They're investing, expanding — some through public acquisitions, others through quieter plays. But one thing is clear: it's no secret anymore. Big Tobacco is here, leveraging its resources to capture market share quickly, while cannabis companies continue to struggle.And on the other side of the coin? The global unlock continues.With U.S. operators mostly stuck within national borders, Canadian companies are finally getting the green light to activate dormant facilities and feed growing EU demand.

Back with another fabulous episode of Help me Buy Property Podcast with John Lindeman. This time, we dive straight into the importance of looking past current market noise to truly understand where real estate is headed. We discussed why a 24-month outlook may seem optimistic, while the 3- to 5-year horizon could tell a different, more complex story. It's not just about short-term trends—it's about interpreting deeper market movements and cycles to stay one step ahead.We also explore how elections—while rarely about property—always have significant implications for the real estate sector. From discussions on negative gearing to renewable initiatives and first-home buyer support, political shifts play a powerful role in shaping investor sentiment and long-term policy outcomes.We concluded our discussion by highlighting the key difference between owner-occupier-driven growth versus investor-led market spikes. While investors contribute to nominal, often volatile changes, it's the owner-occupiers who bring long-term stability.

Interview with Neil Young, MD & CEO of Elixir Energy Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/elixir-energy-pioneers-major-gas-resource-in-australias-bowen-basinRecording date: 11th November 2024Elixir Energy (ASX:EXR) is an Australian gas exploration company focused on developing a large unconventional gas resource in the Grandis Basin of Queensland. The company recently completed a one-year appraisal drilling campaign that, while delivering mixed results, has provided valuable data to guide the next phase of development.The company's Managing Director, Neil Young, remains confident in the potential of the play despite the final well flowing at a subeconomic rate of 1 MMcf/d. Young attributes this to operational issues rather than reservoir quality, stating, "We are confident that if we had to drill exactly the same well tomorrow without interruptions, we would get a commercial flow rate and above."Elixir's geologic model points to a potentially multi-TCF gas resource across its acreage. The company has identified multiple prospective zones and Young believes there is significant room for optimization through techniques like horizontal drilling and enhanced stimulation designs. He compares the current state of the play to the early days of the major US unconventional developments.With the initial appraisal campaign complete, Elixir is now focused on securing an experienced industry partner to help fund the next phase of drilling. The company is in discussions with a range of potential partners from supermajors to large US independents. While Young expects the farm-out process to take some time, Elixir is in no rush with a 15-year license in hand.In the interim, Elixir is pursuing several smaller-scale deals to generate near-term cash flow. This includes a potential farm-out of a conventional prospect on its acreage and the possible sale of a legacy asset in Mongolia. A key part of the Elixir story is the company's very favorable macro backdrop. Natural gas prices in Queensland have surged to A$12-15/GJ, around 4x the US benchmark, due to declining local production and strong LNG export demand. With the market expected to remain tight for the foreseeable future, Young sees a significant opportunity for Elixir to help fill the supply gap longer-term.The key risk to the Elixir story is that the company still has much to prove at the asset level before its acreage can be considered commercial. Further appraisal work is needed to demonstrate the well productivity and cost structure to attract a major partner. This will likely require additional capital, which could prove challenging in the current market.For investors with a higher risk tolerance, Elixir offers significant upside potential if the company is successful in delineating its unconventional gas resource. The stock could re-rate meaningfully if Elixir is able to secure a major farm-in deal in the coming months. In the meantime, investors should track the company's progress closely with a particular focus on near-term drilling results and partnership discussions.View Elixir Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/elixir-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Today, we're listening back to not one but two interviews from the other side of the globe, thanks to our new co-host Rebecca Bellan, who spent three years in Auckland, New Zealand. Late last year, Rebecca hopped across the Tasman to Australia to report on the startup scene in Australia, and came back to us with a temperature check on VC in the Antipodes.Rebecca spoke to two Aussie VCs: Dan Krasnostein from Square Peg and Gabrielle Munzer from Main Sequence.

