say this is not so,but our electrcal system is failing, government run Denel (Weapons for mostly Export) has closed down. As has South African Airways and most passenger services on the railways. Rails ,copper and other infrastructure is stolen in broad daylight ! There gangs stealing coal etc from Escom. The State radio and TV is also on a slippery path!

What with the war in Ukraine and China in an expansionist mode worse things can occur such as disruption of trade etc.

The Rand continues to slowly decline ,so interest rates are climbing to offet this. 

At this time it would be better to look at INDEX FUNDS as then the worry of single companies failing is limited by the group.

We are personally using Satrix companies at this time as they are well managed.

In our veiw only the better companies are:

SATRIX RESOURCES  (STXRES)

SATRIX RAF    (STXRAF)

These are usually under valued funds.

SATRIX MOMENTUM (STXMTM)

UPDATE 14/3/2023  :- Stocks are expected to  stage a mini-run  now up to the end of  May 2023 as a result of prices dropping too far in South Africa !  Fundementally nothing has changed so profits can possibly be made. Not a good idea to get deeply involved. Fuel StocksSUCH AS SASOL LOCALLY OR OVERSEAS such as Mobil,Shell ,Total might be worth a punt in warrants etc. ONLY OUR OPINION . TOWARDS THE END OF ANY RUN ,REMEMBER TO TAKE PROFITS!

Global renewable energy generation to hit 320 GW this year, Mining Indaba hears

Global renewable energy generation to hit 320 GW this year, Mining Indaba hears: Renewable energy capacity will increase by 8% to 320 GW this year, Ivanhoe Mines founder and CEO Robert Friedland told the Investing in African Mining Indaba on Wednesday at an event themed on the comment of former US president John F Kennedy that the moon launch was being undertaken “not because it was easy, but because it was hard”. “Don’t tell me we have to burn coal. You can say burning coal’s legitimate for Africa to survive as we find a better solution. That’s very true. No one can lecture up that you mustn’t have electrical energy. But don’t tell me there isn’t a solution just because it’s hard,' said Friedland, who described the decision of the United States to set aside $370-billion in the next ten years for renewable energy, pollution reduction and environmental justice as “baby steps for baby feet” and highlighted China as 'leading the way' in wind, solar and new energy grid.

Dire Times !

Normally every new year brings a great deal of optimisim as the market kicks off 

on a renewable urge to get things done!

We in South Africa have never suffered this amount of shortage of electricity in living memory .The much malinged apartheid regime all ways made sure that all power systems were working and that there was no graft of any kind that siphoned off billions of Rands.

There was much moaning about rights,we honestly were treated the same and worked for our living and no scumbags ran away wth money out of the state coffers with out severe punishment!

No one wants now to invest in new business as the state supposedly wants a share of such ventures to be kept for the indiginous interests. All that has happened so far is that the poorest of poor have no prospects at all and usually ministers and their cohorts have incrediably rich,they then move their wealth out of the country as soon as possible!
