Amazing that by just having 20% of your portfolio be private equity, you will change the entire outlook of how your portfolio performs and the wealth you will create. I have private equity in my portfolio already but it is not sitting at 20% - will look into changing that for sure. Thanks for a great weekly insight Scott.

@Nomonde Nkopo Good questions relating to the GNU

@Werner Comrie You’re absolutely right about how the massive printing of money by so many countries is causing currency values to drop and inflation to rise. It’s like a domino effect where everything is interconnected, and traditional ways of managing money just aren’t working as well as they used to. The question of whether currencies and exchange rates even make sense anymore in this unpredictable world is a good one. When currency values are more about global events and less about actual value, it really makes you think. I completely agree that the South African Rand, for example, seems undervalued based on its true worth, but since so much is driven by market sentiment, it’s hard to rely on things getting better anytime soon. That’s why diversifying into assets that hold real value seems like the smart move. And your point about independent financial platforms is spot on - they could be game-changers by offering ways to protect and grow wealth outside of traditional currency systems. In a world where everything feels so uncertain, focusing on assets and diversification might be the best way to stay ahead of the curve.

Such a great reminder - thanks for sharing. The "octopus on roller skates" really brought it home for me.

@Siyabulela Boya Welcome to the community.

@Elric van Velden Sounds amazing!!! There must have been so much personal growth in that journey. Well done.

Oh I love this quote @Lecia Broughton and 100% correct. Focusing on our limitations will just keep us in the same cycle we are currently in. We have to fight for something more and focus on something outside of our comfort zone. Have a good weekend.
