In a post shared on X, Musk declared that the platform would not only cover the legal expenses of those who have been treated unfairly by their employers but also take legal action on their behalf. This initiative is aimed at addressing the repercussions that users might face from their online interactions, signaling a commitment to protecting users' rights. 伊隆·馬斯克最近宣布，他的社交媒體平台X將站出來反對用戶因在該平台上發布或點讚而在職場上受到的不公平對待。在X上分享的一篇貼文中，馬斯克宣布該平台不僅將為那些被雇主不公平對待的人承擔法律費用，還將代表他們採取法律行動。此舉目標是解決使用者因網際互動而可能面臨的影響，並表明保護使用者權益的承諾。 Musk's commitment goes beyond financial support; he emphasized that the platform would be vocal in pursuing legal actions against the companies involved. He even mentioned the intention to hold the boards of directors accountable. In a separate response, he pointed out the effectiveness of legal threats in driving behavioral change in the U.S., highlighting the potential impact of such actions. 馬斯克的承諾不僅僅局限於財務支援；他還強調該平台將會在追訴涉及公司的法律行動時為其發聲音。他甚至提到打算對董事會進行追究責任。在另一個回應中，他指出採取法律威脅在推動美國行為改變上十分有效，凸顯了此類行動的潛在影響。 Recent data shared by Musk revealed that X has reached a milestone in terms of monthly users, surpassing 540 million. This achievement comes amidst organizational shifts within the company and efforts to counter declining advertising revenue. The platform's executives have consistently emphasized its growing traction in usage, particularly after the launch of Meta Platforms' Threads, a competing platform. 馬斯克分享的最新數據顯示，X的每月用戶數已達到一個里程碑，超過了5.4億。這個成就是在公司內部進行組織變革以及努力對抗廣告收入銳減的情況下實現的。平台的高層人員一直強調其使用量不斷增長，尤其是在Meta公司推出競爭平台Threads之後。 In a significant rebranding move, Elon Musk renamed the platform from Twitter to X, bidding farewell to the iconic blue bird logo that represented the dissemination of ideas. This transformation aligns with the platform's renewed focus on becoming an "everything app." The shift also underscores Musk's commitment to making the platform a multifaceted tool for communication and expression. 伊隆·馬斯克在一次重要的品牌重塑行動中，將推特（Twitter）平台重新命名為X，告別了象徵著思想傳播的標誌性藍色小鳥標誌。這種轉變與平台重新將焦點聚集在成為一個“全能應用程序”上的想法一致，並且也凸顯出馬斯克致力於將該平台打造成一個全方位交流和表達工具的決心。 Despite the ambitious rebranding and growth aspirations, challenges persist. Musk noted a substantial drop in advertising revenue, leading to negative cash flow for the platform. Hopes for a rebound in advertising revenue following a projected upturn in June were dashed, underlining the need for innovative strategies to revitalize revenue streams. As X continues to evolve from its Twitter origins, it strives to redefine its role as an inclusive and dynamic platform in the ever-changing landscape of social media. 儘管對品牌重塑和成長有著雄心大志，挑戰依然存在。馬斯克指出廣告收入大幅下降，導致該平台出現負現金流。原先預計在六月時廣告收入會回升，但此希望也落空，這凸顯了平台需要創新策略來振興金流的必要性。隨著X平台從Twitter的起源持續發展，它將努力在不斷變化的社交媒體環境中重新定位平台，成為一個具有包容性且充滿活力的角色。 Reference article: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/06/musks-x-to-pay-legal-bills-of-people-unfairly-treated-for-posting-on-platform.html

Errol shares the story of Orion Minerals, what they have achieved and what the outlook of the company mining in South Africa. KEY TAKEAWAYS Orion Minerals is a globally diversified metals explorer and developer focused on copper, zinc, nickel, cobalt, platinum, gold, and silver. The company has acquired over 9,000 square kilometers of prospecting and mining rights in South Africa's Northern Cape, including the flagship Biscara copper zinc project and the OKEC copper project.

The company is committed to ESG initiatives and has implemented various programs, such as water provision, skills training, enterprise development, and potential agricultural fertiliser production from mine water. BEST MOMENTS "We realised that the big boom was likely to be in the copper, the nickel, the zinc and the minerals that have now become known as the critical metal suite." "South Africa is the centre of African mining. Your skill set, your supply chain all works through South Africa." "We're busy installing pumps and pumping systems and the mining contractors are busy mobilising to sites so there's a whole lot of exciting activity happening at the moment." "We see ESG as an opportunity. The stuff that we do with our community, it really does warm your heart but it doesn't detract from value." "The future of mining is going to change. The minerals that are in demand are changing. There's a greater focus on some of the more obscure minerals and things that most people didn't even think of five years ago."

