What does it take to build a breakout non-alcoholic beverage brand in today's ultra-competitive drinks market? For George Youmans, co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Hiyo, it starts with a crystal-clear brand promise: a stress-relieving, mood-boosting sensation they call “the float.”In just three years, Hiyo has grown into a category leader, selling over 500,000 cases annually, with +212% year-over-year retail sales growth — making it the #1 contributor to growth in the functional-other beverage category, according to SPINS. With its USDA Organic formulation, a national rollout in 946 Target stores, and a recent minority investment from Constellation Brands, Hiyo is cementing its place as a top player in the fast-rising functional non-alc space.In this episode, George shares:How Hiyo went from a bootstrapped pandemic idea to tripling retail revenue last yearThe role of e-commerce in Hiyo's early success, including a 10X sales leap in year two and 3X in year threeWhy the “floaty feeling” — not just functional ingredients — became the emotional core of the brandHow the team leverages its 500K+ DTC customer base to drive velocity at retail with targeted geo campaignsWhy Hiyo prioritizes rate of sale over door count, aiming for sustainable growth over splashy expansionHow packaging design — based on Californian sunset palettes — became a brand differentiatorThe importance of staying operationally lean while growing fast — and what George learned from early forecasting mistakesHow event partnerships with EDC, HARD Summer, and Breakaway Music Festival support liquid-to-lips trial with over 300,000 festivalgoersWhy George believes Hiyo can be for hard seltzers and RTDs what Athletic Brewing is for beerLast Call: On Last Call, we dive into a new per-capita wine consumption map from Visual Capitalist and the NIAAA — and what it reveals about:Why wine consumption is lowest in the Midwest and SouthHow D.C. became the nation's most wine-loving "state"The surprising disconnect between income, control states, and wine salesWhy tasting room visitation may be dropping in California — but rising in states like Michigan and VirginiaDon't miss our next episode, dropping on June 4.For the latest updates, follow us:Business of Drinks:YouTubeLinkedInInstagram @bizofdrinksErica Duecy, co-host: Erica Duecy is founder and co-host of Business of Drinks and one of the drinks industry's most accomplished digital and content strategists.

It's Wednesday, December 4th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark 1,500 people loot harvest of Christians in India Christian Solidarity Worldwide reports eight villages in India's central state of Chhattisgarh  banned Christians last month. The village resolutions told Christians to either leave or renounce their faith in Christ. Otherwise, the believers would have their property and fields looted. The resolutions affect about 100 Christians. Soon after, a mob of 1,500 people, many of them Hindus, looted the harvest of the Christians who received little assistance from local police. Forty villagers had to leave their homes following the looting. In Luke 18:29-30, Jesus said, “There is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children for the sake of the kingdom of God, who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.” South Korean president declares Martial Law (audio of South Korean protestors) South Korea  erupted in chaos on Tuesday after President Yoon Suk Yeol issued a martial law declaration. Yoon claimed he was trying to eliminate “anti-state” forces at work among his political opponents in the country. He accuses them of sympathizing with communist North Korea.  It's the first martial law declaration since 1980. The military attempted to enter the Parliament building, and hundreds of people gathered to protest the move. South Korea's parliament quickly voted that the martial law declaration was invalid. Yesterday morning, President Yoon rescinded the declaration after the tense standoff, reports Reuters. 23 Conservative Party members voted for British euthanasia bill After the British Parliament voted for the euthanasia bill in a 330-275 vote, let the record show that 23 Conservative Party members joined 234 Labor Party members who voted for the bill. Conservative Party leader, and former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak,  a Hindu, voted in favor of the bill. However, previous Prime Ministers Boris Johnson, Theresa May, and Liz Truss had publicly stated opposition to the bill. Pro-death euthanasia laws have been incorporated into the ex-Christian nations of Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, and Australia; as well as Columbia and Ecuador. Trump picks reformer Kash Patel to lead FBI In the United States, President-elect Donald Trump announced last Saturday that Kash Patel is his pick to lead the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  Patel served during Trump's first administration as Chief of Staff for the Department of Defense and wrote the book entitled Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for Our Democracy.  In his endorsement of Patel's book, Trump wrote, “We will use this blueprint to help us take back the White House and remove these Gangsters from all of Government!” Appearing on CBS' Face the Nation, Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas commented on the pick. CRUZ: “He has a serious, professional background. He was a prosecutor. He was a public defender. He was a senior intelligence staffer on Capitol Hill. He was a senior intelligence staffer in the White House. He was the Chief of Staff of the Department of Defense. He was the deputy director of National Intelligence.  "And I got to say, all of the weeping and gnashing of teeth, all of the people pulling their hair out are exactly the people who are dismayed about having a real reformer come into the FBI and clean out the corrupted partisans who sadly have burrowed into senior career positions at the FBI.  "The FBI and the Department of Justice are two institutions incredibly important to the rule of law in the United States. I revere both. And one of the most tragic consequences of four years of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is both the DOJ and the FBI have been politicized and weaponized. And I think Kash Patel is a very strong nominee to take on the partisan corruption in the FBI."   Guttmacher: Abortions up 10% between 2020 and 2023 The U.S. Center for Disease Control has issued a report  indicating that the number of abortions in the U.S. had decreased by 2% between 2021 and 2022, and a 1% decrease between 2020 and 2022.  However, earlier this year, another report from the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute concluded the number of abortions in 2023 of 1,027,000 was a 10% increase between 2020 and 2023.  Medication abortions, which include those issued by "virtual clinics" through the mail, were up 31% in just three years. Today, 63% of abortions in the U.S. are medication abortions, and 37% are surgical abortions.  Office mortgage delinquency hit 10.4% The delinquency rate of office mortgages has spiked to 10.4%, just about where the index was in 2010, during that last great recession. Vacancy rates are higher than ever, causing defaults on these commercial loans. Visual Capitalist tracks the survival rate of U.S. businesses over the last 10 years. 35% are still functioning, with farming businesses touting the highest survival rate of 51%. Mining and technology companies were the lowest at 25% and 29% respectively. Bible sales grew 22% And finally, the sale of printed Bibles is up this year. U.S print book sales increased only 1% from January through October this year compared to last year. Meanwhile, printed Bible sales grew by 22% over the same period! In 2023, 14.2 million Bibles were sold in the U.S. During the first 10 months of this year alone, 13.7 million were sold. It's not clear what all is behind the increase in Bible sales. One theory was offered by Amy Simpson with Tyndale House Publishers who noted a growing interest in the Bible among Gen Z and college students. She said, “You have a generation that wants to find things that feel more solid.” Psalm 119:160 says, “The entirety of Your word is truth, and every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, December 4th, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

