Sean Sequeira
April 27, 2023
CSL Ltd (ASX:CSL) – which labels itself as a multinational specialty biotechnology company – has long been one of the stars of the Australian market. Since listing in 1994, CSL has not missed a beat, with its share price soaring a massive 25,000 per cent. It’s a long-term holding in the Australian Eagle portfolio and, with great management and a solid growth outlook, we continue to like what we see.

Takeovers take the market stage
Michael Gollagher
April 21, 2023
In my blog post last month, ‘Volatility is the window to opportunity’ I discussed how recent market volatility may represent an opportunity for investors to take advantage of investing in quality long-term assets and distressed assets at significant discounts.

Get set for a major public stoush over immigration
Andreas Lundberg
October 21, 2021
It’s probably no surprise that NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet – now expecting his seventh child, and with 11 siblings of his own – should be in favour of a ‘Big New South Wales.’ And urged on by leading bureaucrats, the new state Premier is backing a five-year doubling of the pre-pandemic migration rate, which he says will help boost the economy. But recent surveys show his views are in stark contrast to those of the general population. continue…

It’s time to speak out against China’s authoritarian policies
Roger Montgomery
November 20, 2019
Sorry to let ethics creep into my blog, but sometimes you just have to make a statement. You see, right now, China is carrying out highly repressive policies reminiscent of George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. Given China’s global ambitions, these are scary times not just for Chinese people, but for all people who value freedom and democracy. continue…

July 23, 2019
If you feel like you’ve been working longer hours of late, you’re not alone. Data just released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) show that everyday Australians are needing to pedal harder just to stay still, as they try to battle stagnant wages growth, rising asset prices and falling cash rates. continue…

Are we deluding ourselves?
Tim Kelley
June 20, 2019
Humans are fascinating, complex creatures, capable of amazing achievements. At the same time, as psychology researchers like Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky have pushed forward our understanding of the human mind, it has become increasingly clear that we are indeed strange. Far from being the rational decision makers that behavioural theory once assumed, we find that our cognitive processes can be deeply flawed, leading to poor decision making and sub-optimal outcomes. continue…
