QAV AU 835 — Rule 34 Of ETFs

In this episode, Cameron and Tony dive into what’s being called the most volatile report­ing sea­son on record. They explore out­sized mar­ket reac­tions, con­tin­u­ous dis­clo­sure fail­ures, and whether sell trig­gers should be han­dled dif­fer­ent­ly dur­ing earn­ings sea­son. The duo com­pare the strong per­for­mance of their Aus­tralian and US dum­my port­fo­lios, both up around 12% in 30 days—far ahead of their respec­tive index­es. They also weigh in on Trump’s tar­iffs being struck down in US courts, the Shang­hai Coop­er­a­tion Organ­i­sa­tion sum­mit, and whether Amer­i­ca is slid­ing towards author­i­tar­i­an­ism. On the invest­ing front, they cov­er results for Qan­tas and Motor­cy­cle Hold­ings, Tony does a pulled pork on Tyro Pay­ments as a sur­pris­ing new fin­tech on the buy list, and answer lis­ten­er ques­tions about strange trad­ing behav­iour, class action law­suits, and the risks of gold min­ers in West Africa.

QAV AU 834 — From Chickens to CSL: A Reporting Season Reality Check

In this week’s episode of **QAV Aus­tralia (Ep. 834)**, Tony is back from his week off on the Mur­ray, and he and Cameron dive into a wide-rang­ing dis­cus­sion of report­ing sea­son results, port­fo­lio per­for­mance, and lessons from both win­ners and losers on the ASX. They cov­er every­thing from Super Retail Group’s recent surge to the ongo­ing woes of Ingham’s, and ask whether CSL is still the “great Aussie stock” it’s made out to be. Cameron revis­its the so-called “Pulled Pork curse,” reveal­ing the true track record of Tony’s stock deep-dives. They also debate whether new met­rics like gross prof­itabil­i­ty or com­pa­ny buy­backs should be added to the QAV check­list, and trou­bleshoot the dread­ed Excel “out of resources” error. Final­ly, Tony presents a Pulled Pork on MA Finan­cial (MAF), a fast-grow­ing diver­si­fied finan­cial group, before the con­ver­sa­tion drifts into music leg­ends, AI research, and whether Kei­th Moon was the most enter­tain­ing drum­mer of all time.