And car manufacturers are constantly seeking new ways to remove cost and improve the range of these battery packs. Part of their solution has been to tweak the chemistry of these batteries - but added value in one area sometimes necessitates a trade off in another.In this episode, Paul discusses the changing chemistry of lithium ion batteries in the EV market, the impact that this has on the economics of vehicles, and how consumers should be thinking about battery composition when considering their next EV purchase.For more research:"Exploring the Different Types of Lithium-Ion Batteries Used in Electric Vehicles" - Ioncore Technology"Charted: Lithium-Ion Batteries Keep Getting Cheaper" - Visual Capitalist"Battery cell prices fall to record low in September, says report" - Reuters"A new generation of cheaper batteries is sweeping the EV industry" - Canary MediaFollow Paul on LinkedIn.

The 2024 elections exceeded many expectations. Donald J. Trump is once again slated for the White House.He won in an electoral landslide and won the popular vote. He gained in almost every demographic. We look at some fiscal data and figure out why Gen Z and younger Millennials shifted the most toward Trump from 2020.Some people are really unhappy and feel their very livelihood and the world is in danger. After playing some clips of TikTok people melting down, I present a challenge to Christians. If you're happy or feel relief, avoid the trap of kicking people while they're down.

China is often called out for its excessive contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions, predominantly due to its huge reliance on coal power. However, at the same time it is the world leader in renewable energy generation and has a rapidly expanding electric vehicle industry. In this episode, James and Daisy discuss China's centrality to global climate action. Is China slowing down its use of fossil fuels? Should we be concerned about our high dependence on China for minerals and other resources? What can we learn from China's approach to transition? SOME RECOMMENDATIONS:China Dialogue was founded by Isabel Hilton, an international journalist, in 2006. It is an independent non-profit committed to accurately portraying China's development impacts across the Global South through geopolitically even-handed reporting and constructive dialogue. It is a useful place to get informed on what is going on in China. Climate Action Tracker – an independent scientific project that tracks government climate action and measures it against the globally agreed Paris Agreement. It tracks 39 countries and the EU, evaluating climate change mitigation targets, policies and actions. It is a great resource for seeing how countries are progressing towards achieving their climate goals. OTHER ADVOCATES, FACTS, AND RESOURCES:WRI: “China is the biggest emitter at 26.4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, followed by the United States at 12.5%.” However, this was as of 2019. According to Our World in Data, it looks like China's contribution to global emissions may have risen to 30.68% in 2022. This webpage also has some interesting graphs showing a breakdown of China's CO2 emissions by source.Rocky Mountain Institute: “China produces three-quarters of all lithium-ion batteries and 70 percent of cathode capacity and processes and refines more than half of the world's lithium, cobalt, and graphite.”Visual Capitalist has some nice graphs on the wind and solar power scale-up: “85% of solar PV is manufactured in China.”Our World in Data: “On the basis of cumulative CO2 emissions measured from 1751 through to 2017, China is responsible for 13% globally and about half of the United States' cumulative emissions.”IEA: “China accounts for almost 60% of new renewable capacity expected to become operational globally by 2028.”Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) – a massive China-led infrastructure project seeking to connect Asia with Africa and Europe via land and maritime networks. Read more about it in this explainer from Chatham House. Soltecture (formerly Sulfurcell) was the German company James referred to that develop and produce thin film solar cells. Jack Ma co-founded Alibaba, one of the world's largest e-commerce businesses. Lauri Myllyvirta is a Senior Fellow at the China Climate Hub, a global non-profit dedicated to understanding Asia through policy, arts, and education.Jeanne-Marie Gescher – one of the world's leading experts on China.

