Quiet Contrarian. Ep54: Trades for April 2024

Sorry for not posting in March. I didn’t make any trades, and have been going through one of those patches where life just hurls things at you. Things have settled a bit and I should be back on schedule. Still not much action this month, but I made one trade. Sells IGO Ltd – IGO.ASX – They have been punished in...

Quiet Contrarian. Ep53: Trades for February 2024

Buys Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals Ltd – CUV.ASX – Continuing to increase my position. Revenue growth is slowing as they reach the end of the growth trajectory for the initial use for the drug (EPP treatment, rare condition, orphan drug status). They are currently seeking new uses for Scenesse to treat 5 other conditions, and have increased operational costs to do this. On...

Quiet Contrarian. Ep52: Trades for January 2024

Buys Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals Ltd – CUV.ASX – They have a drug to treat severe phototoxicity (Scenesse), to my understanding they basically have a monopoly position in the market; and they are looking for new opportunities to increase sales by applying the drug to the treatment of other conditions (e.g. vitiligo). I bought on recent price weakness, which I think will be...

Quiet Contrarian. Ep 51: Half Year Portfolio Update 2024

Portfolio Performance I was surprised by the result. I felt like I’d been doing badly, but overall the portfolio has done well again, though it is split by region. In Australia (and overall) I have outperformed my benchmarks by ~8-10%, whilst in the US I underperformed by ~1%. Here’s a bit of background on the Benchmarks I’ve been using: I...

Quiet Contrarian. Ep50: Trades for November 2023

Buys Reckon Ltd – RKN.ASX – Continuing to add to this position. I have a bit of concern, when taking a bit of a chartist look, I noted that they tend to drop in price after the Feb announcement. Not sure if this is due to previous structure of the business model, or something else. I have faith in their quality...

Quiet Contrarian. Ep49: Trades for October 2023

Been a busy month. Starting to see some value reappearing in the market, and have been interested in some of the healthcare rout that seems to be ongoing. Buys Reckon Ltd – RKN.ASX – High quality company, lots of muddy waters due to the recent sale of their accounting division, a major part of their business, but despite all this, the...

Quiet Contrarian. Ep48: Trades for September 2023

Sells DDH Drill – DDH.ASX – These guys had hit the point I wanted to sell them, but then their share price took a dive based on the PRN merger. I got out on the last day possible, when the price strangely spiked and hit my target. Not a great result, but still profitable and I didn’t like the look of...

Quiet Contrarian. Ep47: Trades for August 2023

Buys Neometals Ltd – NMT.ASX – They recycle batteries and produce battery metals. Business model is to get multiple revenue streams through recycling batteries themselves, partnering with companies to recycle the batteries, or receive royalites from companies that want their tech to do it themselves. CEO seems like a straight shooter, and from what I’ve seen and they seem very well...