Interview with Alex Underwood, Managing Director of Empire Energy (ASX: EEG)Empire Energy, an ASX listed company, is an active developer in the Betaloo Basin, Australia's Northern Territory, with a growing resource and advancing pilot study. The company has drilled significant horizontal wells over the past year and observed encouraging flow rates from these wells. They also reported a substantial resource upgrade, now holding 1.7 trillion cubic feet of independently assessed discovered resource.The company's focus is shifting towards pilot production, including all the groundwork needed to arrive at a final investment decision for the project. They aim to start construction in the coming year and move into production shortly after. The end goal is to make the company attractive to the market and potential acquirers.Empire Energy has a prospective resource of over 40 trillion cubic feet of gas, which could provide significant LNG exports. They are aiming to de-risk this vast resource and see a potential for substantial value creation, similar to the experiences of other unconventional oil and gas companies in Australia and the US.The company plans to bring large international oil and gas companies into the project as joint venture partners. However, these potential partners need to see that the gas can be commercially extracted before making significant investments. The pilot project, therefore, aims to provide longer-term flow data and repeatability of results to convince potential future partners.The market opportunity for Empire Energy's gas is strong, with Australia facing significant shortages on its East Coast. The company is receiving strong interest for gas from the pilot project and views this as a significant driver of near-term value.

Value investing is all about buying stocks that are trading below their intrinsic value.  In practical terms, that often involves investing in companies and sectors that have been shunned by the market due to particular macro headwinds.  "It should be no surprise as to where the pockets of opportunity are," says Tim Carleton, Auscap Asset Management CIO and today's guest on the Rules of Investing.  "They're in the more cyclical sectors that people are most concerned about from an earnings perspective." In today's interview with Livewire's David Thornton, Tim runs through two retail stocks in the Auscap Long Short Australian Equities Fund that fit this profile. I won't give them away, but one is the only stock on the ASX with a return on equity above 50%, while the other is a long-term compounder poised to take market share.  He also discusses why he's avoided the tech and energy sectors, what he expects from earnings season, why he doesn't put much weight in earnings beats and misses, and why lithium is a crowded trade (yet remains invested in it).  Note: This episode was recorded on July 26, 2023.  Timestamps 0:00 - START 1:30 - Have we avoided a hard landing? 3:30 - Australian base case 4:30 - Reporting season 10:00 - Stock prices follow earnings 12:30 - A checklist for finding value 14:20 - Consumer discretionary in 2023 17:55 - Two COVID beneficiaries primed for growth 20:50 - Avoiding tech and energy 23:00 - Lithium is crowded, but does that matter? 29:20 - Look past the market's time horizon 44:00 - Bottom drawer retail stock

This week in the Club edition we're talking about movements in Gold and Lithium prices, why Super Funds suck, why the ASX is in a “dead zone”, the big week of company reporting coming up, our Stockopedia trial, a pulled pork on KSL, URW selling down US malls, RIO in recycling push, technical indicators, and what TK thinks about companies with lots of shares held in escrow.

In this episode we chat to Prashant Chintawar, MD & CEO, Volt Resources who are a critical minerals and battery materials company listed on the ASX and are an established graphite producer with an operating mine in Ukraine and a developer of wholly owned Bunyu Project in Tanzania - one of the largest graphite deposits in the world. Volt acquired interest in three gold projects in Guinea, West Africa and three license applications in Serbia, that are prospective for lithium-borate mineralization. PC is an entrepreneurial global business leader, with a track record of creation and scaling up of new specialty material and battery material businesses, growing existing chemical businesses, product profit and loss management, negotiating and structuring deals and industrialization and tells us more about the company, the projects they are involved in and more around the battery industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS As a business stalwart, Prashant has not just founded them, but also grown them, and therefore can speak as both founder and manager. Mining in Ukraine is a definitely challenging due to the geopolitical climate. The power is unreliable, for instance, plus the supply chain is difficult.

