In this week’s show
00:15 – Q1: I bought ALX shares via my industry super fund. I’ve just received notification that the cut off date for me to participate in the takeover is 4/6/26 My understanding is as they are held in a trust account, the effective date for corporate actions is often at least a week earlier than a private share holder. I’ve still got 10 days but I imagine that unless something significant happens between now and the 4th that I should vote For?
03:01 – Q2: I am not sure if JBH is still in one of the rivkin portfolios but I’ve held it for a long time, current position up about fifteen percent from entry; having sold half of the entry position last year when it was up 70%. Obviously it is not a good market for retail consumer discretionary stocks at the moment, but I’m wondering if that might make it a good time to increase my JBH holding? Or is it still relatively expensive (in comparison to other similarly-risked opportunities) in your opinion?
06:05 – Q3: Last week on the show you spoke a lot about how it’s a really poor and ugly market at the moment. My immediate thought was that this is mainly due to Trumps war on Iran, however… I’d like to ask you what you think will be the most important factors that will turn this negative environment around? Inflation? The war in Iran? Oil prices? Or maybe a bit of a move away from the world’s fascination with investing in AI? What do you think the factors will be?
10:16 – Q4: The recent chip-related stock run up is very strong. Fur example, Micron. I am now happy with the gain. But, if it’s a bubble, what’s the canary in the coal mine I should watch out for so I can sell before it’s too late? As part of your US growth momentum such as WDC, Seagate and AMD have been so overvalued due to the strong run. How much risk do you see if one were to get in now?
12:25 – Q5: How is Life360 going? There have been mixed reports about its latest quarterly revenue update, with critics citing poor Monthly Active Users numbers, Macquarie being particularly negative. I’ve just bought in at what I feel is a relatively good entry in the low 18s, should I be concerned?
15:10 – Q6: CSL – Why is the price trending down?
17:53 – Q7: Has there been any commentary from Shannon on the SpaceX IPO coming up? May he sgare his thoughts.
