    The GNU dawn is all the rage in South Africa, but what does this mean for portfolio strategies?

    Magic Markets #181: The Real-World DD: EVs, Sephora, Topgolf and more

    Magic Markets #181: The Real-World DD: EVs, Sephora, Topgolf and more

    With The Finance Ghost having just returned from a trip to the UK, France and Dubai, the opportunity was clear to talk through some of the brands and business models that have been researched in Magic Markets Premium. It's one thing doing desktop research. It's another thing walking through a Sephora store or swinging a club at Topgolf. Mohammed Nalla lives in Canada so he's already had this experience for some time now, leading to an insightful discussion.
    And let's not forget EVs, which are always a bone of contention on Magic Markets. Having seen the level of adoption in Europe first-hand and experienced such cars, have the in-house views on EVs changed?

    Magic Markets #180: Home Country Bias

    Magic Markets #180: Home Country Bias

    Home country bias is a real danger for investors. We tend to buy the brands we know, rather than taking an objective view on a global opportunity set. Global context is beyond important, particularly when you've had the benefit of engaging with investors and professionals in deep pools of capital like Europe and North America.
    In this episode, Mohammed Nalla and The Finance Ghost take advantage of recent travels to discuss how the South African market differs from global markets like the UK and America. For any investor serious about global wealth creation, this is a valuable discussion.