Our episode today is inspired by James from the UK. He wrote and asked: Why you wouldn't just invest in an S&P 500 index fund? So today we go over 2 reasons why you would and 1 reason why you wouldn't... First of all: just what *is* automated investing? Basically, it means you set up a rule with your broker that tells it to invest a consistent amount of money at regular intervals. Generally, it involves investing in a well diversified index fund - could be an S&P 500 index fund or ASX 200 - but ideally a global fund like a Vanguard VDHG or Betashares DHHF.

Last month, Fidelity marked the 20 year anniversary of its Australian Equities Fund. The fund has consistently outperformed its benchmark, the ASX 200 Accumulation Index, netting over 11% per annum. Paul Taylor, Head of Investments at Fidelity International, has captained that ship from inception to now. The fund's generated 11% per annum over the two decades, through some of the worst crises markets have dealt with. The Global Financial Crisis, the European sovereign debt crisis, COVID-19, and the Russo-Ukrainian war. The list goes on. How's he done it? Well, he turns down the noise. When I speak to fund managers, I often get a general response about how to do that. Usually something about focusing on fundamentals.  In today's episode of The Rules of Investing, Paul gives an actionable step by step process that all investors can follow to turn down that noise. He also goes deep explaining his process for finding what he terms the “holy grail” of investing – long-term compounders, identifies the market's next buying window, the need to view stocks and their upside potential within the context of portfolio construction, and the next thing to break if rates keep rising.  And as a little kicker at the end, he provides a [hypothetical] 3-stock portfolio for the bottom drawer.  Note: This interview was recorded on July 11, 2023.  Timestamps 0:00 - START 2:00 - 20 years of volatile markets 4:00 - 4-step process for blocking out noise 8:00 - Making moves during the GFC 16:00 - Second order affects 18:50 - The next buying window 20:30 - Banks in the firing line 22:50 - Preserving capital 25:40 - Don't pick stocks in isolation 28:50 - Finding long-term compounders 32:50 - The secular tech rally 36:30 - Glass half full 39:40 - Buying WiseTech Global (ASX: WTC) early  42:50 - A 3-stock portfolio for the bottom drawer

In this episode we chat to Ignacio Salazar, CEO of Highfield Resources, who are an ASX listed potash company which focuses on the construction of its flagship low cost, low capex Muga Project in Spain which is fully permitted. Ignacio has a background in economics and law and has worked in the Oil & Gas industry with Shell before moving over to the mining industry back in 2009. At the helm of Highfield Resources, Ignacio tells us more about the company, its journey and what they are looking to achieve plus also an update on what is happening in the Spanish mining industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ignacio specialises in mining in Spain, but his experience has seen him oversee projects around the world, allowing him a broad perspective and unrivalled skill set in the mining sector. The similarities between oil and gas, and mining, are many as they both require upfront investment and both explore the planet for the resources on offer. Regionality matters and so do the size of the players. Highfield is an ASX listed company, and prefers to focus on one project in Spain - two autonomous operations. Potash and its resultant fertiliser uses are in great demand around the world, even though it may not be as well known as other mined materials.

