Starlink is incredible.
I got to call my brother and wish him Happy birthday 🎈 from this Emirates flight.
His five year old answered the call, “hi Aunty Jess. Dads on the toilet”
I said “tell him I am calling from the aeroplane to say happy birthday”
Life is good ♥️⭐️
My rent jumped $100 to $800 a week after Anthony Albanese’s CGT changes.
Here’s what $800 a week gets you for a one bedroom apartment in Manly.
I’ve since moved out.
I miss being directly opposite the beach. But I definitely don’t miss the mould.
I told the Real Estate Agent and they just said that I need to be vigilant, get a dehumidifier and a fan. So I did. They said this is an issue with the northern beaches. But the more people I speak to, I realise this could be a Sydney issue?
Nothing is forever
My school friend died at the age of 40
My Family Friend died at the age of 45
A former house mate died at the age of 35
And my stepmom died at 49
Focus on today.
And now ♥️
What if you didn’t trust all of your thoughts? And slowed down. And reflected.
I can guarantee that if you did this with:
Your investments.
Your opinions of others.
Your most important relationships.
Life would be easier. And you would be a lot richer in every sense.
Lucky Country? My rent went up $100 a week, more than Albanese said. My power bill tripled.

The Productivity Commission: “Australia’s living standards have gone backwards & the trend will continue unless we lift productivity, encourage investment.”
Why this new war could really be over Iran’s oil…🇮🇷🛢️
This is a photo of my dad in Tehran, 1950. He was born into freedom—a democracy—at a time when Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi was the King. Iran was a Western-aligned, socially open, and fashion-forward country. My grandma described Tehran as the “Paris of the Middle East,” filled with music and joy.
So what went wrong?
By the time my dad was three, in 1953, a coup overthrew Iran's democracy. Orchestrated by Western intelligence (CIA and MI6) to secure oil, it led to 50% of Iran’s oil being signed over to a Western Consortium—the giants we know today as BP, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, and TotalEnergies.
In 1958, when my dad was eight, there was already a heavy presence of US military “advisers” in Iran. Many Iranians were deeply disappointed that their leader was forced to “sell out” national assets to the West.
This resentment and anger over lost sovereignty was the birth of the 1979 Revolution. The IRGC took over, seizing that same infrastructure and making those oil deals null and void. They replaced freedom with a dictatorship that has oppressed its people for decades.
Fast forward to 2026.
In the Iranian community at large, there is hope that the IRGC leadership will be brought to its knees. Following the strike that killed the IRGC leader yesterday, President Trump has stated that Iranians can now “seize control” of their destiny and “take back” their country.
But there are hard days ahead. The IRGC blocks the Strait of Hormuz today. How long will this go on for? Another question is: will the US, the UK, the French, and the Dutch look to gain Iranian oil assets again, just like they did in 1953?
Above all, I am praying for the people of my father's homeland. I hope peace and democracy can return. Let's hope for no more bloodshed. Anywhere.
Long live Iran. 🕊️

I’ve now ridden in more ambulances over the last five months than Ubers.
I still prefer Uber Electric.
But I rate NSW Ambulance paramedics five stars. Especially the free ECG.
Seriously though. Don’t be like me. Look after your health. Before it’s too late
This year it is Australian mining stocks sweeping investors off their feet, as they become shy over big US technology bets. Resources may get another jolt this week with BHP, Rio Tinto and Newmont among those reporting results: https://t.co/xOYtCtGale

Aussie banks trade like AI stocks, pushing them to record highs. Are they tradable? Yes. But how high will they go before the next pullback?
The big four banks make up 25% of the ASX 200. That’s why they recover after pull backs (crashes) even when analysts rate them a sell
Serious illness simplifies everything.
How you live. Think.
Markets. Investing. Trading.
Who you surround yourself with.
Who you give your time to.
Don’t waste energy on meaningless crap.
Focus on what matters.Your health. Your people.
And the money you need to live life
Lucky country? Rising interest rates and rising unemployment.
33% of our population's jobs will be replaced by AI.
I think I need to retrain as an electrician. ⚡️
The US will start purchases of critical minerals over the next few quarters. With deliveries expected mid-to-late 2026 once contracts are locked in.
Australia is a key beneficiary
Minerals to watch and origin;
Lithium – Australia, Chile
Nickel – Australia, Canada
Rare earths – Australia, US
Copper – Australia, Chile
Eeeek. Aussie interest rates to rise more than expected, with inflation rising more than expected. Swaps are pricing in RBA rate hikes:
February (68% chance)
May (72% chance)
August (88% chance)
December (140% chance)
Rates at year-end? Near 4.385%, vs 3.6% today.
Power bills in Australia are up almost 40% YoY. And will probably keep rising this year.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump is telling AI, US tech and car makers not to pass higher energy costs on to consumers - and to invest in energy instead.
So what will Australian leaders do?
