Industry Biases (Part 2)
Kicking right off where I left last week, I’m turning my focus back to the Robin Bowerman article called – The perils of market-timing and over-confidence.

BHP’s $40 barrier
For decades BHP has been the “big Australian” being the country’s largest market capitalised stock. But every now and then it gets knocked off its perch as it has been in the past by Telstra and currently by CBA. BHP is currently capitalised at A$121.4 billion on the ASX compared to CBA clocking in at […]
