Hello QAV Light Brigade

It’s Monday and this is my weekly report. Welcome to our new subscribers!

The AORD recovered last week, and the AFR is predicting it will “inch up” today, but everyone’s waiting to see what the RBA does about interest rates tomorrow. 

 

PORTFOLIO UPDATES

As it’s the start of the month, let’s take a look at how our Light portfolios are performing.

As a group, our portfolios are down an average of -2% CAGR pa versus the benchmark which is up an average of +2%.

It’s sitting on about 9% cash, which has been hard to invest in recent weeks.

ANZ BPT EHE FHE FPR GRR KAR PRU QBE RMS SSM SUL VEA VUK WAM WDS WGX

Please note that our personal holdings might not include the stocks we recommend in QAV Light. This is because we already have full portfolios (15-20 stocks) and can only add new stocks if we have to sell something.

FOR NEW MEMBERS

If you’re new to QAV Light, here’s a quick reminder on how it works.

    1. We send you an email every Monday advising which stocks we are adding to our Light portfolio.
    2. You can copy our trades, but please remember to review our Trading Guidelines to understand which cap you should be looking at and other important considerations. And consult a financial planner before making any decisions.
    3. We don’t recommend that you add stocks which are already in our portfolio. Their position on our buy list might have changed since we recommended them. Just start with the stocks recommended after you become a member.
    4. If one of the stocks we add breaches one of our sell conditions, we will sell it from our portfolio and you’ll get an email advising of the trade. Again, you can copy our trades, but seek financial advice before making any decisions. And please check your Rule #1 price (see Trading Guidelines).
    5. If you have any questions about our terminology (eg “3PTL”, “Rule 1”, “Possibles”, etc), please first refer to our QAV Terminology page, and if you have further questions, just email Cameron.

     

    That’s it for today!

    If we decide to buy or sell something, we’ll let you know.
