Yeah,
2:14
she is.
2:14
And she… has really interesting points.
2:18
She thinks stocks are going to do well.
2:20
A lot of it's powered by the innovations in America.
2:25

the US is sort of going through it now, but what about us here?
81:55
Yeah.
81:56
Now, some of it is, you know, according to the AFR story, uh, linked to, um, Chinese people trying to get around the, the capital restrictions that Beijing has on some of their more wealthy, um, um, population who want to, uh, ultimately have a property here in Australia.
82:16
But I think there's also a lot of small business people as well who find it a lot harder to get a loan than, say, a public servant or someone who's got a, a steady job with a well-known business.
82:29
You know, it's, it's much easier to produce payslips that are instantly, um, seen as being ridgy-didge.
82:39
But if you're a, a small business owner, they've always found it a little bit harder to get a loan.
82:45
And I think there have been probably some people out there who've, in the age of AI...
82:50
Uh, I, I don't know, Jamie, if you've, uh, succumbed to the world of AI.
85:24
Uh, I suppose on the other side, it's, uh, you shake your head a little bit and you think, are banks still relying on, you know, on payslips that we're sending them, you know, or, or sheets of paper in, in a, in a world like this?
95:26
Isn't it a bit too late to worry about gold? Do you see any more gain in it?
95:32
Yeah, look, that's the problem I have.
95:35
You know, gold has done fantastically well.
95:39
And I am expecting it will keep on rising, but not at the rate we've seen.
95:44
So, like, for example, up 44% in a year, that's a really big gain.
95:51
And so there are – the factors they explain at Jeremy, I think, are still around.
95:58
In my story today on Switzer Daily, I know there's some great fans of Donald Trump, and I think he's getting a lot of things right, but he's still – has spooked the market with tariffs and I think the market's getting used to it but when the tariffs came and when you start spooking financial markets what they do is they look for safe havens and that's what gold's always been so So the arrival of an unusual US president has helped gold.
