December ABC Nightlife – Finance
Roger Montgomery
December 19, 2024
This week, I had the pleasure of joining Phil Clarke on ABC Nightlife to reflect on the surprising performance of the share market in 2024 and to discuss my outlook for 2025. At the start of the year, many investors and advisers anticipated modest returns following a strong 2023. However, the market defied expectations, delivering even greater gains despite being described by some experts as a “melt-up.” During the episode, I shared insights into why I believe markets may not be as overvalued as they appear, along with what else is on the horizon.

Is Big Australia a big mistake or a big lie?
Roger Montgomery
December 19, 2024

The U.S. recorded its 23rd consecutive federal deficit in the year to September 2024 at US$1.83 trillion, around 6.5 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP). For October and November 2024, the federal budget deficit hit US$622 billion, up US$242 billion or 64 per cent year-on-year. Admittedly, some of the jump was related to timing differences. Continue…

Any fears for 2025?
Roger Montgomery
December 17, 2024
At the beginning of 2024, investors and commentators were almost unified in their belief that after a solid 2023, more modest returns were likely. An article in the Australian Financial Review (AFR) at the beginning of the year described the market thus: “An inexplicable and self-perpetuating melt-up that veteran analysts unanimously agree defies the fundamentals is powering the broader index to all-time highs.” Continue…

In my recent interview on ABC Statewide Drive with Jess McGuire, I shared insights on the outlook for the stock market in 2025. We discussed how focusing on the combination of disinflation and positive economic growth can be key drivers of success, rather than getting caught up in the noise from the broader financial commentary.

Roger Montgomery
December 13, 2024
Yesterday, I appeared on ausbiz to share my thoughts on the current bull market, including the potential for a correction in January or a broader pullback next year. We discussed how disinflation and economic growth have historically supported innovative companies with pricing power. I also touched on sentiment indicators like the “euphoriameter”, highlighting that while these can signal extremes, the S&P 500 has historically continued to rally after past peaks. Continue…
