A bad policy proposal
Andreas Lundberg
May 18, 2022
It is closing in on the election date and we are seeing some stupid proposals coming as politicians are worried over getting re-elected/elected. The LNP’s proposal for first home buyers to access their superannuation balances for a deposit for their first home purchase is one I am highlighting. I consider this a thoroughly bad proposal from an overall society point of view for several reasons. Continue…

Ausbiz: Faith in central banks is waning
Roger Montgomery
May 17, 2022
In this interview for Ausbiz Roger discusses the Federal Reserve of the United States desire to shepherd the U.S. economy and the rest of the globe to a smooth landing as it moves quickly to a ‘neutral’ rate setting. Stagflation may be on the horizon, the term coined in the 1960s, refers to low economic growth combined with high unemployment and high prices. Many analysts predict inflation to rise before improving due to ongoing labour supply constraints, with 1.7 jobs available for every jobless worker.

David Buckland
May 16, 2022

Why every setback is accompanied by a different narrative
Roger Montgomery
May 16, 2022
In this week’s video insight Roger discusses why setbacks are a necessary part of investing, especially for those keen to realise better returns. Remembering that the lower the price you pay, the higher your returns, it makes sense that we should welcome market pullbacks.

Roger Montgomery
May 12, 2022
We’ve all heard stories about new-car buyers waiting months for some in-demand models, not to mention the incredible spike in used-car prices. The same factors are behind both issues: supply chain disruptions that are plaguing most carmakers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Recent reports by Toyota and Polaris paint a picture of these disruptions, and how long we can expect them to play out. Continue…

Polen Capital
May 11, 2022
In this video Damian Bird highlights portfolio movements during the March quarter. A new position was added, TSMC, Taiwan’s leading semiconductor foundry.
