The Australian market has long <a href="https://www.morningstar.com.au/stocks/are-investors-too-bearish-australian-equities">been considered</a> old-fashioned - but the numbers tell a different story. Over the past 20 years, the ASX 200 index has delivered an 8% annualized return - more than the risk-free rate of 4.2%. Now two strategic drivers have been added to traditional resources - critical minerals and defense, where Australia gets a political, geographic and investment head start.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on October 30 that China agreed to lift restrictions on rare earth metals exports for a year. Because of Washington's trade war with Beijing, shares of some companies mining and producing rare earth metals have risen 300-800% since the beginning of the year. The escalation has made the industry a strategic priority for the U.S., and new projects are receiving political and financial support. How to capitalize on this?

Unilever PLC

In November, Unilever will complete one of its most significant corporate decisions: spinning off its ice cream business into a separate company, The Magnum Ice Cream Company, and launching it as an IPO. The listing is scheduled for Amsterdam, London and New York. A month or so before going public, the conflict with the founders of the star brand, Ben &amp; Jerry's, escalated. Is it worth buying Unilever shares and participating in the Magnum IPO?

UnitedHealth Group Incorporated

Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

Shares of health insurance giant UnitedHealth Group lost about 60% of their value between April and August 2025. Falling financial indicators, change of CEOs (one was killed, the other resigned), investigation of suspicions of fraud against the background of the insurer's ambiguous reputation all converged at one point. And yet Warren Buffett spent $1.6 billion to buy UnitedHealth shares. Should we follow his example?
