QAV S04E20 — Navexa
In the first half of this episode we’re joined by Navarre Trousselot & Thom Benny from Navexa, an online portfolio platform, who tell us a bit about the vision for their product and what they’ve seen investors doing lately. Then we talk about minimising brokerage fees, building a portfolio with lump sums, the 3PTL on VDGR, Tony’s latest thinking about commodity sell lines, how to deal with stocks that cross their sell line but are also at the top of the scorecard, and what’s going on with iron ore producers.

QAV S04E18 — The Trivia King
This week we recorded while I was staying with Tony down at Cape Schanck! We talked about the collapse of BPT, why ATL is our SOTW, the highlights of the Berkshire Hathaway 2021 AGM, the importance of price to cashflow in our checklist, Stock Doctor’s coverage of A2 Milk, why companies issue new shares at a steep discount, MML’s 3PTL buy line, gold miners and market cycles, why BOQ dropped off the buy list, and then I get Tony to tell the story about how he bought his Cape Schanck property 22 years ago using his winnings from winning trivia competitions on TV and radio. Finally, I passed the microphone around after our QAV Club dinner in Melbourne and asked the folks there to talk about what they have learned from the podcast.
