Insignia Financial (ASX:IFL), formerly IOOF, also soared over 11% today on the back of FY22 results being released including the company swinging to a profit in the financial year.On the losing front, Woolworths (ASX:WOW) shares were sold off today following the release of the company's FY22 results including EBIT falling 2.7% and the company taking lower margins as customers shift away from price-inflated products like beef and fresh veggies.

A member of Teoronto #8 of the IOOF and Northern Star #715 of the GUOOF, he shares his personal journey to Odd Fellowship and some of the creative solutions he's used to help build his GUOOF lodge like having the brothers provide security for community events, partnering with the local Rotary chapter, and renting out the meeting room at Dunkin' Donuts on Friday nights to do community outreach.

It was a silent night for markets, as Wall Street was closed for the Labor Day public holiday. European equities are approaching record levels. Tech stocks in Europe increased 1.6%, leading the major European indices higher, after the US jobs report revealed US jobs are growing at their slowest pace in 7 months. The US Central Bank may need to keep monetary policy as is, and not scale back on bond buying. This will keep bond yields and interest rates lower for longer. The Aussie share market is set to open higher, with the futures suggesting a lift of 0.2%. What to watch today: All eyes will be on tech stocks today. Tech stocks rose 1.2% on the ASX yesterday. Appen (ASX:APX) rose 4.6%, Redbubble (ASX:RBL) rose 3.5% and Technology One (ASX:TNE) rose 2.2%. The aluminium price hit a decade high overnight, amid political unrest in Guinea. Global stimulus and the push for climate change investment and tighter supply, has pushed aluminium up 40% this year. This is supporting stocks such as Alumina (ASX:AWC), which rose 3% yesterday and 19% last week. The 15 and 30 day moving averages and the MACD technical indicators, are both suggesting AWC could continue to rally. Also watch other aluminium stocks such as South32 (ASX:S32). The iron ore price last traded 3% higher at US$144.83, while the copper price is steady. And the oil price fell below US$69, as it continues to lose momentum after the weaker than expected US jobs report. Companies going ex-dividend today include Amcor (ASX:AMC), BlueScope (ASX:BSL), IOOF (ASX:IFL), IGO (ASX:IGO) and Origin Energy (ASX:ORG). One of the most traded stocks by Bell Direct clients yesterday was Fortescue Metals (ASX:FMG), which fell 11% after it went ex-dividend. FMG shares are now 30% cheaper than they were in July this year. The technical indicators suggest FMG shares could continue to fall, while the MACD flagged a bullish signal, suggesting this could be the end of FMG's downtrend. In economic news, the RBA meets for the first time this month today at 2:30pm AEST. Rates are tipped to remain on hold at 0.1%. However, all eyes are on the Central Bank's decision to change its timetable for buying government bonds, with $4 billion of bonds being bought by the RBA until at least the 11th November 2021. Trading Ideas: Cobram Estate Olives (ASX:CBO) was rated for the first time by Bell Potter as a new BUY stock, with a price target of $2.30, implying 14% share price growth in a year. Bullish charting signals have been identified in IOUPay (ASX:IOU), Polynovo (ASX:PNV) and Firefinch (ASX:FFX), according to Trading Central.

George Sliney, a young immigrant from County Cork, Ireland, rode out along Owl Creek in Wyoming Territory in the latter half of the 19th Century and staked a claim that would become his cattle ranch. Over time, he would become one of the most prominent citizens of Hot Springs County and the city of Thermopolis. He was also a member of Thermopolis Lodge #26, IOOF. That obscure footnote of history would eventually inspire Bradyn Harvey and Gage Maser to join the Odd Fellows and revive the charter of Lodge #26, but this time bearing the name of pioneer settler George Sliney. Although it took two years and much searching, Bradyn was eventually able to find PG Steve Masters and join Riverton Lodge #44. Not long after he set about the task of reviving the charter for his home town lodge in Thermopolis. Odd Fellowship is definitely a hot commodity in Wyoming these days as plans are also underway to revive the lodge in Casper. In the Odd Podge, Ainslie gives an update on the progress of the Odd Fellows Primer, Toby gives an update on the project to record new versions of the Odes, and Christopher praises the cleanliness of the bathrooms at Buckley Lodge #75.
It's another crossover episode with our brothers and friends at Modern Goat Rider! Ours is the second half of the crossover so be sure to download and listen to Episode 29 of Modern Goat Rider to get all the context for this episode of the Three Links Odd Cast. In the first half of the crossover we discuss how Odd Fellowship would have been different today if we had made changes in the past. For our half of the episode, we're guessing about how things would be different going forward if changes were made now. Among the items of speculation: if Abby from NCIS were a member, would she be an Odd Fellow or Rebekah? Is it feasible going forward with three different orders of Odd Fellows (Manchester Unity, GUOOF, and IOOF)? How will lodges be different after COVID? Will there be more embrace of technology? Will they lose members or gain members? Is the isolation of COVID lockdowns and quarantines driving demand for membership? Are our lodges prepared for new members in a post-COVID world? What would be different if local political leaders were members of our lodges? Would that help direct lodge resources to areas of need or would that encourage political discord to enter our lodge halls? Give a listen while we propose how Odd Fellowship could be different going forward. If you've got a response to our conjecture, be sure and share it with us on our website, http://www.threelinksoddcast.com.

