Market Matters Investment Approach

The Big Calls We Got Right.

2014 - We were unpopular, but correct, when we called significant declines in much loved household names BHP Billiton (BHP) & Woolworths (WOW).
2015 - Our favourite three stocks were Regis Resources (RRL) which rallied over 80%, Challenger Group Financial (CGF) which rallied 75% and Telstra (TLS) which rallied 17% - a nice trifecta.
2016 - We suggested a major reposition around resources, becoming bullish after an extended period of weakness, which proved to be a great call with heavyweight BHP Billiton (BHP) rallying 40% & many stocks we held up significantly more.
2017 - Interest rates were a key influence this year and we highlighted this ahead of time, giving subscribers the early heads up on repositioning for this changing dynamic.
2018 – We called and navigated two major stock-market corrections, proving reassurance to subscribers and a practical & profitable road map to follow.
2020 - While we failed to foresee the Pandemic, our bullish positioning as the recovery unfolded saw us outperform the market by more than 23% from March through December. Our top three calls for the year were Oz Minerals (OZL), Sims Group (SGM) & Tencent (700 HK) which rallied between 30% & 95%

I’ve been through the ringer in terms of stock market newsletters - all tend to make big bold claims but unfortunately the ones I tried delivered very little, until I found Market Matters. I’m a firm believer in transparency and integrity and these are obvious in your service. Keep up the good work.
