Starting this week, we moved this segment to a livestream, so you'll be able to tune in live every Monday morning.

This week, we look ahead to the FOMC and BoE rates decisions expected this week, we touch on the Chinese government meeting and the all important US election that is overshadowing all other market events. We also reflect on the latest jobs numbers out of the US.

Deep Dive
We dive into the US electoral system and how it all works. We dig deep and try to understand the pros and cons of the system compared to the other voting systems that exist around the world. We also explore various permutations of outcomes to the election.

Investor Insights
We gain some insights on the changes made to the Maintenance Act in South Africa and how these changes could potentially impact your credit profile as an individual. And, of course, we update our wall of preferred picks.
