The Insider

The Insider gives subscribers the virtual ‘keys to the office’ so you have an inside view of the most important news, ideas, and opportunities our editorial team follows each week.

Each Monday and Wednesday, you’ll hear from Editorial Director Greg Canavan, with analysis and insight on a range of investment issues from Australia and around the world. Each Friday, you’ll hear from our Group Publisher James ‘Woody’ Woodburn. He’ll use this time to have key talks and discussions with our key editors and gurus and bring you into the conversation by answering your questions and feedback head-on.

Think of it as an ongoing communiqué…or company memo…to you, our paying customer. When we think we’ve hit upon a good idea, we’ll share it with you in The Insider — hopefully in a way that helps you feel a part of the discussion.

Nothing is off-limits…as long as it’s interesting, useful and potentially profitable to you.

In today’s Insider, I discuss recent market moves with our small-cap, micro-cap, and crypto expert Lachlan Tierney. As Lachy points out, it’s been a rough few months in this more speculative end of the market, thanks to rising interest rates and the government’s war on wealth.

Let me preface this by saying the ASX needs more companies like this. We’ve got enough banks and resources.

After the RBA raised the cash rate to 4.6% last week, Australia now has the highest official interest rates in the developed world, except for Iceland. Yes, that’s the country that completely blew itself up in the GFC.
