What Mattered Today

The ASX200 gave up early gains and finished lower today after investors were rattled by a fiery speech from US President Donald Trump at midday our time, dampening hopes for a quick resolution to the Iran conflict. The index traded up as much as ~0.4% earlier in the session before reversing sharply as oil prices surged and geopolitical risks again took centre stage.

Xero Ltd (XRO)

Dear James and Team I have been a subscriber for many years and respect your views and strategy on the market This week you topped up on Xero . I agree with you that this is a quality business and on a risk/reward basis could well be higher in 12 months time ( along with many other software companies ) What was your trigger to top up now ? I am not questioning your judgement but just trying to understand your process Was your decision based on a price point , or some other factors For the record I do own Xero and will top up at some stage , but not until I see some evidence of price appreciation above the moving averages I look forward to your comments Many thanks David