Three news stories summarized & contextualized by analytic journalist Colin Wright.Russia mourns victims of concert shootingSummary: On Sunday, Russia marked a day of mourning for the victims of an attack on a concert hall on the outskirts of Moscow, during which at least 133 people were killed and more than 150 were injured; responsibility for the attack has been claimed by the regional wing of the Islamic State extremist group.Context: Details are still being collected and assessed, and the Russian government has said the official death toll will likely continue to rise, but it would seem that four gunmen opened-fire with automatic weapons at the Crocus City Hall concert venue on Friday of last week, just as people were arriving and taking their seats for a sold out show; Russian officials say they've caught the four gunmen, alongside seven other individuals who may have been involved, that the gunmen seemed to be trying to escape into Ukraine following the attack, and that they believe Ukraine was somehow involved—a claim that Ukrainian leadership denies; US intelligence sources warned of a potential terrorist attack in Moscow two weeks earlier, telling US citizens in the city to avoid large crowds.—ReutersOne Sentence News is a reader-supported publication.

Both rail crossings were closed earlier this week by the US Customs and Border Protection because of President Biden's disastrous open southern border crisis, which led to tens of thousands of migrants, if not more, using freight trains to traverse Mexico north to the US. "The crossing closures are causing exports to be lost," the coalition said in the letter obtained by Bloomberg. The letter, signed by the National Grain and Feed Association and the National Corn Growers Association, said the $28.5 billion market for US agricultural exports could be severely disrupted if a prolonged shutdown of the border is seen. They said a logjam has formed on rail networks in at least six states due to the border crossing shutdowns. "We have also heard of customers in Mexico telling US suppliers they will begin to look to other countries if the US cannot provide a resilient and reliable supply chain," the letter said. The letter warned: "Each day the crossings are closed we estimate almost 1 million bushels of grain exports are potentially lost along with export potential for many other agricultural products."

Owning a truck or car has become far more expensive than in the past, even as recently as three years ago. In the following graphic, Visual Capitalist's Marcus Lu and Pallavi Rao show, using data from the New York Times, how inflation has impacted various aspects of vehicle ownership, based on the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Used Car Prices Are Still Elevated in 2023 Unsurprisingly, the biggest increases are logged in the price of new and used vehicles, up 22% and 40% respectively. Pandemic supply chain disruptions led to bottlenecks on vehicle deliveries, dramatically pushing up used vehicle prices in turn. However, car ownership costs only continue to increase after the vehicle is acquired. Insurance costs are now nearly 30% higher compared to 2020, along with maintenance and repair. If a part has to be replaced, that's another 20% price increase.

