Roger Montgomery
February 28, 2019
For 10 years now, the S&P 500 has been on a run, soaring from under 800 points to around 2800 points. But is this as good as it gets for now? Warren Buffett seems to think so. And criticism of his recent investment decisions could signal that the market is due a breather. Continue…

David Buckland
March 14, 2019
I believe Vaughan Bowen is one of Australia’s great telecommunications entrepreneurs. Vaughan was the founder of M2 Telecommunications, which proved exceptionally rewarding for its long-term shareholders. After floating on the ASX in October 2004 for $0.25, it proceeded to rally to $11.00 – whilst paying out an aggregate $1.23 in dividends – over the ensuing ten-and-a-half year period. Continue…
