This week Tony’s back from the horse sales and dives straight into a Pulled Pork on WEB Trav­el Group, the B2B hotel bed-bank­ing busi­ness spun out of the old Web­jet. We also cov­er neg­a­tive gear­ing changes and how they com­pare to what Paul Keat­ing tried in the late 1980s, plus a lis­ten­er ques­tion on Serv­cor­p’s recent price wob­ble, port­fo­lio com­par­i­son notes from lis­ten­er Toby, and the usu­al after-hours chat cov­er­ing Top­golf, Bugo­nia, Spi­der Noir, and the eter­nal genius of Steve Austin run­ning in slow motion.

On this episode Cameron flies solo while Tony is down the Gold Coast doing some­thing involv­ing hors­es. He cov­ers the mar­ket fall­out from Trump’s sur­prise bomb­ing of Iran, explains why he’s hit­ting pause on new buys through con­fes­sion sea­son, and does a Pulled Pork on Big Riv­er Indus­tries (BRI), a 120-year-old tim­ber and build­ing mate­ri­als com­pa­ny that is qui­et­ly turn­ing itself around. There’s also a defence of val­ue invest­ing as an all-weath­­er strat­e­gy, prompt­ed by a VanEck opin­ion piece in the AFR.
