NDQ, FANG and IVV ETFs

by

The returns from NDQ, FANG & IVV over the past 5+ years have been excellent but they don’t feature in your ETF or Growth portfolios. Is there a reason for that? At what price would you consider these. Thanks

Australian Government Bonds

by

How do you pick Australian Government Bonds to invest in? For example GSBG27 4.75% at coupon interest rate till 24/4/27 is priced at $103.59 atm or GSBG37 3.75% at coupon interest rate till 21/4/37 is priced at $95.35 atm? Is GSBG37 priced below coupon value because of the very long maturity date?

Xero Ltd (XRO)

by

Hi James & Team
XRO has fallen to $173.81 this morning – below the SPP Price of $176. If you still held XRO would you be participating in the SPP? Would you go ahead and purchase the shares now ($2 below the SPP price?) or do you think the share price could continue to fall?
regards
Debbie

The recent call on Commonwealth Bank (CBA) in the Income portfolio

by

Hi MM team, I found your call to potentially sell CBA from the Income portfolio very interesting. Interesting because I sort of have a similar quandary regarding my holding of DBI. MM’s CBA investment pays a 7.7% dividend that is fully franked (div/entry price).
I have read and I think I understand the rhetoric about CBA and its lofty price but it’s a comfortable cashcow. Please can you explain why MM is looking to potentially sell. Does MM have a replacement investment of similar ilk in mind (income and risk)?
Or is it just a funding vehicle for the next buy?
Thanks and regards, JanP

Alkane Resources Ltd (ALK)

by

I am a long term holder of Alkane and it has been a bit of a ride although I have managed some alpha to keep ahead. The latest merger proposal seems to have some logic to create a more liquid and potentially more attractive target, but I am wondering why Mandalay sees this as an opportunity. My conspiracy theory misgivings is that it may make a way for the tightly held shareholders to liquidate their positions. Am I overthinking this. I always value your opinion so interested for your take on the pros and cons of this merger for the ALK share price.

Monash IVF (MVF)

by

Dear MM,
I noted you are buying Helia Group, HLI, for the active income portfolio after its recent drop in price. I was wondering what you thought of Monash IVF, MVF, as an option for this portfolio or as a high risk/reward opportunity. There may be similarities to HLI. Good dividend, possible SP recovery, and a reasonable response (?) to their second mistake. Hopefully they don’t come in threes! Best regards
Mark
