Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Tavi Costa of Crescat Capital to discuss the potential for a bull market in precious metals, particularly gold and silver. They believe that the current undervaluation of the metals and mining industry, coupled with various macroeconomic trends, presents an attractive investment opportunity. Tavi highlights the potential for increased M&A activity in the gold mining sector and the importance of finding major discoveries in the juniors. They also discuss the potential impact of ESG policies and green agendas on gold production. Tavi Costa suggests that silver is worth paying attention to, citing factors such as increased imports from India and declining production from Peru and Mexico. He sees silver as a monetary and inflationary hedge. They discuss the macroeconomic indicators pointing towards a potential recession, as well as potential opportunities in the commodity space. Tavi Costa offers insights into the Argentine and Brazilian economies and suggests potential solutions to currency and investment issues in Brazil.

► Episode Notes: Who's been buying smart plugs – and who's been getting them for free?! Find out on this week's PlayingFTSE Show! Steve and Steve are talking investing this week. Steve W has a REIT and a macroeconomic update and Steve D is looking at two companies that reported earnings recently. In consumption news this week, both Steves have been looking at understanding well-known businesses a bit better. Steve D has been looking at a write-up of Dsney and Steve W has been listening to a podcast about Coca-Cola, but why have these been catching their attention this week? Next, it's a macroeconomics update – we've got inflation news, GDP data, and consumer strength. But why are the Steves nervous about the future despite the news that the UK seems set to avoid a recession this year and the US is headed for a soft landing? We're following that with Wise – a cross-border payment processor that we've talked about on the show a few times. With impressive growth and more to come, is now the time to buy or should investors wait for the tough comps to move out of the way? Next is a REIT. Steve W's been talking about a few specialist operators recently, so here's one that owns basically everything that's left in the UK. And we're finishing with Tencent. The big just keep getting bigger with a massive domestic market to play in, but the thing really catching the eye at the moment is they seem to have access to chips that their rivals Alibaba don't… Only on this week's PlayingFTSE Podcast! ► What We Consumed This Week:Business Breakdowns: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0iisxRW9EOT6gFh9vh1zfr?si=fZTTo64ETGO8KJQMyRSujgThe Science of Hitting: https://thescienceofhitting.com/p/disney-the-turning-point ► Support the show: Appreciate the show and want to offer your support?

The study of economics is often viewed as a battle between two worldviews. Proverbs 11:1 underscores this, stating, "A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight." This verse not only condemns dishonesty but also accentuates the importance of integrity. This theme is a central focus in this lecture by Mike Winther on basic economic principles. Economics becomes particularly fascinating when viewed in the context of this larger conflict. Mike presents a perspective distinct from the common narratives on energy policy, healthcare, prices, and recession found in the news. The Bible offers solutions to our current economic challenges, and Mike discusses the benefits of understanding and embracing a biblical worldview.   You'll Learn: [00:41] Proverbs 11:1 The lord abhors dishonest scales. Accurate weights are his delight. [01:26] We are battling between honest weights and measures and dishonest weights and measures. [01:47] What if you or someone you knew had the solution to America's healthcare crisis?  Would it be important for society to know these solutions? [02:31] The Bible contains the economic solutions for all of our current problems. [03:35] Mike talks about why the biblical worldview isn't taught frequently enough from the pulpit. [07:26] Parents need to be hands on with what their kids are being taught.  [09:52] Economics is an evangelistic field of study. Every academic discipline is a field for evangelism. [10:59] The invisible hand is God. [11:53] Economics is really the rules of the house. Economics is the study of property. It's the study of resources.  [15:11] Are money issues moral issues? [16:54] Microeconomics is the study of economics related to a household or business. [17:23] Macroeconomics is the study of an entire economy. Economic laws and truths apply in both fields. [19:43] Mike talks about scarcity and supply and demand. [20:06] Capital is the key to the study of economics. It's the means of production. It can also be excess production. [22:53] Excess production is profit. [23:48] There are two broad economic systems in the world. There's the free market economy or laissez-faire. To be left alone or government hands off. [24:34] The other economic system is socialism. From each according to his ability to each according to his need. This implies a central pooling of resources. [25:36] The common pooling of resources is mandatory and forced. [27:11] Communism is a form of socialism. Karl Marx gives 10 ways on how to bring socialism to a system.  [28:11] Eight of these points have to do with the abolition and infringement of private property. [31:25] The free market system is the only system compatible with God given rights. [36:20] Economic schools of thought. Keynesian economics is really socialist economics. It's an economic model of government control. [37:01] The Austrian School of economics is the purest version of free market economics. [40:26] Who benefits from economic transactions? [42:49] Money is a key concept of economics. Money is a medium of exchange, a store of value, and a unit of measurement. [44:16] The five important qualities of money include having intrinsic value, durability, divisibility, transportability, and scarcity. [49:57] Mike talks about how inflation is a form of theft. [52:17] Supply and demand. As prices go up, businesses supply more. A lot of people will buy an affordable product. Where supply and demand meet on the curb is where the price should be.   Your Resources: Books to browse Five Principles By Michael Winther The Communist Manifesto The Revolution The Creature from Jekyll Island