Please go to this podcast's webpage for links to the actual articles for more company and stock information. Links to an additional 3 articles are included below. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Great Green Energy Stock Picks Now the first two articles are from Canada, but they detail opportunities relevant to a global audience. The first article is titled How Green Energy Players Are Making Big Waves in the Stock Market, by Christopher Liew, on fool.ca. Here's some of what Mr. Liew has to say about his three picks. “1. Ballard Power Systems (TSX:BLDP) Market analysts recommend a hold rating. Their 12-month average price target is $22.91, or a 293% return potential. Ballard's competitive advantages include experience in manufacturing fuel cell products (40 years), top-tier long-term customers, and strategic shareholders… The latest product and potential growth driver is next-generation, thin, flexible graphite bipolar plates. Ballard plans to invest around $18 million in manufacturing the plates this year through 2025. 2. Nano One Materials Corp. (TSX:NANO) Nano One outperforms the TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange) year to date (+18.85% versus +1.11%). Market analysts recommend a buy rating, with an average price target of $6.50 (+124%) in 12 months. This $302 million company's contribution to the fight against climate change is the production of high-performance lithium-ion battery cathode materials. According to management, the company's technology applies to electric vehicles, energy storage, and consumer electronics. Besides reducing costs, the low-carbon intensity improves environmental impact. Nano One owns Canada's only LFP (lithium ferrous phosphate) battery production facility. 3. Exro Technologies (OTC:EXRO.F) Exro Technologies develops new-generation power electronics that expand the capabilities of electric motors and batteries… The significant upside will come from continued focus on innovation in e-transition and energy storage market verticals. The addressable markets for its lead products, Coil Driver (motor controllers) and Cell Driver (energy storage), should reach US$133 billion and US$224 billion by 2030, respectively… Market analysts recommend a strong buy rating, forecasting 55% price appreciation in one year.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Great Green Energy Stock Picks Now, the second article is titled 2 Canadian ESG Stocks for Ethical Investors, by Adam Othman on fool.ca. Among Mr. Othman's comments on his two picks are these. “1. Canadian National Railway (TSX:CNR) might not seem like an ESG stock… However, this Canadian Dividend Aristocrat can be an excellent investment for this purpose. The $105.92 billion market capitalization company headquartered in Montreal is vital to the North American economy. Boasting the only 18,600-mile railway network connecting three coasts in North America… It generates solid financial results. In 2022, it increased its revenue by 18.2% and net income by 4.5%, increasing its free cash flow by 29.2% compared to the previous year…. Sustainalytics gives Canadian National Railway stock a low ESG risk rating due to its Climate Action Plan aligning with international ESG standards. 2. Innergex Renewable Energy (TSX:INE) The $2.73 billion market capitalization company develops, owns, and operates run-of-river hydroelectric facilities. It also has a substantial number of wind and solar energy farms located in North and South America and France. …Operating as an electricity utility company, it has a low-risk business model. 2022 saw Innergex reduce its net loss from $185.4 million in 2021 to $91.1 million. Its free cash flows rose by almost 60% year over year… As of this writing, Innergex Renewable stock trades for $13.39 per share, down by 34.55% from its 52-week high. Currently, it pays its shareholders their payouts at a juicy 5.38% dividend yield.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Great Green Energy Stock Picks And now to a company that's often overlooked according to this Zacks analyst. The article is titled Why This Under-the-Radar Renewable Energy Stock is a 'Strong Buy'. It's by Benjamin Rains and found on zacks.com. Here's some of what Mr. Rains says about Arcosa, Inc. “Arcosa, Inc. (ACA - Free Report) provides infrastructure-related products and solutions across construction, engineered structures, and transportation markets. Arcosa is benefitting from megatrends such as aging infrastructure, as well as the ‘continued shift to renewable power generation, and the expansion of new transmission, distribution, and telecommunications infrastructure…' Arcosa crushed Zacks Q1 earnings estimate in late April and provided hugely upbeat guidance. Arcosa's fiscal 2023 consensus estimate has surged by 44% since its report, with FY24's figure 38% higher. Arcosa's bottom-line positivity helps it grab a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy)… Arcosa's engineered structures division includes utility structures, telecom structures, wind towers, and beyond. Arcosa's wind tower business is booming… since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act… The gusts at Arcosa's back include grid-hardening, electrification of vehicles, connecting renewable energy to the grid, the wireless 5G telecom buildout, and more… Other Fundamentals Zacks estimates call for Arcosa's adjusted 2023 earnings to surge by 27% and then jump another 18% higher in 2024 to reach $3.26 per share… Overall, Arcosa appears to be a somewhat under-the-radar and strong way to gain exposure to multiple long-term trends in the U.S. and global economy. And its recent slip sets up a better entry point.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4) Great Green Energy Stock Picks Next is this article, also applicable to a global audience. It's titled 5 Top UK Sustainable Investment Trusts To Consider In H2 2023. It's by Gaurav Sharma and seen on forbes.com. Here are some quotes. “Typically listed on UK and Japanese markets, investment trusts are public-listed pooled investment vehicles that generate income by investing in stocks of other companies, bonds (both corporate and government issued), real estate, infrastructure and privately held enterprises, etc.… Based on current dividend yields*, NAV discounts** and exchange rates***, for me the following five UK-listed sustainable investment trusts stand out: 1. Triple Point Energy Transition Plc (LON: TENT) Dividend Yield: 8.27% Listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange, Triple Point Energy Transition Plc invests in UK and European renewable energy projects touting its credentials as a stable dividend-paying trust that aims to enable a pan-European transition to a low carbon economy. Furthermore, its 7-8% average dividend yield not only ranks it among the highest in its category but also puts it on the list of the 20-highest dividend-yields among all UK-listed investment trusts. 2. NextEnergy Solar Fund (LON: NESF) Dividend Yield: 7.52% NextEnergy Solar Fund is listed on the London Stock Exchange's main market and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 index. As the name suggests, it invests in a diversified portfolio of solar energy and energy storage infrastructure assets. Most of its long-term cashflows are inflation-linked via UK government subsidies, and it offers an attractive dividend yield. 3. Renewables Infrastructure Group (LON: TRIG) Dividend Yield: 5.97% Renewables Infrastructure Group has been listed on the London Stock Exchange for over a decade and is also a constituent of the FTSE 250 index. The company focuses on onshore and offshore wind farms and solar parks in the UK and Europe. 4. Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust (LON: ORIT) Dividend Yield: 5.52% With its management trail leading to one of Europe's largest renewable energy investors – Octopus Energy – the Octopus Renewable Energy Infrastructure Trust aims to provide both capital appreciation as well as sustainable dividends by building and operating a diversified portfolio of renewable energy assets in Europe and Australia. 5. Greencoat UK Wind Plc (LON: UKW) Dividend Yield: 5.51% Greencoat UK Wind has the honor of being the first UK renewable infrastructure fund to list on the London Stock Exchange. It is also a constituent of the FTSE 250 index and is focused on UK wind power generation.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 20 Biggest Infrastructure Companies in the US Now, the US economy is currently being lifted by two massive spending bills related to infrastructure. Many ethical and sustainable investors see infrastructure companies as having a place in their portfolios. So, this article might be of interest to many of you. It's titled 20 Biggest Infrastructure Companies in the US. It's by Ty Haqqi and is seen on finance.yahoo.com. Only the public companies and non-fossil-fuel related are included here... and quotes about these companies are limited. “14. Crown Castle Inc. (NYSE:CCI) Total revenue (in billions): $58.1 Crown Castle provides shared communications infrastructure in the U.S. including small cells, cell towers and fiber, and counts itself among the largest U.S. infrastructure companies. 13. Fluor Corporation (NYSE:FLR) Total revenue (in billions): $13.8 Fluor Corporation is one of the biggest engineering companies in Texas… The share price of Fluor Corporation has stayed the same over the last one year with its gains being wiped out over the last few months. 12.

