This week’s update at a glance
- Why most investors stay average — and how to break free. We focus on the thinking shift that moves you from conventional wisdom to a repeatable, high probability process.
- What history shows after rate cuts. Past cycles often provided a tailwind, but context and selection still matter.
- Where the leadership is now. Improving breadth in small caps, constructive signals in semis/tech, and ongoing strength in precious metals — with an emphasis on selectivity.
- The guardrails. Think in risk/reward terms (not “favourite stocks”) and avoid markets where price action is highly unpredictable.
What you’ll learn
- The simple mindset shift that puts you on a repeatable track, not a one-off tip.
- How to filter for high probability, high growth businesses — and ignore distractions.
- Why the rate-cut backdrop can help, and where investors still need caution.
- Practical do’s and don’ts for trimming losers and redeploying capital with intent.

The thinking shift (in plain English)
There are only two kinds of opportunities: those with a high probability of a positive outcome you can repeat, and everything else. Narrow your universe to the former and your results change — often dramatically. Simpler rules, fewer decisions, better execution.
What history shows (with important caveats)
Across prior cutting cycles, the 12-month performance of broad indices has often been strong. That’s useful context, not a promise. Stock selection and risk management still do the heavy lifting — especially when valuations are elevated.
Where I’m focused now
- Leadership & momentum: Semiconductor/tech strength supports a constructive backdrop; small caps continue to improve.
- Precious metals: Ongoing strength in gold and silver remains notable for Australian producers.
- Selectivity over “a rising tide”: With elevated multiples in parts of the market, disciplined selection matters more than ever.