Before we get started today, if you haven't already seen it, check out my interview with Alex Langer of Sierra Madre. There could be quite an opportunity setting up with this silver mining company.And if you haven't read this piece on UK (and US) house prices yet, you might like it - it's proved quite popular. Right. The Eighth Wonder of the World …How can you turn a tiny sum into a large one?Speculate in small caps is one way. The problem is you risk losing your shirt.There is another, safer path. All you need is time - lots of it - and some discipline.You will often hear it said that time in the market is more important than timing the market. There is a lot of wisdom to the adage, though, in defence of timing, get it right and you gain significant advantage. The underlying wisdom of the adage derives from the power of compounding, what Albert Einstein called the eighth wonder of the world. “He who understands it, earns it. He who doesn't, pays it,” he is said to have said. (It is one of those attributed quotes, but it's better coming from Einstein than anyone else, I suppose). If I offered you a million quid upfront, or a magical penny that doubles in value every day for 30 days, would you take the million quid? I imagine you would. You fool! A penny that doubles every day would be worth over five million on day thirty.But here's the thing: it is the effect of compounding in the later stages that is breathtaking. The early stages are muted. Take that magical penny. On day 10, it's only worth a fiver. By day 20 it's north of five grand. But it's in the last three or four days that the vast sums are made. Take a look at this table.Compounding works even for relatively low annual returns. To benefit from it you have to start as early as you possibly can, re-invest everything you make and, ideally, keep adding. But it enables you to turn small sums into large ones. Just ask Warren Buffet. This table shows the effects of compounding at different rates of return, but it assumes you don't add to the initial pot. If you do that, the effects are more dramatic.Tell your kids about compounding, and get them saving and investing. They'll thank you.To really benefit from compounding you also need to keep fees and taxes to a minimum. Thus the maximum gets re-invested. Avoid losses like the plague. Keep adding to the pot, and the compounding works even more in your favour. There is a really cool tool here at Monevator, which allows you to see the effects. An initial deposit of £5,000, with £2,000 added every year and a 7% rate of return becomes half a million in forty years and a million in 50.Invest just £2,150 every year at 7% and in fifty years you will have a million quid. But at the same rate over a fifteen year period to get to a million you would have to invest £33,800 - fifteen times as much.The table below, courtesy of Visual Capitalist, demonstrates the maths.The rule of 72There is also a useful predictive tool which can tell you how long it will take for your money to double, assuming you compound at a certain rate. It's called the rule of 72.Further to some correspondence with reader K the other day, I thought I should tell you about it.Divide 72 by your annual rate of return and that will tell you the number of years it will take your portfolio to double.Put in mathematical terms it looks something like this: 72 ÷ by rate of interest/return = number of years.Let's say you have a 5% annual rate of return. 72 divided by 5 is 14.4, so that's how long it will take for your money to double: 14 years five months, give or take. At 10% you will double your money every seven years. (The rule of 72 does not take inflation into account).At the suppressed interest rates of the 2008 to 2021 period, it's a very different story. Savings left in cash at 0.1% would take 720 years to double.Of course, if you lose money, in a given year, it's a very different story.

Coffee with Samso Episode 184 is with Julian Ford, CEO of Riversgold Limited (ASX: RGL) updating us on Riversgold's exploration activities since the last conversation in March 2023.   Jump straight to the interview In our previous conversation, we discussed Riversgold Limited as a lithium explorer that I found interesting. One of the reasons I liked them is because they were among the few companies actively engaged in genuine mineral exploration for lithium. It's important for people to understand that the recent discoveries in the lithium sector have largely come from reevaluating previous exploration efforts. Companies have revisited their drill cores and discovered that the historical drilling had indeed encountered pegmatites.   Samso is not begruding of the success of these companies, such as the Mount Holland Lithium project, which is now privately owned and operated by Covalent Lithium. Riversgold, on the other hand, continues its exploration activities in search of valuable lithium-bearing pegmatite.   What I find interesting about Riversgold is their Northern Zone project. When I was researching this topic, I initially found their release titled Farm-in to Significant Porphyry Hosted Gold Project a bit confusing because the project had yielded promising results.   The company is proceeding cautiously to ensure the reliability of these results, which I believe demonstrates prudent management. Julian, in particular, discusses the project and takes a measured view of its potential.   What does Porphyry mean?   Here is a description of what a porphyry deposit means from Earth Science Australia:   The major products from porphyry copper deposits are copper and molybdenum or copper and gold. The term porphyry copper now includes engineering as well as geological considerations; It refers to large, relatively low-grade, epigenetic, intrusion-related deposits that can be mined using mass mining techniques.   Geologically, the deposits occur close to or in granitic intrusive rocks that are porphyritic in texture.   There are usually several episodes of intrusive activity, so expect swarms of dykes and intrusive breccias. The country rocks can be any kind of rock, and often there are wide zones of closely fractured and altered rock surrounding the intrusions.   As is described following, this country rock alteration is distinctive and changes as you approach mineralization. Where sulphide mineralization occurs, surface weathering often produces rusty-stained bleached zones from which the metals have been leached; if conditions are right, these may redeposit near the water table to form an enriched zone of secondary mineralization.       Figure 1: A schematic diagram of the basic structure of a porphyritic profile.     What is the significance of a Porphyry deposit?   Based on my experience, it is quite rare to find a fertile porphyry that contains only gold. Most porphyry deposits are typically associated with copper. However, Julian informs us that their system at the Northern Zone is devoid of any other metals and is solely a gold system. When we examine the historical drilling results, we can observe significant depth of mineralization, and the grades fall within the range of atypical mineralised porphyry gold system.   Julian has mentioned that they are currently awaiting the results from their recent drilling program. These results will help confirm the assay content and determine if there is any false enrichment present (see below).   Completion of Diamond Drilling of Northern Zone 26km ESE of Kalgoorlie   It will be fascinating to see the assay numbers and gain a better understanding of the potential of this project. The core samples from the drilling program appear to be in excellent condition, which further adds to the anticipation of the assay results.   Listen to Julian Ford here:     Chapters:   00:00 Start 00:20 Introduction 01:03 Updates from Riversgold 02:57 The Gold Porphyry story 11:22 Metallurgical Cyanide Bottle Roll Test Results 13:37 How did the Northern Zone Project fly under the radar for so long? 19:34 Mt Weld Project 20:54 How should shareholders look at Riversgold? 23:04 Newsflow 23:50 Is the Porphyry story the main focus of Riversgold? 25:26 Why Riversgold? 26:03 Conclusion   Samso's Conclusion   The Riversgold story is an evolving narrative, and I appreciate the adventurous spirit of their projects. Julian impresses me as a composed and strategic individual who possesses a deep understanding of his work. When examining the Northern Zone project, the drilling results are remarkable and align with the expectations for a sizable deposit with low-grade bulk tonnage.   According to the Visual Capitalist, porphyry deposits are very large, polymetallic systems that typically contain copper along with other important metals. Much of today's mineral production depends on porphyries: 60% of copper, 95% of molybdenum, and 20% of gold comes from this deposit type.   The Bingham Canyon Mine, located in Utah and owned by Rio Tinto and in production since 1906, annually produces approximately: 300,000 tons of copper 400,000 oz of gold 4,000,000 oz of silver 30,000,000 lbs of molybdenum The value of the resources extracted to date from the Bingham Canyon Mine is greater than the Comstock Lode, Klondike, and California gold rush mining regions combined.   So as you can see above, the magnitude of finding a deposit of this nature in a Tier-1 jurisdiction like Western Australia is going to make Riversgold appreciate in market capitalisation.