Welcome to Finance and Fury Today we are discussing the concentration risk Last week – how the modern banking system acts like dominos failing– Due to their liabilities and obligations to one another this week – look at the other side of the balance sheet – Which is the Equity Holders – Shareholders – who owns the shares of banks Also – the concentration risk that just a handful of companies have in the overall size/weight of the Aus Share Market. Plus – Look at two events that every bank just did as this is a real-world example Concentration in the index – Complex with lots of elements – break down major ones Remember – Big 4 banks – including Macquarie = 5 of the top 8 companies on ASX by market cap Australian bank shares – ownership and connectivity – beyond the derivative concentration representing 23% of ASX300 - IMF report in 2012: big four controlled 88% of residential mortgages and 80% of deposits. biggest six American banks held 30% of total deposits not just banking: the big four own 53% of life insurance premiums, 57.3% of retail investment funds through bank-owned platforms – Insurance and investment sides to banks also purchase shares on the ASX – of which they make up a large chunk This can just further increase the concentration risk of markets – if an investment manager owns 5% of a share and sells, that moves the prices down – a lot – average daily volume is about 0.15% - both buys and sells - Beyond banks owning their own shares directly – Subsidiaries – Investments, Banks – through super funds, investment managers, insurance companies – either buy them through own subsidiary or another bank – Super funds (investment managers) – Industry/index funds – hold shares on the ASX - Example – Aus Super – Balanced fund has $100bn in it – 22% allocation – range of 10-45% ASX market cap – $1.6-$2trn depending on the market cycle – $2trn now, but $1.8trn middle ground What can easily lead to a downturn in the share market? What if you have $2.8tn across all super funds – plus $100bn inflow p.a. – and super investment managers decide to dump the ASX? –strategic ‘rebalancing’ or ‘profit-taking’ If the target is 25% to AS – a drop in exposure by 10% down from 35% - selling shares/index – ASX $2trn – a sale of a super fund in Aus shares by 10%, sale of 14% of shares held on the ASX – that is a lot of power to move a market – top 20 super funds have around $1.3trn of the super investments also a lot of power in the property market - cover more in another episode Names on the list – Broken up between Public Sector, Industry or Retail (banks) – Pretty equally split in % of top 20 Of the retail funds – about $420bn in 8 – Bank Subs or non-bank financial services MLC Super (NAB), CFS Super (CBA), Retirement Wrap (BT), OnePath super – ANZ AMP super – 2 funds, IOOF super, and Mercer (owned by USA insurance company – Marsh & McLennan) Bank Major holdings – Blackrock entities – 3 of the top 10 for every bank but NAB – ‘Advisors, Management, UK’ Macquarie has about 7% of its shares But this is who the owners are – banks use custodial holding companies – HSBC, JPM, CitiGroup – 40-55% between 3 Beyond just being investors in one another and Concentration through connectivity and custodial power – Banks are Counterparty to each other – either a lender/borrower to one another – derivatives last week example of one side But big 4 banks are highly interconnected - each other’s largest counterparties – nobody else is big enough the connection is far from direct ownership of shares – but banks borrowing from each other, rather than owning large parts of each other – Balance sheet has assets and liabilities – Under lending laws – lenders get paid back before investors If a bank borrows another money, and one bank goes out of business – banks get any money first – shareholders probably get $0 – when you look at the size of the loans to overall ‘equity’ Thankfully for them – the global markets and companies are just as easily reached as domestic ones – financial services can fall under free trade Not so good for us – as when a banking crisis happens in USA – we get hit just as bad Requiring each other – as there is so much money needed only one of the other big four can normally help Banks fund costs through short term debt securities – why hold cash – when you can use it to lend at 3.5% and borrow at 1.5% interest – like funding your lifestyle on CC and investing the rest of the money – then trying to repay the debt using your investment earnings – doesn’t work unless you can consistently get over 22% p.a. returns on an investment to outpace the accumulation of debt – but if you got 22% investing, and card was 2% - who wouldn’t do that? When there is a crash in the banking system – hard to fund expenses as nobody wants to lend to you – GFC – Called liquidity crisis – but in reality, was an insolvency crisis – two different things – as banks don’t even have the assets to fund any ‘bank runs’ Further hastens the decline in share values due to cashflow losses – rule of business: cant meet expenses = bankrupt If you look at a banks balance sheet – almost worthless – Shares themselves in Banks are insolvent in values – DB had total assets of 1.541 trillion dollars and total liabilities of 1.469 trillion dollars – difference of $72bn is in shareholder equity CBA – Total assets $975bn – liabilities at $907bn – What is lest is shareholder equity – 7% of assets WBC - Total assets $880bn – liabilities