Quiet Contrarian. Ep64: Trades for Jan-Mar 2025

Just a big catch up post for the last few months. 2025 has been exciting, and painful. I haven’t seen many things that I have found particularly compelling, but that seems to be shifting a bit recently. Maybe more on that in coming months… Buys Civmec Ltd – CVL.ASX – Their Revenue was up, but profit down. The description they gave...

Quiet Contrarian. Ep60: Trades for September 2024

Buys Laserbond Ltd – LBL.ASX – The market has been a bit disenchanted with LBL lately as their profit dropped significantly despite growing revenue. However, some of this was due to a change in the accounting regulations and the statutory profit reported, and so I personally don’t believe it was as bad as it sounds. They are still a high quality...

Quiet Contrarian. Ep59: Trades for August 2024

Buys Acrow Ltd – ACF.ASX – Well run services company, and have been spruiked by Under the Radar, and the FNArena brokers for some time now. The market didn’t like the latest announcement, management has still guided for 20% revenue growth. They seem to have consistent earnings, and it feels like all the infrastructure spend will continue for a while longer....

Quiet Contrarian. Ep58: Trades for July 2024

But since then I have started to research, and am seeing building legitimacy in the use of MDMA and Psilocybin as mental health treatments. This may be a long long long hold, and a bit of a punt (derisked by...

Quiet Contrarian. Ep56: Trades for June 2024

Buys Quiet month, just rounding out the FY slowly. Cogstate Ltd – CGS.ASX – The Eli Lily drug has been having some effect in slowing progression, but hasn’t been as effective as people have hoped. Despite that I am still hopeful for treatments and interest in slowing/stopping Alzheimers. So I topped up a little bit of these guys. Lots of uncertainty,...