Pagina web Visual Capitalist, un site excelent de analiză statistică și explicare grafică a fenomenelor economice și sociale contemporane, a publicat săptămânile trecute o hartă a salariului minim net în lume. Harta include date despre venitul minim garantat în cele mai multe și relevante țări de pe planetă, iar datele comparative pe care harta le prezintă ne fac să credem că România pare mai degrabă o țară sud-americană și nicidecum o țară europeană. Datele statistice folosite de Visual Captalist sunt întotdeauna serioase și verificate, iar informația despre România este una pe care o știm cu toții: salariul minim net la noi în țară, stabilit prin lege, este azi un pic sub 2000 de lei. Pe harta de care vorbim, toate sumele sunt exprimate în dolari americani, astfel că România apare cu expresiva sumă de 393 de dolari.Am spus că analizând sumele de pe hartă, părem mai degrabă o țară asiatică sau sud-americană, fiindcă sume similare apar în dreptul unor țări precum Guatemala – 383 de dolari, Ecuador – 407, Chile – 396, Uruguay – 424, Paraguay – 323 sau Argentina – 336 de dolari. Dacă ne uităm la țările europene vecine cu noi, suntem aproape egali cu Ungaria - 383, Bosnia – 324 și Serbia – 347 de dolari. Imediat ce ridicăm un pic lupa de pe hartă descoperim că aproape toate celelalte țări membre ale Uniunii Europene din Estul Europei stau mult mai bine: Polonia are 584 de dolari, Estonia are 704, Lituania are 585, Letonia are 646. Dacă privim spre sud, Malta are 788, iar Grecia 626 dolari. Dacă întoarcem privirea spre vest, cifrele urcă spectaculos: Luxemburg are cel mai ridicat salariu minim lunar (2.140 $) și aproape se află Olanda (1.895 $), Irlanda (1.753 $), Marea Britanie (1.705 $) și Germania (1.594 $). Dacă ajungem peste mări și țări civilizate, vedem cifre similare: Australia (2.022 $), Noua Zeelandă (1.866 $), Statele Unite (1.550 $) și Canada (1.545 $).După cum bine știm, costul vieții, cu mici excepții, este cam același în țările Europei de Est și diferă doar în costurile imobiliare în țările cu tradiție democratică din Vestul și Nordul Europei. Mai multe cercetări publicate de instituții respectabile, inclusiv de Uniunea Europeană, au afirmat în repetate rânduri că venitul minimal pentru un trai decent în România ar trebui să depășească 3500 de lei, adică să fie cu minim 70% mai mare decât este în prezent.De cele mai multe ori, politicienii și lideri de business explică public că salariul minim este atât de mic la noi fiindcă munca românilor este neproductivă și neprofitabilă, de parcă vinovați pentru asta ar fi angajații și nu managerii. Adevărul pe care puțini se străduiesc să îl spună este că multe dintre companiile care activează în România fac profituri uriașe folosindu-se tocmai de prețul foarte mic plătit pentru muncă. În același timp, este evident că investitorii străini aduc în general în România activități economice cu valoare adăugată mică, munci simple și rudimentare, repetitive, care presupun efort fizic mare, dar care nu pot fi facturate cu sume mari. Ca să putem crește repede și consistent valoarea salariului minim net din România, este necesar ca muncile prestate de români să aibă un grad mai mare de complexitate și deci o valoare financiară mai mare, dar și ca statul și politicienii să încurajeze acest proces de schimbare, urcând constant și mai rapid valoarea salariului minim net obligatoriu și investind în programe serioase de calificare și recalificare, adică în școlarizare pentru întreaga populație adultă, nu doar pentru elevi și studenți.Privind la actuala cotă a salariului minim net, putem să concluzionăm că mai avem mult până la decență și prosperitate. Ceea ce putem spune sigur este că suntem campioni mondiali la pensii speciale și încă ne batem joc de educația națională, care este singurul motor eficient și durabil al creșterii valorii muncii și salariilor.

