#564 I'm here today with major news. That news is… that you should go check your calendar. To be honest, I'm not that great at this April Fool's thing, so let's just get into the real topic of today's show, shall we? This marketing thing—what would it look like if it were simple, as Tim Ferriss likes to ask? I think it would look like telling stories. If you've helped someone with your product or service, then tell their story. Better yet, let them tell their story. Story and storytelling are so, so important. They're the key to great marketing. We're going to talk about creating a StoryBrand (Donald Miller), telling great stories on TikTok, how to find the “heroes of the story” in your audience, and more.

MARCUS SPI - We address the current conundrum - Dead Cat bounce or meaningful bottom? We look at the average correction, the worst-case scenario and do some amateur technical analysis all of which points to the same conclusion. We do a few ASK MARCUS replies and warn you about the RBA today - could they suddenly harden up?Why not sign up for a free trial?

Still waking up wondering whether the US has moved 1000 points and that tells the whole story.  We are in uncertain times. We aren't going to cash up the portfolios, it's not precipitous so much as 'grinding' but the message to those who have cashed up is that there is no rush back in. This year looks like hard work compared to last. We look at what the Fed delivered last night, the risk of a Ukraine shock and we look at a few RSI sell signals, a few oversold stocks and mention a few ideas, the best one of which is to give the stock market away for a while and go and play golf.  Why not sign up for a free trial? Get access to expert insights and independent research and become a better investor.

We look at the unprecedented volatility overnight as the market runs scared of the Russians invading the Ukraine and the FOMC raising rates on Thursday. A higher than expected Australian inflation number this morning hasn't helped.  We discuss whether we should be buying or selling and the reasons to be miserable or cheerful. Is this correction 'normal' or 'precipitous' is the question and we have a stab at answering that.  Why not sign up for a free trial? Get access to expert insights and independent research and become a better investor.

We have closed all the short term trades in the IDEAS section, declared a mild desire to hold more cash but haven't done anything about it yet, we look at the trend in the US market (breaking the uptrend) and provide a fabulous spreadsheet listing all the ASX listed ETPs - Exchange Traded Products - includes all the ETFs and listed Managed Funds. We also look at all the most recently listed ETFs and in so doing identify all the latest "fads" in the stock market. Why not sign up for a free trial?

We survive the US CPI number and if anything it's provided a few reasons not to worry about interest rates - despite a record number. We are adding to BHP holdings today and discuss the imminent increase in the BHP index weightings in Australia. We talk about why you should ignore sell recommendations in FMG,   look at the Us results season that's about to start, sell DMP in the IDEAS section and herald a new IDEAS WATCHLIST focus moving forward.

A couple of new trading ideas today as we join JP Morgan in saying the recent tech sell-off has been overdone. We also look at debt, how it changes management and which companies will be disadvantaged by higher interest rates if and when we get them. We also talk POS and the Machiavellian plot , discuss a few themes in the portfolios,  and are on guard for the US CPI number tonight which is central to the interest rate debate.

#540 I've been hogging the mic here on the SPI Podcast. Yeah, I've shared some airspace with some amazing guests in the 500+ episodes we've published. But there are still so many talented, amazing teachers and storytellers in our community. I wanted to see what would happen if we had some of them join us on Fridays to share what they know with all of us. So today, we have the pleasure of bringing in SPI Pro community member Mike Lander, who you might remember from an earlier episode of AskPat. Mike helps people become better negotiators. He packs a ton of great insight into this short episode, including his simple, step-by-step guide to negotiate anything and get a better outcome every single time.

The US market is close to all-time highs, the Australian market has had a good year, the US market has had twice as good a year. The volumes on Wall Street last night were a record low for this year as we slide quietly into the Christmas Buffers without too much to worry about. As it should be.  Today I present you with a Marathon Education Article about "10 THINGS THAT WASTE YOUR TIME" as investors, some IDEAS that are bubbling away in the background and tomorrow I will regale you with all my PREDICTIONS for 2022, which include the likely and the ridiculous.   MT Christmas Advent Sale! This works like an advent calendar – we'll be revealing a new sale offer for you every other day until Christmas and you have two days to redeem each offer. Once it's gone, it's gone forever!Find out what is on offer today.

