BRN Discussion Ongoing

Hi All. If I see correctly, new ASX 200 rebalancing is in March 2023 (which is this month). Do we think we keep our slot?
No, the rebalance Ann will this friday

I mentioned a few days ago that the government was running the change to superannuation tax rules up the flag pole despite promises to the contrary.

The present line is that it will only affect 80,000 superannuates however this is in its first year of operation.

Just like stamp duty on real estate in NSW it will not be indexed to adjust for inflation and so over time this number will greatly increase.

In the real world in which we all live someone today commencing work at the age of 20 years will have about 40+ years before they enter retirement. The implications for a ceiling of $3 million over 40 years can be evidenced by if you are an oldie like myself recalling what you paid for your first home about 45 years ago. In our case it was $38,000. It came on the market two or three years ago now and I noticed that the owners were then asking over $900,000.

Some here will not have given much thought to their retirement but the following graph using Monte Carlo calculations suggests that having $2 million in superannuation today and wanting to have an annual pension of $84,000 based on average returns will give you only a 30% chance of your $2 million lasting until your average life expectancy:




Chart showing the probability of $2 million lasting throughout retirement based up different monthly income needs.


There are lots of these tables out there on the web but the reality is the younger you retire the more money you need to have tucked away because while $3 million might seem like a lot now in 40 + years it will be a bag of lollies.

Those retirees who retired last year would have sat down with their accountants or advisers and calculated what they needed to live a comfortable life in retirement based upon the known rules and government promises. Overnight those calculations became meaningless for 80,000 Australians.

Now before you decide that these 80,000 are all fat cats or filthy rich consider this Australia has almost 3 million small business owners providing approximately 97% of all jobs in our economy. Amongst this three million business owners are:

"Medium-scale enterprises are about 56,835 in number (employing about 20 to 199 people),"

Then ask yourself if you were one of these 56,835 medium scale business owners would you want the stress and responsibility this involves if you could not at least retire with a 100% certainty that your superannuation would see you out and give you a life style that made it all worthwhile.

On the above figures to guarantee this and have a good buffer against inflation and tax law changes you would want four or five million dollars in my opinion.

Anyway these changes will not be made until after the next election so you have plenty of time to take advice, do your numbers and complain to your local member if you feel that this proposed change might not be particularly fair or reasonable for you or your loved ones.

My opinion only DYOR

I believe the leftie razor gang has got wind of, that a sizable proportion of the 42000 BRN shareholders will be millionaires and billionaires in the near future and just like all stand over organizations want their cut.
Also believe that the home safe market is going to have exponential growth over the next couple of years.

An article giving an insight into where Qualcomm believe the future is heading:


"This is a significant milestone for Qualcomm AI Research as it proves that AI models can be run efficiently on edge devices without any reliance on the cloud or an internet connection."

"Our vision of the connected, intelligent edge is happening before our eyes as large AI cloud models begin gravitating toward running on edge devices, faster and faster,” adds Qualcomm. “What was considered impossible only a few years ago is now possible."

Whether Brainchip is involved here or not, great to see a big boy like Qualcomm publicly stating the future of edge devices is looking bright.

Not sure this has been mention.
Another patent by BrainChip recently published.
View attachment 30936


Learning 🏖 🎉🥳
Just on patents.

I don’t think anyone mentioned that the Annual Report disclosed that Brainchip has 14 granted patents with THIRTY (30) now awaiting approval/grant.

Once they start to tick over we should be getting news from Brainchip on an at least weekly basis for quite some time.

I did highlight it here from Sean originally. :)

Regards 30 pending is a bloody big moat in my books, any future announcement of a patent granted should have a more and more positive growth

Doubt that Prophesee or Qualcomm would be buying BRN IP via Renesas and/or MegaChips.

Should have asked him in a scenario where Qualcomm will use Prophesee tech with BRN IP, who would need to be licenced?

It will be either Prophesee or Qualcomm.

Lots of scenarios.

Sony could licence the Brainchip IP from MegaChips a company they have had a long standing relationship with and which has a dedicated team of engineers trained in AKIDA technology.

Sony, MegaChips and Prophesee could then work together to produce the intelligent lense for Qualcomm and Apple.

Prophesee and MegaChips could work with Nintendo to produce intelligent VR headsets for gaming control.

Many different ways this could play out.

Thanks Doz.
Great find, I'm guessing on the Brainchip website and not yet shared on socials?

You may recall at the last podcast it was mentioned that the in the short term we were looking at revenue from Consumables and Industrial. Preventative/Predictive maintenance.
See the link below from Feb'22 concerning Renesas getting into Industrial automation/IOT applications. Huge growth is predicted.
Interesting that Renesas has just taped out a AKIDA chips.
They would not be Taping out chips without intending to use them.

Thinking more about this email and I am left a little confused.

When Arm and Intel became partners I was so excited. Also. When all the dots joining seemed like it was a given, that the tip of the iceberg would sink from the weight of the potential customers below the watermark. Even those (potential) customers at the tip are now potential still, despite their public acknowledgement of “trialling” the tech.

So. These partners are simply collaborators in the tech until such time time that that sign an IP licence. I’m sure this has been fully known, but the severe absence of IP income is baffling.

If Arm and Intel have taken the step to publicly acknowledge “if you can’t beat the, join them” why wouldn’t they sign an IP licence. Signing the licence gives certainty of use of the IP. Until then it remains uncertain and increases risk in development cycle.

The way it stands at present, Megachips and Renesas stand to take market share from Arm and Intel unless Arm and Intel are pushing the design through these two fabs, in turn reducing their margin on their design. And therein may lay the answer. I don’t know. Can someone make better sense of all the smoke and mirror strategy.

So two partnership announcements in two days. Let’s see some buyers today. But the spectre of falling out of the asx200 may make people more wary.
