Dear MM,
Many thanks for all your excellent advice and information. I was hoping to get your thoughts on VYS, which you last covered about 18 months ago, when it was too small. I was also going to ask about oOh!Media, but given this week’s developments, I’ll change track and ask about your thoughts on a non-profitable company, EBR. Best regards, Mark
To The MM team,
Great work guys, keep up the amazing content.
Not looking for personal advice more a matter of strategy and philosophy.
You run multiple portfolios across different themes (Growth, Income, Small Cap and International). Us mere mortals have our equities bundled into a single portfolio where we cherry pick ideas from different styles.
So my question, with the forecast US returns (and Tech in particular) likely to outpace the ASX, how would you deal with underperforming Aussie shares. In particular: AMC and MGR. No doubt they will recover, but with a 12-18 month horizon it seems to me it could be better to cut and run then redeploy the cash into a hedged US ETF’s.
Any comments would be appreciated.

Good afternoon Market Matters,

What is your take on Horizon Oil? A very small oil focussed company that owns part of a number of oil producing assets that delivers net profit to the company that is distributed back to shareholders with approx. a 10% unfranked yield. As it is not the operator of any of the wells it has far more limited capex and ongoing general expenses. Currently in takeover mode with CUE which also has part ownership in some of the same oil assets with HZN As mostly a scrip price for CUE, it essentially increases the size and exposure of HZN in each of the oil assets in lockstep with increase in its shares on issue. Seems a lower risk approach to having oil exposure whilst receiving a very solid dividend to balance the vagaries of spot oil prices.
Thanks David
I’ve just signed up for another 3 years – love your service. I’ve made some good profits so far this year but it’s time to do my ‘tidy up’ of investments before end of financial year. I’ve been through your website and assessed all the laggards in my portfolio, ready for selling before June. I have assumed that any marked Active in your portfolios are at least holds.
With that in mind, I was hoping to get your views on prioritising the following stocks. My problem children are CAR, CSL, HLS, NXT, RDY (It still says active but I think you have turned negative on this), SHL, TWE and ZG:US
I have a fairly long term view so don’t mind holding if there is good potential to recover well and provide a respectable annualised % return in the next 5+ years. PLS was a great example where your advice encouraged me to hold at a loss for quite a while and I only recently sold out for an excellent return.
