We are adding to A2M
The ASX200 followed Commonwealth Bank (CBA) higher into lunch as the markets largest company joined the $100 club, the stock listed back in 1991 at $5.40 illustrating the power of long-term compound investing when you back the correct business.
A choppy session played out today with early weakness bought before a midday top was put into place, the afternoon was a soggy one with weakness across the commodity complex weighing on the broader market.

the ASX200 appears to have quickly put last weeks “May jitters” behind it as the index rallies towards both its 2021 & all-time high. Another day of Commonwealth Bank (CBA) scaling fresh levels certainly helped but the buying was broad based with 75% of stocks closing positive although I did feel it was more a lack of sellers that was the main market driver but either way the result’s the same, the post GFC & COVID bull markets remain intact.
A strong session saw the ASX trade above where it started the month as it looks to buck the “sell in May and go away” trend. The star of the show was Hub24 (HUB), which we own in the Flagship Growth Portfolio, rallying +8.89% without any news.
Join Portfolio Manager James Gerrish & Senior Analyst Jules Copper as they do a deep dive into software business Altium (ALU). The stock has had a difficult time over the last 12 months, and now trades very close to it’s 12 month lows. The market remains split and somewhat skeptical of the companies current guidance and therein lies the opportunity.

The ASX200 shrugged off some initial morning jitters to commence the week on the front foot rising +0.2% with strength in the banking sector more than offsetting losses in the heavyweight miners e.g. Commonwealth Bank (CBA) and National Australia Bank (NAB) each rallied +0.7%, while OZ Minerals (OZL) and Fortescue Metals (FMG) both fell by over -4%.
The Australian market was swung around like a ragdoll in a whipsawing start to the week with the lead changing hands 5 times before calm set in late in the day.
