Australian Retail Sales Update….tailwinds for some
Roger Montgomery
March 7, 2018
We’re keen to keep an eye on retail sales. You might recall we have previously explained that on the positive side, unemployment if very low, is very good for retail conditions.

Roger Montgomery
May 18, 2017
Are the structural challenges being faced by retailers continuing? Or are they now increasing?

How to assess JB Hi-Fi
Tim Kelley
September 20, 2016
The recent move by JB Hi-Fi (JBH:ASX) to acquire The Good Guys has a lot of investors excited.
