Sells Webjet Ltd – WEB.ASX – Some positivity around reopening has caused this to rise....

Quiet Contrarian. Ep28: Trades for March 2022

Buys Magellan Financial Group – MFG.ASX – Well, this is a nerve-wracking buy. Decided to go all in and double down on the latest dip to get more options. May be a very bad idea, trying to be brave while everyone else is fearful. Though I’m aware that this may just be catching a falling knife. Time will tell. Trust in...

Quiet Contrarian. Ep27: Trades for February 2022

Buys CSL LTD – CSL.ASX – The capital raising didn’t give me many shares. So I topped up. Currently sits at about 2% of my portfolio. Investment thesis is largely: Legendary company that continuously manages to find growth, has been hurt a bit through Covid, this should turnaround with the world reopening.

Quiet Contrarian. Ep 26: Trades for January 2022.

Well that was a brutal start to the new year. The ASX200 is back in negative territory for the financial year, my down about 15% from where it was. Though it is currently bouncing back a bit.

Think they could grow, and develop the business to be the go to place for small local jobs (as opposed to online jobs (Fiverr) and larger jobs (HiPages)). Watched some talks and I liked how...

Quiet Contrarian. Ep 23: Trades for November 2021.

Quiet month, largely just continuing the consolidation of my portfolio, the selling down of reopening trades got derailed a bit with the omicron scare. Buys No buys this month. Sells Altium LTD – ALU.ASX – I bought these guys in the early part of the covid drop. Just a small amount as they were still really quite overpriced. I always felt...

Quiet Contrarian. Ep 22: Trades for October 2021.

Another busy month, we’re getting close to reopening, with vaccines hitting the magical 80% target and the states setting roadmaps for reopening. I’m starting to get out of things that are linked to reopening, and I think are already overvalued. Buys No buys this month. Sells Shaver Shop Group – SSG.ASX – I initially bought these guys on a recent dip,...
