Roger Montgomery
July 6, 2020
I’m astounded by the stories of immediate success I’ve been hearing from those who have rarely, if ever, directly invested in the stock market. This success is often the result of mindless speculation in businesses whose share prices are out of step with future cash flows – and brings to mind Warren Buffet’s quip that “a pin lies in wait for every bubble.” continue…

New investors take note: it may be time to take your profits
Roger Montgomery
June 29, 2020
One of the rather surprising trends since the COVID-19 lockdown has been the new wave of first-time share market investors.

Global stock markets have catapulted in anticipation of a sharp economic recovery. The trouble is, no one knows how soon, or how strong, the recovery will be. My concern is that negative data could easily swing market sentiment from optimism back to pessimism. continue…

The 11-year bull market in global equities, which COVID-19 finally brought to an end, came to be derided as the most unloved bull market in history. So, what to make of the strong, and similarly disparaged, bounce since March? Many investors look to be pricing in better times ahead, but media headlines are telling a different story. continue…

Joseph Kim
May 28, 2020
Around 12 months ago, we noted that Avita Medical (ASX:AVH) – which provides a novel approach to skin regeneration – was a business worth keeping tabs on. Although its share price has felt the effects of the COVID-19 market sell-off, our positive view of the company has not changed. continue…
