Roger Montgomery

Roger Montgomery
December 16, 2022
When investors, like Montgomery, and our partners, Australian Eagle, talk about quality Australian companies – those with wide and deep economic moats or competitive advantages, relatively low debt, high returns on equity and growing profits – Australian biotech CSL Limited (ASX:CSL) invariably appears near the top of the list.

In this blog, we turn to the U.S. Given Goldman Sachs’s close relationship with the U.S. Federal Reserve, their views are certainly worth reading – particularly in relation to the likely direction of interest rates. continue…

Does positive U.S. data mean it’s time to invest again?
Roger Montgomery
December 8, 2022
Recent U.S. data is confirming our thesis from the start of the year – that inflation will peak, the pace of rate increases will slow and eventually stop, and a new bull market will inevitably begin. To my mind, this points to one conclusion: it’s time to invest again. continue…

Roger Montgomery
November 29, 2022
Warren Buffett is no fan of airlines as an investment. He once wrote that “if a far-sighted capitalist had been present at Kitty Hawk, he would have done his successors a huge favor by shooting Orville down.” And I doubt he would change his mind when it comes to investing in Qantas (ASX:QAN).
