Google’s Antitrust Battle: August Decision expected

By: Michael Hakes, CFA, MBA

At The Murray Wealth Group, we continuously track developments in the tech sector. Today, we would like to examine the ongoing antitrust case against Google by the Department of Justice (DOJ), as understanding the case’s trajectory, potential remedies, and upcoming milestones are crucial for assessing its broader market implications. This lawsuit,  which has been closely watched since its inception, seeks to address alleged anti-competitive practices by the tech giant. The judge is expected to issue a ruling (or possibly a call for further comments) sometime in August.

Timely Tax Tips

 It is always a good idea to review your accounts to ensure you are achieving the most tax savings available to you each year.

A few accounts that you should consider, if you do not already have them, include: 

TFSA

These tax-free accounts are ideal for all Canadian residents. They are very flexible for both short and long-term investors. If you have non-registered savings, there are very few reasons to have unused contribution room in your TFSA. The earlier in the year you transfer money to max out your TFSA, the earlier your gains are protected from tax.

Contribution Deadline: None

Contribution Limit: $6,000 for 2022.

If you have not contributed to a TFSA before, you will have $81,500 in unused contribution room provided that you reached the age of at least 18 in 2009. Read

We’ve been featured in The Globe and Mail!

Four TSX Stock Picks for an Expected Economic Recovery from an Index-beating Fund Manager.

SPECIAL TO THE GLOBE AND MAIL
BRENDA BOUW

“It was a long-term bet on Big Tech and a mix of consumer and health care stocks that helped Murray Wealth Group deliver double-digit, benchmark-beating returns last year.

‘We buy companies we believe in for the long term and that we’re comfortable buying in stressed times,’ says Jamie Murray, portfolio manager and head of research at Murray Wealth Group, which manages about $180-million in assets.

The company says its flagship Global Equity Growth Fund returned 21.5 percent in 2020, which beat the 12-per-cent return of its benchmark, which includes 75 percent of the MSCI World Index and 25 percent of the S&P/TSX Composite Index. The company says the fund’s five-year return was 13.3 percent versus 10.5 percent for its benchmark.”

A Message from Our Team

A Message from Our CEO, Bruce Murray

Over my career, I have witnessed almost a dozen selloffs of 20% or more, which is about one every 3-4 years. Of these, the following are remembered:

  • 1973-1974 
    • Creation of OPEC and the first oil embargo
    • Concern over inflation and the collapse of the Nifty Fifty
  • 1979-1982 
    • 2nd OPEC crisis resulting from Iran/Iraq war
    • The Central Bank intervention to break inflation and the Third World Debt crisis
  • 2000-2003 Tech Bubble collapse
  • 2008-2009 Mortgage Crisis
  • 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic

Of the above examples, the 1980-1982 downturn was the one that scared me the most. We were hostage to OPEC, inflation was rampant, already high, and rapidly rising, interest rates were devastating to both businesses and consumers, bankruptcies were widespread.

Crude Oil Drinks a Corona (catches a virus)

MWG SPOTLIGHT ON CURRENT EVENTS:

Crude Oil Drinks a Corona (catches a virus)

This is reminiscent of late 2014 when Saudi took aim at the US Shale industry, creating an all-out price war which led to oil prices falling from US$100+/bbl to US$30/bbl a year later. The energy industry has adjusted its cost base and mostly survived that fall but it’s in for another fight as Russia has indicated it will continue to pump as planned. For Canada, this is another blow to Alberta and could push the province into a recession in short order.
