The Reverse Centaur

The big AI labs have moved the race from chatbots to personal AI agents. But as tech critics warn, the same technology can make each of us the legs for a different kind of beast.

Commodities

The Real AI Threat: China

It’s past time to look beyond the AI hype. The stock valuations of the leading hyperscalers and frontier AI modeling companies are almost certainly in bubble territory. But the market will sort that out in time.

The Reverse Centaur

The big AI labs have moved the race from chatbots to personal AI agents. But as tech critics warn, the same technology can make each of us the legs for a different kind of beast.

Mind the Gap — Part 2.

Part 2 of Charlie’s look at AI and work. Electricity’s biggest gains came when factories changed around it. AI presents a similar challenge today. And an opportunity for investors.

Mind the Gap — Part 1.

Orwell worried about what machines would take from us. Investors are betting on what they will deliver. Between those two questions sits a gap that prior tech revolutions struggled to cross.

Maybe Apple is Right

AI is becoming more capable. But that doesn’t guarantee returns for those building ever-taller towers. New research points to a future where intelligence runs locally — and Apple could be well placed.

The Black Box Problem

The AI labs have asked to be slowed down. Critics call it regulatory capture. The truth is somewhere in between. A black box forming inside the newest models is why this matters now.

Small Caps

Magnets on the Menu

Elon Musk dines with Xi this week, and a Chinese firm reportedly makes all his robots’ muscles. I think the biggest winners from this boom missed the guest list.

Always have an army

I’d prefer we live in a utopia that doesn’t need 10 million Optimus robots a year to ensure my physical safety and wellbeing. Well, at least there’s still a small window to invest.

Market Analysis

Global Bond Rout Puts the ASX on the Edge

Charlie and Murray examine the synchronised rise in global yields, the growing competition for capital between governments and the AI investment boom, and the key levels that could determine whether the ASX stabilises or suffers another sharp leg lower.

Is It Time to Go Fishing?

With US bond yields rising and the 10-year yield reaching a level last seen in 2007, Charlie and I step back to examine the 40-year cycle in interest rates and what bear flattening of the yield curve has meant for stocks.

Macro

Let Her Rip

Two years ago, Trump’s economic whisperer co-wrote a paper accusing party politics of running stimulus into an election. This week, Treasury reached for the exact tool he described. The same paper warns what’s next.

Worst. Budget. Ever

Worst. Budget. Ever. I really don’t know where to start with this one. It is so bad for this country that it’s hard to fathom. So let me start with the positives…

What people are saying about Fat Tail Daily

I enjoy reading articles from all editors. The way the guys present issues creates interest where there may not have been interest before . That is a huge accolade coming from someone like me. I genuinely appreciate the effort you all put in, and I have learnt a lot of valuable general knowledge as well also.

— K.M, QLD

I enjoy the researched, informative, and sometimes thought provoking articles from the editors. I’ve learnt how the world works with Jim, long term value investing with Greg, navigating volatile gold stocks with Brian, and technical analysis with Murray. I even hold some crypto Ryan. I am almost 60 and you can teach an old dog new tricks. Many thanks for all your efforts, all of the editors

— Joe S, Wollongong

I am delighted with Fat Tail Daily. You are the only publication I trust. I look forward to your emails. I have made wonderful investments following your advice, thank you.

— Janet Roach, VIC

I find the information very informative. It’s refreshing to me as you guys do not follow the trends. Each trader has a different view of the world and their particular areas of expertise. I like that you talk about bitcoin & Gold, where most other financial advisers won’t.

— R.K. NSW

I look forward to Fat Tail Daily hitting my inbox. My favourite contributors are Greg Canavan, Callum Newman, James Cooper and Murray Dawes. I enjoy the blend of company, sector, whole market and technical analysis that in combination they provide. Fat Tail Daily provides a refreshing alternative to the usual mainstream financial media and also serves as a good backdrop to the individual services that Fat Tail provides.

— George S, UK

I value the research, advice and the analysis by the respective authors. You don’t have to agree but I also like the balance of being able to read differing points of view not just on a particular investment topic but also life and values.

— Alexander, WA

Quality writers and research – clear, concise recommendations.

— DJ Whiting, WA

Very well informed and current. Many of the ideas are thought provoking. What I also like is the diverse range of opinions and independent thinking.

— Brian, NSW
