Stock Analysis

Again we haven’t done much buy­ing for the Light port­fo­lios recent­ly, as it’s been tough to find any­thing to buy at the moment. 

BUY LIST

Each week we pro­duce a buy list based on our val­ue invest­ing sys­tem that we share with our QAV Club mem­bers. The intend­ed pri­ma­ry pur­pose of this buy list is for club mem­bers to use as a ref­er­ence for com­par­ing their own buy list. In the­o­ry, all of our buy lists should look pret­ty sim­i­lar each week.

As always, please check our work, DYOR, con­sult a finan­cial advi­sor before mak­ing any invest­ing deci­sions.

1. QAV AU SCORECARD 2025-03-31 — BOTH VERSIONS

Portfolios

TRIPLE MARKET

The AUS Dum­my Port­fo­lio was +0.17% in the last week, while the bench­mark was ‑1.24%, and we’re +15% pa for the FY (vs 5% pa for the bench­mark), which means we’re doing TRIPLE MARKET for the FY. No recent trad­ing has occurred.

The U.S. port­fo­lio was ‑8% this week and is +28% for the FY (vs +3.8% for the S&P500) — SEVEN TIMES MARKET.

LAST WEEK’S EPISODES

QAVAU #812 — ASA’s Chairman on Continuous Disclosure

In this episode of QAV, Cameron and Tony dive into the loom­ing macro­eco­nom­ic uncer­tain­ty dubbed “Peak Fear Day,” trig­gered by Trump’s upcom­ing tar­iff announcements—aka “Lib­er­a­tion Day”—and its poten­tial impact on Aus­tralian super funds heav­i­ly exposed to the U.S. mar­ket. They also break down FND’s recent $45 mil­lion cap­i­tal raise and the chaot­ic move­ments of its share price. Lat­er, they’re joined by Steven Mabb (Chair­man of the Aus­tralian Share­hold­ers Asso­ci­a­tion) for a robust dis­cus­sion on the state of con­tin­u­ous dis­clo­sure in ASX-list­ed com­pa­nies, ASIC’s role, and poten­tial reforms. The trio explores how share­hold­ers might regain trust and con­trol in a mar­ket they increas­ing­ly see as opaque and under-policed.

QAVUS #002 – Markets Like Certainty

In this episode of the QAV US Edi­tion, Cameron and Tony dive into the lat­est per­for­mance of the US port­fo­lio, which con­tin­ues to out­pace the S&P 500 with a stun­ning 70% return. They break down the impact of Trump’s errat­ic trade poli­cies on glob­al mar­kets, par­tic­u­lar­ly the ship­ping indus­try, and reflect on how uncer­tain­ty is roil­ing investor sen­ti­ment. Cameron does a “Pulled Pork” deep dive into Mex­i­can cement giant **Cemex (CX)** — a seg­ment that unex­pect­ed­ly trans­forms into a pas­sion­ate, triv­ia-filled mas­ter­class on the his­to­ry, chem­istry, and envi­ron­men­tal impact of cement. They also touch on stock per­for­mance, issues with Stock­o­pe­dia data accu­ra­cy, and the curi­ous case of eth­i­cal awards for com­pa­nies that belch CO₂.
