Quiet Contrarian. Ep46: Trades for July 2023

Sells Airtasker Ltd – ART.ASX – I talked about this last month, continuing to sell down. Kina Securities Ltd – KSL.ASX – There is so much going on in these guys that is good, then there are alot of geopolitical and regulatory risks I’m pretty sure I don’t understand. They have an AMAZING dividend, at ~14%, but they have also been stopped...

Quiet Contrarian. Ep 45: FY23 Reflection

Overall update – Story of the year FY23 was looking like a pretty similar tale of two halves, to FY22. Though this time I timed it a bit better. Taking out profit at market peaks near December, though I’m not sure it was quite as successful as last year, as the second half was still nett positive, definitely won a...

Quiet Contrarian. Ep44: Trades for June 2023

Sells Airtasker Ltd – ART.ASX – This was a tough one. I still believe in their offering, and they were forecasting 58% revenue growth next year. But the market didn’t like it, with them having bled out 50% or so in the last year. Unsure of how dilution and revenue growth combined to give a reasonable valuation. Decided that maybe getting...

Quiet Contrarian. Ep43: Trades for May 2023

Sells Aeris Resources Ltd – AIS.ASX – Chose to clear out my holding for a trifecta of reasons: 1. They revised down their guidance for the year, dropping production estimates by 12-20% due to technical issues in one of their mines. 2. Copper price has been weakening since the beginning of the year. 3. Trying to improve my portfolio management and...

Quiet Contrarian. Ep42: Trades for April 2023

Sells Kalium Lakes Ltd – KLL.ASX – They have repeatedly failed to meet targets since the last update. Their update this month had them producing 1.7kt of SOP, which is a loooooong way from their 60ktpa target. They pushed the target back a month. I don’t believe they can achieve this, even if they have set a new “inched out” target....

Buys Aeris Resources Ltd – AIS.ASX – A mining and exploration company involved in the production and sale of primarily copper, with a little bit of gold, and silver, as well as the exploration for copper and gold.

Quiet Contrarian. Ep39: Trades for January 2023

Continuing to sell as the market rallies. The narrative seems to have become one of bullishness, I am not sure I believe it… Sells Appen Ltd – APX.ASX – Got out on recent price strength, these guys have been bleeding out for a while now. Time to let them go. Nick Scali Ltd – NCK.ASX– Sold down to a 1.5% position,...
