Happy Monday, Light Brigade!
And a big welcome to all of our newest members.
Not much to report from my weekend. Lots of kung fu injuries. Chrissy twisted her ankle during sparring, and I got a badly bruised thumb, dislocated jaw and my broken nose got a nasty hit and I heard a crack. Seems okay, though. Just the usual. The pain reminds me that I’m still alive.
We watched this great Wim Wenders film “Perfect Days” on SBS.
Anyway, let’s get into the portfolio updates! We have stuff to sell today, but nothing much to buy yet.
All the best,
Cameron

PORTFOLIO UPDATE
In the last 30 days, the Light portfolio was ‑1.79% vs the index which was +0.41%.

Our most impressive return for the last 30 days is SXE (Southern Cross Electrical Engineering) which is +13%. But we’ve held it in two parcels since 2023.
SXE up 287%
Bought 30/8/2023 at $0.780 (+278%)
Bought 2/11/2023 at $0.820 (+260%)
Yet again, another reminder why we don’t sell stocks because they hit some arbitrary price. If they are good businesses, we hold them for as long as we can.
A QUADRUPLE MARKET YEAR
For the last 12 months, the Light portfolio is +37% vs the index +8.7%.

Since inception (Feb 2022), the Light portfolio is +20% vs the index +11%, double market, right on target (hey that rhymes!).

@qavinvesting What if everyone dumped US Treasuries at once? ChatGPT thinks it would hurt the sellers more than the US in the long run. #USTreasuries #Economics #ChatGPT #Finance #Investing

DISCLOSURE
Please review our trading and disclosure policy.
FOR NEW MEMBERS
If you’re new to QAV Light, here’s a quick reminder on how it works.
- We send you an email every Monday advising which stocks we are adding to our Light portfolio.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- If you come across any QAV terminology that you don’t understand (eg Rule 1, 3PTL, Possibles, etc), please review our terminology guide or just email us for clarification.
That’s it for today!
If we decide to buy or sell something, we’ll let you know.