At least 3 months of your work on average is to pay taxes, Some companies charge you more to develop systems that generate more revenue for them but make you pay more. Your tax money is used to pay things like people who make sure you pay your taxes.

It's that time of year once again when I get out my crystal ball and tell you exactly what is going to happen in this the Year of our Lord 2023 (here's how I performed last year).   You can normally rely on your intrepid author to have strong, even if wrong opinions on markets, but I must confess to not feeling as strongly about things as I usually do. My biggest concern is how Chat GPT - the new chatbot that can generate intelligent text about, it seems, almost anything - is going to change the world. In fact, my greater concern relates to the extraordinary influence its designers are going to wield on the global narrative.So it is a humble Dominic Frisby you find today, one lacking in clear vision, nervously looking up at the egg that is no doubt going to be on my face in a year's time. Nevertheless here are 14 things I think we will see in the year ahead.* Commodities have a good year. Oil is currently in a downtrend, so it may have a bit more to fall. Metals took their hit in mid-2022 and appear to have made their lows. For the last couple of months, they have been rising, but both fossil fuels and metals have suffered from many years of underinvestment, which has hurt supply. China opening up should see increased demand. I see a good market for metals and energy in the first half of 2023 at least. Possibly the second half as well. Let's set some targets. Brent, currently at $80/barrel, revisits three figures.* And Copper revisits with $4.80/lb.* Yield becomes a thing again. With choppy, uncertain markets, but sticky inflation, investing for yield rather than capital growth becomes a much bigger theme in 2023 than it has been for a decade or more.* This is a classic recessionary bear market. This bear market proves to be more of the recessionary variety, rather than an all-out collapse. It's a tricky, grinding market, but the S&P 500 gets back towards its old highs at 4,800. Briefly.* Emerging Markets outperform. That's something we haven't seen in a while, but their time has come again.* Biotech becomes a thing again too. Remember how back in the day biotech was all the rage? Somehow it was overlooked in the last tech bull market. Not anymore.* European banks have a good time of it too. Thanks to Swen Lorentz for pointing out to me just how uninterested people are in them. Normally a good sign.* Bitcoin also has a good year. It's hard to think of a time when sentiment in bitcoin has been as low as it's been these past few months and yet it's still $17,000. It has a market cap north of $300bn. The mining hashrate hit all-time highs this autumn, meaning the network is more robust than it has ever been. The tech is stronger than ever.Usage is growing in East Asia, Africa, especially in Nigeria, and anywhere there is a currency crisis (which is a lot of places - Turkey, Lebanon, Argentina, and Venezuela). It solves the many issues facing the member nations of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation - China, India, Russia et al - which are desperately seeking a non-dollar alternative money to trade with that doesn't rely on trusted third parties. (I doubt they'll go for bitcoin by the way, even though it does everything they want it to).Bitcoin's Lighting Network solves the problems facing Elon Musk who is looking to incorporate a payments system into Twitter.There are so many reasons to be bullish about bitcoin, yet sentiment could not be worse. It will not always be this way. My prediction for 2023: bitcoin will have a good year.Tell your friends about this amazing article.* Silver fails to deliver yet again. I'm getting so complacent with my predictions about silver that I'm bound to be proved wrong. If you can count on anything in this cruel world, it's that silver will let you down. Silver can't get above $30.* The US dollar - up and down. It's perhaps the world's most important price and it has periods of strength and of weakness, but it ends the year higher than where it started.  As I write, it's at 102.* CBDCs - they're coming. Currently, there are two countries in the world with functioning CBDCs - the Bahamas and Jamaica. Several other Caribbean nations are at the pilot stage, including St Lucia, St Kitts, Dominica and Grenada. As demonstrated by the reaction to Covid-19, risk-averse governments tend not to trail blaze, but to follow the lead of their neighbours. In this regard, it is likely that a couple or more Caribbean nations could have functioning CBDCs before the end of 2023. Such a roll-out is easier in nations with small populations.But my forecast is that in 2023, probably in the latter part of the year, a nation with a population greater than 15 million rolls out its first CBDC, likely one of Canada, China, India, France, Saudi Arabia, Ghana or Nigeria.* Ukraine. I know Dominic Frisby is the first person you turn to when you want insights into the Ukraine conflict, so here they are: The Ukraine War will not end before October. There will not be a nuclear war and Vladimir Putin will still be Russia's president by year's end.* Gold. Everyone always wants to know what I think about gold, however. "Well, this is a bull market, you know!" While it's currently overbought, so don't rule out a pull back, I think it goes up. Miners have a good time of it too. Gold retests its old highs around $2,080. But then it finds a way of being frustrating. It always does. It's gold. * Your Bruce-y Bonus sports prediction. Manchester City wins the League. Southampton, Wolves and Bournemouth go down.So there we are folks. Everything you need to know about 2023 in one handy list.Have a great year folks - and stick to those resolutions. Make your Number One resolution for 2023 to listen to Kisses on a Postcard.Interested in protecting your wealth in these extraordinary times? Then be sure to own some gold bullion.

