The market’s “weighty” overreaction
Roger Montgomery
November 8, 2023
Markets often resemble their participants, and the stock market is particularly vulnerable to the human psyche, prone to bouts of elation and despondency with each new trend. The recent euphoria surrounding a novel class of weight-loss and diabetes management drugs is a textbook example of this phenomenon. Continue…

Roger Montgomery
November 8, 2023
In the thriving metropolises of Australia, the real estate horizon is gleaming brighter than ever. House prices have surpassed previous highs, putting a final nail in the coffin of those pessimistic forecasters who predicted 25-30 per cent declines. Continue…

Dividends do not make a good company – Part 1
Roger Montgomery
November 6, 2023
I once relished receiving my dividend when they were sent as cheques in the mail. I liked tearing along that perforated line and took delight in those that were especially large in comparison to the price I had paid for the shares. I remember my shares in Fleetwood, whose dividend cheques were equal to 20 to 27 per cent of the investment I made. How silly of me then to ever hold a view about dividends that would cut out the fun of opening those innocuous, white, windowed envelopes that arrived the letter box twice a year. Continue…

Ausbiz – Does the recent rally have legs?
Roger Montgomery
November 3, 2023
In this week’s interview with Ausbiz, I wanted to discuss the potential for a continued equity rally. I cited a report from a Canaccord strategist who believes the environment does set the stage for a further rally. This is partly because, in the strategist’s view, the U.S. economy will slow down very rapidly. In fact, they put the probability of a recession at 99.9 per cent, and with stocks outside of the Magnificent Seven already lower – the U.S. Bank equity index has already been smashed by 50 per cent – it’s way too late to be negative now. So is the bad news already priced in? Watch the full interview here Ausbiz – Does the recent rally have legs?

The dawning of a new financial era: The silver lining in rising interest rates
Roger Montgomery
November 3, 2023
There is much debate about whether rates will rise or fall or stay about here for some time – the latter being my personal stance and prediction. Irrespective of our own beliefs, I think we can all agree interest rates aren’t going back to the lows we saw when the U.S. Federal Reserve cut rates to zero, and our own Australian banks benefitted from the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) term funding facility, which provided three-year funding at 0.1 per cent.
