QAV AU 825 — Bombs, Billboards & Bargain Buys

by Cameron Reilly | Jun 25, 2025 | Australia, Blog, Investing Podcast, Podcast Episodes

It’s cold, the mar­kets are weird, and the boys are back. Cameron and Tony kick things off with oil-patch whiplash, Iran–Israel the­atre, and Trump’s “Mis­sion Accom­plished 2.0” tweet-storms. Port­fo­lio num­bers, con­fes­sion-sea­son land-mines, and sud­den 30 % face-plants (look­ing at you, **AMI**) fol­low. Tony spot­lights sur­prise win­ners (**OML**, **SHA**, **SRG**, **GNG**) and takeover bait (**STO**, **THL**), while ASX cops an ASIC probe for drop­ping the tech ball. Virgin’s sec­ond-shot IPO, Karoon’s Brazil­ian land-grab, and a pulled-pork deep dive on **COG** round out the finance. After hours: jazz-piano Gold­blum, Kelly’s Heroes, and Peter Ellyard’s octo­ge­nar­i­an opti­mism.
