QAV Investing Podcast (Free Edition)

Chris Tate from Talking Trading and The Trading Game joins us today to talk about his approach to investing, futures trading and turtle trading. Then we answer some listener questions about whether or not the market has priced in the coming economic carnage.

How are Australia's two million small businesses coping with the lockdown? Is the government stimulus helping? What will happen to them on the other side of the crisis? To help us get our heads around these questions, we're joined today by Kane Kelfkens, owner of The Family Jewels, a jewellery business with several outlets in Sydney. Then we answer some of your investing questions, about dollar co...

Mark Jones is an old friend of Cameron's, CEO of Sydney PR and marketing firm Filtered Media, and author of the new book about corporate storytelling, "Beliefonomics". Tony and Cameron caught up with him in Sydney recently for a chat.

Tony walks us through his decision to buy some STO shares last week (as per the email we sent to QAV Club members on Friday). Tony then answers some member questions about Stanmore Coal, how listed investment vehicles lend themselves to QAV analysis, the KMT rights issue, and Roger Montgomery’s recent article.

Part 3 of our rebooted getting started podcasts. This picks up where episode 303 left off, halfway through the QAV checklist.

Tony thinks the market is going through the "five stages of grief" and we debate which stage we are up to. He also talks about the "Coppock Curve" which suggests markets, like people, go through periods of mourning. Then we answer some of your questions about: the best way to set up a profile to trade, comparing full-service brokers to low-cost DIY options, how to treat companies with negative “ne...

Part 2 of our "getting started" reboot. In this episode we get into the nitty-gritty of the checklist and the data sources we use.

Back to answering your questions today, including topics about leveraging your portfolio, replacing Stock Doctor with another data source, banning short-selling, investing in REITs, how to prioritise the watch list, and just generally when to buy back in. Tony's basic approach right now is to "wash your hands - and then sit on 'em."

As it's been a year since we recorded our "introduction to QAV" episodes, a couple of our listeners suggested it would be a good idea to re-record them, now that we're much smoother on the mic. So we present - QAV Reboot. We introduce ourselves and the QAV system of investing in shares.

While Friday brought a dead cat bounce, Tony thinks the correction is just getting started. He says we're yet to see the impact of the coming credit crunch. We answer a question about whether or not Tony invests for the purpose of living off the dividend income, and in our club edition we analyse Macmahon Holdings (MAH) just for practice. As I say - NOW is the time to send yourself to QAV Universi...

Tons of questions this week from club members about how to invest during a market correction. And as the market is still in free fall, we don't bother with a stock analysis. So we just spend 90 minutes answering your excellent questions.

“Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” - Warren Buffett Yes, the market is in freefall - but that's great for disciplined value investors. As Tony explains on this week's episode, large market downturns happen once every five-seven years, and it's in the rebounds that the best investors make big moves. He talks more about how he uses the three point trend line duri...

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.

And then, we watch in amusement as the ASK dives while we are recording the episode and Tony explains why, as a value in...

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...

It's an interesting one because we couldn't use our usual to...

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...

We have our first QAV Club subscriber guest - Murray Bruce from Bruce Insurance in Perth, one of our first subscribers. He asks Tony a question about whether or not he is comfortable purchasing any share that rates well, or does he do additional research on the company before making a buy.

This week we talk about why our portfolio outperformed the index by 1300%, the wisdom of Peter Lynch, why Howard Marks wants to stay in the middle, and our stock analysis of the week is Universal Coal.

Tony talks about rights issues and some of the complexities involved in knowing whether to take them up or not. I know, right? Sounds boring! It wasn't actually, I learned a lot.
