This will be an occasional free commentary, less formal, free-wheeling, mixing some market thoughts with whats happening in my world and updates on our business. Some of you know me well, other not at all. It has been quite a while since I reached out to share thoughts on life. I am not really that […]
Thank you very much for registering to be one of our readers. We started Amplifying Global FX Capital in October 2015, producing our “AmpGFX report”, two to three times per week for about a year and a half now, while trading our own capital. In a few weeks, we will introduce a new service called […]
A quick note to let you know that I have made it easier for you to read my reports. You no longer need to log-in to read the full report on-line. The link to the AmpGFX report in my emails will open automatically for all readers. In fact anyone that visits my website (AmpGFXcapital.com) will […]
Good morning in Asia, the day after the ECB let-down. This is my last day in the Singapore office of Kit-Trading.com.sg. And it’s presentation day for the upper elementary at the Australian International School which I want to attend to see Josh graduate. So it’s a short day for me, but I wanted to at […]

The Gibbs’ family in Singapore was breathing a huge sigh of relief yesterday. Our application for an E2 investor visa for the USA was successful. After several months of preparation the 5 minute interview at a window at the US embassy in Singapore was a breeze. My wife and I celebrated with an impromptu lunch […]
My family ticked one off the bucket list over the last week, we travelled to Beijing to visit the sites and walk the wall we had heard great things about. We managed to escape the smoke haze in Singapore that has been around far too long. As a friend of mine said yesterday, the haze […]
Australian consumer confidence has bounced along with the standing of the governing Liberal National Coalition after the leadership coup by new PM Malcolm Turnbull over the party’s previous leader Tony Abbott. This is good news for the Australian economy and the hope is that the new leadership can own and develop and new plan for […]
We all love to talk about the Fed, and I can’t help myself either, so here is my two cents worth. In my humble opinion it was a tactical error for Yellen to allow a no rate hike decision, it contributed to, rather than helped reduce global market uncertainty and missed an opportunity to take […]
