Donald J. Trump has learned, and we will get wealthier as a result

4 days ago | switzer.com.au | Peter Switzer

Today investors will get wealthier, and you can thank Donald Trump. Trump, plus the hardball players in Beijing; the uncompromising work of the bond market; a crashing stock market, and those who wanted to give good sense a chance. The US President was taught an expensive lesson on April 2. What he called Liberation Day might be remembered as a School Day for the former Apprentice host.

As an investor myself, I have a vested interest in watching what’s about to happen politically, economically and socially so I can see if other investors need to be prepared for any pending negative or positive event, and whether certain actions make sense.

Will Labor's emphatic victory sow a super seed that could damage it forever? Following the recent federal election, a subscriber to The Switzer Report asked if the proposed super tax was a “done deal”? Who knows? However, if one aspect of this tax becomes a reality, it will not only damage the nest eggs of 80,000 super trustees, but it will also damage the trust voters have in a Labor government.
Will AI & the employer unfriendly Albanese government kill jobs?

The great challenge for the new Albanese Government is to make sure that its policies become more pro-business. Without said policies, we’ll be saddled with two big problems. First, productivity. Treasurer Jim Chalmers has told us productivity must increase to ensure inflation doesn’t get to worrying levels. We know how that looks!Higher productivity is also needed to ensure we see higher levels of real income. That is, Australians will see their income have greater purchasing power.

Since April 2’s “Liberation Day” tariff announcements from US President Donald Trump, the stock market (and your super) have probably taken a hit in the wrong direction. The ensuing uncertainty driven by geopolitical volatility now faces its ultimate test with news that a US-China trade deal might actually be closer than we thought.
What the world’s greatest investor Warren Buffett taught me

1 week ago | switzer.com.au | Peter Switzer

In the old days, many would say that ‘behind every successful man is a supportive woman’. Thankfully, times have changed but there’s a kernel of wisdom in that antiquated phrase which still holds firm: success often comes down to who you surround yourself with. And it’s often the quieter ones we don’t hear about that can drive enormous value. In the case of tech business, Atlassian, we all know of Mike Cannon-Brookes, but he is only half of a team that includes the lesser-known Scott Farquhar.
Election proves this is no country for old Liberals

1 week ago | switzer.com.au | Peter Switzer

With the Coalition’s election night landslide loss and overall campaign being described as a “shit show” by cheesed off LNP MPs, the result has led to the usual finger-pointing insults from those who had no say over the policies promised and who are now jockeying for a prominent position in a shrunken Opposition team. There is one standout issue conservatives have to understand.

Why do I say something so uneconomic as this? Experience!Want proof? This week the AFR gave us some clarification linked to a headline that read: Albanese’s budget deficit ‘lie’ challenged.
Billion dollar bonanza for Aussie wine makers, thanks to China

2 weeks ago | switzer.com.au | Peter Switzer

As we now know, Trump and tariffs are important to what happens to our stock market. Good news on a potential trade deal to be announced soon, has taken share prices up on Wall Street, so it’s more than likely that we’ll all get wealthier today via our super funds, as our market here rises. But don’t forget this: like it or not, China is our main economic game. And this $1 billion worth of wine sales to our biggest export customer underlines my point.
