Articles On Wam Microcap (ASX:WMI)

The coronavirus selloff is no longer a selloff. The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) has gone up 20% since the low in March. But I’ve got my eyes on some shares I’d buy if the selloff gets worse again. The initial panic about the spread of...

Warren Buffett is perhaps the greatest investor in the world. He has kindly spent most of his life sharing his investment knowledge for free with the world. Many people don’t like following his (or Charlie Munger’s) advice because it’s too...

I have been investing in ASX shares during the coronavirus share market selloff. This investing environment is unlike anything else that investors will have experienced. The GFC was horrific economically, but it didn’t have the physical sh...

Many investors have probably never invested through a share market crash before, myself included. And even those that were investing through the GFC and maybe even the dot-com crash are probably still baffled at just how quickly the S&...

The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is down again today after the latest restrictions were announced in Australia because of the coronavirus. It could be a good time to put $5,000 to work into shares. The last time we had such a large dec...

Although it might not seem it, I think it’s a great time to be a ‘net buyer’ (as Warren Buffett would say) of ASX shares. I’m not suggesting we’ve found a ‘bottom’ in the market right now – in fact, we very well could go lower from here. B...

I’m still buying shares through this coronavirus share market selloff. I invested in some more shares today, in-fact. Think about it. How often are we going to see share prices fall so heavily? Very rarely I would imagine. Apart from Decem...

The ASX has fallen over 5% with investors fleeing the share market for safety into…something else. I’m not sure where else you’d want to put your money with gold prices so high and interest rates so low. Perhaps capital protection is worth...

The ASX 200 (INDEXASX: XJO) fell by 3.5% this week, which is pretty painful when you consider it fell around 10% in the previous week. Toilet paper is in high demand and plenty of investors are headed for the exits. But I think it could be...

I think there are opportunities on the ASX today, which is why I was active again. At the start of the week I invested in small cap focused listed investment company (LIC) WAM Microcap Limited (ASX: WMI). Today I saw another opportunity an...

The ASX All Ordinaries (ASX: XAO) is down around 2.5% at the time of writing on worries about the coronavirus and how quickly it is spreading. Time will tell whether it’s just an infectious flu, or whether it’s a bit worse. What is definit...

The share market is finally reflecting the rising risk of global economic disruption because of the coronavirus. The ASX 200 (ASX: XJO) is down another 1.6% at the time of writing and the S&P 500 (INX) fell 3.3% overnight. Where are we...

The ASX 200 (ASX: XJO) is full of good shares that we all know, but it could be an idea to diversify away from just those shares. Lots of investors own shares of large ASX 200 businesses like Westpac Banking Corp (ASX: WBC) and Telstra Cor...

We’re already into February 2020 and I’ve got my eyes on the growth shares that I might buy this month. Hopefully February will be less eventful than January after a war almost starting between the US and Iran, the spread of the coronaviru...

You could find the best opportunities for growth on the ASX in the hunting ground of small caps.  It’s much easier for a business to double in size from $250 million to $500 million than it is to go from $2.5 billion to $5 billion. Over th...

It is totally possible to replace your entire wage with dividends from ASX shares. In my opinion, having excess cash in the bank earning interest at less than 2% just seems like a bit of a waste. Wage growth is at a very low level. Unless...
