Roger Montgomery
September 19, 2016
Confused about how to manage your portfolio in these increasingly uncertain times? You’re not alone. There are so many diverging views. And it’s easy to panic when fund managers start advising to “sell everything”. But instead of selling, a better strategy to manage risk may be to buy into something else. continue…

‘New normal’ just a fad that could hurt retirees’ plans
Roger Montgomery
September 15, 2016
Retirees are in danger of seeing their investment portfolios meaningfully and detrimentally impacted by an unwinding of the latest fad. That fad can be named “expensive defensives” and there are valid reasons for the development of this fad. Indeed many are calling it the “new normal”. But it is just a fad and one that, like all fads, will end. continue…

We all know that major corrections in the stock market occur more frequently than academic models suggest and more frequently than we would like. The question of course is not ‘if’ the market will correct but ‘when’? continue…

September 5, 2016
As we’ve pointed out recently, it’s getting harder and harder to find quality Australian businesses with really strong prospects. Which is why we are quite excited about Altium (ASX:ALU) and Vitagroup (ASX:VTG). Their profit results for FY16 were arguably two of the reporting season’s best.

Don’t ask the barber if you need a haircut
Roger Montgomery
September 5, 2016
Some analysts say you shouldn’t ask your broker whether or not to buy stocks, as they have a conflict of interest – they will always tell you to buy. So, who should you ask? Perhaps J. Kyle Bass, the man who profited handsomely from predicting the subprime mortgage meltdown. Bass is convinced China will need to devalue the renminbi, which would be bad for equities.

Through my telescope, I see a property bubble forming
Roger Montgomery
September 1, 2016

EBIT margins are deteriorating under the weight of rising wages and corporate overheads. We don’t yet see it as a repeat of the ABC Learning disaster, but we are keeping our eyes peeled. continue…

How good a guide is guidance?
Roger Montgomery
August 22, 2016
How often have we read or heard that a listed company has missed guidance? Ahead of the upcoming 2016 reporting season, I have been thinking about whether guidance is helpful or not and have been encouraged by recent developments. continue…
