Ausbiz – New CEOs but same old mistakes…
Roger Montgomery
October 8, 2024
In last week’s interview with Ausbiz, we discussed the recent accusations against Coles (ASX:COL) and Woolworths (ASX:WOW) for misleading shoppers about discounts. We explored how the new leadership at both companies, with female CEO’s, might bring a more nuanced and sensitive approach to crisis management. While Coles has taken a defensive stance, Woolworths’ more measured response could ultimately benefit their long-term brand value. Drawing from past examples like Qantas (ASX:QAN) and Exxon, I highlighted the importance of transparency and suggested that the supermarket that embraces change could gain a competitive edge in the market.

Market volatility and the unbottling of ‘turning points’
Roger Montgomery
October 2, 2024
It was, for example, wise to be alert to the possibility of a large move lower if volatility emerged after a long rally. And while it has been my experience that volatility does indeed cluster around major turning points, it’s possible I only remember what I want to. Continue…

ABC Newcastle Mornings – September 2024
Roger Montgomery
October 1, 2024
In this morning’s interview with Paul Turton on ABC Newcastle Radio, the discussion highlighted concerns about the treatment of suppliers by major supermarkets. The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) is currently pursuing legal action against these supermarkets, accusing them of inflating prices while presenting them as “discounts.” Despite these allegations, the duopolistic structure of the supermarket industry makes it unlikely that consumers will significantly alter their shopping habits.

ABC News – What Coles and Woolies can do to rescue their reputations after fake discount claims
Roger Montgomery
October 1, 2024
Last week, I appeared on ABC News to discuss what Coles (ASX:COL) and Woolworths (ASX:WOW) can do to rebuild their reputations after accusations of fake discount claims, which caused a drop in both share prices. Coles is set to defend itself to the Australian Compeititon & Consumer Commission (ACCC), but both companies must act quickly to regain public trust. One of them has the chance to rally community support by being the first to address the issues openly and make meaningful changes to their pricing strategies. Continue…

When I worked in derivatives trading in the early ’90s, one of the accepted truths about market behaviour was that “volatility picks up around turning points”.
