Season 1, Episode 40

 Tony Gives Up His Rights 

Tony talks about rights issues and some of the com­plex­i­ties involved in know­ing whether to take them up or not. I know, right? Sounds bor­ing! It was­n’t actu­al­ly, I learned a lot. We also dis­cussed a few recent news arti­cles about val­ue invest­ing, Tony reveals his wine of the week, and in our analy­sis sec­tion we break­down the finan­cials of Hori­zon Oil. 

As I’m post­ing this late in the day on 2019-12-04, our port­fo­lio is out-per­form­ing the All Ords by 1300%! 

I know that won’t last, but it’s a nice num­ber to see, even if it’s just for a sin­gle day. The ASX had a bad cou­ple of days, down 3.5% since Mon­day, thanks, so I’ve been told, to Trump’s inten­tion to impose a 25% tar­iff on steel and a 10% tar­iff on alu­minum imports from Brazil and Argenti­na. Our port­fo­lio has­n’t moved much though. Per­haps because we’re already buy­ing the stock at a dis­count to their intrin­sic val­ue? 

Still, of course the ASX will pick back up and we’ll be back on track for our 200% bench­mark at some point. I won­der how many com­pa­nies just went QAV pos­i­tive today?

QAV AU 851 — From Zero to System: A First-Year QAV Journey

In this Christ­mas edi­tion of QAV Aus­tralia, Cameron is joined by QAV mem­ber Scott Mee­han for a wide-rang­ing, can­did con­ver­sa­tion about what it’s real­ly like to start invest­ing from scratch. Scott shares his jour­ney from com­plete begin­ner to dis­ci­plined sys­tem-based investor, explains why QAV appealed to him amid the noise and hype of finan­cial media, and reflects on the emo­tion­al shift from con­stant port­­fo­lio-watch­ing to calm, rules-dri­ven deci­­sion-mak­ing. The episode explores patience, tim­ing ver­sus luck, the psy­chol­o­gy of draw­downs, the temp­ta­tion of “10-bag­ger” nar­ra­tives, and why bor­ing, repeat­able process­es tend to win over time. It’s a ground­ed, human look at invest­ing as lived expe­ri­ence rather than the­o­ry, with insights into port­fo­lio man­age­ment, prof­it-tak­ing dilem­mas, and why ignor­ing sto­ries and focus­ing on num­bers is hard­er — and more valu­able — than it sounds. 

QAV AU 850 — Copper Fever

In this episode, Cameron and Tony sur­vey a mar­ket that’s los­ing some momen­tum in iron ore while rapid­ly piv­ot­ing toward cop­per as the next struc­tur­al com­mod­i­ty sto­ry. They unpack Fortescue’s move into Peru­vian cop­per, the impli­ca­tions of slow­ing Chi­nese infra­struc­ture invest­ment, and why AI data cen­tres are tur­bo-charg­ing cop­per demand glob­al­ly. The dis­cus­sion ranges from takeover bat­tles in West African gold, Buf­fett suc­ces­sion intrigue at Berk­shire Hath­away, and a sharp cri­tique of Aus­tralia’s com­pen­sa­tion schemes for failed invest­ment prod­ucts. The episode clos­es with a deep “pulled pork” analy­sis of Aeris Resources, explor­ing why cop­per-gold pro­duc­ers are back on the QAV buy list despite cap­i­­tal-rais­ing risks.