at $815bn – $64.5bn left or 7.3% of assets Most banks run on this margin - Hsbc – massive value of assets - $2.56 trillion total assets - Remember – Loans to you are assets to banks – if you borrow = liability Banks values come from the ability to make money – Price is What we will pay for shares Bank shares – Total equity or market cap – or what shares are worth on market prices CBA - $146.5bn – 7.4% - Shareholder Equity (book value) - $67bn – Banks assets minus liabilities WBC - $99bn – 5%, ANZ - $80bn – 4%, NAB - $75bn – 4%, MQG - $42.7bn – 2% But if they lose a small margin in assets = no equity left – Regulators aware – hence the recent issues of debt and equity These are becoming heavily controlled – legislated – APRA forcing banks to increase their reserve capital – money against loans This is done through issuing ‘Subordinated notes’ - this is part of the Bail-in regulations that are being put into place Issue debt – they call it bonds – but notes with provisions of write off if APRA determines it is necessary Reason for doing this? Banks liquidity - Issue equity – raise money from creating new shares and converting them Balance sheet 101 – if someone buys your debt (i.e. you borrow money) – if your assets don’t go up to match it = negative This is where the balance sheet of a bank best maximises its profits when it gets as close to 0% net assets reflect But if they issue debt, they need equity to balance the books – this is where shares are issued to counteract major Banks are doing both – creating new shares and selling them in chunks – to other banks/financial companies – issuing billions of $ in shares to the other – SIBs or SIFIs (terms in the big to fail eps – where to invest and where not to) Issuing shares where the trading can be legislated – ban sales – easier to do than the unpopular approach of shutting the market down - But newly created Common Equity Tier 1 capital to offset the increased liabilities – which are used as capital reserves – but dilutes the number of shares – unless profits grow by more, dividends suffer Where value comes from? – Future cash flows and profits – Based on debts and leverage – Profit from both ends – Investment firms buy bank shares – Or new corporate debt in banks if they are fixed interest managers – Odd thing – Banks were told by APRA to raise $500m (approx.) in reserves – But they seem to be quadrupling Debt in USD – by CBA, NAB -, $1.5bn - WBC - $2.25bn USD, ANZ – strangely has in AUD floating – well issues new FPO shares and the buyers were themselves and JP Morgan NAB – Just Citigroup Global Markets alone - 38m shares - $26.28 = $1bn to offset the notes Probably going to be costly – Interest payments on this – dilution of profits for dividends to existing shareholders The solution to holding more on the balance sheet as ‘capital reserves’ = fund it with debt that can be traded away in the future - Does this make sense? Remember – you are giving them $1,000 upfront – so if the notes go to $200, or are converted at that value, or not honoured – which is allowed if 5 days pass without the conversions occurring upon APRA notifying a bank - The complex connections don’t end there – a lot of these conversion laws are regulated in US laws – USD face values At this stage, looks to be a similar lead up to pre-GFC – Instead of MBS – debt products with mortgages as backing assets - Now with bail-ins you take investor money for debt, which can then be written off if APRA determines a bank may become non-viable While you may not directly own these notes – A lot of the retail and industry Investment managers are the largest holders of banks – and also banknotes – through super or some index funds, you are indirectly invested in these Ongoing protection racket – protection that is provided isn’t for the individual investors - if it works once, may as well give it another go Lead into next episode – what are super funds doing with your money?

Welcome to the On the Money Podcast, your weekly run down on all things financial. On the show this week: what is happening with the IOOF? The financial advice company IOOF is in hot water after APRA’s action wipes over $900 million off the share market, and with their Managing Director and Chairman facing court over claims of mismanagement. These annoucements could not have come at a worse time as the company is planning to purchase ANZ’s superannuation business, OnePath Super, later this year. The two Directors have since been removed, and the new CEO, Alan Griffith, is asking the public to trust them once more. All indications are that the deal will still go ahead – but should it? Daniel Elison discusses the latest developments with Jerry Parwada, Professor of Finance at UNSW and AGSM Fellow. On The Money premiers their brand new segment – Hot Off The Press – wherein our producers give you the lowdown on all the hottest finance, business and economics events and new media. The segment launch features an interview with Dominic Kelly, author of Political Troglodytes and Economic Lunatics, who sits down with producer Veronika Aleshina to discuss the history of Australia’s industrial relations, and the evolution of the Hard Right, neo-liberal attitudes we are witnessing play out within our economy today.

Guest producer Michael Lester from Northern Beaches FM speaks with Professor Virginia Barber from the Queensland University of Technology interrogate the peer-review publication business model.
