Goodlife Financial Advice

I’ve been saying for years that NZ will eventually go the path of Oz when it comes to superannuation. I also think this is a very good idea for NZ’ers. Oz has built up a huge nest-egg in their Supers over the time it’s been running. We need to get there too. This will put the younger generations in a far better position for retirement, especially because the NZ Govt Super is a mathematical impossibility to continue on the way it is.

What this means for older investors is that they will need advice to carefully plan for their retirement and likely have to involve other investment strategy outside of ‘saving’ to reach their financial independence goals.

"That means one of the key factors relevant to people’s housing decisions is likely to remain subdued until 2027. But then momentum will kick in and drive extra buying in the housing market." Tony Alexander - Economist 18/06/26

Anyone buying in this 'boring' market right now is getting in early before the curve.

With the launch of SpaceX and the mammoth amount of satellites in space - am I the only one to wonder if there is a risk of them crashing into each other?

Well…..

They avoid crashing mainly because space is enormous — satellites are tiny specks moving in precise, predictable paths.

Starlink satellites are spread across dozens of different orbital planes at around 550 km altitude, so they’re not all bunched together. Each plane has satellites spaced far apart along the orbit. They constantly track potential close approaches using data from the US Space Force and SpaceX’s own advanced Stargaze system , which uses the satellites’ star trackers to spot objects and predict risks in near real-time. If there’s even a tiny chance of collision — they’ve tightened it to 1 in a million — the satellites autonomously fire their thrusters to nudge out of the way, then return to position. They’ve done tens of thousands of these maneuvers, but actual collisions are extremely rare thanks to all that monitoring and quick adjustments.

It’s like a very carefully choreographed dance in three-dimensional space.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

How are your MANGOS today? SpaceX forces Wall St to juggle acronyms again (one of the harder parts of their job I’m told):

SpaceX roared into markets this past week with a valuation of more than $2 trillion, surpassing two members of Wall Street's "Magnificent Seven" and raising a key question: Does the Mag 7 name still fit? ‌And if not, what should replace it? The IPO, the biggest in U.S. history, vaulted SpaceX's va...

Bitcoin is currently trading at a level that this well-regarded power-law quantile model considers deeply undervalued — only the bottom ~4% of all historical readings according to the model. Over the last 2535 days - only 70 have been this level of blue on TABI model - that is about 2.7% of the time.

TLDR: Bitcoin is cheap as chips

What’s going to happen to mobile phone networks once Starlink offers global cellphone communications services? It won’t matter where you are on the planet, you’ll be able to make a call via the internet/satellites….

I’d be very worried if I were a cellphone network provider….

I guess I’d also be worried if I were a bank, taxi driver, software firm, etc… AI is coming to eat your lunch….

Invest accordingly….

Most KiwiSaver providers and their standard funds (conservative, balanced, growth, etc.) have little to no direct exposure to commodities (such as copper, gold, oil, agricultural products, or broad commodity futures/indexes) in their portfolios. So - most won’t benefit from the massive uplift coming to copper….. perhaps time for some KiwiSaver advice?

Copper isn’t simply heading higher — the fundamentals point to a potential doubling (or greater) in price over the medium term as the market finally confronts the full scale of the looming supply crunch. This is the real-world physical bottleneck at the heart of the AI, electrification, and onshoring supercycle.

Why the bullish case is so strong:

Demand is exploding from every direction at once.
Multiple multi-trillion-dollar investment waves are now competing for the same limited pool of copper:

• Aerospace: Over $1 trillion in combined Boeing and Airbus order backlogs stretching more than a decade.
• Electricity grid upgrades (transmission & distribution): More than $1 trillion planned in the U.S. alone over the next 10+ years.
• Power generation: Another $1 trillion+ in new capacity.
• Data centers and semiconductors: Global semiconductor capital expenditure and hyperscaler spending exceeding $1 trillion.
• Defense: U.S. military spending projected to rise from 3.3% to 5% of GDP by 2030.
On the supply side, the constraints are severe and structural.
• Developing a major new copper mine typically takes 7–12 years from permitting through to first production.
• Virtually no significant new world-class mines are scheduled to come online globally before 2030.
• Average ore grades have already declined by around 40% since 1991, meaning miners must process far more rock and consume far more energy to produce each pound of copper.
• Meeting future demand will require global copper production to roughly double.
• Achieving that would mean the industry needs to bring online the equivalent of about five new world-class mines every year for the next 20 years — or roughly 100 new mines by 2045.

The pipeline is dangerously thin. Despite years of underinvestment by the mining sector, even today’s elevated copper prices (around $6.50/lb in early June 2026) have failed to trigger new large-scale projects at anywhere near the pace required.
