  • Facts? Not so sure

    Alec is prone to repeating Trump “alternative facts”, most recently that China has no wind power when they actually have over 600 GW! What kind of financial journalist doesn’t read the Economist - “The idea that China abjures wind power at home is just nonsense—it leads the world in wind capacity. That it sells a lot of turbines elsewhere is good business.” Nov 3, 2025

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mark Burke breaks his silence on the Kastelo storm: “The ANC will not succeed”
Q: Did this all come out of the blue?
Burke acknowledges a buildup of regulatory scrutiny and a media storm around the 4 billion rand figure, framing it as a regulatory dispute more than a straightforward scandal, with ongoing investigations and licensing questions.
Solly Moeng: Mthethwa suicide mystery, McKenzie’s “nepotism”, Matlala-Maumela link - and R167m bust
Q: Let's go internationally first with the deepening mystery surrounding the apparent suicide of former police minister and ambassador Nathi Mthethwa.
Solly argues that while the French report suggests suicide, South Africa should demand full disclosure and participation in the investigations to dispel speculation.
BNC#9 | The case for gold: Meryl Pick on what comes next for the world you built wealth in
Q: What comes next for the monetary system and gold's role?
Gold is likely to remain a functional part of the monetary system, with central banks expanding holdings and new structural arrangements possibly emerging that keep gold relevant as a stabilizing asset.
BNC#9 | The case for gold: Meryl Pick on what comes next for the world you built wealth in
Q: Is it too late to get in?
Focus shifts from timing to ensuring you have enough protection for tomorrow's uncertainty, with a rebalance recommended if you already own gold but not overreaching if you've missed the rally.
BNC#9 | The case for gold: Meryl Pick on what comes next for the world you built wealth in
Q: After the run that gold has had, should I sell?
Meryl suggests not chasing short-term moves but repositioning toward a larger strategic gold allocation to protect against a wider distribution of future monetary outcomes.
