Roger Montgomery
August 29, 2024
In this week’s video insight, I discuss the long-term outperformance of founder-led companies and why they should be a core component of your investment portfolio.

Firstlinks – What to do about the growing chorus of market correction warnings?
Roger Montgomery
August 2, 2024
In my recent article for Firstlinks, I explore the rising concerns about a potential market correction. Since 2022, I’ve been optimistic about stocks rising despite recession fears and increasing interest rates, based on expectations of positive economic growth and disinflation.
