David Buckland
January 4, 2024
Despite wars in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip, and the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank in March 2023, the Magnificent Seven (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla) rose by an average 111 per cent over calendar 2023. This greatly assisted the performance of the US-based Nasdaq, up 43.4 per cent for the year. Continue…

A short history of predictions
Roger Montgomery
December 21, 2023
In January this year, a veritable conga-line of economists and strategists were publishing their forecasts for the year ahead, as they do every year. Now, safely at the other end of the 2023 calendar, we have the luxury of testing the prescience of these clairvoyants. Here at Montgomery, we play the ball rather than play the man, so we won’t be naming any of the forecasters, but rest assured, these are all prognostications that were published and distributed in January this year.

Putting today’s market in context
Polen Capital
December 20, 2023
For investors, the last four years have seen some remarkable events, which have had a profound impact on equity markets globally. Volatility has been elevated on both the ups and downs. The global pandemic that began in early 2020 induced a sharp correction as the initial curtailment of day-to-day activity became apparent.

ABC Nightlife – Retails challenges and the future of private credit
Roger Montgomery
December 20, 2023
In this week’s ABC Nightlife interview, my last for 2023, Philip Clark and I delved into the challenges facing the Australian retail sector. I highlighted the potential difficulties anticipated for retailers in early 2024, post-Christmas, with the contributors being a significant decline in consumer spending and savings. I also discussed the evolution of private credit since the GFC, with the lending gap between banks and the SME sector, along with the advantages it presents for investors.

Roger Montgomery
December 18, 2023
If you aren’t already aware I am optimistic about the prospect for small caps in 2024. Provided we have a combination of positive economic growth (even a short technical recession won’t upset my thesis) and a continuation of the disinflation that has informed the path of consumer prices over the last year, innovative small cap growth companies have the opportunity to catch up to mega-caps that dominated the investment landscape in 2023.
