Why small caps could rally from here
Roger Montgomery
July 25, 2023
Back on 12 October last year, with the S&P500 in the grip of a bear market, we published a blog titled “Why it might be time to be greedy once more”. It’s turned out to be a good call, as the index has since gained 21 per cent.

Are we headed for another AI winter?
Roger Montgomery
July 21, 2023
I remember the 1999 tech boom like it was yesterday. I was at Merrill Lynch and the average first-day premium for a Nasdaq IPO was 90 per cent! What stood out was investors’ predilection for anything with a ‘.com’ attached to it. Plenty of companies, even junior mining explorers, whacked a .com on the tail of their changed name and watched their valuations surge. Today, I’m seeing the same trend with artificial intelligence (AI). Continue…

Why you should ignore the economic noise
Roger Montgomery
July 20, 2023
Right now, I think many investors are spending too much time focusing on whether a recession is imminent and how many more interest rate rises are likely before the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) taps out. I think they would be far better off trying to identify quality companies that are winning market share, raising prices and margins, and expanding into new regions. And there are plenty of those.

Private Credit: a smart choice
Roger Montgomery
July 17, 2023
For many years I’ve advocated investment in equities. That won’t change. I believe owning quality growing businesses is the surest way to long-term wealth creation. A quick glance at the ‘rich lists’ of the wealthiest people in Australia, for example, reveals a list of business owners. And the stock market provides investors with access to many of the very same businesses. Purchase at a rational price a portfolio of businesses whose earnings march upwards over the years, and so will the market value of your portfolio. Continue…

Legacy point of sale providers are the walking dead
Roger Montgomery
July 14, 2023

And my reading of some of the broker research notes, covering the relevant companies, tells me the market doesn’t understand the implications. There is therefore much more downside ahead for these businesses. Continue…
