​Steven Mabb is our guest on the show today. He’s a recent QAV Club sub­scriber but has been a full time investor for the last cou­ple of years, since exit­ing a very suc­cess­ful footwear business.He and Tony com­pare notes about invest­ing in Inter­na­tion­al ETFs, why buy­ing stock #201 is a good strat­e­gy, neobanks, share­hold­er asso­ci­a­tions, and cheap bro­ker­age ver­sus using a full ser­vice broker.In our Club edi­tion, our stock of the week is BPT (again). And we answer a ques­tion from Ange about what qual­i­fies as a ‘recent pos­i­tive upturn’. We also talk again about the decline of our port­fo­lio in recent weeks due to the COVID-19 pan­ic. Tony reminds us about War­ren Buf­fet­t’s sto­ry about “Mr Mar­ket”.

S01E44 — Bravo Hertz

by | Jan 2, 2020 | Interviews, Investing Podcast, Podcast Episodes

Our guest this week is lis­ten­er Andre Bra­vo, a Cana­di­an who has a Mas­ters in Applied Com­pu­ta­tion­al Eco­nom­ics and works in the weed indus­try. Oh NOW I have your atten­tion! Andre joined us this week to talk about the app he has writ­ten to speed up his own QAV analy­sis, and then we get his help to analyse our first US stock — Hertz (HTZ.N). It’s an inter­est­ing one because we could­n’t use our usu­al tools and had to resort to pulling up num­bers man­u­al­ly. The basic les­son is that the check­list can be used to analyse US stocks. Andre also asks a few real­ly great ques­tions about how Tony uses the check­list and gave a refresh­er course how on to sim­u­late Stock Doc­tor’s finan­cial strength rat­ing using oth­er sources of data. Thanks for all of your sup­port this year! We hope you learned a lot and are feel­ing more con­fi­dent in your abil­i­ty to analyse stocks. We’ll be back next week with Sea­son Two of our invest­ing pod­cast!

by | Dec 27, 2019 | Interviews, Investing Podcast, Podcast Episodes

On this episode:

We have our sec­ond QAV Club sub­scriber guest, Paul, a crim­i­nal lawyer from Syd­ney, who calls him­self “a dis­as­trous investor”. 
Paul asked Tony a bunch of great ques­tions about the check­list, includ­ing drilling down on why Tony does­n’t try to under­stand a busi­ness deeply before he invests in it (like War­ren Buf­fett and Peter Lynch), and about under­stand­ing how to fac­tor in short­ing.

Cameron reads out some quotes from “Win­ning The Loser’s Game” by Charles D Ellis and gets Tony’s com­ments on them.

Our stock deep dive of the week is MRC — Min­er­al Com­modi­ties.

QAV S01E23 — Beware The Black Swan

by | Aug 8, 2019 | Interviews, Investing Podcast, Podcast Episodes

Today our guest is Roger Mont­gomery from Mont­gomery Invest­ment Man­age­ment to talk about his approach to val­ue invest­ing and what he thinks is going on with the Aus­tralian mar­ket and econ­o­my at the moment. Lots of great insights in this one, from the eco­nom­ics of enough, to black swans and what hap­pens when the fear of miss­ing out becomes larg­er than the fear of loss.

For our pre­mi­um sub­scribers, Tony then analy­ses our com­pa­ny of the week, Cred­it Corp Group (CCP), who does pret­ty well on the check­list.