G'Day and welcome to Overdrive, where we take a populous approach to issues about cars and transport. I'm David Brown In the program Paul Murrell from seniordriveraus.com and I deliberate on • Car sales so far this year - Is it a correction or huge on-going trend • There's a new ute on the Australian market and we don't mean the KIA • Geographic boundaries and naming your car • Our young intern discusses the Nissan X-trail • Are the first Honda motor cars s600/s800 becoming collectable • And we look at the history of eight sports cars that didn't really make it Originally broadcast 20 April 2024 A more detail rundown of the program Car Sales for the first quarter of 2024 01:42 It is indeed now the FCAI, the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries, has heralded the results for March this year, saying they surpassed the previous record, which was achieved in March 2018 and in fact year to date. Could the reason be that Toyota is finally appearing to have some supply to be able to sell. 03:55 Toyota must be very happy with the fact that hybrids are doing well. That is part of their big marketing. 04:21 Full electrics are about 9% of new car sales. Again is this just catching up with the rest of the world which is now showing some caution with electric vehicles 06:24 Federal Chamber of Automotive industries use the occasion to cast doubt about the New Vehicle Efficiency Standards Another New Ute of the Australian Market 07:50 There's a newcomer to the Australian market and it's not the Kia at this age, although that is coming. Is it? 10:00 China has many brands there were that we have never heard of. 11: 30 Other brands with utes, such as Great Wall Motors. LDV and SsangYong had a pretty good run but they are not doing as well this year. 12:54 How are the Pickups – the bigger than big utes going. RAM is down. New playes such as the Ford F150 and some upgraded versions of Chevrolet Silverado are doing well Alfa Romeo has a geographic name problem 14:11 DB A rose by any other name would smell as sweet Shakespeare? Alpha launched a new model and it's sort of a successor to the MiTo. So it's a small SUV, basically. Nissan X-Trail 19:15 Over the last year, Nissan has upgraded four of its important models. The three SUV's and their sporty Z, and included in the SUV's is their most popular. One of our young interns has had a look inside it and had. Very much a prominent front end. So my initial thought was it's a big, big SUV. But as I kind of worked my way from the front to the back, it kind of became more normal. More familiar. 20:27 And the colour the sort of pastel they're they're bringing out rich coloured pastels. If that's not almost a contradiction, it's a very serious paint job, but it's not bright red. Could The Honda S600 from the late 1960s be worth something 28:44 Haggerty, which is the American Classic insurance have noted that a number of cars cars are showing specific signs of gaining in value. Some are the very early tiny little sports cars from Honda the S600 and S800. Paul Murrell owned one. Did he regret selling it? 30:11 It was a delightful little car, a jewel of a car. Sports cars that didn't quite make it 33:27 MG VA (1937) 36: 19 Chevrolet Corvette (1953) 40:13 Mercedes-Benz 190SL (1955) 42:13 Porsche 912 (1965) 44:04 De Tomaso Mangusta (1967) 48:09 MGC (1967) 51:59 Ford Capri (1969) 56:25 De Lorean DMC-12 (1981)

Mexican cartels, primarily known for their drug trafficking operations in the Americas, have expanded their reach globally, including into Australia. Here's a summary of how they've expanded their operations into Australia:Globalization of Drug Trade: As law enforcement efforts intensify in traditional drug trafficking routes like the United States, Mexican cartels have sought out new markets to diversify their operations. Australia, with its high demand for illicit drugs and relatively lucrative market prices, has become an attractive destination.Establishment of Transnational Networks: Mexican cartels have established transnational networks that span across multiple continents. These networks often involve partnerships with local criminal groups in Australia, facilitating the distribution and sale of narcotics within the country.Mode of Transportation: Cartels typically use various methods to transport drugs into Australia, including concealment in shipping containers, commercial cargo, and even through the use of couriers. They exploit vulnerabilities in border security and customs enforcement to smuggle narcotics into the country.Money Laundering Operations: In addition to trafficking drugs, Mexican cartels engage in sophisticated money laundering operations to conceal the proceeds of their illicit activities. They often use shell companies, front businesses, and international financial networks to launder drug proceeds and repatriate profits back to Mexico.Corruption and Bribery: Cartels may also engage in corruption and bribery to facilitate their operations in Australia. This could involve bribing officials at ports of entry, law enforcement agencies, or even government officials to turn a blind eye to their activities or provide protection.Use of Technology: Mexican cartels are known to adapt to technological advancements to evade law enforcement efforts. They may utilize encrypted communication channels, cryptocurrency transactions, and other sophisticated techniques to coordinate their operations and conceal their identities.Violence and Intimidation: While not as prevalent in Australia compared to their operations in Mexico or the United States, Mexican cartels may resort to violence and intimidation tactics to maintain control over their operations and eliminate rival groups or individuals who pose a threat to their business interests.In this episode we discuss the growth of the Mexican cartels influence in Australia and how it's leading to a huge increase in high grade synthetic drugs pouring into the country, helping fuel it's growing addiction problem.(commercial at 10:45)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Drug cartels in Mexico flood Australia with meth (nypost.com)

