QAV S05E10 — The Wet Finger Test

This week we cov­er the Iran oil sanc­tions waiv­er and what it means for the oil price, plus debrief on sell­ing our oil stocks (Karoon, Viva Ener­gy, Brook­side) ahead of what turned out to be a nasty drop. Tony does a Pulled Pork on ASX-list­ed labour hire and train­ing firm Ash­ley Ser­vices Group (ASH), a thin­ly trad­ed turn­around sto­ry with a strong own­er-founder and a QAV score of 0.24. We also note the pass­ing of Alan Greenspan, the Cred­it Corp / Humm deal falling apart, and end-of-finan­­cial-year port­fo­lio num­bers that have the dum­my port­fo­lio well ahead of the index.

On this week’s show, we wade through a big news cycle: the US-Iran peace deal that forced us to dump our oil stocks, the SpaceX IPO trad­ing at a jaw-drop­ping 1,750 times PROPCAF while los­ing mon­ey, and the brief Kore­an stock mar­ket cir­cuit break­er that felt a lit­tle too dot­­com-era for com­fort. Tony does a Pulled Pork on Sun­corp Group, fresh­ly returned to the buy list after divest­ing its bank­ing arm to ANZ, and I run the num­bers on the Dogs of the Dow ver­sus QAV over five years.
