Commodities into the Stratosphere!
Roger Montgomery
March 6, 2013
Despite the use of the Chinese and Indian middle class we reckon the usual commodity cycle will prevail. At no time in the last 200 years has such a steep rise in prices not been followed by a slump.
Canada’s central Bank governor Mark Carney disagrees with us and thinks this boom is a super cycle and will last a while yet. BHP’s Marius Kloppers however, in a farewell interview on the ABC, said lower Iron Ore prices would be BHP’s next big challenge and Mr Carney’s own Deputy, John Murray warned just last year not to expect prices to keep rising..

Roger Montgomery

Australia’s farmers agree. Coles and Woolies need to be reigned in. I was chatting with John Morrison on ABC Radio this week and my description of the ultimate result of government policy settings fired up the farming community. So grab a coffee, a cup of tea, a beer or a glass of pinot and settle in.
This is one issue that affects all Australians and their wallets.
This interview was broadcast 12 February 2012. Listen here.

Nothing happened but who should we believe?
Roger Montgomery
February 14, 2013
It seems even the facts are up for interpretation when reading reports of what happened overnight. Is the invention of news signs of indigestion?
As you know I have long suggested that the daily market wrap is a bit of an information free zone for long-term investors. Occasionally however it can be funnier than the comic strips. This morning the overnight reports that arrived in our inbox gave us reason to have a chuckle.

February 14, 2013
The US S&P 500 recorded a multi-year low in March 2009, at 667 points.

Too Much Bull?
Roger Montgomery
February 13, 2013
Last week several media outlets reported that Merrill Lynch had released a prediction that the market may correct. Without giving you the entire report – you need to become a client of Bank of America Merrill Lynch for that (To enquire about becoming a client contact: Bank of Amercia Merrill Lynch: Lvl38/ 1 Farrer Pl, Governor Phillip Tower, Sydney NSW 2000 (02) 9225 6500) – we thought you should be aware of the interesting work they are doing.
