On Stockhead today, Peter’s still away.
He was in Tokyo. Now he’s… elsewhere:
We’re okay, though. I guess.
A little short… But hey! There’s an ETF for that now too:
Nadine’s got Australia’s top performing ETFs from last year as… the ones which shorted US stocks! And most particularly tech. Makes sense, I suppose. But who thinks of these?
A joyously bumptious new year James Whelan says you’ll want cash right now for what’s coming. Literally, he says that.
We’ve got a shirtload of dry cleaning all about M&A. It’s clean, it smells great and it’s cash only. So you and your buddy Goldman Sachs go get your $66mn and we can talk.
Also Chinese tech has been green lit by a shady inner circle bureaucrat … actually he’s also the central bank governer these days so… anyway, his green light has in turn been greenlit by UBS and others. So we’re good for Chinese tech again. Sorry Jack.
And now, the day ahead…

Cyprium Metals (ASX:CYM) jumped 22% on solid volume, after recently announcing an offtake agreement for 100% (~140,000 tonnes) of the Copper Cathode produced during Phase 1 of its Nifty Copper Project restart, alongside a US$35M Secured Offtake Prepayment Facility through Transamine SA.
Copper Mountain Mining (ASX:C6C) is up about 15% now production has resumed at its 75% owned Copper Mountain Mine located in southern British Columbia near the town of Princeton, following a ransomware attack that brought production to a halt in the final days of 2022.
Turaco Gold (ASX:TCG) went off like a rocket following a chunky gold hit, the highlight being a 26m @ 4.82g/t gold from 35m at the Satama discovery in Côte d’Ivoire.
TCG says the zone of high-grade mineralisation remains open in all directions.
As Gregor noted yesterday: By the end of the day, TCG had added an entire $0.01c to its trading price – which is actually pretty epic, because that’s a better-than-17% rise.
