Buy Hold Sell, by Livewire MarketsBuy Hold Sell: 7 ASX names set to thrive amid lower ratesThe RBA meets next month, with the decision due on 20 May. Regardless of what happens with the election and despite this week's slightly hotter-than-expected inflation print, a rate cut is "locked in" according to Westpac. Many in the market agree.
And whilst some believe it is the last cut we could get for a while, the market is pricing in up to three more cuts for the rest of the year.
Should these cuts materialise, there is a cohort of capital-intensive and consumer-facing businesses that could benefit from lower debt costs and increased disposable income. Of...2025-05-0105 minBuy Hold Sell, by Livewire MarketsWith more rate cuts on the way, how are the pros adjusting portfolios?With inflation finally heading in the right direction and Trump’s trade war throwing global markets a curveball, investors are laser-focused on central banks, and the RBA is firmly in the spotlight.
A second rate cut is widely expected in May, with markets pricing in a 98% chance. So, how are the pros positioning their portfolios in a falling rate environment?
To unpack this and more, Matthew Haupt from Wilson Asset Management and Tim Johnston from Tyndall Asset Management sat down with special guest host, Matthew Kidman from Centennial Asset Management.

According to FNArena's corporate results monitor, 36% of companies have missed analyst expectations this results season, while 30.4% have delivered beats. 33.7% of companies delivered results that were in line with analyst expectations. Unsurprisingly, there have been more downgrades than upgrades over the past month.
So, to help you digest the good, bad and (let's face it, mostly) ugly of the FY24 earnings season, Centennial Asset Management's Matthew Kidman was joined by Medallion Financial's Michael Wayne and First S...2024-09-0110 minBuy Hold Sell, by Livewire MarketsBuy Hold Sell: 5 solid results the market missedWe've seen some real whiplash market moves this reporting season. Take Megaport, for instance, which fell 21% in one trading day. Or Audinate, which fell 36% on its preliminary results. Or, on the other side of that, WiseTech, which soared more than 18% on its stellar report.
But what about the stocks that didn't move, or hardly moved at all - despite releasing solid results this reporting season?

Success and More Interesting StuffNo shortcuts! How Ian Macoun built a $100 billion funds management behemothIt is rare for a person to spend the first half of their working life in the public service and then pivot to build a multi-billion dollar financial business.

Ian Macoun, the Managing Director and Founder of Pinnacle Investment Management (ASX: PNI) was born in Rockhampton - a city best known for its cattle production. He left town to work for the Queensland Treasury before being poached as a 33-ye...2024-08-0757 min
