The Bottom Line

We believe AI saving are going to help drive equities higher through 2026. The first quarter has seen disruption fears drive software stocks lower, though we believe moving forward a more bullish bias will emerge around AI benefits. The 4 stocks looked at today aren’t necessarily ones that first spring to mind when talking AI, but ultimately it could save them 100s of millions:

Thoughts on Greatland Resources (ASX:GGP)

Thanks for your ongoing coverage and commentary in these interesting times it is nice to know what's happening under the hood. My question is on Greatland Resources your opinion on the website is a little old now and I understand they have upped their MRE recently - this company seems solid it goes up well when it should and doesn’t collapse on rumour it seems to behave like a more mature company than it actually is - what do you see as the risks, I see they use contract labour but what is holding you back from this being a favoured exposure to gold and copper

Ask James

Question asked 11/04/2026

US Debt from Iran war

Hi guys, thanks for the effort into the reports. What's your opinion on US debt from the war? Considering their debt has been out of control for years and the only thing keeping them out of trouble is GDP growth. At what point does the spiralling debt become a problem and what knock on will it have for other economies? Thanks, Simon
