Most economists are forecasting a domestic and global economic slowdown. According to the UCLA Anderson Forecast, economic obstacles, including the Russia–Ukraine war, China’s COVID lockdowns, supply chain bottlenecks and labor shortages, and the consequent inflationary pressures on both finished goods and raw materials are well known, and in some cases becoming entrenched. continue…

Price and Value are two different things – just ask Canva investors
Roger Montgomery
June 3, 2022
With the share prices of tech stocks having cratered in recent months, there are perhaps few more opportune times than now to revisit the important difference between Price and Value.

From Private Equity to Zombie – The ABC of capitalism
Roger Montgomery
June 2, 2022
We have long been critics of the profitless prosperity doctrine that pervaded financial markets while money was free. The doctrine permitted companies with no profit, and no prospect of making any, to invest private equity and family office money in the pursuit of gaining market share.

Roger Montgomery
May 24, 2022
Equity markets have borne the brunt of investor panic. Rising interest rates, the biggest bond market rout since the 80s, persistent inflation from labour shortages and consequent supply chain constipation, as well as an entrenched military conflict in Ukraine, lockdowns in China, and finally an admission from the U.S. Federal Reserve they took too long to commencing reversing hyper-accommodative monetary policy is all but a pile-on for investors desperately seeking returns above the punitive rates offered by cash. continue…

Roger Montgomery
May 12, 2022
We’ve all heard stories about new-car buyers waiting months for some in-demand models, not to mention the incredible spike in used-car prices. The same factors are behind both issues: supply chain disruptions that are plaguing most carmakers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
