In this week’s show

0:44 – Q1: I have always wondered how many stock markets are there in the us? Is the NASDAC different from the S&P 500 in different stock markets or are they just indicies which measure different parts of the one US stock exchange?
1:50 – Q2: Could you please give your thoughts on Allkem (AKE)? They’ve received a merger offer from Livent (a US company). Hold with the possiblity of a higher offer or sell on the market and take a profit?
5:48 – Q3: Could you please advise whether the Retail Entitlement Offer by NextDC (NXT) should be taken up? It allow shareholders one for 8 ratio and offer to be taken up by 31 May 2023.
8:56 – Q4: What are your thoughts on Firefinch (FFX) and Leo Lithium (LLL)?
12:39 – Q5: I remember a company called Ariadne from the good old days when Bond Corporation and Qintex were all the rage but Ariadne managed to survive and now has investments in five separate business’s. What do you think is the value of the shares now looking at their assets?
14:43 – Q6: Can you give us an update on the latest happenings for BTH, including non-binding takeover approaches? Am I wrong in presuming that it seems the board is not overly interested or responsive to thee approaches? I have a small stake in the company and wonder what you think the chances of a takeover actually occurring in the next 12 months is?
18:04 – Q7: Do you think that a central based digital currency will come in. And if so what are the pros and cons for the stock market?
