Two earning season opportunities
Over the next few weeks, I’ll cover stocks from this earnings season that catch my eye and give broader comments on what results say about market valuations. To kick off, here’s a large and small-cap stock to tempt patient long-term investors.

Two ways to play this tariff-fuelled market volatility
This tariff-fuelled market volatility presents an opportunity for long-term investors. I’d use any period of extended volatility to buy into market weakness, capitalise on lower asset prices, and add to portfolio exposures. Here are two ways I’d play this.
“HOT” stock: Silex Systems (SLX)
In our “HOT” stock article today, Michael Gable, MD of Fairmont Equities, says that Silex Systems is setting itself up for another decent move higher.