Today's book explores the 27 most important trends shaping the future of our global economy. This visually striking book draws on the oceans of data we're all surrounded by to extract insights about where we are and where we are headed. It is a must-read for entrepreneurs, executives, policymakers, and regulators And anyone seeking to navigate a complex world. The futurist and author ALVIN TOFFLER once wrote “Information overload occurs when the amount of input to a system exceeds its processing capacity. Decision-makers have fairly limited cognitive processing capacity. Consequently, when information overload occurs, it is likely that a reduction in decision quality will occur.” Today's guest eases information overloaded, makes signal from the noise and helps us make better decisions. We welcome sensemaker, founder and editor-in-chief of Visual Capitalist and author of “Signals: The 27 Trends Defining the Future of the Global Economy” Jeff Desjardins

He described the reasons for this and why China is the largest exporter in the world, while the U.S is the largest importer. Which means China tends to produce a majority of their products and outsource them to other countries. Where the U.S relies on the production from other countries. Lastly, Kevin express his take on the current macro environment and how China can potentially be the next powerhouse economically if things continue the way they are now.

Welcome back to the Hunger Hunt Feast Podcast! In today's episode, Zane talks with electrical engineer and author Tristan Scott!  Tristan is an electrical engineer whose passion for health developed from his struggle to recover from Post Concussive Syndrome and he found that an animal-based diet helped him reduce inflammation, but Tristan has taken his expertise even further. Listen in as Tristan talks about his book "Bitcoin and Beef" which he wrote to address the current problems with the increasing wealth gap and decreasing health stemming from an over-centralized system. In his book, he addresses the fallacies about a negative environmental impact of both the raising of beef and bitcoin mining.

In a possibly unintended side effect to his monumental purchase of Twitter, Elon Musk saw shares in Tesla take a $125 billion nosedive yesterday as investors worried he might sell off Tesla shares to finance his Twitter buy. APD and the justice system are all over the news today: Travis County Judge Julie Kocurek has recused herself from four cases involving Austin police officers in use of force complaints related to the George Floyd protests, citing irregularities in the indictment process on the part of Travis County D.A. Jose Garza's office. Meanwhile, jury selection has begun in the first trial under Garza's administration involving an Austin police officer: former APD officer Nathaniel Stallings is accused of violating department use-of-force policies during the arrest of a woman four years ago. Also in local law enforcement justice, the girlfriend of Mike Ramos, whose police-involved 2020 killing served as a local flashpoint during the George Floyd period, has filed a $1 million lawsuit against the City of Austin. 89-year-old Willie Nelson is not slowing down in the studio department - he's set to release a yet another new album this week in "A Beautiful Time", and a listening party will be held on Friday afternoon at Waterloo Records, hosted by Texas Monthly writer and podcaster John Spong. Michael Buble has announced a return to Austin, after cancelling his last scheduled show here over COVID-19 policy conflicts with the University of Texas - he'll play the new Moody Center on September 14, tickets go on sale May 6. Austin ISD's Liberal Arts and Sciences Academy (or LASA) moves up significantly in this year's ranking of the best public schools in the country from U.S. News and World Report, rising from #41 to #34 overall and #4 in the state. Visual Capitalist.com has identified Texas as far and away the national leader in wind energy production, over doubling #2 Iowa - further, they find that Texas generates and also consumes more electricity than any other U.S. state. Eater.com has identified and mapped what it considers to be the 17 most iconic burgers in Austin, their homes range from Top Notch up north to Leroy and Lewis down south. Recent rains have brought some relief to one of the worst allergy seasons in memory, as warmer spring weather returns with a high of 80 today, and mid to upper 80's Thursday through the weekend - we also have a 25-35% chance of seeing more rain during that time period.

