I present to you a classic ‘widow-maker trade’ — trades that are infamous for causing so many losses — in a new light. I’m talking about shorting the Aussie banks. They used to do nothing but go up, and even though banks have struggled for the past decade, the S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index [ASX:XFJ] is still close to its all-time high. But the current technical set-up is telling me something a little different. Watch the Closing Bell video to learn more…

In today’s Money Weekend, it’s the first ‘Closing Bell’ video of 2023. When a market treads water for a long time — as was the case last year — it can be explosive once the range breaks. I outline what I need to see to become 100% bullish on Aussie stocks and I also show you how the long-term picture in gold is getting stronger by the day.

In today’s Money Weekend, central bankers around the world are letting investors know in no uncertain terms that they aren’t done raising rates. There are now plenty of dominoes lined up beneath the market that could ignite a wave of selling to the downside. I give you a detailed analysis of the situation in the S&P 500 and ASX 200 in the ‘Closing Bell’ video because forewarned is forearmed.
