Streaming TV ain’t what it used to be
Roger Montgomery
September 12, 2023
In 1999, I was working at an investment bank. It was a terrible year to be advising investors to invest in high-quality companies making a profit and to take profit on the technology-related initial public offerings (IPO) listed at massive first-day premiums despite being unprofitable businesses.

Why returns from artificial Intelligence require real diversification
Roger Montgomery
July 31, 2023
As noted previously, artificial intelligence (AI) has been almost the sole reason any investors have taken on risk this calendar year.

Roger Montgomery
July 7, 2023
While Google, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon battle it out in the artificial intelligence (AI) race, we all know Nvidia is raking in billions, selling them the GPUs they require while simultaneously sending its market cap into the US Trillion-dollar club alongside its major customers. continue…

Roger Montgomery
February 8, 2023
After a big spending couple of years, Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, last week declared 2023 would be a “year of efficiency.” Zuckerberg’s statement sent Meta’s share price soaring.

The rollout of Australia’s National Broadband Network (NBN) has copped plenty of criticism, and some of it’s probably justified. For a start, it’s neither particularly cheap nor fast – being ranked 61 in the world for average download speed, just behind Vietnam. Which leaves it vulnerable to being displaced by the new kid on the block: 5G. continue…

David Buckland
August 13, 2020
Despite the incredibly strong market recovery since the COVID-19 lows recorded in late-March, price moves have been far from uniform. Areas that have been hardest hit from various shutdowns include resorts and cruise lines, airlines, energy stocks and financials.