In tegenstelling tot tientallen andere sectoren over de hele wereld, kende de cannabisgroei een aanzienlijke groei als rechtstreeks gevolg van de Covid-19 pandemie. Dankzij de speculanten van WallStreetBets is de sector in de eerste weken van 2021 opnieuw volop in de kijker komen te staan. De aandelen uit de sector gedroegen zich erg volatiel, met forse koersbewegingen in beide richtingen. Maar hoe zien de vooruitzichten op langere termijn eruit? Katie Jones van Visual Capitalist merkte in een rapport over de sector op dat 2020 werd gekenmerkt door een stijgende consumptie van zowel medische als recreatieve producten. Het werd uiteindelijk een recordjaar voor de cannabisindustrie, met de hoop dat ook de komende jaren meer van hetzelfde zullen brengen. Na jaren van onzekerheid bij beleggers voorspellen analisten een aanhoudende bullmarkt voor de cannabisaandelen in 2021, met verschillende nieuwe en opwindende ontwikkelingen aan de horizon. Kortom, de toekomst voor de ‘wiet' aandelen ziet er veelbelovend uit en daar kan jij als belegger van profiteren. Op een aantal bedrijven gaan we even wat dieper in omdat deze kunnen profiteren van de onstuitbare opmars van de cannabisindustrie. http://www.beleggen.com/training Succesvol beleggen in nog geen 10 minuten per week Meld je aan voor de gratis LIVE online training

Warren Buffett, the famous stock market investor and billionaire, developed a stock market indicator that came to be known as the “Buffett Indicator.”From Carmen Ang a writer at the website Visual Capitalist said, “This ratio, now commonly known as the Buffett Indicator, compares the size of the stock market to that of the economy. A high ratio indicates an overvalued market—and as of February 11, 2021, the ratio has reached all-time highs, indicating that the U.S. stock market is currently strongly overvalued.” How this ratio is calculated is by dividing the value of the stock market by gross domestic product (GDP). The article states that the ratio is sitting at 228% which is 88% higher than historical averages. The article went on to state that the low interest environment is one culprit of the ratio being so high.

A quarentena forçada pela pandemia do coronavírus prendeu todo o mundo em casa. Mas será que isso quer dizer que elas vão consumir mais conteúdo das empresas. A quarentena forçada pela pandemia do coronavírus fez aumentar o consumo de mídia em todas as faixas etárias. É o que mostra um estudo feito pelo site Visual Capitalist, que entrevistou 4 mil. O aumento de consumo foi de 68%.Se você cavar mais fundo, vai ver que tem uma variação enorme para cada mídia, para cada faixa etária. Por exemplo, jovens de 16 a 23 anos (geração Z), aumentaram em mais ou menos 50% consumo de vídeo online. Já os adultos de 24 a 37 anos (Millenials) aumentaram em 35% músicas online como Spotify e a geração X, em 45% a televisão. Quanto às atividades na internet, as sete preferidas sãoOuvir música, assistir a música ou shows, assistir a vídeos engraçado, jogar jogos mobile, ver memes, jogar jogos no computador ou laptop e buscar receita para cozinhar. Só na 8ª posição vai aparecer alguma coisa que pode ser aproveitada por empresas (27%). Outras atividades que elas fazem durante a quarentena são:Ler artigos sobre alimentação saudável, ouvir podcasts, assistir a vídeos fitness: 18%, ler blogs, assistir a lives e a vídeos de esportes, procurar opções de férias, assistir a webinars: 12%. Como takeaway, então, eu diria que as pessoas querem, sim, se divertir quando não estão trabalhando. Não tenha dúvida. Mas elas consomem mais mídia e, sim, elas continuam consumindo conteúdo útil. E aí pode entrar aquele que é feito pela sua empresa.Por exemplo, este podcast que você está ouvindo exatamente agora. E que é feito por uma empresa, certo?Só um detalhe para fechar o podcast: a pesquisa foi feita nos Estados Unidos e Inglaterra, mas quando você vê dados do Kantar Ibope Mídia e da Exame, e observa que cresceu o consumo de mídia e de internet no Brasil durante a quarentena, é mais fácil acreditar que a realidade no Brasil seja a mesma desses países.Aliás, eu arrisco dizer que essa seja a realidade de qualquer país ocidental neste mundo globalizado e superconectado.