And the wheels on the bus go round and round - stay tuned for tomorrow's change of mood because we've had another one today. Omicron will not cause lockdowns says Biden and the Tech sector, Travel and Energy bounces.  Almost all the Australian BNPL stocks hit 52-week lows yesterday and are primed for a change of Tech mood. I'm not buying into it. Not keen on buying into anything in this sideways trade ahead of Christmas. We look at the ASX 200 and the S&P 500 technically - both are waiting for a new trend. I give you a prediction for the ASX 200 in 2022 and we give you a few IDEAS but have yet to action any of them.  

MT Christmas Advent Sale! This works like an advent calendar – we'll be revealing a new sale offer for you every other day until Christmas and you have two days to redeem each offer. Once it's gone, it's gone forever! Australia outperforming thanks to our lack of Tech. Omicron risk over the holidays. New lockdowns in Europe could upset Christmas. US GDP downgrades start. The new threat to growth is ill-timed considering the timetable for tapering and interest rate rises in the US. Biden's Bill delay doesn't help. A couple of ideas. No portfolio changes.  Find out what is on offer today.

#534 Today I'm digging back into the archives of the SPI Podcast to reveal my favorite episodes we've put out this year. I'll be sharing some of the most memorable moments from the show in 2021, and expressing my gratitude for the year that was in podcast land here at SPI. We've got a ton of great podcast content coming at you in 2022, and I can't wait for all of it. But for now, thanks for being here for the ride that was 2021. I appreciate you!

All getting a bit Ho Hum as we roll into Christmas. The Market has no momentum and we wait to see if the FOMC Meeting tonight can set a trend or kill it. Comments today on CSL's big acquisition and on WOW's profit warning yesterday. Both remain "Forever" stocks. Looking to reverse our cash call but there's no rush. A few technical observations finish off the section and will hopefully keep you amused whilst not much happens.    Sign up for a free trial to get full access to expert insights and independent stock market  research.

Back from a pointless attempt to star in the Victorian Senior Amateur Golf Championship and the Omicron risk has all but evaporated. The precipitous risk has passed - we are getting back into a couple of sold stocks, adding an idea and declaring the intention to reverse the cashing up decision at an appropriate moment. 

No need to be buying into the current trend. Happy to be cashed up in the RBP and cashed up a bit in the FUFU and DAF portfolios. We've cleared out the IDEAS PORTFOLIO except for a holding in DMP.  Sitting back waiting for the market to decide if Omicron is a problem or a hiccup. Today we look at the winners and losers if Omicron's going to stay around a bit longer.   Why not sign up for a free trial?

All's well in the iron ore trades as the iron ore price pops again helped by Macquarie research. All the signs from the US to NZ suggest interest rates are going up. Another bit of property sector research says house prices are about to peak.  The Aussie dollar is falling. Holidays are getting cheaper in Europe. May have made a mistake in gold.

Quite a bit going on today - We have sold a Forever stock, bought two trades and added a couple of stocks to the WATCHLIST.  Lots of strategy themes and a bit of portfolio news. We also compare Australia's ASX 200 to the S&P 500 and make some interesting observations. Why not sign up for a free trial?

Powell back in with a mandate to contain inflation. Rates rise, the US dollar rises and Gold and Technology stocks fall. Hopes for Chinese policy easing boosts iron ore stocks. We may have timed the bottom on that after all. Gold on the nose as inflation war begins. The CBA are telling us mortgage rates are going up and the housing market will peak.  Chinese Tech on the nose again.  Robinhood's shareholders going from rich to poor.  BHP and Woodside sign the deal and the prices pop. Australian Tech having a bad day.Why not sign up for a free trial? Get access to expert insights and independent research and become a better investor

Lots of news - AGM season in full flight as well as a few results around. The CBA fell 8% on its update yesterday. We look at what to do now. The Macquarie share purchase plan is coming up - we talk about that as well. Then there's the MIN AGM, the SHL AGM, the EVN acquisition (its up 8%), the SEK AGM, and a bunch of others.  We also look at XRO post results and update the IDEAS PORTFOLIO.Why not sign up for a free trial?

