Happy Monday, Light Brigade!
And a big welcome to all of our newest members.
Well… not much going on in the world that could affect the stock market. Just… missiles all over the Middle East. The Strait of Hormuz is closed again. Should be interesting to see what that does to the price of crude oil this week. Anyway, as always, we just keep following our QAV system.
In other news, we are finally out of reporting season, so we should have more buying options this month.
Let’s see what’s going on.
All the best,
Cameron

PORTFOLIO UPDATE
In the last 30 days, the Light portfolio was +1.5% vs the index which was +4%.
Our best return for the last 30 days is Toowoomba-based Wagners Holding Company Limited (WGN), a construction materials and services provider. It’s up 29% in the last month. The market really liked their FY25 Results.
We bought it 23/12/2024 at $1.39 and it’s now trading at $4.64, so it’s up +234%. A double bagger.
What a pretty chart.

QAV OUTPERFORMS THE MARKET
For the last 12 months, the Light portfolio is +41% vs the index +16%, which makes us roughly 2.5x.

Since inception (Feb 2022), the Light portfolio is +22% vs the index +12%, roughly double market, right where we should be.

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.
