My guest this week is James Gruber, editor of Firstlinks and a veteran of Asian markets with a background in journalism and funds management. We dive into his contrarian views on dividend stocks and gold's role in portfolios. Our discussion stems from James's article "Why I Dislike Dividend Stocks." He drew from David Gardner of Motley Fool, who achieved seven 100-baggers—stocks returning 100 times or more. Gardner held Amazon from 1997 and Nvidia from 2005, both up over 1,000 times.

Investing can often feel like a daunting task with the myriad of options and strategies available. However, the latest episode of our podcast featuring Steve Mabb, Chair of the Australian Shareholders' Association (ASA), sheds light on how you can leverage the power of collective knowledge to boost your investment game.

The Australian Shareholders Association has been a stalwart advocate for retail and small shareholders for over 60 years. Steve explains that the association's mission is to protect the rights of individual investors and create a better investment environment. This is achieved through a combination of advocacy and education. The ASA's recent merger with the Australian Investors' Association has further strengthened its position, making it a more formidable force in representing shareholders' interests.

In this episode I'm joined by special guest, Laks Ganapathi, founder and CEO of Unicus Research. In this candid conversation, we delve into the often-misunderstood world of short selling and its impact on the stock market. We also look at some recent investing themes like ESG and craft beer to see where hype and optimism has led to poor investment returns.

Laks sheds light on the misconceptions surrounding short sellers. She acknowledges that some short sellers may contribute to a negative image by pumping stocks for profit, but she emphasizes that this isn't representative of all short sellers. The conversation touches on the ethical concerns of short selling and the need for transparency in financial markets. The discussion turned to this article ESG – A Good Deed With An Incentive To Scam | IFC Re... (ifcreview.com).

Ever been blindsided by a takeover offer and felt lost in a sea of unfamiliar takeover jargon? In this episode, we dive deep into the murky waters of mergers acquisitions and takeovers and the impact on shareholders with the return of Tony Kynaston from QAV investing. Tony sheds light on what it really means when a company catches the eye of potential buyers and how small investors can navigate their decisions.

In a world of fluctuating markets and economic volatility, one asset has stood the test of time as a beacon of stability: gold. In the latest episode of our podcast, we had the pleasure of speaking with Jordan Eliseo, the general manager of ABC Bullion Australia, who brought over 25 years of experience in financial markets to our discussion on the enduring value of gold. Jordan provided a wealth of knowledge about gold's role as a hedge against inflation and its unique position within a diversified investment portfolio. Despite the absence of income in the form of dividends, gold's solid capital growth, liquidity, and capacity to protect wealth during market downturns makes it an attractive asset for investors.

In this episode I chat with Michael Kemp, author of three investment books—Creating Real Wealth, Uncommon Sense, and The Ulysses Contract. Our conversation was inspired by Michael’s presentation at the 2025 Australian Shareholders Association conference, diving deeply into the quirks of human psychology and how they shape our investing decisions. Our brains are wired for survival in a prehistoric world, often leading us astray in modern financial markets. Michael pointed out that our ancestors needed to make snap judgments to avoid becoming a predator’s lunch. This instinct to form quick beliefs based on minimal evidence was life-saving back then but can be disastrous for investors today.

In a market rife with complexity and unpredictability, how do you carve out a path to consistent profitability by managing risk and securing gains? Fadi Diab, is known as The Gladiator on X (FKA Twitter). He's a seasoned microcap investor who's mastered the art of risk management over profit-chasing. Fadi shares his journey from a beginner who blew up his account twice to a savvy investor who now focuses on the potential for significant wins while minimizing losses.

Fadi's philosophy pivots on four questions:

1. Why am I entering?
2. How much money will I make if things go according to plan?
3. How much will I lose if they don't?
4. What factors will determine when I should sell?

What does an epic poem written around 700BC tell us about investing? How are investors tempted to steer their money onto the rocks of investing underperformance? My guest is Michael Kemp, author of The Ulysses Contract.

There's plenty of great lessons in this interview & much more in the book. There's a lot to avoid but as Michael says:

"I don't believe you need to become a champion to become a really good investor. Market returns are fantastic returns as long as you achieve them. Don't try and shoot for the stars cuz you're probably full flat on your face. But if you accept that you're gonna be delivered market returns and you are patient, then market returns can be spectacular returns given the power of compounding."

Happy New Year! Welcome to the first Weekend Watchlist of 2024. At the beginning of each year Stockopedia publishes their No-Admin Portfolio System (NAPS) portfolio. Chris Batchelor and I discuss construction of this model, how it performed last year, and a couple of the stocks that have been included - Kina Securities (ASX:KSL) and Ricegrowers (ASX:SGLLV).

"To ensure a well diversified portfolio we select two stocks from each of the broad economic sectors as identified by Stockopedia. We select the two highest StockRank™ from each sector and add it to the portfolio. That’s it!

However in order to ensure that our Australasian NAPS portfolio’s diversification reflects that of the Australasian market, we have included a separate sector, Real Estate in acknowledgement of its size and contribution.

Further, given their smaller size we have only selected one stock from each of the Telecoms and Utilities sectors. In total the portfolio has 20 stocks spread across a diverse range of economic sectors and all with high ranking StockRank™ (QVM) scores.

Please don’t view the NAPS portfolio as a tip sheet. It is constructed using a simple rules-based approach with only minimal discretion. It is purely for the purposes of education only and does not reflect an actual portfolio."

G’day, I hope you’re enjoying your summer break. The next couple of weeks will be repeats while I recharge for the investing year in 2024. This episode is from December 2022 and it’s with Ed Croft the founder of Stockopedia. You may have heard Elio and Chris in my Weekend Watchlist segments. They’re now running the Aussie version of Stockopedia and this is the origin story. I hope 2024 shines brightly on your portfolio.
