“Value investing doesnt seem to work so well in these days of AI momentum driven stock prices that in Australia seem to be dominated by Super Funds having to keep their % allocations to the top 50 and in particular the big 4 banks. Is there such a thing anymore, as a maximum value to pay for a market leader ? David”

“Nathan spoke too quickly and the microphone obscured his mouth. The concepts are well known to many but a slower rate would have been more easily understood at least by me.”

“I used to love II. It gave great clear transparent reccomendations at a price that made sense to a younger invenstor. Unfortunatly now that have added articles and content that isn't as relevant and upped the price to the point that i cannot justify it anymore.”

“Historically good investment coverage but more interested now in increasing FUM and Kohlers woke agenda.”

“I logon to the website every day looking for new articles and research mostly on the intelligent investor page. Also use My Portfolio to see how I am doing. Weekend reading is always the first thing I will read on the weekend. I finding Stock Take not very useful. Stephen Mayne is always entertaining. I will look at Nathan's funds as see how he is doing. I am not interested investing in his funds though as I prefer to go it alone. Some of the recommendations were hit and miss. EML/DMP/ANN/DUB/SCG/FDV. Especially FDV with Nathan hammering on about it. Many sell recommendations lately. Are we long term investors? Best buy were LOV/REH/JHX We missed PME/WTC/XRO on II which I bought. Are we too conservative? Yeah, 3 stars. Should do better.”

“Doesn't support my style of investing, except for stories by Allan Kohler. He is entertaining and generally useful, though not an expert on everything. In particular, CEO interviews might benefit from comment by a real expert in very technical subjects like Biotechnology, where the probability of success depends heavily on details that Allan is not familiar with. Don”

“After paying for my subscription I've yet to read a full report. It would be great if you had a short 1 pager (or a 60 sec video clip) with the most important info in brief and links to further information. Also it wouldn't hurt to improve the UX and design aesthetics.”

“I'm interested in finding a new investment advisory service. The cost is a little high. The advice seems sound but so many recommendations are for resources companies, and I'm trying to limit my exposure to these. Finally, while a bundled offer was made to me, it involved subscriptions to News Corporation mastheads, an organisation I wouldn't give money to in a pink fit.”

“During reporting season I feel that I am getting my money's worth. Outside of it, the weekly newsletter is very short on information/ideas.”

“Whilst generally happy with the service and the depth of investigation on offer I have a small criticism. It seems the pressure to say something following company results announcements is getting in the way of deeper more considered analysis. I for one am content to wait for higher quality analysis rather than following the herd that drive short term share price reactions after results. I realise I am probably in the minority with this. I approve of the shift in focus that has occurred since NB took over as director. Looking beyond the larger blue chips is i believe a good (although potentially more risky) strategy. This differentiates II's offering and provides the opportunity to beat the market. I appreciate this courage on your behalf as this strategy also opens you up to underperform the market-something not many fundies or advisors are willing to risk.”

“I remember the old Intelligent Investor, where you knew the people and saw how they suffered a stuff up. These days it is too clinical - people like JG (the last of the old timers) come and go and we are not part off the story of why they actually headed off. We used to have lists of what shares the various analysts invested in, which gave you an idea of top tips from your favoured analyst(s). These days we have a plethora of tips, but which ones are the really top tips - ok JA put out a series of portfolios to survive Covid last year, but are the tips still current? NB in a recent review of the Ethical Fund gave four of his tips - but was that from a fund perspective, or his own portfolio. Today the analysts seem to be making tips for the funds and less so for individual investors. some stocks seem to get lots of updates, but others eg BHP and Reece - are both past their recommended Sell price - but are they actual Sells or will the price guide be adjusted - give us some guidance. Another stock ASX was trading near $90 and the sell price was adjusted from $90 to $100 to $110, so I didn't sell, now it is trading in the high $60's and the sell price has been adjusted back to $100 and current announcements aren't favourable. I preferred the old II where it seemed to be set up to to help individual investors select contrarian stocks which we would hold forever. Whereas now it seems to be a Fund Manager where the decisions are made in house and some of that information is provided for investors. Finally how should I treat the information from Eureka Report - as a recommendation because they are interviewing that particular CEO, or is it just noise to confuse me even further as to which stocks to choose?”
