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.

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!

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. Out­side of that, Tony and I also talk about our dum­my port­fo­lio, which made it back into the black, and some excel for­mu­la errors we’ve picked up recent­ly in the check­list.

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.
