Monthly Musings

In this “Monthly Musings” for the month of October we will provide our Market and Economic Conditions Update for the month, introduce a brand new episode of our short video series 3 Minute Tech titled  “What would you do if you won Lotto?”, present an overview in our Focal Point section on “Super on Paid Parental Leave”, flashback to Episode 2 of our Euroz Hartleys “Finding the Front” podcast with Richard Hyde, Founder, CEO & Executive Chair of West African Resources. This is an awesome story of a geologist who did the hard yards to learn his trade and continue to build his knowledge the best he could, who then backed himself in and applied those skills to exploration in Burkina Faso. He then went on to take the company he formed in 2006 from a junior to gold producer, and provide an Investor Alert released by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission regarding reports of stolen shares due to identity theft on the rise. 

As always, we hope you enjoy.
