QAV S03E30 — Share Shaming
On this episode we talk about why we are not trying to compete with APT investors; Tony’s recent stock buys and analysis; how he uses his “watch list” and why we’ve changed its name to the “buy list”; we we’re still manually calculating the price-to-cash ratio instead of using Stock Doctor’s figure; improved wording on how to draw a three point trend SELL line; and why sometimes a stock with great numbers might have a falling knife.

I originally set an SDmax bullish crossover for COG which has now been triggered, however, the price hasn’t reached a 3PTL buy yet, so I have amended the SD alert to be a price above $0.081.

Please note: Angelia picked up yet more errors in columns BK and BJ of v3.8 of the TK checklist that I posted yesterday, so I’ve fixed those (I hope). Please download the latest version. I really need to hire an Excel guru to review each version of the sheet!

Another TK Checklist update: Angela advised us that the new formula Tony sent through for column BK yesterday still had problems. The new formula is: =IF(AND(L204=””,M204=“”),””,IF(AND(M204>0,M204<100),1,IF(M204>100,0,IF(AND(L204>0,L204<100),1,0))))…

Tony’s stock broker of 25+ years, Alex Hay, a partner at broking firm EL&C Baillieu, joins us again today to talk about the different kinds of buy & sell orders and how to use them.

QAV S03E27 — LEVERAGE
We run the checklist over SFR, review Tony’s recent journal entries, and then answer your questions about capital gains tax, share consolidations, 3PTL lines, why TK was buying BPT, OFX’s cash situation, forsaking profit by waiting for sell line breaches, leveraging your home to buy shares, how the “Manually entered scores” tab works on the checklist, and whether or not TK has seen better/worse/same returns when his allocations allowed him to buy small/micro caps. We also review the EOFY positions for our dummy portfolio and TK’s portfolio.