Routine day. CBA disappoints - like WBC. NIM down and losing home loan market share, presumably to Macquarie. No change to strategy. US$ pops giving resources a dull day. Good for international stocks but not commodity prices. Biden-Xi chat lands well. We've added a new stock to the IDEAS PORTFOLIO.  Have also published a WATCHLIST which might interest some of you.  Why not sign up for a free trial? Get access to expert insights and independent research and become a better investor.

Not much going on today. We look at money printing.  Wonder when "The Big One" is coming.  Two new ideas today and the first incarnation of the IDEAS PORTFOLIO. Telstra's Investor Day doesn't disturb.  Resources and Gold turn up on the Technical buy signals list. DAF (Dividends and Franking) Portfolio on its way this week. Why not sign up for a free trial?

Today I launch the new FUFU portfolio. Find out which stocks meet our "Forever" criteria and which don't. We also have a good look at the US CPI number and wonder if it will be the catalyst for a correction. There is a new IDEA OF THE DAY and we look at the Australian jobs number which is weaker than expected and has dropped the market this morning.    Why not sign up for a free trial?

Day two of the MARCUS SPI section. We did the RBP (really boring portfolio) yesterday and have turned our attention to the FUFU portfolio today. It will be published soon. In the meantime, we have the first FUFU stock for you and a couple of early ideas in the IDEAS section.    Why not sign up for a free trial?

Today we introduce the new MARCUS SPI section, your go to spot for Strategy Portfolios and Ideas. Today we do a strategy roundup and tackle the REALLY BORING PORTFOLIO (RBP) which involves restructuring the existing ETF portfolio into a long-term market matching portfolio with a strategy overlay. We have moved all the fun ETFs into Henry's charge, he has started an ACTIVE ETF PORTFOLIO today. NAB results looked okay today but the share prices dropped. Why not sign up for a free trial?

I'll be dropping a new episode every Friday to dive deeper into our Wednesday's guest interview.

Welcome to Follow-Up Fridays!

Last week, I was featured on the Smart Passive Income podcast. The SPI Podcast is one of the biggest shows in online business. The host, Pat Flynn, has been podcasting for nearly a decade, has published somewhere close to 2,000 episodes of his shows, and the SPI podcast has had more than 60 million downloads all time! Pat was on the show back in August of 2020 with his business partner, Matt Gartland. And the two of them spoke about the future of SPI, and how they were focused on growing the business through partnerships and acquisitions. Well, as you may or may not know, back in December 2020, SPI acquired one of my businesses – my accelerator and private community, Unreal Collective. And as a result, I now lead Community Experience for SPI. They’ve been wildly supportive and encouraging of my other projects, including my writing, this podcast, and Freelancing School. In fact, this episode with Pat on the SPI podcast is talking specifically about freelancing, and how I’m serving freelancers THROUGH Freelancing School. And at the end of this episode, I offer for listeners to save 25% on my Freelancing School courses using the code “SPI” at checkout.  Save 25% on Freelancing School Transcript and show notes can be found here Try Podia and save 15% for life as a Creative Elements listener Earn money by sharing this show Join our community on Facebook Want to support this show?

Back at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, when so many people were getting laid off, I thought, I can help these people. I know what it's like. I got laid off in 2008, and I turned lemons into lemonade. Media outlets turned to me as an expert to help people get through it. Want to know how they found me? Because I hired a PR strategist who put me right where I needed to be—in front of their eyes. For this episode of the SPI Podcast, I invited my PR agent, Brittney L. Lynn, to talk about how she and her team help people get media attention. She's super cool, and so generous giving us some tools to do this PR work on our own.

#181: Jon Powers, CleanCapital Jon Powers, is a true warrior, and a veritable solar warrior.
