Season 1, Episode 44

 Bravo Hertz

Our last show of 2019! Our guest this week is lis­ten­er Andre Bra­vo, a Cana­di­an who has a Mas­ters in Applied Com­pu­ta­tion­al Eco­nom­ics and works in the weed indus­try. Oh NOW I have your atten­tion! Andre joined us this week to talk about the app he has writ­ten to speed up his own QAV analy­sis, and then we get his help to analyse our first US stock — Hertz (HTZ.N). It’s an inter­est­ing one because we could­n’t use our usu­al tools and had to resort to pulling up num­bers man­u­al­ly. The basic les­son is that the check­list can be used to analyse US stocks. Andre also asks a few real­ly great ques­tions about how Tony uses the check­list and gave a refresh­er course how on to sim­u­late Stock Doc­tor’s finan­cial strength rat­ing using oth­er sources of data.

Mean­while our port­fo­lio fin­ished the cal­en­dar year well.

Thanks for all of your sup­port this year! We hope you learned a lot and are feel­ing more con­fi­dent in your abil­i­ty to analyse stocks. We’ll be back next week with Sea­son Two of our invest­ing pod­cast!!

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.
