The Rules of InvestingChris Stott: Why small caps are firing and 5 'Reporting Season Awards'August reporting season was a rollercoaster but it didn't stop the momentum that has been pushing the ASX higher in 2025.  There were shock sell-offs, steady beats, and a very strong showing from small caps. To help make sense of it, Livewire spoke with small cap stock picker Chris Stott from 1851 Capital, and our very own Kerry Sun, who spends his days hunting for insights from announcements, broker notes and market moves to share with readers on Market Index and Livewire.

The Rules of InvestingRudi: It’s not a bubble, AI’s next winners, and what investors are overlookingInvesting feels easier when markets are messy. When volatility spikes and fear takes hold, putting fresh capital to work can feel rational, even opportunistic. But when markets are cruising near record highs, valuations look stretched, and AI stocks are powering ahead like a runaway train, adding to a portfolio can feel unnerving. It’s a sentiment shared by many right now. With the ASX 200 trading at elevated multiples and earnings growth on track to post its third consecutive annual decline, the contradiction is hard to ignore. But according to FNArena Editor Rudi Filapek-Vandyck, it’s not...

But with share prices surging and earnings not growing as fast, it's not so simple anymore. Take the poster child for the movement, Commonwealth Bank (ASX: CBA), as an example. When it was first listed, its yield was north of 7%. Today, it hovers around 3%.  Many would point to the fact that the CBA share price has r...

Markets typically increase over time, so this is a perfectly acceptable way to invest.  Long/short investors, however, can also profit when markets fall—but that's too simplistic an explanation. It suggests that long/short managers make money equally when markets go up and down, which is rarely the case.  Because long/short managers are also active beta managers (i.e. they pick stocks to o...

Once identified, a long/short manager will buy the stronger-performing company in the pair and sell the weaker-performing company. This is known as a 'pairs' trade.

Buy Hold Sell, by Livewire MarketsBuy Hold Sell: 2 high-conviction fundies analyse each other's top picksThere are many market maxims that investors hold close to their hearts. Here are just a few of them: It's time in the market not timing the market. Buy the rumour, sell the fact. Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful! It's not whether you're right or wrong that's important, but how much money you make when you're right and how much you lose when you're wrong.  But perhaps one that should also be added to the list is "Two views make a market" - highlighting that to buy shares in a c...

Buy Hold Sell, by Livewire MarketsWhy you should only focus on your best ideas (and 2 to get you started)Back in May, Livewire sat down with the chief investment officer of a family office - i.e. the steward of a billionaire client's wealth.  The main takeaway, for this anonymous writer at least, was that Australia's ultra-wealthy are on the hunt for concentrated, high-conviction funds - those that hold a smaller number of stocks, look very different from the benchmark, and generate returns far different from the index too.  So in this episode of Buy Hold Sell, we're hoping we can learn what sets these types of funds apart - and of course, whether inve...

The Rules of InvestingThe investment secrets of Australia's billionairesThere seems to be no stopping Australia's ultra-wealthy, with the number of billionaires down under growing by 14.4% over the past 12 months, to a record 159 people. For some context, in 2020, this number was 117, according to The Australian.  While it's wonderful to daydream about what you would buy or do with a few billion dollars, the true secret success of the ultra-wealthy is their ability to stay that way. After all, how many stories have you read of lottery winners squandering their newfound wealth just a few short years later?  So, how do the other half continue to...

Signal or NoiseWhat will the RBA do next? (And what does it mean for your money?)Forecasts are forecasts but the numbers don't lie. And at the end of the day, the numbers show an extremely tough conundrum for the Reserve Bank of Australia. Services inflation has not come down as fast as the RBA would like and goods inflation is starting to tick up. And while the overall inflation downtrend is generally intact, markets are extremely jittery to any upside surprise.  The jobs market remains incredibly tight, housing costs continue to skyrocket, and consumer-led indicators like retail sales and confidence continue to remain sluggish. So how will the Reserve Bank o...

The ASX 200 is tracking at six-month lows while the NASDAQ is off by more than 6% in the last 30 days alone. The US 10-year yield, widely considered the global benchmark for asset valuations, is up 50 basis points in just one month.

Weaker profit growth and cautious guidance statements look likely to dominate the upcoming annual results season.  After all, the list of headwinds is plentiful and many of them remain unresolved. Is the Reserve Bank's July pause actually going to stick this time? Australian inflation sits at around 6% but which businesses will bear the brunt (and benefit) of those increased costs? Can the leading economic indicators break out of their long and sluggish downtrend?  And most importantly, which corporates wi...

Signal or NoiseWhy the ASX is trading like a recession is coming (and the NASDAQ isn’t)On May 3rd, 2022, the Reserve Bank of Australia hiked the cash rate target by 25 basis points to 0.35%. In the last paragraph of that day's decision statement, the Board wrote the following: "The Board is committed to doing what is necessary to ensure that inflation in Australia returns to target over time. This will require a further lift in interest rates over the period ahead." Since then, the RBA has hiked that rate by 400 basis points (4%) and still isn't ruling more out, even if it creates a much larger risk of recession.  Equity market investors have w...

Australia has a friendly tax structure for those who rely on those dividends for passive income. But after 11 rate rises in an unprecedented year for markets, other investment avenues have come back into vogue.  Bonds are back, thanks to a massive spike in yields across the government and corporate curves. Rental yields continue to go up, thanks primarily to the massive shortage in urban Australia. Even a term deposit can fetch you 5% interest at some financial i...

Signal or NoiseSignal or Noise: Why the RBA’s May rate hike was the right decisionBefore the COVID-19 pandemic, the Reserve Bank of Australia was considered one of the leading lights in the global central banking circuit. For a large part of the last 30 years, inflation has been within the Bank's 2-3% target and the broader economy has not been in a technical recession once thanks in large part to strong monetary policy settings.  When the pandemic arrived, the cash rate was just 0.75%. It was quickly cut to 0.1% and Governor Philip Lowe strenuously argued that the nominal interest rate would not be taken below zero (unlike in Japan or Europe).  Wh...