Hannes Mueller is a tenured researcher at the Institute for Economic Analysis, a researcher center of the Spanish National Research Council. He also directs the master's program in Data Science for Decision Making at the Barcelona Graduate School of Economics. Most recently, his research focus has been on how conflict can be predicted using millions of newspaper articles – a project which drives the conflictforecast.org website. This research project has become a key resource for global work on conflict prevention and has led to collaborations with the Spanish Central Bank, the German Federal Foreign Office, the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, the UN, World Bank, and many others. This conversation was a tour de force and covered a lot of topics: from taxes and trust, to fiscal capacity as a dimension of state capacity, to fragility and the macroeconomic implications of violent conflict, to forecasting conflict using machine learning and implications for policy makers. Hannes gives us a live demonstration of conflictforecast.org and if you're interested in how AI can help us forecast conflict then this is the conversation for you! ***** Hannes Mueller Website: https://www.hannesfelixmueller.com Conflict forecast: https://conflictforecast.org LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannes-mueller-research/ ***** Mihaela Carstei, Paul M.

Learn the business economics - the metrics that matter - for your business. Matt Reynolds dives into macroeconomics and microeconomic or unit statistics, healthy rates, and how to calculate these statistics. You don't know the health of your business if you don't know these metrics. Business Economics: Know the Health of Your Business You cannot go off how you feel about your business to know if your business is doing well. The reality is real, and if you fail to know the economic realities of your business, the economic realities will confront you when abject failure slaps you in the face. It's okay, though. Even if the metrics are bad or trending in the wrong direction, have a true, clear picture helps you identify problems and where you need to put your energy and effort to turn things around. If your waist goes up month after month, you're getting unhealthier, whether you're measuring it or not. These metrics give you an objective measuring standard to assess your business' health. Business Economics: Metrics that Matter for Your Business Matt goes through each metric one-by-one. First, though, here are the metrics, organized into macroeconomic or business-level and microeconomic or unit-level. Macroeconomic (business-level) top line revenue cost of goods gross margin or gross profit operating expenses net profit Microeconomic (unit-level) churn rate (or retention rate) number of subscribers average ticket price lifetime value of client (LTV) per gross revenue per gross margin/profit customer acquisition cost (CAC) CAC:LTV ratio (as gross margin) monthly recurring revenue (MRR) Business Economics: Macroeconomic Metrics that Matter The first and easiest metric to calculate is top line revenue. This is the money that is coming in over a period of time, typically calculated monthly (and eventually quarterly and annually - though quarterly and annual numbers matter more for larger businesses). Whether you're looking at Stripe, ACH, the business bank account, this is simply calculating all the incoming money in a month. The cost of goods is the cost to produce the good itself. So, for producing a product, this is the cost of materials you purchase that go into the item and costs such as shipping. For a service business such as Barbell Logic, this looks like the pay to the 1099 contractor coaches per client. You calculate gross margin or gross profit by subtracting the cost of goods from top line revenue. Next, you need to identify operating expenses. These are things that are required for the business but not directly related to producing the individual service or good. This might be payroll for full-time employees, printer ink, paying for a new computer, squat racks, or taking a client to lunch. The last critical business-level metric to determine is your net profit. You calculate this by subtracting your operating expenses from your gross profit. This is truly how much money the business is making each month. If you're a one-man team, then you get paid from this. If you lose money, you don't get paid. As the owner or CEO, though, while you get paid last you also get fired last. Business Economics: Microeconomic Metrics that Matter Calculate your churn rate. This is the percentage of clients you lose each month. The retention rate is the opposite (100% - churn rate). Next note your number of subscribers. Matt says subscribers, because a customer who makes a one-time purchase (a one-time coaching session or purchases one widget) does not lead you to know what your recurring revenue is. You don't have recurring revenue in this situation. Next know your average ticket price. What are your subscribers paying each month on average. The number of subscribers multiplied by average ticked price equals your monthly recurring revenue (MRR). An important statistic to calculate is your lifetime value of client (LTV - especially at gross margin). The first thing you need to do is calculate the average customer lifespan. Divide 100 by the churn rate. So, for example, if you have 10% churn your average customer lifespan is 10 months. Below are more business economics metrics. MRR x average customer lifespan = LTV (at gross revenue) LTV (at gross revenue) x gross margin = LTV (at gross revenue) Calculate your customer acquisition cost (CAC) by adding together all efforts to acquire customers. This includes marketing, sales, ads, and content you produce to market (e.g. you create a weekly newsletter, podcast, or maintain a YouTube channel). The CAC:LTV ratio is important. 1:2 ratio is considered unhealthy or unsustainable. 1:3 is considered healthy. If your ratio  is significantly less than 1:3 (e.g. 1:28) you should likely spend more money to acquire customers. These are the metrics that matter to your business.