Car enthusiasts have been bolting carbon fiber wheels onto high performance vehicles for years. But, the hitherto luxury add-on brings real benefits to vehicle weight and energy economy, both of which have a new importance in the age of EVs. This week, we speak with Carbon Revolution CEO Jake Dingle. Carbon Revolution is working to scale up its carbon fiber wheel production to provide the wheels as a mass-produced staple in the industry. It announced a $270 million combination with Twin Ridge Capital Acquisition Corp. (NYSE:TRCA) in November to accelerate these plans. He describes the major business advantages in bumping up from the ASX to a US exchange and how the transaction has opened up new financing doors even while it is pending close.  

In this week's long-form discussion, we take a look at the Australian mining and resource markets. It is an area of mining we typically do not cover much of here on MSD, but it is incredibly important to have a good understanding of for speculators in the junior side of the industry. We connect with Minelife's publisher, Gavin Wendt to a wide range of topics, including the doldrums of its own resource exchange and where the opportunities lie on the ASX. We then branch into other topics, including his thoughts on the Newmont/Newcrest deal, why rare earth exploration is seeing some liquidity, and just where are we in the commodity cycle? But one of the most important topics we cover is the role Australia plays in a de-globalized world. Will it continue to be China's main supplier of metals and resources? Or will geopolitics force Australia into different directions? We'd like to thank our sponsors: Western Copper and Gold is focused on developing the world-class Casino project in Canada's Yukon Territory. The Casino project consists of an impressive 11 billion pounds of copper and 21 million ounces of gold in an overall resource. Western Copper and Gold trades on the TSX and the NYSE American with WRN. Be sure to follow the company via their website, www.westerncopperandgold.com. ASCU is an early-stage copper developer and explorer of the Cactus Mine and its satellite project, Parks/Salyer, both situated on a 4km mine trend on private land in Arizona's porphyry copper district. Opportunity for significant growth and scale exist along the trend, while future capex requirements outlined in the Cactus PEA benefit from significant onsite and nearby access to infrastructure. The Company is led by an executive management team and Board which have a long-standing track record of successful project delivery in North America.

Fireweed Metals is advancing 3 different projects within the Yukon and Northwest Territories, including the flagship Macmillan Pass Project, a large zinc-lead-silver deposit and the Mactung Project, one of the largest and highest-grade tungsten deposits in the world. Fireweed plans to advance these projects through exploration, resource definition, metallurgy, engineering, economic studies and collaboration with indigenous people on the path to production.
