Sean HickmanGUEST
We recently sold ResMed, I think recently, a few weeks or a few months ago, and recognize everything that it's a great company.

Sean HickmanGUEST
But we felt at that moment in time that we would get a far bigger bang for our buck from ProMedicus, which is, and it's turned out to be a great short-term play.

Sean HickmanGUEST
And it's interesting, I sat down with James and said, maybe we should actually, we're going to sound like traders, but maybe we should go back into ResMed from ProMedicas because we're 25% ahead of the curve, which is not to be sneezed at when the market goes up 10 or 15% per annum, you know, in history.

Sean HickmanGUEST
So, you know, if you were looking at the health care sector, I think we'll see stocks like Ansel, you know, FPH.

Sean HickmanGUEST
A few questions in there, isn't it? Well, let me just address how we look upon dollar cost averaging.

Sean HickmanGUEST
When I'm looking at a stock, when James is looking at a stock, if we don't plan to accumulate on the back foot before we dip our toe in the water, we very rarely change our plans.

Sean HickmanGUEST
If we say, right, we look to buy BHP at $50 and we'll buy more at $48, buy more at $46, the plan was set at the beginning.

Sean HickmanGUEST
And when that happens, then we're looking at it in a cold light of day and human emotion is not coming into it.

Sean HickmanGUEST
If you've bought that stock and now emotion wise, you're getting uncomfortable and you think about averaging and you haven't made the plan beforehand, it's not necessarily coming from a position of strength.

Sean HickmanGUEST
So to me, averaging without a plan is a very, very dangerous game because you end up with a bigger position in the stock going down and that's not good.

Not a huge one, but just another sort of piece of the puzzle for Rio amidst all the commodity interest, Sean.

Our stock of the day pick was joining us Sean Hickman from Market Matters and Scott Phillips from The Motley Fool.

Sean HickmanGUEST
I mean, that's a pretty significant 15 odd percent miss against the Jefferies number.

Sean HickmanGUEST
And two years ago, I sat in this room and said our top pick for the following year or two was Samphire or was it Copper Play.

Sean HickmanGUEST
And since BHPs bought Oz Minerals, which we felt at the time and owned at the time was a better quality Copper Play, Samphire is where the weight of money is gone.

Sean HickmanGUEST
So we're long samphire in our active growth portfolio, and it's looked after us extremely well.

Sean HickmanGUEST
Now, last year, during a lot of the volatility, a lot of the uncertainty, I sat here and week in, week out and said, we're bullish.

Sean HickmanGUEST
Didn't look very good in April, but fortunately we held our nerve and we bought some of the stocks there.

Sean HickmanGUEST
but yeah the thing to look at sure revenue 801 million came in up 45 year on year but that was you know a very slight beat on expectations so how a share moves after result is normally comes down to a couple of things how does it complete compare to what the market was expecting how it guides and going forward which is probably the most important thing at the moment and also how well the stock has rallied or fallen into the respective results so there's more a few moving parts here We saw that with CSL.

Sean HickmanGUEST
CSL's result was mixed, messy, wasn't a disaster, but the stock had rallied strongly into the result, and we all know what happened there.

Sean HickmanGUEST
So that is the reason, in our opinion, why Southern Cross hasn't really gone anywhere.

Sean HickmanGUEST
And one of my concerns with this stock is, as it grows, it's a half a billion dollar company at the moment.

So do you have a personal anecdote or a market matters anecdote about Minres?

Sean HickmanGUEST
We didn't get caught with Pilbara to sit on my sword and say we did get caught with Minresources.

Sean HickmanGUEST
You know, it's one of the two billionaires behaving badly, as we like to call it.

Sean HickmanGUEST
And for various reasons, that's been very much a story over the last 12 months.

Sean HickmanGUEST
But now, and it's just what Rudy was saying, we've seen some of these stocks in the space have big moves in recent weeks.

you're not concerned about recession in the US, trade trouble, getting the products, which presumably some are manufactured in China.
