How baby boomers won the genetic lottery
Roger Montgomery
May 22, 2024
Baby boomers won the genetic lottery in so many ways, not just because a whole chicken in 1973 was $1.09 (Figure 1).

Half-year performance: A comparative analysis of Australia’s big four banks
Roger Montgomery
May 13, 2024
It has been a while since we reported on the major banks, which have now all provided half-year updates to their operating performance.
Before reporting on their results, I think it worthwhile to provide you with a usefully simplified framework for analysing or comparing a bank’s performance. Despite claims of complexity in their reporting and differentiation in their offerings, the big four banks are relatively simple businesses to understand at a high level, and broadly undifferentiated, offering everyday banking, loans, credit cards, wealth management and insurance. continue…

Amid a nationwide rental crisis, Victoria stands out due to its plummeting rental vacancy rates and the surprising exodus of investors from the market. Despite what seems like a prime scenario for property investors, with demand high and supply low, why are many opting to leave? I delve into the reasons behind the investor retreat, explore the economic forces at play, including significant tax increases and the broader implications of these changes. continue…

FEAR AND GREED: Busting five myths of private credit
Roger Montgomery
May 2, 2024
In this episode of the Fear and Greed Podcast, Sean Aylmer and I discuss the evolving landscape of private credit and its emergence as a viable investment class. I explain how private credit operates outside the traditional banking system and has gained traction due to changes in banking regulations post-GFC. The conversation focuses on debunking myths around private credit, particularly the misconception that high returns necessarily imply high risk. This deep dive into private credit reveals its potential as a key component in investment portfolios, poised to become a more prominent asset class.
