Welcome to Ep 1 of BBB’s successor, your exclusive weekly Premium Briefing

NEW! THE BIZNEWS PREMIUM PODCAST: Premium Briefing Ep 1 – Introducing our new podcast for subscribers only – markets insights and podcast highlights.It must have been an intense week for Rob Hersov. His BNC#4 keynote evoked considerable reaction, most of it favourable as you'll read in more than 1,000 comments under the BizNewsTV recording on YouTube (already watched by over a quarter million people)..___STEADY_PAYWALL___.Even outliers – News24 and Sowetan – found their attack on the messenger was out of line with the view of those who consume their product. It's a reminder of how dangerous it is to under-estimate the intelligence of your readers, something we are continuously reminded of via feedback from the BizNews community..On that front, a couple weeks back the BizNews Interactive channel on WhatsApp was buzzing after we stopped the daily BBB podcast after 44 "pilot" episodes failed to attract sponsorship. It's heartening to know the product was appreciated. The reality of a self-funded organisation is focus on appropriately allocating resources..So we've re-assessed and will now produce a weekly edition, exclusively for Premium members. The free daily BBB was unsustainable. Its successor, the Premium Briefing, is. I really hope it hits the spot for you..PS: I am grateful to those who publicly stood up for BizNews – and myself – on social media in the wake of News24's publication of that ad hominem attack. No endorsement comes close to the value of a spontaneous one. And a reminder that our tribe supports our approach of NOT attempting to tell them how to think. We won't. Ever..More for you to read today: .Dollar's Rise Spells Trouble for Global Economies. The surge threatens to exacerbate a slowdown in global growth and amplify inflation headaches for global central banks. Energy and Mining Are Making the Stock Market Look Too Good. Investors should beware of their favorite valuation tools.What Good Leadership Looks Like Now vs. Pre-Covid. The pandemic has changed the essential qualities displayed by leaders of the best-run companies. Ag, no Rapport! Jeremy Gordin says the media's shaming of Elton Jantjies and Zeenat Simjee was mean and unnecessary..Don't dump the FAANGS – Omba's Mark Perchtold says the worst may be over for Nasdaq's fallen angelsIn recent weeks, the BizNews tribe has been subjected to strong opinions on why 'Value' stocks are about to enjoy a massive re-rating – and high flyers of the past few years set to fall even further after the recent 30% correction. London-based Mark Perchtold presents the counter view, arguing that concerns about inflation running riot are overdone and as a result, that it is time to start accumulating beaten-down Big Tech stocks. The cornerstone of his mindset is a view that technological advances, population growth and globalisation will continue to exert a powerful influence on price increases. And as a result, that once aberrations like supply chain blockages, interest rate hikes and the Ukraine War are behind us, the world will return to a place where deflation, rather than inflation, is a more likely danger.
