You can take a long position and profit when an asset’s price rises, in the same way you can take a short bet and profit when an asset’s price falls.
In this episode, I explain how shorting works, the difference between traditional short selling and trading instruments such as CFDs and futures, and why shorting is often much simpler than many people think. We also explore the risks and rewards of taking long and short positions, how leverage affects exposure, and why risk management remains essential regardless of market direction.
I also discuss inverse ETFs, the role of short positions...

Corporate bonds sit in the market’s “middle ground”—not as exciting as stocks, not as safe as government debt… but often the most interesting when conditions shift.
In this video, we break down what corporate bonds really are, how they differ from sovereign bonds, and why they can offer a compelling balance between income and risk. From credit spreads to market sentiment, from yield opportunities to recession dynamics—this is your guide to understanding where corporate bonds fit in a portfolio.
We also cover how they compare to stocks, how they behave across market cycles, and the practical ways to invest—whether through...

Big Tech earnings are here—but investors may be looking at AI spending very differently this time. After a brief pause in Middle East tensions, oil prices are rising again, inflation fears are back, and markets are rotating away from the biggest AI winners. SK Hynix delivered record revenue and operating profit, yet its shares plunged after missing lofty expectations and reaffirming aggressive investment plans. The selloff spilled over to Samsung and the broader semiconductor sector, raising fresh questions about whether investors are still willing to finance the AI spending boom. With Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and Apple all reporting in the...

Oil prices plunged after Donald Trump hinted at a possible deal with Iran, dragging bond yields lower just as the Federal Reserve begins its latest policy meeting. But while falling oil prices offered temporary relief to broader markets, technology investors faced a fresh wave of bad news. China's memory chip giant CXMT made a blockbuster stock market debut, raising fears of lower memory chip prices and intensifying competition across the semiconductor industry. ASML came under pressure after reports that a Chinese rival has started producing advanced lithography tools, while renewed concerns over circular AI financing weighed heavily on Nvidia and...

Oil prices have pulled back after an unexpectedly calm weekend in the Middle East, giving global markets a breather. But is the relief temporary? This week, investors face a packed calendar with Federal Reserve, Bank of England and Bank of Japan policy decisions, while four of the world's biggest technology companies—Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and Apple—report earnings.
Meanwhile, a blockbuster IPO in Shanghai has put China's memory-chip champion CXMT firmly on investors' radar. The company has quietly become the world's fourth-largest DRAM maker, underscoring China's rapidly expanding AI ecosystem and raising questions about future competition for Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron....

Big Tech's AI spending spree is facing its biggest market test yet. Alphabet's earnings showed that the real issue is no longer revenue growth—it's how much cash companies are burning to stay competitive in the AI race. With free cash flow under pressure and borrowing costs climbing, investors are starting to question whether even the world's largest technology companies can keep financing ever-bigger AI investments without weighing on valuations at a time interest rate expectations, rising government and AI dent lift long term borrowing costs.
Next week, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and Apple report earnings, but the real focus won't be...

Reaction to Alphabet’s earnings is delivering an important message from investors: strong revenue growth is no longer enough if it comes with an even bigger AI bill. Tesla and Alphabet both posted impressive results, but their shares fell as investors focused on soaring AI spending, negative free cash flow at Alphabet and the prospect of funding future investments through debt and equity issuance. With oil prices climbing and bond yields rising, financing the AI race is becoming increasingly expensive.

Chip stocks bounced back as investors returned to the AI trade, but the real challenge is only just beginning. With Alphabet and Tesla kicking off Big Tech earnings season, markets are shifting their focus from AI promises to AI profits. After committing hundreds of billions of dollars to data centres, chips and AI infrastructure, investors now want evidence that these massive investments are generating returns. At the same time, rising oil prices, higher inflation expectations and climbing bond yields are increasing borrowing costs, making the AI spending boom harder to sustain. Will Big Tech reaffirm its ambitious capital expenditure plans,...
