We run through why dividends are valuable for investors, and a valuation technique for shares that investors are usually quick to dismiss.
A message from Mark and Shani
For the past five years, we’ve released a weekly podcast to arm you with the tools to invest successfully. We’ve always strived to provide independent, thoughtful analysis, backed by the work of hundreds of researchers and professionals at Morningstar.
We’ve shared our journeys with you, and you’ve shared back. We’ve listened to what you’re after and created a companion for your investing journey. Invest Your Way is a book that focuses on the investor, instead of the investments. It is a guide to successful investing, with actionable insights and practical applications.
The book is currently in presale which is an important time to build momentum. If anyone would like to support this project you can buy the book now. Thanks in advance!
This week in Mark’s Unconventional Wisdom column, he looks at the investment theory of mean reversion. Simply, what goes down, must come up. A deep exploration shows that this type of strategy can be successful for individual investors, and he calls out 5 ASX opportunities using this strategy.
The largest asset manager in the world, Blackrock has declared that the 60/40 portfolio should be rethought. They also believe that a 70/30 portfolio is likely to deliver 6.5% going forward. In this week's Future Focus column, Shani takes a look at what the research says, and what investors can realistically do to still achieve their goals.
Over a year has now passed since Guzman y Gomez's ASX debut. So in the latest edition of Ask the analyst, Joseph thought it would be a good idea to catch up with Morningstar's consumer sectors analyst Johannes Faul. Johannes discussed his view on Guzman's long-term prospects in Australia, what might be baked into the share price at recent levels, and why Johannes is more cautious on Guzman's international prospects than the market.
The recent surge in crypto - especially Bitcoin - has reignited debate over the role of these alternative assets in modern investing. In this week's Young & Invested, Sim unpacks what's fuelling the latest bull run and explores whether crypto deserves a strategic position in the long-term portfolios of young investors.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
