Get all the good stuff in Ghost Bites this morning>>> Accenture , Ferrari and SyscoGarth Mackenzie is a very well-known name in local trading circles. He used to host a popular TV show about trading, helping many along the way in the markets. Garth is now based in the UK and one of his ventures is a great podcast called Talking with Traders. I've had the joy of being invited to the show in each of the past three seasons. In my latest appearance, Garth asked me to discuss the investment thesis for Accenture, Ferrari and Sysco. He is an enthusiastic Magic Markets Premium subscriber and has called it a "no brainer" to subscribe on several occasions. Our work on these three companies caught his eye and we used Garth's podcast to unpack the businesses in more detail. If you've ever wanted a taste of the quality of the work that I do with Mohammed Nalla in Magic Markets Premium, this is your chance. Listen to Talking with Traders here>>> Choppy markets ahead of the FOMCIn the build-up to the FOMC rate announcement tomorrow evening, TreasuryONE notes that the rand traded strongly until the better-than-expected PMI data reversed those gains. The rand made it to R18.07 to the dollar until that PMI announcement took our currency back up to R18.25. The commodity sector had a far better day after a poor start to the week based on disappointing Chinese data. Key metals are still off their recent highs. Naturally, all eyes in the market will be on the Fed's rate decision. Get up to speed on the UKCurious about the dealmaking environment on the ground in the UK? We have just the podcast for you!
