On the Ground at Resources Rising Stars — Gold, Lithium and Why We're "Not Even at Boom Yet"

Live from Resources Rising Stars on the Gold Coast, James runs through a huge list of company conversations from the floor — gold plays including Saturn Metals, Great Boulder, Great Southern and Gateway Mining, lithium exposure via PMET's James Bay project in Quebec, high-purity alumina producer Advanced Engineered Materials, and tin-tungsten-silver story Sky Metals. Plus takeaways from keynote speaker Charlie Aitken on how small the resources sector still is as a share of global indices, and a cycle-clock check-in with Line Selection Group's Hedley Widdup. Heath Moss joins from Adelaide for the market wrap — US equities sitting on prior highs with September seasonality weighing, yields pushing toward 2025 highs ahead of a critical CPI print, copper at fresh records near $6.90/lb, gold holding above $4,400/oz, and why Heath's steering clients toward globally-exposed Australian names over banks and discretionary retail. Plus AFL and NRL finals tips to close it out. General advice only, if at all. Please seek your own advice or drop us a line for more information.

Does Beat-and-Raise Even Matter Anymore? Nvidia, Gold and This Week's Small Caps

Collect CPD Here https://quiz.ensombl.com/VOLA-26083101-56510001 Nvidia posted a $96.2 billion quarter — up 106% year-on-year, data centre revenue up 117% — and beat the Street on every line, yet the stock still wobbled in after-hours trade before rallying into the close. James and Heath ask whether beat-and-raise even moves the needle anymore for the world's biggest stock, and dig into the RAM purchasing commitments that could be the real story buried in the report. Plus: Scott Bessent's Treasury flags using the TGA to fund bond buybacks, yields ease, the US dollar weakens and gold rips to nearly $4,700 an ounce on central bank buying — with silver looking primed to follow. A look at this week's small caps worth watching (Rapid Critical Metals, Barton Gold, Redstone Resources and more), a Sydney stockbroker raided by the AFP, and the AFL finals kick off with Bulldogs–Collingwood and Melbourne–Carlton.

Bond Vigilantes, GPU-Backed Bonds & the Swans Implosion

Wall Street wobbles as 30-year Treasury yields punch above 5.3%, and hyperscalers flood the bond market with nearly $200bn of debt this year alone. James and Heath break down why the long end of the curve is starting to look shaky, what Scott Bessent's buyback plan actually does, and why Nvidia's $500bn GPU-backed lending scheme has more than a whiff of 2008 about it. Wealth advisor Murdoch Gatti (The Rate of Change) joins to talk fund manager sentiment on energy security, behind-the-meter gas powering data centres, and why South America — not Australia — is set to be the next copper growth engine. Plus: small caps flying under the radar this week (Titan Minerals, EV Resources, Barton Gold, Greenvale Energy and more), oil creeping back toward $88 on Iran tensions, and the boys unpack the Sydney Swans' five-player suspension ahead of finals.

ASX Small Caps: Gold, Resources and the Macro Shift Investors Should Watch

In this episode of the Theory of Thing investment podcast, James Whelan and Heath Moss talk through the latest macro moves and what they could mean for ASX small caps. The chat starts with the big headline noise, then gets into the stuff that matters for investors. That includes the Fed’s hawkish tone, what it could mean for yields, the US dollar and inflation expectations, and why those factors matter for markets over the next few months. They also take a look at the bigger structural case for resources. Copper, lithium, aluminium, tin and rare earths all get a mention, along with the ongoing supply shortages and why that theme still looks strong. Gold is another major focus, with discussion around central bank buying, inflation expectations easing, and why the second half of the year could be a better stretch for the metal. The episode also touches on a few small-cap names and updates, including Barton Gold and other trading and corporate activity across the sector. If you are watching for ideas in ASX resources and gold, this one is worth a look.