According to the owners of Uling: The Charcoal Project, they initially discussed featuring only the authentic Chicken Inasal on their menu because it is grilled over charcoal. However, they realised that they could create and serve dishes with a 'twist' from the entire Filipino cookbook, such as Crispy Brussels sprouts with kare-kare sauce and black bean bagoong. - Ayon sa mga may ari ng Uling: The Charcoal Proect, una nilang pinag-usapan lutuin lamang ang putaheng authentic Chicken Inasal, dahil inasal siya na niluto sa uling subalit napagtanto nito na maaari palang gawin at ihain na may 'twist' ang buong Pinoy cookbook tulad ng crispy brussel sprout kasama ang kare-kare sauce at black bean bagoong.

Today, we're spinning the globe with not one but two interviews, thanks to our friend and colleague Rebecca Bellan, who's been in Auckland, New Zealand for the past three years. She recently hopped across the Tasman to Australia to report on the startup scene in Australia, and is coming back to us with a temperature check on VC in the Antipodes.Rebecca spoke to two Aussie VCs: Dan Krasnostein from Square Peg and Gabrielle Munzer from Main Sequence. Rebecca and our guests dug into why early stage funding is popping off in the region, the government's role in growing a startup ecosystem, fintech, climate tech, and what it's like to compete and collaborate with Silicon Valley.In addition to these conversations, Rebecca wrote a few deep dive stories from her time in Australia, including a look at its burgeoning climate tech scene and some of the people who are fighting to lift women up in the ecosystem. Rebecca also chatted with Canva — the SaaS darling of Australia — to learn how the company is embracing generative AI at its core and pursuing more B2B clients.We have one more episode to share before saying goodbye to 2023.

Everything you must know before you refinance: https://www.prosolution.com.au/ebook/===================Share markets have been highly volatile over the past couple of years. Markets fell by circa 30% when Covid hit in March 2020 and then proceeded to boom until the end of 2021, fuelled by government stimulus and zero interest rates. However, markets fell by circa 20% in 2022 after central banks aggressively hiked rates. It's been a wild ride. Arguably, these large volatility events should have made it a lot easier for active fund managers to beat the index. Share market mispricing, overreactions and volatility should create profitable opportunities for active managers. I wanted to investigate whether this was the case. What is an active manager?An active manager picks a basket of stocks that they believe will generate high investment returns. Active managers can achieve that using two primary methodologies. They can try to identify undervalued stocks on the hope that their market value eventually rises to what they believe is fair value (that is called a value manager). Alternatively, they can identify companies that are likely to generate a lot of growth in the future, with less focus on whether they are fairly valued (that is called a growth manager). The truth is that there are lots of different strategies that active managers use, and it could be a combination of value and growth. Because active fund managers need to employ a portfolio management team, they typically charge management fees of around 1% p.a. What is an index fund? Traditionally, an index fund invests in an index of the most valuable companies. For example, A200 is the lowest-cost Australian market index fund – it charges an investment fee of only 0.04% p.a. (e.g., fee on $100k invested is only $40 p.a.). It invests in the ASX 200 index which is the most valuable 200 companies listed on the ASX. For example, the total value of the largest 200 companies is $2.1 trillion. BHP's value (market capitalisation) is circa $240 billion, being approximately 11% of the total index – Australia's most valuable company. Therefore, if you invest in A200, 11% of your money will be invested in BHP. 7.8% in CBA. 6.5% in CSL and so on. An index fund is simply a managed fund that invests in a very broad basket of companies. The manager uses a rules-based approach for determining which stocks are included in that basket and how much to invest in each, such as the ASX 200. Because it uses a rules-based approach, it doesn't need to employ costly portfolio managers and as such, the fees charged by index funds are very low. What happened last year? As I said in my opening paragraph, large movements in share markets caused by one or two major external factors often create obvious investment opportunities. Theoretically, active managers should be able to exploit these opportunities to generate higher returns. Therefore, I thought it would be interesting to investigate how active managed funds performed over the 2022 calendar year. The table below shows that less than half of active managers beat the index in the 2022 calendar year. Only one quarter of active managers in the US and one-third of Australian managers have beaten the market over the past 3 years (i.e., the volatile covid period). Proportion of active funds that outperformed the index |   | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | 10 years | 15 years | US Market | 48.92% | 25.73% | 13.49% | 8.59% | 6.60% | Australian Market | 42.44% | 34.68% | 18.82% | 21.78% | 16.43%Source: SPIVALonger term results are evTo subscribe to Stuart's blog: https://www.prosolution.com.au/stay-connected/
