Tax-Loss Selling in Australia – Brief Historical Analysis And A Trade Basket

By Travis Lundy

  • I am not a tax advisor and I do not play one on TV but it is a subject of interest in Australia, as an AFR article last year shows.
  • The general gist of the idea is that retail investors in Australia will take gains on things which run up in price, or get taken over, then look for losses.
  • Below I present a study using data from 2012-2022 of how a basket portfolio trade might work.

Empire Energy Group Ltd – Carpentaria – on the Road to First Gas

By Research as a Service (RaaS)

  • Empire Energy Group Limited (ASX:EEG) is an oil and gas producer/developer, with onshore Northern Territory (NT) and US oil/gas production assets.
  • EEG has the largest tenement position in the highly prospective Greater McArthur Basin, which includes the Beetaloo Sub-basin.
  • The NT energy basins are fast developing as strategic high-calorific gas bolsters for east coast Australia’s future domestic requirements, growing Gladstone LNG ullage and potential supply for Darwin’s expanding LNG export terminals, amid funding support from Territory and Federal governments. 

Incannex Healthcare – Spotlight on Incannex’s progress in psychedelics

By Edison Investment Research

Incannex, an Australian-based biotech, has several active studies investigating cannabinoid combinations for a range of conditions, but is also focused on assessing psilocybin for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). In the psychedelics space, Incannex’s ongoing Phase II trial (Psi-GAD) received an encouraging interim review in March 2023, and we see the completion of the study in Q4 CY23 as a significant catalyst. Incannex has also recently announced developments in its psychedelic clinics business through its subsidiary Clarion Clinics Group. In this note, we provide an overview of psychedelics as therapeutics, the GAD market, and Incannex’s position in the emerging field of psychedelic-based therapies. Our valuation for Incannex stands at US$750.7m or US$11.83 per ADR (vs US$745.8m or US$11.75 per ADR previously).
