QAV S02E08 Tony’s Mankini

Feb 24, 2020 | ,

Tony talks about the UNV offer and why we sold it last week and CSV’s recent acqui­si­tion, which took it out of our port­fo­lio. To answer a ques­tion from QAV Club mem­ber Nick B, we also talk more about when and why Tony will exit a stock. Our Stock Of The Week is AQG, Alac­er Gold. And then, we watch in amuse­ment as the ASK dives while we are record­ing the episode and Tony explains why, as a val­ue investor, he wor­ries more about his golf swing than he does and ups and downs of “Mr Mar­ket”.

I attend­ed my first meet­ing of the Bris­bane chap­ter of the Aus­tralian Share­hold­ers Asso­ci­a­tion today and heard a fas­ci­nat­ing talk by Karen McLeod from Eth­i­cal Invest­ment Advis­ers. Her pre­sen­ta­tion was most­ly mak­ing the case that investors can and should look for…

Feb 5, 2020 |

The recent ASX down­turn has made me think of the inter­view we did with Roger Mont­gomery last year where he pre­dict­ed that the next down­turn would be caused by a “black swan”, some­thing you nev­er expect and there­fore can’t pre­dict. You can only pre­dict that a black…
