QAVUS 002 — Markets Like Certainty
In this episode of the QAV US Edition, Cameron and Tony dive into the latest performance of the US portfolio, which continues to outpace the S&P 500 with a stunning 70% return.

They also touch on stock performance, issues with Stockopedia data accuracy, and the curious case of ethical awards for companies that belch CO₂.
