The impact of ongoing inflationary pressure
Brett Craig
October 31, 2023
The quarterly consumer price index rose 1.2 per cent over the September quarter and 5.4 per cent over the last 12 months. The quarterly result is higher than the 0.8 per cent rise reported in June, however the annual consumer price index (CPI) headline figure has dropped from 6.0 per cent. The September results are still well above the 2 – 3 per cent target range. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has flagged that the return to target could be slower than their current forecasts.

The MG EV that blew up downstream
Roger Montgomery
October 30, 2023
While investors in electric vehicle (EV) themed companies debate long-term forecasts for the price of lithium and the pace of EV adoption, the downstream impacts of that adoption may produce more interesting investment conclusions.

Big Australia policy fuelling inflation and a housing crisis
Roger Montgomery
October 27, 2023
Post-pandemic Australia is experiencing a remarkable surge in its population. Predominantly driven by a sharp incline in net migration after border restrictions were lifted, this boom, which of course brings more customers for businesses, also puts pressure on prices, entrenches inflation when supply is unable to keep up and poses essential questions for the country’s housing sector.

Roger Montgomery
October 26, 2023
In last week’s interview with Ausbiz, I wanted to give my view on the stagnant performance of the ASX 200 over the last 16 years due to Australia’s tax-incentivised dividend policies. I also wanted to highlight how this approach leaves little for reinvestment, leading to flat returns. We delved into more insights during the interview, so if you want to hear the full discussion, have a listen to it here: There’s a good reason the S&P/ASX200 has gone nowhere in 16 years…

Is it time to reconsider investing in an ASX 200 ETF?
Roger Montgomery
October 26, 2023
In this week’s video insight, I explore why the Australian S&P/ASX 200 index has shown no capital growth in the last 16 years. Australia’s taxation system is a unique creature. It heavily incentivises dividends mainly through the mechanism of franking credits. But is it time to reconsider some of your investments? Continue…
